In front of Rongjiang Hotel.

"Qiu'er, maybe you were right all along. Your sister has changed a long time ago. It's our stubbornness that has wronged you."

Grandpa Bai Xi's tone was a little sad, perhaps because he found it hard to accept how his daughter had become what she was now.

"Dad, don't say that. Maybe my sister was also influenced by Zhong Guodong's family."

Xi Shuqiu naturally knew that this was not the case, but in order to take care of her parents' feelings, she could only find this excuse.

"That's the person she chose to marry."

Grandpa shook his head: "Okay, you don't have to comfort me, your father is not that fragile, you can go back."

"Dad, Mom, let's take you home."

"No need, we just want to take a walk to relax. If you have time, just bring Xiaoxier to visit us."

Grandma also reached out and touched Bai Xi's face. Her hands were a little rough from years of work, and it felt a little itchy when she stroked Bai Xi: "Xiao Xi'er, you are also amazing. Remember to come and see grandma more often when you have time. Grandma will make you the rice balls that you loved most when you were a child."

Bai Xi reached out and held her grandmother's hand, rubbing her face gently. "Okay, grandma, I'll go tomorrow. I miss the rice balls you made so much. I can't eat them outside."

"Good, good, good."

The wrinkles on the old lady's face smoothed out and she laughed so hard that she could hardly open her eyes.

They chatted about family matters for a while, as if nothing had happened.

Then the two old people waved goodbye to the Baixi family, held hands, and began to walk slowly along the road home.

Xi Shuqiu was also a little dazed when she saw her parents' somewhat desolate backs. It was only after Bai Xi called her several times that she reacted and got in the car.

......

"Mom, stop looking."

After getting in the car, Aunt Xi Shuchun called Xi Shuqiu one after another, but Bai Ma didn't answer any of them.

Seeing that the call couldn't get through, the other party changed his strategy and started sending her various text messages.

Although Xi Shuqiu did not reply, she read the message over and over again in silence.

When Bai Xi got in the car, she told Xiao Rui roughly what happened tonight and asked him to help keep an eye on it. However, Xiao Rui responded that everything was under control. This made Bai Xi wonder whether Xiao Rui deliberately gave Wu Yaozong the news that she would go to the hotel for dinner tonight.

After all, when she felt that this might be a Hongmen Banquet, she communicated with him that someone might be needed to calm the situation.

"How could that be? Do I look like such a sinister person?"

You are not like it, you are it!

Xiao Rui's ambiguous answer confirmed Bai Xi's guess. He rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to him. But when he turned around, he saw his mother looking a little uncomfortable, so he spoke out to comfort her.

"Nannan, why do people change so much?"

After all, they have been sisters for decades, and they are all made of flesh and blood. Moreover, Xi Shuqiu herself is an emotional person. Even though she said such harsh words at the dinner table, she would still be very sad when she calmed down.

"Because we are moving forward. Things in the world are constantly changing, so people naturally have to go with the flow."

Bai Xi hugged Xi Shuqiu's arm, comforted his mother, and looked down to see the message from his aunt.

Looking at the messages in front of him, which all said, "We are wrong. Please forgive me," Bai Xi sneered, "Mom, you have to remember, they are not wrong. They are just scared."

“Can you imagine what would have happened if we had no background and no one to help us?”

There was silence in the car for a while.

Xi Shuqiu turned off her phone, and then her hoarse voice rang out, "Nannan, Mom knows."

Bai Weihua, who was driving, also breathed a sigh of relief. He was not good at expressing himself, so he had to rely on his own little one to comfort him.

"Hey, Nannan, how did you get to know Secretary Wu? Why did he ask you to let his son go?"

"Oh, this..."

Once the sad things were put aside, the family started chatting again.

......

"Huh~ Gossiping women are scary... No, gossiping men and women are both scary..."

As soon as Bai Xi got home, he used the bath escape technique and hid in the bathroom to wipe the sweat off his face.

She almost revealed the truth due to the constant questioning along the way, but fortunately she managed to get away with it. Although her parents were skeptical, as long as they had no evidence, they could only believe her one-sided story.

"Looks like I have to think about how to explain it. Otherwise, it's not going to be a good idea to keep it a secret."

Bai Xi started to take off his clothes and prepare to take a bath while he began to think.

At this moment, a long-lost mechanical voice sounded.

[Monthly tasks have been refreshed, please check as soon as possible~]

!!!

Bai Xi was stunned. The mission was finally updated!!!

She waited for a whole month!!!

She previously thought that the monthly task would be refreshed once a month, but who knew that it would take a month to refresh after completing the last task!

Without further ado, let’s take a look at what the task is.

As Bai Xixin moved, the familiar system virtual panel appeared in front of him, and a series of information began to flash across the screen frantically.

[Warm Tips: The host needs to complete all tasks before entering the refresh countdown]

After seeing the end, Bai Xi's face turned awkward and he felt a little embarrassed.

It seems like my complaints were discovered by the system boss, and this time he even installed a patch. Is he so smart?

But this time the mission reward seems to have something different.

Bai Xi slid his eyes up slightly and saw the reward for the last task.

Master-level Painting Skill Book: The master's brush moves across the canvas, his brushstrokes darting like dragons and snakes. Mountains, rivers, and figures appear at will, their natural charm breathtaking and unparalleled.

[After using this skill book, you can obtain master-level painting skills. ]

Bai Xi widened his eyes. No, can this kind of thing be obtained directly?

Forget about the previous Kunpeng unmanned bomber technology, which was at most science fiction and still within the scope of science.

But now a skill book has come out, and it goes straight for fantasy.

If she completes a few more quests, she won't be given some kind of immortal cultivation technique or something like that, right?
