When Luo Yun left the Bai family with Bai Qihan, the old man of the Bai family gave Luo Yun a big red packet. It was a check, a private token of his gratitude to Luo Yun. It could be seen that Old Master Bai still felt some fear about what had happened.

Luo Yun did not decline and said after accepting it, “Grandpa, just in case, you have to always have someone with you. Remember to always take the medicine that the doctor prescribed on time and stay healthy.”

“Alright.” Old Master Bai nodded.

On the way back, Luo Yun said mysteriously to Bai Qihan, “Grandpa gave me a gift. What do you think is inside?”

“A check.” After Bai Qihan finished speaking and saw her disappointed expression, he could not help but wonder if he should have guessed wrongly on purpose.

Luo Yun took out the check. It was 500,000 yuan. “Grandpa is really generous.” She carefully put it away.

Bai Qihan: “He was shot in the heart in his early years. At that time, medical technology was not that developed, so it was never taken out. Now that he is old, it has become a risk factor.”

“It still hasn’t been taken out?” asked Luo Yun.

“It’s too risky to do so. No doctor dares to do it.” Bai Qihan said.

Luo Yun was silent. Old Master Bai’s early years were indeed full of ups and downs. He had escaped death many times and had countless injuries on his body. Back in Sea City, he had almost shaken the Ji family’s position as the overlord. The lives of many of the Ji family’s members had been lost because of his maritime business. Ever since then, the Bai family and the Ji family had a deep grudge against one another.

The book specifically emphasized that grudge likening the situation of the male and female leads to that of Romeo and Juliet. However, in Luo Yun’s opinion, there was only cruelty toward the female lead. The grudges, the unreachable partner, the car accident that led to her miscarriage… All of it was but ruses and schemes. In any case, normal people would not be willing to be with such a scumbag.

Just as she was thinking about it, someone pinched her red packet that contained the check. She subconsciously clenched her hand.

Bai Qihan’s body twitched. He did not pull the red packet. He raised his eyebrow and said, “Who was the one who said yesterday that they would pay me back immediately if they had the money?”

Luo Yun pulled the red packet back and said weakly, “In the future… I said in the future, not now, okay?”

Her eyes blinked, and her eyelashes fluttered. She was like a lost deer, pitiful and a little cute.

Bai Qihan retracted his hand and snorted. He muttered, “Little liar.”

After Luo Yun got back, she found Bai Qihan’s attending doctor, Wang Bo’s contact information in the document that the butler had given her. She wrote him an anonymous email, describing some treatment methods for spinal nerve damage. Having such advanced knowledge could actually make things difficult sometimes. The current level of this world in terms of medical technology was rather lacking, so it would be difficult for the other party to understand everything she wrote. However, she still had hope.

After clicking send, Luo Yun put her palms together and prayed for a reply.

At that moment, a notification popped up on his phone. It was financial news about the White Dragon Group’s strategic reorganization.

Bai Qihan went to the company for a board meeting this morning. He would take over all the hotel businesses under the White Dragon Group. This was because, under the leadership of Bai Qihan’s uncle, Bai Rui, the businesses had suffered losses one after another. But even so, it could be seen that Old Master Bai was somewhat biased toward this good-for-nothing son Bai Rui. Not only had he given him key real estate businesses, but he also gave him financial businesses. It could be said that as long as Bai Rui had not messed around, he could have made money even if he had just laid down and did nothing.

As for the hotel business, it was a third-party service industry. It would receive a large number of complaints, and it was pretty much a thankless task. It was also in a state of loss, so it would take a lot of effort to reverse things. There was a limit to how much revenue it could earn.

On the surface, Old Master Bai said that he wanted to train Bai Qihan and gave him the hotel business, but there were numerous way better options for training. Now that these hotel businesses were in a mess, Bai Qihan had to clean it all up…

Luo Yun put down her phone and remembered that the book mentioned that Bai Qihan had once worked on an electronics project. The Bai family did not value it too highly, and it had remained stagnant. But later, Bai Qihan still managed to make use of that to bring the White Dragon Group to another peak. She did not know if Bai Qihan had actually given up. She wondered if she should give him a reminder and tell him not to give up. When she thought of this, she opened a document and started writing a strategy plan.

At nine o’clock in the evening, Bai Qihan returned.

The servant told him that Luo Yun had been staying in the study and had yet to eat dinner. She had gone to invite her a few times, but the madam kept on saying that she was not hungry. The madam did not even touch the food that she had sent over.

“I’ll go take a look,” Bai Qihan frowned.
