Chapter 424: Keep your distance
"Isn't it normal for friends to help each other? Why is it not suitable? Or do you think I'm too ugly and afraid of gossip? Nightshade knew she couldn't keep her, and she couldn't change her mind, but she couldn't help but struggle to the death.
"It has nothing to do with how you look, but it has to do with your gender." Xin Ying tried her best to hold back the guilt and guilt that rose in her heart, only to feel that his direct gaze made her a little embarrassed, she took a deep breath and closed the lid of the lunch box, "I'm full, go and dry the clothes first, you still use the washing machine tomorrow, it's not a precious material, there is no need to wash it by hand." ”
With that, she went straight to the bathroom and turned the faucet back on.
Nightshade sat alone at the small dining table, looking at the table full of dishes, and suddenly had no interest in eating, even if he changed his face, wouldn't she want to give her a chance to get close to her?
Or is this face really too unattractive, I would have known that he would make himself look better.
Is it too late for him to change it to you now?
Just when Night Shadow was very entangled and annoyed in her heart, Xin Ying came out with her well-dressed clothes, and Night Shadow subconsciously reached out and grabbed her arm: "You just put it there, I'll dry it myself for a while." ”
Xin Ying glanced at his bandaged hand lightly, and refused: "No need, I've washed everything, and it won't be a bother to dry it." ”
With that, she went to the small balcony.
I have to say that the treatment of the servants in the Bai family villa is really okay, each has a single dormitory, and it is also equipped with a small balcony, although it is not big, but it is complete, and the window view is also excellent.
"Okay, in order to thank you for saving me, do you say to ask for money or something, even if you take a bite, there will always be a time when I can pay it back." Xin Ying looked businesslike, and she didn't have the familiarity and casualness that she had when she entered the door.
Nightshade's heart couldn't help but sink and sink, but the words became extremely bitter: "Do you have money?" Is it so hard to do my laundry? My hands won't be ready in a few days, and I can't wash them for a few days. ”
God knows how much he wants to keep her, even if it's an excuse to wash his clothes, he wants to keep her.
"No! Today is the first and last time, so let's keep our distance between the two of us. After Xin Ying finished speaking, he left without looking back.
Nightshade looked at the door that she threw mercilessly, her eyes dimmed to the extreme, and then, a wry smile appeared on her lips, he still wanted to get close to her in another identity, but it still couldn't.
In the next few days, Xin Ying kept her distance from Night Shadow as she said, and even if the two of them met again in the villa, they would just say hello, which was really stranger than strangers.
Xin Ying thinks this is very good, no matter what kind of mentality Night Shadow reports to contact her, she doesn't think it's a good thing, at least, before she starts a new life, she doesn't want to start another inexplicable relationship, let alone fall in love with a man.
The news that Xin Zewen was going back to N City somehow reached Bai Feng's ears, and now, he really couldn't wait.
That night, after Xin Ying reported the old man's movements for the day to him in the old man's study as usual, Bai Feng told her: "At twelve o'clock in the evening, you come to the gate of the villa, and I will send someone to send you something." ”
Xin Ying was stunned for a moment and asked, "Send me something?" ”
That's so ambiguous........
However, in the next second, she was sobered up by Bai Feng's words: "Yes, you remember not to let others find out, you want to mix this thing into the old man's food and let him eat it." ”
Xin Ying's eyes widened, and she asked nervously: "Young master, young master, don't you want me to poison, I don't kill people, I don't dare." ”
She pretended to be timid and scared, and even if the other party couldn't see her movements, she shook her head like a wave.
"What are you afraid of, a girl who has no interest, isn't it just a medicine, it can only make him unconscious, but it is not fatal." Seeing that she looked timid and scared, Bai Feng immediately raised his voice and shouted.
Xin Ying was shocked by his roar, and then cautiously confirmed: "Really won't eat the dead?" Murder is to be imprisoned, young master, can't I not earn your money? ”
"No! You're already on my boat, you have to do it, you have to do it, you have to do it, otherwise, I'll get you in jail too, you know, with my means, it's not difficult to make something at all. Bai Feng said with a frightened and threatening voice.
Xin Ying was silent for a while, and finally resigned herself to her fate: "Okay, I'll wait directly at the door at twelve o'clock in the evening." ”
"Well, remember, don't let people see it, otherwise you'll ......" He didn't finish his words later, but the meaning of the threat was already obvious, Xin Ying said in a loud voice to understand, and the other party hung up the phone.
There was silence in the study for a while.
She spoke to Bai Feng on the phone, and the old man naturally heard it, as Master Bai's personal butler, the white housekeeper was naturally there, and for a while, no one spoke.
The atmosphere was extremely cold, and in the end, it was Butler Bai who took the lead in speaking: "This second young master can't wait." ”
Xin Ying gritted his teeth and guessed, "Does he know that Mr. Xin is coming to N City tomorrow?" ”
In addition to this reason, she couldn't think of why Bai Feng suddenly wanted to attack the old man, after all, she had been putting pressure on the old man before, trying to make him clearly transfer the shares to him in front of the lawyer, if the old man was unconscious, even if the lawyer was present, he would not be able to legally get the shares.
However, the situation is different now, Xin Zewen is coming back.
Although he can't get shares, he can make the old man unable to take care of himself, so that even if he can't get shares, he can still control the company justifiably.
"Girl, from the moment you entered the villa, you seem to be very clear about the affairs of our Bai family." Old Man Bai's sharp gaze swept back and forth on Xin Ying's body, "Otherwise, you wouldn't have been mentioning the Xin family in front of me, intentionally or unintentionally." ”
Xin Ying knew that she was so skilled, but she was no match for two scheming old men, and she suddenly didn't dare to lie: "Yes, of course I know, if Miss Xin hadn't asked me to come, I wouldn't have come here." ”
"What do you say? Xin Ying asked you to come? Old Man Bai's voice raised an octave, if it weren't for the good sound insulation in the study, he would have attracted the attention of others at this time.
"Of course, otherwise, how would I know so much about your Bai family, and if I hadn't mentioned the Xin family, your old man wouldn't have left me, didn't you already know this?" Xin Ying said frankly with a gentleman's face.
"How much do you know?" Old Man Bai asked.
He must know to what extent the Xin family trusts this girl, because it is also related to his next plan.
"I don't know much, besides, I also heard some when you quarreled with Young Master Bai Feng that day, Mr. Xin is also your son, but he hasn't come back for many years, Young Master Bai Feng is very jealous of him, and now when I hear that he is coming back, I am probably really anxious." Xin Ying roughly revealed this relationship, "As for why he hasn't come back for so many years, he hasn't said specifically, but I can also see that you don't care about him at all." ”
"But I can't figure it out, since I care, why didn't I call him back earlier, now that Young Master Bai Feng is covering the sky in the company, you have so many eyeliners around your old man, and your life is worse than that of us ordinary people, I just can't figure it out, you don't want Young Master Bai Feng to inherit the company, why don't you get Mr. Xin back?"
At this point, she is really puzzled, she doesn't care what happened more than 20 years ago, and what the truth is, but based on her observation of Old Man Bai these days, he really cares about Xin Zewen, and even cares about her, a granddaughter who has never called him a grandfather.
But since he cares and cares, how can he bear not looking for him for more than 20 years? I knew where he was and what he was doing, so why did I put myself in such a situation only to find out that I was actually missing that son more and more?
In her Xin Ying's consciousness, as long as she cares, don't wait, after all, life is short for decades, how many twenty years have you wasted?
"Xiao Thirteen, you're asking too much, go out." Steward Bai glanced at Old Man Bai's face, knowing that he was sad again, for fear that Xin Ying would ask something surprising next, so he hurriedly began to drive people away.
"It's okay, Ah Liang, since she was sent over there, then there are some things that can't be let her know, after so many years, in the end, I'm just angry that he really left, and never looked back, and didn't even connect to the phone, I'm his son, is it difficult for me to pull down my face to make peace with him?" Old Man Bai said, smiling bitterly, "It turns out that I have lived for decades, and I am not as transparent as a little girl." ”
Xin Ying looked at the old man in front of him in surprise, who seemed to be a few years older at the moment, and suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart, he thought that there was something inside here, but it turned out to be just a face.
It turned out that he had been waiting for Xin Zewen to take the initiative to soften, but he didn't expect that after waiting for more than 20 years, that son would live a plain and comfortable life in another city, and he didn't have the slightest intention of coveting the rich life before.
At this time, it's probably frustrating, right?
At twelve o'clock in the morning, Xin Ying waited at the door of the villa, and after a while, a black car drove in front of her, the window fell, and a man in a black suit handed her a bottle and confessed: "Mr. Bai said, as long as the dose is not large, it will not cause serious consequences, you don't have to have a psychological burden, if you don't dare to do it, Mr. Bai will naturally find someone else to do it, and at that time, the same will push the pot on you." ”
