CHAPTER 491: REVISED: CHAPTER 491 PRETENDING TO BE SICK

"Bai... Bai Jie, if you wanted to watch a movie, why didn’t you ask me?" Qian Xinxin suppressed his anger and pretended to be calm.

Qian Dongcheng, who could no longer remain calm, seeing that Zhang Dadan and Bai Jie seemed to have some unknown feelings, echoed:

"Exactly! Bai Jie, you should go watch a movie with Xinxin! We still have important matters to discuss with Divine Doctor Zhang!"

Bai Jie, who was initially planning to quickly leave this place to avoid the trouble, became unsettled after hearing Qian Dongcheng’s words.

What could Qian Dongcheng and Zhang Dadan possibly have to talk about? It couldn’t be that he has some serious illness, right? Surely it’s not hemorrhoids?

"Grandpa, what could you possibly have to discuss with Zhang Dadan? Just let him accompany me to the movies!" Bai Jie rarely acted coquettishly, directed at Grandpa Bai.

Although Bai Lexin intended to match the two, it was inappropriate to make it too obvious with Qian Dongcheng present.

After all, there was nothing substantial between his granddaughter and Zhang Dadan yet, how could he let go of Qian Xinxin so easily!

"Bai Jie, forget about the movie! If you’re bored, go back to the company! There’s a lot of work that needs your attention!" Bai Lexin conceded.

But Qian Dongcheng’s real intention in coming was not just to scold but to push his grandson closer to Bai Jie, making it impossible to let her leave so easily.

"Xiao Jie, if you’re going to the company, let Xinxin take you!" Qian Dongcheng said with feigned kindness.

Qian Xinxin, who was standing foolishly next to Bai Jie, saw his grandfather creating an opportunity for him and responded gentlemanly: "Bai Jie, let me take you! I have nothing going on anyway!"

"Nothing going on? Mr. Qian, you’re in your twenties, surely you don’t plan to freeload forever, do you?" Bai Jie seized on his words, rudely mocking him.

Qian Dongcheng, hearing these harsh words, was also very annoyed inside, but what could he do since his grandson was so incompetent?

Apart from being incapable of running the company, he wasn’t willing to handle it. If he had any decent skills in charming women, at least it wouldn’t bring embarrassment to his old man!

Since Bai Jie wasn’t giving him any face, he had no choice but to pressure Bai Lexin, and said, "Old Bai, let’s discuss their engagement!"

As expected, upon hearing him mention engagement, Bai Jie became tense, her eyes flickering with helplessness.

Bai Lexin, feeling awkward, forced a smile, sipped his tea, and fell silent.

Qian Dongcheng, seeing this scene, was overjoyed inside. This is the consequence of having no grandson, even if unhappy inside, one can only swallow the anger.

After a long silence, Bai Lexin deferred, "Old Qian, there’s still some time before the New Year. Isn’t it a bit early to discuss this now?"

"Early? It’s not early at all! With our kind of family, numerous guests will come. If we don’t prepare in advance, something might go wrong!" Qian Dongcheng smiled.

While speaking, he didn’t forget to glance at Zhang Dadan, indicating they weren’t in the same league and shouldn’t harbor any dreams.

If it was days before, even if dissatisfied with Zhang Dadan, he could only bury it inside, not daring to show it.

But now that Zhang Dadan had treated Sunx Jingong’s ailment, it meant a rift with the Mu Family. Would the old chief still cover for him?

Seeing Qian Dongcheng’s persistent pressure, Bai Lexin had no choice but to use the same tactic ’delay’, dragging things out as long as possible.

"Old Qian, no rush... no rush... after the winter solstice, there’s still time to arrange things," Bai Lexin said with a smile.

Even though Qian Xinxin was not good at reading expressions, he wasn’t completely stupid and could see that Bai Lexin was intentionally delaying.

"Grandpa Bai, since Bai Jie and I are getting married anyway, early preparation is better than late!" Qian Xinxin smiled.

Bai Jie, seeing these grandfather and grandson pressuring her grandpa one after another, became furious and angrily said, "Give up on this hope! I won’t marry you. I am now Zhang Da..."

Before she could finish, Bai Lexin, seeing her about to confess her feelings for Zhang Dadan in front of the Qian family, held his breath and suddenly collapsed.

Bai Jie, seeing this, immediately rushed to Bai Lexin’s side, crying anxiously, "Grandpa... Grandpa... What’s wrong with you... What’s wrong..."

No matter how desperately she cried, Bai Lexin remained motionless, as though he had really passed away.

The Qian family grandfather and grandson, seeing this, were also very scared, thinking their pressure had caused Bai Lexin’s distress.

"Old Bai... Old Bai... What’s wrong? Wake up..." Qian Dongcheng also rushed to Bai Lexin’s side, starting to pinch his philtrum.

After pinching for a long time without seeing any improvement, Qian Dongcheng sternly shouted, "Zhang Dadan... Zhang Dadan, aren’t you the Divine Doctor? What are you still standing there for?"

Bai Jie, wiping her tears hastily, shouted to the observing Zhang Dadan, "Dadan, what’s wrong with my grandpa... come here quickly!"

At the moment Bai Lexin fainted, Zhang Dadan unintentionally glanced at him, and with just that glance, he could tell Bai Lexin wasn’t really sick but pretending.

Since Bai Lexin was pretending to be sick, Zhang Dadan couldn’t expose him and had to keep watching indifferently.

However, his calm demeanor made the Qian family grandfather and grandson think they had trapped him, preparing to make use of the situation.

"Zhang Dadan, you claim to be a Divine Doctor, yet you don’t treat Grandpa Bai immediately. What are your intentions?" Qian Xinxin harshly accused.

Frightened, Bai Jie also got emotional and urgently called out to Zhang Dadan, "Dadan... Dadan, come here quickly..."

Zhang Dadan glanced at Bai Lexin, who was one person away, sighed, and reluctantly got up and walked over.

"Bai Jie, don’t worry, your grandpa will be fine!" Zhang Dadan reassured her gently, placing a hand on her delicate arm.

Qian Dongcheng, seeing him only comfort Bai Jie without immediately treating Bai Lexin, was even more displeased. This scoundrel indeed had something going on with Bai Jie!

"Zhang Dadan, Bai Jie, what are you doing at such a time? What are you doing?" Qian Dongcheng glared at Zhang Dadan, angrily scolding.

Hearing this, Bai Jie quickly got up, giving Zhang Dadan space, and sobbed, "Dadan, I’m fine! Check on grandpa quickly!"

"Uh?" Zhang Dadan looked helplessly at Bai Jie, then crouched in front of Bai Lexin, pretending to examine him.

In front of everyone’s eyes, Bai Lexin suddenly took a deep breath and ’woke up’ from his ’coma’.

Awakening, Bai Lexin pretended to be confused, "What... what’s wrong with me? Why are you all looking at me?"

Seeing his confused and slightly pained expression, everyone was convinced he was really ill!

Bai Jie, full of concern, rushed over, fell on his shoulder, and wept with joy, "You’re awake, thank goodness... thank goodness..."

While she was relieved, the Qian family grandfather and grandson were stunned, staring at Bai Jie.

Because she was actually pressing on Zhang Dadan, with his head buried in her chest cleavage.

Witnessing this suggestive scene, Qian Xinxin felt no trace of embarrassment or shame, only anger and more anger.
