Bai Tingting turned around shakily, and her pupils dilated in shock when she saw the person behind her.
"Uncle, Uncle." Her voice trembled, her fear clearly visible.
The person in front of me is my uncle!
Because she had played a mentally ill character, she accidentally saw him, which left her with severe psychological trauma.
Little Yuzu tilted her head in confusion: This person seems to be very afraid of Master Ba.
Bai Ningyi scoffed and approached Bai Tingting step by step, his tone icy: "I'm not your uncle. You're just distant relatives from who-knows-where. Don't try to pull any strings with me."
Because the Bai family had no girls, the old man showed a little more favoritism towards this girl from a concubine's side.
He casually gave away a house and didn't do anything else.
Unexpectedly, the other party took advantage of this and went further up the ranks, even wanting to work for the Bai Group.
Although he had no intention of taking over the Bai Group and handed it over to his nephew Bai Li, it did not mean that he had no say in the matter.
He still owns 18% of the Bai Group's shares, making him the second-largest shareholder. The dividends alone are enough for him to live comfortably every year.
He was also one of the people Bai Tingting's family wanted to curry favor with.
"Uncle... Uncle."
Bai Tingting was extremely embarrassed, especially after losing face in front of a country bumpkin like Xiaoyouzi. She couldn't bear to look at herself anymore.
Bai Ningyi snorted coldly: "Say it again, don't call me that."
I don't want to say it a third time.
After saying that, Bai Ningyi ignored Bai Tingting's ugly expression and walked straight past her to squat down in front of Xiaoyouzi. He stretched out his slender fingers and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Xiaoyouzi's eyes.
Squeezing the teardrop in her hand, Bai Ningyi said softly, "You really cried."
The little pomelo, with its head down, dared not look up.
"hehe."
Bai Ningyi's light laughter came from above: "Why are you burying your head so low? Do you think I'm going to eat you?"
"Master Ba".
Little Yuzu whispered something, then lowered her head even further.
She's such a good girl, readily admitting her mistakes!
"What are you afraid of? Weren't you crying quite a bit just now?" Bai Ningyi smiled and lifted Xiaoyouzi's head, wiping away the tears on her face.
Xiaoyouzi smiled awkwardly: "I, I just got emotional all of a sudden."
She received special training in the skill of crying instantly while filming abroad, so she put it to use.
"Is that so?" Bai Ningyi's smile gradually faded, his eyes began to redden, and his expression became somewhat terrifying.
Long, slender, cool fingers gently caressed the almost invisible scar on Xiaoyouzi's face, whispering, "Xiaoyouzi, no one can make you cry. I'll tear them all to shreds and piece them together into toys for you, okay?"
His tone was still very gentle, but the coldness was undeniable.
Bai Tingting, who was standing behind, trembled all over and swallowed nervously.
These are lines from a drama my uncle was filming!
He was wearing gold-rimmed glasses at the time, and while laughing and saying this, he dismembered people and then pieced them back together to form a completely new monster.
That's...that's terrifying.
Bai Tingting was so frightened that she dared not move.
She glanced at Bai Ningyi's expression.
Dark, ferocious, and bloodthirsty.
With just one glance, Bai Tingting was so frightened that she almost fainted.
Little Yuzu quickly reached out her warm little hand and squeezed Bai Ningyi's fingers, revealing a sweet smile: "But I'm fine, Master. Look, I'm perfectly alright, don't be angry."
“She bullied you, you cried, I saw it.” Bai Ningyi’s tone became very strange, and his expression was sinister.
Xiao Youzi glanced at Bai Tingting.
The once arrogant and domineering girl now didn't dare to utter a sound, and didn't even dare to leave, afraid of attracting Bai Ningyi's attention.
"I'm fine."
Xiao Youzi walked over, hugged Bai Ningyi, and glanced at Bai Tingting.
Perhaps it was because Xiaoyouzi's gaze was too intense, but Bai Tingting actually understood something.
She glanced at Xiaoyouzi in a panic, then ran away as fast as she could.
“She…” Bai Ningyi frowned when he heard the voice and was about to turn around when Xiaoyouzi nuzzled his neck.
"Master, no one is bullying me, it's just minor squabbles."
At least Bai Tingting didn't say anything too malicious, nor did she actually push or hit her.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have stopped Bai Ningyi.
The main concern is that someone with ulterior motives might take a picture of him, which would then expose the secret of his master's long-standing retirement.
This is not a good thing for the master.
"Are you alright?" Bai Ningyi asked.
Little Yuzu immediately replied, "It's okay."
"Is it true that no one bullies you?"
Bai Ningyi's scarlet eyes were fixed on Xiaoyouzi without her noticing.
OMG, Master's illness has flared up again.
Two small hands covered Bai Ningyi's eyes, and Xiaoyouzi whispered to comfort him, "No one bullied me, you didn't see anything."
"Little Pomelo".
Bai Ningyi called out, and Xiao Youzi, too lazy to waste any more words, immediately began reciting the "Heart-Cleansing Mantra."
She leaned on Bai Ningyi's shoulder, chanting the incantation slowly and rhythmically.
It's so good that even an average person could fall asleep listening to it.
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Ningyi removed Xiaoyouzi's hand: "I'm fine now, Xiaoyouzi."
"You're not asleep?"
When I recite those incantations, my family members fall asleep.
It's just that Master Ba's constitution is so special for some reason that he doesn't have a hypnotic effect.
"I'm glad you're alright."
Xiao Youzi let go of Bai Ningyi's hand and helped him stand up.
Fortunately, this place was booked out, so there weren't many people coming and going.
Otherwise, many people would have noticed the former Best Actor going crazy on the spot.
After a pause, Bai Ningyi asked, "Where are your brothers? Why are you the only one here?"
If it weren't for Xiaoyouzi's irresponsible brothers abandoning her, how could Xiaoyouzi have been bullied!
"They've gone to move the gifts."
After all, it was a grand banquet, and the guests brought their own gifts, unlike in ancient times when servants would carry them to the door to greet guests.
Bai Ningyi picked up Xiaoyouzi and said, "Okay, I'll take you inside."
Bai Ningyi, holding a small pomelo, received everyone's attention as soon as she entered the banquet hall.
All the guests were shocked, especially the Bai family members who had never seen Xiaoyouzi before.
Holy crap! Bai Ningyi has an illegitimate daughter...?
