The crowd snorted almost inaudibly, laughing at her naivety and childishness, thinking it was just a children's fight where the loser called their parents for help.
Instead, Song Yuheng's expression changed slightly, and he tentatively asked, "You wouldn't, would you? Are you...?"
"Yes, I called my sister over," Lin Xiaoxue replied matter-of-factly.
"Hiss," Song Yuheng gritted his teeth. It would have been better to call Bai Ruan himself. That guy dotes on his wife so much. If he knew that these people were disturbing his wife and children, he could give everyone here a needle and make them paralyzed and unable to move.
"Come on, I'll take you back." Song Yuheng decided to cut his losses and leave with Lin Xiaoxue now to avoid trouble. He really miscalculated today; he shouldn't have brought Lin Xiaoxue along.
This guy is such a troublemaker. He's been acting so much that he's become neurotic.
Lin Xiaoxue didn't care. These people didn't welcome her, and she didn't want to play with them. They wanted her to fawn over them. Dream on.
"Hey, Fourth Young Master Song, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Dinner is about to start, you should at least finish eating before you go, right?" There are always people who love to watch the drama unfold and don't mind making things worse, so they blocked Song Yuheng's way so he couldn't leave.
"Li Guang, get out of my way, or I'll beat you up if you keep babbling." Song Yuheng's previous nonchalant attitude vanished, and his face darkened.
Li Guang was not threatened. He smiled and looked him up and down several times. "This woman is pretty and has a bad temper. What's so good about her that she's worth protecting like this?"
"What's it to you? Do I need you to tell me how to do things?" These people are all born with a silver spoon in their mouths. They've been beaten up since they were little. They all have bad tempers and will argue at the slightest provocation. They might even start a fight later.
"Song Yuheng, if you want to fight, just say so." Li Guang was a belligerent man, and this was a good opportunity to provoke Song Yuheng so that the two of them could have a good fight and stretch their muscles.
"Too arrogant, clearly looking for trouble. Yuheng, hit him, hit him to death, show no mercy." Lin Xiaoxue pushed the man forward, but jumped several feet away herself, distancing herself from the situation.
Song Pingheng was forced into this situation, stuck in a dilemma – whether to act or not, he couldn't decide. Lin Xiaoxue was such a troublemaker; he would break up with her completely the next day.
"Come on, let's go outside. There's more space here. Don't break Eisen's furniture. Let's have a proper spar." Li Guang cracked his knuckles, looking eager to start a fight.
A group of people noisily left the hall and came to the empty courtyard outside. Whether it was because the owners did not usually live here, or because the owners simply did not like flowers and plants, nothing was planted in the garden.
An open space was perfect for a fight. Song Yuheng was actually a very lazy person. He would avoid fighting if he could avoid it. Moreover, he didn't exercise much, so he would definitely be at a disadvantage if he got into a fight. At this moment, he was in a dilemma. If he didn't fight, he would definitely be laughed at by everyone.
"Screech!" At the crucial moment, the sound of brakes came from outside. Someone else was coming. Everyone's attention was drawn to the newcomer, and they all turned around to look.
Bai Junbo got out of the driver's seat, walked around to the passenger side, opened the door, and let Lin Taozi out of the car. Lin Taozi was wearing someone's suit jacket, while the person was only wearing an iron gray shirt. His tie had been torn off, and two buttons on his shirt were also torn off, making him look somewhat disheveled and domineering.
"So enthusiastic, all of you came out to welcome me? I'm truly flattered." Bai Junbai walked forward with a half-smile, his eyes sweeping over Lin Xiaoxue's face.
Mingxuan just called and told him to make sure Lin Xiaoxue is brought back safely, otherwise Mingxuan will bring people to demolish this place. It's not that it can't be demolished, but the Eisen family has been gone from China for more than ten years, and their business in China has all been transferred to the United States. Although some influence remains here.
But the Bai family didn't take it seriously. They could demolish the castle whenever they wanted. He was also among those invited today. He didn't want to come, but lately he didn't know why, he was getting tired of these gatherings and felt that he would rather go home and see Xiao Moxun.
He hadn't even noticed anything unusual about himself until Lin Xiazhu asked him, "Second Uncle, you've been coming back so early lately. Aren't you going out to play?"
He was surprised to realize that he had been going home on time for half a month straight. When he got home, he would ask the maid to bring him Xiao Moxun, and he would hold him all night until he fell asleep.
Bai Junbai: "..." What's wrong with him? Why does he suddenly like taking care of children?
"Second Uncle, are you thinking about getting married? That's right, you're already quite old, you should be more concerned about your marriage. Otherwise, it'll be awkward when your child is born after An and I have become grandparents." Lin Xiazhu was either deliberately provoking him or influenced by Bai Zhengping, and she was quite blunt in her retort.
Oh no, we've gone off on a tangent again. The reason he came here again is because these people are all his childhood friends. They don't see each other often, but they get together every year. He played with Eisen for several years when he was a kid, back when he was in the US, and he had a good relationship with Eisen.
The others actually had a better relationship with Song Yuheng. Song Yuheng had known him since childhood. When he was young, Song Yuheng also spent many years in the United States, living at Aisen's house. Later, he returned to China first and met a group of people. When Bai Junbai returned, they naturally started hanging out together.
Out of respect for their acquaintance and mutual understanding, he stepped in to salvage the situation, lest Mingxuan offend everyone and he find himself caught in the middle, pleasing neither side.
"Junbai, weren't you not coming? Well, you actually managed to create a surprise." The person who spoke walked over and punched him on the shoulder, greeting him with a grin.
Lin Taozi stood by the car for a moment, stunned. She had flagged down Bai Junbai's car halfway through the journey. It was quite a coincidence. She had been tricked and thrown out of the car halfway through the journey. The place was very remote, and there were hardly any passing vehicles around. It was also late at night, which terrified her.
But she didn't cry. Her older sister had said that you have to stay calm in times of crisis, because tears are the most useless thing. You can wait until later to shed tears, but you must come up with a solution first.
She left her wallet and phone in the car, and the person didn't throw them down for her. She had no other tools to help her except her two feet. She picked up a large rock from the roadside as a weapon for self-defense and walked forward tremblingly, hoping to reach the intersection where she could hail a taxi as soon as possible.
After walking for about an hour without finding a taxi, she saw a car coming and rushed over to block the road like a madwoman. If Bai Junbai hadn't been a skilled driver, she would have been hit and thrown into the air.
"You're asking for it." Bai Junbai was also startled. If the person in front of him hadn't looked familiar, he would never have gotten out of the car to meddle. He would have immediately gone around him and sped away.
"Waaaah..." After seeing who it was, Lin Tao didn't care about anything else and just threw herself into his arms and cried.
Bai Junbai stiffened for a moment, then softened his tone and asked, "Were you robbed or raped?" Otherwise, why would you be crying so miserably as soon as you see him, even though you've lost your shoes?
