Playboy CEO Has a Baby-Chapter 542 The Hard Way

************

CHAPTER 542

Grandma Bai and Bai Ming stared wide eyed at grandpa Bai as he furiously tore apart the sheets of paper. He looked very angry because he was going red and his jaw was clenched tight.

But grandma Bai was more furious.

"MUYANG!!" She screamed out his name.

Shock, anger, confusion, frustration, disbelief. You name it. Grandma Bai and Bai Ming both shared the same feelings but for different reasons.

One, which is grandma Bai, was all channeled to the what reason grandpa Bai, her husband, was behaving this way. While the other, Bai was because she could see her only opportunity being taking a way from her just as it touched her fingertips.

"Muyang, you have done it this time. What is wrong with you, for heaven's sake?" Grandma Bai queried him while she abruptly stood up from the couch.

"For heaven's sake, I am protecting you from yourself and that spawn and her mother," Grandpa Bai said with one of his finger pointing toward Bai Ming.

"Stop it. Mind your words in front of the girl. And I don't need you to protect me. If you protection means me not helping my granddaughter, then your protection be damned." 𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖

Grandpa Bai went silent as he was quite shocked. But he was quick to mask it away and showed his firm resolve.

"Very well then," he nodded. "If you don't need my protection or heed my warnings then it's all good."

Bai Ming almost jumped in hot but she had to keep herself in check. Grandma Bai did not rejoice yet until he fully stops. And to her expectations and utter surprise, he did not.

"Since you want me to use the hard way then it's also fine. Bai Fenhua, from here on out you have no power over those shares you are willing to give out," Grandpa Bai spoke while looking straight into her eyes.

"What does that mean?" Grandma Bai asked as her eyes squinted at him.

"It is just as you said and you heard. You do not own those shares alone now. Without my full consent, you can't give anyone those shares now because I disagree to it."

"As for your lawyer, he just got the news and he would be calling you anytime from now," he added.

"Muyang! You can't do that. I never agreed to it. You did not have my signature," Grandma Bai countered.

"Oh I don't, dear. But I have you willingly given fingerprint."

"What? How? You took it in my sleep, didn't you? How dare you?"

"I don't need you to be asleep to get what I want. There will be no more shares. And you, leave and don't come back. If you do, I don't know what I might say or do to you."

Saying those words, grandpa Bai walked away from them toward the stairs. He did not care if he sounded and behaved to harsh or too cold. If he has to do it to save his wife from Bai Ming and her mother, then so be it.

Just as he left and as he said, get called and he sounded distressed. He told her about it and it was then they knew grandpa Bai was not joking at all. Her shares were practically his now.

Grandma Bai was too shocked that she could barely hold her standing anymore. Bai Ming quickly stood to support her.

"Grandma! Grandma," Bai Ming shook her lightly as she was worried. She called the maids to help her.

"I'm sorry child. Grandma could not help you this time," grandma Bai said.

Bai Ming just remained silent as she had nothing to say. She spent barely up to five minutes there before she left. The old man might look calm but he can be merciless when he means to.

**Flashback Ends**

As soon as Bai Ming finished telling her mother all that happened, she(Lin Ying) seethed in anger and started dropping words.

"Sigh. That old man is starting to get me annoyed. Who does he think he is? Just because he is the elder of the Bai family does not give him the right to decide for others and force them."

"Mum reduce your voice. Don't forget that the walls have ears," Bai Ming cautioned for the third time.

"What are we going to do now?" Lin Ying asked after she had managed to calm down.

"I honestly have no more of idea," Bai Ming replied whule massaging her temples. She was already having a headache from all the thinking, worrying and frustration that she has been feeling.

"I have a few more people with me now. I will just have to work harder and tell dad to push the other members of the board into agreeing with making me the next CEO of the company," Bai Ming concluded.

"Are you sure that will be enough to win them over before she starts acting?"

"Yes. Or we will just have to try and shut her down again," Bai answered and smiled evily.

Lin Ying was not a novice to not know what her daughter must be thinking. But she was skeptical about it.

"I don't not th Uh-hhh no we should use that approach again. Remember that that investigator Fang is still missing or hiding. It would be difficult to find someone as good as he is in the job," Lin Ying showed her disapproval and aired out another of her worries.

Bai Ming chuckled and slightly swirled the wine glass in her right hand. "It may be difficult but it is not impossible," she spoke.

Lin Ying slowly nodded. "But we will have to be careful. Mr Li has his eyes on her for her safety," she reminded her.

"We will just have to wait for the perfect timing to act. It is either her or the little boy."

Meanwhile, things were going well for Bai Renxiang and the others. They used the weekends to explore the city for Li Xiaojin's sake.

It was fun no doubt but it was also exhausting. Especially with Li Xiaojin being a huge ball of energy.

"Today was a long, fun and hectic day, wasn't it?" Bai Renxiang broke the silence hovering over the room.

She preparing to go to bed after a warm relaxing shower to help ease their nerves. She sat in her bathrobe in front of the dressing table that had a mirror.

Bai Renxiang busied herself with applying some moisturizers on her skin. While Li Fengjin sat quietly on the king size bed, going through his email.

"Yeah, it was. I expected Xiaojin's energy to run out but it lasted until the ride back home," Li Fengjin remarked and then chuckled.

Bai Renxiang stood up walked toward the walk-in-closet. "Hahaha. I bet he was too excited and that got his blood bumping."

"He was."

A few minutes past and Bai Renxiang came back to the room already clothes in a comfy and warm sleepwear. She climbed into the bed before pulling the duvet to cover.

Li Fengjin kept his phone aside and did the same. Only that he pulled her closer for a cuddle. Then he remotely turn the light off.

"I totally forgot about finding a school for him since a new school section would soon beginz" Bai Renxiang said and sighed.

"That is not a problem. He can attend the same school with Lee Ai. It is the best I know off and also has a kindergarten section."

"That's true. Theyepuod go to school together and come back together. Xiaojin would be happy considering the fact that he takes Lee Ai as he elder sibling."

"Hmm. Let's work harder to make him an older brother too," Li Fengjin pecked on her lips.

Bai Renxiang rolled her eyes at him. "Don't use that as an excuse to tire me out at night," she warned and Li Fengjin laughed.

"Jin."

"Hmm."

"You never told me what happened to those men who kidnapped me," Bai Renxiang reminded him.

The smile in Li Fengjin's face slowly dropped and his hand rubbing up and down her arm froze. He was hoping she would never ask. He wanted her to forget that horrible chapter.

But he guessed it was inevitable and too hard and terrify for her to forget. Plus, he did not want to reveal to her the mastermind behind those kidnappers.

He did not want to hurt her.

Sensing something off with his silence, Bai Renxiang turned on the bed. She placed her hands on his chest and rested her jaw on them. Now she was looking at him.

"I did not ask because I thought you were giving me time to adjust. But it has been too long now. I want to know."

"What happened is not something you should bother yourself with. Just know that I took care of them," was all he could say.

Bai Renxiang shook her head. "I don't care about what happened to them. What I want to know is who sent them."
