Lin Xiangwan was stunned. Although Xu Mingfei's situation had improved greatly these days, she really didn't understand why she wanted to see Baili Tong. Shouldn't she be disgusted with that person?
"Are you sure you want to see him? If there is anything you are worried about, I can answer it for you, Ming Fei."
"I want to see her." Xu Mingfei's attitude was extremely firm, "I have something to say. I want to ask him personally."
Lin Xiangwan couldn't resist her and had to make arrangements. Compared to her reluctance, Baili Tong was obviously much more excited. From the time she made the call to the time he came, it didn't even take half an hour.
Lin Xiangwan was originally worried about the two of them being alone together, but Xu Mingfei pushed her out of the room with a smile and locked the door.
Baili Tong felt that his heartbeat was very fast. It had been a long, long time since anyone and nothing could give him this feeling of accelerated heartbeat and adrenaline secretion. Xu Mingfei was the most special existence to him, even though they grew up together.
, but for this girl who has long been tired of looking at her, he always feels as if he is seeing her for the first time. He can't explain the original intention of his feeling. He just wants to keep getting closer to Xu Mingfei, like collecting a precious item.
Like a precious treasure, he carefully hid her in a museum open only to him.
"Are you looking for me?" Baili Tong thought that Xu Mingfei called him here because there was something wrong with her attitude, or simply because she had forgiven him and wanted to leave here with him. After all, she grew up in Baili's family.
Her bedrooms are bigger and more luxurious than this floor. How could she get used to living in such an ordinary place.
"Yes, I have something to ask you." When Baili Tong stared at Xu Mingfei, she was also looking at him. The more she looked at him and the closer she got to him, the less she found that she understood this man. She once thought he was arrogant,
His arrogance was only shown to those who looked up to him, but only today did she understand that he was like this to everyone.
She once thought he was kind, but it was just because she was too humble. She didn't even realize how humble she had been facing him.
Until all this happened.
"If anything happens, we can talk about it when we go home." Baili Tong stepped forward, stretched out his free hand, and waited for Xu Mingfei.
But Xu Mingfei didn't hold his hand as usual. On the contrary, she took a step back.
"Home? Where is my home? My home... was completely burned down by a fire when I was four years old. Baili Tong, let me ask you, do you know what happened to my mother that year?
Why?"
She had a good voice, but it was already difficult for her to speak for such a long period of time. Her throat was dry and slightly painful.
Hearing her ask this, Baili Tong's brows narrowed involuntarily, "Why are you asking?"
"You just need to answer me. If you don't answer, then please leave."
Xu Mingfei's firm attitude surprised Baili Tong, because for a long time, she had always obeyed his words and never resisted. But when she thought of her experience, Baili Tong suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and replied, "What happened that day
Haven't you already found out what happened? Someone broke into your house and killed your mother by mistake. My father and I happened to be nearby. We heard your cry and rescued you. As for your mother,
He died because rescue efforts failed."
In a few words, her past was swept away. For her, this was an eternal nightmare, but for Baili Tong, it was just a trivial matter that she did not want to recall.
Xu Mingfei heard the perseverance in Baili Tong's voice. She chuckled and said, "Then can you tell me who those bad guys are?"
"How do I know this?"
"How could you not know how the Baili family could adopt a little girl of unknown origin, then train her to be a successful person, and make her a candidate for the mistress of the family? Baili Tong, let me ask you one last time
, what exactly happened that year.”
Her eyes were as calm as water, too calm. Instead of the gentleness of the past, she looked a little cold.
The alarm bells rang in Baili Tong's heart, and he said unhappily, "What do you mean by this? What are you suspecting?"
"I'm wondering...my mother's death that year was not at all because of some gangsters breaking into the house, but because of...the Baili family's plan...all of this was done by you, right? Even the reason why you did this
Appearing nearby was also planned...because children trust the most, not adults...is that right?" Every time Xu Mingfei said a word, her throat felt like a knife slicing, but she refused to stop.
, "Baili Tong, I will only ask you this once, and I will only ask you this last time in my life. You have to think of how to answer, and don't let me down."
To say she was disappointed might be a luxury, but she had actually been desperate for him for a long time.
But even if she was desperate, she still wanted to give him a chance. Not for anything else, just for the more than twenty years and her unwavering waiting.
Baili Tong gritted his teeth. He really didn't want to discuss this matter with his successor, but seeing that Xu Mingfei was so conclusive and seemed to have sufficient evidence, if he continued to quibble, he would probably embarrass both of them, so
He said cruelly, "Yes, I know about this from beginning to end. The people who went to your house back then were sent by your fourth uncle, and your mother was also killed by his people. You want to ask me why? I'll tell you
You, not for anything else, just because of your mother's ability. Your mother is a good connoisseur of antiques, but she is unwilling to work for the Baili family. The fourth uncle sent people to invite her several times, but she did not agree to work for Baili.
The family was doing things at home, so the fourth uncle finally became angry. As for me...although I know about this, I never wanted to harm you, and I also saved your life, so you really shouldn’t doubt me!"
"Really? So, you are a good person, and I should be grateful to you?" Xu Mingfei smiled lightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "If it weren't for the fact that I am my mother's daughter, would you have saved me? Otherwise
Because of my eyes, how could you take the risk of being killed by your uncles and bail me out? Baili Tong, do you think I am a fool? I have supported this family for you all these years.
For nothing else, just for you...and for you, why do you keep me by your side?"
"Even if you raise a dog, after raising it for so many years, the dog has been loyally guarding the owner, and the owner will not easily drive it away. But you, after you have used me, just kick me away, I
To you, I'm not even as good as a dog." Xu Mingfei said, her body trembling slightly. Baili Tong thought she would cry, but she didn't. She kept smiling, even if her voice was hoarse and choked, she didn't drop a drop.
tears.
"Xu Mingfei...you don't have to belittle yourself like this...you know you are not, you are in my heart..." Baili Tong wanted to defend, but at this moment his language suddenly became pale and weak. You can't blame him, this is just
Because of habit, and because of so many years, he never told Xu Mingfei his true feelings. He always thought that Xu Mingfei would follow him as long as he was there. He never thought that one day, she would leave him.
"How do I feel about you? If I had even the slightest place in your heart, you should tell me these things. I have sold my life for you for so many years, but you don't even want to tell me the real cause of my mother's death. You
Are you afraid that if I find out, I will leave in a rage? But why don't you think about it, the fire can't be contained in the paper. One day, even if I don't learn these things from you, someone else will tell me.
Li Tong, have you never thought about what I would think of you if I learned about these things from others?"
"What do you think of me? Do you still want me to apologize to you for this? I told you, I didn't do this! Are you stupid? How can you believe what others say? Why are you so stupid?
?!"
"I'm stupid! If I wasn't stupid, how could I still hope that you would rescue me after others kidnapped me!!!!" Xu Mingfei's voice suddenly became sharp, and her cheeks were filled with anger.
He turned red with shame, "I thought, whether it was because of the fact that I have risked my life for you all these years, or because of my relationship with you... you should always make some efforts... but I really
I didn’t expect…”
"I didn't expect you to be so cruel. You really just let it go... However, I should also thank you. If it weren't for your indifference, I might never know the cause of my mother's death, and Ze's death."
…”
"What did you hear from others again? What does this have to do with Ze?!" Baili Tong also felt very angry. He stepped forward and pressed Xu Mingfei's shoulders, pressing her against the wall to prevent her from moving.
Xu Mingfei's attitude towards him at this time made him feel as if he had been bitten by a pet he had tamed by himself.
Painful and angry.
"Ze's car accident... was also caused by you." Xu Mingfei said this lightly. In her opinion, Baili Tong's behavior said everything. When he was unwilling to face the problem, he
Wen likes to push his opponents into corners and use strong momentum to dodge his opponents' attacks. She no longer has any expectations for Baili Tong. What she wants now is to understand this matter, and then...
Then no……
"Do you really think that I was responsible for the car accident?" For some reason, Baili Tong's voice suddenly became deeper. He tightened his grip on Xu Mingfei's hand, and Xu Mingfei felt a huge pain in her shoulder. She gritted her teeth.
He replied, "Yes."
"Haha... Since you think so, let's forget it. I was responsible for the car accident, and I also killed Baili Ze. If I kill him, I can legitimately become the heir to the Baili family, and I can monopolize it.
Your gaze, that’s what you think.” The man’s gaze was deep and dark, like a black hole hiding in it, trying to devour people mercilessly. Xu Mingfei only felt a cold feeling coming from the palm of his hand,
