Chapter 769: Confrontation
The fact that Long Jingyuan had found his long lost son and granddaughter after years was kept a secret.
Although both Huang Zhishu and Bai Chenxi were Bai family members, they remained unaware of this fact.
Two weeks later, Long Jingyuan made a full recovery from his wound and was discharged from the hospital.
As for Long Yifan, or more accurately, Long Xuan, he had also recovered significantly. As he did not wish to remain in the hospital everyday, Fang Xinxin brought him back to the Yu Ting Villa to recover.
It hadn’t been easy for Long Jingyuan to reunite with his son. He naturally followed him to the Yu Ting Villa for a temporary stay.

On this day, Bai Chenxi and Huang Zhishu came to the Yu Ting Villa with the request to see Bai Qinghao.
To their surprise, they were successfully led into Yu Ting Villa’s living room.
Bai Qinghao was sitting on the couch. His posture was upright and his expression was frigidly cold. He carried the aura of a ruler about him.
Fang Xinxin, who was indescribably beautiful, sat by his side.
Bai Chenxi took in Fang Xinxin’s fair skin and stunning beauty. He began to feel a sense of jealousy and anger once more. action
This woman was supposed to be his! He deeply regretted not accepting her feelings back then.
“Qinghao ah, you detained Jingrou when Elder Long became unconscious. So many days have passed since then.” Huang Zhishu glanced at Bai Qinghao carefully and attempted to ask. “Even if she did something wrong, she has received the punishment she deserves. Isn’t it time to release her?”
Bai Qinghao was expressionless. His lips twitched ever so slightly into a hint of smile. He lifted the cigar between his fingers and took a draw. Wisps of smoke rose into the air.
Huang Zhishi could not guess his thoughts and the atmosphere turned awkward.
At this moment, Long Jingyuan, who had gone for a stroll, returned.
When Huang Zhishu saw him, she immediately greeted him warmly. “Elder Long, you’re just in time. Qinghao suspects that Jingrou has bad intentions against you and has detained her. It’s been eighteen days since he put her under guard. Aren’t you doing just fine right now? Jingrou is a child with a good heart. Please speak up for her.”
“That’s right.” Bai Chenxi pitched in as well. “Elder Long, don’t forget that Jingrou is your last living relative. Can you bear to watch her suffer as she remains locked up?”
He had waited with his mother for some time, but the Bai family did not seem to wish to deal with Jingrou in any way.
They thus believed that Long Jingyuan did not tell anyone that Jingrou had attempted to murder him. They assumed that it was because the old man could not bear to lose his only living relative in this world.
Huang Zhishu continued hopefully. “Elder Long, you must have come to the Yu Ting Villa to beg for mercy on behalf of Jingrou, right?”

“Qinghao, let Bai Jingrou out. Let’s resolve this matter,” Long Jingyuan finally spoke up.
Bai Qinghao waved his hand. A bodyguard waiting by the side went to the storeroom in the building next to the main villa and dragged Bai Jingrou over.
Bai Jingrou’s hands were pressed behind her back. She entered the living room to see that both her mother and brother were present. She nodded slightly at them. She then saw Long Jingyuan standing in the living room with his hands behind his back. She was very surprised that the damn old man was still alive!
In that case, the fact that she had smashed a vase over his head could no longer be concealed. She immediately put on a guilty expression and spoke apologetically. “Grandfather!”
“I am not your grandfather.” Long Jingyuan’s wrinkled face was extremely cold.
Bai Jingrou did not know that her status had been exposed and assumed he was still angry at her for plotting to murder him.
She considered the fact that no one had dealt with this matter for so long and felt certain that the old man’s heart must have softened by now. He must not be able to bear to expose her misdeeds.
Thus, she knelt towards Long Jingyuan in tears. “Grandfather, Jingrou was foolish and made a mistake. Please forgive me!”
