CHAPTER 425
"Hello," an elderly voice spoke.
"Hello, grandma. It's . Your Mingming," Bai Ming said in a soft voice
"Mingming! Oh, my baby girl. How are you?" Grandma Bai asked.
"I am fine, grandma. I'm sorry that have not been able to call. Work is very hectic nowadays."
"Oh, it is no worry, child. I understand that you trying your best for the company which is taking your ti. I am even surprised you have the sa ti to call this old woman," Grandma Bai was indeed understanding.
"How can say that, grandma? I will always create ti if it is for you. You know that I love you," Bai Ming smiled.
"I know, sweet child. Thank you. I am so lucky to have you as a granddaughter."
" too. Uhm, grandma... are you at ho with grandpa or are you guys out of the city again?" She asked.
She was well aware that the old couple would normally travel out for vacations. It was the wish of Bai Guiren as he wanted them to enjoy themselves.
"Yes, we are at ho. But your grandfather is not here at the mont. He went out to see an old friend," Grandma Bai replied.
"Oh, okay. I thought I was going to see him when I ca over but..."
Bai Ming sounded sad over the phone but deep down she was excited that grandpa Bai was not around. She could freely ask and convince her grandma to hand over her shares to her.
"Do not be as over that, my dear. I will tell you when next he is at ho and you want to visit. I can even keep ho for you, okay?" Grandma Bai tried to lift her mood.
"No... No, there is no need to do that. Don't trouble grandpa," Bai Ming refused, knowing that she did not want to see the old man. But grandma Bai would not have it.
"Nonsense, my dear. He ought to be there when his busy granddaughter makes ti to co and visit. Leave it to your grandma, okay?"
"Okay, grandma. If you say so," Baj Ming agreed so that her refusal would not seem suspicious. "Alright, I am on my way to the mansion, grandma. Wait for ."
"Yes, yes. Co quick so that I can see your beautiful face again."
"Hmm. Bye, grandma."
As soon as her call ended, Bak Ming quickly left her office to the parking lot. Thankfully, this driver Bai Guiren had gotten for was not like the last one. He was always available when she wanted to go anywhere.
So without further delay, she got into the car before the driver locked the door. "Where would you like to go, young miss?" The driver asked as soon as he got settled in the driver's seat.
"Take to the Bai ancestral mansion. Be quick about it," Bai Ming said.
"Yea, young miss."
~At the Bai ancestral mansion~
By the ti Bai Ming arrived at the Bai Mansion, she saw four maids standing outside, waiting for her.
"Welco, young miss," they bowed and greeted in unison.
Bai Ming nodded at their greeting. This was the treatnt Bai Ming loved. It is another reason why she would only co here when her grandmother was around.
The maids and other workers respected her like she was the wife of the president. Also, she loved the fact that Bai Renxiang was not here with her. She would enjoy all these by herself.
As Bai Ming took elegant and majestic steps toward them, one of the maids took her purse while the other opened the door for her and the rest just followed behind her like her loyal pets.
When they got inside the house, which was now warr than outside, another maid took off her outer coat for her. She continued her steps further into the house until she spotted grandma Bai fitted on one of the couches, gently sipping from a teacup in her hands.
"Grandma," Bai Ming called out softly.
"Ah! Look at my beautiful flower," Grandma Bai smiled brightly at her.
Bai Ming went to hug her before sitting beside her. "I missed you, grandma," she said.
" too. Hmm, you are looking a bit skinny. Are you working too much and neglecting your als?" Grandma Bai asked with a slight frown.
"Hehehe. No, grandma. I am not neglecting any of my als. Yisheng would not hear of it. Even mum and dad would not," Bai Ming chuckled.
"Who is Yisheng again?"
"Don't tell you have forgotten about my boyfriend, grandma?" Bai Ming pouted.
"Oh! Of course, I have not forgotten. Hmm, that boy cares for you very well, huh. Why don't you two just get engaged and tie the knot already?"
"Grandma, marriage is a big step. We are both not ready for that yet," she blushed.
"Hmm."
Just then, a maid brought a train of tea and cookies for Bai Ming. After she left, the old lady and Bai Ming chatted for quite a long ti.
Bi Ming did not imdiately go straight to the point of her visit. She did not want grandma Bai to think that she only created ti to call and visit her for only that purpose. Although that was indeed the case.
Bai Ming wanted it to seem as if she ca here majority because she missed grandma Bai and then along the way, she could carry on with her plan. Even though she was scared of the possibility that grandfather Bai could just co back to the mansion at any mont, Bai Ming still took chances.
Sigh.
"What is wrong, my dear? This is like the nth ti you are sighing. Is sothing weighing on your mind?" Grandma Bai asked out of concern.
"It is nothing grandma," Bai Ming shook her head and forced out a small smile.
"Tell . I am your grandmother," she insisted.
"It's just that... well, it's just that I need more shares of the company."
