After hesitating for a long time, Secretary Li finally chose to confess.

He sighed softly and looked up at Xu Jing.

"In fact, Madam asked me to keep it from you, and it was for your own good."

Xu Jing didn't believe it at all, with a mocking smile on her face.

She had heard this kind of words from Bai Lan countless times.

Listen again, her ears are really going to get calluses.

Seeing her impatient look, Secretary Li couldn't help but sighed lowly.

"Actually, this organization once threatened Madam in secret and asked Madam to help them, but Madam sternly refused."

Xu Jing frowned, "What do they need Bai Lan for?"

Secretary Li took a careful look at Qin Ming, and said in a low voice, "Suppress the Qin family and plunder the Qin family's property."

As soon as the words fell, he felt a gaze coldly sweeping towards him, like a blade, almost scratching his skin.

He was a little scared, and subconsciously shrank his neck.

Xu Jing shook Qin Ming's hand, and said softly, "Calm down, wait for him to finish."

The chill on Qin Ming's body gradually subsided, but his eyes still fell on the other party.

"go on."

His voice was extremely cold, with indescribable pressure.

Secretary Li couldn't help shivering, and hurriedly said, "Seeing that the repeated threats were ineffective, they began to snatch the seal of the Patriarch from Madam's hand. Madam didn't want the Bai family to fall into the hands of outsiders, so she hid the seal."

As he spoke, he turned his eyes to Xu Jing.

Xu Jing frowned, her tone a little displeased.

"Why are you hiding with me?"

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

Bai Lan hid the seal here, is she trying to use her to divert attention?

Xu Jing sneered coldly, no wonder she insisted on letting herself accept it...

It turned out that she was not giving herself a wedding present, but a reminder.

Secretary Li was slightly taken aback, unexpectedly, she had already found out.

He didn't know it at all, but he was secretly entangled in it.

In this case, he doesn't have to continue to hide.

"Madam said that you are the most suitable candidate to inherit the Bai family. If something happens to her, you will inherit the Bai family, and she can feel at ease underground."

Speaking of the word "underground", he looked sad and lowered his eyebrows and eyes.

"The person she prefers has never been me."

Xu Jing paused, then smiled mockingly, "Secretary Li, you are a smart person, you should know that I want to hear the truth."

She doesn't need the other party to make up lies to please herself.

According to Bai Lan's previous way of doing things, what she did and said seemed to be within her own expectations.

However, the Bai Lan that Secretary Li was talking about seemed to be a completely different person.

This made her feel particularly disgusted.

It's just that I didn't expect that when Xu Jing finished speaking, he was strongly rebutted by the other party.

"I did not lie!"

He opened his eyes wide, looked straight at Xu Jing, and said seriously, "I swear, everything I say is true!"

As if afraid that Xu Jing would not believe it, he added, "Madam told me that you are very similar to her, and you are capable enough to take on the important responsibilities of the Bai family. However, she dare not mention it to you, for fear that you will refuse , I can only give you the seal as a parting gift."

"so what?"

Xu Jing put her arms around her chest, her expression didn't change at all.

In her opinion, this is just a trick left by Bai Lan.

She has been fooled many times and will never be fooled again.

She endured it until now, but she just wanted to hear if there was any useful information in the future.

"If according to what you said, she wanted me to inherit the Bai family, why did she ask you not to tell me about the seal?"

Secretary Li was a little anxious, and quickly said, "No, Madam just told me not to tell you about the Heptagram."

He paused, then whispered, "After all, the more you know, the more danger you will face."

Danger?

Will Bai Lan also consider whether she is dangerous?

Xu Jing didn't quite believe it, so she grabbed Secretary Li by the collar and asked, "What does Bai Lan mean? What does she want me to do?"

Bai Ji stood aside, trying to stop him, but seeing Xu Jing's eyes were full of sternness, he hesitated for a moment, but still didn't move.

Now, she is her only relative in the world.

He owed her already, so how could he stand against her?

In comparison, Secretary Li seemed very calm.

"Madam said, the seal is with you, and it's up to you to decide whether to inherit the Bai family. I only hope that you can protect the young master for the sake of blood and family affection."

Xu Jing sneered coldly, "Does she think I'm rare for that thing? From the beginning to the end, has she ever asked my opinion once?"

She decides everything for herself.

Could it be that he is her marionette?

Even if he died, he would work hard for her?

Secretary Li frowned slowly, "To you, the seal of the Bai family may not be important. But to Madam, it is her life!"

When Xu Jing heard this, her voice was unconsciously tinged with anger.

"Since it is the same thing as life, why give it to me?"

Secretary Li was startled, and looked at Xu Jing with some surprise.

"Why don't you understand?"

"What should I understand? Hasn't she used me enough?"

Secretary Li's eyes dimmed slightly, and he said slowly, "The past cannot be undone, but Madam is indeed making up for you in her own way."

He paused, then said in a low voice, "Before the accident, Madam seems to have expected something, and transferred most of the shares to you, leaving only a small part to the young master. Currently, the share agreement is hidden in her office in the safe."

Xu Jing was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously let go of her hand.

What does Bai Lan mean by doing this?

Last time, she clearly rejected herself...

More importantly, why would she keep most of her stuff to herself?

Isn't Bai Ji her favorite son?

Xu Jing couldn't believe it, she couldn't help but frowned, and stared at Secretary Li.

"If you dare to tell a lie, I will never let you go."

Her expression was serious, and her words were full of threats.

Apparently, she walks the talk.

Secretary Li nodded lightly, "Don't worry, everything I said is true."

He thought for a while, and couldn't help but add, "Madam said, she will pay you back what I owe you. She doesn't dare to expect too much, she just hopes that her two children can live well."

Up to now, he seems to still be able to recall Bai Lan's expression when he said this, there was no usual sternness, only gentleness and kindness.

In that way, she is not the head of the family, not the leader of the group, but just an ordinary mother.

Although she and Xu Jing have always been at odds, every time Xu Jing is mentioned, there is a faint pride in her eyebrows and eyes.

On the day of the accident, she called herself to the office and gave many instructions.

At that time, he felt something was wrong.

It wasn't until he heard the news of her falling into the river that he realized that she was confessing her last words to him...
