<h4>Chapter 761: Chapter 757 Lin Qianru Arrives</h4>


    Bai Zhiqing, unsurprisingly as the chairwoman of Bai’s Group, quickly steadied her emotions after a brief moment of panic. Looking at Mand who was preparing to leave, she asked, "Manman, weren’t you going to thepany? Why are you here instead? Has something happened at thepany?"


    "Nothing happened."


    Mand shook her head and said, "It’s just that the intimate photos of you, Sister Zhiqing, with my brother were leaked on various major websites yesterday, which caused arge number of reporters to gather outside the front door of Bai’s Group this morning. They wanted to interview you, Sister Zhiqing, to see if this was a fake news story you purposely created for publicity of Tianhe Resort, or to ask if this matter is real. Sister Zhiqing, you’ll need to decide how to handle this. Should we hold a press conference..."


    "Hold a press conference? I haven’t even troubled them yet and they dare to spout nonsense, growing tired of living! If they provoke me, believe me, I’ll crush them like ants. Just tell the security department to drive all these reporters away, and if they dare to fabricate stories, they better watch out. I can buy out theirpanies in minutes and have them all sacked and sent packing."


    Lu Tianxing spoke before Bai Zhiqing could, his tone especially annoyed. If it hadn’t been for these reporters, the situation wouldn’t have turned out like this. Thankfully, nothing serious happened to either Lin Qianru or Bai Zhiqing, otherwise, he would have felt like tearing that journalist who reported the news into pieces. Hearing about the reporters blocking the door, there was no way he could have a good tone.


    Bai Zhiqing’splexion wasn’t looking good either. Anyone would feel unpleasant hearing their sweet photos with their spouse being described as a publicity stunt, let alone Bai Zhiqing, who was so proud and haughty.


    "Manman, do as Lu Tianxing said. Have the security drive them all away. If they do not know what’s good for them and still dare to nder, tell the legal department of Bai’s Group. I don’t mind making them go bankrupt," said Bai Zhiqing with a frosty expression and an icy tone.


    "No problem, leave it to me, Sister Zhiqing. If these people don’t know their ce, I’ll make sure they pay the price," Mand replied, her mouth curving into a cold smile. Although she wouldn’t kill someone without reason, she could definitely make the lives of those reporters miserable.


    "Bang~" "Bang~"


    Just then, a sudden knocking sound came from the door.


    "Come in."


    Bai Zhiqing nced at the door, her face beginning to take on an expressionless look.


    The door to the hospital room opened, and Lin Qianru walked in. Her pretty face wore an unmistakable look of anxiety, her fingers tightly sped together, turning somewhat pale from the excessive force. Her eyes swept over the room and then paused abruptly.


    "Manager Lin, what are you doing here?" Mand couldn’t help but speak with a hint of hostility in her tone upon seeing Lin Qianru enter. If it wasn’t for Lin Qianru, things wouldn’t have escted to this point.


    "Manman, I asked her toe. You go out and call the security department to handle the reporters," Bai Zhiqing instructed.


    "Sister Zhiqing..."


    Mand opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but ultimately swallowed her words under Bai Zhiqing’s icy gaze and obediently left the special care ward.


    With Mand gone, the atmosphere in the room suddenly tensed, the air seemingly more oppressive, making it hard to breathe.


    Looking at Lin Qianru, Lu Tianxing felt his scalp tingle. He had nned to pacify Bai Zhiqing first before dealing with Lin Qianru, only to find that Lin Qianru hade to the hospital that morning, catching him off-guard. He wanted Lin Qianru to leave first but was at a loss for words on how to broach the subject.


    Bai Zhiqing was silent as well, her gaze fixed not only on Lin Qianru but also on Lu Tianxing. That cold, unwavering stare made Lu Tianxing’s back chill, his heart racing uncontrobly, unable to calm down.


    Lin Qianru stood rigidly in ce, a trace of apprehension coloring her features. She tried to speak up several times to break the silence, but found herself unable to utter a word.


    Besides the faint sound of continuous breathing, the hospital room fell eerily silent for a moment. Lu Tianxing now felt like a criminal standing in court, awaiting judgment, fearful of receiving news he didn’t want to hear.


    After what felt like an eternity, Lu Tianxing could no longer contain himself, "Wife, what... what’s going on here, why is Qian Ru here?"


    "I asked her toe. What, do you have a problem with that?" Bai Zhiqing raised her eyelids slightly, her tone was calm and collected, betraying no hint of her inner thoughts.


    "No, no objections," Lu Tianxing quickly shook his head.


    Listening to the conversation between Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing, Lin Qianru’s nerves were stretched taut. She had received a call from Bai Zhiqing that morning, asking her toe to the hospital. But upon arrival, the scene before her had driven her to the brink of panic, unable to calm down. She had no idea what Bai Zhiqing wanted with her, whether it was to confront her or something else.


    If it came down to confrontation, what would she do? Could she really leave Lu Tianxing?


    Lin Qianru didn’t know, and she dared not think about it, for just pondering the question caused her heart to wrench painfully.


    After a brief silence, Lu Tianxing spoke again, "Wife, why did you ask Qian Ru toe? Is there something you want to discuss?"


    Without looking at Lu Tianxing, Bai Zhiqing said lightly, "Of course, it’s to deal with the matter between the three of us."


    "Didn’t we resolve this issue already?"


    "Resolve?"


    Bai Zhiqing looked at Lu Tianxing and scoffed, "Yesterday, I was only concerned that talking about it at thepany would reflect poorly, so I chose not to say anything."


    Lu Tianxing opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Bai Zhiqing cut him off, "Lu Tianxing, leave the room."


    "Wife, I can just stay here. Besides, your health hasn’t fully recovered, and I..."


    "Get out."


    Bai Zhiqing repeated, her voice now icy cold.


    Lu Tianxing nced at Bai Zhiqing’s frosty expression, hesitated for a brief moment, then sighed and turned to walk out of the room.


    Once Lu Tianxing had left, Bai Zhiqing gazed intently at Lin Qianru before finally saying, "Sit."


    "Zhiqing, I’m sorry, I know I was wrong in this matter, but I beg you, please don’t make me leave Tianxing. Without him, I really don’t know how I’ll carry on. Zhiqing, please give me one more chance, I truly don’t want to leave Tianxing," Lin Qianru pleaded urgently, a trace of desperation on her pretty face. She loved Lu Tianxing, and without him, she couldn’t even imagine what her life would be.
