The man walked slowly to the bedside, his gaze sweeping over Lisa's slender wrist.
On her fair wrist, there was a fresh knife wound, not very deep, but still bleeding.
Seeing the man staring at her with a cold expression, Lisa felt a little scared.
"Fifth brother, you don't need to worry about me. I am responsible for my own life and death. Even if I die, my grandfather will never make things difficult for you."
“Gu Gu won’t make things difficult for me, but if you die in China, I won’t be able to explain it to him. Lisa, if you really want to die, I will have someone knock you out immediately and send you back to Y country overnight. Once you’re at the Gu family’s house, whether you commit suicide by cutting your wrists, jumping off a building, or jumping into a lake, I will absolutely not stop you.”
A string of unpleasant words came from the man's mouth.
The girl, who had been pale from blood loss, was now trembling and biting her lip tightly.
"Fifth Brother, you were just saying that out of anger, weren't you? I believe you still have feelings for me, otherwise why would you agree to get engaged to me in the first place? Fifth Brother, I beg you, please look at me carefully, okay? What is it about me that makes me inferior to Bai Qianmo?"
The girl cried in despair, but the man's eyes remained calm and undisturbed.
There was not the slightest emotional fluctuation.
"In my heart, no one can compare to her."
Hatred gradually filled the girl's eyes.
"Why? Why her of all? I can lose to Aunt, but why do I have to lose to that bitch Bai Qianmo? Fifth Brother, wake up! Bai Qianmo has been with another man for a long time. In the year she's been in the capital, there's never a break in the gossip. And she's even living with Gu Jueye, who looks a lot like you. Why can't you see the true colors of such a filthy woman..."
"Smack!"
A crisp slap landed on Lisa's cheek.
"Young Miss..." Jill exclaimed in surprise.
Lisa's head was turned to the side after being hit, her messy brown hair obscuring her flushed cheeks.
She slowly turned her head, looking at the man in front of her in disbelief.
"You hit me?"
“I never hit women, but you insulted her, and I will not let it go easily. This slap is just a reminder to you. If I ever hear you say anything that insults her again, even your grandfather can't save you.”
Hearing these heartless words, Lisa felt as if her heart had been ripped open by countless knives.
"Fifth Brother, why are you so cruel to me? So many daughters of the Gu family have sacrificed themselves for this. My aunt died for you back then. You promised her you would take good care of me. Have you forgotten all that?"
The man's gaze deepened: "I did promise her I would take good care of you. If you need my help in the future, I will do my best to help you. But you must remember, even if your aunt is still alive, you cannot harm her in the slightest. Whoever dares to bully her, no matter who it is, I will not let them off easily."
Lisa was stunned; this was the first time she had ever heard him say how much he cared about Bai Qianmo.
She originally thought that Bai Qianmo only looked like her aunt, which was why her fifth brother treated her so specially.
After her aunt passed away, she often stared at photos of her aunt.
If her mother weren't a foreigner but a Chinese woman, would she look more like her aunt, and then her fifth brother would like her more?
It wasn't until her fifth brother brought Bai Qianmo back to the Gu family that she saw Bai Qianmo's face, which bore a striking resemblance to her aunt, and she immediately panicked.
Because she sensed that her enemy had appeared.
As it turned out, from the moment Bai Qianmo arrived at the Gu family, her fifth brother doted on her excessively. Even the usually stern fifth brother had a gentle smile in his eyes when he looked at Bai Qianmo.
At that time, she always thought that Bai Qianmo was just relying on her face. If she didn't look like her aunt, her fifth brother would never like her.
"Fifth Brother, have you forgotten my aunt? You're so nice to Bai Qianmo because she looks like my aunt, right? Fifth Brother, wake up! She's not my aunt. Don't be fooled by her face."
The man offered no explanation for Lisa's misunderstanding.
At that moment, Fang Shu knocked on the door.
"Master, Miss Bai has returned to the Bai family."
Upon hearing that Bai Qianmo had left the research institute, Fifth Master did not look at Lisa again and turned to walk towards the door.
"Fifth brother..." Lisa pleaded.
The man wouldn't even spare her a glance.
Fang Shu glanced at Lisa, who was pale and weak inside the room.
"How should we handle Miss Lisa's situation?"
"Send a few people to keep an eye on her. If she does something so extreme again, knock her unconscious and send her back to Y country by special plane."
The man's cold and indifferent explanation.
"Yes!" Fang Shu nodded in agreement.
Although Miss Lisa was not likable, she was devoted to her master, yet she could not earn his pity in return. Thinking about it, she was a pitiful woman.
Bai family
Bai Luoyu had already called his family while he was on the way.
Upon learning that Qianmo had been brought back, Grandpa Bai was overjoyed and beamed with excitement.
After about a half-hour drive, Old Bai made three phone calls to urge him on, and finally decided to go to the alley entrance himself to wait, leaning on his cane.
Han Songyan and Bai Kangyan, a married couple, were naturally equally excited.
So the whole family simply stood at the entrance of the alley.
When Bai Luoyu drove to the alley entrance, he was truly stunned by the line of relatives looking in his direction.
"Look at this scene, anyone who doesn't know better would think that the Bai family has some distinguished guests."
Bai Yitang curled his lips: "It must be that the old man couldn't wait and ran out to wait for his own granddaughter. My parents, second uncle and second aunt, as the younger generation, of course can't wait at home."
