The old lady originally wanted to ask the Bai family driver to take her, but before the car could even leave the old house, the gatekeeper summoned Xiao Yuan to come and pick her up.
The old lady already knew about the two of them, and she was quite satisfied with Xiao Yuan's child.
He personally saw Bai Qingzhi off, watched her get into Xiao Yuan's car with a smile, and then turned around and slowly walked back.
Xiaodie supported the old lady the whole time, watching the car drive away until it was quite a distance before turning her gaze away.
"Grandma, who is that man?" Xiaodie asked curiously.
Xiao Yuan had only nodded to the old lady from a distance, so she hadn't seen him clearly.
"Qingzhi's boyfriend, the boy is nice," the old lady replied with a smile.
"Qingzhi already has a boyfriend?" Xiaodie asked in surprise, her mouth slightly agape.
Madam Bai nodded.
"Yes, but Qingzhi is already twenty-one this year, it's time for her to have a boyfriend. Speaking of which, you're already twenty-two, do you have a boyfriend?"
The old lady asked with a gossipy look in her eyes.
Xiaodie lowered her head shyly and answered:
"I'm not in a hurry."
The old lady patted her hand affectionately, feeling even more sorry for her.
Before she could even remember anything, Xiaodie's parents died, leaving her to live with her neighbor.
But the neighbors couldn't take care of her for long, so they had no choice but to send her to an orphanage, where she grew up until she was six years old, when she was adopted by a family.
The first three months after the adoption were indeed a good time, but soon the woman of the household became pregnant and grew increasingly displeased with Xiaodie.
Xiaodie couldn't take it anymore and ran back to the orphanage. When she was eight years old, she found a second family.
However, the male head of the household had an alcoholic problem, and whenever he drank too much, he would beat her adoptive mother. The reason that adoptive mother took her back was to take the beatings for her.
In the end, it was only with the help of the orphanage that Xiaodie was able to leave that family. After that, she never wanted to leave again.
Xiao Die has been self-reliant almost all her life since she was a child. She dropped out of school at the age of sixteen to work.
Life in the orphanage wasn't good, but it gave her a home, and Xiaodie has taken almost all the money she's earned back over the years.
She had been pursued by several men before, and Xiaodie liked one of them very much, but after seeing her condition, the boy left without saying goodbye.
From then on, Xiaodie stopped believing in love and focused on making money.
After Bai Qingzhi got into the car, she excitedly told Xiao Yuan that someone who looked very much like her had come to her house.
Xiao Yuan frowned slightly upon hearing this.
After all, there was a time when Huang Wei had plastic surgery to look like Bai Qinghuan, so the sudden appearance of someone like that would inevitably make him wary.
He immediately instructed his assistant to investigate.
Xiao Yuan looked at Bai Qingzhi, who was talking non-stop, and thoughtfully handed her the water he had prepared beforehand.
Just then, Bai Qingzhi glanced outside unintentionally, and in the dim light, she seemed to see a familiar figure.
"Stop the car!" The driver slammed on the brakes as soon as he finished speaking.
Bai Qingzhi leaned forward uncontrollably, and if Xiao Yuan hadn't caught her in time, she might have ended up crawling under the car.
"Don't you know it's dangerous?" Xiao Yuan asked, his tone somewhat displeased.
Bai Qingzhi didn't care about anything else and hurriedly grabbed Xiao Yuan's hand, gesturing for him to look out the window.
"Is that Leng Yan?" Bai Qingzhi rubbed her eyes hard, but it was already night, and she still couldn't see very clearly.
Following her finger, Xiao Yuan squinted and saw a woman sitting in a shop on the street, with several other people beside her.
This restaurant belongs to Xiao Yuan and is an ultra-luxury restaurant. It's not a place that ordinary people can afford. An afternoon tea here costs tens of thousands of yuan on average.
“That’s right.” Xiao Yuan looked for a while, and finally remembered Leng Yan’s face in his mind, and then nodded affirmatively.
"Perhaps he's having a get-together with friends?" Xiao Yuan guessed.
But Bai Qingzhi subconsciously retorted.
"A party at such an upscale place? Even if we split the bill, it would still cost a lot of money. She even has to ask my third brother for money to go on trips, how could she possibly have the money to come here?"
A sixth sense told Bai Qingzhi that something was wrong.
Bai Qingzhi felt angry whenever she thought of Bai Qingyu's love-struck mind. There were no wild vegetables in City A, otherwise she would have made him dig for eighteen years!
In the end, the two got out of the car. Bai Qingzhi sneaked inside, which made Xiao Yuan behind her laugh.
He was the boss, so the people here naturally recognized him. Xiao Yuan reached out to stop them from greeting him, afraid of disturbing Bai Qingzhi's reconnaissance activities.
Using hand gestures to signal others not to disturb them, Xiao Yuan and Bai Qingzhi went to a seat not far from Leng Yan.
However, there was a partition in the middle, so they couldn't see this side.
Bai Qingzhi could clearly hear their conversation.
They're all just pointless topics about fashion, cosmetics, and beauty.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Bai Qingzhi suddenly heard a woman asking Leng Yan a question.
"Your sugar daddy even works at a bar for you?"
Bai Qingzhi's brows furrowed immediately.
Leng Yan scoffed at the question, then seemed to take a sip of something before answering:
"The bag I want to buy would cost him a year if he didn't eat or drink anything, but he's okay with me, he can still give me some pocket money."
His tone was cold and indifferent.
"But to be honest, that guy is really good-looking. When you get tired of him, you can introduce him to your girlfriends. Even if it's free, it's still a pleasure to be with him, isn't it?"
They laughed after they finished speaking.
Bai Qingzhi felt her anger rising rapidly, wishing she could rush up and tear off Leng Yan's ugly face.
But in the end, I held back.
He sent a message to Bai Qingyu, asking him to come over, and also recorded the conversation they had just had.
