Life Changing System

There was no response from Bai Chen. Tang Zi Cheng’s face helplessly paled.

The fact that Bai Chen did not reply made him able to guess that Bai Chen did not plan to forgive him and his wife.

Tang Yien’s already pale face became even whiter. Her heart was filled with regret that she had not accepted the vaccine from Bai Chen that day.

After mere seconds passed, Tang Zi Cheng took a deep breath, looking at his wife’s face from the corner of his eye.

All of a sudden, his heart constricted; he blamed himself completely. He had been much too rude to Bai Chen that day.

He thought it was reasonable for Bai Chen to not forgive him. No matter what though, he could not just let his wife, who had been beside him for better or for worse for twenty long years, die.

He took another breath. The gears in his head were turning frantically. He tried to think hard.

Tang Zi Cheng tried to come up with something to say to Bai Chen but could not.

If the young man would not forgive them, the thought of trying to negotiate the purchase of the vaccine for the GT-2 illness had to be shelved.

As for the idea of taking the vaccine by force, Tang Zi Cheng had abandoned it long ago—solely because of Xu Xue Ning’s words, Tang Zi Cheng did not dare try.

If the Tang family was destroyed, he would be the sinner who had brought doom upon his own family!

He did not want any of that. But when he could not come up with anything, Tang Zi Cheng’s expression darkened. He could only stand there with his head hung in shame. Not a single word came to be uttered from his mouth.

It was like Tang Zi Cheng today was totally different from Tang Zi Cheng from the other day.

From a man from a big family who took pride in his power, to a man who could do nothing; Tang Zi Cheng had only himself to blame. There was nothing else he could do.

“Bai Chen, what is all this? You know Uncle Zi Cheng and Auntie Yien?”

After having quelled her surprise, Li Lin tugged on Bai Chen’s suit lightly before asking this.

Her big, bright eyes blinked repeatedly in confusion. She did not understand why the Tang couple, who were from one of the five biggest families in Beijing, had to bow and apologise to Bai Chen like this.

When she asked this, Li Cong Tian and Li Yu also left their astonished trance. Their faces still showed unending curiosity and surprise. They both turned to look as one at Bai Chen.

They were wondering who this Bai Chen was that he could make Tang Zi Cheng and Tang Yien be in such an apologetic state.

Bai Chen was quiet for another while, but he had to answer Li Lin’s question because he liked her. He did not want her to feel bad for not getting an answer to her question.

“I do know them a little,” he said while looking at her face. “Let’s go inside.”

From his words, it was clear he would rather not be in the presence of the Tang couple.

Li Lin blinked as though she was still confused. But she chose not to ask. It seemed like he did not really want to talk about it.

Thus, she nodded before turning to greet the Tang couple. Then she took Bai Chen and walked through the open door into the hall where her parents’ anniversary party was taking place.

“Zi Cheng, what was that about?”

Seeing Bai Chen walked away without saying any words. Li Cong Tian was stunned and curious, frowning.

Not only he who wanted to know, his wife, Li Yu, also wanted to know.

Tang Zi Cheng blinked before sighing for a long moment before he put his arm around Tang Yien’s shoulders to comfort her slightly.

Certainly, he was not planning on giving up. Even if he had to kneel in front of Bai Chen to get the vaccine, he would!

It could not be said that Tang Zi Cheng was not a man of unwavering love!

If one was to ignore his actions that day, Tang Zi Cheng could be said to be a decent man.

He sighed deeply before closing his eyes. His face showed fatigue.

“Zi Cheng...” Li Cong Tian saw that Tang Zi Cheng had not paid attention to his words. He coughed once before speaking quietly.

This time, Tang Zi Cheng turned towards the Lis.

But all of the sudden, his eyes opened wide, his heart thumped hard, and his breathing got heavy. A thought suddenly came into his mind. It was as though the gods in heaven had given his wife a chance at survival.

Tang Zi Cheng hurried over and quickly grasped Li Cong Tian’s hand. “Cong Tian, you must help me!”

Tang Zi Cheng’s voice was loud, as he was filled with excitement.

Li Cong Tian was stunned. He did not understand at all. In fact, both Li Yu and Tang Yien did not understand Tang Zi Cheng either.

Tang Zi Cheng did not care about anything. He quickly asked, “Bai Chen…no, Mr. Bai Chen is Li Lin’s boyfriend, right?”

Li Cong Tian’s face twitched a little. He pulled his hand free from Tang Zi Cheng’s before shaking his head in denial. “No... But it seems that their relationship is quite unusual.”

Clearly, Li Cong Tian knew that Li Lin and Bai Chen were not dating, because if they were, his daughter definitely would have told them.

“But who is Bai Chen? Why would you…erm, have to call him ‘mister’, as well as bow your head and apologize to him?”

Li Cong Tian asked this after having answered Tang Zi Cheng’s question, as he was curious.

Tang Zi Cheng went quiet before recalling that Bai Chen and Long Xu In’s relationship also seemed also unusual. But he did not have time to think about this.

When he thought back to before, of how close Bai Chen was to Li Lin, he was filled with hope.

His idea was to ask Li Cong Tian for his daughter’s help, to have Li Lin persuade Bai Chen for them.

He was sure that Bai Chen would agree because of Li Lin. There would be no refusal and no hesitation, unlike when he had apologized previously.

And because of that, he needed to give a brief account of the situation.

Li Cong Tian and Li Yu were shocked, trembling.

Li Lin’s parents did not want to believe that Tang Yien had a disease as deadly as the GT-2 disease and that Bai Chen had the vaccine for it.

And they were in greater disbelief as to how scary Bai Chen’s background must be for even people of the five biggest families of Beijing to not want to wrong him!
