441. Hundred miles of family affairs
"Baby." Bai Qi looked away at the clear blue sky, her voice was like a faint white cloud in the sky, drifting in the wind, "I never thought it would be like this......"
The Bai family.
It was dreary, and the sunlight was gone. A lingering drizzle of rain drifted down, gradually eroding the whole world with a little coolness. In the living room of the Bai family's villa, a servant came from the kitchen and respectfully stopped behind Bai Lan, "Miss, the meal is ready." β
"Go and call Xiao Qi and Lingwan." Bai Lan wore a pale dress, curly hair and a shawl, and a soft smile on her beautiful face.
"Aunt Su has already gone to call Miss Baili just now." The maid added this sentence before leaving.
"Let's go eat." Bai Lan stood up, lowered her eyes sideways, and looked at the person who was sitting next to her, Murong Mo.
He was dressed in a white shirt and black trousersβa simple outfit. The central air conditioning in the villa was turned on, and the slightly hot temperature made him unbutton the two buttons of his shirt. Under Bai Lan's gaze, Murong Mo quickly stood up and took her hand towards the dining place.
"Rest a little more while you're at home, I find that you're getting sick more and more easily now." Murong Mo walked beside Bai Lan and looked at her reproachfully, but only saw her smile and apologetic gaze.
"I know how to take care of myself." Bai Lan said.
"What do you know?"
Before the two walked to the dining table, Murong Mo intimately opened the chair for Bai Lan, and sat next to her after she sat down, "You have developed a habit in the past few years!" Only know the work. Don't know about the break. You think I don't know about you? Every time I tell you that you're off, you're actually still working. β
"Mo ......" Bai Lan looked at him helplessly, and she didn't understand how Murong Mo, who was once so conceited and proud, became so nagging.
Without waiting for Murong Mo to say anything, Bai Qi and Baili Lingwan had already come down from the second floor and entered their line of sight.
Murong Mo supported his face with one hand, and his handsome face had a hint of strictness, "Xiaoqi." β
"Huh?" Hearing this, Bai Qi glanced at him suspiciously, and that look was more like looking at a neurotic. "What?"
"What kind of eyes do you have?" Murong Mo's eyes widened. Molar tract.
Bai Qi smiled, smiling sweetly and cutely, "Look at your eyes." β
ββ¦β¦β
"Okay guys." Bai Lan covered her lips and smiled, she glanced at Baili Linghuan, who had already sat down with the help of Aunt Su. Soft channel. "Now that they're all seated. Let's eat. β
After everyone started eating, Murong Mo still didn't forget what he wanted to do just now. It's just that his topic doesn't know when it was taken crooked by Bai Qi, and he was helpless. He could only shout again, "Xiaoqi." β
"Huh?" Bai Qi put the vegetables in his mouth, and looked at him suspiciously, "If you have something, just say it, Murong Mo, what are you doing." β
"Who's spitting and spitting? You were the one who led me to the wrong topic just now! Murong Mo argued.
Bai Qi raised his eyebrows, "Really?" β
"Yes! Wait a minute! Murong Mo immediately cut off the conversation when the topic was about to be crooked again, "I'll tell you the right thing!" β
"Say."
Bai Qi didn't look at him, he ate his own, and the word "said" was vague. And Bai Lan, who was beside Murong Mo, also looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Usually at home, you pay attention to let Sister Lan rest early, I told her that it is useless, you have to supervise it well." In Murong Mo's voice, Bai Lan couldn't help but laugh.
"Your Sister Lan's body has been getting weaker and weaker recently, and it's probably because she doesn't have a good rest at night." Murong Mo continued to talk on the side.
"Sister Lan?" After hearing this, Bai Qi's gaze fell on Bai Lan's body, "You have been sleeping late lately?" β
"Sometimes there is a lot of work, and some of the texts need to be reviewed by me again......" Bai Lan said helplessly.
"That's it!" Bai Qi interrupted Bai Lan's words and turned his head to look at Murong Mo, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will keep an eye on Sister Lan!" β
"Hmmm! That's good! Murong Mo nodded with satisfaction.
"You guys......" Bai Lan was speechless. Why did she feel like she had become a child who needed her parents to keep an eye on her schedule......
After dinner, Bai Lan sent Murong Mo away. Baili Lingwan and Bai Qi walked slowly around the Bai family's garden, and after the two made an appointment to meet in the game for a while, Baili Lingwan returned to the room under the guidance of Aunt Su. After settling down Baili Linghuan, Aunt Su quietly withdrew from the room. It's just that when she closed the door and turned around, she was startled by the figure in front of her.
"Ouch. Miss Xiaoqi, what are you doing standing here quietly? Aunt Su raised her hand to help her heart, "Scare me......"
Bai Qi smiled, stepped forward and walked in front of Aunt Su, "What is Linghuan doing?" β
"I'm reading." Aunt Su replied. The book in her mouth is naturally different from ordinary books, it is a kind of book that the blind can touch and "read".
Bai raised his head and said in a low voice, "Aunt Su, I have something I want to ask you. β
Aunt Su was stunned, "What's the matter?" β
Bai Qi smiled and tilted his head, "Let's talk in another place." β
"Good ......"
As the words fell, Bai Qi turned around and walked to his room. Opening the door, she motioned for Aunt Su to come in, and Aunt Su lowered her eyes and entered. The two sat opposite each other on the sofa in the middle of the room, with a bouquet of lightly scented flowers in front of them in a vase on the coffee table.
"Miss Xiaoqi......" Aunt Su raised her eyes to look at Bai Qi in front of her, "What do you want to ask?" β
"Can you tell me about Linghuan?" Bai Qi looked at Aunt Su, and the slightly curled eyelashes deepened her eyeliner, making those deep and bright eyes more eye-catching, eye-catching, "What happened when Lingwan left Baili's house......"
"This ......" Obviously, Aunt Su was a little hesitant. For so long, they have been living in Bai Qi's home, whether it is the original elevator apartment or the current villa, Bai Qi has never asked Baili Linghuan about the past. It seems that she didn't care about the story of Baili Linghuan before she came here...... And now......
"On that day, you also saw Shangguan Liuxi." In Aunt Su's hesitation, Bai Qi's voice came leisurely, and her voice was very soft and soft.
As soon as Aunt Su heard the words "Shangguan Liuxi", she immediately raised her eyes and looked at Bai Qi.
In Aunt Su's gaze, Bai Qi continued his topic unaffected, "Shangguan family...... Presumably Aunt Su, you are no stranger at all. Shangguan Liuxi's cousin, Shangguan Xue, was my best friend, and on that day, they sued sΓΉ about something. She wrinkled her eyebrows slightly, "About Linghuan's marriage contract ......"
"Miss Xiaoqi." Aunt Su was surprised, "Do you know everything?" β
Bai Qi tugged at the corners of his lips, "Basically." After all, I don't know if that's all I know...... What I know is a car accident...... And the cancelled marriage ......"
Aunt Su frowned, and her eyes unconsciously revealed a faint distress and pity, "My young lady was born in a Baili family, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse." β
"If birth is a curse, then life is a little too sad." Bai lowered her eyes and stared at the vase of flowers on the coffee table, "Everyone has disasters in their lives, but in addition to disasters, there are also happiness...... she paused, and slowly exhaled, "I think, at least before the car accident, Linghuan was happy, happy ......"
Aunt Su moved her lips, but like a dumb person who had lost her voice, she didn't say a word.
"Aunt Su, don't worry. We all treat Linghuan with sincerity, and we treat her as our friend. However, I would like to know a little bit so that I don't feel unprepared for the unexpected. β
"Emergency?" Aunt Su was puzzled, it was obvious that she hadn't thought about the difficulties they might encounter.
"If the head of the Baili family comes to me and asks for someone, I should always know how to deal with it." Bai Qi spread his hands, looking very innocent. It's just that her words surprised Aunt Su.
Need?
This possibility, Aunt Su has never considered.
"We ...... As we left, the head of the house didn't say much......" she said, except for a palpable panic in her voice.
"And that was just then." Bai Qi said, "After all, Linghuan's identity is very sensitive in the Baili family. Daughter of a former recognized heir...... Such an identity, at some special moments, cannot be avoided even if you want to avoid right and wrong. β
The words fell, and Aunt Su also froze in these words. Suddenly, she seemed to see something terrible, and looked at Bai Qi in panic, "No, it won't be......"
"Aunt Su." Bai Qi looked at Aunt Su's eyes solemnly, "When you left the Baili family, what was the situation of the Baili family?" β
"At the time?" Aunt Su recalled, "The head of the family seems to have taken his daughter out to meet guests. So when I left with my young lady, I just said a word to the wife of the housekeeper, and then I left directly. β
"Bringing your daughter to a visitor?" Bai Qiran smiled mockingly, "This is after climbing to the Shangguan family, I am going to find another way." β
"This ......" Aunt Su has always been honest, so she naturally doesn't dare to express too many opinions.
"What is the attitude of the so-called head of the family towards Linghuan?" She asked.
"Don't pay much attention to Miss...... It's just that the daughter of the head of the house sometimes makes trouble for the young lady. Speaking of this, Aunt Su's eyes obviously had a hint of anger.
"Don't you pay attention to it......" Bai Qi groaned, "His woman is probably a brain-dead, and he is looking for trouble with Linghuan in this situation." There should be an old man in your Baili family, right? β
"Naturally." Aunt Su nodded.
"Since Linghuan's father used to be the most recognized heir, these old people should also have a recognizable attitude towards Linghuan. The daughter of the current head of the family behaved like this, but I was afraid that she would be very unqualified in the eyes of the old man of the Baili family. As for her father, she needs to do more to gain the approval of the elders of the family. If his own family doesn't approve of him, then it's really boring for this head of the family to be the head of the family. (To be continued......)
