As the days passed, Jiang Hanmo made no progress and Bai Zhenxi didn't reply to his messages properly, which made Chi Li very worried.

It was still the dull dinner time. Jin Zhenyuan put down his chopsticks and suddenly asked, "How are you and Mr. Bai getting along?"

Chi Li and He Ya looked at each other and both had an ominous premonition.

"It's fine." Chi Li replied as she placed her chopsticks on the dishes.

Unhappiness filled the wrinkles on Jin Zhenyuan's face. He stared at Chi Li and asked, "I heard that you and Mr. Bai haven't seen each other since you separated."

Upon hearing this, Chi Li quickly forced a sweet smile and said, "He's very determined to marry me, and not meeting me won't change anything."

Jin Zhenyuan's expression did not ease at all because of Chi Li's words. His brows furrowed even deeper. "What do you know, little girl? Men are prone to change. The Bai family is extremely wealthy. Do you know how many people are eyeing this piece of fat meat?"

Chi Li fidgeted with the hem of her clothes nervously and asked tentatively, "Then I'll make an appointment with Bai Yu to meet up tomorrow to keep in touch?"

Jin Zhenyuan wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief and said without letting anyone refuse, "Stop messing around. I've already sent someone to pick up Mr. Bai."

"Ah?" Chi Li looked puzzled.

"I'll invite Mr. Bai to stay at my house for some time so that he can see you every day. I think the marriage will be a sure thing," said Jin Zhenyuan.

This undoubtedly increases the difficulty of Chi Li and others' exploration of the back garden.

Chi Li tried to struggle: "This is not good! Mr. Bai is in poor health and suddenly changed his living environment. I am a little worried."

"Then let Mr. Bai's younger brother come along. With his family around to take care of him, nothing will go wrong."

After Jin Zhenyuan finished speaking, he didn't give Chi Li time to refute and stood up and walked upstairs.

Jiang Hanmo looked at Jin Zhenyuan's back, wondering what he was thinking.

"What's going on? Is this the plot?" Chi Li said in a low voice.

He Ya put down her chopsticks, a feeling of half joy and half sorrow spread throughout her body, making her lose interest in eating.

Chi Li thought this was good news. She hadn't seen Bai Zhenxi for a long time and really missed him.

"I will continue to look for clues there tonight." Jiang Hanmo said to He Ya.

He Ya's expression was complicated. She nodded without saying anything.

Chi Li took out her cell phone from her pocket and sent a message to Bai Zhenxi: Did you receive the message?

[Well, see you tomorrow. 】

The next morning, the three men stood in front of the manor in silence.

"Didn't we agree to arrive at 8:30?" Chi Li broke the silence.

He Ya looked worried: "Maybe there's a traffic jam?"

"Here I come." Jiang Hanmo said, looking at the long road.

Chi Li and He Ya looked forward and could only see trees in the distance on the long road.

"Where?" Chi Li looked around.

After a while, a small black dot in the distance became increasingly obvious.

"You have a very good eye." Chi Li said.

This is simply clairvoyance!

After the luxurious Bentley stopped, the driver opened the door and Bai Yu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, got out of the car holding the driver's arm.

He Ya took a deep breath and took two steps forward. She grabbed Bai Yu's clothes and said, "Father asked me to pick you up. Did you feel uncomfortable on the way?"

Bai Yu shook his head but did not push He Ya away.

Bai Zhenxi opened the back door of the car, got out, and looked at He Ya's hand that was pulling Bai Yu's sleeve with a complicated look.

Chi Li's lips curled up in a mischievous manner.

Bai Zhenxi didn't understand. Chi Li's fiancé was about to grow up with her sister, so why could she still laugh?

Jiang Hanmo's eyes fell on Chi Li and Bai Zhenxi, as if he was thinking about something.

Chi Li frowned, always feeling that his eyes were strange and outstanding.

"Come in, I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the environment?" Chi Li said to Bai Zhenxi.

The housekeeper called a few servants out to move the two young masters' daily necessities.

He Ya pulled Bai Yu and walked forward in small steps.

"Are you confident in them?" Bai Zhenxi asked in a low voice.

"Of course, after all, my heart is not with him." Chi Li said in a low voice.

No one knew when Jiang Hanmo left, and no one cared.

Chi Li and Bai Zhenxi walked upstairs side by side.

The guest room was on the third floor. After leading the person into the room, Chi Li closed the door, leaned against it, and looked at him teasingly: "Did you miss me?"

"You are my sister-in-law." Bai Zhenxi's ears turned red and she said through gritted teeth.

"So what? This can't be an obstacle for us." Chi Li smiled and moved closer to him.

Baizhenxi retreated, always keeping a certain distance from Chili.

"You want to take revenge on my brother?"

Apart from this reason, he couldn't think of any other reason why Chi Li would harass him.

Chi Li curled her lips and said seriously: "No, I am serious about you."

As if burned by her gaze, Bai Zhenxi looked out the window in a panic.

After a long while, he sighed and said, "Then come with me to talk to my brother and make things clear."

Chi Li opened her mouth to say yes, but she suddenly remembered that Bai Yu knew, so she closed her mouth again.

In Bai Zhenxi's eyes, this look meant that she was hesitant.

Bai Zhenxi concealed the disappointment in his eyes and said coldly, "Since you don't dare, then stop teasing me and get out."

"No, I really..." Chi Li wanted to explain, but didn't know how to say it.

Bai Zhenxi's eyes seemed to be frozen at this moment, and an annoyed look flashed across his eyes. He pushed Chi Li out with his right hand.

In the blink of an eye, Chi Li was standing outside the door, looking at it with a helpless expression.

I hope everything goes well for He Ya, and that Bai Yu can change his mind.

In the evening, the five people met in a restaurant.

Jin Zhenyuan and his wife wanted them to get closer, but they didn't show up.

"Mr. Bai, I heard someone say that you seemed to have other purposes in coming to the Jin family." Jiang Hanmo said casually while leaning back in a wooden chair.

Bai Yu's expression remained unchanged. He finished the food that He Ya had put in his bowl and said, "It's no secret that I'm not in good health. My parents believed the lies of those so-called masters and found an excuse to send me here."

Chi Li ate silently and did not participate in their conversation.

Bai Yu has already said it very clearly. The Bai family invited a master to treat him, and the master concluded that the golden house could give him a chance of survival.

"Lies? Mr. Bai doesn't believe it? I don't think you want to tell lies." Jiang Hanmo said mysteriously.

Before Bai Yu could reply, He Ya became excited.

"What do you mean? Are you saying that senior's health will get better?" She asked expectantly, holding her chopsticks tightly.

Bai Yu looked at He Ya and smiled faintly: "I forgot that Mr. Jiang is also a master."

He had experienced all kinds of disappointments before, and at this moment he had no hope. Instead, he was wondering how much money Jiang Hanmo wanted to cheat their family out of.

"Last night, I found a secret passage in the back garden. I have a hunch that Mr. Bai's survival plan must be there." Jiang Hanmo looked around to see if there was anyone else around, and spoke in a low voice.

"Premonition?" Bai Yu just thought it was ridiculous.

Scammers these days are really capable of anything.
