Chapter 573: Chapter 569 Preparing to Leave Modu

Bai Zhiqing was stunned for a moment, staring at Mandala who was holding her own arms. She didn’t come back to her senses for a while, and it was at this moment that Lu Tianxing walked over and said, "Wife, let me introduce you."

"I don’t need your introduction!"

Mandala glanced at Lu Tianxing and, pulling Bai Zhiqing close with a warm smile, said, "Hello sister-in-law, my name is Mandala, everyone calls me Manman. I’m Brother Tianxing’s sister and I’m here in Modu for a vacation. I hope you’ll take good care of me."

Bai Zhiqing’s gaze fell on Lu Tianxing as if asking, Is she telling the truth?

Feeling Bai Zhiqing’s inquiring eyes, Lu Tianxing nodded and said, "She is a friend’s sister who recently came to Modu for a visit. Her brother was planning to come with her, but unfortunately, he got caught up with sudden work and couldn’t make it, so he entrusted me to look after her. She will be staying with us for a while. I was planning to pick her up and go directly to the office to tell you."

"I see."

Bai Zhiqing nodded and looked at Mandala more gently, "Manman, hi, I am sorry, I misunderstood you just now. I hope you won’t hold it against me."

"It’s alright, big sister, don’t worry about it. I can’t believe my lucky brother got to marry such a beautiful woman like you."

Mandala said with a face full of admiration, "No wonder my brother always stayed in Modu and never visited or called me. It turns out he was with his wife and forgot all about his sister."

Bai Zhiqing seemed to enjoy Mandala’s flattery and, with a smile beaming on her face, said, "Manman, don’t be mad, your brother didn’t do it on purpose. Forgive him this once. If he forgets you again, I’ll teach him a lesson for you, how about that?"

"Yeah, yeah."

Mandala nodded continuously and then provocatively glanced at Lu Tianxing, saying, "Bro, did you hear that? If you dare to bully me again, I’ll have my sister-in-law beat you till you cry for your parents. Humph. Sister-in-law, I heard you are the Chairwoman of Bai’s Group, why don’t you take me to see your company? I’ve never seen a big company before!"

"No problem."

Bai Zhiqing smiled warmly and walked with Mandala to her BMW.

Seeing Bai Zhiqing and Mandala getting along harmoniously, Lu Tianxing quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He had asked Mandala to come to protect Bai Zhiqing. If Bai Zhiqing and Mandala didn’t get along, it would have been a waste of effort. Luckily, they were getting on well, which saved him a lot of trouble.

As he saw them getting into the car, Lu Tianxing quickly followed, wanting to get in as well; but before he could reach the BMW, Bai Zhiqing started the car and sped away, leaving him alone. Lu Tianxing stood dumbfounded with his hand poised to open the car door. "Damn, what is this situation, leaving me behind like that?"

"Damn, you can’t just ditch someone like this."

Watching the BMW disappear, Lu Tianxing, on the verge of tears, hurriedly pulled out his phone and dialed Bai Zhiqing’s number, which was picked up immediately: "Wife, how could you be so cruel? How could you leave me behind? Have you forgotten our solemn oath? By doing this, aren’t you letting our friendship capsize? If you don’t come back, I might just have to throw our friendship overboard."

"Hee hee, bro, quit your whining—it’s me on the line." Mandala’s crisping voice came through the phone.

"Manman? Let your sister-in-law take the phone."

"Bro, sister-in-law said this is your punishment for not informing her when you were coming to pick me up, letting her get embarrassed. That’s your penalty. Okay, bro, I won’t talk more, phone calls are expensive. You can walk back or take a cab!"

After Mandala’s final word, she hung up the phone.

Hearing the dial tone from the phone, Lu Tianxing was dumbstruck. He was almost certain that it wasn’t Bai Zhiqing’s idea but Mandala stirring things up.

"Damn, was I finding a helper or just brought someone who enjoys messing with me?"

Lu Tianxing cursed inwardly and helplessly waited for a taxi to head to Bai’s Group.

Sitting in the taxi, Lu Tianxing had already made up his mind that next time, no matter what, he would drive his own car. Depending on taxis was not worth the hassle; who knew when these two gals would leave him stranded again, ultimately hurting only his wallet.

By the time Lu Tianxing reached Bai’s Group it was already past one in the afternoon. Walking towards the elevator, he headed to the top floor. Just as he stepped out of the elevator, he was stopped by Secretary Lan.

"Secretary Lan, can’t you stop holding me up every time? I’ve done everything I could for you already. If it’s about your mom wanting to invite me to dinner, don’t even mention it; I really can’t help with that," Lu Tianxing said with a wry smile.

Lan Xin snorted, "Who needs you for that? I was just curious why you were late today—it doesn’t fit your usual style?"

Lu Tianxing was slightly taken aback: "My style? What do you mean?"

"Yes, your style."

Lan Xin nodded and continued, "In the past, although you were often late, you managed to arrive before mealtime, but today you didn’t even make that. It totally doesn’t fit your style. Lu Tianxing, don’t tell me you planned to skip work today and rushed over because you heard that Mr. Bai had brought back a beautiful girl!"

Watching Lan Xin’s disdainful expression, Lu Tianxing was truly amazed by her wild imagination. To lay a hand on Mandala was something he couldn’t dare to do even with ten times the courage. Mandala, like Bai Weiwei, was a complete little devil—no, to be precise, even more terrifying than Bai Weiwei because Mandala was skilled in using poison. You never knew when your meal might contain some unexpected laxatives, enough to completely break you down.

Yet, you couldn’t do anything about it. Whenever you approached her, she would always put on a pitiful face, evoking your sympathy.

"Lu Tianxing, you wouldn’t really be planning to hit on her, would you?"

Seeing that Lu Tianxing remained silent, Lan Xin looked at him with a surprised expression and then disdainfully said, "You really are a pervert."

"Hehe, why would I hit on her? If I were to hit on anyone, it would be you. You’re much prettier than she is. Don’t you think? Little beauty."

Lu Tianxing chuckled, his fingers touching his chin, his gaze roaming over Lan Xin, the palpable look causing the young beauty to blush.

"Get lost, jerk. A dog’s mouth can’t spit out ivory. I’m too good for you. It’d be best if Mr. Bai caught you and kicked you out of Bai’s Group, you hypocritical beast."

Lan Xin huffed coldly, gave Lu Tianxing a look, and decisively turned her back on him.

Lu Tianxing shrugged his shoulders and ignored Lan Xin, heading straight into the office.

Inside the office, Bai Zhiqing and Mandala were chatting and laughing. Upon seeing Lu Tianxing enter, they immediately stopped talking and turned their gaze to him.

Lu Tianxing disregarded the two women, walked expressionlessly to his desk, opened his computer, and prepared to play some games to console his wounded heart.

"Brother, wait a moment, please come here. You shouldn’t be sitting there, don’t dirty it. Hurry up and sit on the sofa," Mandala said as she looked at Lu Tianxing.

"What do you mean? Why can’t I sit here?" Lu Tianxing asked Mandala, puzzled, wondering what new tricks these two women were planning.

"No special meaning. I just told your sister-in-law that starting today, I am the Assistant to the Chairman of Bai’s Group, which means your place now belongs to me," Mandala said, holding her head high with a proud look.

"You? Assistant to the Chairman of Bai’s Group?"

Lu Tianxing looked skeptical.

"Brother, what’s with that look? You think I’m like you? The kind of dropout who hasn’t even been to college? I graduated from Harvard University’s Department of Finance. Being an assistant is more than enough for me, and besides, I’ve already planned it out. I’ll learn management tactics from your sister-in-law and accumulate some impressive skills. Soon, I’ll start my own company and become a powerful businesswoman," Mandala said disdainfully, sensing Lu Tianxing’s skeptical gaze.

"Damn it!"

Hearing Mandala’s words, Lu Tianxing nearly spat out blood. Damn it, so what if he hadn’t been to college? His wife was the chairperson of Bai’s Group, and even college graduates had to work for her. Nowadays, having real skills was what truly mattered.

"Brother, you’re not upset, are you?"

"Not upset. It’s pretty good that you’re becoming an assistant. Actually, I need to leave Modu for a few days soon. There’s some business I need to take care of."

No sooner had Lu Tianxing finished speaking than Bai Zhiqing couldn’t help but interject, "Lu Tianxing, I didn’t know you were leaving Modu."

"I was planning to tell you tonight," Lu Tianxing said to Bai Zhiqing.

"Why suddenly leave?"

"Last night, I took out Duan Ren, offending the Yanhuang Group. Sima Ling Yun helped me suppress this matter. I need to repay him by helping capture a wanted criminal from the Yanhuang Group..."

Lu Tianxing began explaining to Bai Zhiqing, not mentioning that he was going to accompany Lin Qianru to Hang City but using Sima Ling Yun as a scapegoat instead.

Hearing what Lu Tianxing said, Bai Zhiqing nodded, "I understand. Just be careful. If you encounter someone you can’t defeat, run as far as you can. I will wait for you in Modu."

Lu Tianxing breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words. He had not expected her to be so accommodating this time.

However, Mandala looked excited, "Hahaha, my brother is finally leaving. Starting now, I’m also the Assistant to the Chairman of a big group. Whoever tells me again that having a degree is useless, I’ll slap them dead. Also, brother, could you take a picture of me and your wife? I want to send it to Little Bee, let him be jealous and stop flaunting all the time."

Saying that, Mandala pulled out the latest model of the Apple phone from her pocket, shoved it into Lu Tianxing’s hands without waiting for agreement, and dashed to Bai Zhiqing’s side, hugging her arm, while her other hand flashed a peace sign.

Lu Tianxing, with a dark expression, took the phone and snapped a photo of Mandala and Bai Zhiqing. He was now absolutely sure that Mandala’s help was secondary; her real intent was to torment him.
