CHAPTER 217

"You seem very happy after that phone call. I 1ondrr who you were talking to?" A voice disturbed her thoughts.

Bai Renxiang jolted in shock as she sat up on the bed. She did not notice that her mother was standing at the door a few minutes before the call ended.

"Mum! You scared me," she pouted.

"Oh really now! Is it that I frightened you or you are scared that I walked in on your phone call?" Jiang Meilin asked as she wiggled her eyebrows at her.

Bai Renxiang rolled her eyes. This mother of hers is too much. She stood up from the bed and walked to the door where her mother was leaning on.

"You frightened me. And why were you listening to my conversation on the phone? Have you forgotten the word PRIVACY?" She asked.

"No, I have not forgotten. In my defence, I only heard you talk. So in other words, I did not listen to your conversation," Jiang Meilin defended herself.

"Sigh. Whatever. Come. Let us talking the living room. I do not want to wake Xiaojin up," Bai Renxiang said as she pushed her mother out of the room before closing the door.

"Oh! So you want us to talk in the living room but you talked in the room? Why did you not think that you would disturb your son then?" Jiang Meilin shot her a meaningful look.

"Oh come on, mum. Stop it."

"What? Stop what? Here is your milk," Jiang Meilin passed the cup to Bai Renxiang.

"So tell me. Who was that person you were talking to on the phone earlier?" She asked as they took their seats at the dining table.

?"No one, mum. He is a friend," Bai Renxiang gave a short answer and took a sip of the chilled milk.

"Really?" Jiang Mein cocked a brow at her. "A friend? If 'he' is a friend, why were you smiling and blushing when you picked the call?" Jiang Meilin asked.

"Gasp. I was not blushing, mum. We were just talking and laughing. Just a normal phone call between friends," Bai Renxiang corrected her mother.

"Alright. I will drip the topic."

"Sigh. Thank you." Bai Renxiang lulled into the chair.

"So... Where did you go? If I am not mistaken, you called before you went over to Bai Xiaojin's school."

"Hmm. Something concerning work came up. I had to meet up with my business partner to discuss the issue and solve it..."

Bai Renxiang then went further to tell her mother about Bai Xiaojin's disappearance from the car. Jiang Mei could hardly believe what she was being told. But seeing the serious look on her daughter's face, she knew for sure that the matter was not a joke.

After they finished talking, the two of them retired to their rooms to call it a night. Bai Renxiang could not sleep so she decided to look at some of the documents she brought home from the company.

Just as she was going through the documents, she noticed something in the financial report. Although all the sales and profits for the past three months were presented on the sheet of paper, don't go g still did not add up.

On closer look, she found out that a huge amount of money was missing from the company. It was very suspicious.

It was recorded in the account that three million yuan was used to buy a certain product for the company. But when she checked the file concerning the purchase of the last three months, the product was not recorded.

That means it was not bought but it was recorded in the financial report that the money was used. It was the same for the other two months also.

It only meant one thing. Someone is embezzling the company's money.

Bai Renxiang could not take the matter lying down. She could not let such hidden activity like the embezzlement of the company's financial income when it was her time to run the company. Her regime.

It would not tell well on her reputation if such a thing should be let out. She needed to deal with this thief as soon as possible. Old man Jiang will be returning from his vacation. In two days.

By then, he might call for a meeting or do a random inspection on the past events of the company while he was away. If he should find out about it, it would be very disappointing that she let such an act pass under her nose.

"I have two days. Two days to fish out this money thief and deal with him before grandpa returns," Bai Renxiang said in a low whisper.

She pondered on what she could do. Bai Renxiang picked up her phone to place a call across someone. But when her gaze fell upon the time displayed boldly on her screen, she paused. 

It was already past two in the morning. She doubt if he would be awake by this time.

"I will just tell him to help me to find out about it when I see him tomorrow. But for now, Bai Renxiang, you need to finish reading the last document and catch a quick sleep," she said before burning her head in the papers on the desk.

By the time she was done and had a mind to sleep, it was already a few minutes to three o'clock. She just had a maximum of three hours to get some rest before she was up and doing. She still had to prepare for the day's normal routine.

****

The day became bright as quickly as she could imagine. Bai Renxiang groaned in her sleep as the annoying ringing sound of the alarm disturb her.

Sighing in frustration at the incessant noise, she instantly sat up from her bed and turned the alarm off.

"Stop screaming already. I am up," she said to the clock.

Mumbling different angry words and a few curses, Bai Renxiang dragged her feet to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash tge sleep off of her face.

"Damn girl! You are so beautiful with or without make and when you wake up," she complimented her look in the mirror.

It was one of the things apart from binge-watching Ning Xiaozhi had taught her to do.

"Always praise and compliment yourself every time you wake up and look in the mirror. You do not need a guy or anyone else to tell you how you look and what you want to feel like. That way, your confidence in yourself will be boosted. You can never feel underestimated in front of anyone," Ning Xiaozhi would say.

"Sigh. You are wonderful and unique in your own way, Bai Renxiang. You have a great and supportive family. You also have great friends and an excellent job. You are a dream to someone out there, whether you like it or not," she said to herself.

"Thank you for allowing me to be surrounded by wonderful people, God. You are the man," Bai Renxiang added before she took her leave from the bathroom.

She placed a light kiss on Bai Xiaojin's forehead before heading to the kitchen to see what she could put together for the breakfast of the day and also Bai Xiaojin's lunch.

When she was almost done with the food, Jiang Mein walked into tge Kitchen.

"Good morning, sweetheart," she greeted and packed Bai Renxiang in the cheek.

"Good morning, mum. How was your night?" Bai Renxiang asked?

"Sigh. It was good. You woke up so early," Jiang Meilin said as her eyes scanned tge dishes Bai Renxiang had prepared before she came.

"Yeah. I slept late last night. So before going to bed, I set an alarm that I could get up early," Bai Renxiang said.

"Oh! You could not sleep?"

"Hmm. I just did some paperwork to keep myself busy, that's all."

Jiang Meilin just nodded her head and smiled. Her daughter had turned out to be a very hardworking woman and a mother. She was so proud to be the mother of such a woman. The heavens blessed her.

After cleaning the kitchen and setting the table with the help of her mother, Bai Renxiang woke Bai Xiaojin ok and helped him shower and brush his teeth as he wanted. Then she went ahead to take hers.

By the time they came out of their room, Shin and Shane were already in the house. They exchanged pleasantries and went to have their breakfast.

"Shane?!" Bai Renxiang called.

"Yes, sis."

"Can you help me to check something out? It is about the company," she asked.

"Yeah sure. What is it?" Shane said as he paused in his eating to pay attention to whatever she needed his help for something. It was the first time she has asked him to do something for her. 

"I found something pretty interesting when u was looking at some documents yesterday night," she paused.

"What did you find?" Jiang Meilin asked.

"Someone is stealing from the company."
