Chapter 2889: It Was Enough to Make Any Woman Envious

Ding Ningdie didn’t deny that Mrs. Ding and Ning Shu bullied her; she only said her identity made people dislike her.

Bai Hanmo held Ding Ningdie’s hand. “A hero doesn’t care about their background. Besides, you’re not an illegitimate daughter anymore, so no one can use that against you now.”

Seeing Bai Hanmo being so sweet to Ding Ningdie, Ji Lu felt both relieved and jealous.

Even as a mother, watching a man with immense wealth, tall and handsome, talented and perfect, pampering a woman so much—

It was enough to make any woman envious, jealous, and resentful.

She had been a mistress for over twenty years, and now that she had finally become legitimate as Mrs. Ding, the company was on the brink of bankruptcy.

And it was all because of the former Mrs. Ding.

Comparing herself to her daughter, Ji Lu sank into self-pity and couldn’t help but feel jealous.

“I’ll find a way to resolve this,” Bai Hanmo said calmly.

Ji Lu forced a smile. “Thank you, son-in-law. Please find a way to fix it.”

She could hardly stand seeing the affection between her daughter and Bai Hanmo.

Different fates for different people, Ji Lu sighed to herself.

Wasn’t a woman’s life all about finding a good man? One who treasured her, who would give her the stars and the moon?

After Ji Lu left, Bai Hanmo and Ding Ningdie grew more intimate.

Ding Ningdie said worriedly, “You don’t have to worry about me. Taking out that much money would burden the Bai family’s company.”

“I really don’t understand why that mother-daughter pair is doing this. What do they gain?”

“It must be because of me—they want revenge, so they’re targeting the company. But the company has so many employees with families to support, and now they’re turning people’s livelihoods into a joke.”

Ding Ningdie’s face grew more distressed as she spoke, her furrowed brows making anyone want to smooth them out.

Every smile and frown was captivating, and even the smallest expressions were beautiful.

Bai Hanmo calculated his next move. He contacted the Guinness Company in Country M, only to find out they hadn’t sent anyone to acquire the Ding company at all.

It was easy for Bai Hanmo to guess what the mother-daughter pair was up to.

They just wanted to make some quick money.

But Bai Hanmo had no plans to tell Ding Yan. The technology of the Ding company was a weak point in his own group.

With that technology, the Bai Group could establish itself in multiple industries.

Bai Hanmo decided to buy the Ding company directly—partly for the business, partly for Ding Ningdie.

That way, she wouldn’t be upset.

A win-win situation and the Ding family couldn’t complain—he would have already helped them.

So, Bai Hanmo brought his team straight to the Ding company.

In the chairman’s office, he saw a group of about eight foreigners and smirked.

“You’ve put on this act long enough. Isn’t it time to send them away?” Bai Hanmo sneered.

Ning Shu wasn’t surprised to see him—it was obvious the Ding family had approached Bai Hanmo.

Even heroes couldn’t resist a beauty’s charms. Even King You of Zhou had lit a distress beacon, causing neighboring dukes to rush over, just to make a beauty smile.

If Bai Hanmo didn’t spend a fortune to buy the company, how could he truly prove his love for Ding Ningdie?

Ning Shu sent the foreigners away, then smiled and asked, “Why are you here?”

“That was quite the performance,” Bai Hanmo said, glancing at Mrs. Ding and Ning Shu. He twitched his nose; from the moment he walked in, he had smelled a faint medicinal scent.

Ning Shu replied, “Actually, I’m giving you an opportunity. I know you want to take over Ding’s company.”

“Oh, don’t project your thoughts onto me,” Bai Hanmo said, raising a finger to his lips and making a “shh” sound, his movements devilish.

What’s with the “shh” sound? He couldn’t finish peeing?

Ning Shu rolled her eyes.

Mrs. Ding added, “If you want to acquire the company, the highest bidder wins.”
