He was almost at the gate when he finally remembered his previous behavior. It seemed that he was a little too hasty. He finally slowed down a little to allow the servant behind him to catch up.

Bai Chi pretended not to see anything, but took two steps forward when Zhong Yunxiao came out.

"Brother, my parents are here to see me. Xiaotao said they're just outside the door and want to see me."

Bai Chi looked embarrassed, even with a hint of worry and resistance.

It seems that he doesn't really want to see his parents, but the "filial piety" he has learned over the years makes him not know how to refuse.

Zhong Yunxiao immediately recalled the information he had just seen. Apart from Bai Chi himself, he knew best how much injustice Bai Chi had suffered at home over the years.

Thinking about those two gamblers and the money they lost in the past few days, it must be no good when they come to find Bai Chi.

But if Bai Chi is not allowed to see his parents, it will be bad for his reputation if it gets out.

In just a short moment, all kinds of thoughts flashed through Zhong Yunxiao's mind, which was actually only one or two breaths of time, and then he walked directly to Bai Chi.

"Since they are your parents, they are also relatives of the Zhong family. I will go with you to the door to pick them up."

He looked so calm, as if he was Bai Chi's legitimate husband, not her uncle.

Bai Chi pretended to be embarrassed for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, Xiao Tao, where are my parents you just mentioned?"

Xiao Tao didn't notice at all that the eldest young master and the second young master's wife exchanged glances, and then turned back to talking about what happened when they met the parents who called themselves Bai Chi when they came back just now.

The door is a side door, but it is very close to Bai Chi's yard, so Xiao Tao usually goes out from there, and the couple naturally waits outside the side door.

When they walked over, they saw a middle-aged couple walking back and forth anxiously outside the door.

When they saw them, they ignored Zhong Yunxiao and only saw Bai Chi.

"Son, you're finally out. It's not easy to see you now. It's different when you have a good life. The clothes you wear look expensive!"

As soon as the couple spoke, their words made people feel uncomfortable.

"Yes, son, you are now the daughter-in-law of the richest man. You have everything you need, all thanks to your father who agreed to this marriage."

Those greedy eyes, like two vampires, stared straight at the clothes on Bai Chi's body.

Although her clothes are not as colorful as those worn by other people, the material is obviously valuable, and she has maids and servants serving her.

The second young master of the Zhong family is dead, so they don’t even have to sleep together. They are just lucky!

The obvious greed in the two men's eyes made Bai Chi pause and instinctively frown, as if he didn't know how to respond.

Zhong Yunxiao, who took Bai Chi's reaction into consideration the whole time, took a long step and walked directly in front of Bai Chi, staring coldly at the two greedy guys in front of him who were very mean to Bai Chi.

"You two are quite arrogant. He is now the young lady of my Zhong family!"

Zhong Yunxiao deliberately omitted the word "two" and secretly took advantage of Bai Chi.

Bai Chi pretended not to hear, and Xiao Tao didn't understand at all and was glaring at the couple outside the door.

Although Xiao Tao didn't know what the Second Young Master's wife's life was like in the past, and she had never asked anyone to investigate, but she had served Bai Chi for so long that she knew about the scars on Bai Chi's hands and feet from work, and the chilblains from the cold!

The couple finally saw Zhong Yunxiao clearly, but unfortunately, they knew that the Zhong family had an eldest son who was the future head of the family, but they didn't know what Zhong Yunxiao looked like.

In addition, because of the death of his younger brother, Zhong Yunxiao has been wearing low-key dark-colored clothes during this period.

Bai Chi's parents were ignorant and naturally could not recognize that the cloth on Zhong Yunxiao's body was fine satin worth a hundred taels.

They even thought that the man in dark clothes was a servant of the Zhong family, so they frowned and sneered indifferently.

"What's wrong? He's no longer my son just because he marries into a rich family? Just because he's enjoying life to the fullest, he can leave his father alone?"

The more he talked, the angrier Bai Chi's father became, and he glared at Bai Chi who was hiding behind Zhong Yunxiao.

"I'm telling you, Bai Chi, I'm telling you clearly that your mother and I are here today specifically to get money. You've been living comfortably for the past half month, with no one at home to cook or wash clothes. Your brothers and sisters are almost starving to death. Hurry up and give me the money, or I'll go to the county magistrate and sue you for being unfilial!"

[Today, I was browsing the comments section and saw someone say they wanted to see Chi Chi travel back to before her marriage. I agreed at the time, but I got busy and forgot. I'll write about it in the next world!]
