The Scheming Ex-Husband's Courtship-Chapter 503 - 448 What Are Your Conditions_2

Chapter 503: Chapter 448 What Are Your Conditions_2
The president protected her because of Bai Chengxi, and now her relationship with Bai Chengxi might just be a fleeting encounter. With Bai Chengxi’s true old flame surfacing, it’s uncertain how long she can hold onto the position of Mrs. Bai. Once Bai Chengxi kicks her out, the president would offend Su Yingluo, so, before things are thoroughly clarified, the president also dares not speak up for her.
The editor-in-chief really likes Zhuo Yuqing, and he mentioned these things for her sake. It’s not easy for a young girl who just graduated from university to get to where she is today, and he doesn’t want her efforts to go to waste halfway.
Zhuo Yuqing certainly understood the editor-in-chief’s intention, feeling inevitably melancholic. The society was not quite as she initially thought; it seemed everyone was pursuing fame and fortune, people become wavering grass at the wall upon facing money and power, real relationships between people don’t exist, today they could be inseparable, and tomorrow they could betray you utterly.
"I understand, editor-in-chief, thank you." Zhuo Yuqing now felt that she might as well not take the deputy editor position, she just wanted to resolve this matter quickly, as for the rest, she was unwilling to think about it for now.
"Then take a few days off now, you know, those people online are like crazy, biting anyone they can." The editor-in-chief kindly instructed.
Zhuo Yuqing thanked the editor-in-chief, and as she pushed the door, there were four or five colleagues standing outside. They didn’t expect her to come out so soon, and they were startled, but soon pretended to pass by and dispersed.
The matter between Zhuo Yuqing and Bai Chengxi had previously been publicized disgracefully by Tong Bi, and it was only suppressed after Bai Chengxi personally stepped in. With this matter out, Zhuo Yuqing was in a situation where even jumping into the Yellow River couldn’t clean her slate, and she wondered what those colleagues might be saying behind her back.
She returned to her desk, quickly packed up some belongings, and prepared to go home for the break.
"Yuqing, someone is looking for you." Just then, the office door opened, and the receptionist led in a lady dressed in a fiery red outfit, "This granny here."
"Granny?" Zhuo Yuqing was surprised to see Madam Bai appear so suddenly here, she immediately put down her stuff and went up to her, "Granny, why did you come over?"
"To see you." Madam Bai held Zhuo Yuqing’s hands, carefully examining her up and down, and seeing her bright eyes, she finally put down the heavy stone in her heart.
The old lady, who always likes to stay trendy, would browse the internet and follow celebrity news in her free time, so she was aware of this news as soon as it broke out. Seeing her son and daughter-in-law dodging around, she understood that they were afraid of her finding out. Therefore, she directly confronted both of them. The Bai family couldn’t just stand by and do nothing regarding this issue.
The Bai family was aware of the relationship between Bai Chengxi and Su Yingluo, and at the time, Madam Bai was not very supportive of it. She did not particularly like girls who were actresses, always believing they were too caught up in fame and fortune, their tears falling too easily, never knowing if they were genuine or not. Dealing with such people always required extra caution. Madam Bai was straightforward, and although she had met Su Yingluo a couple of times, she always felt they did not click.
However, since her grandson liked the girl, she did not oppose too strongly, turning a blind eye was considered a tacit agreement.
But she didn’t expect that her grandson would propose to the girl, and moreover, he would be gone for ten years. Upon learning this, Madam Bai became furious and adamantly opposed their being together.
Later, they actually broke up. Madam Bai knew her grandson deeply valued this relationship and she saw his heartbroken state, but she always believed that this girl was not the right person for her grandson, and missing out was not a loss.
Until later, when her grandson brought Zhuo Yuqing back, Madam Bai knew at a glance that this was the granddaughter-in-law she wanted, completely different from that previous celebrity.
"Your mother-in-law didn’t let me come by myself, but I couldn’t wait any longer." Madam Bai, holding Zhuo Yuqing’s hand apologetically, said: "Yuqing, this situation must have caused you a lot of trouble, hasn’t it?"
"Granny, it’s not as bad as you think, I’m doing quite well." Zhuo Yuqing comforted Madam Bai.
Madam Bai could tell Zhuo Yuqing was consoling her—Bai Chengxi and Su Yingluo were celebrities in the entertainment industry, how could their issue be trivial? Now probably even three-year-olds know about it.
Madam Bai said with a serious face: "Yuqing, don’t worry, our Bai family will definitely uphold justice for you. That Su woman definitely harbors ill intentions, I’m certain this incident was caused by her."
"Granny, Chengxi will handle it, you shouldn’t overexert yourself." Zhuo Yuqing was worried about Madam Bai’s health, fearing that the agitation might cause her illness.
"I’m fine, I won’t rest until this issue is resolved. Our Bai family’s reputation in Aus City over these decades would be tarnished otherwise, to allow others to bully us like this." Madam Bai said: "Come, take me to meet your president."
The president hadn’t even met Madam Bai when he caught wind of her visit. The Bai family was a prominent family in Aus City, one of the six major families that no one dared to provoke, especially Madam Bai who had single-handedly managed the family business to prosperity after the passing of Mr. Bai, her vitality and grace undiminished even in old age.
"Ah, Madam Bai." The president and several leaders hurried out to welcome her.
Madam Bai did not mince words, her visit to the magazine was specifically to vindicate Zhuo Yuqing; those who aimed to tarnish her granddaughter-in-law must first get past her.
