CHAPTER 578

The downfall of the Bai family was the talk of the day. Most people said they deserved it for all the evil they had done. Some, out of the goodness of their hearts pitied Lin Ying's death.

But whatever it may be, Bai Renxiang had the last laugh and she won the battle.

"The Bai family had quite a fall. It was one that I did not see coming," Jiang Meilin said before stopping frim the cup of tea.

"Of course it is. Especially the death of that hus mistress, Lin Ying," Bai Renxiang nodded.

Jiang Meilin came over to the hospital visit Bai Renxiang the next morning. Since Li Fengjin went to deal with some things, she took it as an opportunity to talk.

She had missed having her daughter with her after all.

"My! I had no idea that Bai Ming would not be the product of Bai Guiren and Lin Ying's extramarital affair. I was totally shocked when I saw that part of the news this morning," Jiang Meilin exclaimed.

"Yeah. It caught me by surprise when Xie sent those information to me. Anyway, it is in her personality, right? To be the lover of men."

"I guess so," Jiang Meilin shrugged and had another sip of tea.

"Say mum. You look rather splendid today and also yesterday," Bai Renxiang noted.

She had taken note of her mother's appearance when Jiang Meilin came in. She was dressed in a simple black high-waisted skirt that stopped below her knees.

Then she tucked in a maroon chiffon shirt and added a gold Wasit belt to make it look more elegant. A few jewelries here and there, light make up. A maroon checkered trench coat, black flats and a maroon purse to go.

She looked simply exquisite. Like a woman age just has not overtaken. It brightened Bai Renxiang's I need self to see her mother like that.

Just the way she used to dress as the madam of the Bai household.

"Oh, this child. You have a sweet mouth," Jiang Meilin rolled her eyes. And they both laughed.

"I am very serious. Honest in fact. Since the I last saw you, you seem to have added some flesh to cover up a few bones. And your skin is always glowing. Someone is really taking good care of you," Bai Renxiang teased while wiggling her brows.

Jiang Meilin pouted a little and glared at her. "Do not go on teasing your mother. I can still spank you uneven if you are also a mum and in a hospital bed," she threatened.

Bai Renxiang threw her head back and laugh whole-heartedly. Soon Jiang Meilin joined in. With them smiling like this, they looked so much alike.

"Ah! I just remembered. What are you going to do about those houses the Bai family occupied?" Jiang Meilin asked.

"I'm thinking of just leaving it the way they are. Plus, the workers in there would be left jobless if I also throw them out," Jiang Meilin nodded in agreement.

"Not only that, those mansion's werw still my home in some way. They are my roots, the place where I grew up. Even if I had thousands of bad memories and a few good ones there, I don't just want to sell it out or something," Bai Renxiang added.

"I see. You are right though. Anyway, things are all in your care now, sweetie. So whatever decision you make, I will support it," Jiang Meilin said.

"Thanks, mum."

"Say, how is Xiaozhi doing? I have not been able to call that child and I feel guilty about it? I'm supposed to check up in her every once in a while," Jiang Meilin added the last part and sighed.

"Xiaozhi will definitely throw a tantrum over that. But I doubt if she will at a time like this," Bai Renxiang also sighed and then took slow gulps from her tea.

"Huh? What happened? You sound as if something bad happened to her?"

"Somethung did happen to her but not her directly."

"Oh! Is it something I should be worried about?" Jiang Meilin inquired.

"I don't know. It is about her mother, Mrs Ning," Bai Renxiang began.

"The woman who disagreed with Xiaozhi and Chaoxiang's marriage? The one woman our Xiaozhi can't stand?"

The way Jiang Meilin asked became amusing to Bai Renxiang. She could not help but chuckle and shake her head.

"Yes, that woman. She is also the one who has been calling and texting Xiaozhi for forgiveness and stuffs like that," she answered.

"Okay. What has Xiaozhi done about it?"

"At first she ignored the calls. Then she spoke to the woman on the following call. According to Xiaozhi, she said some bad things to her mother. But after a few days, they scheduled to meet whuch was yesterday," Bai Renxiang narrated.

"However, before they could get to meet, Mrs Ning got into an accident while crossing the road."

"Ohmo!" Jiang Meilin gasped and placed a hand over her lips as her eyes widened in shocked.

She slowly moved her hand away and asked. "She is alive, right? Was the accident serious?"

"Kind of. A damage to the knee and few scratches here and there," Bai Renxiang told.

"Aigoo! Xiaozhi must be feeling devastated. She must be blaming herself now," Jiang Meilin spike with a pained face.

"How do you know that?" Bai Renxiang asked with raised brow.

"How can I not know? I have been in that situation before. When your grandma died I felt very guilty. I thought that if I had just gone home more often, she would have been alive with your grandpa," Jiang Meilin expanciated.

"I still feel that way no matter how many times your grandpa reassured me that it wasn't like that. He said she lived everyday with a beautiful smile in her face."

It was a tough time for Jiang Meilin too bit she tried to bear with it. After all, old man Jiang was the one having it the worse. Loosing your other half is a painful thing.
