Chapter 104 - I Accept

************

CHAPTER 104

Bai Renxiang sighed repeatedly and then looked at her mother. If she accepts it, her life will change for good.

She would not need to worry about Bai Xiaojin's welfare and that if her mother's and also Shin and Shane.

"Alright. I accept the offer. I will accept the offer," she agreed after some thoughts.

"Well then, this means you have to call your grandpa and tell him about your acceptance," Jiang Meilin smiled at her daughter.

Bai Renxiang agreed and went back to call her grandfather. If he can do something about her son's expulsion, then she just hope he can before the next day so that Bai Xiaojin will not miss out in school and the remaining exams.

Back at Shin and Shane's apartment, Shane helped Bai Xiaojin in his drawing and also the colouring.

Bai Xiaojin had started to loosen up which is what Shane has been waiting for after Bai Renxiang left.

"So Little Jin, can you tell me what happened to your mummy and why you are not in school?" He threaded carefully in case something sensitive had transpired.

Bai Xiaojin on hearing his uncle Shane's question stopped what he was doing and look up to Shane.

Just his eyes met with Shane's curious and questioning ones, he looked down to his drawing book. It took a while before he finally spoke.

"I.. can't go to school anymore. Mr Principal said I can't," the little boy explained to his capability.

What Bai Xiaojin said stunned Shane. Why would the principal say such a thing?

"And why did the principal say so?" Shane asked.

"Because... because I hit a Su Quan."

Shane felt..uh... His brain for a moment became disorganized. Bai Xiaojin? This little innocent and timid three year old kid, hit another boy?

"Why? Did this Su Quan hit you first?"

Bai Xiaojin shook his head and sighed.

"Su Quan called mummy a whore and always called me a bastard. He also said that mummy slept around that is why she does not know my daddy."

"But Little Jin knows it is a lie. Mummy always comes home and gives Little Jin lots of kisses and even hugs me to sleep. They are lying, right uncle Shane? Mummy is not a whore, right?" This time Bai Xiaojin looked at Shane.

In his eyes, Shane could see confusion, fear, curiosity and sadness. Poor child.

"Yes, Little Jin. They are all liars. Your mummy is not what they are all calling her and you are not a bastard, okay?" Shane said and carried Bai Xiaojin to sit between his legs.

He held a pencil in Bai Xiaojin's hands and durected him in drawing.

"Bai Xiaojin, do not believe what people say, alright? Only believe what your mummy tells you," Shane said as the drew on.

Bai Xiaojin could only nod his head as he felt his mind getting clear. Uncle Shane said it is not true and he will listen to his uncle Shane's words.

As Bai Renxiang got inside her apartment, she went to her room to call her grandfather.

The call got connected only after two rings and a clear old voice rang out.

"Hello little Ren," old man Jiang said. He forced himself to conceal the happiness and anxiousness that wanted to burst out from his voice.

"He-hello grandpa. Good afternoon. How are you?" Bai Renxiang bit down on her succulent and kissable rosy pink lips as she is nervous.

"Good afternoon to you too. Your grandpa is fine. Why did you call? Are you not busy at work?" He asked calmly.

"No, I am not. Well I uh...called to ask about that discussion we had last time in that restaurant close to Emperor's Enterprise," she was dilly-dallying and it made old man Jiang's face to pop out a smile.

"Yes, I remember. What about it?"

Since she wanted to delay, two could play the game. He himself prolonged the length of the discussion before as she was not being straight forward.

"It is about that offer you talked about? The one you wanted me to take over the company?"

"Yes. But there is no use of the offer now. You already said you do not want to take over."

Bai Renxiang groaned lowly. She had already begun to be frustrated and was gradually regretting why she had said so.

But then again, he wanted her to think about it and she prosed to do just that. So she could say she had thought about it and has come up with an answer.

"But you were old me to think about it and u agreed to think," she pouted as of yet could see her.

"I know very well what I had told you. But did you, my dear about it?"

"Yes, I did. I did quiet a lot of thinking that day and today also," she hurriedly blurted out as if her grandfather will change his mind if she dies not hurry.

"And what was the conclusion of all the thinking you did? I mean, you called to tell me what you decided, right?" He asked as if he was just making random guesses.

"Yes yes. That is the reason I called. Well partly...the reason I called though."

Bai Renxiang had two reasons for calling. One is to tell him that she accepts the offer and the other is to ask if he could make the principal cancel the expulsion.

"I want to tell you that I accept the offer. I will take over the company. I will become the CEO of Jiang's Corporation," she said in a resolved voice.

There was only silence from the other end of the line. Old man Jiang did not say anything. He had prepared himself for her acceptance of the offer.

But the way she said it with full determination and great resolve. He had already captured a quality of a great CEO.

"Sigh. I have heard you. In fact I have been waiting for your call since that day.. Come to the mansion when you have time so that we and the lawyer can discuss things properly."
