"This society is cruel to begin with. If it's not your own child, would you still treat them like a treasure?"
"I have never said that this is Family Liang's child. Now that this child is in my daughter's womb, I will forever acknowledge that this child belongs to the Bai family."
When Li Tanglin heard the two words "Bai Family", her face suddenly changed. She happened to be holding a cup of water in her hand. Her hand trembled, and the water in the cup suddenly spilled out, soaking a large part of her clothes. The glass fell to the floor with a loud thud. Glass shards flew everywhere.
Everyone was stunned. Liang Jiannan held his wife's hand and frowned. "What happened? You were so careless. Did you cut yourself? "
Liang Feifan's expression darkened. He lowered his hand from Bai Lu's shoulder and grabbed her wrist. His voice was low but firm. "Don't go out for now."
He looked at Chin Jin-hee. "Auntie, I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Don't go out for now."
"What's going on?" Liang Wu-ming stood up. He picked up his walking stick and walked to the door. "Why are there reporters outside?"
It was impossible for the reporters to know about the meeting between the two parties. Even if they knew, there was no need for them to wait here. After all, who was Family Liang? Some reports could not be reported as they wished. Hence, almost everyone understood that the reporters outside must have received other information.
Liang Wu-ming and Liang Feifan had gotten someone to suppress Bai Lu's CD. However, the master tapes were not in their hands. At this moment, the grandfather and grandson did not say anything, but they could not help but think of that possibility.
If that was the case …
Liang Feifan's brows furrowed even tighter. He pursed his thin lips. After a moment, he took out his phone and dialed Guan Chao's number.
He pulled Bai Lu towards the French window of the private room. As soon as the call connected, he ordered in a deep voice, "Go and investigate why the reporters are here. Yes, arrange for some people to come over and pick them up at the back entrance of the hotel."
As soon as he hung up, Bai Lu instinctively struggled.
Liang Feifan tightened his grip a little. He lowered his eyes and looked at the little woman who was standing at the side with her head lowered, refusing to look at him. His eyes, which had always been cold and indifferent, rippled.
He knew that his little woman was angry. Of course, he wasn't surprised that she would be angry. Anyone would be angry at the scene just now.
"What's the matter? I'll explain it to you later." His tall body moved slightly closer to her. He didn't care about the others in the room and just stuck to her wantonly. Their posture suddenly became very ambiguous. Bai Lu's face turned red, and she struggled harder. Liang Feifan held her hand tightly and bent down. "Listen to me. There are reporters outside now. Be good and listen to my instructions."
Even though he already knew that his son had Duo Wei as Bai Lu, seeing it with his own eyes was an entirely different matter.
Liang Jiannan felt a sense of exasperation. He didn't like Bai Lu to begin with. Now that he saw her actions and expressions in front of Liang Feifan, he felt that she was completely fearless and throwing a tantrum.
"Since the reporters are here, let's go out and see what's going on." Liang Jiannan's mind changed. He thought that it would be good to go out and face it. It was better to expose some ugly things now than in the past. After all, he didn't approve of this marriage from start to finish. "Aren't we guilty if we hide here? Let's see what the reporters want to ask. Why don't we just tell them the truth? Besides, it's not our Family Liang's first day facing reporters. Don't you know what to say and what not to say? "
Liang Wu-ming seemed to agree. "Jiannan's words make sense. Let's go out and take a look first. Hiding here will only make us look guilty."
Li Tanglin looked absent-minded and didn't express any opinion.
Liang Feifan, however, disagreed. "No. If there's anything, wait for Guan Chao to come and take Auntie and Bai Lu away first."
He vaguely sensed that the situation wasn't simple. If it wasn't simple, he naturally had to face it himself. If there really was a video, Bai Lu wouldn't know anything about it. He didn't want her to suffer too much.
"Is there a back door for you to use?" Liang Jiannan snorted coldly. He slammed the table and said loudly, "There's no back door for you to use. If you want to send someone out, you have to go through the front door. Those reporters are right outside. Ah-Fan, no matter how protective you are of this woman, there are some things I still have to say. If you want to enter our Family Liang's doors, do you think it's enough to just hide behind you? Throw a tantrum and throw a tantrum before you have to humbly coax her? Do you think you can become a good daughter-in-law of Family Liang just like that? "
"Father …"
"Shut up!"
Liang Jiannan angrily interrupted Liang Feifan. He stepped forward and aggressively attacked Bai Lu. "Miss Bai, forgive me for being blunt. Some of my words may not be pleasant to hear. I admit that I don't agree with this marriage, but there are some things I still have to say. If you want to enter our Family Liang's doors, you can't just do it like this. Do you understand? I can tell that my son is very protective of you. I can feel his feelings for you. As his father, perhaps I should respect his decision. But at the very least, let me see if you're different from the rest. Let me see if you have the right to enter our Family Liang's doors! "
Chin Jin-hee saw that her daughter's expression was getting uglier and uglier. She couldn't bear to part with her. Although she could rationally understand the actions of Family Liang's people, from a mother's point of view, how could she bear to let her daughter go through all this?
"Mr. Liang, we …"
"Mother!"
Chin Jin-hee was about to say something, but Bai Lu suddenly reached out and pressed down on Liang Feifan's hand that was grabbing her wrist. With a little force, she pulled her hand out of his grasp. She interrupted her mother and looked calmly at Liang Jiannan. After a moment, she spoke.
"I'll go out with you to meet the reporters."
"Bai Lu." The corners of Liang Feifan's mouth sank. His sharp, straight eyebrows were almost knitted together. His eyes were filled with displeasure. "Follow my arrangements …"
"I admire Miss Bai's courage."
Liang Jiannan looked at his son, who had an unpleasant expression on his face. His gaze was clearly provocative. "Ah Fan, don't say that I'm too tyrannical as a father and that I don't consider your wishes. It's not that I don't want to give you a chance. This door —" He reached out and pointed at the tightly shut door of the private room.
He had a double meaning. "You should understand that this door isn't just a door. I'm going to use this door to measure this woman that you're protecting. I want to see if she has the right to make me consider letting her marry into Family Liang."
Bai Lu pursed her lips. A trace of bitterness flashed across her heart. It seemed that everyone thought that she was looking forward to marrying into a wealthy family. In fact, she didn't care at all. The only reason she was standing here was because … she loved this man named Liang Feifan.
She took a deep breath and raised her head again. She looked straight at Liang Jiannan. Her gaze was as straight as a sword. It was tough and firm.
"I don't need a door to measure my determination. I'll say it again. You may seem like a high and mighty wealthy family, but I don't care. But today, I'm going out with you to meet the reporters. Not for anything else, but to prove that I'm also working hard. My efforts aren't for the sake of Family Liang. It's for Liang Feifan and the child in my stomach. "
— — It's for Liang Feifan and the child in my stomach. Liang Feifan's tall figure stood there in a daze. At this moment, a strange feeling surged through his heart.
It was hard to describe, but it was definitely the feeling that he wanted to experience the most.
In this sudden relationship, there were times when he wondered if he had always been the only one moving forward, while she had been passively led by him. Or perhaps, because she was pregnant, she had no choice but to be led by him.
He had always been a person who didn't need to figure out other people's thoughts. But when he faced Bai Lu, he admitted that there were times when he felt uneasy. But at this moment, all his uneasiness was soothed.
In this relationship, he wasn't the only one working hard. She was also getting closer to him.
Liang Feifan strode forward and clasped her soft little hand with his large palm. He smiled faintly and said, "I'll go out with you."
Indeed, he shouldn't have hidden her behind him. Actually, she had a very stubborn personality. If he smoothed out her edges just to prevent her from getting hurt, then how was she different from other women?
He was willing to shield her from the storm, but perhaps he should let her try to face it herself.
Before Liang Feifan left with Bai Lu, Guan Chao arrived just in time. He specially arranged for the reporters at the entrance to disperse first. Then, he let Guan Chao take Chin Jin-hee downstairs first. Of course, he also arranged for his parents and Chin Jin-hee to go downstairs together.
Liang Jiannan forced Bai Lu to face the reporters. In his heart, he already had his wishful thinking.
Since these reporters were here today, they must have received some news. As Liang Feifan's elders, they naturally couldn't show up. Otherwise, they would think that they had confirmed their marriage. As long as their Family Liang didn't publicly announce their marriage, then no matter how much the outside world talked about it, it would just be a "scandal."
With this thought, he happily followed Guan Chao out of the restaurant through the back door.
The driver who had originally sent them here happened to drive the car over. Liang Jiannan and Liang Wu-ming both got into the car. Chin Jin-hee naturally walked over to Guan Chao's car.
Li Tanglin watched her husband and father-in-law get into the car, but she didn't immediately get in.
When she passed by Chin Jin-hee, she deliberately stopped in her tracks.
From the beginning, Chin Jin-hee had already sensed that Li Tanglin was looking at her strangely. Her nerves seemed to be in a state of high tension. Her absent-mindedness made her feel as if she had something to say to her.
Chin Jin-hee thought about it and took the initiative to speak. "Mrs. Liang, do you have something to say to me?"
