Chapter 101 - Do Nothing

CHAPTER 101

'If she does not want to think of herself, then she should think of her son.' Charlie thought.

Normally Old man Jiang would not want that but now he seemed to have left it all in her hands.

"Just do as I have said," old man Jiang said in a tone of finality. At this point, Charlie knew that there was no space left for arguments. It looks like his master was sent on this one.

Charlie could only sigh and agree to his master's decision.

"Yes sir. Then what about the drugs. Should I inform the doctor to get the drugs?" Charlie switched to another matter as there was nothing left to be said about the young miss and her young son.

"Yes. I think it is high time we collected my stolen property. Don't you think so too Charlie boy?" Jiang Weilong asked with a sinister smile on his face.

Charlie hissed quietly at the name his boss just called him. How can he, a young hunk be called a name suitable for a kid or a pet?

"Yes, sir. I have already started taking back your property sir. But I am being very discrete as per your instructions, boss" he said.

"Yes. Keep it a secret. Keep everything a secret including by returning health. We must continue with this actfor some period of time," he said as he stroked his the right side of he face.

"This includes my real family. There should be no detail leaked out. Whether it is about my health and restoring wealth. Not even a tinnie tiny bit," he said as he joined his thumb and fore finger to illustrate want he meant. It was like he was taking a pinch of salt.

"I understand boss. My lips are fully zipped. I will take my leave now, to f you do not mind boss."

"Hmm. Go ahead." Charlie bowed first before he exited the study room.

As soon as he left, Jiang Weilong let out a heavy breath. The anger he was masking away from his right hand man resurfaced.

"How dare that scummbag of a principal throw my great-grandson out of his stupid kindergarten school?" He rumbled in anger.

"But I can't do anything just yet. I need that stubborn granddaughter of mine to accept my offer. That scummbag should count himself lucky for the now. Once Bai Renxiang accepts the offer, I will show him who is the boss he is supposed to bow to."

Back to Bai Renxiang and Bai Xiaojin, the two of them had arrived at home. Bai Renxiang helped herself and her son with an afternoon bath before she reheated the steamed buns that she saw in the refrigerator so that she and Bai Xiaojin could have something to eat for lunch.

Bai Renxiang sighed when she thought of what had happened in Bai Xiaojin's kindergarten school at the principal's office.

She pondered on what she should do next. But upon all her thoughts, there was nothing to be done.

After the both of them were done eating, she washed the dishes and left to Shin and Shane's apartment.

"Sis?" Shane was surprised and shocked to see Bai Renxiang and her son ay his door step. He turned his head to the walk clock and saw that is had not clocked the time Bai Renxiang is supposed to close from work.

It will be at least two hours from now and just thirty minutes from when he is supposed to pick Bai Xiaojin from school.

"What are you doing here? Are you not supposed to be at work? And why is Little Jin not in school?" Shane bombarded her with questions.

If it were to be a normal happy day, Bai Renxiang would have chuckled at the way he was questioning her. But since it is not, her face remained neutral.

"Are you going to keep questioning me? Or are you going to let me and my son in?" She asked.

"Oh. I am sorry about that. Please come in, come in," he opened the door more widely for them to enter.

He noticed the lack of emotions s d liveliness on her face and in the tone of her voice. Even Bai Xiaojin was not happy like he uses to whenever he was brought over to stay for a while.

Bai Renxiang let Bai Xiaojin sit on one of the sofas in the living room and gave him his drawing book and colour pencils.

"Is Shin with mum?" She turned to ask Shane who had been trying to read the current situation.

"Uh yeah. Yes, he is. Should I call him?" Shane asked as he brought his phone out from his pants pocket, ready to give up s partner a call.

"There will be no need for that," she stopped him.

"I will leave Xiaojin with you here while I go down to the grocery store to meet mum. Can you help me keep him n company while I am away?" She asked.

"Sure sure. Of course I can. There is no problem with that. You do not need to even ask," Shane readily agreed but his eyes was still on her face.

"Is something wrong sis? You do not look....like yourself. I mean, you seem dull," he could not help but ask. He had been trying to figure it out but he could not do he asked instead.

"Well, it is just.... Nothing. I am okay. Thank you for agreeing to look after him. I will get going now," she turned to look at Xiaojin who in turn was staring at her.

"Be good and have fun with your uncle Jin, okay? I will be back soon.

Bai Xiaojin nodded his head. After that, Bai Renxiang left without another word.

Bai Renxiang went straight to the grocery store where her mother probably is.

"Mum," she called out.

Jiang Meilin was busy checking the account records of the previous week and this almost ending one when she heard her daughter's voice.
