Chapter 1364: Chapter 1364: Reveal Bai Man’s Location
Xu Chaomu looked out the window, and could just make out Bai Xuan’s profile as she quietly read her book.
She couldn’t bring herself to hate Bai Xuan.
Sotis she wished Bai Xuan were like Bai Man, having done many unforgivable things to her, so she could at least tell herself that there was no need to sympathize with him, no need to care for him. But he hadn’t.
From their first eting, Bai Xuan had left a very bland impression on her; she had never imagined that they shared an indestructible blood relation.
As the door opened, Bai Xuan, sitting on the sofa, looked up with surprise flashing in his eyes.
He clearly hadn’t expected Xu Chaomu’s visit; several months had gone by since her last one.
Xu Chaomu moved her lips, but that one word refused to co out.
After a long while, she steadied her mind and called out, “Dad.”
A tempest churned inside Bai Xuan’s heart, and even his fingers trembled uncontrollably. He set down his book, silently watching Xu Chaomu, his gaze murky and profound.
Xu Chaomu was his daughter; this was an undeniable fact.
Xu Chaomu had once thought she’d never again have the chance to call soone “Dad,” but to her surprise… after many years, she had found her biological father.
After a long while, Bai Xuan simply nodded: “You ca…”
Xu Chaomu changed shoes and approached him. She poured a cup of tea and handed it to Bai Xuan.
“Thank you.” Bai Xuan appeared sowhat constrained.
After many years in the business world, he had never been constrained with anyone – usually, it was others who were wary of him. Yet facing this daughter, he felt indescribable emotions.
“Shen Chi said… he will leave this old house to you,” Xu Chaomu slowly said. “If you wish to go out, just let Xiaoze at the door know.”
Bai Xuan didn’t say anything, just took a sip of tea.
“Jiang Zhilan is unforgivable, sorry, neither Shen Chi nor I can let her out,” Xu Chaomu said.
She had already made significant compromises, but when it ca to Jiang Zhilan and Bai Man, she couldn’t budge.
As Shen Chi had told her, a person who threatened her life need not be shown rcy.
Being rciful to them would be cruelty to herself; her life wasn’t just her own anymore, she had two children. If not for Xiao Mo, she and Xiaobao would now be worlds apart, and she would not be with Shen Chi.
The thought still frightened her.
Especially when Xiao Mo told her how Bai Man’s assistant nearly strangled the little guy in the car…
“I know they have hurt you before, and I don’t expect your forgiveness, she’s getting her just deserts now,” Bai Xuan stated calmly.
“Shen Chi always says I’m too kind, he won’t let hurt myself for my kindness anymore,” Xu Chaomu remarked lightly.
“Achi is right… take good care of yourself. But I believe Achi can make you happy,” Bai Xuan said. “I knew you were kind-hearted from the first ti I saw you, sorry, I didn’t know you were my daughter all these years.”
“I don’t bla you.”
“It’s just that I have a favor to ask…” Bai Xuan hesitated.
“To let Bai Man go, to stop pursuing her, right?” Xu Chaomu looked at him.
Bai Xuan nodded heavily, his tone almost pleading: “Would that be alright?”
“But can you guarantee she won’t pose any threat to and my children in the future?” Xu Chaomu countered, her gaze fixed on Bai Xuan’s eyes.
True to form, the light faded from Bai Xuan’s eyes. He fell silent, yes, he couldn’t make that guarantee.
In the past, he didn’t even know about the things Bai Man had done; in his eyes, his daughter Bai Man had always been a well-behaved girl…
He had had nurous phone calls with Bai Man since then; Bai Man had said she had been foolish before, and wouldn’t do the sa things again… But how could the future be assured?
Xu Chaomu is also his daughter, although there isn’t much affection between them, she is the child of him and the woman he once loved most.
“On this matter, Shen Chi and I share the sa stance, if you tell us Bai Man’s whereabouts, we can go easy on you,” Xu Chaomu said in a subdued tone, yet her attitude was firm.
Bai Xuan remained silent, reluctant to speak.
Xu Chaomu wasn’t in a hurry; she simply waited for Bai Xuan to speak.
“Give a little more ti…” It wasn’t until much later that Bai Xuan slowly said.
Xu Chaomu agreed, nodding her head.
She knew that for Bai Xuan, this was a difficult choice to make. After all, Bai Man was his biological daughter who had lived with him for many years; there were emotions involved…
She had also learned from Shen Chi that Bai Xuan really doted on Bai Man, and although he might not be fond of Jiang Zhilan, he really liked this daughter.
Ever since she was young, whatever Bai Man wanted, he would do his best to fulfill.
When she learned about this, Xu Chaomu felt envious; she too had wished for a father who would dote on her like a little princess…
It was just that, she never t such a father in her lifeti, but fortunately, she t such a person in Shen Chi.
Shen Chi doted on her, loved her, far beyond treating her as just a little princess.
At this thought, a faint smile appeared on the corners of Xu Chaomu’s lips.
Xu Chaomu sat for a while longer, and when the tea in her cup cooled, she prepared to stand up.
“Chaomu, stay and chat with a little longer,” Bai Xuan lifted his head, a plea in his eyes.
Xu Chaomu was startled; she did not expect Bai Xuan to ask her to stay.
She sat down again, nodding her head: “Okay…”
“How have you been lately?” Bai Xuan asked.
“Very well, Shen Chi treats very well, and after the child in my belly is born, we plan to have a wedding. When the ti cos… you should co too,” Xu Chaomu said.
“Thank you for still acknowledging as your father.”
“The things that happened back then weren’t your fault. The past is the past, there’s no need to dwell on it.”
“When can you bring Xiaobao over? I’d like to et him…” A different shine flickered in Bai Xuan’s eyes.
Bai Xuan seldom asked Xu Chaomu for anything; he knew he wasn’t in a position to.
He knew Xu Chaomu was very kind, and if he were to beg Xu Chaomu as her biological father to ask Shen Chi to return the Bai Family’s company, it wouldn’t be a difficult task, but he could never do that.
He already owed Xu Chaomu too much…
Fortunately… Heaven had given Xu Chaomu a Shen Chi, which was compensation for the many years of regret and guilt he felt.
Xu Chaomu’s lips curved into a smile, a sparkle of joy in her eyes: “If you want to see him, I can have soone bring him over right now.”
Bai Xuan’s eyes lit up with excitent, and he was sowhat flustered: “Really? Good, good…”
At this mont, he seed more like a tender and pure elder.
Xu Chaomu made a phone call to the Shen Family’s people, asking them to bring Xiaobao over.
It wasn’t long before a servant arrived at the Bai Family’s old house, holding Xiaobao’s hand.
The mont he saw Xiaobao, tears welled up in Bai Xuan’s eyes.
“Xiaobao, co here to mommy,” Xu Chaomu called out, patting her hands and smiling.
