the seventh bride

Chapter 135 Jump From Here
Watching his originally elegant smile gradually become tinged with coldness, Bai Jingping finally realized that he was not joking anymore, and thought about what his wife and daughter had done recently.

His face paled instantly, Nangong Chen found out?When did he find out?

Then about the company....

After a long while, he opened his mouth and asked, "Yintian Company... is yours?"

"That's right." Nangong Chen nodded.

"You...!" Bai Jingping suddenly stood up from the sofa, stared at him in astonishment and gritted his teeth: "So it's all your fault?"

"This is just a small counterattack, and the wonderful things are yet to come." Nan Gongchen put the cigarette butt out in the ashtray, and smiled harmlessly: "Chairman Bai, this little trick of mine has nothing to do with your Bai family. Grand plans are nothing compared to the big ones, they are nothing."

"What exactly do you want?" Bai Jingping asked tremblingly after a while.He came here today to ask for support with a thick old face. He didn't expect this kind of result. It was a shocking and angry result.

He could barely stand and fell back to the sofa, his heart clenched with anger.

Nangong Chen glanced at the small medicine jar on the table, and smiled mockingly: "Didn't you just say that, share the pills in here with your two precious daughters, and I will pack and send them to Baishi and Yintian Company." for you."

"What are you kidding? You're crazy!"

Want him to kill two daughters with his own hands?Did he hear correctly?
"It's your Bai family who are crazy..." Nangong Chen leaned forward a little, took a sip from the teacup on the table, and looked at him: "Also... I, Nangong Chen, never joke."

"Well, I'll give you another choice." Nangong Chen pointed in the direction of the floor-to-ceiling window with his chin: "If you jump from here, I'll let your two precious daughters go."

Bai Jingping followed his gaze out of the window, this is the [-]th floor, jumping off would not be dead.

"You still don't want to, right?" Nangong Chen stood up from the sofa and said with a smile, "Don't be so nervous, Director Bai. I'm just joking with you. 20 years in prison should be more painful than jumping from here. I still like to watch you go to jail, it must be fun."

"Nangong Chen...you are not human!" Bai Jingping was so angry that his body swayed unsteadily.

"Yes, I'm not a human being, but your Bai family is."

"you……."

Nangong Chen looked at his precarious state, then went to the desk, picked up the phone and dialed the secretarial department: "Call an ambulance."

After putting the microphone on, Nangong Chen turned around and faced him again: "Bai Dong, do you have anything else to say? If not... Sorry, I'm very busy."

Bai Jingping raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead, his breath was already extremely unstable, he stared at Nangong Chen and asked with difficulty: "I'm dead, can you relieve your anger?"

Nangong Chen pondered for a while, then pulled the corner of his lips and smiled: "It's hard to say."

*****
"What's the matter, Dad? Wasn't he fine this morning?" Bai Ying'an asked worriedly while looking at Bai Jingping on the hospital bed.

"I don't know either, it was Nangong Chen's assistant who was admitted to the hospital with the ambulance." Xu Yarong said: "I heard from that female assistant that your father fainted in Nangong Chen's office, and I don't know what happened. "

"Could it be that Young Master Chen didn't agree? That's why Dad is in a hurry?" Bai Yingan took out the phone from his bag: "I'll call Young Master Chen to ask."

She was holding the phone and was about to dial the number, but at this moment Bai Jingping turned his head quietly and said in a weak voice: "No need..."

"Dad, are you awake?" Bai Ying'an froze for a moment, then hurriedly put down the phone and held his father's palm: "Dad, how are you doing? What's wrong with you?"

Bai Jingping opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word, he just held Bai Yingan's little hand tightly.

"Dad, don't talk, just lie down."

Bai Jingping looked at her, two teardrops unconsciously slipped from the corners of his eyes.

"Ying'an...it's dad who didn't protect you, dad is incompetent." If he hadn't spoiled his daughter, she wouldn't have become as arrogant and domineering as she is now.

If he hadn't agreed with his wife's idea and brought Bai Muqing back to marry her, the Bai family would not have ended up in today's end.He no longer dared to count on the company, and now he only hoped that Nangong Chen would let his wife and daughter go.

"Dad...don't be like this." Bai Ying'an's eyes were moved: "It doesn't matter if the company is gone, I can support you and mother in the future, don't forget that I am the young lady of the Nangong family now."

"The young lady of the Nangong family..." Bai Jingping smiled bitterly, and tightened her hand: "Ying'an... If Nangongchen doesn't want you someday, don't worry, don't do stupid things, find someone else A man gets married and lives a good life."

"Dad, what are you talking about?"

"Father told you to be serious." Bai Jingping didn't tell them about Nangong Chen's current change, because he was afraid that they would panic and they wouldn't be able to accept it.

Bai Muqing is going to marry Lin Annan soon, he doesn't want to affect the couple's wedding, if Lin Annan can protect Bai Muqing, that would be the best!

"Master, you're not cancer, nor are you seriously ill, you're just weak, don't scare the child like you're saying goodbye to someone else's life." Xu Yarong tucked the quilt up for him: "Stop talking, take a good rest , I'm still waiting for you to leave the hospital to settle accounts with you."

Knowing that she was referring to the encounter with Zhu Hui yesterday morning, Bai Jingping smiled weakly: "Okay... I'll wait for you to settle the score with me, if you don't make trouble with me for three days and three nights, I won't pay you." Get used to it."

"You know you're poor." Xu Yarong scolded reproachfully.

*****
After thinking about it, Zhu Hui finally came to Bai Jingping's ward when Xu Yarong and Bai Ying'an were not around.

The nurse saw her coming in, looked at Bai Jingping on the hospital bed, and then retreated out tactfully.

Bai Jingping did not expect that Zhu Hui would come to see him, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and then he called softly: "Xiaohui, you are here."

Zhu Hui walked over, looked at the emaciated him, and felt distressed in her heart: "Are you okay?"

"Fortunately, it's much better than yesterday." Bai Jingping tried his best to sit up, and Zhu Hui hurriedly stepped forward to help him put the pillow on.

"What about you? How is Xiaoyi?" Bai Jingping asked her retortly.

"He's doing fine and is awaiting surgery."

The two were relatively silent, and the atmosphere seemed awkward. Zhu Hui broke the silence and said, "I just came to see you. Since I have nothing to do, I'll go back first."

"Xiaohui." Bai Jingping suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist the moment she turned around.

Zhu Hui was startled for a moment, then turned to look at him.

"May I ask you one last time, is Mu Qing my daughter?" Bai Jingping stared at her and asked solemnly.

Zhu Hui stared at him, then smiled bitterly.

She thought he would say sorry to herself. He was sorry for her a lot in the past and in the recent past.Or say something else to yourself, at least it can make her feel a little bit better, what a pity!

He is so ruthless, but she really cares about him. After the meeting yesterday morning, her whole heart was broken.

Obviously people don't want her to ignore her long ago, but she still feels sorry for him after seeing him sick.She also felt that she was cheap like this, the scolding of Mu Qing yesterday was actually scolding herself!

"Can you tell me the truth, please?" Bai Jingping asked again.

Zhu Hui blinked her eyes, forced back the layer of tears in her eyes, and said sadly: "When Mu Qing was young, I took her to Bai's house to recognize her, and your mother scolded me for giving birth to a daughter. Still have the face to come back and grab the position of the mistress of the Bai family. When I came to the door again a year later, she pointed at Mu Qing's face and said that she looked like the Bai family, and then threw our mother and daughter out of the Bai family. Later, I got angry Turned Mu Qing into Bai Yingan, but was beaten up by your mother and wife, and your wife threatened to destroy Mu Qing's face with a knife. At that time, I finally gave up and finally understood Your Bai family doesn't believe in Mu Qing, but you don't want to recognize her at all. I know that every time I bring Mu Qing to the door, you hide in the room and avoid me, and you don't even look at Mu Qing But I don't understand, Bai Ying'an is also a girl, why can she get your mother's love? Is it because Xu Yarong's natal family is rich?"

Her tears finally fell down uncontrollably, and she choked with sobs in a low voice: "You clearly know that Mu Qing is your biological daughter, but you still ask like this, if I gave birth to a son, your Bai family wouldn't treat me like this, right Is it all because I'm useless and can't give birth to a son, right...?"

She bit her lip, unable to speak.

Bai Jingping looked at her, and it took him a while to say three words apologetically: "I'm sorry."

"What's the use of being sorry? You have already caused me and Mu Qing to become like this. If it wasn't for your repeated rejection, I would not have taken Mu Qing for plastic surgery, and I would not have given you the opportunity to force her to marry into the Nangong family. " Zhu Hui shook her head suddenly: "No, I should be blamed, I was too impulsive, and I caused Mu Qing to become what she is today."

Bai Jingping's eyes couldn't help getting hot, and he said guiltily, "You're right, it's my fault."

But, what's the use of knowing it's wrong?It can no longer be made up.

"I hope her wedding the day after tomorrow can be completed smoothly, and I hope she and Lin Annan can live happily ever after." Bai Jingping murmured, "Lin Annan still loves her very much, right? Will he always protect her?"

Zhu Hui looked at him: "Aren't you still doubting her? Why do you care about her future?"

"As long as you tell me that Mu Qing is my biological daughter, I will no longer doubt it." Bai Jingping stared at her, and said this sentence that he had never dared to say.

If he still dare not recognize this daughter at this time, then he will not forgive himself even if he is a ghost.

"Let me meet her?" he asked suddenly.

Zhu Hui looked at him, was silent for a while and then shook her head: "So what can you do? Do you dare to take her home? Do you dare to recognize her? Will you let her marry from the Bai family mansion?"

Bai Jingping fell silent.

Zhu Hui sneered: "If you can't even do these things, what face do you have to see her?"

"Xiaohui." Bai Jingping looked up at her and said, "Don't be like this, please? Just treat it as the last time a father sees his daughter."

"Why is it the last one? What's wrong with you?" Zhu Hui suddenly became nervous when she heard him say that.

Bai Jingping shook his head: "It's nothing, I just feel that my body is getting weaker and weaker, and I'm afraid I'll collapse if I'm not careful one day. Also, even if such a big incident happened to the company, even if I don't die now, I won't die in the future." No more prisons."

Zhu Hui only heard that there was something wrong with Bai's family, but she didn't expect it to be so serious. She was always soft-hearted, but when she heard what Bai Jingping said, she immediately compromised, turned around and walked to the door of the ward.

Bai Muqing didn't want to meet Bai Jingping. When she left Bai Jingping's house, she yelled in front of Bai Jingping that she wanted to sever ties with him, and she had already made up her mind to break up with him.

But she couldn't resist her mother's persuasion and entreaties, and finally came to Bai Jingping's hospital bed.

Looking at her frail father who was completely different from before on the hospital bed, the always kind-hearted woman couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic, but the sympathy was sympathetic, but on the surface it was still cold.

"Bai Dong, what can I do for you?" She asked flatly.

Looking at her indifferent face, Bai Jingping felt a little sad in his heart, but he asked for all of these, and he knew it in his heart.After staring at her for a while, he finally said quietly: "Mu Qing, I'm sorry."

Bai Muqing shook her head: "Bai Dong, I don't accept your apology, what else can I ask?"

"Mu Qing." Zhu Hui reminded softly at the side: "You can't talk to your father like this."

However, Bai Muqing angrily turned to Zhu Hui, stared at her and said angrily: "Mom, did you make a mistake? Have you forgotten how their family treated us? You actually want me to recognize her as your father? You Do you have any self-esteem and bottom line?"

She was so angry that she didn't even care about her mother's feelings when she spoke.

At the beginning, it was because her mother persuaded her to forgive her father over and over again, that's why she foolishly ran over when the Bai family pretended to pick her up for a reunion with the Bai family, and was forced to marry Nangong Chen immediately after.

In the past year, she had escaped death all thanks to this family. Her cowardly mother actually wanted her to forgive her?

She now understands that a large part of the reason why her character is so weak and incompetent is inherited from her useless mother.

Zhu Hui was reprimanded by her and bowed her head.

Bai Jingping took a breath helplessly: "Mu Qing, I did feel sorry for you a lot in the past, and I know that you will never forgive me again. As a father, I didn't fulfill the slightest responsibility to you, and even brought you Papa is here to apologize to you for the endless harm, okay?"

"unnecessary."

"Mu Qing, dad won't be able to handle it this time, maybe this is the last time our father and daughter will meet."

Hearing what he said, Bai Muqing finally looked him straight in the eye, but her tone was still mocking: "What? Got a terminal illness? Can't you survive?"

"Well, almost."

"It's true...the wicked will be rewarded with evil." She sneered.

"Mu Qing!" Zhu Hui couldn't help but blame again.

Bai Jingping had an indifferent expression on his face, and instead smiled self-deprecatingly: "Yes, the wicked will be rewarded with evil, and God is indeed fair."

Bai Muqing nodded: "Okay, I know, I will definitely see you off for the last time after you return to the west, is there anything else Bai Dong can do?"

Bai Jingping moved his body slightly, took out a bank card from under the pillow, and said, "Now that the company has had such a big incident, all the properties under my name have been frozen, and I don't have much funds at hand. Divide this money into two, and give you and Ying'an 300 million each."

He handed over the bank card: "The password is your birthday, please keep the money, and you can have a backup in case something happens in the future."

Bai Muqing glanced down at the bank card in his hand, feeling a little moved in her heart, she is such a person who is easily moved by others, such a person who has no position.It's not that he was moved by his 300 million, but by what he just said.

Although she hated him and resented him, it was her biological father after all. Seeing him say these farewell words so weakly, the resentment towards him was gradually draining away in her heart.

She shook her head, secretly reminding herself not to be shaken by his pity.

"Leave the money to your precious daughter, I don't need it."

"Mu Qing..."

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Bai Muqing turned around and walked towards the door of the ward.

Zhu Hui looked at Bai Muqing who was walking out, then at Bai Jingping who was on the hospital bed, and finally said helplessly: "Mu Qing's heart is very soft, if she hadn't been hurt by you, she wouldn't treat you like this." manner."

"I know, I'm sorry for her." Bai Jingping handed the card to her instead: "Help her accept the card, she will need it someday."

Zhu Hui looked at the bank card in his hand, and shook her head: "No need, we've made it through such hardships, and we can survive even if something happens in the future."

"Bai Dong, you can rest easy and recuperate from your illness. Don't worry, Mu Qing and I will never pester you again." Zhu Hui smiled at him: "Bai Dong take care."

"Even you call me that." Bai Jingping smiled wryly.

Zhu Hui said nothing, turned and left his ward.

*****
Seeing Bai Jingping, Bai Muqing was somewhat affected.

Is this really the last time she will see her father in name?Why do you feel so sad?
Hearing footsteps coming from behind, she quickly gathered her thoughts, turned her head to look at Zhu Hui who walked in, looked at the sad look on her face and asked, "Mom, are you worried about him?"

"Even a young and strong young man must not be able to withstand such a big incident in the company." Zhu Hui took a light breath.

Bai Muqing suddenly felt a little sympathetic to her mother, she had loved such a man all her life, but in the end she couldn't get him.

When she was young, Bai Jingping avoided her. She had no choice but to marry a gambler man, and gave birth to an unhealthy child.The unsatisfactory marriage and the illness of Xiaoyi, she has suffered a lot in her life.

She unconsciously put her arms around her shoulders and promised softly: "Mom, don't worry, I will never let you and Xiaoyi suffer again."

Zhu Hui nodded and patted her on the shoulder: "When you marry Annan and Xiaoyi's operation is successful, I will have nothing to worry about in my life."

"Well, everything will be fine."

The mother and daughter comforted each other for a while, and Zhu Hui suddenly said, "Tomorrow is your wedding with An Nan, so hurry up and get busy with your affairs, I will take care of you."

Bai Muqing smiled and said: "I asked Annan, and he said that there is nothing I need to help, so I can stay with Xiaoyi in the hospital with peace of mind."

"You are the bride and the protagonist of tomorrow. How can you not be busy?" Zhu Hui urged, "Go quickly."

Bai Muqing thinks about it too, she obviously got married by herself, but she didn't help to prepare for the wedding at all, she was about to leave the ward to find Lin Annan.But Xiaoyi said at this time: "Sister, I'm going to be discharged from the hospital, and I want to attend your wedding."

Bai Muqing turned around the steps she had just taken, walked to his hospital bed, took his little hand and comforted him: "But the doctor said you can't leave the hospital, didn't we agree today, you stay in the hospital obediently, why don't you leave the hospital?" They are not allowed to go."

"But I really want to see my sister as a bride."

"Xiaoyi." Zhu Hui comforted: "Aren't you always the one who protects your sister the most? Why don't you listen to your sister?"

Xiaoyi curled her lips and stopped talking.

*****
After Bai Muqing left the hospital, she called Lin Annan.

Lin Annan on the other end of the phone asked nervously, "What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

"No, Xiaoyi is fine."

"Oh, that freaked me out."

"What? In your image, I only call you when there is something urgent?"

"Isn't it?" Lin Annan asked back.

Bai Muqing was stunned by his rhetorical question, thinking about her recent relationship with Lin Annan, it seemed that Lin Annan called her every time, but she never called him.

She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I will definitely call you often in the future."

Lin Annan smiled: "In the future? We will live together in the future, so there is no need to call."

Bai Muqing also laughed, a little embarrassed: "That's right."

"Tell me, what's the matter with calling me?" Lin Annan asked.

"Actually, it's nothing. I just want to ask you if you need my help. After all, tomorrow is also my wedding, so I feel a little flustered."

"Are you flustered?" Lin Annan thought for a while, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that no one will accompany me to dinner tonight, so I'll give you a chance."

"Don't come here, I'm asking if you need help with your wedding."

"Everything is ready for the wedding, just waiting for you." Lin Annan asked with a smile, "Where are you? I'll go pick you up now."

Bai Muqing glanced around and said, "I'm beside the main road in front of the hospital."

"Okay, just wait there, I'll be right there." Lin Annan said and hung up the phone.

Lin Annan arrived in a short while, and the two came to a French restaurant in the city center together.

Bai Muqing looked around the luxuriously decorated restaurant and said, "I came out to help prepare for the wedding, but you actually brought me here?"

Lin Annan smiled and cut a piece of veal steak for her: "Today is the last day of your life as a single, and it is also the last time we date as a couple, don't you want to make good use of it?"

Bai Muqing thought about it, indeed, she didn't even realize this problem.

After tomorrow's wedding, she and Lin Annan will become an official husband and wife, and they will no longer be able to be as free as they are now, and they will not be able to find the whereabouts of their daughter as before.

The day before yesterday Su Xi asked her to go to Doctor Xingxing to have a look, but the opportunity was missed when she was delayed because of something trivial.

"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly become so sad?" Lin Annan looked at her with a slight smile.

Bai Muqing came back to her senses, stared at him and chuckled: "It's not your fault, I didn't realize it at first."

"Okay, I was wrong." Lin Annan pointed to the delicacies on her plate: "Let's not talk about these sad things, let's eat quickly."

After taking a few bites, Lin Annan raised his head and said, "Auntie is going to accompany Xiaoyi in the hospital, maybe she won't be there until the preparations for the wedding banquet start, but don't worry, I'll let the makeup artist and some wedding service staff go there earlier Shanti Garden. Go to bed early tonight, don’t be unable to get up and put on makeup tomorrow morning.”

"I know, I'll go to bed early."

"Anyone with you tonight?"

"Yes, Yao Mei will come to accompany me."

"Where's Su Xi?"

"Su Xi was caught by her father and went on a business trip abroad, so she couldn't come." Bai Muqing said with some regret.

"It's okay, as long as Yao Mei is with you." Lin Annan smiled reassuringly.

The two had dinner together, and went to the riverside to see the river view together, Lin Annan sent Bai Muqing back to Xiangdi Apartment.

The car was parked under the apartment building, Bai Muqing unbuckled her seat belt, turned her head and found Lin Annan looking at her, and smiled at him like this: "What's wrong? Can't bear me?"

"Well, I can't wait for tomorrow." Lin Annan leaned over, turned her body around, and then lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.

Embarrassed, Bai Muqing stepped back a little, and said to him: "Don't just blame me, you should rest early, so that you will have the energy to drink with the guests tomorrow."

"Okay, then I'll go back first." Lin Annan kissed her on the lips again before letting go of her: "Go up."

Bai Muqing nodded, opened the door and got out of the car.

After watching Lin Annan's car go far away, she turned around and walked towards the elevator room. As soon as she stepped in, she froze for an instant, and her body froze in place.

She looked at Nangong Chen who was holding his trouser pocket with one hand and controlling the door button of the elevator with the other in surprise. Instinctively...she wanted to turn around and run away.

For this man, she already has fear. She is afraid that what happened that night will happen again, and she is afraid that there will be some accidents at tomorrow's wedding because of her.

"Why don't you go in?" Nangong Chen leaned against the wall with a wicked smile on his face.

"I... wait for the next one." Bai Muqing walked to another elevator and stood still.

"I've been waiting for you for as long as you and your fiance have been in the car. Do you really have the heart to refuse?"

Bai Muqing's face became hot, he saw...

She took a deep breath and stepped in.
