Chapter 239 Dramatic Relationship
She instinctively looked at her uncle.
She saw her uncle pursing his lips, and she wasn't sure if she recognized him.
She thought for a moment and said, "I don't know him."
She said that, but her eyes were fixed on her uncle.
Perhaps her uncle knew her; he had told her that her maternal grandmother, whom she had never met, had left with someone, abandoning him and her mother.
Bai Yujin looked worried and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, do you know this person?"
Upon hearing Bai Yujin's question, Bai Junqing pursed her lips even tighter. Thinking that her uncle would not speak, she looked apologetically at Political Commissar Wei and said, "I'm sorry, Political Commissar Wei."
Immediately afterward, she heard Bai Junqing say, "I know her. She's your maternal grandmother, and also my mother. I never expected her to be here."
As he finished speaking, Bai Junqing's lips curled into a sarcastic smile.
Commissar Wei was shocked.
He opened his mouth, asking, "That's not right, the ages don't match up. How could she be your mother? Or Miss Bai's maternal grandmother? Bai Ruofeng is a cultivator, or..."
He paused, smacked his lips, and said, "Hey, it's really possible. Wow, Lao Zhang, you've got another one of your connections now."
The atmosphere froze instantly upon hearing this.
Chief Zhang's face immediately turned ashen.
He glared at Political Commissar Wei without any politeness and shouted angrily, "If you can't speak properly, then shut up! I really want to seal your mouth shut!"
What do you mean by "another person with connections has been added"?
Chief Zhang seemed to be remembering someone.
His face was so black it looked like ink could drip from it.
He gritted his teeth, and anger welled up from the bottom of his heart.
No one else present dared to utter a sound.
They were afraid of offending Chief Zhang.
However, Political Commissar Wei continued to ramble on, saying, "What can't be said? It's just that your good brother is with Bai Ruofeng. Even if those children don't have the surname Zhang, they are still Zhang family children, aren't they?"
His words are simply making things worse!
Commander Yu quickly stepped forward and covered Political Commissar Wei's mouth tightly, whispering and scolding, "Shut up! Your arrival only makes things worse. If you want to see someone, can't you meet them privately? Why do you have to come here now?"
The relationship between Lao Wei and Lao Zhang is rather complicated. Now, Chief Zhang just wanted to meet Bai Yujin and have a chat, but Lao Wei also showed up.
And then he stirred things up again.
The situation became even more awkward.
It was precisely when the leader was trying to control the situation.
Bai Yujin's eyes were clouded with uncertainty; she didn't know whether she should continue...
She looked at her uncle and asked, "Uncle, are you alright?"
If what Political Commissar Wei said is true, then it means that Chief Zhang's younger brother and maternal grandmother got married, formed a small family, and had children.
That uncle...
Bai Junqing closed his eyes, then opened them again, and said, "She has nothing to do with me. Ever since she abandoned me and my sister, she has not been my mother. The mother-son relationship between us has long been severed. Jin'er, your uncle only has you as his family, and your mother. Even if my sister is not here, she has your father with her. But I only have you by my side, and I only recognize you."
He slowly raised his hand and gently stroked Bai Yujin's black hair.
As Bai Yujin listened to her uncle's words, a warm feeling welled up in her heart. At the same time, she could feel the pain hidden in her uncle's heart. Although her uncle seemed cold on the surface, he was still very soft-hearted and loved her very much.
She nodded and took her uncle's arm, saying, "Uncle, I understand. No matter what happens, I will stand by you. We are family. When I have time, I will contact my mother to see where she is. I will take you with me then, okay?"
When Bai Junqing saw her mention her younger sister, her heart softened even more: "Yes, I'll listen to you."
He felt even more sorry for his younger sister when he thought of her.
The others listened to the conversation between the two men with sympathetic expressions, knowing it was not the right time to interrupt. After listening, Chief Zhang wanted to say something, but Chief Yu reached out and tugged at Chief Zhang's sleeve, shook his head, and signaled him not to speak.
Chief Zhang also noticed his actions.
He couldn't help but look at Bai Yujin subconsciously.
He twitched his lips, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to begin; the relationship was truly complicated.
At this moment, Political Commissar Wei was being pulled by Chief Yu, his mouth was gagged, but his eyes kept darting around, clearly excited by the atmosphere before him.
Finally, his gaze fell on Chief Zhang.
Chief Zhang gave him a cold glance.
"Even if we set aside this relationship, can we still continue to cooperate?"
He desperately needed to cooperate with Bai Yujin, and only by cooperating with Bai Yujin could he obtain some necessities. He suppressed his inner turmoil and slowly asked Bai Yujin.
Bai Yujin did not reply to him immediately.
Instead, she looked at her uncle with concern. If her uncle didn't want to continue cooperating, she could leave at any time. She asked Bai Junqing in a low voice, "Uncle, if you don't want to cooperate, we can leave at any time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chief Yu became anxious.
He hurriedly said, "No, Yujin, you can choose to cooperate with me. It's all about the country anyway. If you don't want to cooperate with Lao Zhang... Hey, little girl, don't do this, okay?"
Chief Yu looked at Bai Yujin with a bitter expression.
His eyes gleamed with anticipation; he genuinely wanted to collaborate with Bai Yujin.
If they couldn't cooperate, he was afraid he would lose his position as commander. He looked at Bai Yujin with a bitter expression, hoping she would change her mind.
Bai Yujin frowned; she knew about Chief Yu's difficulties.
But she was more worried about her uncle's feelings.
She looked up at Bai Junqing, her eyes filled with worry.
Bai Junqing took a deep breath, gently patted Jin'er's hand to indicate that she didn't need to worry, and looked at Chief Yu, saying in a normal tone: "The cooperation can continue, but..." He glanced at Chief Zhang out of the corner of his eye.
How could Chief Zhang not feel the gaze directed his way?
Now he had an even bigger headache.
Could it be that he can't participate in the collaboration?
"I can only talk to you. I'll see about the others later. As for Chief Zhang, let's talk about it later. This is my bottom line."
Bai Junqing's voice was soft, yet it carried an undeniable determination.
Upon hearing this, Chief Zhang's expression changed slightly.
He knew this was not the time to force things.
Suppressing his displeasure, he nodded to Bai Junqing to show his understanding: "Alright, I respect your decision. Lao Yu, you go and discuss the cooperation with Miss Bai first. I'll be leaving now."
He left those words behind and turned to leave.
The group that had come with Chief Zhang exchanged glances, hesitated for a moment, and finally, two of them quickly chased after him, leaving only two behind.
When Chief Yu saw Old Zhang leave, he sighed. It was truly dramatic. Jin Yatou was actually Bai Ruofeng's granddaughter, and even Bai Junqing was Bai Ruofeng's biological son. How could Bai Ruofeng bear to abandon her children?
Was it for a man, or...?
