They several had a very successful talk, and Bai Hong proposed to go out to celebrate happily. Shen Yan earnestly wished that, so that she would not pester him to live in his home then. He was the first one to agree.

“Young Master Yan, you are so bad.” It was so late this time. Bai Hong did not have to go to work tomorrow, while the others had to. But Shen Yan still agreed with her proposal, so it was clear that he had an ulterior motive.

Shen Yan rolled his eyes towards Zhang Peng, “How dare you say that? Isn’t it all because of you? If you hadn’t broken off your marriage with her, how would things come to such a pass?”

Alright, it was all his fault. Zhang Peng also knew he was in the wrong, standing up without saying anything. Just celebrate! That would be okay. He did play outside all night anyway.

Then they went to the Red Lips. Since her concern had been resolved, and she had been reconciled with Yang Ke’er, Bai Hong was so happy and had a good drink. Then she offered to pay the bill, completely forgetting that she came out by stealth.

“Charge it to my account, as usual.” Bai Hong said to the waiter.

She was a regular customer here, so the waiter didn’t mind too much and followed her words. They had a finger-guessing game and sang, having great fun.

Bai Hong poured a glass of wine into her mouth, and stretched out her hand, wanting to play the finger-guessing game with Xia Yu.

Xia Yu was no match for her at all, losing the game quickly. Seeing that Xia Yu’s face had turned red, Shen Yan knew that she couldn’t drink anymore, so he took the initiative to drink the wine for her.

“Young Master Yan, it is unfair.” Bai Hong protested.

“You can ask someone to drink for you too.” Xia Yu couldn’t speak clearly then, and her head was also dizzy. If Shen Yan hadn’t have drunk this glass of wine for her, she would have definitely collapsed.

She dared not do bravados this time, so even her tone had softened.

“That’s easy for you to say that. He’s your boyfriend. But I don’t have a boyfriend to help me.” Bai Hong also wanted to find someone to help her drink, while no one was willing.

Xia Yu shook her hand and said, “You are wrong. He is my ex-boyfriend, not boyfriend. You can ask your ex-boyfriend for help, too.”

Well, Xia Yu and Shen Yan had broken up, so he was indeed the ex-boyfriend. While her ex-boyfriend was here too. She wanted to ask him for help, but would he be as willing as Shen Yan?

Whatever! Try it first! Bai Hong snapped the cup in front of Zhang Peng, saying with full aggressiveness, “Drink!”

When he was her fiancé, she never spoke to him with such a tone. While her temper turned really violent then after such a short time since they broke up.

Zhang Peng kept stunned for a while. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he had to pick up the glass and said, “Okay. Young Master Yan also drank just now.”

In fact, Bai Hong was also worried that Zhang Peng would not do that for her sake. While seeing him finishing the glass of wine, she felt relaxed. She stretched out her hand, patting Zhang Peng’s shoulder, “You are really like a man.”

What was that? Wasn’t he like a man before? The corner of his lips twitched. Recalling the days when they were together, well, Zhang Peng felt himself really not a good guy.

“Bai Hong, I’m sorry.”

“What?” Bai Hong had already got dizzy from drinking, thinking she had an auditory hallucination.

“I’d like to say that you’re a very nice girl actually. I made things difficult for you at that time because I was battling my parents. Can you forgive me?” Zhang Peng knew he had a great responsibility for Bai Hong’s being like this.

Bai Hong heard his words clearly this time, thinking of what Xia Yu said to her that day. They were both right, and the only fault was the way they were together. Maybe they would have got along very well if they had changed the way.

Fate had ordained they could not be the couple. While it would be fine for them to be friends. Bai Hong smiled and said, “Since you are so sincere, and I’m not a so mean guy, I forgive you.”

“You promise. We are still friends then. You can’t go back on your word.” It was just what Yang Ke’er was waiting for.

Bai Hong patted her chest and said, “I promise. I won’t go back on it.”

“Since we are all friends, shall we drink to our friendship?” Jiang An raised his glass.

“Good proposal. But I have a requirement. Xia Yu has to drink by herself. Young Master Yan can’t drink for her.” Bai Hong put the wine glass in front of Xia Yu.

“Of course.” Xia Yu picked up it and clinked glass with everyone else, finishing it at one sitting, and then the others did so too.

Just then, the door of the private room opened. Mrs. Bai went in with a few bodyguards. Seeing Bai Hong was with them, she frowned.

She knew her daughter’s nature. Bai Hong would go to either a bar or a ballroom. Mrs. Bai came over after receiving a phone call from her inside man in the bar. She thought Bai Hong would be drinking alone, while she didn’t expect her to be together with these people.

Mrs. Bai did not say anything, waving her hand to the bodyguards behind, who then went forward and helped Bai Hong up to go out. At this time Bai Hong had been completely drunk, not resisting at all.

Everyone came here to accompany Bai Hong. Since she had gone, everyone left. They went back to their homes, sleeping all night till the morning.

In the morning, when the sun shone on Bai Hong’s face, she got up and sat up. It was agreed last night that she would have to report to her father, and if he also agreed, she would have to sign a contract with them. She couldn’t forget that.

“You are awake.” Mrs. Bai sat in her room all night, and she was so angry.

This poor girl. Wasn’t her humiliating enough before those people? Last night her father was so angry that he wanted to sever family ties with her after he knew that she was with those people again, even asking the bodyguard to throw her out immediately.

Mrs. Bai cherished her daughter so much, begging President Bai all the time, and finally, Bai Hong was allowed to stay at home for one night. While President Bai proposed clearly that she had to get out immediately unless she could compensate for the loss of the company.

Compensating for the loss was tantamount to Bai Hong’s compromising on the engagement with Jiang Tao. Mrs. Bai also wanted them to get engaged, but her daughter was so bad-tempered, so she had to continue persuading her. After thinking about it all night, Mrs. Bai decided to impose both mercy and power. Or really throw her out? She didn’t have the heart to do that.

“Good morning, mom. It’s so early.” Seeing her mother in her room so early, Bai Hong could only giggle.

” It’s not early now, and your father is still waiting for you in the study. Tell me, what shall you do?” Mrs. Bai put on a sulky face, intending to play rough and frighten Bai Hong first, and then talk with her.

It was time to talk with her father. Bai Hong reached for the clothes and put them on, saying to her mother calmly, “I’m OK. let’s go to the study.”

“I’d like to warn you that your dad is serious this time. You’d better not make him angry.” Mrs. Bai saw her daughter did not take it seriously, reminding her then.

“I see. When was he not serious?” Bai Hong said when she opened the door, walking to his father’s study directly.

This girl. Mrs. Bai had to follow her. Although her daughter didn’t live up to her expectations, she was her daughter after all. It was good for her to get a lesson from her father, while it must be within the measure. She must keep things in control.

Bai Hong knocked on the door and then went in. Before she called dad, a stack of contracts from the opposite fell over, “You can choose to get engaged to Jiang Tao, or to sign these contracts.”

Really straightforward. Bai Hong bent over to pick up the documents from the ground. They were the contracts with Shen Group and Jiang Group.

“As to these contracts, I can sign them. Plus, the contracts with Zhang Group and Yang Group, okay?” Bai Hong looked at her father calmly, “As long as you don’t let me get engaged to Jiang Tao.”

Was the girl not sober yet? If she did not get engaged to Jiang Tao, who would sign these contracts with her? Just then, Mrs. Bai pushed the door open and came in. He pointed to Mrs. Bai, “Go and get a bowl of soup from the kitchen to wake her up.”

“I am not drunk. Jiang Tao and Shen Mo are not the Presidents of those two companies. Even if I don’t sign a contract with them, I can sign those contracts.” Bai Hong stretched out her hand to pull her mother but looked at her father.

“They’re not the Presidents. It’s OK if you can sign the contracts with the Presidents.” Seeing her still reply defiantly, President Bai was too lazy to talk nonsense with her then. What he wanted were just contracts.

Bai Hong also did not talk too much nonsense with her father, flipping over the contracts, saying, “Last night I talked with Zhang Peng, Yang Ke’er and Jiang An, and they were all willing to cooperate with us. As for Shen Group, isn’t it about time for them to change the President? We don’t have to sign a contract with them in a hurry. Let’s see.”

President Bai looked at his daughter, asking patiently, “You mean, Zhang Family, Yang Family and Jiang Family all have promised to cooperate with us. As for Shen Family, we will just wait for their President to be chosen, and then we will cooperate with him directly. Our cooperation will last longer if so, alright?”

Bai Hong nodded, “That’s what I mean.”

President Bai laughed out as he was so angry with his daughter. Everybody knew the reason, while would things just go how you would like them to? Jiang An didn’t have too much contact with them, Zhang Family fell out with Bai Family like that, and as to Yang Family, was there any chance for their cooperation?

“Dad, that’s not completely impossible. Jiang An can suppress Jiang Tao if he cooperates with us. Why don’t he agree with that if it’s good for him? As for Yang Ke’er, we used to be friends, and Shen Mo cooperates with us to fight with Shen Yan superficially, while he intends to fight against Yang Family indeed. Don’t forget that Yang Weiye is now the President of Shen Group. As for Zhang Peng, he is now Yang Ke’er’s boyfriend, so he will naturally stand by Yang Family’s side. It is entirely in their interest if we do not cooperate with Shen Mo. Why do you think they should not cooperate with us?” Bai Hong told her father what Xia Yu analyzed last night.

After listening to his daughter’s words, President Bai fell into deep thought. Her words made sense somewhat. When Zhang Hanyu came to him before, he was angry so he directly agreed to cooperate with them.

It was not good to pull back since he had promised, “But Zhang Family went too far. How can I tolerate that?”

“Dad, you’re going to let me get engaged to someone I don’t like just because you can’t tolerate something?” Bai Hong was so vexatious.

“Honghong, listen to your dad. I also feel it unreliable. You have broken up with Zhang Peng, so how can we continue to cooperate. “Mrs. Bai persuaded her daughter.

“Why not? Xia Yu also broke up with Shen Yan, but Xia Family is still cooperating with Shen Family. Feelings are feelings, and business is business. You should not mix them. Besides, Zhang Peng apologized to me last night. We have reconciled. We are all friends then. Why can’t we cooperate?” Bai Hong argued vigorously on the side.
