Chu Yuqi had been waiting at the hotel all day and was getting impatient.

Bai Lingzhi also wanted to come to Xuanmen to see the situation, so she suggested coming along, and they came together.

Bai Lingzhi contacted someone close to Bai Tingtao and then turned to Chu Yuqi, saying, "Dad will be out soon. We'll just wait in the car."

Chu Yuqi nodded. She didn't want to get out of the car either. If the Xuanmen people saw her, wouldn't she be walking into a trap?

Her gaze shifted to the outside of the car window, and she froze.

Cheng Jingru and Shen Boyuan appeared on the street corner, surrounded by a large entourage, looking incredibly spirited.

The thought that she didn't even dare to get out of the car made Chu Yuqi's anger rise rapidly.

Why should I?

——

Cheng Jingru suddenly turned around.

"What's wrong?" someone asked.

She looked away from the car behind the bushes and shook her head. "It's nothing, let's go."

As the group walked to the gate, they saw a group of people coming out. The person next to Cheng Jingru tugged at her, signaling her to stop.

"That's Old Bai. Be careful, he has a bad temper," someone nearby advised.

Cheng Jingru silently remembered and nodded. She knew she had been too prominent lately, which made her unpopular with Elder Bai; plus her past conflict with Chu Yuqi…

"Huh, who is that person?" Cheng Jingru suddenly asked in confusion.

One of my senior classmates knew something about her: "She was a victim at the scene of Yuan Qingwan's arrest. Yuan Qingwan used her as a substitute. I heard she was only in her thirties. Her vital energy and life force were drained from her, which is why she became like this."

Cheng Jingru didn't dare to look any longer: "That's quite pitiful."
