CHAPTER 102: CHAPTER 96: CURB YOUR CURIOSITY

Yin Group Representative—Yin Tianshen!

Bai Yiran clearly remembered that the representative of Yin Group was previously Yin Hao, how did it change to Yin Tianshen!

Could this Yin Tianshen be the man who bullied her?

Impossible! How could the world be so small...

But intuition told Bai Yiran they were the same person... Although she hadn’t probed much into Yin Tianshen’s true identity, from the scene at MOONLIGHT last time, it seemed that Leng Yichen knew this Yin Tianshen.

Anyone Leng Yichen knew, how could their identity be simple?

A trace of panic hit Bai Yiran’s heart, and she tried hard to suppress the fear in her heart, telling herself that this was Leng Yichen’s domain, and even if it was indeed that person, he wouldn’t dare act recklessly!

Indeed, reality was such.

However, once a certain fear takes root in the heart, it’s hard to eradicate.

And Yin Tianshen was just that indelible fear in Bai Yiran’s heart.

Even so, Bai Yiran still held onto a glimmer of hope; maybe it was just a coincidence of name?

But reality mercilessly slapped her, the man in an immaculate suit approaching with signature granny-gray hair, who else could it be but Yin Tianshen?

Yin Tianshen spotted Bai Yiran from afar, this woman, no matter where, always so dazzling, impossible to ignore.

Bai Yiran’s hand holding the list trembled, Li Fei noticed Bai Yiran’s anomaly, "What’s the matter with you?"

Li Fei’s inquiry received no response from Bai Yiran; she looked in the direction of Bai Yiran’s gaze and saw a handsome yet devilish man standing not far off, staring in their direction.

"That is Young Master Yin, Yin Tianshen, of the Yin Group."

Li Fei’s words pierced Bai Yiran’s ears, shattering her last hope.

Yin Tianshen could see Bai Yiran’s fear, he relished in her fright, making him more interested, like a well-fed leopard spotting a tasty morsel, unable to resist teasing until hungry enough to devour!

Almost instinctively, Bai Yiran was eager to escape Yin Tianshen’s gaze; she disliked this man intensely!

Yet, in her haste, Bai Yiran bumped into a woman she recognized as Mrs. Li, who had just mentioned her bad temper.

The wine in Mrs. Li’s hand spilled all over her from Bai Yiran’s impact, "What is wrong with you? Can’t you see? Just charging straight into me?"

Firstly, Mrs. Li was displeased with Bai Yiran’s identity, and secondly, she knew Bai Yiran was just an employee at Huamei!

"I’m sorry!"

"Is sorry enough?" Mrs. Li now clearly vented her anger towards her stepdaughter onto Bai Yiran.

"Then what do you want me to do? If it’s really necessary, I can compensate for your clothes?"

"That’s easy for you to say! Is this just about clothes? It’s about losing face because of you!"

Perhaps Mrs. Li didn’t realize that the person truly causing her embarrassment was herself.

Bai Yiran didn’t want to get involved in a lengthy argument; many people were now noticing the scene, and she didn’t want any trouble today, but Mrs. Li seemed to hold significant animosity towards her, unwilling to let it go.

Mrs. Li’s zealous actions drew the attention of Qi Hui and Amy, who helped to mediate, though they knew Mrs. Li’s anger was not easily quelled.

However, Leng Yichen was about to arrive, and things couldn’t be allowed to escalate further.

"Bai Yiran! You’re fired!" Qi Hui, acting decisively, intended to terminate Bai Yiran on the spot, "Mrs. Li, are you satisfied with this solution?"

A victorious smile crept onto Mrs. Li’s lips, and she winking towards Gu Manli beside her.

Bai Yiran caught it, anger flaring up, "You all set this up, didn’t you?"

Mrs. Li, slightly embarrassed yet unfaltering, retorted, "What setup! I don’t know what you’re talking about!"

"Manager Qi, you can’t fire me! They intentionally set me up!"

Bai Yiran shouted at Qi Hui, who slightly frowned; she didn’t really want to fire Bai Yiran, having recognized her competence, but today’s guests were all people of significant standing, and offending any of them wasn’t something Qi Hui could afford.

"I say, are you still being difficult!" Mrs. Li grabbed a wine glass, "You spilled wine all over me, and now you think you have the right!"

Saying this, Mrs. Li raised her hand, intending to douse Bai Yiran with wine, presuming Bai Yiran wouldn’t dare retaliate.

Who knew, just as Mrs. Li lifted her hand, it was forcefully grabbed by another large hand.

Muffled in pain, Mrs. Li looked up, first seeing a head of granny-gray hair, followed by the devilish face of Yin Tianshen.

"I say, old woman, that’s enough!" Yin Tianshen’s voice lazily carried with a playful tone, yet it sent chills down one’s spine.

Mrs. Li recognized this boy in front of her, nearly her son’s age, often seen on TV in recent drug scandal news—none other than the notorious scion of Yin Group, Yin Tianshen!

Mrs. Li’s husband, seeing his wife held by Yin Tianshen, hurried over, as did Bai Hongguang.

"Young Master Yin, what could my wife have done to offend you?" An elderly man, despite his age, had to bow to the ultimate power before the boy in front of him.

Yin Tianshen looked at the man, eyes bearing a lazy gleam, but with a chilling depth.

What was her offense? Would Yin Tianshen say that your wife bullied the woman I’ve been bullying, so I’m upset?

Of course, Yin Tianshen couldn’t say that.

"Keep your wife in check, she’s too noisy!"

With that, Yin Tianshen released his grip, causing Mrs. Li’s hand to once again spill the wine onto herself due to inertia. Her face showed shame and anger, yet she dared not vent on Yin Tianshen, instead reflecting all her fury into her gaze at Bai Yiran.

Yin Tianshen’s intervention in her favor was unexpected to Bai Yiran, and she was somewhat stunned.

Naturally, Bai Hongguang wouldn’t miss the opportunity to connect with Yin Tianshen, "Young Master Yin, hello! I am Bai Hongguang, of the Bai Family..."

Yin Tianshen ignored the sycophantic Bai Hongguang entirely, his eyes fixated solely on Bai Yiran.

Noticed by Bai Hongguang, he immediately added with a smile, "I’m Bai Hongguang, Bai Yiran’s father!"

Yin Tianshen finally reacted, turning to Bai Hongguang, "You’re her father?"

"Yes, yes!"

Previously, Bai Hongguang hated Bai Yiran to the core, yet now he felt she might just be his savior!

Bai Qianyu stood nearby, clenching her fists, glaring at Bai Yiran; why is Bai Yiran always so lucky?

"Is he your dad?" Yin Tianshen asked Bai Yiran.

Bai Yiran glanced at Bai Hongguang, her words laced with sarcasm, "I wish he wasn’t."

Bai Yiran’s words made Bai Hongguang’s face stiffen, turning ugly.

Yet Yin Tianshen laughed, "Bai Yiran, you make me more and more curious!"

"Better keep your curiosity to yourself!"

A cold voice sounded from behind, and the star of this gathering finally made an appearance.

Leng Yichen, clad in a high-end, tailored sleek suit, his hair neatly styled, eyes profound and charismatic, exuding every bit of a mature man’s allure and handsomeness, came walking over with his staff following.

Bai Qianyu saw Leng Yichen for the first time, and at that moment, her mind was in chaos.

She never imagined that Leng Yichen was such a handsome and charming man, unlike Luo Chen whom he surpassed even in comparison to a fingernail.

An unprecedented regret washed over Bai Qianyu; if she had listened to her mother back then, taking such a golden opportunity to approach Leng Yichen, perhaps everything would be different now!

No matter! Bai Qianyu! You still have a chance!

Bai Qianyu’s determination burned fiercely, her eagerness towards Leng Yichen intensifying.

Leng Yichen walked past them without stopping, heading straight for the stage. Bai Yiran watched him, lips pressed, jaw tight.

She knew, Leng Yichen was angry again.

Leng Yichen ascended the platform, his excellence made him the focal admiration of the whole room; he approached the microphone elegantly, his voice captivating yet deep, "First and foremost, I want to say..."
