Chapter 125 Chapter 125 Tomorrow morning, you will accompany me to the hospital...
With two "clicks", the tangled strands of hair were torn apart in Ao Xinyi's hands.
Ao Xinyi pursed her lips tightly, and her tears fell on the back of her hands, burning her so much that she stood up and quickly wiped the tears from the back of her hands on her skirt.
Bai Shuting's brows were furrowed, and his already stern expression became even darker. He held Ao Xinyi with a stern face, and looked at Jiang Muning, who was talking softly to Ji Ke, with his deep eagle eyes.
Ao Xinyi took a few deep breaths and spread out his shawl: "...It's ready, let's go up."
She turned around and smiled at Ji Ke and Ji Kui, "Excuse me, please come in."
Ji Ke looked at her expression and felt that it had changed a lot in the blink of an eye, as if something had happened again.
He suppressed his confusion, nodded and asked Ji Kui to enter the elevator first. He then stepped in and helped Jiang Mu Ning in. The group entered the elevator one after another.
Bai Songxu stood at the elevator door, his face gloomy and ugly: "Sorry, I suddenly remembered something urgent, you guys go up first."
No one cared about Bai Songxu in today's situation. Bai Si nodded and said, "Go and do what you want to do."
Just as he was about to close the elevator door, Bai Siqi suddenly stepped out of the elevator and squeezed his brother's shoulder: "Is it so urgent? I'll go with you."
"Third brother..."
Bai Siqi smiled at the two people from the Ji family inside.
The elevator door closed. Bai Siqi watched the numbers slowly rise, then turned around and dragged Bai Songxu away.
"Third brother, what are you doing here?"
Bai Songxu was furious, and his heart was also in turmoil because of Bai Qingqing's inner voice. But what made him most uneasy was that Bai Qingqing had never made a mistake in her inner voice, and she would never lie...
But how could Ningning do that?
Did Bai Qingqing misunderstand something? She was just guessing and talking nonsense in her mind without confirming anything.
I've never heard of protein inhibitors!
Bai Songxu couldn't wait to confirm it, and wanted to check out the pile of gifts that Ningning had sent home before, to see if there was anything protein-rich.
Although he ran away not long after opening his gift, there was no shortage of supplements at home, so Ningning would not give him something like this...
Bai Songxu thought about it and couldn't wait to rush over to confirm it.
Bai Siqi held his hand and wouldn't let him go: "I'll do whatever you want me to do."
"Do you know what I'm going to do?" Bai Songxu's eyes widened, his expression surprised and suspicious: "No, you... know what I'm going to do?"
Bai Siqi closed his eyes, threw him to the corner, let go of his silly brother, took a deep breath, and said directly: "It's been two months, Bai Songxu, you don't think you are the only one who can hear it?"
"...What did you hear?" Bai Songxu said hesitantly.
Bai Siqi took a step forward, lowered his head and approached Bai Songxu's face, and said speechlessly: "The voice of the heart."
"The voice of our biological sister, Bai Qingqing."
The scenes he had seen in the illusion before rushed into his eyes, even though he knew they were all fake, just illusions after changing his face.
But in those moments, he really felt that he and Bai Qingqing had lived together for nearly twenty years, they were inseparable siblings, and Qingqing was someone he truly loved.
When the illusion became unstable, he clearly saw Bai Qingqing's eyes turn red and she whispered:
If there was no Bai Muning, Bai Qingqing would probably live like this.
Yes, if the wrong child was taken away, his sister should have been her, and the sister he made a promise to in the hospital was also her.
Bai Siqi now has complicated feelings towards Bai Qingqing, but no matter how complicated they are, he has to verify what she just said first.
Giving medicine to one's mother is not something that can be ambiguously discussed.
Even if Bai Qingqing explained the whole story in her mind, her tone of speculation proved that she was not very sure.
She had never gotten along well with Mu Ning and thought that this might have been done intentionally by Mu Ning.
But they had lived with Mu Ning day and night for eighteen years, and they all knew clearly that Mu Ning was not that kind of person at all!
Even if his mother had had a relationship with Jiang Jin, Mu Ning would not drug her.
Things of this nature cannot be arbitrarily deducted.
Bai Siqi wondered if Bai Qingqing had misunderstood her by chance.
But right now he couldn't let Xiaowu go check it out alone.
He has an impulsive personality and is not very smart. Today, people from the Ji family are present. If things are not handled properly and are discovered by the two people from the Ji family and then get back to the ears of the Jiang family, the situation will become complicated.
Although Bai Siqi's mind was in a mess, his thoughts were working quickly. In the time it took to talk to his silly brother, he had almost come up with a plan in his mind.
He pressed his palm on Bai Songxu's shoulder, who hadn't reacted yet, and squeezed it with his fingers. "Come back to your senses. Let's go find Ms. Xu first and see where those things are. Also, let's go check out what Bai Qingqing said was under her window."
Bai Songxu now truly believed that his third brother could also hear Bai Qingqing's thoughts, and for a moment he felt even more complicated and indescribable.
I just feel like everything happened at the same time today, and each one of them is a big deal.
First, Mu Ning and Ji Ke were engaged, so today's meal was for meeting the parents. Before he could react, he heard Bai Qingqing say that Ning Ning was in danger of death and was being targeted by an evil Feng Shui master.
Now there is also the matter of drugging, and there was an affair between Mom and Uncle Jiang when they were young... and Third Brother could hear it, which is not right.
Bai Songxu was walking behind Bai Siqi, but suddenly stopped and asked him, "If you can hear... well, if I can hear it too, does that mean... as long as he's Bai Qingqing's brother..."
Bai Siqi was always very reserved, but he couldn't keep his expression, and said in a harsh tone: "Oh my God, Bai Songxu, what's wrong with your brain? Don't you really know that everyone can hear it?"
"Not only us, but also my uncle. As long as they are relatives related to her by blood, they can hear it."
Bai Songxu: “…”
The two had already arrived at the warehouse while they were talking. After receiving Bai Siqi's message, Ms. Xu was already standing at the door waiting for them.
The things that Jiang Mu Ning had sent home before had already been unpacked and taken to everyone's room or placed in various corners of the house as decoration, but the gifts at that time were all registered in the warehouse system.
The gift was delivered less than a week ago, and the unwrapped packaging hadn’t been thrown away yet.
Ms. Xu was a little surprised that they were looking for packaging boxes, but she still led the two to the shelf and pointed at the things in the cart and said, "These are them. They will be cleared out at ten o'clock tonight."
"Don't clean it up yet." Bai Siqi nodded and said, "Ningning said there was a greeting card. It might have fallen into a gap. Let's look for it ourselves. You go ahead and do your work."
Bai Songxu originally wanted to ask Ms. Xu to take out the form again for him to see, but Bai Siqi pushed him forward and he couldn't open his mouth.
Ms. Xu could see that they wanted to get her away, so she didn't ask any questions, just smiled, nodded, and left.
The two of them didn't look through the boxes. Bai Siqi looked through the gift list on the warehouse computer.
Bai Songxu saw the line with his name on it and remembered, "The game console in my room was given by Ningning. There can't be any protein on it."
"Protease inhibitors."
Bai Siqi frowned at the form.
Most of the gifts Ning Ning brought this time were ornaments or hand-held items, as well as some scented candles. He took two photos of the form and called Bai Songxu to leave, saying, "Hand over the game console, and send everything on the form for testing."
"All?" Bai Songxu's eyes widened. "What are protease inhibitors? I have a game console! There won't be any on the game console, right?"
"Send every one of them for testing, so that Ningning can prove her innocence."
Bai Siqi took a deep breath, took Bai Songxu out of the warehouse, and walked to the flower bed on the first floor below Bai Qingqing's window.
Directly above was Bai Qingqing's bedroom window. If he was someone who intended to do something bad, he would definitely not be in a position facing the window.
Bai Siqi expanded the scope and climbed over the flower beds one by one along the wall.
The Bai family's gardener tends to the flowers and plants every day. Whenever he sees some withered flowers, he will remove and replace them. If there are really any, they probably won't be able to stay.
Bai Qingqing's idea about the flower bed was untenable.
At this time, the whole family is talking in the tea room.
Bai Siqi took one last look at the camera at the corner of the wall, then left with Bai Songxu, asking Ms. Xu to collect all the gifts according to the gift list and put them back into the original gift boxes. All those involved were asked to keep their mouths shut and not reveal a word to their family or outsiders.
The workers in charge of cleaning the house had no idea what was wrong with the Third Young Master, but with Butler Xu in charge, they dared not ask anything. They filled the cart with the gifts and returned all of them.
Ms. Xu has been a family keeper for nearly thirty years. Bai Siqi knew what happened tonight, and she must have had some guesses in her mind, so she didn't even think of hiding it from her.
Just ask her to send him the surveillance footage of the days when Mu Ning came back, and if Mu Ning asked anything, she could find an excuse to avoid it.
*
7:30 in the evening.
The door of the tea room was finally opened, and the Bai family members who came out all had serious expressions on their faces. They forced themselves to smile and arranged for the two people from the Ji family to stay in the guest room.
Bai Mincheng and Bai Heyun also looked at each other, said goodbye and left.
Jiang Muning stayed where he was, with a worried look on his face, obviously having something on his mind.
Ao Xinyi gently touched her head and said in a gentle tone: "Don't worry, there are people from Xuanmen and the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau to protect you closely, so there will be no problem with safety. As long as we are together, no matter how difficult the problem is, we can solve it.
It’s getting late. Since you’re not feeling well, you should go to bed early.”
Jiang Muning was indeed feeling unwell. After Bai Qingqing forcibly extracted E01 from her body, she felt as if she had suffered a serious illness and had half of her life taken away.
Although she no longer feels any pain in her body, she still has difficulty walking a few steps.
She really needs to take care of herself.
Jiang Mu Ning nodded obediently. It was not even eight o'clock yet but she was already feeling tired. She said softly to Ao Xinyi and Bai Shuting, "Mom, your cough hasn't healed yet. Go to bed early too. Don't worry too much about me."
Ao Xinyi's eyes flashed, and his fingers couldn't help but touch his neck. His eyes were fixed on Jiang Mu Ning's face, and his nose felt sore.
This is the daughter she raised. The expression of genuine concern on her face does not seem fake. There is not a single clue to be seen, only sincerity in her eyes.
Ao Xinyi pressed the corners of his lips and reached out to tidy up her hair: "Okay, Mom should also rest early, we will both take care of our bodies and be fine."
Jiang Mu Ning was about to nod with a smile when she heard Ao Xinyi say that and smiled, as if he was looking forward to everything being fine in the future: "Mom is still thinking about returning to the screen. When Mom's cough is healed, we can film together as mother and daughter until we grow old."
Ao Xinyi had mentioned the comeback to her before. He took the script handed over by Tang Yingzhuo and talked to her about many things that happened in the past.
It sounds like she is reminiscing about the past, but in fact she is just hesitating and struggling, wanting to hear a few words of support from her. Why does it seem like she has decided to make a comeback now?
It wasn't like this in my past life.
Just when she was about to make a comeback, her throat got worse. Ao Xinyi thought it was God's will and that God told her not to think about making a comeback. This time, the same thing happened, but the result was completely opposite.
She still hasn't given up?
Jiang Mu Ning pondered in his heart, maintaining a concerned and tender expression on his face, and said happily: "Okay! Let's act together until we grow old!"
"Go back to your room quickly." Ao Xinyi stood beside her husband with a smile on her face. She watched Jiang Muning turn and leave. The smile on her face faded and she looked towards the tea room with the door half closed.
Bai Qingqing received a call from Director Zi and was still on the phone.
I don't know what they were talking about, the phone had been going on for a while.
Ao Xinyi's tears rolled down, and she leaned her forehead against her husband's arm, saying in a hoarse voice: "Where are the things Ningning sent home before? I want to check them all, without missing a single thing, cough cough cough..."
"Xinyi...don't cry, I'll have someone check it out right now."
Ao Xinyi sobbed while suppressing his voice.
Bai Qingqing was talking on the phone in the tea room when she heard some crying sounds. She looked outside curiously and saw a black figure.
Bai Shuting patted his wife's back and whispered, "Qingqing is still in there..."
Ao Xinyi took a few deep breaths, wiped away his tears, raised his head again, and continued to wait for Bai Qingqing to finish her call and come out.
From what Qingqing said during the conversation just now, she seems to want to go deeper into this matter.
It's true that Qingqing is very powerful, but the country has the Special Investigation Bureau, Beijing has the Xuanmen, and the people from the Yunji Sect are said to be very powerful as well. It's definitely not her turn as a girl to rush forward and fight.
Xiaowu is stupid and doesn't know the seriousness of the matter. He asked Qingqing for help at the dinner table. She must not take him seriously!
As Ao Xinyi thought about it, she forgot to cry for a moment, her voice became softer, and she pulled her husband quietly towards the crack of the door.
Two tall black shadows passed through the crack in the door, and were reflected on the floor, gradually lengthening. Bai Qingqing looked at the ground and smiled. She hung up the phone with Zi Wenbin, pushed open the door of the tea room, and came face to face with the two people outside, saying, "Why don't you go home?"
"I'm waiting for you. I can't let you go back alone. Are you done with the call?" Ao Xinyi smiled a little awkwardly and took two steps back with her husband.
"What's the big deal? I'm not a child anymore. Do I have to go back to my room hand in hand with someone?" Bai Qingqing looked at the couple's faces and said directly, "Do you have anything to say?"
"Mom just doesn't want you to leave alone." Ao Xinyi took her daughter's hand and walked towards the elevator, saying, "But I do have something to say."
"Qingqing, don't be too stubborn about Wushang. I know you've fought him before and have experience, but just because it worked once doesn't mean it will work every time..."
Bai Qingqing nodded: "Of course, if there is no need, I won't fight him."
"What I mean is that Ningning has someone to protect her, so don't... take all the blame on yourself."
The three of them were in the elevator, and the enclosed space was extremely quiet.
Bai Qingqing raised her eyebrows slightly but said nothing.
Ao Xinyi continued, "Boss Ji said he would send someone to protect you, why didn't you refuse? I know they are not as strong as you, but two fists cannot beat four hands, more people means more help. I think you still have to keep the bodyguard. If you are embarrassed, mom will talk to Boss Ji and the others tomorrow morning."
"What you said makes sense. I'll talk to Ji Ke myself tomorrow. Otherwise, he won't know what kind of person I need."
"Okay!" Ao Xinyi happily sent his daughter to the room.
The nanny just brought a pot of soup to the door. When she saw Ao Xinyi, she said, "Madam, this is Miss Qingqing's soup. Miss Mu Ning's soup has also been sent to her room."
Ao Xinyi paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Mu Ning's room.
The nanny put down the soup bowl and was about to leave. Jiang Muning looked at the bookshelf in his room and called her over: "Who has been to my room these days? Where are the candles and candlesticks on my shelf?"
The nanny was stunned for a moment, followed Jiang Mu Ning's gaze, and said nervously, "I'm sorry, Miss. I accidentally knocked over the candlestick when I was cleaning yesterday, and the candle broke... Housekeeper Xu said she would order a set of the same ones, but they haven't arrived yet... I'm really sorry."
"It's okay, I just asked casually. If it's broken, it's broken. Don't be nervous." Jiang Muning frowned as he looked at the empty shelf, but soon smiled and comforted him.
She then asked: "The candle broke, but what about the candlestick? Was it broken too?"
"Candlestick..." The nanny's eyes wandered, looking at the empty shelf, and she quickly answered: "The candlestick is not broken, but it doesn't look good without the candle, so I took it away too."
"It doesn't matter whether it looks good or not. It's just a decoration." Jiang Mu Ning smiled and walked to the table to open the soup bowl. He said gently, "Since the candlestick is not broken, take it back. Don't waste it."
"Okay, then I'll go look for it. Miss, you can take a rest first." The nanny leaned forward, and as soon as she went out, she quickly sent a message to Butler Xu, saying that Miss Mu Ning was looking for a candlestick.
On the other side, Bai San and the Ao Bai couple stood together, and the two sides had just exchanged information.
Although Ao Xinyi and Bai Shuting had guessed it before, they still felt sad when they heard with their own ears that their third son and Xiaowu collected all the gifts that Ningning had sent home and sent them for testing.
Bai Siqi looked reluctant, and the always impulsive Bai Songxu also fell silent.
Even though Bai Siqi heard Butler Xu's report that Mu Ning wanted the candlestick in her room, he still didn't quite believe that she would do such a thing, but the reality forced him to think more.
Bai Siqi said in a low voice: "I have contacted the laboratory. They will do the test for us tonight. The process will take about 36 hours. The results will be available tomorrow night at the earliest. If it is slower, it will be the morning of the day after tomorrow."
"We have sent a lot of items for testing this time. I think... we need to check every artifact thoroughly."
"Mom...don't think too much about it these two days. It might just be a misunderstanding."
Ao Xinyi's eyes were red, but he didn't cry. He looked calmer and more rational than anyone else: "It's okay, just be clear. Your mother has lived half her life and has seen everything. This little thing can't affect me."
"It's getting late, you all should go back and rest, and stop hanging around me."
Bai Siqi nodded and pulled Bai Songxu away.
Ao Xinyi stood there, sighed slowly, grabbed Bai Shuting's sleeve, and said in a much hoarse voice than before: "Tomorrow morning, you accompany me to the hospital and say I'm going to see a doctor for throat surgery."
"Don't go to our hospital, go see your someone... go to your friend."
Bai Shuting immediately understood what she meant.
It is not enough to detect objects.
Xinyi also wanted to see if he was really allergic to protease inhibitors.
