Chapter 4: Chapter 4

Bai Lin waved her hand nonchalantly and went upstairs to get her luggage. Then, she simply left with it.

Bai Xi hurried after her and grabbed her arm. “Jiejie, it’s all my fault. Don’t get mad with mom and dad. It’s so hot outside given it’s in the middle of the day now…”

Bai Lin held Bai Xi’s wrist and pushed it away with an unshakeable force. She looked into Bai Xi’s eyes and told her flatly, “Stop pretending. Aren’t you tired?”

It felt like a prick to Bai Xi’s heart.

Bai Xiao could not bear it anymore and shouted at her back, “Don’t ever come back if you dare step out of this door! Don’t even think about the Bai Family giving you any more benefits!”

“Benefits?” Bai Lin did not stop walking. “Don’t bring up things that don’t exist,” she said. “It’s embarrassing.”

After Bai Lin left, Bai Xiao grabbed the glass on the table and smashed it. “Unfilial brat! Is she blaming us for not raising her?!”

“Dad, someone like her is nothing without the Bai Family. She’ll have to come back and admit her mistakes sooner or later. I think she’s just putting up an act,” Bai Shao sneered, “She’s afraid that we don’t regard her, so she’s deliberately making a scene and waiting for us to go coax her.”

Zhao Yuan poured a glass of water for Bai Xiao and comforted him, “She’s raised like a wild child and hasn’t been to school properly. No one’s taught her either. We’ll educate her slowly in the future.”

Bai Xi reeled back her tears at the right time and chorused a few words of comfort as well. Then, she returned to her room with suppressed rage.

What right did a good-for-nothing like her who was inferior to her in every way except for her face have to speak to her like that? When Bai Lin returned, she wanted her to apologize to her in tears!

…

Bai Lin went straight to Linghe No. 1 after she left.

Linghe No. 1 was located strategically where land was expensive. The cheapest apartment there could cost 500 million Yuan, and it was the gathering place of the most famous, powerful, and wealthy people in the country.

Bai Lin was stopped by the security guard at the entrance. The security guard looked at her suspiciously. “Hello, please show your pass.”

It was only then did Bai Lin remember that she seemed to have left the key card at the Bai Family’s mansion.

Seeing that Bai Lin did not respond immediately and that she did not dress like a rich person, the security guard said impatiently, “I’m sorry, you’re not allowed to enter without proper procedures here.”

He looked at Bai Lin with a hint of disdain.

There were many big stars living in Linghe No. 1, and there were often extreme fans and paparazzi who came here to stalk them. They would even come up with all kinds of methods to forge passes to enter the residence. The last security guard was fired because of this.

The girl was obviously a newbie who did not even know to put up an act.

Bai Lin felt a little awkward as well.

Her third brother had always kept a place for her at home. If it was not for her grandmother, Bai Lin would never have returned to the Bai Family.

She thought that she should just buy a house and not stay at her brother’s place for convenience’s sake to prevent this kind of situation from happening again.

She took out her phone and made a house-viewing appointment. While she was waiting for a reply, the security guard’s patience ran out and he warned, “If you don’t leave now, our security team will have to force you to leave.”

“Meimei

?”

A deep and pleasant voice came from behind Bai Lin. She turned around and looked in the direction of the voice.

The man was handsome and tall with wide shoulders and a slim waist. There was a small reddish mole under his left eye, which added an enchanting charm to his already noble and elegant temperament. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Bai Lin’s eyes curved as she grinned. “San-ge

.”

Next to him was the Li Family’s young master, Li Xuan. Unlike Zhou Guang’s genteel and grace, he was more like a playboy who flirted around having flings—and that was the truth.

The number of women in the entire City A who wanted to date Li Xuan could probably make lines that went around the provincial capital’s highway for one to two laps.

Li Xuan was pleasantly surprised to see Bai Lin. “Didn’t you say you’d be back on the 28th? I was still waiting to pick you up.”

“Granny urged me, so I came back as soon as possible,” Bai Lin said.

Zhou Guang’s gaze landed on a stray strand of her hair and he naturally tucked it behind her ear. “Why are you waiting here? Did you lose your key card?”

Bai Lin nodded. Much to the security guard’s shock, Zhou Guang quickly hugged Bai Lin and asked affectionately, “You’ve lost weight. Did you not eat properly?”

“It’s not that,” Bai Lin replied with a smile. “But I’m a little hungry. Do you want to eat together?” After a pause, she looked at Li Xuan. “You’re buying.”

Li Xuan’s lips curled up into a smile. “I knew you were going to extort me. The table at Emerald Pavilion has always been reserved. Let’s go.”

The three of them chatted and laughed as they left. Hidden in the shadows of the bushes not far away, a high-definition camera recorded the moment when Zhou Guang and Bai Lin hugged.

Once Zhou Guang and Bai Lin’s high-resolution photos appeared on Weibo, they immediately took over four of the top ten most searched spots.
