Bai's father moved with incredible speed, leaving Bai Qingze with no way to avoid him.
Xiao Yuan silently blocked the door, making it impossible for Bai Qingze to escape.
After a severe beating, Bai Qingze finally couldn't take it anymore and began to beg for mercy.
Mr. Bai was also exhausted. He sat down in a chair, and his assistant hurriedly handed him water.
Only then did Xiao Yuan step forward and speak:
"Uncle, please calm down. Qingze didn't mean it. After all, Qingzhi is so well-behaved, how could he possibly lay a hand on her?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Mr. Bai, who had just calmed down, stood up again.
"Dad... Dad, what are you doing? I'm your own son!" Bai Qingze shouted in a trembling voice as his father tightened his grip on the belt once more.
“Qingze, although Qingzhi is not his biological daughter, she is even closer to Father Bai than a biological child,” Xiao Yuan said casually from the side.
Bai Qingze paused, then immediately glared angrily at Xiao Yuan.
That old man definitely did it on purpose!
Sure enough, Bai's father's eyes widened, and he was completely out of breath.
"You bastard, you've really gone too far! How dare you talk about whether we're related or not? I'll beat you to death today!"
After shouting, he began a new round of "Seven Wolves of Fatherly Love".
Just when Bai Qingze thought he was about to be beaten to death, his savior arrived.
Bai Qingzhi opened the door several times before it finally opened. She had just gone downstairs to buy some things and then went to the studio to play around with Qiao Shanshan for a while, which is why she came back late.
There was a chaotic scene inside, and Bai Qingzhi asked curiously what had happened.
Mr. Bai's expression immediately changed, and he looked at Bai Qingzhi with a loving smile as he replied:
“Your second brother wanted to discuss with Dad the various ways to use a belt. Dad thought he was wrong and taught him a lesson.”
Bai Qingze grimaced and sat in the seat furthest from his father, rolling his eyes as he listened to his father's words.
Xiao Yuan sat beside him, watching Bai Qingzhi chat with her father.
"Did you do this on purpose? To get back at me for pinching Qingzhi just now?" Bai Qingze asked in a low voice.
“That’s right. Believe me, if I say a few more words, your uncle will beat you up again,” Xiao Yuan replied without changing his expression.
Xiao Yuan's eyes never left Bai Qingzhi, and there was even a slight smile on his lips.
"You..." Bai Qingze gritted his teeth and spoke hatefully, but when he moved, he pulled at the belt marks on his body and gasped in pain.
"If you dare lay a hand on Zhizhi again, you won't be the Seven Wolves of Fatherly Love." Xiao Yuan's tone was blatantly threatening.
Bai Qingze still wanted to find a way to retaliate, but Xiao Yuan's next words completely silenced him.
“Ou Yiyi is now in my hands, and I can decide what role to assign her.”
After saying that, she gave Bai Qingze a chilling look.
"Hehe, brother-in-law, what are you saying! Qingzhi is my own sister, I love her so much, how could I possibly lay a hand on her again? This time it was just a moment of impulse, but my dad did the right thing!" Bai Qingze said with a fake smile on his face.
Xiao Yuan looked into his eyes, then smiled and asked in return:
"Are you being sincere?"
"Sincerely, a thousand times sincere!" Bai Qingze gritted his teeth and answered fiercely.
Xiao Yuan was satisfied. He glanced at Bai Qingzhi and then turned his gaze back to her.
“Ou Yiyi is currently in talks for a couples variety show. I heard that there’s a young man on the show who is her college classmate, and he’s had a crush on her since they were in school. There are rumors that he might even pursue her.”
Bai Qingze's expression immediately tensed up. He wanted to ask what had happened, but he managed to hold back.
Xiao Yuan curled his lip in disdain at the other party's stubbornness. "Keep pretending. In the end, you'll all end up like Xiao Yangjing, crying incoherently."
Bai's father briefly inquired about what Xiao Yuan had said on the phone, then waved his hand and stopped listening after a short while.
He's about to retire now, so he can hand over all the messy things at these companies to his eldest son.
Bai Qingzhi obediently saw her father downstairs, and before she could return upstairs, she received a call from her older brother.
"Qingze attacked you?" Bai Qinghuai's tone was unreadable.
"No, my second brother was just joking with me," Bai Qingzhi hurriedly defended Bai Qingze.
Bai Qinghuai, who was opposite her, seemed to be writing something. Hearing her words, he did not refute them, but only asked if she was alright.
The brother and sister chatted for a while, and Bai Qingzhi hung up the phone because she was afraid of disturbing her older brother's business. She happened to run into Ou Yiyi on her way upstairs.
“Qingzhi…” Upon seeing Bai Qingzhi, Ou Yiyi frowned and spoke.
Her expression showed her grievance.
Bai Qingzhi asked curiously what was wrong.
Ou Yiyi seemed to hesitate for a moment, glancing around to make sure no one was watching before sneakily pulling her hand and leading her to a corner.
Seeing her mysterious demeanor, Bai Qingzhi became even more curious.
Under Bai Qingzhi's persistent questioning, Ou Yiyi finally spoke:
"Do you know Han Yuan?" Ou Yiyi's big eyes sparkled with a questioning light.
Bai Qingzhi tilted her head, several men's faces flashing through her mind, but unfortunately she couldn't decide on one.
In the end, Bai Qingzhi still couldn't figure out who Han Yuan was, and could only ask out of curiosity:
Which one is it?
Ou Yiyi frowned, thinking that Qingzhi must not read entertainment news, otherwise how could she not recognize Han Yuan, who was currently very popular?
"That's him! The male lead who starred in a love story with the popular young actress Cheng Cheng!" Ou Yiyi explained, stamping her foot.
At this point, Bai Qingzhi finally remembered, her eyes widened, her mouth slightly open, and she let out a long "Oh."
She remembered him: a tall, thin boy with delicate features and a very well-behaved appearance.
It does give people a natural sense of goodwill.
“He’s my classmate,” Ou Yiyi said, her voice even softer.
"What's wrong with my classmate?" Bai Qingzhi's eyes were filled with even more confusion.
A look of embarrassment flashed across Ou Yiyi's face, and then she answered somewhat awkwardly:
"He's been pursuing me lately."
Bai Qingzhi suddenly remembered what Xiao Yuan had just mentioned.
So that young heartthrob was the person Xiao Yuan was talking about!
"Were you two together before?" Bai Qingzhi pointed with her two index fingers, her eyes gleaming with gossipy madness.
Ou Yiyi's shyness vanished instantly, and she tapped Bai Qingzhi's head.
However, she still told them their story.
It turns out that the two were high school classmates, and Han Yuan had confessed his feelings to her during their adolescence.
At that time, Ou Yiyi was also experiencing her first crush, and Han Yuan was one of the top students and male gods in the class, so how could she not be moved?
But she still didn't agree, and they lost contact after graduating from high school.
However, Ou Yiyi still managed to find out about him indirectly and learned that he had been admitted to the Film Academy.
When Ou Yi saw Han Yuan debut on TV, she felt her heart race.
And half of the reason she also wanted to enter the entertainment industry to act was because of him.
She never expected that the opportunity would be so coincidental. Bai Qingzhi took a liking to her and took her to participate in the audition for Director Wenzhou.
