"I'm going to say something, and you might not like it, but even though Bai Qianmo is wearing this incredibly expensive watch, it doesn't necessarily mean she bought it herself. Maybe it was a gift from someone else. Isn't it said that the owner of this watch is someone of high status? Perhaps that person was pursuing Bai Qianmo and gave her the watch, just because she has a pretty face."
Bai Yitang chuckled lightly, casually draped one leg over the sofa armrest, and nestled against the sofa cushions, exuding a nonchalant and carefree air.
"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting?" Bai Kangcheng glared at Bai Yitang, feigning anger.
Bai Yitang curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
“When Bai Qianmo is around, I’m practically invisible in this house. You all only have eyes for her. So I’m just a freebie that came with a phone plan? I’m just expressing some personal thoughts now, what’s the big deal?”
Old Bai's lips twitched a few times, his face expressionless. Suddenly, he pointed at Bai Yitang and asked Bai Kangcheng, "Who is he?"
Bai Kangcheng blinked, glanced at Bai Yitang, and then looked at Old Bai.
He took a deep breath: "I...don't know him!"
puff……
Bai Yitang felt a jet of blood spurt from his chest.
"Grandpa, Dad, that's enough, isn't that childish?"
Old Bai shook his head and frowned: "Who is this brat? How did he suddenly show up at our house? Get him out of here right now."
Bai Kangcheng chimed in, "Didn't you hear what my old man said? Get out of here right now."
"No way, your acting is so bad! We were just chatting a moment ago, and you're already turning your backs on us?" Bai Yitang was completely dumbfounded.
What the hell? All I did was say a few bad things about Bai Qianmo, and they're kicking me out?
After returning to China, Bai Yitang gradually felt that his status in the Bai family was a bit low, but he didn't expect it to be this low.
Old Bai asked Bai Kangcheng beside him, "Do you know him?"
Bai Kangcheng remained steadfast in his stance and immediately shook his head: "I don't know him."
Old Bai said, "I don't know them either. From now on, don't let these random people into the house."
"You're right, I'll keep the door closed more often from now on."
Bai Yitang stood up in astonishment: "You're serious? Fine, you're the ones kicking me out, so don't regret it. Nobody stop me, don't stop me!"
Bai Yitang left those words behind, and Bai Lao and Bai Kangcheng stood there watching him without saying a word.
Bai Yitang took two steps, and seeing that no one intended to stop him, he turned back fiercely: "I'm serious. Once I leave this house, I won't come back easily. You won't be able to bring me back even if you carry me in a sedan chair!"
Old Bai waved his hand: "Stop talking nonsense, let's go!"
Bai Yitang felt as if he had been slapped hard twice across the face.
Why is this world so cruel to him?
He wanted to leave too, but the school didn't arrange for him to live on campus, and his allowance wasn't enough to rent a place in Beijing. Where could he go?
But now he was in a difficult situation, and for the sake of his pride, he had to persevere to the end.
When Bai Yitang saw Xu Hualan walking towards him, his eyes lit up.
"Fine, this is what you want me to do. After I leave, we'll forget each other and go our separate ways. Nobody stop me, please don't stop me. I won't stay. I, Bai Yitang, mean what I say!"
Xu Hualan walked into the room and gave Bai Yitang a strange look.
He then turned to look at Elder Bai and Bai Kangcheng: "This is..."
Old Bai asked Xu Hualan, "Do you know this kid?"
Xu Hualan glanced at Bai Kangcheng again, and Bai Kangcheng winked at her.
Xu Hualan coughed lightly and, under Bai Yitang's hopeful gaze, said softly, "You look familiar. But I can't remember where I've seen you before!"
Bai Yitang: "..."
I feel like the whole world has abandoned me, and I've lost all love.
"Hmph, fine, I'm leaving!" Bai Yitang picked up his schoolbag and skateboard, slung them over his shoulder, and stormed out.
There was a two-second silence in the room.
Xu Hualan asked, "Dad, did this kid make you angry again?"
Old Bai chuckled twice: "He's so silly, how could he possibly anger me? I just wanted to temper his temper. He's clearly worried about his sister, but he's putting on a brave face on the surface."
Bai Kangcheng was a little worried: "Is this kid really going to run away and not come back?"
Xu Hualan smiled and said, "Don't worry, this kid is forgetful and gets over his anger quickly. It's Saturday today, he'll only go to his friend's house for half a day at most, and he'll come back obediently when it gets dark and he has nowhere to go."

Old Wang called Bai Qianmo and Gu Jueye to his study.
After sitting down, Old Wang glanced at Gu Jueye indifferently and said, "Sit down."
Gu Jueye took Bai Qianmo's hand and sat down opposite Old Wang.
"I just heard that a fool tried to steal your chicken, causing your carefully raised fighting rooster to die tragically after two years. I have already contacted a club that specializes in breeding fighting roosters, and they will select thirty of the best breeds and send them to you as soon as possible."
After Gu Jueye finished speaking, Old Wang's expression softened a bit.
“You’re better at dealing with people than your grandfather. I even suspect that your family’s idiots were deliberately let in by your grandfather.”
Gu Jueye replied politely, "Although my grandfather has a stubborn temper and had a falling out with you when he was young, he is straightforward and a man of his word. He will tell you openly what he has done, for fear that you will not know that he did it."
After careful consideration, Old Wang realized that Gu Jueye was absolutely right.
