Playboy CEO Has a Baby

CHAPTER 369

"She is what now?" Bai Ming shouted.

"Lower down your voice. I am in no mood to entertain your screams," Lin Ying rolled her eyes at her daughter.

Now she seems to be more attentive to the news. When she said it earlier in the living room, she pretended to be deaf. Lin Ying sighed and walked to the dressing table opposite the king-sized bed.

Taking her seat, she carefully took off her earrings, bracelets and make-up. All through the while, her eyes were fixed on her stupified daughter through the mirror.

She could see that Bai Ming was still trying to process what she had said. Yet again, another sigh for the nth time today escaped her lips. What was so hard to comprehend in what she had said?

"Mummy, are you sure... you are sure of what you just said? Bai R-Renxiang? The CEO of that multi-billion company? Jiang Corp... Corporation," Bai Ming stuttered.

"Sigh. What is wrong with you today? How many times do you want me to repeat what I have just said? You know I do not like saying one thing twice and I have already done that," Lin Ying was getting irritated.

"If you don't get it, forget about it then. After all, you said so yourself. You are too tired to be in the mood to listen to me."

"Mum?! What did do? I already apologised," Bai Ming huffed in anger.

"An apology is not what I am seeking right now. I want your brain to start functioning well. Your stepsister has inherited a huge company and you have not succeeded in making more than half of the board members think you worthy of being CEO of Bai Jewelries."

Lin Ying was harsh with her words. Now was not the time to sugarcoat them or pet talk Bai Ming like a child. She had been doing that for so long that Bai Ming has become relaxed in dealing with this issue.

"That is so not true, mum."

"Is it? Then tell me what is true?" Lin Ying turned on the small stool to face Bai Ming.

"First of all, I have indeed managed to convince a little bit more than half of those board members. There are just ten of them remaining.," Bai Ming said as she flipped her hair with pride.

"Ten of them? Just ten of them out of twenty-five?" Lin Ying scoffed.

"Well, what do you want from me. Those men are hard to convince and I can't and will never ever use my body as a price for supporting me," Bai Ming's face scrunched up in utter disgust.

"Of course, not dear. Who said anything about using your body? You have the brains and work to convince anyone. You just have to work harder and focus. Take a little help from your boyfriend in fact," Lin Ying suggested.

"I have already done that. I came up with a good business plan and he agreed to do business with our company. It was what I used to win over, the first five board members," Bai Ming smiled.

"Then what about the other ten?"

"Well, through my designs I had made from the ones I took from Bai Renxiang before she left the cosmonaut and our house. I just made a few modifications here and there. Everyone was blown away by the results."

"Okay. That means you have to come up with more ideas for new designs. The ones you took from Bai Renxiang would get exhausted one day," Lin Ying reminded her.

"I know mum. I have been taking some other extra online classes recently, I can boast that the design I presented to the board in this meeting was mine," Bai Ming said in excitement.

"Really? Did they like it?" Lin Ying asked expectantly.

"Yes, they did. Dad was so proud of me."

"He had better be. You are as talented as he is if not even more than him," Lin Ying said.

"So, but today was very stressful. We had to do so many things for the fashion show that dad is planning to do. That was why I came home so exhausted. And then instead of a warm welcome, my mother chose to throw my juice away and scold me," Bai Ming said with a pout.

"With. I am sorry, baby. I was just so worked up by today's news. You should have seen what that Bai Renxiang looked like. I even mistook her for those high-class women in the society," Lin Ying said.

"High-class woman my foot," Bai Ming sneered. "Who knows if she slept with the owner of that company and deceived him to give her the company instead of a member of his family."

"Well, I would have thought so too. But that is not the case this them dear. Did you not hear the name of the company I called?"

"I did. Is it not Jiang Corporation?" Bai Ming asked.

"It is. Does the name, Juang not ring a bell in your head?" Lin Ying raised her brows at her.

"Jiang Corp... Oh my! Jiang. I know that name I have heard it before... She is the one. That woman. The one that you tool dad away from," Bai Ming snapped her fingers several times– a habit she adopted whenever she was trying to remember something.

"Jiang Meilin," Lin Ying dropped the name.

"Yes. That is the name. Jiang Meilin," Bai Ming repeated the name so as not to forget it again.

"It was so easy to chase her out of this mansion and become the madam," Lin Ying said with an evil smirk on her face.

"So that woman is the daughter from the Jiang family. It is no wonder that Bai Renxiang is the CEO of the company," Bai Mong realized her mistake.

"Yes. So you can see that she did not sleep with anyone for that. She inherited it from her grandfather who was once the CEO of the company. But now she is the one in that position he has become the Chairman."
