Chapter 134 Chapter 134 She picked out a favorite iron…
In the evening, Bai Qingqing returned home and found that there were two extra guests at home today, Aunt Tang and Zhuang You.
Zhuang You, Bai San’s blind date, the cello player.
Ao Xinyi started filming a new drama during the day, and Aunt Tang Tang Hanmei, as a good friend of Ao Xinyi, went to celebrate. After lunch, the group had tea and chatted in a teahouse in the afternoon.
Zhuang You just finished her global tour today, and when she went to see her mother, the two sides happened to run into each other.
The child who went on a blind date unexpectedly met the other party's parents. After Ao Tang and Ao Xinyi discussed it, Ao Xinyi simply invited both the mother and daughter of the Tang family to his home for dinner together.
The incident happened suddenly, and Ao Xinyi was accompanying guests and did not have time to inform the children one by one.
At this time, everyone changed into more formal clothes and sat in the restaurant. Only Bai Qingqing suddenly appeared, covered in mud, and stared at the table of people in a daze.
Tang Hanmei looked at Bai Qingqing and was the first to laugh. She greeted her, "This must be Qingqing, right? I've always heard about her from you, but I've only seen her on TV shows before. This is the first time I've seen her in person!"
"Hello Qingqing, my last name is Tang, I'm your mother's good friend, and this is my daughter Youyou."
Bai Qingqing nodded and smiled politely: "Hello, Auntie Tang. I'm sorry, I didn't know there were guests at home today, so I came back late."
Tang Hanmei immediately waved her hands: "It's okay, it's okay. We came here unexpectedly today. I just happened to be chatting with your mother in the afternoon. It just so happened that my daughter just returned to China today and came to see me, so we came to your house to have a meal together."
Bai Qingqing glanced at the girl next to Aunt Tang, and they exchanged smiles as a greeting. Then she sat down in her seat and subconsciously looked at Bai Siqi across from her.
Is this Youyou Bai San’s blind date?
The part where she has dinner at Bai’s house isn’t in the book, right?
It seems that because of Ao Xinyi's comeback, the people who were originally mentioned briefly in the book were also affected.
Ao Xinyi said with a smile: "What do you mean you come to my house for a free meal? I'm seriously inviting you two to be my honored guests today, and I've even given you some of my precious wines from the past few years."
"Hey, I know you're sincere..."
Ao Xinyi and Tang Hanmei, two good friends, were chatting, and Zhuang You was listening attentively with a smile on his face. His eyes never glanced at Bai Siqi from beginning to end, as if he was just a guest.
[Zhuang You has no interest in Bai San.] Bai Qingqing took a sip of water.
Following these words, Bai Heyun and Bai Songxu looked at Bai Siqi at the same time.
Even Ao Xinyi, who was laughing, paused for a moment.
Seeing her daughter dressed in loose clothes, she asked familiarly, "Qingqing, did you go hiking again today?"
"Qingqing likes to climb mountains?" Tang Hanmei was a little surprised. "It's so hot to climb mountains in this weather."
Ao Xinyi: "Qingqing likes the environment in the mountains, so she wants to build a house in the mountains and raise cats and dogs. Look, she has been running to the mountains every day these days to see which mountain she likes the most."
Ao Xinyi had never known that her Qingqing had this hobby.
That is, Bai Qingqing only found out about this when she started looking for land.
If she had known this earlier, she would have prepared several mountains of land to give to her daughter as soon as she returned home.
At present, Qingqing has started to look at the mountains by herself. There is nothing much for her to help, so I will first arrange an appointment with a few internationally renowned designers for her, and prepare a few more who are good at different styles, so that she will not be unable to find anyone at the last minute.
It just so happened that she was also curious about what kind of architecture Qingqing liked.
As for purchasing things for the house, it is even easier. Just let her fourth brother do it. The fourth brother has good aesthetic taste and is best at finding furniture and other items.
In the time it took to introduce himself to Tang Hanmei in just two sentences, Ao Xinyi had already quickly imagined in his mind what it would be like to have a villa built on the mountain, with cats and dogs running around inside and outside.
At this time, Tang Hanmei asked a few more questions out of curiosity, and Ao Xinyi introduced his daughter's hobbies to her in detail.
Bai Qingqing was munching on a sizzling plate of lamb chops at the dining table while listening in silence, feeling somewhat surprised.
She said this in bits and pieces.
Ao Xinyi could now describe all of this in detail, as if he had paid attention to every word she had said and pieced together countless details, so that he could tell it to outsiders in this way.
[She is... getting to know me seriously...]
A smile appeared on Ao Xinyi's face.
【What a pity. 】
Bai Qingqing threw the lamb chop bones into the bone dish and looked at the sumptuous dishes in front of her, carefully considering what to eat next.
"Xinyi, what's wrong?" Tang Hanmei asked with concern.
"Ah, nothing." Ao Xinyi came back to his senses and said, "I was just busy chatting. Sister Mei, come and try the food tonight. Lao Bai is not here tonight, I will meet you later with him."

Bai Group.
It was pitch black at night, but the Bai Group building was brightly lit.
Li Wu and Feng Cuicui stood with their son under the Bai Group building, looking up. The three of them had dazed expressions.
Feng Cuicui couldn't help but sigh: "Wow, it's just like what was shown on TV, Lao Li. The lights in the Bai family's company building are brighter than those in our entire village."
Not only the Bai Group's building, but most of the buildings around the East City CBD center were brightly lit.
At first glance, it smells like money.
"That girl is so lucky to be born into such a family." The night in the big city is more stunning than the day. Feng Cuicui's voice became much softer and her words became more elegant.
Li Wu was still feeling annoyed, with a cigarette butt in his mouth, looking at the endless stream of cars on the wide avenue.
He never thought that his decision to take a taxi would cost him more than a hundred yuan!
More than a hundred yuan is parked on the road!
The car doesn't even move but they are still charging them money!
Feng Cuicui had lived with Li Wu for many years. She knew what he was worried about as soon as she saw his face. She comforted him, "Oh, it's okay. After we finish setting up a school for Yaoyao, we'll go find Qingqing. It's only a little over a hundred yuan. I'm sure she can give it to us!"
When Li Yao heard the 100 yuan, his eyes almost popped out of his head in shock, and he immediately said, "Mom! Ask her for 10 million! Don't be so stupid as to say a few hundred or a few thousand. It's not even enough for our round trip fare."
Li Wu felt even more depressed after hearing this. He threw away his cigarette butt and entered the group lobby again.
When passing by the security guard at the door, Li Yao's voice fell silent, until the three of them returned to the rest area and sat down, Li Wu continued:
"The Bai family is the richest family in the entire province! Ten million is just like a hundred dollars to his family. Mom, remember? It's ten million!"
Feng Cuicui smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, it's 10 million... But if Qingqing doesn't want to, I mean, she doesn't like us, then a few hundred thousand will do."
Li Yao still had to argue with his mother about how much money would be appropriate.
Li Wu rubbed his fingers that had been holding the cigarette in annoyance and said, "Okay, let's get Xiaoyao enrolled in school first. The money to support the Bai family's daughter should be paid by that couple."
Li Wu didn't seem to want to look for Bai Qingqing, and Li Yao was a little unhappy: "Dad, you weren't intimidated by Li Qingqing's attitude today, were you? She was so tough today because there were so many people around, but she ran away when she saw us, didn't she?"
"We have already discussed it at home. We will go to her in private when no one is around. When no one helps her, mom will comfort sister and I will apologize to the money-loser.
Didn't she always want a father and mother, a warm home? Now she's not doing well in the Bai family. Look at how she's dressed today. Doesn't she look like a rich person? She's not favored by her parents, so she has to find spiritual support around us. Isn't this money..."
The top level of Bai Group.
On the chairman's desk, the computer was clearly showing the surveillance footage of the company's first-floor lobby, and every word of the conversation between the three people was heard by Bai Shuting and Bai Lincheng.
The audio on the surveillance camera was turned on in the evening when the three members of the Li family entered the Bai building.
I didn't expect the sound quality to be so good.
Even the three people's voices did not compromise, and they came out extremely vividly.
"You have seen the situation in this provincial capital. If you want to stay here to study and work in the provincial capital in the future, you must go to school and study hard this time."
Li Wu skipped the topic of asking for money and frowned deeply at his son: "To be honest, we have no grudges against the Bai family. It was just a matter of taking the wrong child. The biggest problem now is that you bullied your sister and the whole country knows about it!"
Li Wu was so excited that he tapped the table with two fingers: "When we meet Bai Shuting and Ao Xinyi, you must apologize and say that you were young and ignorant and did something wrong. Do you hear me? You have to focus on this!"
"The Bai family doesn't value her...what's there to apologize for..." Li Yao said reluctantly.
"But the Bai family has to keep their dignity! You bullied the daughter of the richest man, why don't you show her some attitude?"
Feng Cuicui also advised: "Yes, yes, you have to listen to your father about this matter."
On the top floor, the two people facing the surveillance camera had a table of documents spread out in front of them and had been listening for more than an hour.
Except for the few times when Li Wu went out of the building to smoke a cigarette, I heard almost the entire conversation.
From how to meet with them, how to make a scene and create public opinion if the meeting fails, to how to talk about helping Li Yao get his school enrollment.
First find Bai Shuting and his wife, then go find Qingqing privately.
Interspersed with these were various insults to Qingqing, as if they simply didn't treat her as a human being.
The father and son wanted to go down and curse at them several times, but they also wanted to hear what nonsense they could say.
It's already eight o'clock in the evening.
The three members of the Li family have been waiting for two hours.
Uncle Yan knocked on the door and asked Bai Shuting and Bai Lincheng if they wanted to kick them out.
Bai Mincheng quickly stood up from the table: "Leave them alone! If they want to leave, go and pour them some tea. Don't say anything else."
For these three people, even if Bai Qingqing’s soul now is not his real sister, her body is still his biological sister’s.
His sister, Bai Lincheng, should have been the apple of the Bai family's eye, but she was raised in the Li family, being left to suffer as they grew up!
Bai Lincheng's emotions have always been stable, but now he is really angry.
Bai Shuting also kept silent: "If I hadn't stayed in the company to work overtime, I wouldn't have heard this."
"Send a few more people to follow Qingqing, and don't let the Li family really get in touch with her."
Hearing these words from these three people who were once Qingqing's family, her parents and her younger brother, was more heartbreaking than the cold words from the investigation.
In the surveillance video, Li Wu pressed his eyes with his palms.
Perhaps subconsciously, Li Yao immediately covered his face with his entire palm and wiped it irritably.
Bai Lincheng frowned as he looked at her, then suddenly fixed his eyes, as if he thought of something, and temporarily forgot about being angry.
Subconsciously, Bai Qingqing's wrinkled face appeared in his mind, with a slightly dazed expression.
The conversation in the surveillance video, which had been silent for a while, started again.
"This Bai family didn't even mention meeting us, but they poured tea for us. What does that mean?"
"Giving us tea means they're keeping us here!" Li Yao's stomach growled with hunger, and he kicked the chair leg irritably: "There's no one in the elevator now anyway, so we can just go up by ourselves!"
The chair was kicked with a loud bang and almost fell to the ground.
Everyone in the hall looked at him sideways.
Li Wu quickly lifted up the chair and scolded his son: "No matter how rascally you behave, we won't ask for help. Go back to the countryside and farm! Have you forgotten that your hand was broken before? If you hadn't been hanging around outside, wouldn't you have had your hand broken and you wouldn't have been able to go to school?"
He looked around and felt that it was almost nine o'clock. He couldn't wait any longer like that. He might have to find a chance to go upstairs.
He immediately stood up with his son in his arms and said sternly, "Let's go. Find a chance to go up there and apologize to me sincerely. Then you can show your pity to the Bai family with your two broken hands!"
The three people from the Li family couldn't even get through the turnstile.
But the news that the three people had been waiting for in the company all night was passed back to the main residence of the Bai family.
After Ao Xinyi sent Tang Hanmei and Youyou away, her husband and son had not returned yet. Bai Shuting was supposed to call her on the phone before going to bed at nine o'clock and let her go to bed first, but he didn't even call tonight.
When she called, she found out that the Li family came to look for Qingqing.
There were also some incidents in the mall in the afternoon.
When they were talking on the phone, Bai Qingqing happened to be nearby. She had eaten too much in the evening and was about to go out for a walk with Dadai and Erdai. Ao Xinyi tried to lower her voice to avoid her, but with her current hearing ability, it was enough to hear the voice on the other end of the phone clearly.
She kept walking and went out to the house where the two ostriches, Dadai and Erdai, lived.
The iron chains on the ground glowed coldly in the moonlight.
Bai Qingqing squatted down, grabbed the iron chain and weighed it in her hand, her brows relaxed and she smiled.
