Bai Qingzhi was indeed somewhat disoriented when the drug took effect, but she remembered everything after the effects wore off.
He naturally remembered how he had stirred up trouble for Xiao Yuan.
Thinking of this, Bai Qingzhi's face instantly turned bright red, and she wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.
I'm such a lecherous scoundrel!
However, Bai Qingzhi raised her head and looked at Xiao Yuan with bright eyes in an instant. Sure enough, Brother Yuan was a gentleman who remained unmoved even under such circumstances.
Xiao Yuan was also somewhat embarrassed, repeatedly wondering in his mind whether he had crossed the line.
Did I scare Zhizhi and make her feel like a hooligan?
Neither of them spoke, each lost in their own thoughts. Finally, Xiao Yuan couldn't take it anymore, abruptly stood up, walked to the door, and hurriedly said:
"I'll have someone prepare breakfast, and after we eat, we'll go home."
Watching the door close, Bai Qingzhi bit her lip, somewhat regretting bringing it up.
Xiao Yuan stood outside the door for a long time before calming down, then gave a bitter laugh.
If this continues, I'm afraid I really won't make it.
Before Bai Qingzhi could even return to the Bai family, people from the Bai family arrived, including Bai's father and his three sons.
The Liu family mobilized again, bringing lavish gifts to apologize.
Mr. Bai remained silent with a cold face. Although he knew in his heart that this matter had nothing to do with the Liu family, he still subconsciously implicated them.
“There’s no need for this, everyone. We know you’re not behind this,” Bai Qinghuai said.
Although he is usually a bit cold, his smile is exceptionally warm and welcoming, especially when his glasses cover the light in his eyes.
"Please pretend that yesterday's events never happened," Bai Qinghuai continued.
The Liu family members naturally agreed.
Bai Qingzhi went back with her father and several brothers, but Xiao Yuan did not go with them.
When Bai's mother returned home, she was very worried, her eyes filled with concern.
"Mom, I'm fine. I was just feeling a bit unwell yesterday, but Brother Yuan came just in time," Bai Qingzhi replied with a smile, holding her mother's hand.
Bai Qinghuan stood on the other side with a gloomy expression, subconsciously sensing that something was wrong.
She was right next to Xiao Yuan when he told Bai Qinghuai the truth, and she quickly checked her second uncle's account.
Including his family.
So Bai Qinghuan also discovered a very hidden piece of information, which was obviously deleted after being viewed. If she weren't so technically skilled, she wouldn't have been able to spot it at all.
Most importantly, the message wasn't manually deleted by Uncle Er; rather, it was programmed to be permanently destroyed once the recipient viewed it.
Most importantly, Bai Qinghuan could only see that there was such a message, but had no idea what it actually contained.
However, neither my second uncle nor his family had any such experts around them.
A storm raged through her mind, and Bai Qinghuan instinctively felt that this matter was not so simple.
"Sister, didn't you say there's a fun little island? Let's go there in a few days!" Bai Qingzhi said with a smile, taking her sister's hand.
Bai Qinghuan immediately smiled and nodded in agreement.
Although Bai Qingzhi was smiling, everyone noticed that there wasn't much joy in her eyes at all; she was just trying to reassure everyone.
That afternoon, Bai Qingzhi was called back by the old lady. Bai's mother wanted to go with her, but Bai Qingzhi reassured her.
When they arrived at the old house, Bai Qingzhi saw her grandmother waiting for her from a distance. As soon as the car stopped, Bai Qingzhi ran over to her.
"Grandma, why are you waiting outside? It's still a bit chilly in City A. You'll catch a cold." Bai Qingzhi tightened the scarf around the old lady's neck and said with a hint of complaint in her voice.
The old lady had also heard about what happened yesterday. She looked at Bai Qingzhi with heartache, then took her hand and said:
"It's okay. You need to breathe some fresh air after staying indoors for too long."
After saying that, he frowned and continued:
"Qingzhi, Grandma knows about what happened yesterday. Don't worry, Grandma will avenge you."
Bai Qingzhi lowered her head and then slowly shook it.
"Grandma, Second Uncle certainly didn't do it on purpose. He must have listened to other people's slander."
The old lady paused upon hearing this, then her brows furrowed even more deeply.
"You mean the second son did this?" the old lady asked sternly.
Bai Qingzhi suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with panic, unsure how to answer.
When the old lady saw that her granddaughter was frightened, she quickly patted her head to comfort her.
"Grandma, it might not actually be Second Uncle. It's just that Brother Yuan found out this way, so it might not be accurate," Bai Qingzhi hurriedly explained.
The old lady snorted coldly. Since it was that boy from the Xiao family who found out, it must be true.
My eyes felt even colder.
The old lady had never liked these children since they were young, but she never did anything to them. Over the years, she had turned a blind eye to their little tricks behind her back, as long as they didn't cause any big trouble. But she never expected that the second son would be so bold this time!
The old lady turned her head and thought of her husband who was abroad, and she became even angrier.
Bai Qingzhi lowered her head again, and no one saw the cold glint in her eyes.
Since her second uncle is heartless, she shouldn't blame her for being ungrateful.
The old lady didn't give Bai Qingzhi much time. After dinner, she had someone send her home. Only when the taillights of the car were out of sight did the old lady have someone make a call overseas.
The call was answered by the mother of the second son of the Bai family. The old lady didn't want to waste time talking to her and let the old man answer the phone directly.
The woman tightened her grip on the phone, and hatred surfaced on her face, but her tone remained gentle and soft.
If it weren't for the old lady of the Bai family, would I still be unable to return to China?
If she, the legitimate wife, were to agree, she would certainly become the second wife of the Bai family in a grand and glorious manner, not to mention that she also has her own son.
But now is not the time to break ties. If she waits a little longer until the shares under the old man's name are transferred to her son, she will finally be able to get back the grievances she has suffered over the years.
The old man didn't want to say a single word to his wife.
But considering that she often goes a month or two without calling, I'm afraid she's calling now because she needs something.
In the end, the old man answered the phone.
"If you come back now, you can still save your son's life. If you don't come back, then you can wait to collect your second son's corpse." The old lady's tone was icy.
The old man's eyes widened immediately. After so many years of living with his second son's biological mother, he had actually started to favor his second son.
Especially after she kept telling him how filial her second son was and how much he cared for her.
The old lady succinctly told the old man what the second son had done, and then, without waiting for him to speak, gave him a deadline.
One week.
If he returns within a week, the old lady can save his life; if he doesn't, then they can expect to collect his corpse.
The old man flew into a rage, but the old lady didn't care at all, and hung up the phone after finishing her sentence.
The second child's biological mother overheard their conversation and anxiously asked what had happened after the old man finished his call.
