Chapter 40: He Doesn't Ask
Yesterday, there were a total of four people in the family, and there were major incidents in the three families, even if Bai Qingling was simple, he should understand what was going on.
She reacted for a moment, tilted her head and asked Xia Huanqin, "What about Bai Wensheng's family?" ”
Xia Huanqin looked at her in surprise, "Is it really that you can't do it?!" ”
But then he shook his head in self-denial, "No, you're not such a person, you can't do this kind of thing." ”
Bai Qingling's delicate little face twisted to the side and was silent for a while.
Yan Lou's departure yesterday was not because he ran away from home, but because he knew that she was bullied, he actually avenged her!
Xia Huanqin continued, "The affairs of the other three families were also found out by Zhao Xifeng who shook the phone to me. When I came today, I asked the driver to pass by Xiang Caiying's company and Bai Wensheng's car dealership, and Xiang Caiying's door was tightly blocked, but Bai Wensheng's car shop didn't see anyone coming to collect debts. ”
She picked up the cup and took a sip of water, explaining, "Bai Wensheng's family is very disciplined in doing business, and Bai Wensheng is also very disciplined, so he insists on finding some mistakes from him," Xia Huanqin glanced at her, "I'm afraid it's also very difficult." ”
Bai Qingling changed his posture, "If he behaves in a proper manner, naturally no one will trouble him, and if he does not behave properly, it is possible that someone will trouble him." ”
Xia Huanqin nodded, "You're right. When Zhao Xifeng shook the phone to my family in the morning, she asked me to intercede for their family and let you let her family go, but she didn't mention it to Xiang's family, she didn't have a big bad heart, but her selfish mouth was a little worse. You say, intercession is to beg together, what is it to intercede for their family alone? ”
"Then you came today to intercede for her?"
"I don't know who kisses and who is far away? I'm asking for mercy for her. Besides, you didn't do it, so where can you go to intercede? But yesterday's incident, it's really all my fault, I didn't come, but I left you alone to face the injury, I can't make up for it! ”
Bai Qingling shook his head, "I'm tired." ”
Xia Huanqin nodded, "Then don't think about it, Zhao Xifeng told me everything they said and did yesterday, and their own work at home is not clean, and now they have such a result, no wonder anyone." ”
Left a few words for her to rest, and then said goodbye and left.
When the bedroom door closed, Bai Qingling's closed eyes opened.
Since she could think that Yan Lou did this, Xia Huanqin could naturally think of it too.
She came over today, probably just to tell her what he had done.
I haven't seen him for a few years, Xia Huanqin is not as straightforward as he was back then, he wants to plead but doesn't say it, he just says how ruthless Yan Lou is.
Zhao Xifeng told her what happened yesterday, how much can she say, and how much can she tell the truth?
Bai Qingling pursed her lower lip and leaned on the cushion.
Fortunately, Xia Huanqin did not say the words of pleading, otherwise the affection for many years would have been completely broken.
Of course, Bai Qingling knew that Yan Lou was decisive and ruthless, but he didn't expect that she didn't take it seriously yesterday, and he would do it like this.
However, unlike Xia Huanqin's worries, Bai Qingling felt at this moment that only such a man was qualified to inherit her father's handsome position, and only then could he support the Bai family and subdue those ruffians.
Miss Bai is very satisfied.
Good, good.
If he is indecisive, she is still not at ease!
With a long inhalation and a long sigh of relief, Miss Bai really put her mind at ease and married him this time.
Bai Qingling has a bad appetite, and he also uses porridge at noon, so he put down the spoon and felt that his mouth was very light, and he remembered the German pastries of Qishilin and the ice cream of Lishunde.
She asked the maid to ask Lawrence in the kitchen if he would do either of these things.
Lawrence, a Western chef, is not a versatile cook, he can make desserts, but he will not benefit Shunde's fruit ice cream.
After the servant finished asking, he came to the door to reply, Bai Qingling lay on the bed, turned over a few times, and sat up again.
The more I think about it, the more I want to eat, and the more I can't eat, the more I want to eat.
She simply hooked out all the gluttonous worms she had accumulated, scratching and tickling in her heart.
Especially when I think about the bitter soup in the morning, the suffering and anger I suffered yesterday, I want to eat sweets and ice cream.
The dessert is good for cheese, and the fruit ice cream is of course good for Lishunde.
She sat cross-legged on Simmons' bed and thought for a long time, then leaned on the side of the bed and rang the electric bell.
When the servant knocked on the door, she said through the door, "Let the coachman prepare the car, I'm going out." ”
The maid didn't dare to refute Miss Bai, but she was also worried that she had only contracted the wind and cold last night, and only this morning had a fever and a little refreshment, if she went out and got sick again, wouldn't Adjutant Yan want to blame them?
I went downstairs and instructed the next person to inform the coachman, and while the eldest lady was changing clothes, he hurriedly called the barracks.
But Yan Lou was not in the barracks, and the servants had no choice but to watch Miss Bai change into a modern dress and put on a shawl and leave the Bai Mansion.
Bai Qingling was also afraid that the illness would be serious again, so the shawl was also chosen as a thick wool shawl, and the dress was also chosen with a high collar and ankle-length.
Wrapped tightly and comfortably in the car, she waved her small hand, "Go to Qishilin!" ”
This coachman was the one who sent Bai Qingling back to the Bai Mansion last night, and he was on duty again today, and he was very worried in his heart, afraid that she would blame him for his own assertions.
Seeing that she didn't mention it, she waved the command with her little hand, and quickly started the car and drove out of the Bai Mansion.
On the way, Bai Qingling asked him, "You also drove the car yesterday, right?" ”
He nodded and said respectfully, "Yes, Miss." ”
"Yesterday,"
The coachman became nervous, his back straightened a little, he was really afraid, he was really afraid that the eldest lady would blame him, and he would lose his job again and would not be able to take care of his old mother.
"You did a great job yesterday." Bai Qingling looked out of the car window and said casually, "Go back to the account room today and get an extra twenty yuan." ”
The coachman breathed a sigh of relief and put the heart in his throat back into his stomach, "Thank you, Miss, Adjutant Yan has already rewarded the small twenty yuan in the morning, and the small one can't be rewarded anymore." ”
Bai Qingling sighed, and said, "His reward is his, my reward is mine, just let you take it." ”
"Thank you, Miss!" The coachman was full of joy, and he didn't know how to express his heartfelt goodwill for a while, so he secretly decided in his heart that he had to swear to defend the eldest lady and Adjutant Yan to the death.
This expression of loyalty in the depths of his heart, Bai Qingling did not know.
From the White Mansion to Qishilin, I passed by Xiangjia's company in the middle.
At this time, it was already evening, and there were many people outside the company who were carrying sticks and scolding people who paid back, and she even saw a person carrying a 38 big cover and scolding, lifting it up and putting it down from time to time.
Seeing this scene, Bai Qingling frowned, "Go back to the Bai Mansion immediately." ”
Seeing that she said so urgently, and saw the serious look between her eyebrows and eyes in the rearview mirror, the coachman didn't dare to ask more, and quickly turned the head of the car and drove extremely fast.
Leaving there, Bai Qingling's hand holding the shawl tightened.
It was she who was sloppy.
You shouldn't go out alone without even a guard at such a critical moment for the sake of appetite.
Looking at the street scene flashing quickly outside the car window, she was a little afraid of going to Yan Lou alone yesterday.
The maid has been in a hurry since the eldest lady went out, and she couldn't contact Adjutant Yan, and the eldest lady went out alone, if something happened, all of them were afraid that they would have to follow the funeral.
From leaving the White Mansion to returning to the White Mansion, it was only a quarter of an hour.
As soon as the door opened, everyone felt relieved to see the black car driving back safely.
Bai Qingling was a little depressed when he got out of the car.
I didn't pay much attention to the sudden ringing of the phone in the hall.
She waved her hand at the servant, "Whoever it is, they say I'm asleep." ”
*
At dinner, Yan Lou returned.
There are dim lights in the small western-style building, and there are also dim lights in the restaurant.
As he walked into the hall, the next man took the box in his hand.
"Where's the eldest lady?"
"I stayed in the bedroom since I came back and didn't come out." The next person returns.
"Did you use dinner?"
"Nope."
Bai Qingling did not eat in the restaurant, nor did he let the kitchen prepare porridge soup, and he nested alone in the bedroom and did not come out.
She lazily hugged the quilt on the bed, and a French original book was clasped next to her pillow, drowsy.
There was two knocks on the door, and she opened her eyes, "What's the matter?" ”
"It's me." After Yan Lou finished speaking, he pushed the door open.
Bai Qingling yawned, sat up, and pointed to the chair again, motioning for him to sit down and speak.
She was really sleepy, but when he came, there was no way when he was sick, and now that he is better, he can't still lie down and talk to him.
It's too unorthodox.
Yan Lou sat down and looked at her tired appearance, "The maid said you didn't eat dinner." ”
"Not very hungry."
When the words fell, Bai Qingling's stomach rang at the right time.
She pursed her lower lip, "I don't have much appetite, I don't want to eat." ”
"Then let the kitchen handle the cheeseline dessert and the fruit ice cream I brought back."
"You bought it?" Bai Qingling's sleepiness retreated for a while, and he got out of bed as he spoke, bypassed him and opened the door directly, and went downstairs directly.
"Go slower."
The man's slightly muffled voice came from behind her, but it couldn't stop her cheerful steps.
But after walking a few steps, she was dizzy for a while, and then her eyes were dark, her knees were soft, and she almost knelt on the ground, and she hurriedly held on to the wall.
Yan Lou stepped forward a few steps, picked her up horizontally, and went back to the bedroom.
Bai Qingling's dizziness only lasted for a few seconds, and he quickly eased up, seeing that he didn't take her to the restaurant, but went back to the bedroom, and his voice was also full of eagerness, "I didn't eat well today, but I can eat ice cream!" ”
The man placed her in place, and looked at her helplessly, "I'm almost hungry and faint, so I don't need dinner?" ”
As he spoke, he rang the bell and ordered his subordinates to bring in the porridge.
"It's not that there are ice cream and desserts, why do you let me drink porridge, I don't drink it!" Bai Qingling was a little angry, "Why are you so stingy, you can't let people eat it if you buy it." ”
"Porridge first, then dessert, and ice cream at the end." The man said.
In the end, she couldn't, so Miss Bai took his hand and drank a small half bowl of porridge quickly, and when it came to dessert, she refused to borrow his hand anyway.
Desserts, while well made, are not as appealing as fruit ice cream.
After two bites, she pushed the dessert aside and spread her hand at him, "Give me ice cream!" ”
Her soft tone, coupled with her little face that had just recovered from her illness, was touching.
Yan Lou took down the cover on the ice cream and handed her the cup, "You can't eat more." ”
Bai Qingling didn't respond, so he only let him move the table to the side of the bed, but after a few bites, he put it down again, and looked at him coyly, "I can't eat it." ”
"If you can't eat it, you won't eat it." With that, the man moved the table aside, wiped the ice cream from the corner of her lips with his fingertips, and handed her a glass of warm water.
She took two sips and handed it to him, "When I went out in the afternoon, I passed by Xiang's company and saw a lot of debt collectors. ”
Yan Lou was silent for a moment and said slowly, "Tomorrow, I will go to the barracks and select a few guards to come over." ”
"I want accurate marksmanship and strong martial arts." Having achieved his goal, Bai Qingling covered his mouth and yawned, "I'm sleepy." ”
After Yan Lou left, she turned off the lights and closed the heavy curtains, but she didn't close her eyes and sleep immediately.
In the dark, she was a little more awake than before.
The Lu family, the Xiang family, the Liu family, and even the Zhao Xifeng family were all opposed.
If it was yesterday, she was only afraid of the kidnapping and use of the Lu family, and now she is even afraid of the insignificant Xiang family and the Liu family.
It's very uncomfortable.
When did she live so carefully?
Even Qishilin and Li Shunde did not dare to go again, for fear of retaliation.
It shouldn't be, it really shouldn't.
In the end, she summed it up and boiled everything down to the fact that the current caution is also because the handsome seal has no owner and the military power has no owner.
If you don't hold a ceremony for a day, you can't live a life for a day.
Then she has to get better and hurry up to do the ceremony!
Thinking about it in his head, Bai Qingling fell asleep after a while.
Outside the door, Yan Lou never left.
In the dark corridor where the lights were not turned on, he was leaning against the wall, his face cold.
Through the door, hearing the sound of even breathing coming from inside, he turned his face sideways, turned and pushed the door open.
In the dark, he stood by the bed, looked down at the slightly immature little face in his sleep, bent over, and pressed his warm lips to her forehead.
*
The next day, when Bai Qingling woke up again, it was already past noon.
After this night, all the previous unhappiness seems to be completely healed.
She opened the curtains, stretched, and was in a much better mood.
When I went downstairs for lunch, Xia Huanqin came uninvited.
with another uninvited Bai Wensheng.
Bai Qingling was wearing a black ankle-length dress, sitting in the restaurant and looking at the two of them, which was very strange.
"Did you have lunch?" Miss Bai didn't want her lunch to be disturbed, but since she had already arrived, she didn't mind eating together.
Xia Huanqin shook his head, "Not yet, Bai Wensheng said that he was looking for you in a hurry, and he was afraid that he would be misunderstood if he came to you alone, so he invited me to come over." ”
She sat directly beside Bai Qingling and asked her subordinates for a lunch.
Bai Qingling looked at Bai Wensheng again, "What about you?" ”
Bai Wensheng shook his head, "I can't eat it." ”
He pointed to the hall, "I'll wait for you there." ”
As he spoke, the subordinate took it.
Bai Qingling tilted his head to look at Xia Huanqin, "What's the matter?" ”
"I don't know, I looked very bad when I came over in the morning," Xia Huanqin pointed to the center of his eyebrows, "My brows are furrowed." ”
Bai Qingling thought for a while and asked her, "Is there something wrong with his family's business?" ”
"I don't know, anyway, something happened to the Xiang family, the Zhao family, and the Liu family yesterday." Xia Huanqin pointed meaningfully, "Did you say that your Adjutant Yan did it?" ”
"Don't ask knowingly," Bai Qingling glanced at her, "Bai Wensheng left a painting the day before yesterday, do you know what it is?" ”
"It can't be a painting of love," she laughed, "he won't be that stupid." You and your Adjutant Yan have both posted a marriage notice, if he really does this, he will completely offend the future Yan Dashuai! ”
After speaking, she looked at Bai Qingling's face and put down the spoon, she was also very shocked, "He won't really do this, right?!" ”
Bai Qingling nodded, "He really did it." ”
"My God, why is he so stupid, he loves you to the point of not caring about you like this!" Xia Huanqin covered her mouth and exclaimed quietly.
"I don't know if he loves me to the point of this, but I never imagined that he was so stupid, so even if something happened to his family, I couldn't do anything," Bai Qingling smiled lightly, "I can't let my future husband be wronged." ”
Xia Huanqin looked at her in surprise, "Did Yan Lou give you psychedelic magic?" You're defending him like that. ”
"How is it possible, he is not a Taoist priest or a goblin." Bai Qingling glanced at her.
"Forget it, I'll only contact you to meet each other, whether he's good or bad, I can't care about it." After Xia Huanqin finished speaking, he continued to eat.
Here for dinner, the two ladies came to the hall holding each other's hands.
Bai Wensheng was standing not far in front of the mural, looking at the mural with a slightly pale face.
"Sit down and talk," Bai Qingling sat on the sofa and pointed to the opposite position farther away from her, "You can sit there." ”
Bai Wensheng turned around and looked at her, "Classmate Bai, have you seen the painting I brought over that day?" ”
Xia Huanqin looked at him and shook his head at him, suggesting that he should stop talking.
Bai Qingling nodded, "I've seen it, what's wrong?" ”
Seeing that her attitude was so calm, and even a little cold, Bai Wensheng's heart sank, eased, and asked again, "Classmate Bai, do you understand what I mean?" ”
Bai Qingling frowned, "What do you mean." ”
Hearing this, Bai Wensheng still didn't understand anything.
He smiled self-deprecatingly, "I was desperately in love with you for many years, thinking that if I became better, I still had some opportunities, but now it seems that there is no chance at all." ”
"Bai Wensheng, you visited the day before yesterday and left such a reverie painting, and today you suddenly came over to express your love, is it me Bai Qingling who is too good for you to ignore, or do you have any purpose to achieve? If something happens at home and you need my Bai Qingling's help, I will still consider it if I say it bluntly, and declare that you love me like this, even if I want to agree to help,"
She pointed to Yan Lou who was standing at the door of the hall, "He won't agree either." ”
