Chapter 160 Chapter 160 (Two in One) Bai Shuting is crazy...
It’s three o’clock in the night.
Bai Qingqing would definitely not stay up late at night to accompany Jiang Mu Ning in crying. Seeing that she was crying well by herself, she stayed for a few minutes and then left.
Just said something before leaving.
If her eyes are not swollen tomorrow morning, she will do today's work again tomorrow night until she has finished it properly.
Jiang Muning watched her leave his room, tears streaming down his face. He was afraid that Bai Qingqing had many evil tricks up her sleeve and that she would know if he had cried enough and would do it again tomorrow night.
I lay in bed for a while, trying hard to recall my sad memories.
In her perfect life, there were not many things worth being sad about, but whenever she thought of her two children in her previous life, Jiang Muning couldn't help but feel really sad.
At first I just wanted to cry, but the more I thought about it, the sadder I became.
I turned sideways, hugged the quilt, and curled up into a ball, crying until I was dizzy and trembling because of the completely opposite experience in my new life.
The suppressed sobbing sound echoed in the huge room until dawn...
*
The next morning.
Jiang Muning endured his sleepiness and fatigue and appeared in front of everyone with two big walnut eyes.
It was obvious that she had been crying for most of the night, which made everyone in the Bai family nervous and they all gathered around her to watch.
Ao Binghong and Yu Xiulan felt extremely distressed. Seeing that she looked like she was about to cry, they hugged her in their arms and comforted her without thinking twice. Then they asked her what had happened and why she was crying like that.
"I want you to look at me and say it's okay tomorrow when someone asks you what happened."
"You know what I mean? You should be good at this."
In the morning, Bai Qingqing came to check if her eyes were swollen from crying. The words she said to her after the examination echoed in her mind.
Jiang Muning hesitated as he looked up at Bai Qingqing, who was lying on the sofa and yawning outside the crowd.
She was really good at this.
But she didn't understand why Bai Qingqing wanted her to do this, and what benefits it would bring to her.
Ao Binghong and Yu Xiulan followed Jiang Mu Ning's line of sight and turned to look at Bai Qingqing. Both of them were silent.
There was a brief silence in the air.
Bai Qingqing felt seven or eight pairs of eyes falling on her. She quickly retracted a yawn, sat down on the sofa, and faced everyone's gaze.
Yu Xiulan: "Qingqing, didn't you sleep well?"
Ao Binghong: "Humph, it's obvious that this young man stayed up late!"
Yu Xiulan: "Qingqing, if you haven't slept enough, go back to your room and sleep for a while. Your leg is broken, and your bones need to be nourished by sleep. How can you not get enough sleep?"
Jiang Muning: "..."
Bai Qingqing ignored Jiang Mu Ning's resentful look, stretched herself and stood up from the sofa: "...Grandma is right, I'll go to sleep for a while."
Jiang Muning: "..."
As Bai Qingqing turned and left, everyone turned their attention back to Jiang Mu Ning and continued to ask her why she cried so hard last night.
Jiang Muning twitched the corners of his lips, becoming even more certain that he wouldn't be able to gain much favor from the Bai family.
Bai Qingqing urged her to leave early in the morning. The time had to be early but not to arouse suspicion, so it had to be after breakfast at the latest. This was something that both she and Bai Qingqing had agreed on.
She still has two hours left, and can still gain some favor with Ao Binghong and Yu Xiulan.
"The people in Beijing asked me last night when I would be returning. I will be leaving soon. Grandpa and grandma, I can't bear to leave you... I just saw you last night, wuwuwu..."
It seemed that she cried too much at night. Her head hurt from crying so much that she felt dizzy even if she didn't move or talk. If Bai Qingqing hadn't knocked on her door early in the morning, she would have been so exhausted that she couldn't get out of bed at all.
But maybe it's the aftereffect, now I can't seem to hold back my tears, they flow out at any time, my head hurts even more when I cry, and I can't stop even if I want to.
"Good girl, we won't leave. Then we won't leave." Yu Xiulan quickly hugged her and coaxed her, patting Jiang Mu Ning's back.
Ao Binghong's eyes widened, and he immediately took out his cell phone in anger: "I'll call the Jiang family. You are our precious granddaughter who has been raised by our Ao and Bai families for 18 years. This is what we should do in our family. How can you let us go right after we just came here and not even let us stay for a day!"
Ao Binghong was halfway through dialing the phone when Jiang Muning, with tears in her eyes, quickly and gently pushed Yu Xiulan away, held Ao Binghong's hand, looked into his angry red eyes, and felt a little relieved.
Ao Binghong and Yu Xiulan seem to have a chance.
But she had to leave. If she stayed today, who knew if Bai Qingqing would squat at the head of her bed like a madman in the middle of the night and put a knife to her neck.
Otherwise, staying in the Bai family would actually be a safer choice.
But she really didn't want to go through what happened last night again, so she quickly found Bai Siming and activated the system. The safest way was to kill Bai Qingqing without meeting her...
"Grandpa, it's because I decided to go abroad, and my parents said they wanted to see me more before I go..." Jiang Muning burst into tears.
Yu Xiulan wiped her tears distressedly and said repeatedly: "My dear, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry. If you cry, you will not be beautiful anymore..."
Jiang Mu Ning: "They are also parents. I... can understand their feelings, but I really can't bear to leave you..."
As she spoke, she seemed to be filled with sadness again and began to sob.
The two old men surrounded Jiang Mu Ning and cried together. Ao Xinyi and Bai Shuting were unable to help.
Bai Lincheng and Bai Siqi watched from the side with frowns, their solemn and puzzled expressions were almost exactly the same.
Amid the three people's crying and struggling, Bai Siqi couldn't help but whisper to Ao Xinyi: "What's the situation now...Grandpa and grandma don't believe those things?"
"I believe it." Ao Xinyi looked at the three people in front of him indifferently.
The three of them were crying while hugging each other. Someone turned around and looked at her first. Ao Xinyi hadn't heard the content of their crying just now, but when she saw them looking at her, she guessed that someone had mentioned her.
Ao Xinyi's eyes suddenly turned red, and with a look of reluctance, he reached out and walked among them, touching Jiang Mu Ning's face: "It's okay, Mom can understand how reluctant they are..."
Bai Siqi: “…”
Got it.
The crying was sobbing, and the farewell came to an end. A group of people dispersed to the restaurant to have their last breakfast.
Bai Siqi's eyelids were red, and her greedy and reluctant gaze lingered on Jiang Muning, as if she was saying goodbye to her past self.
"Third brother..."
Bai Siqi looked away.
Bai Lincheng stepped forward, still as calm as an iceberg, and patted Jiang Muning on the shoulder: "If you need any help, call me."
Jiang Muning hugged him reluctantly.
Halfway through breakfast, Bai Songxu, a poor householder, got up and wandered into the dining room like a ghost with his messy hair. Standing at the corner of the table, he took the water handed to him by the servant and drank a glass of warm water with his head tilted back.
When he regained some clarity of mind, he looked at the people at the table and felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. He then saw Jiang Muning's eyes, which were swollen like walnuts, and shouted, "Jiang Muning, were you beaten up last night?"
Jiang Muning: "..."
Ao Xinyi: "Ningning will be returning to Beijing after breakfast. In a few days... she will be going abroad."
She frowned when she said this, "Ningning, everyone is reluctant to let you go, are you really determined to stay away for so long?"
Jiang Muning paused, choked up and nodded. When he opened his mouth, he could hardly speak because he had been crying for too long. He said to Bai Songxu in a hoarse voice, "I will be gone for one or two years."
Bai Songxu's sleepy eyes widened, and the corners of his lips subconsciously raised, grinning and saying, "Really?!"
That’s great!
Now that Jiang Lianhua is gone, will their home be peaceful?
Would those tragic endings that Bai Qingqing had imagined in her mind never happen?
The moment he realized what he was thinking, Bai Songxu's face fell, and the bitterness and sadness in his heart surged into his heart like a tide.
He and Mu Ning...how did it become like this?
They were best friends and had once been the closest buddies. Mu Ning had done a lot of bad things to his mother, second brother, and third brother, but he had never done anything to him.
They were best playmates when they were young. When he was in junior high school and determined to become a singer and was least confident, it was Jiang Muning who went on stage to sing the songs he wrote for everyone and became his most loyal listener.
Although it didn't happen in real life, Ning Ning found out the reason why he lost his voice on stage, clarified it online, and helped him get over it...
Bai Qingqing said in her heart that he would use despicable means to obtain resources for Ningning in the future, would disfigure himself to block sulfuric acid for Ningning, would keep silent forever out of self-blame and atonement, and become a mute volunteer.
He thought, he could really do these things...
If Jiang Mu Ning had not done those things to his parents and brothers, he would be willing to do these things for the best companion in his life.
Regardless of whether she is his biological sister or not.
Bai Songxu is the most loyal.
But she just...those were obviously her parents and brothers, but she just betrayed everyone.
Ao Xinyi was just about to remind his stupid little son to put away his big teeth to avoid Jiang Mu Ning's suspicion, but the next second he saw him grinning with his big white teeth and starting to cry.
His whole body collapsed like a deflated balloon, and he walked to his breakfast seat with his heavy hands hanging down.
I held back my tears all the way, not crying out loud.
He and Jiang Muning have a good relationship and are of similar age, so they sit next to each other every day.
Bai Songxu walked to the chair, saw Jiang Mu Ning's face, and burst into tears, whimpering in his mouth and tears streaming down his face.
His sister is the best girl in the world.
How did it turn out like this? How did they get to this point? He and Jiang Mu Ning... from now on, they are two different people and can never go back to the way they were before.
“Wuwuwuwuwu…”
Bai Songxu cried so sincerely that Ao Xinyi silently kept his voice back and continued to eat his breakfast with his bowl.
After the meal, except for Bai Qingqing, the entire Bai family gathered in front of the car to see Jiang Muning off.
Ao Binghong and Yu Xiulan shed tears of true emotion and sent Jiang Muning to the car.
After the car drove away from them and could no longer be seen, the two old men sighed as if they were relieved.
Ao Binghong: "Finally he left."
Yu Xiulan: "If she doesn't leave, I'll choke her to death with salt!"
The whole family retracted their reluctant expressions. Bai Songxu wiped his tears with his sleeves, and after he put his arms down, new tears were about to flow out.
Hearing the two old men say this, Bai Songxu was about to wipe his tears but paused: "...you..."
Ao Xinyi realized what his youngest son was going to say and clenched his teeth.
Bai Lingcheng comforted his mother: "It's okay, children are young and have to suffer more. It will be fine if they remember it."
Bai Siqi also comforted her: "Xiao Wu and Jiang Mu Ning have the best relationship, so it's inevitable that she will be sad."
Bai Songxu was the only one in the family crying sincerely. Ao Xinyi sighed, but still couldn't get angry enough, so he reached out and patted his head: "Stop crying."
Ao Binghong protected him: "Just educate the child well, why do you have to use force? It will only make your head stupid."
Ao Binghong and Yu Xiulan have doted on their only granddaughter Jiang Mu Ning since she was a child. Bai Songxu, who is only two years older than her, is inseparable from Jiang Mu Ning all the time. Among the five grandchildren, he has become the most special one and is often pampered by the two old people.
His temper is exactly the same as Ao Binghong's.
Ao Xinyi somehow thought of Bai Qingqing's complaints. She had said in her mind that Ao Binghong was the old Bai Songxu, and she saw that it was true!
She said angrily, "Just spoil it!" and turned back to the house.
*
Jiang Muning's departure date was scheduled for three days later.
Everyone in the Bai family group received the plane tickets sent by Jiang Mu Ning.
Bai Qingqing almost never spoke in the group, but after seeing the message this time, she replied with a "1" for the first time.
Beijing City.
Jiang Muning didn't have a system right now, so he was a little scared of Bai Qingqing. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her reply in the group, thinking that she must have seen the flight information.
All that’s left is to comfort the family members.
Although she did not choose the acting department in her previous life, she did not leave the entertainment industry and had been filming. In her junior year, a movie "Bai Shui Zhou" starring her was released. She was noticed by the internationally renowned director Eric, who invited her to star in his own movie.
Although Nie Wanqing didn't like her career as an actress, it didn't stop her from having such a good opportunity. She successfully went abroad for two years, and thus entered the international field of vision, and was pursued vigorously by a young and handsome prince.
It's ridiculous that in her previous life, Bai Qingqing said that she still kept in touch with Bai Shuting and Ao Xinyi just for the little fortune of the richest man in East Province. But at that time, the prince gave her two huge diamond mines just to have dinner with her.
It’s just that “Baishuizhou” hasn’t been filmed yet, and Director Ai doesn’t know her.
It was September when school started, and she wanted to go abroad at this time, and take Ji Ke with her... It was really difficult to convince her family to let her go abroad for a long time during this period.
It's just that it takes time for her to gain the favor of Bai Siming and Bai You...
Jiang Muning sighed, and saw in the group message that Bai Qingqing had not sent any other messages. He put away his phone, thought for a while, and decided to find Jiang Jin first and ask him to inquire about Bai Siming's recent situation.
…
East Market, Bai Family.
The moment Bai Qingqing saw the plane ticket, she sent a message to Ao Xinyi and agreed to go abroad.
When Ao Xinyi saw the news, he couldn't sit still for a moment. He happily pulled Bai Shuting directly to the room to find her.
"Qingqing, have you made up your mind? Which school do you plan to go to? What major do you want to study? Is there anything you want to bring abroad? Mom will prepare whatever you want."
"No, I'm not going to study. I plan to travel and have fun." Bai Qingqing smiled, with no intention of going to school again in the world of novels.
She completed her graduate studies in her own world.
If everything goes well, she will leave immediately. If not, she will take the little world with her to play. Anyway, she doesn't want to study any more all day.
"Okay, traveling is also great!" Ao Xinyi was very happy. She thought that she and Lao Yan had gone to take visa photos, but he had not yet told her the definite decision to go abroad. He was still struggling between studying and traveling.
"It's a good opportunity to get familiar with the environment and life abroad first, and then consider other things after you adapt."
Ao Xinyi followed her and sat on the sofa, smiling gently, "Which country do you want to visit? Since it's a trip, why not visit more than one place? Stay in each place for a few months, so that you can compare and know which one you like best."
Bai Qingqing didn't care about this matter. She was just going abroad with Jiang Mu Ning. Hearing this, she smiled and nodded: "That's exactly what I meant."
Ao Xinyi had already prepared houses for Bai Qingqing in various countries when he was planning to let her go abroad. Now, the various residences have been almost staffed. Everything is ready, and all that is missing is Bai Qingqing's nod.
"When do you plan to leave?"
"Let's go for the 3rd." Jiang Mu Ning's flight was for three days later, so she would stay one day later. She wanted to see Jiang Mu Ning go abroad first.
"Oh, the time is a bit tight. It doesn't matter. Let mom and dad take care of everything." Ao Xinyi felt nervous as he looked at Bai Qingqing's calm expression as she spoke of number three, which would be four days later.
Although she hoped that Qingqing would pass away as soon as possible, she still couldn't bear to let her go when the day finally came.
There was nothing to say at this moment. Ao Xinyi leaned over and hugged his daughter. After a pause, he quickly let go and walked out of her room with a smile.
*
On September 2, Jiang Muning went abroad.
On September 3, Bai Qingqing also came to the airport with a suitcase in hand, dressed simply, and surrounded by a group of people from the Bai family.
A faint sadness of parting lingered between the few people.
Ao Binghong and Yu Xiulan spent five days with their granddaughter and doted on her.
They had wanted to make up for what they had missed in the past few years in just a few days, but now those missed opportunities had turned into a strong bond, leaving the two old men with red eyes, reluctant to leave Bai Qingqing.
Ao Xinyi, Bai Shuting, Bai Lincheng and others had already prepared themselves mentally in advance. They had said everything they needed to say and said goodbye in the past few days. Their emotions had eased a little.
The only thing that made Ao Xinyi sad was that among his children, Qingqing had never met her second brother...
I suddenly received a call from Siming last night, saying that he had finished his work and started his vacation. He could return to China during this vacation, but it would take a few days to go through the procedures.
Ao Xinyi was happy and sad at the same time. He was sad that Siming had finally come back, but Qingqing was leaving.
The brother and sister never met each other.
At this time, Ao Xinyi did not mention Bai Siming. He just skimmed over the past few days of exhorting Bai Qingqing. Finally, he took her hand and said, "It's not like home abroad. Although there are people taking care of you, you still have to rely on yourself for everything... Dad, Mom, and brothers are far away. They can't help you in time if you have any problems. You have to solve them on your own."
"Go out more often when you are abroad, don't stay at home and sleep all day, make more friends, and do things you like."
"Mom and Dad know you're very capable, but guns aren't banned outside, and it's still different from metaphysics. Don't go to dangerous places, okay?"
Bai Qingqing is very independent in her own world. She follows her master around the country to do feng shui for people and handle various cases independently.
Li Qingqing is even more independent. In the past seventeen years, she has had no one around her.
This huge family has been just a passing visitor in their lives so far, and there is no question of them being dependent on them.
Bai Qingqing accepted it very well and nodded, smiling to show that she understood.
As soon as these words came out, Bai Songxu felt something was wrong. When the mother and daughter looked at each other affectionately, he suddenly asked, "Bai Qingqing, are you going to be gone for a long time?"
We set out together for no apparent reason this morning.
He followed the large group to the airport for unknown reasons. When he saw the bodyguard put the white suitcase next to Bai Qingqing, he realized that she was going abroad.
Now from what Ao Xinyi said, Bai Qingqing is not only going abroad, but will be away for a long time?
"Bai Qingqing, do you want to immigrate?"
Bai Qingqing: “…”
Everyone: “…”
The atmosphere of reluctant farewell was interrupted, and everyone looked at Bai Songxu in silence.
Bai Songxu felt that their eyes were very familiar. They all looked at him as if he was a fool. He shouted unhappily: "No, no one told me!"
"Why are you all looking at me like that?! I didn't even know what was going on when I followed you guys!"
Ao Xinyi recalled that he had been busy preparing things for Qingqing and preparing plans to deal with the Jiang and Ji families, and he really hadn't taken care of his youngest son.
She thought everyone knew it.
Ao Xinyi retracted his gaze towards Bai Qingqing and continued, "I have hired a shooting coach for you. Practicing with a gun is a bit hard, but it is a self-defense technique after all, so you must persist in learning it."
Bai Shuting silently interjected: "There are still bodyguards, don't get rid of them again."
Bai Qingqing nodded vigorously, not quite understanding how Ao Xinyi and Bai Shuting could think of so many things to remind her of.
Ao Binghong and Yu Xiulan had red eyes and wanted to speak too.
It was a pity that when he met Bai Qingqing's cold gaze, he fell silent.
Qingqing was annoyed by the fact that they kept repeating the same thing over and over again.
But the daughter and son-in-law had arranged all the important matters and given them detailed instructions. All that was left for the two old people was to take care of their health and eat well.
Yu Xiulan: "Qingqing, call home when you get there to let them know you're safe."
Ao Binghong: "Have a nice trip."
The plane soared into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.
A group of people stayed in silence in the VIP room for a while. Finally, Ao Xinyi turned around and said to her husband, "Let's start."
Bai Shuting nodded and dialed the phone.
While Ao Xinyi was on the phone, he asked Bai Siqi, "Has Xiaoyou still not changed her mind about you? Is she really planning to marry you like this?"
Bai Siqi hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Ao Xinyi: "What about you, how do you feel about Xiaoyou now?"
"I..." Bai Siqi opened her mouth. A lot of things have happened recently. The days have changed drastically compared to the past, and the people around her come and go differently.
He was now certain of one thing, that he no longer had that kind of feeling for Jiang Mu Ning.
Seeing that he didn’t answer immediately, Ao Xinyi glanced at her husband who was still on the phone, and said to Bai Siqi, “I don’t care about you, just remember what you promised, you will be loyal to your marriage.
You ask Xiaoyou to have lunch alone outside at noon today to confirm her intention. If she still decides to marry you, then you should get the marriage certificate as soon as possible and you can open a new account yourself."
"Xiaoyou lived in Berlin before. After marriage, you will follow Xiaoyou to Berlin."
It's still early now, and she still has time to go to the Zhuang family and talk to Lao Zhuang and Tang Hanmei about the situation of the Bai family.
Although the Bai family will eventually fall, the Ao family will be in a much better situation. If they make preparations in advance, the Ao family and the Zhuang family in the future should not be too different...
It depends on whether the banker is still willing to enter into this marriage.
Bai Siqi narrowed his eyes slightly, somewhat surprised by Ao Xinyi's urging. They had just sent Bai Qingqing away, and his mother was so impatient for him to leave, and even wanted him to go to Berlin...
"What are you and Dad going to do?" Bai Siqi asked vigilantly.
"It's getting late. I'll make an appointment with your Aunt Tang now." Ao Xinyi did not answer. He just smiled at his son and called Tang Hanmei.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
When people are most drowsy during the day, several pieces of social news quietly become hot searches and are widely forwarded.
The account that forwarded the message was not very clean. A quick check revealed that it was a studio account. When Jiang Jin received the message for the first time, the four words "Dongshi Baijia" were reported.
The Jiang family’s businesses span all walks of life.
The hot searches today are all about things that require some time to investigate and collect evidence, ranging from corruption among senior executives of a subsidiary of their group, to substandard raw material supply in the factory, worker safety accidents and dozens of labor disputes, and even the academic fraud of a doctoral student in Nie Wanqing's laboratory were investigated and exposed.
Which business has not encountered some of these problems? They are exposed sporadically in normal times, and then handled by the group's legal and public relations departments, and then disappear without causing any waves.
Now that they were released in such a concentrated manner and intentionally guided, the public's attention was quickly drawn to the Jiang Group behind them.
But Jiang Jin really couldn't understand why it was Bai Shuting? !
They were friends decades ago, and decades later, because of Mu Ning, they interacted more often than before, and their friendship was even stronger than before.
This doesn't make sense!
Jiang Jin thought about it, and considering his relationship with Jiang Mu Ning, he decided to call Bai Shuting first to find out if there was any misunderstanding.
But before he could make the call, three entries about Jiang Mu Ning rushed to the top three hot searches.
#Jiang Muning was reported to have insufficient attendance in high school but still received a diploma#
#Photos of Jiang Muning attending a dinner party with a big boss at the age of 12 were exposed#
#Jiang Muning became the tool for the Bai family, the richest man in Dong Province, to make money#
Jiang Jin: “…”
The time at which the topics appeared on the trending searches was so dense and consistent, it was obvious who did it.
Jiang Mu Ning is very popular in the entertainment industry. Once the news of his accident came out, it quickly occupied the top three positions on the hot searches, pushing the popularity of Jiang's news to a higher level.
Some fans and passers-by who never pay attention to social and financial news also took a closer look at the Jiang family, and Jiang's stock price was immediately affected.
Even the Bai Group itself was implicated.
Bai Shuting and Ao Xinyi became vicious adoptive parents who used their young daughter to make money. Some old rumors and gossip about Ao Xinyi when he was young were dug up again, and he was attacked online, which was like cyber violence.
The situation developed too quickly. Within just a few hours, it spread like wildfire and burned right before Jiang Jin's eyes.
Is Bai Shuting crazy?
Hurt the enemy by one thousand and lose ten thousand of your own?
It's not enough for him to just go crazy, but he wants to drag Ao Xinyi, Mu Ning, and even his entire family to hell with him?
Jiang Jin frowned, dismissed his attendants, and dialed Bai Shuting's number.
