In the second year after Xu Mingfei left, Baili Tong adopted a girl from an orphanage.

Baili Tong called her Xiaofei and asked the maid at home to call her Miss, but she didn't give her the surname of Baili's family.

It was a very strange girl, she laughed a lot, and when she laughed, she would show her small, white tiger teeth, no matter who she was, she was very friendly, even the boys who often surrounded her and laughed at her for being a fatherless and begging for food. Her smile was sweet, reminiscent of the girl the Baili family had adopted in the past.

But her identity is so embarrassing, Baili Tong didn't let her follow his surname, so even if she is a servant of the Baili family, she doesn't regard her as the real master, although she is called Miss on the surface, but after she is called, she never forgets to sneer.

The main owners of the Baili family will not worry much about such a girl with an unknown background, they all think that she is a little plaything raised by Baili Tong, but they just use her to pass those boring times.

So more than ten years later, when Baili Tong stepped down from the position of the head of the Baili family and said in person that he wanted to pass on this position of Nine Treasures to Xiao Fei, none of the people present were not surprised.

That year, Xiao Fei was sixteen years old and Baili Tong was forty-two years old.

The forty-two-year-old man, who looked so old, had been so drunk and obsessed with money for many years had hollowed out his body, he couldn't even stand for a long time, and his body staggered as if it was about to collapse at any moment.

The sons and nephews of the Baili family, who grew up in the hundreds of years, immediately exploded after a short period of aphasia, and everyone looked indignant, looking at Xiao Fei's gaze like a knife, as if they were going to swallow her alive.

Xiao Fei stood quietly beside Baili Tong, her slender arm on his shoulder, she still had a sweet smile on her face, watching them jump to their feet, and whispered in Baili Tong's ear, "Tong, I said earlier, these people are not well-intentioned, they wish you died early, so that they can divide up all the Baili family's property." Don't worry, here I am, what you give me, not a slight, no less, whoever has swallowed you all these years, I will let them spit it out with interest!"

She called his name, which he requested.

She was not allowed to call him father, she was not allowed to call him father, she was not allowed to call him Mr. Baili, she could only call him by his name, as if she loved him deeply.

Baili Tong was silent, he had already guessed today's situation, and he didn't want to stop it, he knew that Xiao Fei could deal with this matter alone, with her ability, these sons and nephews of the Baili family, one of them was not her opponent.

She was the most smiling girl he had ever seen, and she was also the most decisive.

At the beginning, he brought her back like a ghost, completely because she was almost exactly the same as the woman in his impression when she was a girl, but after a long time, he realized that she was not Xu Mingfei, there was only one Xu Mingfei in this world, no matter how similar she looked, it was not her.

If it was Xu Mingfei, in the face of this situation, she would definitely choose to stand behind him, and only after he opened her mouth would she express her position, and she would never expose herself naked in front of everyone's accusations and criticisms like this.

Xu Mingfei has always been gentle, her gentleness comes out of her bones, not like her, just a mask.

Only Baili Tong knows what kind of scheming is hidden behind her smile in this child. He had seen how she designed the boys who bullied her, and she would reward her a thousand times for anyone who hurt her, and she still had a gentle smile on her face when she did these things, as always. She was chosen by him, and he raised her with his own hands, even if it was a sheep, thrown into the wolf's den, and after a long time, it would become a wolf.

What's more, in her bones, she is not a good type.

That's fine, beast, always need beast to be company.

Leaving the Baili family to him, he was not worried at all.

After announcing his decision, Baili Tong left Xiao Fei alone at Baili's house, and he flew to Switzerland to recuperate, his body could no longer support it, after Xu Mingfei left, he began to give up on himself, although he never admitted it, but this is the case. He searched for her for a year, and during this year, all the supplements of the newspapers in H City published notices about her missing person, and he promised a lot of money that he would not hesitate to repay anyone who could provide her clues.

But in the end, it was disappointed again and again.

Disappointment for too long, it turned into despair, Xu Mingfei became a wound on his heart that could never heal, as time passed, the wound became more and more festering, as if the whole heart was going to be devoured and rotted by it.

Before the age of 20, Xiao Fei often traveled back and forth between H City and Switzerland, and Bailijia prepared a private jet for her, which departed at dusk and could have lunch with Baili Tong at noon.

For this man, she has an indescribable and inexplicable affection for him.

She respected him because he had saved her from a place where she would have to break her head even if she had eaten a piece of candy, but she hated him, because after he had rescued her, he had not given her a stable life, but had thrown her into a more dangerous place.

before he came out of the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den.

Since she was identified as the heir of the Baili family, God knows how many assassinations she has experienced in the past few years, and she has slept in the bathtub of the bathroom until now, because she sleeps in the bed and may be shot from time to time.

However, while she resented him, she also admired him, this man who was not healthy, the strongest person she had ever seen. Wise and brave, cunning and cold-blooded, he holds in his hands an unpredictable riche, and under his villa is a huge treasure trove like a royal palace.

He was so clean that he was outrageous, and she had followed him for so many years, and she had never seen him entangled with any woman.

She knew he wasn't impossible, he just didn't want to. Because every time he looked at her, Xiao Fei felt that although he was looking at her, she saw the shadow of another person through his eyes.

The shadow of a woman.

He called her Xu Mingfei, he showed her pictures, and after one of his drunkenness, he called the woman's name and hugged her, which was the first and only time he hugged her.

Xu Mingfei, from then on, this name is like a spell, hovering above Xiao Fei's head, she is not afraid of heaven and earth, but she is only worried about the owner of this name.

She asked for someone to come to the photo album of the past Baili family, and found Xu Mingfei's photo in it.

She immediately understood why Baili Tong would choose the taciturn self among the many children.

Originally......

Xiao Fei completely solved the mess of the Baili family, and two years later, the 18-year-old girl was as sharp as a fire diamond in the jewelry industry of H City.

No one dares to point fingers and make irresponsible remarks in front of her, because most of the people who used to do that have become white bones.

This girl's methods are even better than those of Baili Tong back then. She never minded getting her hands dirty, but the smile on her face wasn't damaged by it.

On a cold winter morning, Bailijia's mailbox was put into a plain letter that was rarely used again in these years, and the location of the recipient on the envelope was written Baili Tong. It stands to reason that this letter will be taken by the servant to Baili Tong's study, stacked with several previous magazine letters, and waited for him to open or throw away at once when he returns.

But that day happened to be the day when Baili Tong returned to China, Xiao Fei got up very early and began to instruct the servants at home to clean the house again.

She saw the letter, hesitated for a moment, and opened it.

The letter was sandwiched with a photograph of a woman who was no longer young, but still beautiful, hugging a bunch of ragged children, smiling quietly and beautifully.

The letter was written by a child, and the crooked handwriting on the letterhead said that the woman in this photograph was his elementary school teacher, and she was very sick and was dying because she had no money to treat her. He peeked at the teacher's diary, and knew that the teacher had worked here in his early years and was married to the male owner of the family, and he wanted to ask if they could lend her some money, at least so that she could survive this Spring Festival, because when the snow in the mountains melted, they would be able to go out to pick herbs and hunt wild goods, in that case, they could exchange some money and come back, and maybe they could cure the teacher's illness......

Xu Mingfei.

Although she was much thinner than in the previous photos, and wrinkles climbed into the corners of her eyes, Xiao Fei recognized her almost instantly. In fact, after so long, she is young, and Xu Mingfei is already in the twilight, they are no longer alike, but she still recognizes her.

But isn't it, she has been hovering in her heart for so long, she has dreamed almost countless times that Xu Mingfei returned to Baili's house and took Baili Tong away from her, for such a strong and powerful opponent, how could she forget.

took out the lighter, pressed it gently, and the fire light that came out of the ground swallowed the letter paper at once, and the tongue of fire licked the woman's face, and after a while, only a cloud of ashes was left.

After doing all this, Xiao Fei calmly called the maid to clean up the paper ashes. She turned around and went upstairs, calmly freshened up, put on makeup, and carefully prepared for Baili Tong's return.

Baili Tong would never know about the existence of this letter, because Xiao Fei would never tell him.

She didn't feel guilty at all, not even the slightest bit of guilt, she thought of the first time she met Baili Tong in the orphanage when she was young, and he walked through the pile of children, came directly to her, and stretched out his palm.

When she grew up, she asked Baili Tong, why did you choose me in the first place?

After a long silence, Baili Tong said that the beast was to be accompanied by the beast.

He's right. The beast is to be accompanied by the beast.

In this life, only she can stand by his side. And those who can only stand behind him are not worthy to walk with him.

At this moment, outside the gate of the villa, there was a clear whistle......
