Chapter 2462: Hoisted with His Own Petard
"They are very kind; as long as I like it, they won’t oppose." Bai Zheng confidently parted his lips, looking at Ye Zhanxing with an honest gaze.
"You are the eldest son of the Bai Family and its heir. Logically, if you and Mingmei really get together, then Meimei will become your daughter. The eldest daughter is just like the eldest son, both having inheritance rights in the family. Wouldn’t you mind that your possessions might become someone else’s?"
Ye Zhanxing lifted the teacup on the table, and leisurely parted his lips.
The words spoken sounded harmless, just casual conversation with Bai Zheng, but upon careful analysis, one could find the hidden traps within.
"If we really were together, I would treat Meimei as my own daughter. Even if I gave her everything I have in the future, it wouldn’t be giving to an outsider."
Bai Zheng slightly narrowed his eyes and answered in a calm tone.
Yet the hand at his side silently clenched into a fist, with cold sweat in his palm.
He didn’t know if Ye Zhanxing had already sensed anything, but every one of his questions seemed to deliberately or inadvertently mention the Bai Family.
He even kept using Meimei to test his limits.
It seemed that as long as he had the slightest difficulty accepting Meimei, he could not take a step closer to Ye Mingmei, yet if he showed too much care for Meimei, it would appear suspicious.
After all, Meimei is Yu Xiuzhun’s daughter, not Bai Zheng’s.
No matter how identical their faces, a father-daughter bond cannot arise without reason.
"Mr. Ye, Mr. Jin has arrived, saying he’s here to take Meimei and the young lady to the amusement park." The butler came in from the yard, respectfully reporting to Ye Zhanxing.
