next day
Early in the morning, Bai Qianmo and Gu Jueye went out together.
The two of them went to the Bai family's old house together.
As soon as I entered, I saw Sister Zhao and Sister Zhang cleaning together.
"Aunt Zhang, you've been discharged from the hospital?" Bai Qianmo smiled faintly when she saw Aunt Zhang.
"Yes, Miss Qianmo, this is a report from yesterday. Last time, thanks to you for getting me to the hospital in time, otherwise I might have lost my life." Aunt Zhang smiled at Bai Qianmo.
"Don't say that. You were injured that day because of the Bai family."
"It's all to be expected. Fortunately, Young Master Yitang is alright. By the way, have those bad guys been found yet?"
Bai Qianmo nodded: "The police have found the person."
"That's good, that's good! Miss Qianmo, why is Bai Xinrou still living here? She was with those people when they kidnapped Young Master Yitang."
As soon as Aunt Zhang finished speaking, the sound of high heels rang out.
As the sound grew closer, a figure slowly walked in from outside the door.
Bai Qianmo turned around and saw that the person who came was Bai Xinrou.
Aunt Zhang frowned, looking wary.
This girl is really clinging to the Bai family and won't leave.
Bai Xinrou was dressed in a sophisticated style today, wearing a white long dress and a light yellow coat, giving her a completely refreshed look.
Compared to her simple attire when she first arrived in the capital, Bai Xinrou now seemed to have truly become a wealthy heiress of the capital.
"Bai Qianmo, you came here so early in the morning. I wonder if you're really worried about Grandpa Bai, or if you're eyeing his fortune?" Upon seeing Bai Qianmo, Bai Xinrou immediately launched into a sarcastic remark.
Gu Jueye turned to look at Bai Xinrou, giving her a cold glance.
Bai Xinrou was visibly taken aback when she saw Gu Jueye.
The thought that such an outstanding man was dating Bai Qianmo made her feel a pang of sadness.
"Mr. Gu, you've come too."
Gu Jueye ignored Bai Xinrou and coldly looked away.
"Miss Qianmo, Lord, please go to the living room first. I'll go inform Madam." Aunt Zhang put down the broom and turned to walk towards the backyard.
Aunt Zhao then walked over to Bai Qianmo's side: "Miss Qianmo, it's cold outside, please take the Duke inside."
Even Sister-in-law Zhao could see Bai Xinrou's covetous gaze fixed on Gu Jueye, so Bai Qianmo naturally understood as well.
She curled her lips into a slight sneer: "Where's Grandpa?"
"Master..." Zhao Sao was about to speak.
Bai Xinrou said, "I went for a walk with Grandpa Bai early this morning and just got back. Unlike you, my dear granddaughter, you're such a busy person, I don't see you for days."
Seeing that Bai Lai was not behind Bai Xinrou, a fierce glint flashed in Bai Qianmo's eyes.
Where is my grandfather?
Bai Xinrou glanced back and said, "Huh? That was just following behind me."
When Bai Xinrou saw that Grandpa Bai wasn't with her, she was really startled.
Bai Qianmo glared at her coldly: "Bai Xinrou, if you lose my grandfather, I will make you pay with your life."
"I...I didn't mean to. He was just following me, and then he suddenly disappeared."
Gu Jueye said to Bai Qianmo, "Let's go out and look for someone first."
Bai Qianmo stopped wasting words with Bai Xinrou and rushed out the door, with Gu Jueye following closely behind.
Bai Xinrou was so frightened that her face turned pale.
If something really happens to the old man, not only will Bai Qianmo and the Bai family not let her off easily, but even Mr. Feng will probably not let her off lightly.
Oh no!
How did this old man lose it?
Bai Qianmo ran out of the alley and searched along the riverbank and near the park where Grandpa Bai often took walks.
She was very worried about her grandfather's condition. He was not in a good mental state and might have forgotten the way around their home.
"Qianmo, don't worry, Grandpa Bai should be nearby. I've had Gu Jin and the others search the area."
Bai Qianmo looked around: "I haven't seen anyone in the places Grandpa usually goes. Where could he have gone?"
Just as they were anxiously searching, Xu Hualan called.
Bai Qianmo guessed that there might be news about her grandfather, and immediately pressed the answer button.
"Hey, Auntie!"
"Qianmo, you and Aye come back. The old man walked back by himself."
Upon hearing that her grandfather had returned home, Bai Qianmo closed her eyes slightly and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Okay, I'll go back right away."
After hanging up the phone, Bai Qianmo said to Gu Jueye, "Grandpa has already gone home. Bai Xinrou is a ticking time bomb if she stays here. It seems we need to get rid of this obstacle as soon as possible."
What are you planning to do?
"Find what that person is looking for as soon as possible. Only then will I have the leverage to negotiate with him."
Bai Xinrou was no longer of any use.
Gu Jueye pondered for a moment: "Grandpa Bai has lived in the old house for decades, so he should know the contents of the house like the back of his hand. If he doesn't know the whereabouts of that jade pendant, then no one else could possibly know. Qianmo, is it possible that Grandpa Bai is deliberately hiding it?"
“Grandpa is currently under the influence of the sleep-inducing Gu, and his consciousness has been controlled by the Gu worms. Logically speaking, if he really knew this, he wouldn’t lie to Bai Xinrou.”
"Find an opportunity to get Bai Xinrou out of the way today. You can ask Grandpa Bai privately and see his reaction."
Bai Qianmo looked at Gu Jueye: "I understand what you mean."

Bai Family Living Room
Bai Qianmo and Gu Jueye walked over together, and they could hear Bai Yitang's angry voice from afar.
"Bai Xinrou, I'm warning you, starting today, you are not allowed to take my grandfather out for a stroll. If he gets lost again, I'll make sure you lose your life."
"Bai Yitang, have you said enough? I didn't mean it that way. It was Grandpa Bai who didn't keep up with me. How was I supposed to know he would run off to watch those old men play chess?"
Xu Hualan sneered: "You've been in the Bai family for a while now, and you don't even know my father likes to play chess? It seems you won't need to worry about the old man's daily life from now on."
Seeing that the Bai family was attacking her daughter, Zhang Cuiyan could no longer sit still.
"Grandpa is a grown man, not stupid or dull. Why should we blame it all on Xinrou for him getting lost? Why don't you children take him for walks every day? Humph! It's easy for you to talk when you're not in his shoes. Besides, we're not related to the Bai family by blood, so we have no obligation to take care of Grandpa, do we?"
