The Domineering Boss is Addicted to the Convict novel Chapter 1117

He smiled faintly. "Could she and I possibly have a pleasant conversation? In the Bai family, she's probably the one who wants me dead the most."

Qin Lianyi thought about it. 'That's true. Bai Tingxin is now in charge of the Bai family, so the first wife and her family are naturally dying with rage.’

"They were the ones who set up the meeting you had with Gao Jingrong today. They want to take the opportunity of the marriage between the Bai family and the Gao family to help them regain their rights to the Bai family," said Bai Tingxin.

Qin Lianyi blinked. "But if they're going to use the Gao family against you, shouldn't they let Gao Jingrong marry either one of your two half-brothers?"

"Gao Jingrong is just a sacrifice," said Bai Tingxin.

"Sacrifice?" Qin Lianyi was confused. "Isn't Gao Jingrong the daughter of the Gao family?"

"It’s true that she’s the daughter of the Gao family. However, she's just a child the Gao family took in by mistake. The Gao family has already found the child they lost. They just haven't announced it to the public. Even Gao Jingrong doesn't know about it."

Qin Lianyi's eyes immediately widened. 'No way. Are you kidding me? It's just like a plot from a cheesy drama!'

"To the Gao family, their biological daughter is the most important thing. As for Gao Jingrong, since she's not their biological daughter, she's only a sacrifice they can use." Bai Tingxin continued saying, "They thought that if they married Gao Jingrong to me, I would think that the Gao family and I were of one mind. When the time comes, the Gao family will defect and leave me with no power. Then, the Bai family will naturally belong to the first wife and her family."

Qin Lianyi's mood fluctuated when she heard this. She felt that her IQ was not suitable for palace dramas!

"But how do you know that Gao Jingrong isn't the Gao family's biological daughter?" asked Qin Lianyi.

"No, not even if we’re only pretending! Didn't we make a deal? We must never break up once we start dating!" He rubbed her head gently as he spoke, "Don't worry. I'll settle the Bai family's affairs as soon as possible. At most, it'll be settled in three months!"

Three months? "What are you going to do?" asked Qin Lianyi, suddenly feeling that Bai Tingxin seemed to be holding back something big.

"Make sure the first wife and her family can no longer cause trouble, of course," said Bai Tingxin as his eyes stared at her. "I told you before that I won't drag you into the Bai family's dirty mess, and I'll keep my word!"

Qin Lianyi smiled. "Yes, I believe you. You can do it!"

Her trusting look stirred his heart. He leaned forward, and his lips gently pressed against the spot on her face where he had bitten her. "Does it hurt?"
