Is...is that so?

Andy looked stunned.

“Of course,” Bai Ye said. “In fact, I can even tell you a little secret: her mother had already been secretly preparing to transfer assets to help her fight for the family fortune…”

Andy was truly amazed.

I've seen various methods used by wealthy families to fight for inheritance in storybooks, but I never imagined that Qu Xiaoxiao's family could pull off so many tricks with such a tiny amount of assets.

"So, you should just ignore her."

Bai Ye said:

"She doesn't need your concern at all. Her mother has arranged everything for her."

Andy relaxed immediately.

Next.

Andy received another call from Tan Zongming, who asked how things were going on Andy's end.

She felt there was nothing to hide, so she picked out the key points and told her longtime friend Tan Zongming everything.

Tan Zongming: "Who are you, the one surnamed Bai? I suggest you get a genome test?"

“Yes!” Andy said, “He said that instead of letting me worry unnecessarily, we should take the initiative to solve the problem and use scientific methods to test it. Then everything will be clear. Even if there are some genetic defects, the condition can be alleviated through early treatment.”

"Actually... this isn't a bad idea either," Tan Zongming said. "Listen to me, Andy, you're a top student from Columbia University, and you've been very rational for over thirty years. Who am I, Tan Zongming? I can entrust you with a multi-million dollar acquisition deal without worry, which proves that I have confidence in you. Don't doubt yourself unnecessarily!"

"I understand." Andy smiled gently. "Old Tan, thank you."

hang up the phone.

Tan Zongming's expression instantly turned cold.

What Andy is experiencing now is exactly what he wanted to avoid most, but it still happened.

That guy surnamed Bai...

They act without thinking, never considering the extent of the harm such actions would cause to Andy, who was adopted as a child and lacked a sense of security.

Based on his understanding of Andy, even though Andy can appear calm on the surface, he knows how much panic she is inside.

Well, Tan Zongming only knows the Andy of the past; he doesn't understand the Andy of the present at all...

Bai Ye stayed with Andy at the hospital all day to check on Xiao Ming's condition. After all the crying and struggling, the child seemed to have begun to accept his fate and slowly learn to get used to his new living environment.

It's not about crying and wailing anymore.

This relieved both Andy and Dean Xiuyuan.

Everything is moving in a positive direction.

That evening, Bai Ye accompanied Andy back to Ode to Joy. Since it was already late, Bai Ye didn't have time to greet the girls in Ode to Joy 2202.

Bai Ye went home, took a shower, dried her hair, put on her pajamas, and was just about to get a good night's sleep when...

Doorbell rang.

Bai Ye opened the door and saw Tan Zongming standing in front of him with a furious expression.

"you……"

Bai Ye had just opened his mouth, but before he could even speak, Tan Zongming punched him in the face.

Can Bai Ye indulge him?

With a slight tilt of his head, he dodged Tan Zongming's attack and simultaneously kicked out, hitting Tan Zongming squarely in the knee. Tan Zongming's knee buckled, and he knelt down in front of Bai Ye. Bai Ye then elbowed Tan Zongming in the stomach.

Yawen Library

Holy crap!

Tan Zongming blurted out, "Bai Ye's hit really hurts!"

Hitting the stomach is a method that is less likely to cause serious injury but can still incapacitate someone.

Tan Zongming only took one elbow, but his face immediately contorted in pain, his entire face twisted in agony.

He felt as if he were about to die.

It felt like my internal organs were being torn apart.

"Hey, isn't this the famous President Tan?" Bai Ye acted as if he had just met Tan Zongming, and said in a pretentious manner, "Why aren't you enjoying yourself at home, but instead come to my little house to beat someone up?"

"Cough cough..." Tan Zongming began to vomit violently: "Cough cough cough..."

His stomach began to spasm.

Bai Ye was very measured in his actions; he inflicted great pain without actually causing any real danger.

half an hour.

Tan Zongming finally emerged from the intense pain. He leaned against the wall of Bai Ye's house, sat down on the ground, and gasped for breath.

"Who...who exactly are you? I don't believe you're just an ordinary second-generation rich kid! I've investigated your background, and it's completely blank! What exactly is your purpose in approaching Andy?"

"I..." Bai Ye smiled and said, "My name is Bai Ye. As for my purpose in approaching Andy... do you think there's anything about Andy that would make someone go to such lengths to scheme against her? Andy's personal assets of fifty million? Don't be ridiculous!"

"Don't change the subject." Tan Zongming asked warily, "Why is your information completely blank? Who exactly are you?"

Tan Zongming was initially furious because Bai Ye had revealed things Andy shouldn't have known, and wanted to settle scores with Bai Ye. He planned to use his skills, honed through years of fitness training and occasional boxing practice, to teach Bai Ye a lesson. However, upon arriving at Bai Ye's house…

He was directly knocked out by Bai Ye.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

"Your target might not be Andy, but rather you want to use Andy to cause trouble for me, right?"

Tan Zongming probed.

"Who I am, I think, you'll get an answer when you come downstairs."

Bai Ye pointed towards the elevator and said.

There's nothing to say between him and this Tan Zongming.

Although this person seems impressive and powerful, in the eyes of rich second-generation heirs like Qu Xiaoxiao, he is rich, capable, and well-connected. He can shake the financial circle of Shanghai with a stomp of his foot. But do these things have anything to do with Bai Ye?

He only has a net worth of a few billion. To be honest, Tan Zongming is far less wealthy than him!

Not to mention, if he were solely focused on making money, he wouldn't even dare to imagine how much he could actually acquire.

Seeing that his probing was ineffective, Tan Zongming added, "Even if you didn't come for me, you shouldn't have let Andy know the truth so easily. That would definitely not be a good thing for her, who is already so vulnerable!"

“Andy isn’t as fragile as you think,” Bai Ye said calmly. “And I don’t think you have the right to arrange Andy’s life for her. What she wants to do is her own decision. Why should you worry about it?”

Tan Zongming: "I'm doing this for Andy's own good!"

Bai Ye: "Then for your own good, I advise you to stop meddling in Andy's affairs. You should take care of yourself first!"

Tan Zongming stared at Bai Ye for a long time, realizing that he wouldn't get any useful information from him.

Once his body had finally regained its mobility, Tan Zongming got up on his own.

"No matter who you are or what you want to do, I hope you don't hurt Andy, otherwise I will never let you off the hook."

Tan Zongming made some harsh remarks.

Bai Ye didn't even bother to acknowledge him.

To be frank, this guy isn't exactly a good person either.

Tan Zongming and Andy were classmates and old friends. Tan Zongming showed Andy a lot of care and concern, which clearly indicated that he also had feelings for Andy.

However, because of his status and position, this guy didn't dare to pursue Andy. He knew Andy quite well; she had a family history of mental illness, and there was a possibility of a relapse in her. Given Mr. Tan's wealth and influence, he wouldn't take that risk. Since he had such a level of wealth, he was definitely quite rational in his actions; pursuing or loving someone would certainly involve weighing the pros and cons.

The woman Tan Zongming wants to marry is definitely not a strong, independent woman like Andy. Instead, he needs a woman who can manage family relationships exceptionally well, an area Andy lacks. Tan Zongming's wealth means he doesn't need his wife to work hard outside the home.

Andy's value lies in her work; she initially worked on Wall Street in the United States. Mr. Tan recruited her to his company because he absolutely recognized Andy's abilities. This has been proven by Andy's work performance and achievements. In other words, Andy's greatest value to Tan Zongming lies in the value she created through her work.

And given Tan Zongming's wealth, would he be an honest person, or someone who is faithful in relationships? Mr. Tan loves cars, he has as many cars as women have shoes... So is it possible that Tan Zongming lacks women around him? Mr. Tan is someone who knows how to enjoy life.

In short, Tan Zongming's businessman's nature made it impossible for him to pursue Andy. From the company's perspective, Andy was primarily a subordinate, an employee. His goal wasn't to pursue Andy, but to maximize her work value. Tan Zongming was a shrewd businessman; he wouldn't lose such an important employee and assistant just to pursue Andy.

So don't be fooled by Tan Zongming's seemingly saintly demeanor of secretly protecting Andy. In Bai Ye's eyes, he's nothing more than a standard right-wing capitalist, so repulsive that it makes you want to vomit. What the hell are you trying to be self-righteous about?

"Stupid!"

Bai Ye shook his head and went back to sleep.

Tan Zongming got off the elevator by himself.

"That guy... he's really good at fighting!" Tan Zongming clutched his chest. "I feel like my bile is about to come out. Next time we meet, I definitely can't go alone. I'll at least bring a few more bodyguards!"

He arrived at the parking lot of the Joyful Song residential complex. As soon as his car drove out of the complex's gate, he was forced to stop.

Tan Zongming rolled down the car window and saw a serious-looking man in a black suit standing in front of him.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Tan Zongming?"

"It's me, what's up?"

Tan Zongming originally wanted to get angry, but judging from the people's clothing and expressions, he felt that something was not right.

"We are from the relevant department." The person showed his identification and said, "We have important matters to investigate, Mr. Tan. We hope you will cooperate."

Tan Zongming was completely dumbfounded when he saw the identification the visitor presented.

A person of his wealth and status could practically walk sideways across all of China, fearless and invincible, but the one thing that truly caused him immense trouble was... getting involved with this department in front of him.

Tan Zongming was in a state of utter confusion.

He quickly tried to recall if he had done anything outrageous recently... After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of anything.

Yes, he did transfer some assets, but that was a legal means, and everyone does it. It has absolutely nothing to do with this department, right?

"Comrade, may I ask what I have done wrong?"

"Mr. Tan, you'll know the answer to this question once you come with us."

Seeing the other party's businesslike manner, Tan Zongming had no choice but to accept it.

He, a financial tycoon, can flaunt his power and influence with others, but here... well, let's just forget about it.
