Chapter 10 Old Master Bai's Birthday



"Dad, Mom, this is three million. It's Xia Muge's severance pay for you. Even if you don't work anymore, you can still live a good life."

The first thing Lin Xue did upon returning home was to deposit the three million and give it to her parents.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xue's mother beamed with joy: "You went to see Mu Ge again? Good, good, he's a good boy. Xue'er, you'd better hurry up and catch up with him."

Lin Xue's father didn't say anything, but he held the bank card tightly in his hand.

The girl didn't take these words to heart, and went upstairs saying, "I'm going to rest now."

She didn't tell her parents that this was the money she received for "selling herself."

Although it hasn't come to the final step, she has already sold her self-respect and soul.

According to her mother, she hopes that the person who trampled on her self-esteem will have more contact with her.

She's been unable to lift her head for a long time.

It shouldn't be like this.

Lin Xue held back her tears and returned to her room, momentarily lost in thought.

She and her parents were not from the capital; they came from outside the city through examinations.

Her father was addicted to gambling, and her mother went to great lengths to bring him here, avoiding contact with his old circle. Her mother was hardworking, and her father also came to his senses. The two slowly started earning money, saying they would support their children's education, marriage, and children in the future.

She also has a younger brother who is studying at a high school in her hometown.

I thought her life must be fulfilling, even if she didn't have much money.

But everything changed when Xia Muge delivered the first expensive gift to her home.

Her mother started to feel frustrated with her work and began buying whatever she wanted in her personal life.

My father also became extravagant, frequently dining out and treating others to meals.

All of this is because Xia Muge is there to protect us.

Looking at the expensive bags and clothes displayed in the room, she suddenly started crying and then laughed.

I should have figured this out a long time ago.

From the moment she received Xia Muge's first expensive gift, she had already sold herself out.

Xia Muge simply played with her and coaxed her for three years.

She's no different from those despised canaries.

Even so, Lin Xue still hated Xia Muge very much, hating him for appearing in her life.

She was tired of laughing, and tired of crying.

Just then, Ye Feng sent her a message.

"You said you were going to see Xia Muge last night, how did it go? Did he get taken advantage of?"

Lin Xue instinctively wanted to tell everyone about everything that happened last night.

But she still stopped herself from having such thoughts.

So what if these things happen?

Could Ye Feng really help her settle accounts and cause trouble for Xia Muge?

She thought for a moment and said, "It's still the same as before. I haven't been taken advantage of. He's still pursuing me."

Since Ye Feng and she sent this message, they naturally couldn't discern Lin Xue's insincerity from the words alone.

He sneered, "Oh, then I'll have to trouble Xue'er. Keep getting close to Xia Muge. I'm going to bankrupt the Xia family."

Lin Xue was momentarily lost in thought.

In the past, she would probably have acted coquettishly towards Ye Feng or asked for comfort.

Only listening to Ye Feng's sweet words can lift my spirits.

However, she no longer has that thought.

She realized she was being perfunctory during the brief conversation.

Perhaps I am running away from it.

Perhaps it's because they feel they are betraying someone.

In short, she didn't want to continue talking to Ye Feng.

Lin Xue said a few simple words, then lay down on the bed and went to sleep.

Xia Muge lived a simple and comfortable life thereafter.

In the morning, I flirt with my personal assistant in the office, take care of some personal matters, and incidentally handle some work-related tasks.

In the afternoons and evenings, Qin Shuhua would often arrive uninvited, bringing pastries or dishes that she had cooked herself, which were absolutely delicious.

The two would also hold hands, kiss, and discuss topics that adults can tacitly agree on.

Of course, we also talk about business and politics.

It can be said that Qin Shuhua is an excellent partner.

He didn't rush to find Lin Xue, who seemed to loathe him as well.

Xia Muge wasn't about to make a fool of himself, and he was confident that Lin Xue would come looking for him on her own.

Before we knew it, it was already Grandpa Bai's 80th birthday.

Bai Yu, also known as Bai Laoyezi, is a legendary figure.

He came to the capital alone, built a huge fortune, donated it all, obtained an official position, and rose rapidly through the ranks.

Even now, his story is still talked about with great interest. After his son was born, he resigned from his job and ventured into business, making the Bai family fortune even larger.

It truly was a case of spending a fortune only to have it return.

Unfortunately, Bai Yu has three sons and one daughter, none of whom are successful; they spend their days indulging in pleasure.

The vast family business was nominally handed over to Bai Yu's eldest son, but in reality, he still made the decisions.

By the third generation, they were even less promising.

Among them, the eldest grandson Bai Tang goes to the police station every few days, the second grandson Bai Shun lost several million yuan gambling, and the third granddaughter Bai Yu changes boyfriends as easily as changing clothes.

Bai Ling is Bai Yu's most beloved granddaughter, but she is also a hopeless romantic, though she hasn't shown it yet.

She is still quite generous and proper in her dealings with others; she is pampered but not spoiled.

But this alone is not enough to protect such a large family fortune.

Old Master Bai sighs every day.

The more lively the Bai family's 80th birthday celebration was, the more tormented he felt inside.
