Chapter 2479: Chapter 2479: I Came Especially to Repay a Favor
But he didn’t expect that Yu Xiuzhun didn’t have someone come to pick up the medicine, but rather came in person.
Now he’s quite curious about the purpose of his return.
"Master, Mr. Yu is here." Diwu Zexuan’s assistant brought Yu Xiuzhun to the door, bowed respectfully, and then withdrew.
Diwu Zexuan turned around slowly at the sound, looking at Yu Xiuzhun standing at the door, and smirked, "Should I call you Mr. Yu now, or Mr. Bai?"
"Yu Xiuzhun is already dead, and the death certificate was handled by Dan Hanjie. Are you looking to cause him trouble?" Bai Zheng stepped in leisurely, seeming calm in response to Diwu Zexuan’s teasing.
He walked up, pulled out a chair in front of Diwu Zexuan’s desk, and sat down.
His long legs crossed, he looked up at Diwu Zexuan.
With a relaxed posture, it didn’t seem like he was here to ask for medicine, but rather visiting an old friend.
"I don’t remember when we got this close." Diwu Zexuan’s eyes narrowed, looking at Bai Zheng who sat openly in front of him, speaking indifferently.
"Since you can like my daughter, why care about accepting one more me?" Bai Zheng’s lips moved slightly, not the least bit embarrassed.
He spoke carelessly, but his gaze was fixed on Diwu Zexuan, catching a trace of loneliness on his face, which quickly turned into anger.
"You are you and Meimei is Meimei. Your daughter isn’t as ungrateful as you, treating a benefactor as an enemy, and even finding time to mock me. Should I thank you for that?"
"No need to be polite. Of course I remember you’re my benefactor. I’m here today specifically to repay that debt." Bai Zheng was being mysterious, placing his hands on his knees as he stood up from the chair, standing face-to-face with Diwu Zexuan.
"I’ve met Youyou, a very special child, though she probably doesn’t like you, right?"
"What do you want to say? How much do you know about me and Youyou? Are you trying to dictate to me now?" At the mention of his darling little treasure, Diwu Zexuan’s expression instantly became tense.
Youyou was the pain in his heart. He watched his daughter grow from a swaddled infant into the quirky little girl she is now... and also watched Youyou drift further away from him, treating him, her father, even worse than a stranger.
She would call the caretaker grandpa, but would always add "bad guy" in front of him, her father.
Every time he approached, Youyou would impatiently shoo him away, wishing to see him as little as possible.
Then look at Yu Xiuzhun, who disappeared for three years, yet Meimei never stopped missing her father. Even before he regained consciousness, Meimei was already hoping that her father would one day come to fetch her, waiting obediently.
Comparison can be infuriating; as Yu Xiuzhun brought up Youyou again in front of him, the sensitive chord in Diwu Zexuan’s heart quickly made him lose his cool.
"Don’t you want to know why Youyou doesn’t like you?" Bai Zheng raised an eyebrow, speaking temptingly.
Diwu Zexuan wasn’t that easily fooled, "I don’t know, do you? As far as I know, you’ve only met Youyou once."
Claiming to be an expert after just one meeting, he’d only believe that if pigs could fly!
"I’ve indeed only met Youyou once, but just that one time, I spent the whole day with her. Youyou loves amusement parks. Have you ever taken her to one?"
"..."
"No, to be specific, whatever kids generally like, Youyou likes too."
