President, the deceased lady has three more children
Chapter 502 Nanxing and the Fu family can never be completely unrelated.
Even without seeing the children's expressions, he could tell how the children felt about him and how angry they were just from the tone and content of these voice messages.
He pinched the bridge of his nose. The relationship had finally eased up a little, but now it seemed like it was going to fall apart again.
But he really didn't know why his child would curse at him for no reason.
He originally wanted to explain to Mu Bao via voice or ask Mu Bao why, but he was worried that his tone would be inappropriate and make the children angry, so he ended up just typing.
However, to his surprise, when he wrote such a long message and was about to send it, it was rejected by the other party.
Seeing that red exclamation mark and the message that you are not yet friends with the other party also gave me a headache.
He re-registered as a friend, listened to Mu Bao's voice message again, and thought about what had happened today. In the end, he seemed to have guessed a little about the reason.
After considering everything that happened today, there was only one reason he could think of: the children had seen the photo of him helping Lu Mingzhu out of the office.
Jiang Bai handled the situation very quickly. Would the children have noticed it so quickly? Only someone who frequently uses the internet could have noticed it so fast.
So it was that person who told the children? The one who cooperated with him but said nothing, and whose true identity he still can't guess.
He looked down at the still-silent chat page on his phone and guessed that Mu Bao wouldn't forgive him so easily. In fact, he thought that this was a rare opportunity for Mu Bao to get rid of him.
Mu Bao added him on WeChat because he pressured her.
A bitter look flashed across his eyes; this was the consequence of his own actions.
When Jiang Bai found Lin Ke, Vice President Li was personally treating Lin Ke's facial injuries with some medicine, and he looked very apologetic.
"Dr. Lin, I'm so sorry. I really didn't know these things would happen. If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have been in such a hurry to bring you back. It's all my fault, sigh..."
“Vice President Li, this has nothing to do with you. This is a matter between us. Even without you, we would have had this fight sooner or later.”
Lin Ke spoke calmly, not blaming Vice Dean Li for all of this, because he knew all too well what the conflict between him and Fu Yunchuan was all about.
Although he couldn't beat Fu Yunchuan and was at a disadvantage, at least he fought for Nanxing and stood up for Nanxing.
"Sigh..." Vice Dean Li let out another heavy sigh.
He was indeed a little curious about the conflict between the two, but he was only curious and didn't dare to ask too much, after all, it was President Fu's private matter.
After listening to what was happening at the door, Jiang Bai raised his hand and knocked.
The two looked over together, and their reactions differed when they saw it was Jiang Bai.
Lin Ke's face turned cold, and Vice Dean Li quickly let him in.
"Assistant Jiang, what brings you here? Is there something you need help with?" Vice President Li stepped forward, using half of his body to shield Lin Ke.
He was actually a little worried that Jiang Bai had come to find Lin Ke on Fu Yunchuan's instructions.
Although Jiang Bai was trying to mediate the fight, who knows what else Fu Yunchuan might have arranged for Jiang Bai to do later?
Jiang Bai immediately saw through Vice President Li's thoughts.
"Vice President Li, don't worry. I'm here to have a chat with Dr. Lin. I don't intend to do anything to Dr. Lin, so you don't need to worry."
Li, the vice-dean, was a little embarrassed after being exposed, but he still took a step to the side. Since Jiang Bai had said so, he probably wouldn't do anything to Lin Ke.
He didn't want to offend President Fu, nor did he dare to, but he couldn't just stand by and watch Lin Ke get into trouble, since he was the one who had brought Lin Ke here.
"I have nothing to talk to you about." Lin Ke stood up.
"Also, Vice President Li, I've been a bit busy lately, so I won't be coming to the hospital for a while. I'm sorry I can't keep my promise to you. Please find another doctor to come and see patients."
This is what Lin Ke just realized. He knew all too well that Fu Yunchuan wouldn't let him off so easily, so staying away from this hospital was the right thing to do. He couldn't let himself become someone that Fu Yunchuan could use to threaten Nanxing.
Vice President Li was taken aback by Lin Ke's sudden words and immediately began to try to persuade him to stay.
"No, no, Dr. Lin, why did you suddenly decide not to come? You have no idea how much your arrival would help some of our hospital's new doctors."
"Vice President Li, do you think I'm still okay in this state?" Lin Ke touched his injured lip.
Vice President Li paused for a moment before hesitantly speaking, "Dr. Lin, could you please reconsider? At least think about it for a day and get back to me tomorrow? I find it hard to accept that you made such a decision so suddenly."
Most importantly, Jiang Bai is still here. He has to at least put on a show, otherwise, if Jiang Bai goes back and says something to President Fu, he really doesn't know how to handle the situation.
Lin Ke paused for a moment before nodding, "Okay, I'll get back to you tomorrow."
In reality, he was just putting on a show; his true decision would not change.
Jiang Bai acted as if he hadn't heard their conversation, wearing a calm and polite smile on his face, until Lin Ke answered a phone call.
"Amy? I'm fine, I'm coming over now, you don't need to worry." Lin Ke reassured Amy on the phone for a few moments before preparing to leave.
Jiang Bai watched as Lin Ke's expression softened the moment she answered the phone, and his eyes flickered slightly.
Seeing that Lin Ke was about to leave, he immediately followed.
"Dr. Lin, let me take you home. I'm worried about you being injured like this."
"No need, I have my own car," Lin Ke coldly refused.
"Dr. Lin, I know you have a car, but I have a few things I'd like to say to you, such as about the young masters."
Jiang Bai followed Lin Ke and said something in a low voice with a seemingly polite smile.
Lin Ke stopped in her tracks and looked at him. "What do you mean? Are you threatening me?"
"No, Dr. Lin, I really just want to have a good talk with you. This time, we were in the wrong. I just want to take you back and apologize to you."
Jiang Bai always wore a smile.
“You know I’m not an irrational person. There are some things I do want to ask you. Really, I promise I won’t say or do anything reckless.”
"Just consider me a friend who never returns. We're friends now, aren't we?"
Lin Ke did not refuse Jiang Bai again. Although he was wary of Jiang Bai, he knew that Jiang Bai had treated Nan Xing fairly well in the past because of what Nan Xing had told him.
Of course, what was even more important was that he also wanted to know what Jiang Bai was going to say to him.
Jiang Bai sent a message to Fu Yunchuan to report, and then drove his own car to take Lin Ke back.
He thought Lin Ke would go back to the Yun family or that apartment, but he didn't expect that he would actually go to find Amy.
When he heard Lin Ke say he was going to find Amy, he thought it didn't mean what he thought it meant, but now it seems that it really does mean what he thought it meant.
"Dr. Lin, aren't you going home? It's so late, aren't you planning to go back and check on the children? Don't you need to tell Miss?"
Jiang Bai asked curiously as he drove, as if he was genuinely just very puzzled.
"Miss? Who are you calling?" Lin Ke asked coldly.
“Dr. Lin, you know who I’m calling. I don’t call her ‘Young Madam’ because the Old Madam and the others don’t allow it. But Miss will always be Miss Fu. Our Madam truly treats her like a daughter. Whether in the past or now, the servants in the house have always called her ‘Miss’.”
Jiang Bai's words seemed to be an explanation, but in reality, they were more of an emphasis.
It's as if to say that even if Nanxing isn't Mrs. Fu, she's still a young lady of the Fu family, and will always be connected to the Fu family no matter what.
"Your young lady died six years ago, at the hands of your CEO Fu," Lin Ke retorted without hesitation.
"Dr. Lin, there are no outsiders here. We all know what you mean by saying these things. Nanxing is still the same Nanxing as before."
Lin Ke's face suddenly turned cold. "Assistant Jiang, if you have something to say, say it now. If you just want to warn me, then there's no need. I've known Nan Xing longer than any of you. I know what she's like, and I know what she's thinking right now."
“As long as she doesn’t want to, she can never be the young mistress of the Fu family, let alone the young lady of the Fu family.”
"But she is still the biological mother of our two young masters. That's an undeniable fact, isn't it? As long as the two young masters are alive, she can never sever her ties with the Fu family in her lifetime."
Jiang Bai wouldn't normally say these things; in fact, most of the time he would advise Fu Yunchuan to accept the present situation.
However, he is currently verifying some things, so it's impossible for him to give Lin Ke the upper hand. Or, since he is now President Fu's assistant, he naturally has to speak up for Fu Yunchuan.
"So what are you trying to say? Do you think the children would want to go back to the Fu family with you?"
"Of course I know the young masters don't want to go back to the Fu family, but sometimes it's not something they can just choose not to go back."
Jiang Bai's words were clearly a threat, and he admitted that they would forcibly take the children back when it was too glaring.
Lin Ke's face was extremely unpleasant. Even without turning his head to look, Jiang Bai could imagine how bad Lin Ke's expression was. However, he remained calm and even smiled slightly in an attempt to ease the tense atmosphere.
"But Dr. Lin, you don't need to be so nervous. We won't treat the two young masters like that for the time being. I was just chatting with you casually."
"Just chatting? What a fine 'just chatting'." Lin Ke sneered, his sarcasm dripping with irony.
Jiang Bai didn't seem to care at all, maintaining a calm smile on his face.
"Dr. Lin, are you really not going back to the Yun family? Is there something you need to see Amy about? Do you need my help? From your tone on the phone just now, it sounded like something happened to Amy, right?"
"I quite like Amy. Why don't you tell me what happened to him, and I'll see if I can help. Maybe I can? Right?"
"You have a good impression of him?" Lin Ke asked directly, unaware that his tone was quite different from before.
Jiang Bai maintained a smile throughout.
"I guess so. I think he's a very good person. Otherwise, Miss wouldn't treat him so well. He also has a great personality, and the young masters especially speak highly of him. Who wouldn't want to be friends with someone like that?"
Lin Ke had subconsciously thought that Jiang Bai's comment about having feelings for Amy had another meaning, but now it seemed that Jiang Bai didn't mean it that way. He almost gave himself away.
"He is indeed a good person and has a good personality, but I don't think there's any need for us to be friends with you, especially since he wouldn't want to be friends with you anyway."
"How do you know he doesn't want to be friends with me? What if? How do you know if you haven't even tried?"
"Of course I know," Lin Ke said with certainty.
"Really? You really do know him well. But then again, you went to see him even with your face injured, instead of going home. This shows that you two have a really good relationship."
Jiang Bai's words made Lin Ke pause, then he turned to look at Jiang Bai and asked in a cold tone, "What do you mean by these words?"
"What do you mean? Dr. Lin, I don't quite understand what you're saying. I was just remarking on how good your relationship is. Is that not allowed?" Jiang Bai asked, looking puzzled.
Lin Ke stared at him coldly for a few seconds, then turned away and looked at the road ahead, no longer speaking to Jiang Bai.
Regardless of whether Jiang Bai was really testing him, he felt that there was something wrong with what Jiang Bai had just said.
Jiang Bai didn't think anything of Lin Ke's silence, and just drove quietly until they arrived at their destination. Only then did Jiang Bai speak with a sigh.
"Dr. Lin, the president acted impulsively this time. I apologize on his behalf. I'm really sorry. Could you please help keep this from the young masters? They can't know that their biological father hit someone."
Since you said you sent the person over because you felt bad, you should apologize.
Especially for the young mistress and young masters, if they knew that the president had hit Lin Ke, their dissatisfaction with the president would probably deepen even further.
"A bit impulsive? Yes, your CEO Fu really was a bit too impulsive for Miss Lu. But I won't hide this matter. If the children ask, I will tell them the truth."
Lin Ke refused to accept his apology and got out of the car immediately.
Jiang Bai watched his departing figure, lost in thought. In truth, his words were merely a ruse to prevent Lin Ke from discovering his real purpose in bringing Lin Ke here; he claimed it was to keep the young masters from finding out.
But to be honest, the president did act impulsively today. When the young mistress and young masters saw Lin Ke's injured face, they knew that the president had hit him, so how could they not blame him?
However, it seems that Lin Ke treats Amy a little differently, otherwise he wouldn't have insisted on sending Lin Ke over.
The expression on Lin Ke's face when he was on the phone with Amy was too obvious. Also, he was injured but didn't go back. Instead, he came to find Amy. Is this really okay?
Jiang Bai took out his phone and made a call.
