Christine White shook her head and smiled, “Nothing, let’s eat.”
She had no intention of answering, and Baird Lane looked at her fixedly for a few seconds, nodded slightly, and said no more.
It wasn’t until after breakfast, when he was sitting on the couch and tying his tie, that he suddenly asked, “How’s it going with what I asked you to think about last time?”
“What are you talking about?” Christine White was cleaning up the dishes and was a little confused for a moment when she heard this.
Baird Lane fixed his tie and started to straighten his cuffs, “It’s about coming back to work again, if you want to come back I’ll transfer you to HQ, you can be in the same department as that Debby York, and the page can stay on as a secretary, so what do you say?”
Christine White paused for a moment as she cleared the dishes, “You’re still remembering.”
“I haven’t forgotten.” Baird Lane looks at her.
Christine White lowered her head slightly, “Are they going to say anything when they come back to work?”
“You’re worried about that, is that why you’ve been thinking about it for so long?” Baird Lane raised an eyebrow.
Christine White hmmmed, “Sort of.”
“You don’t have to be like this, if you really can’t let go, I’ll just transfer you to headquarters where no one knows you and no one will say anything.” Baird Lane said as he stood up.
Christine White thought for a moment, “Can it be good?”
“Why not?” He asked rhetorically.
Christine White was silent for a few seconds, “I’m just afraid that if I’m suddenly airborne, those people will talk nonsense.”
If she remembered correctly, the recruitment requirements of The Lane Family Group’s headquarters, except for the factories, as long as it was a clerical office worker, all of them had to be undergraduates from key universities, and she was only from an ordinary university, so what was she supposed to say in case she was asked about it?
If she lied, she was sorry for her conscience, but if she told the truth, those people would say that she went through the back door.
Although her being picked by Baird Lane to go to the headquarters was in itself a backdoor move, it wouldn’t sound good if someone else said that to her face.
“If you’re afraid of people talking nonsense, then work hard, as long as you’re strong, people won’t dare to talk nonsense, understand?” Baird Lane serious face.
Christine White thought about the heat for a moment, it made sense, and nodded, “Okay, I get it, I’ll leave it to you then.”
She bowed toward him.
Baird Lane frowned slightly at how polite she was, then walked towards her, coming to a stop in front of her and holding her shoulders down with both hands to help her up.
“You’re still not behaving.” He let go of one hand and stroked up her face.
Christine White flinched, “What’s wrong?”
Baird Lane gazed at her with dark eyes, “I told you, I’m your husband, you can tell me anything you want, anything you want, and as long as it’s for a valid reason, I won’t turn you down, so there’s no need for you to be so polite with me, but you don’t seem to be taking it to heart.”
Christine White’s heart stuttered and her eyes averted, “I … It’s not that I didn’t take it to heart, I’m just used to not asking for anything.”
“Then it would seem that the circumstances of your upbringing have made you such a character.” Baird Lane lifted her face.
Christine White lowered her eyes and didn’t say anything.
Baird Lane sighed softly, “Since you are now married into The Lane Family and rarely have contact with The White Family, you need to try to be cheerful as well, I am your husband and The Lane Family is your backing, you need to learn to rely on me as well and on The Lane Family.”
Christine White’s eyes flickered, still not speaking.
Relying on him, on The Lane Family?
Can she?
Seemingly reading the thoughts in her heart, Baird Lane’s face sank and released her face, “Forget it, I’m not forcing you to change your mind right away, but you need to think about what I’ve said, and in addition, you can reconsider my previous suggestion of having you disassociate yourself from The White Family. ”
Christine White blinked blankly, “Why are you bringing that up again all of a sudden.”
“I just don’t think The White Family is the right family for you, and disassociating early will only do you good and no harm, plus …”
He looked at her face.
Christine White frowned slightly and followed his gaze, touching her face in some uncertainty, “What else.”
Baird Lane’s eyes crossed with a look she couldn’t read, and the words came out, “Besides, don’t you realize you don’t look anything like The White Family people?”
Christine White laughed, she thought he was going to say something, a serious look that made her blindly nervous for half a day.
“Isn’t that normal? Children don’t always have to be like their parents.” She said in disbelief.
Baird Lane’s brow protruded as he saw that she hadn’t picked up on the hidden meaning of his words, feeling a little tired, “Think what you will, but what do you want to do with my offer.”
Christine White bit her lip, “Disassociation is better, after all, they haven’t done anything other than asking me for money to go overboard with me right now, and they at least raised me, so if I still disassociate myself from them, I’ll be poked in the backside by them.”
“Are you sure?” Baird Lane asked her.
Christine White nodded, “I’m sure.”
Baird Lane rubbed his temples, “I know, but you should probably keep your contact with The White Family to a minimum in the future.”
“What’s wrong?” Christine White always felt as if he was hiding something from her.
Baird Lane patted her head, “I can’t tell you now, wait until later.”
“You sure are hiding something from me again.” Christine White scrunched up her little face, “What exactly is it that you won’t tell me now and have to tell me later.”
“I’m not telling you now because I haven’t found out the truth yet, and I’ll tell you when I do.” Baird Lane explained simply.
The more Christine White listened, the more confused she became, “The truth? Did my parents do something illegal? This can’t be right, although they say they are a little bit of power, but the courage is very small, but also bully the soft and afraid of hard, but also afraid of death, illegal things I think they should not do, but Mick …”
She was a little unsure of what to say.
Mick White has much more guts than the White’s motherWhite’s father, and had the audacity to break the law by going gambling a while back.
It’s not impossible to do something else illegal.
“Don’t you think too much about it.” Baird Lane put his hand down, “I just happened to learn something about the past from your older aunt in your hometown, something about your parents and …”
Speaking here, he glanced at her if he seemed to have done so, and continued, “Specifically whether your parents have broken the law or not, only the results of the investigation will be known, so I would like to ask you now, if your parents have broken the law, what would you do?”
Christine White didn’t think he’d ask her that, and for a moment it was difficult, “I don’t know, I’ve never thought about it.”
“Then think about it, maybe the result of the investigation is that they did break the law?” Baird Lane didn’t press her for an answer now.
Christine White took a deep breath, “Well, you’ve got to tell me exactly what they’ve done and what laws they might have broken, then?”
“I’ve just told you that I can’t tell you now; if I tell you, you’ll go to them impulsively, and what if they get annoyed and hurt you?” Baird Lane still did not answer her.
Christine White was a little lost, “Is it that serious?”
“I’m not going to lie to you, well, just stay in the apartment, I’m off to the office, I’ll take you to headquarters in a couple of days to familiarize yourself with it.” Baird Lane said, lifting his foot towards the foyer.
Christine White followed him and watched as he bent down to change his shoes, “Be careful on the road.”
Baird Lane changed his shoes and stood up, then cupped her chin and gave her a kiss on the lips, “Got it, call me if you need anything, I’m off.”
When he finished, he released her chin, opened the door and walked out.
