"I wonder what Miss Bai means?" Xiao Nan asked with a sinister smile.
Before Bai Qingzhi could answer, Bai Qingze stepped forward, put his arm around his sister's shoulder, and replied with disdain in his eyes:
"Do you really think just any Tom, Dick, or Harry from the Bai family can be a son-in-law? What do you mean? You're not good enough!"
Bai Qingze has always had a sharp tongue.
Xiao Yuan's mood improved immediately. It seemed that his brothers-in-law didn't dislike him after all; at least they didn't compare him to a cat or a dog.
Xiao Nan glared at Bai Qingze without saying a word, and finally left with a cold laugh.
Bai Qinghuai also walked over, looking at Xiao Nan's back.
"Are you just going to let him be so arrogant?"
Xiao Yuan shrugged indifferently.
"He'll have plenty of time to regret it later, so it's good to let him be happy for now."
However, after pausing, he turned to look at Bai Qingzhi pitifully and said...
"Zhizhi, I've lost all my shares and been kicked out of the Xiao family. Could I stay at your house for a few days?"
Bai Qinghuai and Bai Qingzhi, who were standing next to each other, were instantly stunned. How could this shameless person do such a thing?
Bai Qingzhi tilted her head and subconsciously thought, Xiao Yuan is just no longer the general manager, it's not like he has no family.
Besides, didn't he sell his shares? He can't possibly be broke, right?
"Zhizhi, my parents have gone out, and the money is still locked in the card. You can't just watch me go homeless, can you?" Xiao Yuan stepped forward, his expression even more pitiful.
Bai Qinghuai nearly ground his teeth to powder.
"Then you have to ask my parents if they agree or not," Bai Qingzhi replied blankly.
Although she wanted to help, she still felt that her parents should make the decision.
Hearing Zhizhi's words, Xiao Yuan's mood improved completely. Taking advantage of the fact that his two brothers-in-law were not paying attention, he decisively reached out and patted Zhizhi's head.
Bai Qingze's eyes widened instantly. If he weren't afraid of being unable to defeat Xiao Yuan, he would definitely break his claws off today!
"I'm going to check on my sister." Bai Qingzhi noticed that her hairstyle seemed a bit messy, gave Xiao Yuan an innocent glare with her big eyes, and then said.
Xiao Yuan didn't sense Bai Qingzhi's anger at all; on the contrary, she seemed to be acting softly and coquettishly.
Bai Qingzhi walked through the banquet hall alone, but her sister was nowhere to be seen.
Just as they approached the back door, they unconsciously noticed two people pulling and tugging at each other in the garden not far away, one of whom was Bai Qinghuan.
The other person was hidden in the shadows, and Bai Qingzhi couldn't see them clearly.
Although they couldn't hear what the two were saying, Bai Qinghuan was clearly very agitated. Bai Qingzhi, afraid that someone would bully her sister, lifted her skirt and went over.
Now that she was closer, she could hear their argument clearly.
"Gu Ting, I've already said it, we're not a good match!" Bai Qinghuan's tone was somewhat serious, but Bai Qingzhi could still detect a hint of helplessness in it.
Gu Ting across from him had red eyes, looking like an abandoned puppy.
"Why? I know I'm a bit naive and can't compare to those big shots, but we're the perfect match!" Gu Ting's voice trembled as he cautiously reached out to grab Bai Qinghuan's hand.
But Bai Qinghuan flung him away.
"I already have someone I like, can you please stop bothering me? I'm so annoyed!" Bai Qinghuan's voice became sharper.
Gu Ting fell silent, slowly lowered his head, and after what seemed like an eternity, quietly asked who it was.
Bai Qinghuan originally wanted to say there was no need to tell him, but knowing Gu Ting's personality, she knew that if she didn't reveal a name today, Gu Ting would not give up.
She quickly thought through the men she knew, finally settling on one person's face.
"Have you heard of Xiao Yuan? You and he are completely different. I only like mature and steady men!" Bai Qinghuan silently apologized to Xiao Yuan in her heart.
In a moment of desperation, he had no choice but to pull her out to shield him from the knife.
Gu Ting had met Xiao Yuan before, but still somewhat unwilling to give up, he pressed for more information:
"Does he like you? Can he protect you?"
Bai Qinghuan didn't want to discuss this topic any further with him, and answered directly:
"Whether he likes me or not is irrelevant. You should leave now. What if he sees this and misunderstands? How am I supposed to pursue him then?"
Gu Ting kept his lips tightly pressed together and didn't utter a word, his entire body shrouded in shadow.
Upon hearing this, Bai Qingzhi felt a pang of sadness and, unable to continue reading, hurriedly lifted her skirt and ran away.
My sister actually likes Xiao Yuan? Why does she feel uncomfortable about it?
Xiao Yuan was searching everywhere for Bai Qingzhi, hoping to spend more time with her, when he looked up and saw her running back from the back garden. Even when he greeted her as she passed by, she ignored him.
I instinctively felt something was wrong.
However, before Xiao Yuan could catch up, he was stopped by someone. When he turned around, he saw his assistant looking at him with a serious expression.
Looking in the direction of Zhizhi again, Xiao Yuan asked his assistant what had happened.
Meanwhile, Bai Qingzhi ran back to her room upstairs in a daze, her sister's words echoing in her mind.
My heart ached with a bittersweet feeling, and it felt like something was about to spill from my eyes.
It was at this moment that Bai Qingzhi vaguely realized that her feelings for Xiao Yuan seemed to have changed.
But then her face fell. She had fallen for Xiao Yuan, as expected, but her sister liked him too. What should she do?
She sat blankly on the edge of the bed, her mind filled with the tender moments Xiao Yuan had shown her, as well as her sister's and her own smiles.
Half an hour later, Bai Qingzhi seemed to have made a decision, sighed and gradually became more determined.
Picking up the document Xiao Yuan had given her, Bai Qingzhi tidied herself up and went downstairs.
Finding Xiao Yuan in the crowd, Bai Qingzhi walked over.
Upon seeing his beloved arrive, Xiao Yuan immediately pushed away everyone's wine glasses and looked at Bai Qingzhi with bright eyes.
"Zhizhi..." Xiao Yuan was interrupted by Bai Qingzhi before he could finish speaking.
“Mr. Xiao, I hesitated for a long time. This gift is too precious for me to accept. Thank you for coming to my birthday party today, and thank you for the gift.”
After Bai Qingzhi finished speaking, she shoved the document back to Xiao Yuan with a cold expression.
Xiao Yuan was stunned. Everything was fine just now, so what happened?
Moreover, his childish tone clearly carried a sense of distance, even more so than when they first met.
A sense of panic rose in Xiao Yuan's heart, and he subconsciously tried to grab her wrist, but Bai Qingzhi dodged it.
“I believe Mr. Xiao certainly doesn’t own any property, so it’s probably not appropriate for him to move into my house.” After saying that, Bai Qingzhi turned and left without looking at Xiao Yuan’s expression.
Xiao Yuan felt like he hadn't grasped something, and when he thought about chasing after Bai Qingzhi, his eyes flickered and he gave up.
Now, Zhizhi is clearly somewhat resistant to her, and he needs to figure out what happened first.
Bai Qingzhi, with her back to Xiao Yuan, had tears welling up in her eyes, which she struggled to hold back.
Since her sister likes him, she can no longer get too close to Xiao Yuan.
