Woman 30: I regained my life after divorce

Bai Zhenlin waved to the woman sitting next to him.

The woman immediately stood up and came to Bai Zhenlin.

"This is Xinyao's father, did you know?" Bai Zhenlin said to Zhou Honghai.

The woman smiled faintly, "I didn't know at first, but I know now."

"Well, that's good. Just don't make any mistakes at the wedding the day after tomorrow. From now on, you just play the role of a good daughter."

"Yes, Mr. Bai."

"Also, you've met Wan Ning just now, right?" Bai Zhenlin asked immediately.

"I've seen it before"

Bai Zhenlin sighed and said, "Just know that she is your daughter."

Bai Zhenlin originally planned to let this substitute woman walk the red carpet with Liu Wanning, so as to better demonstrate the Bai family's importance to Zhou Xinyao.

Judging from Liu Wanning’s performance now, this plan is likely to fail.

In order not to anger Liu Wanning and prevent her young heart from being hurt again, Bai Zhenlin decided to cancel this process.

"Then you go down first~" Bai Zhenlin waved at the woman.

After all, this woman here will make many people uncomfortable. She is just a substitute, there is no need to give her too much respect.

This is what Bai Zhenlin thought.

The woman hesitated and looked towards Jia Fei.

Jia Fei thought quickly again, "Dad, my brother probably hasn't been alone with her yet, right? How about asking my brother to come down?"

Bai Zhenlin thought about it and felt that it made sense. After all, on the wedding day, they had to put on a show in front of many people. If they didn't coordinate well, it would backfire.

"Wan Ning is still upstairs, why don't we just forget about it today~" Bai Zhenlin said.

"Otherwise, I'll go up and look after Wan Ning so as not to delay important matters," Zhou Honghai said proactively.

"Hong Hai, how can this be possible? This is the first time I drink with you, and we haven't had enough fun yet!"

Bai Zhenlin held Zhou Honghai's hand, looking reluctant to let go.

Zhou Honghai smiled and replied: "It's important, I'd better go upstairs."

Zhou Honghai gently pulled Bai Zhenlin's hand away and walked upstairs.

"Honghai, I owe you another favor. I will definitely repay you double in the future!" Bai Zhenlin shouted at Zhou Honghai.

Zhou Honghai turned around and replied with a smile: "You're welcome. This is what I should do."

Liu Wanning and Bai Yunchuan were playing video games in the bedroom, and bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time.

Bai Yunchuan's skill in coaxing children is quite good. At least it made Liu Wanning forget her sadness for a short time.

There was just food on the table, but the little guy didn't touch it at all.

Zhou Honghai gently opened the door and walked in.

Liu Wanning glanced at Zhou Honghai and continued to operate the VR controller.

"Wan Ning, hurry up, I'm going to catch you~"

Bai Yunchuan also cooperated with Liu Wanning, keeping her in the most tense and exciting state at all times.

"Ah~ I run, I run~"

Liu Wanning screamed and laughed happily.

"Wan Ning, have you had enough fun? Go and ask your father to have dinner."

Zhou Honghai's voice was stern.

"Finished this game"

Liu Wanning was playing while doing things perfunctorily.

It seems like all kids say the same thing.

"Be obedient, stop playing, and let your father go downstairs to eat," Zhou Honghai urged again.

"Dad, it's okay, I'm not hungry yet," Bai Yunchuan replied with a smile.

"Yunchuan, your father and others want to talk to you about something, you'd better go down," Zhou Honghai said bluntly.

Bai Yunchuan was stunned for a moment and looked at Liu Wanning.

"Let them wait. I'll finish this round with Wan Ning first."

"Wan Ning~", Zhou Honghai shouted sternly.

"Oh, I don't want to play anymore~"

Liu Wanning has always been smart and considerate. When she heard that there was something to discuss with Bai Yunchuan, she put down the game controller without hesitation.

"Go on, Wan Ning, don't listen to them," Bai Yunchuan said with a smile.

"Dad, you better go down. Just remember to come back early."

Seeing Liu Wanning being so sensible, Bai Yunchuan felt extremely relieved.

"Okay Wan Ning, I will definitely go early and come back early. You eat first, and I will be back after dinner."

"Well, okay~"

Liu Wanning ran to the table and ate with relish.

"Is it cold? Can I ask Aunt Wang to heat it up for you?"

"No need, Yunchuan, you go down first, I'm here to accompany Wan Ning," said Zhou Honghai.

"Okay, I'll try to come back soon~"

Bai Yunchuan made a face at Liu Wanning and walked quickly downstairs.

Downstairs, Qu Lei and Bai Zhenlin were chatting casually. It was obvious that Qu Lei was very interested, but Bai Zhenlin didn't seem to want to pay attention to him.

There was even less to talk about between Jia Fei and Qu Yiman; they were both looking down at their phones.

Han Xiaonan kept forcing a smile, like a flattering machine.

The substitute woman sat uncomfortably nearby. For her, every day was like a year.

Hearing footsteps coming from upstairs, Bai Zhenlin patted the seat next to him and said, "Come and sit here."

The nanny next to him quickly sorted out the tableware used by Zhou Honghai, prepared a new set and brought it up.

Bai Yunchuan nodded at Bai Zhenlin and sat upright beside him.

"How is the child?" Bai Zhenlin asked worriedly.

"It's much better for now, but since we can't find Xinyao, she will definitely still be unhappy," Bai Yunchuan sighed.

"I have already increased the number of staff several times, and I am planning to expand the search to other cities and even other provinces. Don't worry, as long as Xinyao is not found, we will continue to look for her."

"Thank you, Dad~", Bai Yunchuan said in a low voice.

Bai Zhenlin patted Bai Yunchuan's shoulder gently, his eyes full of heartache.

"Xiaochuan, you have lost weight and looked haggard these days. I didn't notice it just now, but you even have white hair!" Bai Zhenlin shouted in surprise.

Bai Yunchuan casually fiddled with his temples and said with a wry smile, "Isn't it normal to have white hair at over 30 years old?"

A few months ago, Bai Yunchuan didn't have a single gray hair. His jet-black and shiny hair was good enough for him to be a hair model.

But in just these few days, a patch of crystal clear white hair secretly appeared on his temples, and he looked so haggard that he seemed like a completely different person.

"Come, eat something first. Dad knows you must not have eaten well or slept well these past few days."

Bai Zhenlin looked at Bai Yunchuan with loving eyes, just like when they were little.

"Thank you dad~"

Bai Yunchuan took the chopsticks but was slow to pick up any food.

To him, no matter what he eats, it always feels the same: tasteless and bland.

After staring at the table for a long time, Bai Yunchuan finally put the chopsticks on the table.

"Dad, just tell me what's going on. I want to go upstairs early to accompany Wan Ning."

Bai Zhenlin hesitated for a while and nodded.
