Chapter 449: Chapter 450: Familiar (3)

With the conversation having reached this point, both parties had completely torn their faces apart, with no point in continuing.

He snorted heavily, turned around, and prepared to leave. “Let’s go! What’s the point of staying here, to invite insult?”

Qin Zhiyou expressed his regret, “What a pity, you’ve lost an excellent opportunity to elevate the Bai Family business to the top architecture company in China.”

Bai Changyou did not respond, and Cai Yiren and her mother naturally followed him out. Fang Zheng just got reprimanded by Lu Weixi, so he couldn’t say anything either, and could only leave dejectedly. Fang Rushuang looked at Lu Weixi, then at Qin Zhiyou, wanted to say something, but in the end, didn’t utter a word, and left in silence.

However, Bai Changyou and his party hadn’t even walked two steps when Lu Weixi suddenly called out to him, “Wait.”

Bai Changyou turned around. Perhaps due to Qin Zhiyou’s recent actions to stand up for his wife, he no longer seemed as agitated as before and asked, “What is it?”

Lu Weixi had vented her emotions just now, and had already calmed down. Her expression was incredibly indifferent as she disregarded Bai Changyou’s coldness and the scrutinizing gazes of others. She spoke calmly, “Someone just said that I’m not fulfilling my duty of support, and plans to sue me. I know there are many legal cases where some men abandon their wives and children when they’re young to pursue so-called true love and even help raise other people’s children. When they get old and immobile, when they’ve squandered all their money, they remember their biological children and demand support. If they can’t get it, they sue. After thinking it over, I’m not a cold-hearted person, and you have indeed raised me for so many years. Let’s do this – I will give you $500 per month, according to the minimum standard.”

$500 a month! Was she treating him like a beggar?! Bai Changyou was on the brink of passing out from rage. He glared at Lu Weixi, “Don’t worry, in the future even if I starve to death, die outside, or jump off a building, I won’t let you spend a dime! We can’t afford to associate with the Qin Family, let’s part ways here!”

“Safe travels, come again next time.” Qin Zhiyou watched as the group walked out, but didn’t forget to wave goodbye.

However, when Bai Changyou and his group were about to enter the elevator, a young man wearing a white coat and gold-rimmed glasses walked towards them.

As he brushed past them, Bai Changyou squinted his eyes, appearing somewhat perplexed. The young man in front of him looked vaguely familiar.

However, he couldn’t remember where he had seen him before.

It was just a fleeting glance, and just as he was pondering this, the elevator doors opened. Cai’s mother noticed his look and thought he might be having second thoughts. After all, Lu Weixi was his biological daughter, and he had loved and cared for Chu Zhuhuo for many years. Even if there were conflicts between father and daughter, their blood relation would not change. What if he regretted his words…

So, she called out, “Changyou, the elevator is here.”

Bai Changyou grunted in acknowledgment, didn’t look back, and stepped into the elevator. As the elevator doors closed, he suddenly remembered. He had seen this man at a private event in Auckland, which seemed to have been two years ago. And this man was closely associated with the top brass of a domestic steel company.

However, it was strange. Judging from the doctor’s coat the man was wearing and the direction he was headed in, it seemed he was going to Lu Weixi’s mother. Was this man her mother’s attending doctor?

Why would a doctor attend a real estate event in Australia, especially a private one?
