Chi Shen basically spends most of his time with his friends at the old house after get off work. He knows Bai Wan's past and knows that in the era when Bai Wan lived, there were many restrictions on unmarried women. Even as a girl in the boudoir, she had never walked out of the door of the old house.
After becoming a ghost, she continued to be locked up in the old house. It can be said that Bai Wan never stepped out of the old house during her life and death.
Now Chi Shen brought her out of the old house. Although Bai Wan was covered with a red veil and her expression could not be seen clearly, Chi Shen could feel that Bai Wan was happy from the moment she stepped out of the old house.
Ji Xingchen noticed this earlier than he did. When Chi Shen tried to make origami candies for everyone, Ji Xingchen said that Bai Wan would like modern things. Chi Shen felt that Ji Xingchen was right, so how could he waste such a great opportunity as Halloween? This was a rare opportunity to openly let his friends appear in front of ordinary people. He must take his friends out to play, especially to take his sister out for a walk.
Moreover, Ji Xingchen was more familiar with this world than he was, so he handed over the preparations for the Halloween outing to Ji Xingchen, and Ji Xingchen had no objection.
Chi Shen got up and went out the next morning to meet Xu Xiuyun.
Xu Xiuyun was his biological mother, but the two of them had only spent a few hours together. Chi Shen found it a little funny. He had been in Gangcheng for so long, and Xu Xiuyun only invited him to dinner once at the beginning. She didn't even come to visit him once afterwards, but she asked him on the phone with concern whether those dishes were his taboos.
It was as if, as a mother, she had always been caring for him and fulfilling her motherly responsibilities.
Xu Xiuyun chose a high-end restaurant with an average per capita cost of over a thousand yuan. The restaurant was elegantly decorated with an ancient atmosphere. Chi Shen looked over the rockery and flowing water and walked calmly to Xu Xiuyun's seat.
Before, Xu Xiuyun invited him to just an ordinary restaurant. Now he came here. I don’t know if it means that she takes it seriously or if she came here for something today.
The recent changes in the Bai family did not seem to affect Xu Xiuyun. She still looked gentle and graceful, and she made people feel close to her. Seeing Chi Shen coming over, she stood up with a smile and said, "Shen Shen, come here. Mom has already ordered the dishes. Take a look at the menu and see if it suits your taste. The crabs are good recently..."
Chi Shen didn't even look at the menu that Xu Xiuyun pushed over, and went straight to the point and asked, "What's the matter this time?"
"Mom is worried about you and wants to see you," Xu Xiuyun said with a gentle smile on her face. "I want to see how you've been doing recently. Your dad said you moved out of the old house. Are you used to living in the new place?"
Chi Shen nodded but didn't say anything. He felt that Xu Xiuyun should be able to carry on this scene by herself.
Sure enough, although Chi Shen didn't say a word, Xu Xiuyun first expressed her concern and worry, and then asked Chi Shen to understand Bai Ximing, because Bai Ximing was responsible for the entire Bai family and could not make decisions at will. Bai Ximing still recognized him as his biological son.
Up to this point, Chi Shen felt that it was quite normal and within his expectations, but as he listened, he suddenly began to feel strange.
Because Xu Xiuyun hoped that he could forgive Bai Ran, saying that Bai Ran just lost his mind and went astray. Now Chi Shen is alive and well and has made so many friends in the old house, so Bai Ran is really doing it for his own good. She hopes that he can convince Lu Xiangyang to write a letter of forgiveness to Bai Ran so that Bai Ran can get a lighter sentence.
Under ordinary laws, the victim's family is required to sign a letter of forgiveness before the criminal can be given a light sentence. The Bai family can definitely handle this, but when it comes to the Special Security Department and Lu Xiangyang himself has turned into a ghost, the victim himself is required to sign a letter of forgiveness. This is a bit difficult. The Bai family can't even see Lu Xiangyang's ghost now, let alone ask for forgiveness, so Xu Xiuyun wants to ask Chi Shen for help.
Chi Shen originally wanted to watch Xu Xiuyun finish her performance, but at this point, he finally couldn't help it. He looked at Xu Xiuyun with an indescribable expression and asked, "Does Bai Ximing know about this?"
"He is your father," Xu Xiuyun said after taking a sip of water, perhaps because she was a little tired from performing. "Of course he knows that I am here to see you."
"No," Chi Shen reminded her, "I mean, let me persuade Lu Xiangyang to write a letter of apology so that Bai Ran can get a lighter sentence for this matter."
Xu Xiuyun was drinking water at the moment, and suddenly she choked. She coughed several times, ruining her elegant and gentle image. However, she quickly took out a tissue to wipe the table dry and said, "He is your brother after all. You have to take care of him. Have you forgotten what your mother said?"
"That means Bai Ximing doesn't know." Chi Shen directly pointed out what she didn't want to say. From Xu Xiuyun's words, he heard that Xu Xiuyun must have come to him today with something. She probably wanted him to reconcile with the Bai family, and it would be best if he could go back to the Bai family. After all, he became friends with the ghosts in the old house and took them away, so his value would be great.
However, the Bai family members did not dare to come and attack him directly now, whether it was because they were afraid of his ghost friends, or because it was now a society ruled by law and the Special Security Bureau had gradually taken over Hong Kong City. Anyway, they all chose a gentle method to get him to help the Bai family.
At this time, it was obviously unwise to mention Bai Ran. Bai Ran wanted him to die, but he wanted him to let it go with just a few words. It was ridiculous. Besides, Bai Ran's matter had little to do with him. What they needed was Lu Xiangyang's forgiveness, not his.
Chi Shen felt that someone like Bai Ximing would definitely not say such words on his own initiative, so that was what Xu Xiuyun wanted to say herself.
Xu Xiuyun's fake smile finally couldn't hold on any longer and froze on her face.
"Do you know Ji Xingchen?" Chi Shen didn't continue to waste time talking to her and went straight to the point of his visit today.
As he spoke, Chi Shen took out his mobile phone, on which was a photo of Ji Xingchen No. 2. Ji Xingchen could actually take a photo in some situations, but the photo was not clear enough and was translucent, making it not very suitable for identifying people.
Xu Xiuyun immediately calmed down and looked at Chi Shen's phone. Then she shook her head: "I have never heard of the name Ji Xingchen, but..."
Looking at the phone, Xu Xiuyun frowned slightly: "It looks familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere."
"He is also related to the Bai family." Chi Shen laughed.
Xu Xiuyun was just about to say something to ease the atmosphere between the two of them, but when she saw Chi Shen's smile, she suddenly felt a chill.
When he was at Bai's house and looking at Bai Ran, he was smiling like this.
The waiter was serving the dishes at this time. Although the atmosphere was strange, they were still very conscientious as waiters and tried to introduce them in a lively tone: "This is the matsutake mushroom that was just airlifted from Yunnan this morning..."
Chi Shen stood up from his seat and said with a smile: "Sorry, my friend is still waiting for me, I have to leave first."
"Shen Shen!" Xu Xiuyun stood up anxiously and called him, "Eat your meal first before leaving."
Chi Shen ignored her.
Xu Xiuyun became even more anxious. She said, "If you persuade Lu Xiangyang, I can let you return to the Bai family tomorrow!"
Chi Shen stopped and looked sideways at Xu Xiuyun: "Then lock him up and never let him out."
