Chapter 378: Bai Ting Realizes
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Si Cheng was extremely busy now. Although he had been managing the company in the past, he had never come into contact with the situation at the bottom.
As the heir of the Si family, he was already a manager when he entered the company, so he was not clear about many things.
Now that he had to do everything himself, he began to feel powerless.
However, he did not dare to say it out loud. He was going to start a business with all his savings. If he revealed his cowardice now, it would really be over.
Si Cheng gritted his teeth and endured it. However, there were some things that he really didn’t know, so he could only find someone to ask.
However, no one would teach him for no reason these days. Si Cheng felt that everything was very difficult.
At this moment, he thought of Bai Ting. The two families had held an engagement banquet. Logically speaking, she was still his fiancee. She should help him.
At the thought of this, he quickly changed into his most decent clothes and rang the Bai family’s doorbell.
When the servant came over and saw that it was Si Cheng, she did not dare to open the door. After all, after Miss returned home that day, she had ordered that the family would no longer entertain any members of the Si family.
“What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and tell your Miss that I’m here,” Si Cheng urged.
The servant was not sure how to treat Si Cheng, so she could only run back to report to Bai Ting.
When Bai Ting heard this news, she was a little puzzled. Previously, the two families had already been in such a mess, but Si Cheng still had the cheek to look for her.
She had clearly said in public that she wanted to break off the engagement. Moreover, the Si family had gone bankrupt. Logically speaking, she should not want to see her ex again. Si Cheng was different.
Bai Ting still had some feelings in her heart that she could not forget. She nodded and said, “Let him in.”
When Si Cheng walked in, Bai Ting was in a daze for a moment. It seemed to be the afternoon when they first met again. He pushed the door open and entered, looking extraordinarily handsome.
He had specially dressed up for today’s meeting. Not only was he wearing the best clothes, but he also had his hair done. He looked no different from the previous Young Master Si, as if nothing had ever happened to the Si family. “Why are you looking for me?” Bai Ting suppressed the throbbing in her heart and asked.
Si Cheng said, “I’m investing in a business and starting my own company. I want to ask you for help.”
These words made Bai Ting’s heart turn cold. No wonder he dressed up so well and came to look for her. He wanted the Bai family to help him.
She picked up the coffee cup in her hand with an unreadable expression. Si Cheng saw that she had not spoken for a long time and was a little anxious. However, he knew that he was here to beg her, so he could only endure it and wait.
Bai Ting thought about her liking for Si Cheng and also remembered the humiliation the Si family had given her at the banquet. After all, she was the eldest daughter of the Bai family and had held an engagement party with Si Cheng.
However, he and his mother actually publicly said that it was just a joke and didn’t count. Then, they begged Jiang An to remarry Si Cheng and trample on the Bai family’s dignity.
Bai Ting was not someone who would forget the pain after a wound healed. The humiliation at that time was still vivid in her mind, so she would not help Si Cheng no matter what.
However, she refused to open her mouth and left Si Cheng hanging at the side. She watched as his calmness turned into anxiety in the beginning. In the end, he even started to sweat. He no longer had the elegant demeanor he had when he entered.
At this moment, Bai Ting finally realized that she didn’t like Si Cheng at all. Previously, she had only liked Si Cheng’s appearance. He was just a sh.e.l.l.
“Our family started out as an educational inst.i.tution. We can’t help you. Please go back,” Bai Ting said after finishing her coffee.
Si Cheng also expected her to reject him. After all, the engagement had been annulled previously. He lowered his head and said, “After all, we were engaged before. We invited so many people to the engagement banquet previously. If you don’t help the Si family now that they’re in trouble, it won’t be good for your reputation in the future.”
Bai Ting smiled coldly. “If they want to say that, they’re free to go ahead. Our family won’t help you. You’ve provoked the famous G.o.d of Slaughter, Mr. Zou. Our family won’t dare to go against him no matter how bold we are.”
Si Cheng was anxious. “You’re not even willing to help me at all. All you have to do is say a few words to make things easier for me.”
Bai Ting snorted. “Our Bai family doesn’t owe you anything. Why should we help you? Don’t talk about the engagement. I’ve already said in front of everyone that I wanted to break off the engagement. Your family betrayed me and you wanted to remarry Jiang An. If others want to laugh, they’ll laugh at you.”
Si Cheng opened his mouth but could not say anything. He was indeed unreasonable.
In his impression, Bai Ting was a gentle girl. That was why he wanted to visit her and ask for help. He would be able to persuade her with a few good words. He did not expect her to reject him so firmly..
