Chapter 141 Chapter 141 The Second Son of the Bai Family, a Dead End
Coincidentally, Bai Qingqing also has excellent hearing.
I clearly heard Zhuang You and Bai Songxu talk for a long time, and finally concluded: "The person I want to marry is Bai Siqi, and I want to respect my parents-in-law, and I want to respect Uncle Bai and Aunt Ao.
You, my little brother, nobody cares about me, okay?"
Bai Qingqing couldn't help but clap her hands, and turned around to say to the two brothers of the Bai family beside her: "Big brother, fourth brother, I like this Miss Zhuang."
Not far away, Zhuang You was talking, and suddenly turned his head and smiled at her in a friendly manner.
Then he withdrew his gaze, made a "zero" gesture to Bai Songxu, smiled and left.
Bai Siqi said on the side: "You probably haven't heard Zhuang You's concert. I'll invite you to listen next time."
Bai Heyun looked at his third brother and smiled gently as usual. He took the initiative to greet Zhuang You who was walking towards him and extended his arms to him.
Third brother...does he really like Zhuang You?
If you really like it, that's fine.
Bai Heyun: "Brother, sister, I am leaving too. I have to go find a gift for my first sister-in-law."
He winked at Bai Qingqing and said, "And a gift for my dear little sister's new home."
Bai Qingqing said calmly, "I'll make a list of things you like, and you can look for similar ones."
Bai Heyun gestured "OK", thinking about her mountain villa, and asked, "Should I find you some cats and dogs to raise there? Or maybe some ostriches, peacocks, alpacas, ponies, or something like that?"
Bai Qingqing refused bluntly: "No, I don't want to raise these, Fourth Brother can just find something for me."
"I understand! Let's go." Bai Heyun waved at them.
Bai Lingcheng was a little surprised to hear Bai Qingqing's straightforward refusal: "Didn't you say before that you wanted to raise these in the mountains? Why did you change your mind?"
"I was just joking. Don't take it seriously." Bai Qingqing smiled, looking like she didn't take it seriously.
Bai Mincheng: "It's nice to have some small animals at home, it makes the house more lively. Don't you like Da Dai and Er Dai very much? You always play with them."
[Raising one yourself and playing with someone else's are not the same... I will be reluctant to let go of the person once he or she leaves. 】
[If I am gone, they are waiting for me...]
Bai Qingqing felt sad when she thought about it. She didn't dare to think about it any further, let alone the furry children at home. "How many days can I stay in that mountain? The little animals will be lonely without anyone around them."
Bai Qingqing said, and suddenly reacted. She looked at Bai Lincheng with a vigilant look: "Bai Lincheng, I noticed that you have been talking to me more recently."
"I was trying to care about my sister."
"That's right." Bai Qingqing nodded.
Ever since she told the story of Li Qingqing's tragic experience, who in the Bai family doesn't care about how she is living and whether she is happy every day?
[It’s a pity that I care about the wrong person…]
Bai Qingqing sighed deeply and waved at Bai Lincheng. When she turned around, the playful look in her eyes disappeared and turned cold.
[Anyway, the next thing is, either I leave with one strike or I stay here forever. ]
Behind her, Bai Heyun, who was still walking away, paused and turned to look at her back. As she walked away, her eyes met Bai Lincheng, who was also looking at her back.
Little sister, what did she mean just now?
Caring about the wrong person?
Either stay or leave?
What does that mean? Did he hear it wrong or...
…
What came back before Jiang Mu Ning was the wedding gift that Jiang Mu Ning gave to Bai Siqi. Inside was a heartfelt handwritten card. The first sentence of the card strongly condemned her third brother for not telling her in advance that he was going to get married.
The gifts that the Jiang family sent to the Bai family once again filled the entire marble table in the living room.
Some large items are still on the way.
Bai Siqi asked Uncle Yan and Ms. Xu to unpack all the packages and send them directly to the warehouse in categories. Bai Songxu joined in the fun and took out the handwritten letters from a pair of Ru kiln plum bottles in front of everyone.
Everyone in the living room was stunned.
Bai Qingqing was lying on the sofa in the other side of the hall, chewing beef jerky and looking at the noisy scene. Her eyes stopped on the light yellow envelope that Bai Songxu was holding high, and she suddenly smiled.
[What does Jiang Mu Ning mean? ]
Bai Siqi clenched his fists at his sides, staring at the pale yellow envelope in Bai Songxu's hand, and said to Bai Songxu sternly: "Bai Songxu, give it to me."
"Take it back to your room if I give it to you. Third brother, open it now and let us see it together!" Bai Songxu was frightened by Bai Siqi's tone, but he was even more curious and stood on the sofa with his hands raised high.
Ao Xinyi rushed out from the other side of the flower hall and ran straight to Bai Songxu, his face stern: "Bai Songxu! Come down! Return the letter to your third brother!"
"Mom..." Bai Songxu said softly and retracted his hand downwards.
Just as he was about to say something, his hands suddenly felt empty. He turned around and saw Bai Heyun taking the envelope from him, shaking it in his hand, and patting him on the forehead: "Come down."
Bai Heyun looked at the small dried flower pasted on the envelope, which exuded a faint fragrance, with an ambiguous look in his eyes.
Just as he was about to hand the envelope back to Bai Siqi, he saw Ao Xinyi hurriedly approaching and snatched the letter from his hand.
Ao Xinyi: "This is your third brother's wedding gift. What are you guys doing here? The third brother is getting married! You guys..."
Bai Songxu didn't know why Bai Siqi and Ao Xinyi were angry. He got down from the sofa aggrievedly, muttering, "The only one who can get married here is my eldest brother. He's already 28 years old, and my second brother is not at home. My fourth brother..."
Bai Heyun patted his head again.
Bai Songxu was scolded, and now no one dared to talk back, so he snorted, "Anyway, I haven't graduated yet, so I can't get married."
Ao Xinyi was so angry at his youngest son that his head was swelling.
I wrinkled the letter in my hand and felt my heart tighten.
Bai Lincheng said, "Alright, you guys can go away. Uncle Yan, Ms. Xu, please send these directly to the warehouse for inventory. If there are any more things from the Jiang family, put them directly into the warehouse."
After the eldest brother spoke, the noisy place suddenly became quiet.
If Bai Songxu had a tail, he would have tucked it between his legs and let it hang low to the ground, turning around and ready to leave.
Bai Qingqing was on the sofa, opening another bag of beef jerky and chewing it, still in high spirits. Suddenly, she met Bai Lincheng's gaze and subconsciously lay down a little flatter.
After I lay down flat, I looked at the ceiling and felt something was wrong.
What does it have to do with her?
What is she hiding from?
Bai Qingqing frowned, then sat up a little higher with the beef jerky in her mouth, swinging her feet in a good mood.
Uncle Yan and Ms. Xu ordered people to move the gifts on the table.
Bai Songxu, who had just turned around and was about to leave, turned back again with his tail between his legs. He cautiously approached Ao Xinyi, whose face was stern, and asked fearlessly, "Mom, my third brother is getting married. Will my second brother... come back?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned it before, as he was used to his second brother not being home all year round. But when he suddenly mentioned it just now, he missed his second brother a little bit...
Haven't seen you for over a year.
The second brother has never called him once. Is it because he has too many younger brothers that he has forgotten that he exists?
Ao Xinyi's eyes were red again, and he felt upset: "I think so. I'll ask him later."
Bai Lincheng looked at Bai Qingqing not far away without leaving a trace.
The second brother was not at home, and Bai Qingqing had never met him, so she had never heard about his ending in her heart.
All of them ended up so tragically. Since the second brother was not at home and had little connection with the family and Jiang Mu Ning, could the second brother be safe and escape the so-called plot safely?
No... In a novel, everyone's appearance is necessary.
Especially the second brother is the direct descendant of the Bai family and the second child in the family.
If he were the author, he would not waste this identity and would definitely keep it useful.
Even if my second brother is physically located abroad and has not been home for many years, as long as he is still in this world, he cannot escape the fate that has been arranged for him.
I have to find a time to test Bai Qingqing as soon as possible.
In a flash, Bai Lincheng thought quickly, made a decision, and withdrew his gaze from Bai Qingqing.
Ao Xinyi took the letter and waited for Bai Heyun to push Bai Songxu away, then whispered to Bai Siqi, "Come with me."
The living room that was full of people just now was suddenly empty.
Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, Bai Qingqing turned over on the sofa and changed to a more comfortable position to lie down. While eating beef jerky, she calmed her mind, released her spiritual power, and listened carefully to the thousands of faint sounds coming to her ears from all over the world.
"Sister Qing, please bless me and I will definitely pass the exam this time!"
"God Qing, please give me the SSSR. I really want Gu Lan!"
"Please, it must be benign, and the test results must be good!"
"Please help me get through this crisis safely... I really... don't have the energy to hold on any longer..."
Bai Qingqing concentrated her mind as thousands of tiny images rushed before her eyes. She focused her thoughts and looked at them one by one. Her lips moved silently and her spiritual power emanated.
After a while, Aunt Qiao passed by the living room and saw Bai Qingqing asleep. She asked the servant to bring a thin blanket, turned up the air conditioner temperature, and put the beef jerky in her hand on the coffee table in front.
The other side.
Ao Xinyi and Bai Siqi stood in the warehouse, watching the gifts sent by Jiang Mu Ning being unpacked one by one. Some were placed in the warehouse, while others needed to be placed in a special treasure room for preservation at a constant temperature and humidity.
After all the delivered items were counted and all the workers in the house had left, Ao Xinyi returned the letter to Bai Siqi.
He asked solemnly: "Siqi, tell me the truth, do you really like Zhuang You?"
"It's not too late now. If you don't like her, don't waste her time. Do you understand what I mean?"
Bai Siqi didn't react when he heard this.
But when he met Ao Xinyi's obviously meaningful gaze, he was startled and his eyes trembled.
Bai Siqi held his breath for a moment.
Ao Xinyi's heart was also trembling, and he made his words more clear: "I know that you packed all the paintings in your room and sent them to the basement yesterday."
The envelope that she had held for a while had wrinkles on its surface. One could imagine how much strength the person who had held it had used, and could also guess what the other person's mood was.
In an instant, Bai Siqi felt that all his disguises had been shattered and he was exposed in front of his mother.
She...really understands.
When did my mother know...
Bai Siqi gritted her teeth, not daring to look into Ao Xinyi's eyes under her burning gaze. Facing her mother's question, she could only answer, "Zhuang You knows that I have someone I like, and she doesn't mind..."
"She doesn't mind?" Ao Xinyi was about to laugh out of anger when she saw her third son's honest expression. It seemed that only from this moment on she began to see her son clearly, seeing a side of him that she had never seen before.
"What about you? How long do you think it will take for you to fall in love with her? What will you do if you never fall in love with her?"
"I... will try my best." Bai Siqi answered slowly, speeding up his speech: "Even if I can't fall in love with her, I will fulfill my duties as a husband and be loyal to my marriage.
Besides, you arranged a blind date for me, didn't you want me to get married?"
"I hope you can look at other girls more, stop being trapped in your own world all day, cultivate feelings with others, and get married based on emotional foundation!" Ao Xinyi roared.
"...You are too irresponsible to yourselves." Ao Xinyi felt sad.
His beloved son has grown up, but his marriage is in this situation for the rest of his life.
"Do you know what it feels like to be married to someone who doesn't love you?"
"She may not care at first, but if she spends her days and nights with someone who doesn't fall in love with her, even if she has high expectations of you, it will only turn into disappointment in the end, and she will start comparing you with the person in her heart everywhere."
Bai Siqi remained silent, taking every word his mother said into his heart.
"Yes, you are both young and fearless about your future. I can see that Xiaoyou likes you very much. She is also straightforward and brave. I understand her desire to fight for it."
"It's just that marriage is different. I suggest that you two think carefully about getting married. If you're willing to give Xiaoyou a chance to fight for you, you must also give her ample freedom to leave."
After all, the child is an adult, and Zhuang You is also an adult. Ao Xinyi couldn't say much, especially to Zhuang You, so he could only scold his son.
Her last look fell on the yellow envelope in Bai Siqi's hand: "Mu Ning and Ji Ke have been engaged since childhood. Last time I saw them, they both seemed to be interested in each other. I think good things are coming soon. Don't be confused."
After Ao Xinyi finished speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for his son.
Bai Siqi stayed where he was, looking at the dead objects in the room. The shelf in front of him was filled with gifts that Mu Ning had sent back.
He opened the envelope in his hand and unfolded the letter.
The little white flower stuck on the seal fell to the ground and was silently blown away by the wind.
He looked at the letter, but his eyes were not focused on the beautiful small handwriting. He answered his mother's last sentence in his heart.
"I just don't want to be confused anymore... I want to decide my own life."
Instead of being at the mercy of fate and being controlled by others.
He hoped that Zhuang You could really be like a fire, burning his predetermined fate and giving him another possibility.
Become, his salvation.
*
The internal purge of the Bai Group was coming to an end. Bai Lincheng removed a bunch of people with lightning speed and established himself in the company.
The handover between the old and new generations was completed invisibly during this purge.
Bai Shuting officially took his place behind the scenes and handed over the empire built by three generations of the Bai Group to the young leader of the fourth generation.
At the celebration banquet in the evening, Bai Lincheng attended and made a brief appearance at the beginning, but left early to go home. He found Bai Qingqing riding her Dadai for a walk in the side garden.
It's getting late.
The shadows of the man and the ostrich stretched out on the ground.
Bai Lincheng watched for a while and asked the question he had wanted to ask for a long time: "You go out for a walk after dinner every day to help digest your food. Is it you who is doing the digestion, or is it the dog?"
"Me."
Bai Qingqing had known that he was watching from the side, and originally thought that he would just take a look and leave, but she didn't expect him to even start a conversation.
"They went to bed as soon as they got home. I might have a midnight snack after I get back."
Bai Qingqing said, thinking for a moment, and cautiously patted her belly, adding: "Don't look at me sitting, my core is exerting force the whole time."
Bai Mincheng: "..."
"Brother, you never come to my temple for no reason. What's the matter today that you specially come to the garden to look for me?"
Bai Qingqing was riding an ostrich for a walk without stopping. Bai Lincheng followed her and walked forward. He took out a small card and handed it to her.
Bai Qingqing stretched her head to look at it in the moonlight, and found that it was her own business card. She smiled and said, "I have an appointment for something. It's time to get off work now."
"If you have connections, find me. Why bother making an appointment? I'll just pay a little more." Bai Lincheng also smiled, looking at Bai Qingqing's eyes that lit up, and put the business card back into the business card holder.
Bai Qingqing: "What's the matter? Tell me."
Bai Lingcheng started at zero frame and went straight to the point: "I recently dreamed of Siming, your second brother, Bai Siming. The dream was not very good, so I asked you to interpret it."
【Bai Siming? 】
The voice of his heart echoed in the empty and quiet night. Bai Lincheng raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, pretending that he heard nothing, his expression unchanged.
[Is it time for him to appear? ]
Bai Qingqing: "What did you dream about?"
"I forgot it when I woke up, but I was still thinking about it." Bai Lingcheng answered without hesitation, and asked her: "Why, if you can't remember the dream, you can't interpret it?"
“…No.”
[Bai Siming is a drug enforcement police officer who carries out missions all over the world all year round. His job is dangerous, and injuries are commonplace. He has even been on the verge of death many times. If the Bai family has some bad dreams because of him, it is normal for them to have some telepathy.]
[It’s just that Bai Siming is the second brother of this body by blood. If you calculate directly, you really can’t figure out anything…]
[Anyway, his final fate was that Jiang Mu Ning revealed his identity to the drug lord and turned him into a human pig. At this point in time, Jiang Mu Ning had not yet gone abroad, had not met any foreign prince who gave her a diamond mine, and had not encountered a big drug lord.]
[Before this, Bai Siming would definitely not die. ]
Bai Qingqing thought about it and suddenly said, "Please tell me a word."
…
She said something but got no response. Bai Qingqing turned around and found that Bai Lincheng had stopped a few steps away from her. She didn't know when he stopped.
His face was so cold that it seemed as if it could chisel through the night.
Bai Qingqing was stunned: [What's wrong with him? ]
She patted Dadai's slender neck and commanded the ostrich to retreat. When the two birds turned back to Bai Lincheng, he seemed still unaware.
Bai Qingqing leaned in closer to look at his face, then waved her hand in front of his eyes, "Is the system frozen?"
She flipped over and jumped off the ostrich's back, landing in front of Bai Lincheng. As soon as she stood firm and was about to poke Bai Lincheng a few more times, he suddenly grabbed her wrist tightly: "What?"
"The word I want to test is '何', and people can be '何'."
"You're so absorbed in just thinking of a word..." Bai Qingqing's wrist was a little painful from being grabbed by him. She muttered to herself as she pulled her wrist out of his grasp. She always felt that Bai Lincheng's mood was a little off.
She subconsciously deciphered the words in her mind.
[The character "何" is a single person with a "可" character on the side, which means that human power can do something. Bai Lincheng is seeking peace, which is Bai Er's current state. The person is on the left, and the "可" on the right can be split into "丁" and "口". Ding is like a sharp hanging knife covering the "口", and the "口" shows an appearance of being surrounded. Bai Siming is in danger, it is a trap, and someone is luring him into the game. ]
[The person is beside him, and he has not fallen into it yet, but he can take the final step. What is Bai Siming doing now? If he takes another step forward, it will be a trap. ]
She thought that the external situation she felt was not good, and felt that Bai Siming might be in more than an ordinary danger, but since it was not as dangerous as the one involving Jiang Mu Ning and the drug lord, his life should not be in danger.
[It’s not time for Bai Siming to die yet, he shouldn’t…]
She bent her fingers and raised her fingertips subconsciously.
[Ding belongs to metal, and metal is murderous. Humans belong to wood and are suppressed by metal. This corresponds to the situation just now. The judgment should be correct. The opponent has sufficient firepower and is aggressive. They led the person into their mouth and didn't expect him to get out alive. The mouth belongs to earth and drains metal. The place where Bai Er is trapped is a place of death, but also a place of life.]
[No, not necessarily. If the mouth is not a trap prepared by the other party, but a temporary shelter that Bai Siming found for himself, He Tonghe, the water and soil will be flooded with gold, and there is a glimmer of hope. ]
[From the perspective of the direction, the entrance is in the lower right corner, the dilemma is in the southwest area, and the dark water is in the north. As long as external aid arrives in time, you can break in from the north side, or get out by leaning against the river...]
[People can stand on both sides. Since Bai Siming's unilateral forces will fall into a trap and be surrounded by the other side, it is obvious that he cannot resist the dilemma. In addition to referring to Bai Siming, the word "people" has other interpretations. ]
[This person is a foreign aid... is...]
【I. 】
Bai Lincheng listened to the whole thing nearby and didn't dare to make a sound, as he didn't want to disturb her thoughts.
Dadai and Erdai stomped their feet impatiently beside them, making a sound of crackling grass.
Bai Lincheng was afraid that the tiny sound would interrupt her, so he reached out to comfort the ostrich.
When her thoughts quickly passed and finally settled, Bai Qingqing looked up at him and smiled: "Brother, your dream came at a very timely moment. Can you contact my second brother now?"
Bai Lingcheng nodded: "It must be possible to contact."
Siming is currently on a mission. If it is true as Qingqing said in her heart, the operation has already begun, and we may not be able to contact him at this time.
But he will try his best...
Bai Yancheng's eyes were stern. Bai Qingqing noticed his serious look and smiled at him. She took out her cell phone and dialed the number directly. While waiting for the number to be called, she pointed at the phone and said:
"Brother, I'll give you a lot of money for this divination!"
