The Bai family home was quiet today. The parents had gone out for a trip, the eldest brother was away on a business trip, the second brother was filming, Bai Qingyu was nowhere to be found, and Bai Qinghuan had been very busy these past few days and was often nowhere to be seen.
After arriving home, Bai Qingzhi slumped onto the sofa, unsure of what to do next.
After having dinner with Xiao Yuan that evening, Bai Qingzhi took a deep breath and finally decided to go back to her room to sleep.
Just as she lay down, her phone rang. Bai Qingzhi picked it up out of curiosity and saw that it was a message from Lin Nuannuan.
There's only one address listed; it's for a fairly large bar in the city center.
Bai Qingzhi was surprised and called back; Nuannuan had returned without telling her.
Lin Nuannuan answered quickly, but she was crying.
Her words were somewhat incoherent, and it took Bai Qingzhi a long time to understand them. The gist of it was that when she and Xiao Yangjing went on a trip, Xiao Yangjing was having an ambiguous relationship with other women.
Bai Qingzhi frowned as she put her phone on speaker while getting dressed.
Subconsciously, I always felt it was impossible.
Although Xiao Yangjing is young and somewhat naive, he is not the kind of person who can't see things clearly.
He would never forget how difficult it was to find Nuannuan back then, let alone now that they have two lovely children.
"Don't rush, just sit there and wait for me." Bai Qingzhi woke up the driver and hurriedly headed to the bar.
During this time, he dialed Xiao Yangjing's number again, but unfortunately no one answered.
He called Xiao Yuan again, but Xiao Yuan was clearly unaware that his younger brother and sister-in-law had returned.
"Have the driver take you there, don't go anywhere else, I'll be there right away," Xiao Yuan said, still worried.
Bai Qingzhi did not refuse. It was already past ten o'clock. Although China had a good public security, it was always better to be safe than sorry.
Bai Qingzhi doesn't go to bars often, so she was almost knocked over by the loud noise when she went in. She took a few deep breaths to adjust and then found the place according to the address Nuannuan had given her.
The bar had many private rooms, and the corridors were winding and twisting. Bai Qingzhi went to the wrong room several times before finally finding room 520 where Lin Nuannuan was.
Pushing open the door, I saw Lin Nuannuan sitting alone on the sofa, her face flushed and her eyes glazed over, clearly having had too much to drink.
Upon seeing Bai Qingzhi, Lin Nuannuan swayed as she stood up from the sofa and ran over, then hugged her tightly and burst into tears.
The two had a good relationship to begin with, so when Bai Qingzhi saw Lin Nuannuan crying so sadly, she couldn't help but feel sad too.
He pulled her to sit down and hurriedly asked what happened.
Lin Nuannuan is currently somewhat disoriented and her speech is incoherent. Bai Qingzhi only understands that Xiao Yangjing met a woman while abroad and then became somewhat abnormal.
At least for her, it's not like it used to be.
"You should rest today, we can talk about it tomorrow." Bai Qingzhi really didn't understand, so she helped her upstairs to rest.
Just then, Xiao Yuan arrived and frowned as he looked at Lin Nuannuan.
“She didn’t drink before,” Bai Qingzhi hurriedly defended Lin Nuannuan.
Xiao Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong with drinking, but it was inevitably more dangerous for a woman to be alone in this mixed place late at night.
However, this whole thing was caused by his younger brother.
Bai Qingzhi booked a room for Lin Nuannuan and helped her tidy up. Lin Nuannuan cried again before slowly falling asleep.
Bai Qingzhi had told Xiao Yuan the general situation when they were on the phone. Xiao Yuan also called his brother, but the result was the same: no one answered.
By the time Lin Nuannuan was settled in, it was already past midnight. Xiao Yuan bought some late-night snacks for Bai Qingzhi, and the two of them stayed at a nearby place.
"Brother Yuan, do you think Xiao Yangjing is really having an affair with another woman?" Bai Qingzhi asked while eating her late-night snack.
Xiao Yuan was sitting opposite her, holding a laptop. He stopped working when he heard her words.
“He wouldn’t dare,” Xiao Yuan said with absolute certainty.
Putting aside the Xiao family's upbringing, the fact that he was still involved with other women after getting married and having children is enough for his father to beat him to death.
In addition, my mother is most averse to this kind of thing. If Xiao Yangjing really dares to do this, he probably won't be able to enter the Xiao family's door again.
"Are you sure he won't just pay lip service while secretly going against your wishes?" Bai Qingzhi didn't believe it.
This time, Xiao Yuan raised his head and looked at her seriously, then a smile appeared on his lips.
"He dares?"
Putting everything else aside, if Xiao Yangjing really did that, he, as the eldest brother, would not let him off the hook.
Although the two children were sometimes noisy and would occasionally wet Xiao Yuan, they were still quite cute in terms of appearance.
"Alright, get some rest." After eating and drinking his fill, Xiao Yuan kissed Bai Qingzhi's forehead, covered her with the blanket, closed the door, and left.
The moment Xiao Yuan, who had been so gentle, closed the door, he turned cold and took out his phone to call Xiao Yangjing again, but the result was the same.
His gaze grew even colder. Xiao Yuan didn't strike again, but instead sent a message to his subordinates, instructing them to investigate what had happened to Xiao Yangjing abroad.
Xiao Yangjing's trip abroad with Lin Nuannuan this time was anything but low-key; he posted many photos and videos on his social media accounts, making it easy to find out more.
The news came back the next morning that Xiao Yangjing had indeed met a woman a couple of days ago, who was also Chinese, and the two did not know each other before.
Xiao Yangjing's whereabouts were quickly discovered, and it was found that he had indeed been with a woman during the two days he had not answered the phone.
Although the two did not have any real relationship, Xiao Yangjing's behavior really angered Xiao Yuan.
Then he sent a message to his mother briefly recounting the incident, and then sent someone home to pick up the two children.
Xiao's mother was also very angry about her youngest son's behavior. Although she was reluctant to part with her grandson, she still listened to Xiao Yuan's words.
Lin Nuannuan had sobered up. Bai Qingzhi had heard Xiao Yuan talk about Xiao Yangjing when she woke up in the morning, so she was hesitating about how to tell Lin Nuannuan.
"They're together, right?" Lin Nuannuan cried all day yesterday, but she has completely calmed down now.
She wasn't stupid; she could tell what Xiao Yangjing was doing just by looking at Bai Qingzhi's expression.
Lin Nuannuan chuckled self-deprecatingly, sighed, turned to look at Bai Qingzhi who was worried about her, and reached out to take her hand.
"I'm fine. I already vented yesterday."
After saying that, he even smiled slightly.
“Brother Yuan investigated and found that Xiao Yangjing and that woman didn’t do anything. I guess he must have some ulterior motive.”
After all, everyone has seen Xiao Yangjing's previous behavior; he genuinely loves Nuannuan, so it's unlikely he would change his mind so easily when he meets another woman.
Lin Nuannuan nodded.
“I know he won’t do anything, but you also know that I’m a bit petty and can’t stand any nonsense.”
