There's a warm and cozy atmosphere here.
The study on the third floor of the villa was completely silent.
The eldest son covered his face and murmured, "Dad, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry... I didn't know it would turn out like this..."
Boss Bai knew that the old man still had something, but he didn't know exactly what it was or where it was hidden.
The purpose of bringing them here was to keep them under my watchful eye, making it easier to interrogate and exploit them step by step.
The plan was to have the old man's bodyguards watch over him while he was sick, so that they could take action against Bai Yajing. However, she was lucky enough to survive.
But he never intended to kill the old man! That was his father! How could he possibly want him dead?
I just didn't expect the old man's health to be so poor...
Bai Zhihua sighed softly, "Dad, things have come to this, we have no other choice!"
Bai Zhigang thought so too: "Yes, fortunately, Grandpa finally took the things out. Although they are in that woman's hands, as long as she is still in the Bai family, we have plenty of ways to get them back!"
Boss Bai didn't say anything, but silence was the best response.
The next day, my aunt and third aunt "coincidentally" came to visit, bringing a bowl of fruit. Their eyes scanned the room like searchlights, finally landing on the tightly wrapped bundle next to the old man's pillow.
"Grandpa hasn't been feeling well lately. Is he having some kind of health problems due to the change in environment? By the way, I heard you're planning to spend your retirement with us?"
"Is there anything important that you forgot to bring from the inland? Should we ask Yun Chang to have someone go back and look for it?" she asked casually.
Auntie was peeling oranges for the old man, smiling and agreeing, "Yes, Dad, since you're going to retire here, you should definitely bring your things from over there..."
Bai Yajing was giving the old man acupuncture when she heard this. Without even looking up, she said, "We're a poor family with nothing left. We've donated all our valuables. We're so sorry to trouble you, Aunt and Third Aunt."
The two women exchanged a glance, both eyes revealing shrewdness.
"Oh dear, look at what my niece is saying! One shouldn't be too greedy! Of course, the old man's things should stay with him!"
"That's right, all the elders in the family are here, so there's no need for you, a married niece, to worry about this!"
Bai Yajing was unmoved by their sarcastic remarks and coldly said, "Well said. Since the family has already separated back then, and you have received your share, you can't be too greedy. I'm sure my aunt and third aunt understand the principle that greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant."
Besides, Auntie, aren't you a married woman too? Come to think of it, I'm learning this from you!
A few words from him made both women change color, but the old man remained unmoved, not thinking at all that there was anything wrong with a junior talking back to an elder.
This left them speechless for a moment. After all, the old man was biased and wouldn't really help them, and Bai Yajing was clearly not someone to be fooled.
They chuckled at the same time, but said nothing more. However, their gazes were like sticky spider silk, making it hard to breathe.
Bai Yajing felt nauseous and couldn't wait any longer.
Just then, Bai Zhihua pushed open the door and entered.
He excitedly held up the invitation in his hand, "Grandpa, the Zhao family patriarch is celebrating his 75th birthday the day after tomorrow. Knowing that you were coming, he specially sent an invitation!"
My third aunt and eldest aunt stood up in surprise to take the invitation and read it. The more they read, the brighter their smiles became.
"Dad! The Zhao family! This is the Zhao family, one of the most prestigious and wealthy families in Hong Kong! They've invited you and the whole family to a banquet!"
The old man opened his eyes, his gaze filled with coldness.
"Okay, I understand. Cough cough..."
