After finishing the meal, Bai Yi accompanied his grandfather in the chess room, playing chess and drinking tea. After playing for an unknown number of rounds, it was time for lunch.

Bai Fuci looked at the chessboard in front of him filled with black and white chess pieces with satisfaction, and said with lingering interest, "It's still fun to play chess with my Yiyi. She never lets me win. Look, you've won again."

Bai Yi smiled lightly: "Grandpa, you are too kind. You were the winner in the previous few games. I only won this game by a narrow margin."

"Haha, you really inherited all the excellent genes from your father. You have a good brain and are decisive. No matter what you do, you are so outstanding."

"Grandpa, aren't you just trying to brag about yourself? The reason why my father is so outstanding is because he is your son. As the saying goes, a good father will have a good son. Others say that my father looks most like you when you were young."

Her words made Bai Fuci even happier, and he said, "You're right. I can always see the shadow of my youth in your father. My son is capable and courageous, but he is also the most opinionated. I feel sorry for him working hard in the mainland all these years. Fortunately, you, his daughter, have inherited his legacy, and I feel a lot more relieved."

"Grandpa, don't worry, I will do my best to help my father share the pressure."

"Okay, I'm totally confident in you."

After finishing the chess game, the grandfather and grandson had lunch together alone. Bai Yi did not get up and leave until Bai Fuci returned to his bedroom for a nap.

As soon as she walked out of the restaurant, she saw Bai Yunrui who was about to come in.

Seeing the almost black blue in his eyes, Bai Yi smiled coldly in his heart, but asked calmly: "Brother Yunrui, are you going to have lunch?"

Bai Yunrui replied to her unhappily: "What else, come here to sleep?"

"You are the master of this house. Even if you sleep in the restaurant, who can stop you?"

"Bai Yi, are you looking for trouble on purpose?"

Facing his anger, Bai Yi remained calm and said, "I am just concerned about you, cousin. I heard that you were going out to do some work this afternoon, and I saw that you looked so bad, so I kindly reminded you to get more rest."

"Otherwise~" she said, slowly turning around and looking directly at the other person.

The next moment, Youyou said, "If we get into a car accident by accident, won't our family be worried?"

Bai Yunrui's body suddenly froze. After a few seconds, he spoke tremblingly: "What car accident? I don't understand what you are talking about. It's New Year's Day, don't curse me!"

Bai Yi felt even colder, thinking that a fool really couldn't produce offspring with brains. He hadn't said anything yet, but he was so eager to self-destruct.

He can't even manage the most basic facial expression, yet he dares to frame me. I don't know who gave him this courage!

So he apologized in a casual tone: "Brother Yunrui is right. I have been abroad for too long and forgot that we Chinese people are most taboo to say unlucky words on such a festive day. It's my fault. I apologize to you."

Bai Yunrui couldn't help but get even more angry when he saw that although she said words of apology, her tone and attitude seemed nonchalant.

But at this moment, he was feeling guilty because of the word "car accident" mentioned by the other party, and he didn't have time to continue arguing. He just responded with a few words and fled into the restaurant.

He didn't notice the cold gaze from the person behind him at all.

Bai Yunrui really regretted at this moment that he had never gotten to know Bai Yi, his sister. In the few times they met each year, she always left him with a silent and taciturn image.

All he knew about this sister was that she studied abroad, was quite talented, and had made achievements in the family business at a young age. However, she was not loved and valued by her biological parents, otherwise she would not have been exiled abroad for so many years and could not even return home.

So when he heard that grandpa and grandma were discussing handing over the properties that should have belonged to them to his younger sister, he instantly became murderous.

You have to know that according to the distribution rules of family property, after your older brothers and sisters have taken over so much of the family business, the remaining part should be handed over to you for management.

And this part represents a huge number.

As a result, because my uncle's daughter had gained a little fame, my grandparents changed their minds and only gave me a certain amount of dividends and pocket money every month, and did not give me any of the money-making industries.

In a fit of rage, he came up with a sinister idea to get rid of this cousin who was blocking his path to wealth. After all, she was just an unfavored daughter in the family.

Even if she was favored by grandparents, it was because of her ability. But as long as she died, how many days would grandparents be sad?

There are so many shady things going on in a family like theirs, not to mention this one.

Thinking this way, he began to instigate his father, and then his father provided the money and people, while he kept an eye on the progress.

Unexpectedly, the other party not only escaped death, but also was safe and sound.

The only thing he was thankful for now was that his father and son had done something clean and left no evidence. Otherwise, with Bai Yi's sinister and weird personality, he didn't know how he would avenge himself.

Bai Yi returned to the bedroom, closed the doors and windows, then walked to the bed, picked up the mobile phone in the drawer of the dressing table, and dialed a number.

"How are things going?"

A young man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Don't worry, I'm the best at setting up a scam, and now everything is going according to our plan. He's completely involved now, and he just mortgaged a store under his name the day before yesterday. If nothing unexpected happens, he will come to the casino again tonight. After all, my dealers here may not have any other skills, but they are good at seducing people."

"Okay, I told you, the result I want is for him to be deeply in debt."

The person on the other side was puzzled: "Even if he is heavily in debt, so what? Your grandfather's huge family business can be taken away with just a wave of his hand."

Bai Yi's eyes were dark. "No matter how big the family fortune is, I won't use it to clean up the ass of an unpopular prodigal. Just do as I say."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Yi started packing his luggage.

There was a problem with an important project at her family's company, and she needed to rush back today to deal with it.

--------

After Ning Yuechen cleaned up the greenhouse carefully, he saw that it was almost time, so he went to the small kitchen in the main building and started preparing dinner for himself.

Today is the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, and there is a grand lantern party at the foot of the mountain outside the manor villa. Seeing that several staff members at home are looking forward to it, she simply gives them half a day off, allowing everyone to go out and relax and feel the atmosphere of the New Year.

So now, apart from the regular patrol guards and two housekeepers, I am the only one left in the villa.

She has been chatting with Wen Nuan these days, and she increasingly feels the desire to share between the lines of the other party's messages, so her mood is particularly bright.

Thinking about the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner that the other party had sent me a few days ago, I took out all the ingredients in the refrigerator and spent an hour making four dishes and a soup.

She used the most common white ceramic plate in the kitchen, which looked similar to the one in the picture she shared with the other party. She then carefully arranged the dish and took a few photos to send to the other party.

After waiting for a few minutes, no one responded. She was wondering if the other party was busy, when she felt the light in front of her was blocked by a shadow, and she subconsciously looked over.

The next moment, she almost screamed out in fright.

The shock was not because of this person, but because of this person who suddenly appeared.

Bai Yi saw this person grinning foolishly at her phone when he came in. Now that she finally realized his presence, he walked over.

Then his eyes fell on her oil-stained apron.

He frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

Ning Yuechen was still immersed in the shock of her "falling from the sky", and hurriedly replied: "I'm cooking."

"Did you do all this?"

"Yep."

Bai Yi looked around and asked, "Where is the maid at home?"

"There is a lantern show at the foot of the mountain today, so I let them go and have fun. It's hard for them to stay here and take care of me during the New Year."

Bai Yi sat down at the dining table: "They volunteered to stay and work overtime, and our Bai family also paid them three times their wages according to the labor law. How can such a cooperative relationship that meets the needs of both parties be difficult?"

"Um...yeah..."

Ning Yuechen didn't know how to respond to her and thought, is this the capitalist way of thinking?

Bai Yi had no idea what she was thinking and looked at the time on his watch.

It’s just after six o’clock, so we could use some dinner.

In the past few days, with the open and covert fighting among her Hong Kong family, she had no appetite for food.

When I returned home and saw these home-cooked meals, I suddenly felt hungry.

Seeing that she was about to eat, Ning Yuechen hurried to the kitchen and took out new, unused chopsticks for her.

Bai Yi took it, tasted the stir-fried three fresh vegetables, the only dish that looked bland among the four dishes, and asked, "Why would Shi Yu let you cook?"

Ning Yuechen replied: "I usually live alone, and when I have nothing to do, I study recipes and cook some home-cooked dishes."

Bai Yi glanced at her and asked, "Is cooking a hobby?"

She also learned to cook abroad, but it was only to stop eating those inedible fast foods, and it was far from the stage of research.

"Yeah, it can be considered a hobby."

Bai Yi stopped talking. She couldn't understand why those people in Hong Kong were so addicted to alcohol, sex and music, nor could she understand this person's so-called interests and hobbies.

Ning Yuechen was even more surprised to see that she actually ate the food she cooked.

It seemed that since the conversation that night, this person's attitude towards him had really changed a lot. At least the two of them could have a normal conversation like now, and even eat together.

I just hope this situation can last until the day I leave the Bai family.
