Bai Yitang pulled Bai Qianmo's luggage and followed her out of the room.
Bai Xinrou and Zhang Cuiyan are walking this way.
Seeing the suitcase Bai Yitang was carrying, Bai Xinrou revealed a triumphant air.
"Are you leaving? Did you not make a mess of the room?"
"Why don't you go in and take a look?" Bai Qianmo asked back.
Zhang Cuiyan sneered, walked straight past Bai Qianmo and Bai Yitang, and glanced at the room from the doorway.
"Xinrou, I think the furniture and decor in this room are too gloomy, all black, white, and gray. What kind of aesthetic is that? Don't you like pink? I'll have Aunt Zhao find two designers to come over later and give you a fresh and beautiful new look."
"What a country bumpkin," Bai Yitang muttered under his breath.
Zhang Cuiyan heard this and, like a hen that had been poked in the butt, raised her neck, flapped her arms, and charged towards Bai Yitang.
"Who are you calling a country bumpkin? Heh, if I'm a country bumpkin, then what about the kid I raised? The person next to you is someone I raised from scratch."
This was the first time Bai Yitang had ever encountered a shrew like Zhang Cuiyan in his life. He was so angry that his cheeks turned red, but he didn't want to lower himself to the level of a shrew.
Bai Qianmo's cold gaze shot towards Zhang Cuiyan: "Is it something to be proud of to be raised by you? If I had a choice, I would probably prefer to be a beggar rather than have you in my life."
Zhang Cuiyan was stunned by Bai Qianmo's cold gaze, and the usually sharp-tongued Zhang Cuiyan fell silent for a moment.
Bai Qianmo sneered, "I've given you the room, but you'd better remember this is the Bai family home, and you're just guests. I'm only giving up my room to appease Grandpa temporarily. Don't think you can stay here forever. If I come back next time and see any changes in this room, you know my personality very well, so don't cross me."
After saying this, Bai Qianmo glanced at Bai Xinrou with a mocking smile and left.
Bai Yitang snorted disdainfully and chased after Bai Qianmo with his suitcase.
At this moment, only Zhang Cuiyan and her daughter Bai Xinrou remained in the courtyard.
Back to the room
Zhang Cuiyan became increasingly indignant as she thought about it.
"This brat has really grown up. She used to be begging for a living at my feet, but now that she's turned into a phoenix, her temper has gone up a lot too."
Bai Xinrou irritably threw her purse on the bed and plopped down.
Looking around the luxuriously decorated room, Bai Xinrou gradually calmed down her anger.
"Bai Qianmo, so what if you're arrogant? Didn't I still kick you out?"
Zhang Cuiyan had a knot in her heart, and she sat down next to Bai Xinrou.
“Xinrou, since Old Bai listens to you so much, why don’t you ask him how much property he has? Someone of his status should have real estate, stocks and the like in addition to cash, right? You should try to get more benefits out of him.”
"Mom, even if that old man listens to me, the rest of the Bai family are all eyeing us covetously. If we start thinking about the old man's property right after we move in, the Bai family will definitely not let us off easily."
Zhang Cuiyan looked worried: "If we can't get Old Master Bai's property, what's the use of us living in this big house? That brat was right just now. This is the Bai family home after all. We are just guests. My dear daughter, you have to understand that only when you have everything in your own hands will you have confidence."
Bai Xinrou was silent for a while: "Don't worry, now that I've come this far, I will definitely not let myself leave empty-handed."
On the bus
Bai Qianmo stared at the mother and daughter in the video, a hint of contempt flashing in her cold eyes.
"Shameless!"
Bai Yitang's face was full of mockery.
"This mother and daughter are actually eyeing the Bai family's property. I really want to cut open their chests and see if their hearts are black."
Bai Qianmo remained silent, her gaze fixed on the video.
Bai Xinrou was somewhat uneasy. She chatted with Zhang Cuiyan for a few perfunctory words before urging her to go to the next room.
After closing the door
Bai Xinrou opened her backpack, took out her phone, and went straight to the bathroom.
"This woman is acting suspiciously. Who is she going to call?" Bai Yitang also noticed Bai Xinrou's situation.
Bai Qianmo switched the scene to the bathroom.
Bai Xinrou made a phone call, and the other party answered quickly.
"Hey, I've already kicked Bai Qianmo out of the Bai family, what's next?"
After hearing what was said on the other end of the phone, Bai Xinrou frowned deeply.
"How am I supposed to find what you're talking about? Old Master Bai's study? Even if Old Master Bai allows me to go in, the rest of the Bai family are keeping a close eye on me."
"Okay, I'll give it a try. Don't forget your promise after you've done it."
After hanging up the phone, Bai Xinrou washed her hands and admired herself in the mirror, seemingly quite satisfied with her appearance.
"Bai Qianmo, you probably never dreamed that one day I would be living in your room, right? Hehe, not only will I live in your room, I will take everything from you."
This way
Bai Yitang looked amazed.
"No wonder they're Bai Xiruo's older sister. They really do have something in common; they both like to steal your things. You must have owed these two sisters something in your past life."
Bai Qianmo leaned back in her chair, ignoring Bai Yitang's teasing.
His mind was replaying Bai Xinrou's phone call word for word.
She said she was looking for something, which suggests that the item is very likely in the Bai family's possession.
The other party told her to look in her grandfather's study, which was full of antiques, so the other party was probably looking for an antique.
"Bai Yitang, do me a favor!"
"you say!"
Bai Qianmo looked at Bai Yitang and expressed her thoughts.
Bai Yitang stared at her silently for a while.
"This one is a bit difficult, but I'll try my best to finish it."
Bai Qianmo raised an eyebrow: "Difficult?"
Bai Yitang chuckled twice: "It's nothing."
After the two of them discussed it, Bai Qianmo left the Bai family's old house by car.
Bai Yitang returned to the Bai family home. He didn't go to his own courtyard but went directly to Old Master Bai's room.
When Bai Lao saw him enter, his face was full of indifference.
What are you doing here?
When Bai Yitang realized that the old man was acting this way because he was poisoned by a Gu, he was no longer easily provoked.
"Grandpa, I'd like to find a book about chemistry in your study."
"Do I have such a book in my study?" Old Bai asked in return.
"Yes, you introduced it to me back then, I remember it very clearly."
Old Bai took a sip of tea and thought carefully for a while, but still couldn't recall such a book.
"Then go and look for it, but don't touch anything else inside."
"Don't worry, I'll just look for that book in the bookshelf, and I'll leave once I find it." Bai Yitang was secretly delighted.
