"Why did Qiaoqiao drink so much?"

Bai Zuoling frowned. He had only been standing on the balcony for a while when he shivered from the cold, not to mention that Lu Qiaoqiao had drunk so much.

Just as he was about to ask someone to bring him a coat, Lu Qiaoqiao waved her hand. "It's okay, Brother Bai. I'm just happy today. Knowing that you'll have Sister Huan by your side from now on, I'm happy for you! I'm also...very envious of you guys."

Hearing this, Bai Zuoling's tense expression relaxed a little, "What nonsense are you talking about."

"Our Qiaoqiao is so good. Now that you've gotten rid of Lao Er, you'll have a good life in the future. There's no need to envy anyone."

As he spoke, Bai Zuoling subconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to pinch Lu Qiaoqiao's face, but seemed to realize that this was inappropriate, so he rubbed her head instead.

He completely ignored the flash of loneliness in Lu Qiaoqiao's eyes.

"Okay, let me talk to Huanhuan. It's cold outside, let's go inside."

Lu Qiaoqiao didn't say anything else. She nodded, turned around and left the balcony with a smile on her face.

Without giving Bai Zuoling a chance to speak, Lin Chunhuan immediately said as soon as Lu Qiaoqiao left: "Qiaoqiao is going to marry that Dong guy. Did you know about this?"

She would not help Lu Qiaoqiao to hide the matter. Since neither the Lu family nor the Dong family had publicized the matter, she would tell the story herself.

What a stupid thing it is to think you are doing this for her own good, but in the end the misunderstandings only get bigger and bigger.

As for whether Lu Qiaoqiao was really desperate or had lost her mind, it had nothing to do with her.

All she had to do was to prevent Bai Zuoling from holding a grudge against her for this matter and pull some lousy trick like "If you had told me at the beginning, nothing would have happened in the end."

"What?"

Sure enough, after hearing this, Bai Zuoling was completely stunned. After a while, he came to his senses and asked, "What's the surname Dong?"

Lin Chunhuan didn't say anything, just stared into his eyes.

Bai Zuoling understood this look, "You are talking about Dong..."

Still silent.

But Bai Zuoling's expression became even uglier. "How did you know?"

"She said so herself."

Lin Chunhuan retracted his gaze and sighed, "Actually, I don't want to get involved in this matter. You know, although I have the Jiang family's support, I am just an adopted daughter. I can't control her, and it will only bring trouble to myself."

I’m sorry, Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang!

After silently apologizing in his heart, the helplessness and self-mockery on Lin Chunhuan's face became more obvious.

It vividly displays the helplessness and unwillingness of a woman towards marriage from a female perspective.

"Whether it's Qiaoqiao or me, we're both tools for the family's benefit. But Qiaoqiao is still so young, she's done nothing wrong, and I don't want her to have no future."

Bai Zuoling also fell silent.

When Lin Chunhuan couldn't stand the cold any more and was already considering asking 009 to get her some high-tech cold-proof suit, Bai Zuoling nodded gently and said, "I will handle this matter. It won't involve you and the Jiang family."

"Thank you for telling me."

Bai Zuoling knew very well that even though the Lu family and the Dong family had a business marriage, if both sides wanted to keep a low profile, Lu Qiaoqiao herself would not say it.

It is very likely that the marriage has already taken place without his knowledge.

Bai Zuoling's breathing stopped when he thought that he might hear the news that Lu Qiaoqiao was beaten and paralyzed one day in the future.

"I'm sorry, today I was..."

"It doesn't matter." Before Bai Zuoling could finish the rest of his words, Lin Chunhuan chuckled and said, "Do what you think you should do, just like Lin Na naturally stood on the side of the second young master Bai."

"It's natural for me to stand by your side."

Bai Zuoling fell silent, his eyes dim and unclear, and it was unclear what he was thinking. In the end, he just smiled and said, "Okay."

"Let's go, let's go celebrate Grandpa's birthday."

The banquet was grand, but the really important people were all in the small courtyard at the back.

Lin Chunhuan followed Bai Zuoling into the house with a smile on his face. When he looked up, he saw Lin Na standing next to Grandpa Bai and smiling.

Seeing her coming, Lin Na's eyes were full of provocation. However, before Lin Chunhuan could respond, Grandpa Bai had already stood up and greeted her, "Huanhuan is here! Come on, come here, come to Grandpa!"

When passing by Yu Xin, Lin Chunhuan noticed the worry in her eyes and shook his head gently at her.

"When did Huanhuan come? Grandpa has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Grandpa Bai's tone and attitude were very warm, and he didn't take into account her discomfort at all for taking the blame for Bai Lao Er.

It's acting, who can't do it?

Lin Chunhuan immediately put on a smile and stood on Grandpa Bai's left and right with Lin Na.

The difference was that Lin Na was just standing there, and she was holding Grandpa Bai's hand. "It's all my fault. I've been here for a while. I just met two friends outside and exchanged a few words."

"Next time I will definitely come to see Grandpa as soon as possible!"

Grandpa Bai laughed heartily, "You, your little mouth is as sweet as honey, and the words you say make people happy!"

"Third brother, you should learn from my granddaughter-in-law and stop having such a stern face all day long!"

Bai Zuoling, who was suddenly called out, raised his eyes slightly and gave a polite smile. But the next moment, his eyes fell on Lin Na's face, "Why haven't I seen this person before?"

There was a moment of silence.

Because of that incident, the Bai family secretly changed the marriage arrangements of their three grandsons. This was no secret, but no one brought it up openly.

But the silence was only for a moment, and Grandpa Bai quickly regained his smile. "You haven't met her yet. This is Lin Na, your future sister-in-law."

"Nana, this is our third child. He was only found this year. You will be the sister-in-law in the future, so you must be more considerate of your younger siblings."

Lin Na was about to agree with a smile when she heard Bai Zuoling chuckle, "Second sister-in-law? Isn't Second sister-in-law Lu Qiaoqiao? When did she become a Lin Na?"

"Second brother, Miss Lu has done nothing wrong to you, right?"

"Bai Zuoling, don't go too far!"

Seeing the anger on Bai Laoer's face, Bai Zuoling's smile grew even wider. "It turns out that Second Brother even knows the word 'excessive' in the dictionary."

"Then why didn't you think it was excessive when you begged Grandpa to let Huanhuan take the blame for you?"

Is this guy trying to help her?

Lin Chunhuan looked at Bai Zuoling in surprise. In the original world quest line, Bai Zuoling had never protected anyone except Fatty and Lu Qiaoqiao.

Even those quick-travelers who came to complete the mission and gave birth to his children had never received such treatment.

Does this mean that Bai Zuoling has begun to accept her?

Before Lin Chunhuan could explain why, Bai Laoer laughed, "So you're just trying to stand up for this woman. Bai Zuoling, don't get it wrong. It was you who slept with her, not me."
