CHAPTER 355
The next day came. Bai Renxiang got up very early, much earlier than usual. She could hardly get a don't of sleep the previous night. Her mind kept thinking about the company, the press conference and how she was going to find out or rather find proof that she was drugged and framed.
Charlie had given her the contact info of the best computer genius they had. He had even given her the full details of the man. With that, Bai Renxiang did not want to waste any more time.
She asked the man to get the information about her scandal from three years ago. It would be easier to start digging for clues from there. But she was having doubts if he would be able to find something that was wiped out a long time back.
So, today, Bai Renxiang got herself ready in a dark green checkered pantsuit and black coat. She paired it with comfortable black stiletto heels and a Channel black handbag, a pair of dazzling green earrings that Li Fengjin had gifted her.
Today, her hairstyle was different. It was packed into a high ponytail. Her face was accentuated including her light make-up. It brought out this bold, fearless, strong and independent aura in her.
The cure was very effective according to Mr Bao. It would serve its purpose well. This means that the conference will be held today.
"Mum, I am will be going to the company now," Bai Renxiang shouted from the dining room.
She had just finished having her breakfast and Jiang Meilin was helping Bai Xiaojin get ready.
"Mummy, are you not going to take me to school today?" Bai Xiaojin came running to her.
"Oh, baby. Mummy can't take you to school today. Something very important is happening at the company today. I need to hurry over. Please forgive me okay?" Bai Renxiang explained as she crouched down to straighten his uniform.
"Okay. Then, will daddy be taking me to school? He promised that he would do that every day. Has he called yet?"
"Uhm, no. He has not called yet. I don't think he will-"
Her phone started ringing. Looking at the caller, she sighed. Waving the phone at Bai Xiaojin she said, "Look who is calling."
The screen displayed 'My Heart' on it. Bai Xiaojin furrowed his brows.
"That should be daddy, right?" He asked.
"Of course, he is. Here, talk to him," she swiped the receive button and gave Bai Xiaojin the phone.
"Hello, daddy. Good morning."
"Good morning, son. How are you? How was your night?" Li Fengjin asked.
"It was fine. And yours?"
"Lonely. You and your mother were not here to cuddle with me. I felt sad," Li Fengjin said in a sulking voice.
"We are sorry. Very soon, all three of us will always sleep and cuddle together, okay? You just have to be patient," Bai Xiaojin coaxed Tim.
"Alright. I will be very patient. So, where is your mother?" Li Fengjin asked.
"She went to get her things for work. She said something very important is happenings t get company and she need to hurry there. So, she will kit be able to take me to school."
"Oh."
"Daddy, you are coming to pick me up so that we can go together, right?" Bai Xiaojin asked.
"Yes. I promised you, remember. I am on my way now. I was calling to check if you guys were ready."
"I am not yet ready. I have not eaten breakfast yet. But mummy has. She wanted to leave before you called just now," Bai Xiaojin good him.
"Can you pass the phone to her?"
"Yes. Just a minute... Mummy, daddy wants to talk to you," Bai Xiaojin passed the phone to Bai Renxiang.
"Good morning, love," Bai Renxiang greeted.
"Good morning, wifey."
"Hey. What's with that voice? Why do you sound mad at me?" She asked.
"Thank God you can tell. I was told that you were about to leave before I called," Li fengjin said.
"Yeah. So, can you take Xiaojin to school? He really wants you to since I can't."
"I will. But we had a deal that I would take you to work today."
"I know. I am so sorry. But I have to go to the company now. I am having the press conference today. I want to get to the company before reporters start flooding into the collab," she said.
"Oh, it is today?"
"Yes. It might be later. But I still have things I want to do before the conference starts. You know to keep me."
"Yeah, I know. (Sigh) Alright then. Call me when you get to your office safely," he agreed.
"Okay. Don't worry. We still have plenty of days ahead of us. You can take me to work for as many days as you want. I will not argue over it. I promise."
"You better keep that promise or else I will not go easy on you when I want to punish you for it," he warned her.
"I won't. Bye now."
"Bye."
Placing her phone inside her bag, she pecked Bai Xiaojin on the cheek.
"Okay, my love. Mommy is going to go now. Behave well in school as always," she said.
"Okay," he nodded.
"Good boy. Bye now. Mum, I am going."
"Okay, honey. Fighting," Jiang Meilin said.
"Mummy, good luck with your press conference."
"Thank you both. See ya later."
?????
On getting to the company, Bai Renxiang met Xia Xinyi waiting for her outside. They exchanged their greetings and walked into the building.
Bai Renxiang could see that everyone was busy with a few employees running here bad there.
"They are already preparing the hall for the press conference," Xia Xinyi explained.
"Okay. What about the lawyers? We're they able to come to an agreeable term with the purchasers who want us sued?" She asked.
"Yes. It was also easy to convince them, especially with the news that the cream for the burns is being produced. They are willing to buy them at the price we fixed."
