After Bai Qiming finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Since ancient times, Jiangjing has been the capital and the economic center of Asia.
Most of the major families that have been inherited in the country are in Jiangjing.
With Jiangjing as the center and the four cities in the southeast and northwest as secondary areas, a powerful and aristocratic circle with clear distinctions has been formed, which is still an insurmountable chasm.
Almost everyone has been working towards Jiangjing University since birth, an institution that represents status.
And Xiangcheng——
There is a small border town with everyone, a bunch of international fugitives roaming around, and countless people disappearing every year. Most of them receive a fixed salary, and that's it for the rest of their lives after entering that town.
Bai Qiming naturally didn't think Bai Zian would go there.
The businessman is very profit-oriented, and the relationship between him and Jim Mulan is worn away day by day.
Bai Zian's status is declining day by day.
Even an ordinary family can't handle a bowl of water evenly, let alone a wealthy family like the Bai family.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have noticed that Bai Zian would have left the Bai family long ago.
The servant downstairs was also nervous when he received the call. He didn't understand what Bai Qiming meant and just looked at each other.
Where can they find another eldest lady?
After a while, the servant who answered the phone went upstairs nervously and knocked on the study door.
"Where is she?" Bai Qiming glanced at him.
The servant was about to cry, "Miss, she, she..."
Butler Bai was at the side. His voice was hoarse and his eyes were complicated as he explained: "Sir, the eldest lady... left for Xiangcheng that night."
As for the ancestral hall, she didn't even look at it.
The study instantly fell into an ice cellar.
"Okay, it's really good!" Bai Qiming's face was as dark as water, and he said indifferently: "Since she is so stubborn, let her move her household registration out. From now on, whether she lives or dies, whether she has honor or disgrace, it will all depend on my Bai family.
It’s irrelevant.”
It's not like Bai Qian never had troubles in the past. At that time, Bai Qiming and Ji Mulan would sometimes spoil her, but now, could she think too highly of herself? Do you really think that the Bai family went back to Xiangcheng to invite her back?
Bai Qiming was so angry that he naturally couldn't hide it from others.
Soon, the most senior grandfather in the clan found out about this.
"Forget it, don't worry about it, let her seek happiness on her own," as long as Bai Shaoke is still on the family tree, the Grand Duke waved his hand and didn't care: "It's just a pity that the apprenticeship invitation is like a cow chewing peonies."
When the Bai family knew about Bai Shaoke's existence, the Taigong visited the thatched cottage three times before inviting Bai Shaoke back to the Bai family. However, Bai Jian's departure was not painful at all for the Bai family.
In the hearts of Taigong and others, Bai Zian is not even as good as that apprenticeship invitation.
**
When he received the news from the Bai family servant, Bai Zian had already arrived at his uncle's community.
She crossed out the message nonchalantly.
Bai Qian's uncle lives in the old town of Xiangcheng. Unlike the high-rise buildings in the center of Beicheng City, the community is very old.
My uncle's family lives on the fifth floor. There is no elevator and the stairs are dark.
When she knocked on the door and went in, her aunt stood up in a skirt to greet her. Her eyes were obviously meant to please, and she reached out to pick up Bai Xian's suitcase. "A Xian is here. Why didn't you call and ask me to help you pick up your luggage?"
Bai Qian didn't give it to her, so her aunt smiled and stepped back.
Bai Zian raised his eyes and said, "Hello."
A lazy but unusually prominent face.
Aunt Ji instantly felt that this dilapidated home of 100 square meters and the dark staircase were incompatible with her niece.
"Eat first, Aji. This is your grandpa. You probably haven't seen him before. Your uncle is still teaching students to draw and won't come back until evening. Do you remember uncle..." Aunt Ji has always been very enthusiastic and introduced to Bai Jian again.
Grandpa sitting on the sofa.
Bai Zian's eyes fell on her grandfather.
Her grandfather, Ji Heng.
In the memory of the original owner, Ji Mulan had a bad relationship with the Ji family, and he only came back once in so many years. Ji Mulan stood at the door and waited for a long time.
Ji Heng did not open the door at that time and did not see them.
This is their first meeting.
Ji Heng sat on the fabric sofa, looking at the TV playing the news. He had reading glasses on his nose. The coat he was wearing was starched and white, but embroidered with extremely delicate patterns. His back was straight, and he was holding an old-fashioned cigarette in his hand.
Rod.
Auntie went to the kitchen. After a while, Ji Heng said in a low voice, "Has your mother contacted you in the past two years?"
Bai Jian looked at the delicate lines on his body, lowered his eyes and sat on the sofa with his legs crossed. He looked well-behaved and harmless, but his fingers were circling the red ribbon, "No."
The original owner's mother has been out of sight for two years.
Ji Heng nodded, lowered his head and took a puff of dry cigarette silently, without saying another word.
Bai Zian sat obediently for a while. Seeing that no one was looking at her, she just leaned on the sofa and lazily took out her mobile phone to read the news.
The lunch was very sumptuous, all with the taste of white rice.
"Has your student status been transferred?" Ji Heng asked in silence.
"It's being processed. It will be transferred in two days."
"Well, wait until your uncle comes back and ask him to help you contact the teachers at Xiangcheng Middle School."
My aunt felt something was wrong.
"Student status? What student status?"
"I transferred to Xiangcheng to go to school." Bai Qian only ate a few mouthfuls of white rice. She put down her chopsticks and said, "I left the Bai family."
Auntie's mind was buzzing, "Li, what does leaving mean?"
Bai Qian took out a piece of paper and wiped the corner of his mouth, and said calmly, "It means that I am being kicked out and my registered permanent residence must be moved out. I can't go back."
"What?!" Aunt Ji's voice was a little sharp, "What about your dad?"
Bai Zian looked at her obediently with a "what do you think?" look.
She didn't see the joke on Bai Zian's face.
My aunt didn't eat much. She was so absent-minded that she didn't know what she was thinking. She couldn't help but take out her mobile phone and search for it at the dinner table.
I don’t know what I saw on the news. She looked bad and didn’t even wash the dishes.
Uncle Bai Pian came back very early. Before he could say hello to Ji Heng, his aunt took him to the room.
The soundproofing was not very good, and my aunt's voice could be heard faintly in the room, "Ji Shaojun, did you already know that she was going to live here and asked me to prepare a room for her?"
"Keep your voice down," Uncle Ji lowered his voice, "Dad and A'li are outside——"
"But don't look at how big our family is..."
After a while, two people came out.
"Okay," Ji Heng picked up the pipe that was put aside and knocked it on the table. The sound was very loud. There was no expression on his wrinkled face. He lowered his head and lit the fire, and the smoke blurred his expression:
"Asian, go to my place."
Ji Shaojun looked at his father and opened his mouth. He knew that once Ji Heng made a decision, no one could influence it.
My aunt was also stunned for a moment.
After a while, he smiled and stroked his hair, "Dad, shall we have dinner here?"
"No," Ji Heng blew out a smoke ring and looked towards Bai Zian, "Go back with me."
Ji Shaojun was one step behind Ji Heng, and when others left first, he looked at his wife, "Shen Qing, listen, listen to what you just said? She just came back today, do you think these are appropriate?"
After being together for many years, his wife was not without emotional intelligence. He didn't understand why she deliberately let Ji Heng and Bai Pian hear that.
"I'm telling your dad specifically that your family members all have the same moral character. If you don't talk to your heart, your dad won't understand at all." Shen Qing picked up the rag and sarcastically said.
She was very upset.
She also knows all about this niece's virtues, including fighting, racing, and clubbing.
Ji Mulan had a falling out with Ji Heng when she was eighteen years old. No one in the Ji family knew that Ji Mulan had married into a wealthy family. Shen Qing had secretly seen it from Ji Shaojun's mobile phone before.
The Bai family has never recognized Ji family, a poor relative, and they have never been to Xiangcheng once.
She originally thought that when Bai Zian returned to Xiangcheng, she would be able to hang out with the Bai family.
Who would have thought that Bai Zian, who had the same character as Ji Mulan, had a falling out with her rich father.
"Let me ask you, she is in her senior year of high school like Wan Xuan, right. If she can't pass the exam next year, should we continue to support her? One Ji Mulan, one Ji Shaorong, why don't you let them help you and help her clean up the mess?" She said more and more The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, and he added: "Everyone in your family is more noble than the other, but how can the noble be eaten? No wonder the Bai family likes that illegitimate child."
"This is not arrogance, but the bottom line," Ji Shaojun opened the door and looked at Shen Qing before going downstairs, "Also, don't compare that illegitimate child with Aji."
Shen Qing stood there and threw the rag into the pool with a cold face.
Did she make a mistake?
Bai Qian's biological mother abandoned her like a worn-out shoe, so she gave birth to a good child and had the protection of the family. How about the highly intelligent illegitimate son of the Bai family?
She didn't understand, what were Ji Heng and Ji Shaojun insisting on?
**
Outside.
Ji Shaojun strode after the two of them and silently went to pick up Bai Pian's box.
Bai Pian paused for a moment. She looked at Ji Shaojun for about ten seconds before letting go.
Ji Shaojun resisted and picked up the box.
Bai Zian looked at his back for a long while before putting on his hat.
She followed the two of them, holding her phone and slowly searching for something she was interested in. Someone at the top of the phone sent a WeChat message. It was a friend of the original owner. She returned to WeChat.
The original owner didn't have many friends, most of them were rich second-generation people who were just hanging around and waiting to die. This was the only one who contacted him in the past two days.
Dog Friend: [What’s going on with your fiancé?]
As she said this, she sent a screenshot.
Bai Zian clicked on the picture, which was a screenshot of the circle of friends.
[Bai Shaoqi: This is the price of looking down on others (naughty) [Picture]]
The accompanying picture shows her noble fiancé standing sideways and cleaning the glass with a rag.
It can be seen that Bai Shaoqi has a wide circle of friends and is very popular. Below are a bunch of likes and comments from people.
Who in Beicheng doesn't know Song Min, the third young master of the Song family in Beicheng?
——I’m glad to hear that we, Mr. Song, have descended to earth.
——It has to be you, goddess!
——Haha, insiders said that Mr. Song never believes in evil, but has he forgotten that you, Shaoqi, are Senior Bai’s biological sister~
——Yes, he thought Shaoqi was the young lady who didn’t last a day in our international class and was too bad at science, so our head teacher couldn’t bear it and sent her to study literature!
