Chapter 641: Chapter 641: The Unyielding Young Flame

After comparing the time of birth and blood type, the Zong Mao couple essentially had a hundred percent certainty that this little girl was the blood of Zong Zhe!

To prevent their granddaughter from being too unfamiliar with them, they intentionally made a series of donations to the granddaughter’s school. That afternoon, they even received flowers delivered by their granddaughter on the stage as a representative of the first-year students.

Only after these preparations did they come to Yan Bo to reveal their cards.

However, to their surprise, Yan Bo vehemently denied that Bai Lu was the offspring of the Zong family.

"Elder Zong, I’m sorry, Bai Lu is the child of my good friend, Bai Shao, and that’s all. The rest is just your conjecture."

Only then did the Zong Mao couple realize that they had probably underestimated the relationship between Yan Bo and Bai Shao.

They never expected that in addition to the relationship between Zhu Qianying and Bai Shao, there was also the relationship between Chen Jing and Bai Xiangdong. Most importantly, the relationship between their baby boy and Bai Xiaolu.

As far as Yan Bo is concerned, if he doesn’t protect Bai Xiaolu well, he won’t be able to explain to his wife, mother-in-law, and son.

"Yan Bo, what will it take for you to give Bai Lu back to us?"

At this point, Zong Mao, had put away his anger, because the facts seemed more complicated and more difficult than he imagined.

So, as long as the child could safely return to their side, they were willing to pay any price.

Unfortunately, what they have, Yan Bo has. What they don’t have, Yan Bo also has.

"Elder Zong, I’m sorry, but for me, Bai Lu is only Bai Shao’s child. Bai Shao gave the child to me, and I will protect her safety at any cost. So, Elder Zong, you’d better stop thinking about Bai Lu. If you insist, I don’t mind accompanying you to the end."

Yan Bo’s words were neither humble nor arrogant, but conveyed a very clear meaning.

If Zong Mao wanted to forcefully take away Bai Lu, he wouldn’t hesitate to become enemies with the Zong family.

Zong Mao was stunned for a moment. It wasn’t that he feared the Yan family or Yan Bo, but he certainly had concerns.

After all, in many ways, the Yan family was on par with their Zong family. However, the Yan family had the support of the old Yan family in the capital city.

Although it seemed that the old Yan family had always dismissed Yan Bo and his grandson, over the years, no one dared to disrespect the old Yan family.

After weighing all these factors, Zong Mao’s attitude became much more careful, but that did not mean he would give up on his precious granddaughter.

"Yan Bo, you should know very well whether Bai Lu is Ah Hui’s child. I hope you can consider it carefully and give us the child."

Zong Mao and his wife only had one son, Zong Zhe. From the moment Zong Zhe died, they had mentally prepared themselves that besides each other, there would be no one to send them off at the end.

So, when the couple learned about Bai Lu, Zong Mao immediately ran to thank their ancestors emotionally.

Yan Bo also formally told Zong Mao, "Elder Zong, as far as I’m concerned, Bai Xiaolu is only Bai Shao’s daughter, and my responsibility is to protect her."

"Anything else is Bai Shao’s private affair, and neither you nor I have the right to interfere. So, I hope that this matter ends here. Please stop disturbing Xiaoliu’s quiet life."

During the not-so-long negotiation between Yan Bo and Zong Mao, the bodyguards, who had been hiding in the dark, had already moved into the store. Two of them were guarding the entrance to the second floor, and three of them were standing directly behind Yan Bo, ready to act at any moment.

At this point, let alone the fact that Zong Mao and his wife were already in their fifties or sixties, even young and vigorous men wouldn’t dare to act arrogantly in front of Yan Po.

Recognizing the situation, the Zong Mao couple had to compromise. This time, Madame Zong, Liu Su, took a new approach and pleaded pitifully.

"Yan Bo, let’s not mention this for now. But can we see the child? She’s grown up so much, and we’ve never held her before..."

As Madame Zong spoke, her voice choked slightly.

Yan Bo wasn’t indifferent to their feelings, but when it comes to Bai Xiaolu’s safety, he wouldn’t dare to take it lightly.

"Madame Zong, I’m sorry! Please go back!"

Yan Bo stood up and gestured for them to leave.

Left with no choice, the Zong Mao couple had to get up and leave.

On the way out, they still reluctantly looked towards the second floor because they heard from the waitress that the boss lady’s family was having dinner upstairs.

Unfortunately, their wish to see Bai Lu fell through because, in the corridor on the second floor, besides two tall young men standing there, there was no trace of the little girl.

Yan Bo stood in the store, watching the pair get in the car through the glass. Only when the car left the store did he get up and return to the second floor.

The waitstaff and customers downstairs had all been properly sent away by Xiao Tao when Yan Bo went downstairs, so there was no one left in the store except for a few bodyguards.

Yan Bo came to the door of the private room and paused for a moment. It seemed that life was going to be a bit turbulent from then on.

After collecting his thoughts, he pushed the door and entered the room. Yan Bo first apologized to Chen Jing.

"Mom, I’m sorry, I had some urgent matters to discuss with a friend just now, and so I turned away the guests downstairs. Don’t worry, I have properly taken care of and calmed down the guests. It won’t cause any negative impact."

At first, everyone didn’t pay much attention to him going out, thinking he would come back after a few words.

Later when he didn’t return for a while, Zhu Qianying wanted to go out and see what was going on, but was stopped at the door by Xiao Tao.

Of course, his excuse was the same as Yan Bo’s.

Chen Jing wasn’t worried about the restaurant, just worried about Yan Bo, "Are you okay?"

With that, a concerned look in her eyes scanned Yan Bo from head to toe.

"Mom, of course I’m okay. What could happen from just talking with a friend?"

Everyone seemed to have no doubt, except for Zhu Qianying.

However, even though Zhu Qianying had a vague sense of something, she never linked it to Bai Xiaolu.

She thought it was either about Yi Wei or the Zhu family.

So, when they returned home, settled the children, and the couple returned to their room, Zhu Qianying was shocked when Yan Bo told her about the visit of the Zong Mao couple. She dropped her mobile phone on the floor in surprise.

"They found out so soon?" Zhu Qianying asked worriedly, bending over to pick up the phone from the carpet.

Yan Bo nodded, "Zong Zhe’s parents probably had some feelings for Bai Shao, otherwise they wouldn’t have helped arrange Uncle Dong’s surgery and had Jiang Qi accompany him. You know, after Zong Zhe died, Jiang Qi was practically like their half-son, helping them manage most of the Zong family’s affairs."

"As for Xiaolu, I guess they thought she was Bai Shao’s child with someone else, until they met Xiaolu."
