Bai Qiming completed talking and hung up the cellphone.

Since historic instances, Jiangjing has at all times been the capital, the financial heart of Asia.

A lot of the nation’s inherited main households are positioned in Jiangjing.

Centering on Jiangjing, 4 cities within the southeast, northwest type a clear-cut circle of energy and the Aristocracy, which to this present day stays a chasm that one can’t cross.

Nearly everybody strives from beginning to attend Jiangjing College, that emblem of standing and id.

And Xiangcheng—

A border city, inhabited by all types of individuals, swarming with worldwide fugitives, the place numerous individuals go lacking every year, and most of the people earn a set wage, their lives set in stone as soon as they enter town.

Naturally, Bai Qiming didn’t suppose Bai Lian would go there.

Businessmen prioritize revenue, and his love for Ji Mulan had been carrying skinny daily.

Accordingly, Bai Lian’s standing fell daily.

Even bizarre households can’t deal with everybody equally, not to mention a grand family just like the Bai Household.

In any other case, he wouldn’t have been unaware that Bai Lian had left the Bai Household way back.

The servants downstairs had been additionally stressed upon receiving the decision, not understanding Bai Qiming’s intention, solely exchanging anxious glances.

The place might they discover one other younger miss to carry again?

Shortly after, the servant who answered the cellphone nervously went upstairs to knock on the examine door.

“The place is she?” Bai Qiming glanced at him.

The servant was on the verge of tears, “The younger miss, she… she…”

Butler Bai was by the aspect, his voice hoarse and his expression advanced as he defined, “Sir, the younger miss… she set off for Xiangcheng that evening.”

As for the ancestral corridor, she didn’t even give it a look.

The examine immediately fell into a chilly silence.

“Good, excellent certainly!” Bai Qiming’s face was as grim as water, and he stated indifferently, “Since she’s so decided, let her switch her family registration out too. Any more, whether or not she lives or dies, whether or not she is honored or disgraced, it has nothing to do with the Bai Household.”

Bai Lian had prompted hassle earlier than, and there have been instances when Bai Qiming and Ji Mulan indulged her, however now, she could be overestimating herself, really believing that the Bai Household would go to Xiangcheng to beg her to return?

Bai Qiming’s rage naturally couldn’t be hid from others.

Quickly, the Grand Elder of the clan got here to know of the matter.

“Neglect it, don’t hassle, let her search her personal fortune,” the Grand Elder waved his hand, not involved so long as Bai Shaoke’s identify remained within the household register, “It’s only a disgrace about that mentorship pledge, a cow chewing on a peony.”

When the Bai Household first realized of Bai Shaoke’s existence, the Grand Elder personally made three respectful visits to ask him again to the Bai Household, however Bai Lian’s departure was of little consequence to the Bai Household.

Within the hearts of Grand Elder and the others, Bai Lian was even much less vital than that mentorship pledge.

By the point Bai Lian acquired the message from the Bai Household’s servant, she had already arrived at her uncle’s neighborhood.

She dismissed the message with no care.

Bai Lian’s uncle lived within the previous district of Xiangcheng, in contrast to the high-rise buildings within the heart of Beicheng Metropolis, this neighborhood was fairly rundown.

Her uncle’s household lived on the fifth flooring with no elevator, and the stairwell was darkish and unlit.

When she knocked on the door and entered, her aunt in a skirt stood as much as greet her, her eyes clearly looking for favor as she reached out to take Bai Lian’s suitcase, “Alian is right here, why didn’t you name so I might show you how to together with your baggage?”

Bai Lian didn’t hand it over, and her aunt chuckled awkwardly, stepping again.

Bai Lian appeared up, “Howdy.”

A face that was languid, but strikingly distinctive.

Ji Auntie immediately felt that the shabby 100-square-meter residence and the dim stairwell had been totally mismatched along with her niece.

“Let’s eat first, Alian. That is your grandfather; you in all probability haven’t met him earlier than. Your uncle continues to be educating college students to color; he received’t be again till the night. Do you bear in mind your eldest uncle…” Ji Auntie was very enthusiastic, and he or she launched Bai Lian to her grandfather sitting on the sofa.

Bai Lian’s gaze settled on her grandfather.

Her grandfather, Ji Heng.

In accordance with the unique proprietor’s reminiscence, Ji Mulan had a poor relationship with the Ji Household and had solely returned as soon as in a few years, standing on the door for a very long time.

Ji Heng had not opened the door at the moment, nor had he seen them.

This was their first assembly.

Ji Heng sat on the material couch, his eyes mounted on the TV enjoying information, with studying glasses on his nostril. His jacket, although washed and barely pale, was embroidered with extraordinarily delicate patterns. He sat with a straight again, holding an previous smoking pipe in his hand.

After the aunt went to the kitchen and fairly some time handed, Ji Heng lastly spoke in a muffled voice, “Has your mom been in contact with you these previous two years?”

Bai Lian appeared on the beautiful embroidery on his physique. She sat down on the sofa along with her eyes lowered and legs crossed, showing docile and innocent, although her fingers idly twirled a crimson ribbon, “No.”

The unique proprietor’s mom had been out of contact for 2 years already.

Ji Heng nodded, lowered his head to silently draw a puff from his dry pipe, and stated no extra.

Bai Lian obediently sat for some time, however when she noticed nobody taking note of her, she casually leaned towards the sofa and lazily took out her cellphone to browse the information.

The lunch was bountiful, all to Bai Lian’s liking.

“Have you ever transferred your college registration but?” Within the midst of silence, Ji Heng inquired.

“It’s being processed; it ought to be transferred in a few days.”

“Mm. When your uncle comes again, have him show you how to contact the academics at Xiangcheng Center College.”

The aunt felt one thing was amiss.

“`

“`

“College information? What college information?”

“I’ve transferred to Xiangcheng to attend college,” Bai Lian had solely eaten just a few bites of white rice earlier than she put down her chopsticks, “I’ve left the Bai Household.”

Aunt’s thoughts buzzed, “Left, what do you imply by left?”

Bai Lian pulled out a tissue and wiped the nook of her mouth, her tone nonchalant, “It means I used to be kicked out, and I have to switch my family registration too. I can’t return anymore.”

“What?!” Aunt’s voice was a bit shrill, “What about your dad?”

Bai Lian checked out her with an “you inform me” expression.

She didn’t see any joke on Bai Lin’s face.

Aunt didn’t eat a lot, she was distracted and didn’t know what she was fascinated with and couldn’t resist taking out her cellphone to look.

She didn’t know what she noticed within the information, however her expression turned bitter, and he or she didn’t even wash the bowls.

Uncle Bai Lian got here again fairly early, and earlier than he had an opportunity to greet Ji Heng, he was pulled into the room by aunt.

The soundproofing wasn’t excellent, and from the room got here the muffled voice of aunt, “Ji Shaojun, did you already know she could be staying right here and had me put together a room for her?”

“Maintain your voice down,” Uncle Ji’s voice was low, “Dad and Alian are exterior—”

“However did you see the dimensions of our home…”

Earlier than lengthy, the 2 got here out.

“Alright,” Ji Heng picked up the pipe that was put aside, knocked it on the desk, making a loud noise. His wrinkled face confirmed no expression. He bowed his head to mild it, and the smoke blurred his options, “Alian, come to my place.”

Ji Shaojun appeared towards his father, opened his mouth, however knew as soon as Ji Heng determined one thing, nobody might change his thoughts.

Aunt paused for a second.

Then, smiling, she touched her hair, “Dad, why don’t you keep for dinner?”

“No,” Ji Heng exhaled a hoop of smoke, trying over at Bai Lian, “Come again with me.”

Ji Shaojun was a step behind Ji Heng, ready for him to go away first, then he turned to his spouse, “Shen Qing, hearken to your self, what did you simply say? Alian simply obtained again immediately, is it applicable to say these issues?”

After a few years of marriage, his spouse wasn’t with out emotional intelligence. He didn’t perceive why she deliberately made Ji Heng and Bai Lian hear these issues.

“I made it some extent to let your dad hear it. Everybody in your loved ones acts the identical. If I don’t discuss straight, your dad received’t perceive a phrase,” Shen Qing picked up a rag, her voice tinged with sarcasm.

She was boiling with irritation.

She knew all too effectively the form of particular person her niece was—moving into fights, drag racing, bar hopping, she didn’t miss a beat.

Ji Mulan had a falling out with Ji Heng when she was eighteen, and no person within the Ji Household knew she had married right into a rich household. Shen Qing had secretly seen it on Ji Shaojun’s cellphone earlier than.

The Bai Household had by no means acknowledged the Ji Household as their poor relations; they hadn’t visited Xiangcheng as soon as.

She had hoped that with Bai Lian’s return to Xiangcheng, there could be an opportunity for her to socialize with the Bai Household.

Who might have identified that Bai Lian was identical to Ji Mulan, falling out along with her rich father as effectively.

“I’m asking you, isn’t she a senior like Wanxuan? Are we going to proceed supporting her if she doesn’t get into college subsequent yr? One Ji Mulan, one Ji Shaorong, you received’t allow them to assist, but you’re cleansing up after her?” The extra she considered it, the extra she felt wronged, she continued, “Your loved ones at all times tries to behave above all of it, however are you able to eat pleasure? No marvel the Bai Household favors that illegitimate youngster.”

“This isn’t about pleasure, it’s about ideas,” Ji Shaojun stated as he opened the entrance door, glancing at Shen Qing earlier than going downstairs, “And don’t evaluate that illegitimate youngster with Alian.”

Shen Qing stood there, her face chilly, tossing the rag into the sink.

Had she stated something fallacious?

Even Bai Lian’s personal mom deserted her like an previous shoe. She was simply fortunate to be born right into a household with some safety. How might she evaluate to the extremely smart illegitimate youngster of the Bai Household?

She didn’t perceive, what had been Ji Heng and Ji Shaojun holding onto?

**

Outdoors.

Ji Shaojun rapidly caught as much as the 2 others, silently going to choose up Bai Lian’s suitcase.

Bai Lian paused, she checked out Ji Shaojun for about ten seconds earlier than letting go.

Ji Shaojun hoisted the suitcase.

Bai Lian watched his retreating determine for an extended whereas earlier than buckling her hat.

She adopted behind, leisurely looking out on her cellphone for one thing that her. A brand new message popped up from one of many authentic proprietor’s rowdy pals, and he or she replied.

The unique proprietor didn’t have many pals, principally wealthy youngsters with nothing higher to do. This was the one one who had contacted her prior to now couple of days.

Rowdy good friend: “What’s together with your fiancé?”

As she spoke, she despatched a screenshot.

Bai Lian clicked on the picture, revealing a WeChat Moments screenshot.

[Bai Shaoqi: This is the price you pay for underestimating others (playful) [Image]]

The photograph confirmed her distinguished fiancé sideways, holding a rag and wiping a window.

It was obvious that Bai Shaoqi was well-liked, with a number of responses, likes, and feedback beneath the photograph.

In Beicheng Metropolis, who wouldn’t acknowledge Music Min, the third younger grasp of the Music Household?

—Pleasant to see, our Younger Grasp Music has descended to the mortal realm

—Solely you could possibly do that, goddess!

—Haha, insider right here: Music Min at all times defies destiny, however doesn’t he neglect that Shaoqi is Bai Qiming’s little sister, huh~

—Proper? He should suppose Shaoqi is that younger woman who couldn’t final a day in our worldwide class, did too poorly in sciences, after which was booted out to review liberal arts by our homeroom trainer in frustration!
