Playboy CEO Has a Baby

CHAPTER 4

"I need to go," Dai Kai interjected. "Sorry. I cannot help you out with cash and stuff, so good luck out there. Bye, take care."

BEEP! BEEP!

She was stunned beyond a reasonable doubt. How could her life just turn out like this? First, it was her father throwing her out.

Then her boyfriend at the same tree where they met, first started their relationship and where they ended it.

"I refuse to give up hope, let me try Ru Chu Mei. She always got my back, right? Yes."

RING! RING!

After a while of ringing, the call was finally answered.

,m "Hello, Ru Chu Mei, good evening. Sorry to disturb you but…"

She had not even spoken up completely when the angry voice of her friend reached her ears.

"What is good about the evening? How can you be calling and disturbing my peace of mind like this, huh Bai Renxiang?"

0_0

She was stupefied. This was one of her friends in the marketing department. Even when she was not qualified because of her an issue she had with the court, Bai Renxiang did not reject her but allowed them to accept her because she saw talent in her.

Not only that, she helped her with her case by asking one of her law acquaintances to fight her case for her and she won rightly, since then the two had been good friends but now…

"Chu Mei…"

"DO NOT CALL MY NAME. Sluts like you do not the right to do so."

"Ru Chu Mei! Are you out of your mind? I helped you to be who you are but this is how well you treat me? Your true colours are out."

"Look at the pot calling the kettle black. Are you not the one playing innocent but you have been a hidden prostitute all along. If I were you, I would go and hide where no one would see me rather than parading myself and making trouble."

"RU CHU MEI!"

"What is it? Does the truth hurt? If it does, you would have thought of the shame you brought on everyone in the company because of your promiscuous acts."

"I do not blame you."

"Can you? Anyways, I only answered your call to warn you to not try and call me again or any of us. If I didn't pick up, you would have kept on disturbing my phone. So please, respect what you have left before I do something you would regret. Good night."

BEEP! BEEP!

At this point, all she could do was to allow the tears she had been holding back to free fall. This was hurtful and much too painful for her to bear.

Within the twinkle of an eye, all her world came crashing down.

After weeping uncontrollably for another forty to forty-five minutes, she finally decided to go visit her mother and if she turned her down too, she would go stay in a hotel and start looking for a job.

The problem was though, at this point, she doubted if any landowner would allow her rent or even hotel, they may want to chase her away to prevent bad business and all.

Besides, she was trying to avoid the press in the first place, so hotels were out of it.

In the semi lonely street, a red car skidded to a halt in front of a bungalow. From the way and manner the house looked, it was obvious that the owner was living alone and just living to get by.

The car doors opened and Bai Renxiang stepped her foot out before paying the taxi driver and taking her things out.

"Thanks," she waved goodbye as the car drove off.

She looked around. The place was just as she recalled it to be. A part of her wondered why investors had not come to open these places up by building factories and other business ventures there.

For a moment there, she forgot her sorrows and wondered the things that could be done to the neighbourhood.

It was when her gaze fell on the not too big house again, that she understood why her mother came here in the first place and recalled why she was here.

It was at the outskirts of town and a place quiet from the buzzing city life, like her mother would call it then.

And due to its limited population, most investors took their business elsewhere to buzzing places, but that would also make it a cheaper site when it came to purchasing lands and all.

'Get your head back, Renxiang. You would ruin the actual purpose while the residents are enjoying this place. You came here for a quiet and peaceful life not to drag the noise of the world here.

She turned her head to the side again and saw a rickety old car that looked like it had not been touched in ages and smiled. As she rose her head to look at the sky, she saw hope and a way ahead.

Her chest rose as she inhaled deeply, before relaxing and releasing the breaths she held. It had been long since she saw her mother.

And part of the reason why was because her father won full custody of her while her mother was left with some money and nothing.

And that too, the man, Mr Bai Guiren, played a smart one on her mother and did not give her the money, indicating she was having an affair in their marriage.

Seeing that with his wealth and all, she was losing, she settled for seeing her daughter once a month and she would leave his money alone.

Unfortunately, it wasn't a written agreement and he won everything, leaving her empty.

Unfortunately for her, Renxiang was always monitored, so she could not see her mother as the latter couldn't see her as well.

She walked on, ignoring the past and pushing the gate open as she stepped into the compound.

DING DONG!

"Coming!"

She inhaled deeply again when she heard her mother's familiar voice. It stayed the same all these years but the energetic vibe had indeed gone down.
