Playboy CEO Has a Baby

CHAPTER 368

After the maid left to carry out Bai Ming's order, the living room fell silent. Bai Ming closed her eyes and massaged her temples. She totally ignored her mother's presence.

Seeing as she was being ignored, Lin Ying could not take it. There was something very important she had to tell Bai Ming but the latter was not even concerned.

This was not a time to sit down, relax or rest with a glass of cold apple juice. This was time to be on their toes and strategise the next best thing to do.

"Bai Renxiang is the CEO of Jiang Corporation," Lin Ying broke the news to her.

It was as if Bai Ming did not hear what Lin Ying had just said. She was still massaging her temples and her eyes were still closed. Lin Ying's brows furrowed in anger.

"I—"

"Here is the glass of apple juice you asked for young miss," the maid, Li Na came in with the juice served in a glass and brought in on a tray.

"Took you long enough," Bai Ming took the glad of juice. "You can go now. But not too far. I may call you back later. Keep your ears open."

"Yes, young miss," Li Na quickly bowed before taking her leaves from the living room.

She could see that her madam, Lin Ying was getting furious. She did not want to get caught up in the hurricane that was about to start.

Just as Bai Ming was about to drink from the glass cup, Lin Ying slapped the cup away from her hands. The falling and breaking of the cup made a loud sound shocking both Bai Ming and the maid that had just gotten to the kitchen to wait for the next order.

"MUM?!" Bai Ming screamed as she stared wide-eyed at her now furious mother.

"Young miss," Li Na came rushing into the living room to see if anyone was hurt.

She heaved a silent sigh of relief when she saw that Bai Ming and Lin Ying were both unhurt.

She quickly rushed to get something clean from the glass shards on the tiled floor. Meanwhile, Bai Ming swallowed whatever words she wanted to blurt out as she saw the deadly glare her mother was shooting at her. She wondered what she must have done wrong to make her mother mad enough to slap a glass cup filled with the apple juice that did not slip out of her hand. Bai Ming was lucky that she quickly moved her legs to the side. If she was not quick enough, the limited white Channel dress would have been stained with the juice.

Just then, the maid came back with a broom in one hand and a packer in the other. She swept the glass shards together before packing them and running out of the living room.

"Mum... Why did you... What did I do?" Bai Ming asked in a soft voice, her lips were pouty.

"Why? You are asking me what you did? The nerve you have got," Lin Ying bellowed at her.

"Mum, I–"

"Save it. I told you something very very important and what did you do? You behaved as if you did not hear me. You acted as if I was not even standing in front of you. I might have spoiled you but I did not teach you how to disrespect me and your father," Lin Ying scolded her.

"I was too tired to hear anything, okay? Today was very very stressful for me. I am so drained out. Can't you see that?" Bai Ming retorted.

"Well, I am too. Can't you also see how worried I am about your future? About our future? You are not the only one who has a lot on your mind. You know what? You will have more to deal with once she comes to take everything from you. Everything you have so worked hard for."

With that said, Lin Ying hissed and walked angrily up the stairs to her room. Bai Ming could only just watch as her mother left her dumbfounded.

"What does she mean by our future? Who is she talking about?"

'...take everything from you.'

"Urgh. I can't even think well right now. Li Na, get me another glass of Apple juice immediately," Bai Ming barked her order.

"Yes, young miss."

After Li Na hurriedly came with the juice, Bai Ming gulped half of the content and passed the glass cup back to the maid.

"Young miss... Is everything alright with madam? She looked furious," Li Na tried to know.

"Don't poke that little nose of yours into our business. You might never know what will happen to your job."

Bai Ming's words held a tinge of threat in it. Li Na gulped loudly and lowered her head as she muttered an apology.

Seeing that the maid got the message clearly, Bai Ming nodded her head. "Take this back. I am going to my room."

"Huh? B-But what about dinner, young miss? It is ready. Should I serve it at the dining table and call for you and madam?" Li Na asked.

"I don't know... In fact, no. I have lost my appetite. So don't disturb me for dinner," Bai Ming said before she left for her room.

"Sigh. What a waste of good food. The chef will be sad once again," Li Na murmured as she walked back to the kitchen.

Since no one would be eating dinner, she decided to call a day and retire early to bed. Meanwhile, Bai Ming only went to her room to drop her bag and heels. After that, she took off the jewellery she wore and went to her parent's room where Lin Ying was.

On getting there, she knocked three times before she pushed the door and walked in.

"Mum... I'm sorry about earlier. Can I come in?"

"You are already inside."

"So, what is it that you wanted to tell me?"

"The CEO of Jiang Corporation is your stepsister."

"She is what?"
