A quarter of an hour later, Bai Haotian's taxi stopped outside an old-fashioned house.

This mansion was left by Bai Haotian's grandfather, and after his father got married, he moved out and became a wedding room for his second uncle.

In the periphery of a circle of gray walls, the front and back yards add a piece of more than 100 square meters, planted a lot of evergreen plants in all seasons, the house imitates the Soviet style, white bricks and green tiles, antique, two floors up and down, equivalent to the height of three floors of modern villas.

At this moment, there were several figures gathered in a clearing in the front yard, and when they heard the sound of the half-hidden iron door being pushed open, they all turned their eyes, and when they saw the young man walking quickly, they all showed surprise.

Why did Bai Haotian come?

Bai Haotian was also stunned in surprise, in addition to the second uncle, his father was also there, and there was another middle-aged man and a young man, who were the second son of Old Man Bai, Bai Ze, and his son, Bai Shaoyou.

"Bai Haotian, what are you doing here, you are not welcome here, please leave. Bai Shaoyou was the first to take the lead, looking at Bai Haotian with unkind eyes, according to the seniority, he should call Bai Haotian a cousin, but the superiority of the born master's family made him look down on the person who divided the family, in his eyes, the division is to work for the master's family, he should obey the master's family, to put it nicely, it is called the relationship between the monarch and the minister, and the ugly thing is the relationship between the master and the servant, the servant dares to disobey the master, and it also brings trouble to the master.

Bai Haotian glanced at him lightly: "This is your home?"

Bai Shaoyou sneered: "Yes and no, thanks to you, the family has decided to recover all the assets of the Qingshi branch by the end of next month, including this mansion." ”

Bai Haotian's face changed instantly, he frowned and looked at Bai Hailin, was slightly silent, and said word for word: "Dad, I want to know the truth." He glanced at Bai Haiyun again: "Second uncle, I just received a call from Bai Ling, she cried very sadly, what's the matter?"

Bai Hailin and Bai Haiyun glanced at each other, with a little helplessness in their eyes.

"Big brother, Haotian is no longer a child, so don't hide it from him. Bai Haiyun sighed lightly, Bai Hailin nodded a little reluctantly, he wanted to wait for the dust to settle before telling Bai Haotian, but now he obviously couldn't hide it.

He stared at Bai Haotian and said: "Since you are here, I will tell you about the situation, according to the results of my discussion with the old man, I will give up the management of the Qingshi branch, and take out 20 million, plus your second uncle's house and hand it over to the family, it can be regarded as a clean house, from now on, the Qingshi family and the family will have nothing to do with it." ”

"Why!" Bai Haotian was angry in his chest, drawing a line with the family, his father's resignation from the Qingshi branch was expected, and the compensation was 20 million, although Bai Haotian felt that it was extremely excessive, but he was psychologically prepared after all, but the second uncle's house was left by his grandfather, and it was also handed over to the family, and he couldn't accept anything.

If it is placed in ancient times, the loss of the ancestral home means the complete decline of a family, and the severity is second only to the queen, and the nine springs will have no face to face the ancestors.

Bai Shaoyou sneered, and said without yin or yang: "Just rely on the son and the father to pay it, you refused to marry in public, and you didn't come to apologize afterwards, now the Nangong family is staring at the Bai family to give an explanation, and stopped the cooperation project with the Bai family, the Bai family has lost no less than 50 million, your father is paying for you, your second uncle is involved by you, and you are a sinner now." ”

Bai Haotian glanced at him coldly, but heard his father say again: "I received a call from the old man this morning, the situation has changed slightly, the old man learned that Bai Ling became a martial artist some time ago, so he started to love talents, and proposed that Bai Ling be cultivated by the family, and the 20 million handed over to the family can be reduced to 15 million, and this mansion will be owned by your second uncle forever." ”

At the same time, the family also gave a specific training plan, all the cultivation resources in Bai Ling's high school stage are provided by the family, and next year's college entrance examination will strive for Bai Ling to be sent to the provincial key university martial arts place, and the cultivation resources that the school cannot meet during the university are also made up by the family, in return, after graduation, Bai Ling has two choices, either accept the marriage arranged by the family, or serve the family for ten years, Brother Ze and Shaoyou came over specially for this matter. ”

At the end of the words, looking at Bai Ze, Bai Ze nodded and acquiesced, raised his eyes to look at Bai Haotian, and said earnestly: "Haotian, I know that you have grievances against the family, in fact, the family is also forced to be helpless, Nangong Jiao is the youngest daughter of the head of the Nangong family, you refuse to marry in public, how can you save the face of the Nangong family? Hey, don't mention it, now that the Qingshi family is temporarily separated from the family, it can be regarded as an explanation to the Nangong family, the old man said, as long as Bai Ling University can reach the five grades or more of the realm of things when he graduates, let the Qingshi family return. ”

Bai Haotian looked at the expression of suffocation and regret on Bai Ze's face, and only felt a wave of nausea in his stomach, his cousin was the only non-martial artist among the three sons and one daughter of Old Man Bai, and he had the lowest status in the second generation of the main family, but he was the one who liked to put music the most.

Could it be that he suddenly changed sex?

The country is easy to change and difficult to change, my father has made it very clear that today is for Bai Ling, to put it bluntly, I am here to do business, such as Bai Ling, a delicate female warrior, in the future to be used for marriage, it is an immeasurable wealth, take a step back, even if it is not used as a marriage tool, when Bai Ling becomes a martial artist in the realm, serving the family for ten years, the wealth created is less than tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.

The output is ten or even dozens of times the input, and the attitude is naturally more moderate.

The Bai family is no longer the grandfather's five brothers who started from scratch, and the Bai family when they helped each other, with the prosperity of the family, the family affection has become as light as clear water, and only interests are left in the eyes, and he and Bai Ling are no longer the younger generations of blood relations, and have become commodities to be sold at a price.

How sad and cruel?

"Bai Ling doesn't need the cultivation of the family, and Bai Ling's future has nothing to do with the family. Bai Haotian's face was expressionless, and he couldn't see a trace of joy, anger and sorrow, but his eyes were sharp and resolute.

It's not that he doesn't understand the truth that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, but he will never allow his tragedy to repeat itself in Bai Ling, the family is a fire pit, once he jumps, he will only become a tool for the family to continuously exploit interests.

On the phone before, Bai Ling said that his parents wanted to sell his daughter, as if the buyer was the Bai family, and Bai Ling's crying represented her subjective resistance, of course, even if Bai Ling was persuaded to accept it, he Bai Haotian would never agree.

"Brother Haotian..."Bai Ze's face sank, Bai Haotian ruined the family's marriage plan with the Nangong family, and now he wants to destroy a big deal of the family, do you really think that you can be willful when you are young? He was just about to speak, a light voice sounded, and he saw Bai Ling running out of the house, and Shen Lan, who was following behind, had a sad face, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red.

Bai Haotian stretched out his hand to catch Bai Ling, looking at her tear-stained beautiful cheeks, his heart was a little tingling, Bai Ze father and son came here specifically for Bai Ling today, thinking that Bai Ling already knew something that she shouldn't know.

"Bai Ling, don't worry, I will never let the family take you away. Bai Haotian's voice was low and resolute, but Bai Ling shook his head and said faintly: "Brother Haotian, no wonder you asked me for so many spirit stones, it turns out that you have also become a martial artist." ”

Bai Haotian was stunned, and Bai Ling pursed his lips: "If my father hadn't told me, I would still be in the dark." ”

Bai Haotian couldn't help but look at Bai Haifeng, Bai Haifeng's face was full of bitterness, and he sighed: "The whole school knows that you apply for the martial arts department, and how long can you hide it from us, I know that you don't want to add an extra burden to the family, but sometimes we have to face the reality, I'll spread it out and say it, if according to the results of the discussion between your father and the old man, the Qingshi family will become negative equity, and it will be difficult to cultivate one martial artist, let alone two, in this way, it will be equivalent to delaying the good future of the two of you." ”

Bai Haifeng's tone was hard, and anyone could hear the unwillingness in his heart, but the meaning of his words was that he was inclined to compromise.

"Brother Haotian, I have decided to transfer to the school in the provincial capital next week, I will work hard, you have to work hard, we will strive to be admitted to the same university next year, okay?" Bai Ling raised his head slightly, tears filled his eyes, and a far-fetched smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Bai Haotian was stunned, why next year?

After a while, he suddenly realized that when he applied for the martial arts examination, he was a candidate for the first grade, and the martial arts department was only opened by universities above the provincial key level, and the minimum entry was the third grade of the alternate realm, and there were still three months before the college entrance examination, and the probability of improving the two grades was very small, no wonder the little girl's expectation for herself was the coming year...

"You decide whether it counts, I'll just say one thing, I don't agree. Bai Haotian's face gradually became serious, his tone was sonorous, Bai Ling's little face was bitter, and the corners of his mouth moved, as if he wanted to argue, at this time, Bai Shaoyou suddenly said coldly: "Bai Haotian, which onion are you? You don't care about your own future, why should you let Bai Ling destroy your future like you? You are a sinner who brings unwarranted disasters to your family, this is not enough, do you have to have your family to accompany you to prison to be satisfied? You are simply mad. ”

Bai Haotian said in a deep voice: "Bai Shaoyou, you listen to me, since the Qingshi family has separated from the family, it will not return, and the future of me and Bai Ling is not firmly in the minds of the Bai family." ”

"You don't know what you said. Bai Shaoyou looked disdainful, stretched out a finger and shook it, looked at Bai Hailin and Bai Haiyun, and said without awe: "Two cousins, you should be in charge of the Qingshi family." ”

Bai Haotian looked at the hesitation of his father and second uncle, he could understand the entanglement in the hearts of the two, after all, it was about the future of him and Bai Ling, he suddenly said: "Bai Shaoyou, I remember that you broke through to the third rank of the alternate realm more than two months ago, have you been promoted to the fourth rank now?"

A look of pride appeared on Bai Shaoyou's face: "It's almost over, I will definitely be able to wait for the fourth grade of the realm this summer, and at least the sixth grade of the alternate realm for the college entrance examination next year, my goal is the top ten martial arts schools." ”

Bai Shaoyou is the awakening of the natal martial soul during the summer vacation of the first year of high school and the second year of high school, and he has been a candidate for more than half a year, one of the best three in the family, and he is expected to be high, he is arrogant, but he also has proud capital, not only relying on the identity of the main family.

"Okay, the ambition is not small, but I don't know if I have the strength to match, can you dare to compete with me, the sinner in your mouth?" Bai Haotian was noncommittal, and threw out a sentence lightly, so that everyone was collectively stunned.
