Jiang Chengyu saw that Bai Ruowei had changed her words, so she looked away.
He has no feelings for this woman Bai Ruowei, if not for the accident that night, he would never have noticed her.
It's just that he was the one who wronged her that night, so Jiang Chengyu will try his best to make it up to her.
Power, status, resources, he can give her many things she wants.
However, he won't give her affection, and he doesn't like women to make their own decisions.
Anyone can see her intentions, she just wants to use him to suppress Bai Chuxiao.
Bai Xia stretched out her hand and took Bai Chuxiao's hand gently, and patted it comfortingly: "I'm afraid you misread it, we Chuxiao have been abroad all this time, how could you see her?"
Feeling the wrinkles on Grandma Bai's hands, Bai Chuxiao felt complicated.
No matter how well maintained it is, the traces of time are still there.
It was true that the old lady was strict with her, but not always so strict.
The first two years were really difficult. At that time, she knew nothing. To become a decathlon young lady in a short period of time, she needed to put in 100,000 efforts.
But after the transformation was successful, it was another scene.
Maybe it's because we've been together for a long time and developed some feelings. Bai Xia also took care of her when she was sick, and found that she would turn a blind eye and close one eye when she was doing something that was not "every lady". Stop berating her again like you did at the beginning.
In the beginning, they were mostly strict, but later on, their relationship was closer to that of ordinary grandparents. She would occasionally try to act coquettishly with her and make demands in private.
Because of this, Bai Chuxiao was so shocked when he heard that she was about to be kicked out of the Bai family.
She thought they were family already.
Mrs. Bai drove her out of the Bai family with her own hands, and directly killed her. During the five years abroad, she kept thinking that maybe what Mrs. Bai needs is a well-behaved and perfect pawn, not a real granddaughter.
Only in this way can we explain Mrs. Bai's behavior of driving her out of the Bai family without saying a word.
But now she couldn't understand it.
Is the old lady protecting her like this to protect the face of the Bai family, or just... to protect her?
Bai Xia has eaten more salt than she has eaten rice, and she can't see clearly what this old man is thinking.
It is precisely because they have had many tender moments that she can't be cruel to the Bai family.
Bai Chuxiao took a deep breath, held Mrs. Bai's hand instead, and said with a smile, "Grandma, actually, my cousin may not be mistaken."
"I have indeed returned to City S, and I have been back for a long time."
As soon as these words came out, everyone beside Bai Chuxiao was stunned.
Jiang Chengyu's brows were tightly furrowed.
What's the matter with this woman?
He kindly helped her out of the siege, but this woman actually jumped into it by herself?
Bai Ruowei burst into ecstasy, and couldn't suppress the corners of her lips that were curled up on her face.
The seasoned Bai Xia was also surprised by Bai Chuxiao, who didn't know how to cooperate for a while. Bai Chuxiao shrugged and said helplessly, "I finished the foreign courses ahead of schedule, so I went back to S City first."
"I didn't tell you all the time, because I wanted to see what kind of achievements I could have without relying on the Bai family. The gift I gave you today was bought with the money I earned."
"Oh, I wanted to do this in secret, but it's a pity." Bai Chuxiao glanced at Bai Ruowei, whose expression was slowly stiffening, "I didn't expect to be seen by my cousin. If this is the case, then I'll just say it, so as not to save others Misunderstand."
Although Bai Ruowei changed her words temporarily, after the words were heard by interested people, they would definitely come to check her whereabouts.
There are too many traces of her life in S City, which cannot be erased at all.
Instead of waiting for someone to dig out her old background, it's better to take the initiative and complete the lie by herself.
And it's not like she's completely lying, she's really trying to make money in S city to support herself.
"So it is!"
"Miss Bai is really amazing and ambitious."
"Now there are not many people who do not rely on their families."
"It's really young and promising to be able to earn so much money at such a young age."
Jiang Chengyu watched Bai Chuxiao solve such a crisis with a few words, and hummed softly in his heart.
Heh, he almost forgot that this woman is full of tricks.
Bai Xia's expression was complicated when she heard what Bai Chuxiao said.
"Silly boy, there is no better home outside. I think you might as well come home."
Bai Chuxiao's words caused tens of thousands of waves in her heart, but she couldn't show it, she could only vaguely say: "I just want to exercise myself, I have been here alone in foreign countries, isn't it handy in S City? "
If she didn't think about it, this should be a hint to her that she can go back to Bai's house, right?
But she is not alone now.
She has Bai Linye by her side, and has a real blood-connected family.
Bai Xia looked at Bai Chuxiao quietly for a while, then sighed secretly.
It seems that this child is unwilling to come back.
"Outside, a person pays attention to safety and health."
Bai Chuxiao pursed her lips: "I know."
Halfway through the banquet, Bai Chuxiao looked at Mrs. Bai and Jiang Chengyu who were caught by the guests, and found an opportunity to sneak out.
When Bai Xia was talking with someone, she kept looking at Bai Chuxiao from the corner of her eye. Now she saw her sneaking out of the door with her waist down, her eyes were complex, until Bai Chuxiao's back disappeared at the door, She just looked back.
"Okay, I'm a little tired too, you young people, take your time."
A group of people surrounded her, their faces full of flattery and flattery. She had watched this scene for nearly forty years, and it gave her a headache.
"The old lady is going to rest now?" Jiang Chengyu on the side heard this, with a smile that was not a smile, "It's rare to see each other, I still have some questions to ask the old lady."
For example... What happened to Bai Chuxiao back then.
Bai Xia raised her head, and looked at Jiang Chengyu for a while, both of them saw in each other's eyes... questioning.
"Come with me, I also want to ask you about Ruhong's recent situation."
