Mother Liu and Mei'er were standing at the door of the old house. When they saw them come out, they hurried over to greet them.

Xu Huiling's face was distorted and her cheeks flushed.

"Madam..." Mother Liu looked at her worriedly.

"Let's go!" Xu Huiling said coldly.

"Mother! I... I won't leave! I want to see Brother Xun!" Wu Yiren cried and shook off Xu Huiling's hand and ran towards Jingyuan.

"Wu Yiren!" Xu Huiling was furious and hurriedly chased after her.

Mother Liu and Mei'er followed closely behind.

"Looking for my brother! Looking for my brother!" Wu Yiren ran and cried.

"Huh? Cousin, what are you doing..." Before Ah Fu could react, he was pushed away by Wu Yiren.

"Looking for my brother!" Wu Yiren pushed open the door of the study. There was no one in the room, so she turned around and ran to the bedroom.

"Cousin, the second young master is not in the room. Please wait in the main room for a moment, I..." Ah Fu stopped her and said.

"Pa" a loud slap hit Ah Fu's face.

Wu Yiren said viciously, "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you tell me what to do?"

"Wu Yiren! What are you doing here?" Bai Xun said with a gloomy face.

Wu Yiren turned around and saw the person she wanted to see, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Brother Xun, you really don't like me at all?"

"No, I have only regarded you as my younger sister since I was a child." Bai Xun said coldly.

Wu Yiren's face turned pale. Her gaze fell on Nanchun, who was beside Bai Xun, and a surge of anger rose up: "Shameless bitch, it's all your fault! Do you know what people say about Brother Xun because of you?"

Bai Xun held Nanchun's hand and frowned, saying, "People have their mouths on their faces, they can say whatever they want. Yiren, you've grown up, don't be so willful. Everyone has their own things to do and no one has time to revolve around you."

"Looking for my brother..." Wu Yiren felt extremely sad.

"Wu Yiren! Don't you think you're embarrassed enough?"

Xu Huiling came hurriedly, her lips tightly pursed, her chin slightly raised, her teeth chattering, as if every inch of her skin was clamoring with anger and dissatisfaction.

"Mother Liu, Mei'er, take the young lady away to me!"

"Brother Xun, I love you! No one loves you more than me! Nan isn't sincere towards you at all! He just covets the wealth of the Bai family!"

Wu Yiren struggled and cried, and was dragged away by Liu Mama and Mei'er.

Xu Huiling glanced at Nanchun and sneered, "Xun'er, I hope you don't regret it. I have nothing more to say to you, my aunt. I just wish you many children and grandchildren!"

After saying that, she left angrily.

"Your cousin is so kind-hearted that she can still say words of blessing to you."

After Nanchun finished speaking, she looked at Ah Fu, who had a slap mark on his face, and said with a smile, "Ah Fu, was my cousin's slap really strong? Did it hurt?"

Nanchun had experienced this in his previous life.

He once wondered if Wu Yiren had practiced some special slapping techniques.

Now it seems that her servants have suffered a lot from this.

Ah Fu covered his face and screamed, "That's right, I was enduring the pain just now."

"Hahaha, I'll give you a big apple to replenish your energy."

"Thank you, Second Young Madam!"

Ah Fu took it with a playful smile.

Bai Xun wanted to comfort Nanchun, but when he saw that he looked like nothing had happened, he didn't know what to say.

She just sighed and raised her hand to scratch his nose.

You are the one with a big heart!

The old Bai family house was gradually left behind by the moving cars.

Every time Xu Huiling exhaled, her chest rose and fell violently. Her hands were clenched into fists, and her knuckles turned white from the exertion.

"See? This is the feeling of being inferior! You must remember this humiliation!" Xu Huiling's eyes were red, and she grabbed Wu Yiren's wrist and said gritting her teeth.

Wu Yiren was startled by her and nodded tremblingly.

"What's this about love and affection? It's all bullshit! Money and power are the only things that matter! The Bai family... I will make them pay for their arrogance!"

There was a strong smell of medicine in Mrs. Bai's room.

Mother Lan looked at the pale and worried Madam Bai and consoled her, "Madam, please eat something! You only drank a few sips of soup today. How can your body handle this?"

Old Madam Bai sighed and said, "How can I eat this! The child I've lovingly raised for over a decade... turns out to be an ungrateful idiot!"

Mother Lan sighed, hesitated for a moment, and said, "This happened suddenly. My cousin...she must be very upset, so she spoke without thinking, right?"

Old Madam Bai snorted coldly, "She's talking without thinking? I think she's determined to get on with our Bai family! It's all connected, and if I still can't figure it out, I'm truly old and confused!"

As the master and servant were talking, Bai Yishui arrived.

"I asked the kitchen to make your favorite pigeon soup. Have a bowl."

Mother Lan helped Mrs. Bai sit up and handed her the soup.

Mrs. Bai's eyes turned red, and she choked up, "Master, this is all my fault. I trusted Huiling..."

Bai Yishui sighed softly and said, "Hui Ling has always been ambitious, bold, and full of ideas. While this isn't a bad thing, in today's world, situations are changing rapidly. Staying calm and protecting yourself is the best strategy."

The Wang family was once a powerful force in Huicheng. Old Master Wang, the patriarch, was a prominent figure in Huicheng. But simply because he had attended a dinner hosted by Yan Haicheng, Sun Dajun's henchman, back home, he was implicated in Sun Dajun's defeat, leading to the destruction of his family.

Although Marshal Li now has a powerful influence in Ancheng, he is under attack from all sides and his peace won't last long. Otherwise, why would his son suddenly become so close to the Wu family and even ask Huiling to persuade our Bai family to partner with him in business?

Our Bai family is now the target of all forces. If we want to survive, we can only play ball with them and give them some sweet treats from time to time to keep them tantalized. If we rashly take sides, we will end up dead.

Mrs. Bai wiped her tears and said, "I was too short-sighted. I only wanted to strengthen our relationship and didn't think too much about it. Who knew Huiling would be so heartless!"

"Okay, it's over."

"But... now that we have openly broken off relations with the Wu family, will Marshal Li think that our Bai family is eager to draw a clear line with them? What should we do if he holds a grudge against us?" Old Madam Bai said worriedly.

Bai Yishui said, "Now that things have come to this, there's no point in overthinking. When the enemy comes, we'll fight them; when the water comes, we'll block it with earth! You should also have a good talk with Xun'er.

This matter... was originally your fault as a grandmother. No matter what, you shouldn't have plotted against him with outsiders. Fortunately, Xun'er was smart and kept an eye on it. Otherwise, our Bai family would have been in even greater trouble in the future."

Mrs. Bai sighed: "Xun'er, this child..."

She has been sick for the past two days, and Bai Xun has not come to see her. He must still be angry.
