Ever since he was young, everyone in the family liked to call him Ah Fan, but only his mother liked to call him Extraordinary.
He thought that it was just a habit, but now he realized that it wasn't …
It turned out that the words' extraordinary 'and' extraordinary 'actually had another meaning.
As it turned out, his existence was only because his mother wanted to take revenge on another man …
And that man was Bai Yi … Bai Lu's father …
…
Bai Lu threw the orange peel into the bin and stuffed a piece into her mouth. Her fair fingers slid across her laptop as she read the latest news. Her beautiful brows furrowed.
On the screen was the latest financial news. The Liang Clan had a lot of problems recently, so naturally, they were often in the headlines. But what was up with today's headlines?
— Chu Weiye, the person in charge of Far East, expressed interest in collaborating with the Liang Clan.
…
Bai Lu was confused. Chu Weiye was interested in collaborating with the Liang Clan?
How was that possible?
Although she had been recuperating at home and rarely went to the office, she had been in EC for so many years. How could she not know that Far East and the Liang Clan had always been at odds?
For many projects, as long as Far East was involved, the Liang Clan would also be involved. But both sides would fight to the death. Chu Weiye would never want to help Liang Feifan. Now that the Liang Clan was in such a situation, shouldn't he open a bottle of wine to celebrate?
Was the sky going to rain red?
She slammed the laptop shut. After thinking about it, she still felt that something was wrong. She picked up her phone to call Qin Ziwen, but the screen lit up. It was already 11: 30.
It was already so late?
Ziwen should be asleep, but why wasn't Liang Feifan back yet?
A few hours ago, he said that he was going to look for Buck after dinner and that he would be back soon. When he left, it wasn't even 9 o 'clock. It was already 11: 30. Why wasn't he back yet?
Bai Lu's finger gently slid across the phone screen. There were several times when he wanted to play with Liang Feifan's phone, but on second thought, he felt that he was making a fuss over nothing.
He was going to see Buck. Maybe they had a lot to talk about … Liang Feifan was not someone who did not know her limits. He had only been gone for a few hours. What was the point of her calling him?
After putting the phone away, Bai Lu stood up and stretched. She grabbed a change of clothes from the walk-in closet and walked into the bathroom to take a quick shower. After that, she went downstairs and heated a glass of milk for herself. After drinking it, she lay on the bed.
It was almost midnight, and Liang Feifan was still not back. She resisted the urge to call him, but she was really sleepy, so she fell asleep in a daze.
When she woke up, it was already the next morning. She knew that the results of the design competition would be out today. Although she already knew her results, she still needed to go through the motions.
When she turned around, she did not find any traces of someone sleeping next to her.
Bai Lu furrowed her brows. Liang Feifan did not come back last night? She sat up and suddenly realized that something was wrong. Actually, ever since the two of them got together, Liang Feifan had never stayed out all night. Even if something really happened, he would call to tell her. She hurriedly got out of bed and ran to the desk. She picked up her phone and looked at it. There were no calls or texts.
After thinking about it, she was still worried. She finally dialed Liang Feifan's number, but his phone was turned off.
Bai Lu was even more confused. However, on second thought, she felt that it could be that the Liang Clan was busy. Was he in a meeting? Or his phone was out of battery …
She found a lot of excuses for herself. She kept telling herself not to worry too much. Liang Feifan was not a child. However, he did not come back last night. He must have been delayed by something in his endless transmigration.
She reached out and touched her belly. It was more than three months pregnant, but there was still nothing wrong. Bai Lu lowered her eyes and looked at her fingertips. She decided to go out first today.
She took a loose-fitting suit and changed into it after washing up. When she went downstairs, the maid had already prepared breakfast. She ate a little. Halfway through, she received a call. It was from the organizers of the design competition. They probably told her that the competition would be held at the Century Hotel at 10 a.m. and asked her to attend.
Bai Lu still called Liang Feifan, but his phone was still turned off. She felt vaguely uneasy, but she kept comforting herself. She sighed, finished her breakfast, and went out …
The Century Hotel was a more orthodox five-star hotel in A City. It was called orthodox because there were many events in A City. Banquets and the like were mostly held here.
The results of this year's design competition were already out. The few people who came today were all winners.
After Bai Lu got out of the car, she saw a lot of reporters coming in and out of the hotel. She subconsciously clenched her hands. Facing the reporters, she felt a little timid from the bottom of her heart.
She didn't know if she was overthinking it, but she felt very uneasy every time she saw the reporters. She originally thought that Liang Feifan would accompany her today, but she couldn't get in touch with him. Now that she was standing here alone, even her joy of receiving the award was gone.
Before entering the hotel, she was still a little unwilling to give up. She called Liang Feifan again, but the result was the same.
Bai Lu bit her lip and stomped her feet in annoyance. She threw her phone into her handbag and was about to leave when there was a commotion not far behind her. There were people's voices.
"President Chu, why are you at the Century Hotel today? Did someone from Far East also win an award? "
Bai Lu's heart skipped a beat. She instinctively turned around and saw the man who had just gotten out of the car not far away.
Chu Weiye was dressed more formally today. A well-tailored suit wrapped around his perfect figure. His usually unruly black hair was neatly combed. He looked less unruly and more mature.
"Who said that someone from the Century Hotel must win an award? They're not the only ones here to give out awards, right? " His low voice was gentle. "I'm just here to talk about a business deal. Don't block me. Business is more important."
The group of people chuckled and were about to disperse when someone with sharp eyes quickly spotted Bai Lu at the hotel entrance.
Previously, Liang Feifan and Chu Weiye had both admitted their feelings for her in front of the reporters. At the time, Chu Weiye had boldly confessed that he would never give up on Bai Lu no matter what. Although this matter was left unsettled, at this moment, the two of them had coincidentally bumped into each other again. How could these gossipy paparazzi let this go?
Someone immediately stepped forward and surrounded Bai Lu.
"Miss Bai, it's Miss Bai Lu. Are you here today because you've achieved good results in the design competition you participated in last time?"
"… So you're saying that President Chu happened to appear here to cheer you on?"
"Or did the two of you already make an appointment? Has President Chu already won the beauty's heart? "
…
Not many people knew about the registration of Bai Lu and Liang Feifan, so these reporters' unrestrained words made Bai Lu very uncomfortable. However, before she could refute them, even harsher and sharper words hit her in the face.
"… Recently, the Liang Clan and the Ye Clan have completely fallen out. I heard that the Liang Clan has been making a lot of moves. There are also rumors that the Liang Clan may be ruined by Liang Feifan."
…
"Miss Bai Lu, do you already know that the Liang Clan is about to fall, so you're turning around and throwing yourself into Mr. Chu Weiye's arms now?"
…
Bai Lu's face suddenly turned pale. Her burning eyes were tainted with pure anger. She stared unblinkingly at the reporter who had just spoken. She had to restrain herself to prevent herself from pouncing forward and slapping that person.
"You're talking nonsense!"
She pursed her lips. Her face was deathly pale, but her eyes were filled with indignation. In front of the sound of the shutters and the flashes of the cameras, she had long abandoned her timidity. Her following words were all to protect Liang Feifan. "You're a reporter, so how can you be so unethical? Do you know what you're saying? Who said that the Liang Clan is about to go bankrupt? Let me tell you, the Liang Clan will never go bankrupt. Liang Feifan is much more powerful than you can imagine! Also, I will never leave Liang Feifan. Don't put your own thoughts on others and then shoot your mouth off! It's very annoying! "
…
After shouting in one breath, she walked into the hotel without looking back.
She left a group of reporters behind her. None of them were embarrassed by her words. These gossipy dogs had no professional integrity at all. Their goal was to catch the news. Now, they were just laughing it off …
When Bai Lu walked into the elevator, the fire in her chest had yet to be completely extinguished.
However, she was worried about the baby in her belly, so she tried her best to control her anger. Besides, those paparazzi loved to dig into other people's privacy. They didn't care if other people could handle it or not … Forget it. Why should she lower herself to their level?
She pressed the close button and was just about to take out her phone to call Liang Feifan when a pair of hands suddenly reached in. Feeling an external force, the elevator doors slowly opened again. Bai Lu looked up and saw Chu Weiye and his assistant standing at the door.
Obviously, the person who had reached out to open the elevator doors was Chu Weiye's assistant.
"You go up first. I'll be there in a bit."
"Yes."
Chu Weiye walked in. Bai Lu frowned and stood to the side.
"You were very brave just now." He was the first to speak. He reached out and casually adjusted his tie. Through the elevator's reflection, he looked at Bai Lu behind him.
Since the last time he had so brazenly entered Liang Feifan's villa, the two of them hadn't seen each other for a few days. Bai Lu actually didn't want to talk to him. Instead, she took two steps back in the corner and chose to remain silent.
Chu Weiye saw that she lowered her eyes and didn't say anything. He pursed his lips and said, "What's wrong? You can't wait to tell the whole world that you're loyal to Liang Feifan, so now you don't even want to talk to me? "
