I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 337 But... not everyone who's a father is a good father...

"How are you? Are you alright?"

Zhou Heng stood by the hospital bed, looked at Bai Cang, and asked softly.

"Ah... thank goodness, thank goodness..."

Bai Cang answered softly, but dared not look Zhou Heng in the eye.

Zhou Heng was puzzled and asked Yu Lingxue in a low voice, "What's wrong with him?"

Yu Lingxue shook her head and said, "I don't know. It's been like this since I arrived today. The doctor said it seems like I was stimulated by something, and I might need to rest for a while to recover..."

"Oh, I see...that's pretty tragic..."

"I'll go buy some food." Tang Zhi stood up and went out to buy some snacks.

They all arrived very early in the morning and hadn't eaten anything yet.

After Tang Zhi left, a while later,

"Click——"

The door to the ward suddenly opened, and a man walked in. He paused slightly upon seeing the group, then looked at Zhou Heng...

Upon seeing the man, Yu Lingxue immediately stood up, bowed, and greeted him, "Hello, Uncle Bai..."

"Ah, Xiaoxue, hello, thank you for coming to see Baicang."

The man entered the ward, came to the bedside, and turned to look at Zhou Heng.

Yu Lingxue immediately realized what was happening and introduced, "Zhou Heng, this is Bai Cang's father..."

"Uncle Bai, this is Zhou Heng, he is..."

“Yes, I know.” The man nodded and reached out to interrupt Yu Lingxue.

Zhou Heng quickly greeted him politely, "Hello, Uncle Bai."

"Hello, hello..." The man narrowed his eyes, smiled, stared at Zhou Heng's face, and after a while, muttered softly:

"It really looks like it..."

"Father..." Bai Cang called out from his bed, his voice filled with shame and regret...

The man glanced at him, sighed helplessly, and said, "Sigh, talk less and get some rest. Zhou Heng and I will go outside and chat for a while..."

"Uh?"

Zhou Heng was taken aback, not understanding why they wanted to chat outside...

The thought that Bai Cang was once his...

This shouldn't be... hereditary, right?

Despite his doubts, he couldn't refuse, so he followed the man out of the ward...

They went to the area in the hospital where smoking was allowed, and then the man took out a pack of cigarettes that looked very nice.

He took one out and handed it to Zhou Heng, asking, "Do you know how?"

Zhou Heng immediately shook his head and said, "Ah no, I don't know how, thank you..."

"it is good..."

The man lit a cigarette, took a drag, and exhaled a wisp of smoke...

"My name is Bai Zhengzhi. You probably don't know who I am, right? They probably didn't tell you."

“Aren’t you Bai Cang’s father? Oh… and the owner of many companies, I know that.”

Bai Zhengzhi smiled and said to Zhou Heng, "Your father and I are colleagues, did you know that?"

"Huh?! This... I... I really didn't know..."

Zhou Heng paused for a moment, a look of surprise on his face, then gently shook his head.

"Hehehe... I am the vice president of Junheng. I have received a lot of help from your father. We are very good friends."

"Oh, I see... I really didn't know that, my apologies, Mr. Bai..."

Zhou Heng only knew that Bai Cang's father was very powerful and owned many companies, but he didn't expect that he was also the vice president of Junheng...

But... is it really such a coincidence? How could I possibly know the vice president's son by such a strange coincidence? And wasn't he a transfer student from my high school?

Did he already know his identity and deliberately transfer here? Otherwise, why would someone of his status go to that high school?

"Eh?"

Zhou Heng suddenly realized that Bai Cang and Yu Lingxue had transferred here together...

"Uncle Bai... can I ask you a question? Is Yu Lingxue also...?"

"Yes, Junheng's other vice president, Yu Yinghai, President Yu, is her father."

"Hmph...no wonder, now I understand...so their sudden transfer to my high school, was it...?"

"Yes, it's to get close to you. They knew all along that you would become your father's successor, so their initial approach to you was all for profit, to become your future secretary. That's a very good job, with many benefits. Most importantly, it can help me and Yu Yinghai expand our advantages in Junheng."

"That's it..."

Zhou Heng was a little taken aback; now, their initial strange behavior finally had an explanation...

What he couldn't accept was that they pretended to be his friends for their own benefit without his knowledge...

But their subsequent behavior... didn't seem like acting; they really seemed like true friends.

Why...why are you telling me all this?

Bai Zhengzhi took a deep drag of his cigarette and slowly exhaled, saying:

"Because... I won't let Bai Cang participate in any more competitions, nor will I require him to join Junheng in the future. This child has suffered a lot since he was young, and I required him to undergo very strict training every day in order to cultivate him into an elite... Perhaps it was under that environment that he changed... and developed different ideas..."

Bai Zhengzhi extinguished his cigarette and continued, "I've figured it out too. I don't need him to become any more outstanding. I just want him to live a peaceful and stable life from now on."

Zhou Heng looked at Bai Zhengzhi, remained silent for a while, and then said, "You are a very good father."

Bai Zhengzhi laughed and said:

"Although we won't be participating in any competition anymore, others will inevitably..."

"You mean Yu Lingxue? But she..."

"No, no, no, I know Xiaoxue. She's a good child. You should have noticed that all the signs indicate she's given up competing with Bai Cang. Pulling back from the brink is a good thing. The child is a good child, but... a father isn't necessarily a good father..."

Zhou Heng frowned, his voice becoming very soft: "You mean..."

Bai Zhengzhi nodded and said:

"Yes, be careful of Yu Yinghai from now on. He has a lot of bad intentions. After you take over your father's position, before you've established yourself and are still relatively young, he will definitely pose a threat to you... He climbed up by stepping on others..."

Zhou Heng gasped, and replied softly, "I...I understand..."

Bai Zhengzhi patted Zhou Heng on the shoulder, a relieved smile on his face:

"Yes, remember, make yourself stronger, cultivate connections, and establish your own network within Junheng in advance. Don't let certain unscrupulous people do anything to harm Junheng..."

Zhou Heng looked up and saw Bai Zhengzhi's smile, which instantly eased the pressure he had been feeling...

"Understood. Junheng is truly blessed to have a vice president like you..."
