Bai Zhen frowned as he looked at his nephew with mixed feelings.

To be honest, her brother-in-law's luck with the government had always been very good. When her sister had just gotten married, she could already see some signs of it.

The Li family and the Bai family were considered to be in the upper echelons of the dynasty. However, the Bai family had done a lot of meritorious services, but had lost all their members. The father of the Bai family was the youngest brother in the entire family, and he had been a scholar ever since he was a child.

Li Yugeng's grandfather was one of the brothers who cared for him in every way. However, the father was a scholar, and he was only interested in learning. Plus, he had two daughters, so he had no interest in politics. Thus, the 'Hundred Clans' gradually declined.

When Bai Qianqian had gotten married, her father had been left in the countryside, unable to return home even once a year. Later, Bai Qianqian gave birth to Li Yugeng, and somehow fell into postpartum depression. Back then, people didn't know much about that problem. In addition, because of her husband's political inclinations, Bai Zhen was unable to protect herself. For fear of implicating her family, she rarely contacted her sister.

Thus, Bai Qianqian's problem fell.

When Father Li returned from his stint outside, he found his wife unable to sleep and her hair falling out. It was already too late.

She grew thinner day by day, and in the end she had an odd temper, too, and often lost her temper. As her father was not at home, Li Yugeng became her target.

One day, Li's father came back to see her furiously beating her son with a feather duster. Li Yugeng gritted his teeth and unexpectedly, he showed a submissive attitude. Seeing that his son's back was covered in blood, the wife seemed to have lost her mind, becoming more and more ruthless. He could not hold it in any longer and went forward to grab the feather duster.

This was the reason why he decided to send Bai Qianqian to the hospital.

This circle couldn't hide anything. At that time, people couldn't tell the difference between mental and neurological departments. In short, people were fearsome. When everyone looked at Bai Qianqian with a strange expression, she became more and more silent, and her illness became more severe.

Sometimes she would be in a good mood, and one day she would hold her son in her arms and read a picture book and whisper to him that the fog of London, the snow of Switzerland, and the boatmen of Venice, the boatmen, were enough to see this beautiful city of water.

When the weather was clear, she would find her old dancing dress and her dancing shoes and put them on. She would comb her hair into a high bun, then put on soothing music and dance as if she were still on stage.

Of course, she would lower her head and be as docile as the most affectionate girl on the Seine, murmuring moving words to her husband — recalling the romance she had known.

However, no one knew how long this happiness would last, because in the next moment, she would become ill, go hysterical, smash up everything in the house, and curse at the most vicious words in the world. Some people even had to tie her up because she would hurt them.

Until Li Yiyi arrived.

When he brought his comrade over, he was still a little apprehensive. However, he didn't expect that Bai Qianqian would especially like this child.

She named her Yi Yizhi, Yizhi Yizhi, which is from the Book of Songs. In Xiao Ya.

She loved this little girl very much. Even though her body was extremely weak, she still took some time to read stories to her every day. Li YuGeng quietly listened from the side. Enjoy a rare moment of peace and quiet.

On the day Li Yuyi was one year old, Bai Qianqian committed suicide.

She ended her young life in a very sad way.

The bathtub in the room was filled to the brim with seven parts of water. She had changed into her favorite costume, and her hair was combed high like a proud swan's. But this swan would never lift her neck again.

Because of the deep cut on her wrist, her blood dyed the entire bathtub red.

That was the last time Li YuGeng, who had come back from school, saw his mother.

He was severely ill, and from then on, the quiet youth became even more silent. Bai Zhen had caused trouble once, but the person who left was completely gone and the person who stayed was still living. She had originally wanted to take both Li Yugeng and Li Yeyi with her, but her father definitely wouldn't allow his son to leave, so she took Li Yeyi away as the child was still young.

The two families would meet up several times a year, and even if they didn't meet for the rest of the time, they would still be in contact. Bai Zhen Zhen's industry had made it to this point. They had their own hard work, but it was not impossible to say that they didn't have the relationship of Li's father. It was hard to say why her brother-in-law had raised his position so quickly, but she had never helped out before.

In short, Bai Zhen Zhen felt that her brother-in-law's promotion was good for both her family and her nephew, but he was also worried that Ye Wu Chen would climb up too fast. There would come a day when he would abandon them.

With this mindset, she slowly opened her mouth. "Yogg, do you know who your mother worries about the most?"

Li Yugeng was stunned when he suddenly mentioned his mother.

Bai Qianqian took advantage of the victory to pursue her. "I'm the only one in the Bai Family left, and your mother has hardened her heart to keep us both alive. "No matter what Aunt Xiao does, it's for your own good. Sometimes, adults have their own difficulties, and I can't tell you guys too clearly. However, you just need to remember that I won't harm you."

It was rare for her to make her words so clear.

"Aunt." Li YuGeng opened his mouth.

"You will always be my aunt, and my father will always be my father. You are both my family, so this doesn't conflict with me."

He understood Bai Zhen Zhen's meaning, but he would never be able to understand it as clearly as she did.

Of course, he knew that Bai Zhen Zhen Zhen wouldn't harm him, but what about Yi? Just because it wasn't from his mother, could he use it to make a weight?

Had no one ever asked Yi Yi what kind of life she wanted to live?

Her current dreams had been imparted to her by everyone. Even when she wanted to marry Lin Mubai, she had been influenced by him since she was young, so she was like this.

Then, what about me compared to Lin Mubai?

Who would my aunt be more partial to?

The reason why he didn't want to think too deeply about it was because of this. There were many things that would hurt if the truth was revealed.

"Cousin and I have grown up. In the future, this family will be ours to bear. As for Yi Yi, we all regard her as our own sister, so no one wants her to suffer any grievances. "

As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Mubai.

After Lin Mubai received the message, he spoke up, "Mom, I've already agreed with Yogg. You don't need to worry about this matter."

"Good, good, good." Bai Zhen saw that the two of them were not obedient, and his face turned pale, his eyes were red, "How old are you two? You two have your own ideas, but I was just blindly worrying about it. In the future, all of you can go through with it. I'm just saying those words, just remember, no matter what I do, it's all for your own good. "

After the two brothers walked out of the door, Li YuGeng had only taken two steps when he heard Lin Mubai call out to him from behind.

"You." Lin Mubai gritted his teeth and finally said, "Treat her well. She's a good girl."

Li Yugeng was surprised for a moment, then understood what he meant. He raised his eyebrows and said, "I already knew that."

Then he walked away.

Lin Mubai smiled wryly as he watched Lin Ming's departing back.

Why? She had clearly found out that she was the best, yet she had lost to him in the end.

He turned and entered the house, only to find his mother still sitting there with an unfriendly look on her face.

"How's the project going?"

When Lin Mubai heard this, he immediately understood. He told her about his loss and the people Li YuGeng had introduced him to, as well as his current operation and his uncle's help. Only then did Bai Qianzhen feel slightly better.

Bai Zhen's mind suddenly opened wide. "Tell me, could it be that your uncle wants to marry Yu Geng and Yi Yi?"

"Mom." Lin Mubai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was convinced by Bai Zhen's brain and asked, "What are you thinking? Can you tell me that Yu Geng has a girlfriend?"

"Ah, when, why didn't I know? Which family's daughter is she from? " Bai Zhen immediately started to gossip, "Look, your cousin is already looking for a girlfriend, how long are you going to be like this? If you really don't like Yizhi, then hurry up and find me some proper ones. Don't mess with those low-class celebrities. Our Bai family will be disgusted to death when we get back."

"Mom, don't you like to watch 'Wu Zetian' the most? "It seems like the broadcast is about to start." Lin Mubai quickly turned on the TV and the TV just happened to show Wu Meiniang being abused by the nuns in the Sensory Temple. Bai Zhen's sight was instantly attracted over and it was only then that Lin Mubai was released.

After driving home, Li Yugeng found his house empty. Only then did he remember that Li Yuyi had said that he would stay at Cao Xiaolan's place for the night.

Sigh, when would he be able to stay the night as well?

He didn't know whether it was because Lin Mubai had been working on the Tianhai City project with Shang Yin, or because Li Yugeng's words had worked. In short, Bai Zhen hadn't come back yet. When Lin Mubai had brought her things back, he had added in quite a few of the new bags that Bai Zhen had brought back from France.

There was also a platinum Hermes bag. If this was a normal situation, Bai Zhen Zhen would definitely control it, because she knew that her bag was so freakishly expensive, but she didn't expect to actually buy her the most expensive one.

"Did your mother send this?"

Li Yuyi still hadn't changed her words. She still called Bai Zhen her mother. Her neck was curled up and her eyes were filled with excitement, but there was still a trace of disbelief in them.

This platinum bag was worth two hundred thousand yuan. It was practically a bone ash collection! Bai Zhen Zhen had bought her a bag before, but it was no more than twenty thousand yuan.

"Shh." Lin Mubai extended a finger and mysteriously said, "I bought this bag. Don't let them know."

No matter how rich they were, if they spent two hundred thousand to buy a bag, it would probably be said.

"Ah!" Li Yiyi was stunned as he looked at Lin Mubai. These few days, he had finally understood a bit. Although he knew that Lin Mubai truly didn't like him, he still felt a bit sour about it.

Giving her such an expensive bag right now made her even more reluctant to take it.

"I just took down a big order, this is my present to you." Lin Mubai smiled as he reached out to touch her head. Seeing the pure expression in her eyes, he recalled Li Yugeng's words and retracted his hand, "I was in the wrong that day and can be considered as an apology. If you accept this, then forgive your brother. Don't ignore me in the future."

Li Yuyi muttered, "How could I be so stingy? I've long stopped being angry."

His voice wasn't loud, but Lin Mubai heard it too.

"That's good, it's not a waste of my effort to buy it for you."

"Didn't Platinum Packs say they were all queuing up for appointments?" Li Yunyi also had Herm s, but it was not as expensive as this. After all, she was still a student, and not alone. Herm s, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Selene, and the general public, she liked them all.

The word 'cure all diseases' was born for her.

Otherwise, why now in the arms of this Herm s platinum bag, feeling the pain of the loss of a lot of diluted.

"Yeah." Lin Mubai smiled, "But our little princess likes it, so I will do everything I can to get it over here."

"Mu Bai, you're here."

They only realized that their father had returned. Afraid that he would be discovered, Li Yuyi quickly called out for his father before running upstairs, leaving Lin Mubai to face their father.
