Bai Xinrou felt indignant. What right did that brat Bai Qianmo have to stay in such a nice room, while she had to stay in a dilapidated little hotel?
There wasn't even a bathroom in the room; everyone shared a single unisex bathroom.
The people staying at that small hotel were mostly elderly men who worked nearby.
When she went to take a shower or use the toilet, those old men stared at her lecherously, like hungry wolves eyeing their prey.
Thinking about the past few days, Bai Xinrou felt a deep sense of resentment.
She took her phone out of her bag, got up, and walked towards the bathroom.
The spacious and bright bathroom, measuring a full ten square meters, features a bathtub, shower, and washbasin, all exuding a high-end feel.
This is the life of the rich!
A glint flashed in Bai Xinrou's eyes as she took out her phone and made a call.
"Everything has been done as you instructed. What's the next step?"
A deep, dark voice came from the other end.
"As long as you behave, I will give you everything you want!"
In the study, the family of four discussed the matter.
Xu Hualan called Bai Qianmo to inform her.
Upon receiving the news, Bai Qianmo was slightly surprised.
Why does this scene seem somewhat similar to the one where Han Songyan was kidnapped?
They were all a group of men in black, and they all used the same excuse of "calling the police to collect the body".
Compared to Han Songyan's value, she couldn't see any useful value in Zhang Cuiyan.
unless……
As if thinking of something, a cold light flashed in Bai Qianmo's eyes.
It seems the other party came specifically for him.
Where is Bai Xinrou?
“Her mother was arrested, and she is now afraid to go back to her own residence. I had no choice but to arrange for her to stay in the guest room.”
Bai Qianmo thought for a moment and said to Xu Hualan, "Aunt, then I'll trouble you to keep a close eye on her. I'll rush back to deal with this matter first thing tomorrow morning."
Hang up the phone
Bai Qianmo fiddled with her phone, seemingly lost in thought.
In reality, the brain is working at a rapid pace at this moment.
night
Bai Xinrou slept in her room all day and only woke up when she heard a knock on the door.
She walked to the door and opened it, and Aunt Zhang looked at her with a cold face.
"We've finished eating."
After saying that, Aunt Zhang turned and left.
Bai Xinrou sneered, thinking that Aunt Zhang was looking down on people.
He secretly vowed to himself that he must make a name for himself in the capital.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, the Bai family was already dining at the table.
Bai Xinrou walked over, and the family members all looked indifferent.
As the head of the family, only Elder Bai could speak at this point.
"Sit down and eat."
Bai Xinrou behaved very well, walked to an empty seat, sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and began to eat.
"We've already told Qianmo about your mother. She'll be back first thing tomorrow morning. Do you remember the facial features of the people who took your mother away?"
Bai Xinrou recalled carefully for a while: "One of the men had a deep scar on his face."
"Is there anything else?"
Bai Xinrou bit her lip and gently shook her head: "I was too nervous at the time and didn't dare to look at them carefully."
Xu Hualan stared at Bai Xinrou in thought for a while, then turned to Zhang Sao in the kitchen and gave her instructions.
"Aunt Zhang, are the steamed crabs ready?"
"Alright, madam!" Aunt Zhang replied, coming out of the kitchen.
She was holding a white porcelain tray with several large, bright red crabs on it, steaming hot.
A strong smell of seafood wafted from afar.
Bai Xinrou stared intently at the crab, and then, to her own dismay, let out two soft gurgling sounds.
She grew up in a very poor family and had only ever seen crabs on television.
In reality, I've never even seen it, let alone eaten it.
"Eat!" Xu Hualan said.
Bai Xinrou couldn't wait to pick up a large crab and put it on her plate.
Watching her eat with gusto, Xu Hualan frowned slightly but didn't say a word.
After dinner
Bai Xinrou, on the other hand, insisted on going to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Aunt Zhang didn't want to be with her, so she went to do other things.
When Bai Xinrou came out of the study, she was carrying a tray with a pot of tea on it.
"Grandpa Bai, thank you for taking me in. Otherwise, I would have been homeless with no money."
"Don't worry about it, we're only doing this for Qianmo's sake."
Bai Xinrou smiled awkwardly, her face still bearing a gentle smile.
"No matter why you took me in, I feel incredibly grateful. Oh, by the way, this is a pot of tea I just brewed for you. Please pour me a cup and have a taste."
Old Bai's eyes were fixed on the television, and his overall attitude remained quite indifferent.
"Just leave it there."
Although Bai Xinrou nodded obediently, she still poured a cup of tea for Old Master Bai.
10 p.m.
Old Bai nestled on the sofa and began to doze off, looking utterly exhausted.
"Dad, are you sleepy?"
Old Bai said, "I am a little sleepy."
Bai Kangcheng immediately stood up: "Let me take you back to your room to rest."
With Bai Kangyan's help, Old Master Bai returned to his bedroom.
Bai Xinrou sat alone in the living room, a sinister, triumphant smile on her face.
