On the phone, Xiao Yuan said things went very smoothly, but Bai Qingzhi could tell that Xiao Nan wouldn't just surrender so easily.
That's right. Bai Qingzhi's suggestion last time was to capture the leader first. Since Xiao Nan is threatening us with Grandma Xiao's death, we might as well just get rid of him.
Fortunately, Xiao Nan wasn't that bright; he thought that since he had Xiao Grandpa's life in his grasp, no one would dare to touch him.
The group arrived at a high-end restaurant. Bai Qingzhi seemed to know the place well, but surprisingly, Wenrou was also very familiar with it, as if she came here often.
But then I thought about it again. Designers with a little fame make several million a year, so it's normal for them to spend money at this place.
Qiao Shanshan and Yuan Na, on the other hand, seemed a little uncomfortable and were quite reserved.
Bai Qingzhi personally served food to Yuan Na and the other woman, chatting and laughing to ease their tension.
Wenrou kept her eyes on the chopsticks in her hand the whole time, occasionally glancing up at Bai Qingze.
The meal went fairly well, and Bai Qingze called a car to take Yuan Na and Qiao Shanshan home.
Wenrou lives nearby, just a ten-minute walk away.
"Let us take you home. It's getting late, and it's not safe for a girl to be out alone," Bai Qingze said politely.
Wenrou excitedly grabbed Bai Qingzhi's hand.
The three walked downstairs, and Wenrou hesitated for a long time before speaking softly:
"Why don't you come up and have a seat?"
Although he was speaking to Bai Qingzhi, his eyes were constantly on Bai Qingze.
Bai Qingzhi naturally knew her little scheme, so she didn't refuse directly, but instead looked at her second brother.
Although Wenrou seems to be doing well now and they get along well, this matter concerns her second brother, so she cannot make decisions on her own.
Having been in the entertainment industry for a long time, Bai Qingze had seen all kinds of women. Although this woman was gentle and cautious, he still managed to discover her intentions.
Turning to his younger sister, he asked:
"Shall we go up?"
The problem has returned to Bai Qingzhi.
Seeing her gentle, pleading gaze, Bai Qingzhi thought for a moment and then agreed.
It's only a little past eight o'clock, so it's not too late.
Wenrou immediately smiled and took Bai Qingzhi's hand as they walked ahead.
This is an old residential area without elevators, but because it is located in the city center, the housing prices have always been very high.
"You haven't thought about moving?" Bai Qingzhi asked gently, looking at the somewhat dirty and messy hallway.
She turned her head gently and smiled softly, then replied with a hint of helplessness:
"This is the best value apartment I could find. The monthly rent is only a little over 5,000 yuan. Other apartments with better conditions cost over 10,000 yuan."
Bai Qingzhi did not continue speaking.
The three of them quickly went up to the third floor and gently and skillfully unlocked the door.
It's a small one-bedroom apartment, very clean.
"You cleaned this yourself? It's even cleaner than my housekeeper's. Whoever marries you will be so lucky!" Bai Qingzhi changed her shoes, and even though she was wearing white socks, there wasn't a speck of dust on the ground.
Wenrou smiled shyly, then went to the kitchen to pour water for the two of them.
"When I have free time, I like to do housework to relieve stress."
Bai Qingzhi held a water glass in her hand, looking around curiously.
"You're amazing! You can grow so many flowers. I can't even keep them alive," Bai Qingzhi said, looking at the dozen or so pots of brightly blooming flowers on the windowsill.
"I just raised it randomly, and I like it so I'm giving it to you."
Seeing that Bai Qingzhi was still standing in front of a pot of roses, Wenrou spoke up without caring.
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Qingzhi's gaze shifted to her, and she waved her hand with a smile, saying that it would be a pity to raise it to death.
Bai Qingze didn't say much. His purpose today was simply to pick up his sister from get off work, so he consciously played the role of a supporting character.
Seeing that it was past nine o'clock, Bai Qingzhi took her brother's leave and gently and kindly saw them to the door.
Then they closed the door with some reluctance.
Back in the house, seeing that the two of them hadn't drunk any water, she gently picked it up and poured it into the sink.
Bai Qingzhi remained silent the entire time she waited until she got back into the car.
Bai Qingze rubbed her head and asked what was wrong.
Bai Qingzhi seemed to suddenly come to her senses, a sweet smile appearing on her face as she shook her head to indicate that she was alright.
Bai Qingze didn't ask too many questions; his younger sister was older now and had her own thoughts.
The next day it was a bit chilly, and the sky was covered with dark, heavy clouds.
Bai Qingzhi chose a long white coat, as today was also the day Xiao Yuan returned.
The two hadn't seen each other for several days, and Bai Qingzhi couldn't concentrate on her work all morning.
But to her surprise, it wasn't Xiao Yuan she met first, but Grandpa Xiao.
Grandpa Xiao seemed to be in a good mood, and he looked much more energetic than the last time I saw him.
Xiao Qiangwei was with her, and saw Bai Qingzhi wink mischievously.
Wenrou was also happy to see Xiao Qiangwei, and the two went to the other side to chat.
"Qingzhi, you must be tired from work lately? You seem to have lost some weight," Grandpa Xiao said with a slight smile.
Bai Qingzhi smiled somewhat shyly.
I've indeed spent several sleepless nights working on this design.
The old man only asked a few questions before changing the subject, looking around at Bai Qingzhi's studio, and then sitting down on the sofa.
From the folder Xiao Qiangwei brought, Grandpa Xiao took out a contract, which Bai Qingzhi took and saw was actually an equity transfer.
The old man's name had already been signed.
"Grandpa, this..." Bai Qingzhi was somewhat surprised when she saw the note that the old man wanted to transfer five percent of Xiao's shares to her.
Even if we put aside the fact that she and Xiao Yuan were only in a romantic relationship, even if they were already married, she would still only be a wife, right?
