"Xing'er is still so shy. It's not like I've never seen her before." Bai Jing smiled as he handed over my clothes. He even laughed as he scratched the bridge of my nose. I blushed again. I felt myself blushing more and more.
Only when I was fully dressed did I realize that I was in an unfamiliar environment. The decorations of this bedroom were simple and elegant, and it was still pretty good. The furnishings in the room were all very particular, and it didn't look like anything ordinary.
"Bai Jing, this is your Bai Clan's old residence." I remembered what Bai Jing had said about showing me his house.
"Yes." Bai Jing answered simply.
I looked around and the room wasn't big, it was similar to Bai Jing's villa, "Your house is pretty low-key, not like my great-uncle's." When I thought about the first time I saw that ancient fortress, I couldn't help but shiver. The ancestor of the Xiang Family had such a strong temperament, a house that was built so arrogantly.
"Although the Bai Clan is also one of the aristocratic clans, I am the only one in charge. Therefore, it is useless even if the house is big. Furthermore, I also live here often."
"But since it's one of the aristocratic families, then shouldn't the aristocratic families be a large family with a long history? You can manage the Bai family by yourself, so how did you turn it into a big family?" I fiddled with the things in the room and asked Bai Jing curiously.
"The Bai Clan mainly deals in business, and mainly deals in antiques, so as long as I can bring out antiques to suppress them, it's fine. As for management, I've found a few capable assistants in the mortal world and they're responsible for the entire enterprise. I don't even need to manage it."
"You are really a free agent." I smiled.
Seeing that it was already dark, I stayed over at Bai Jing's place for the night. When I called my mother, her voice was filled with excitement and excitement. I silently mourned for myself in my heart. My mother really despised me.
The next morning, Bai Jing got the driver to take me home. The time in the Underworld was different from the time in the mortal world, as it was reversed day and night, and Bai Jing had to go back to the Underworld to deal with some matters. According to him, the ghost servant in the Underworld found that the River of Forgetfulness was moving, so he was worried that the ghost in the river might escape.
When I returned home, I unexpectedly met the man that was fooling around with Ye Ling in the garden that day. What I didn't expect, was that he had a face full of courtesy when she saw me.
"Cousin, why did you come back so early? Could it be that you didn't stay at home last night, but stayed out instead?" When he saw me get out of the car, he came over and smiled obsequiously. I looked at him and felt sick to my stomach.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" After all, he and Ye Ling were planning to harm me.
"I'm your cousin! I'm calling to Huai." He didn't mind my coldness at all. He still had a smile on his face. He looked like a modest young master, but he was also a hypocrite.
"How come I don't know when I have a cousin? As far as I know, my grandfather's generation only consisted of my great-uncle and his two brothers, and as for my father's generation, my great-uncle was never married, neither were there any girls or children. My mother was the only son of my mother, so we got infected with him and became relatives."
I am your distant cousin, so you naturally do not know about it. Furthermore, cousin sister, you have just returned to the Xiang Family, so you are not clear about the family's affairs. The man spoke word by word with an expression as if he was watching a good show.
He grew up in Xiang Family, and I also know that he's just jealous. He grew up in Xiang Family, but lost to a newcomer like me because he was born in a side branch, so I was unsatisfied and couldn't be bothered to argue with him since there were as many descendants of the Xiang Family as he said, and there were also a lot of people who were unconvinced. I didn't have the mood to argue with him, but since this guy approached Huai himself, I definitely wouldn't let him off so easily.
I smiled. My smile was very charming as I walked forward to get close to him. "Then I'll have to ask my cousin to take care of me in the future. After all, I'm not familiar with this place."
A trace of pride appeared in Xiang Huai's eyes, then he actually grabbed onto my hand. "Sure, sure. Taking care of my cousin is only natural. My cousin is still hoping that my cousin will speak a few good words for my great-uncle." After saying that, she shamelessly threw me a flirting glance.
Heavens, this is too disgusting. I forcefully withdrew my hand. "I'm going in. Cousin, please do as you please." Why would a man spray so much perfume on his body and smoke me to death? After leaving him, I hurriedly took a deep breath, feeling a little breathless. Also, isn't this man too narcissistic, based on his appearance, if he didn't have a famous brand supporting him, his appearance would be ordinary.
I don't get it, is Ye Ling so angry that she has turned stupid? She found such a man to deal with me, and the look in my eyes right now when I looked at Huai'er's forehead, is it naked?
"Cousin, don't walk so fast. Let's go in together." His voice was clearly low and hateful, as he insisted on speaking with a hanging voice. Listening to his words made people panic, but I walked even faster, so I hastily entered the hall.
My great-uncle was in the hall, talking to the butler. When he saw me come in, he gave me a kind smile. The butler said that my great-uncle was laughing even more than before since we came back.
"Great-uncle, good morning. Housekeeper, good morning." I said hello, and we smiled back.
"Cousin, why are you so fast?" Rushing toward Huai, I grabbed my hand as soon as I came in.
I looked at the hand that he was holding on my arm and remembered how he and Ye Ling acted in the garden. I felt a chill down my spine and hurriedly shook it off, but this fellow actually smiled and said, "Cousin sister, what are you being shy about?
How can there be such a shameless person in this world? His eyes only saw that I was shy and his skin was too thick.
"Xiang Huai, what are you doing? Let go of your hand." His great-uncle spoke with a displeased expression.
It seems that great-uncle doesn't like Xiang Huai, then why is Xiang Huai here?
Seeing his uncle's displeasure, Huai immediately released his hand. It seemed that he was still very afraid of him.
"If you want to stay here, you better behave yourself. If you want to reach out your hand to Xing'er, then scram." His great-uncle's attitude was tough as he pointed and scolded Huai.
