late at night.

After Luo Sinian left, Bai Chuxiao lay on the bed, rolling from one side of the bed to the other, tossing and turning sleeplessly.

While tossing and turning, the phone on the bedside lit up. Bai Chuxiao reached out and took it out to see that it was Xi Shixiu who had sent a text message.

There are only three short words on it: Are you asleep?

Bai Chuxiao thought about it, edited a message and sent it back. After a while, Xi Shixiu made a call.

Bai Chuxiao pressed the call button, and Xi Shixiu's clear voice came from the earphone.

"Dawn?"

"Well, it's me."

Xi Shixiu seemed to chuckle slightly, "Why are you still awake so late?"

"I don't know, my mind is sleepy, but my body has a mind of its own."

Xi Shixiu over there smiled very face-saving: "Chu Xiao, you are still so interesting."

This sentence brought Bai Chuxiao back to five years ago.

At that time, she didn't have any friends around, and the only companion was Xi Shixiu, but Mrs. Bai forbade their contact because he was the least favored child of the Xi family.

At that time, Bai Chuxiao already had a sense of rebellion. On the surface, he didn't get too close to Xi Shixiu, and they had nothing to do with each other. In fact, they talked quietly every night.

Xi Shixiu was not taken seriously in Xi's family, so not many people would chat and joke with him, but Bai Chuxiao was on the contrary. Mrs. Bai paid too much attention to her, and directly excluded all "unqualified" friends around her.

Those "qualified friends" in her eyes are boring one by one. Bai Chuxiao finishes class with them every day, and complains tens of thousands of words to Xi Shixiu when she goes back at night. sentence.

The days in the Bai family were actually very difficult, but because of the existence of Xi Shixiu, when Bai Chuxiao recalled it, he felt that those times were not so unbearable.

She was still thinking about going to the same university as Xi Shixiu, but before she could receive the admission letter, she was kicked out of the Bai family and sent abroad.

How has he been in the past few years without her?

According to those people, he is now the head of the Xi family.

He must have put in a lot of hard work and painstaking efforts to climb from an unappreciated child to his current position, right?

As soon as this idea came to mind, Bai Chuxiao thought about it, and asked slowly, "Brother Shixiu, how have you been doing these past few years?"

"fine."

Not too good actually.

Bai Chuxiao disappeared out of thin air, and he couldn't contact her no matter what, so he ran to Bai's house, wanting Mrs. Bai to tell him where Bai Chuxiao went.

But Old Madam Bai's face was as frosty as frost and her heart as dark iron, she refused to reveal a word, and after that, he didn't even see the old lady's face again.

Obviously not going to tell him.

Xi Shixiu knew that Mrs. Bai wanted to stabilize the position of the head family, because he was not favored in the Xi family, and the chance of being able to inherit the Xi family in the future was very low, so he was simply excluded.

He has no ambitions for the position of Patriarch, nor does he want to fight for it, and he also feels that such a fight between brothers is unnecessary.

But this time, he sensed the power of power.

As long as Mrs. Bai didn't tell him, he would have no choice but to wait for Bai Chuxiao to come back.

Because he has no bargaining chip to exchange, because Bai Xia is a person who only looks at benefits and power.

It was because of this incident that Xi Shixiu started his own struggle for the position. It took him three full years to pass all the way and finally climbed to the position of the Patriarch of the Xi family.

But he still couldn't find Bai Chuxiao, and the Bai family completely sealed off the news. It wasn't until Wan Furong told the inside story after being rejected by him one day, that he knew that Bai Chuxiao had been kicked out of the house.

In the vast sea of ​​people, it is not easy to find a person whose whereabouts have been tampered with.

"Chu Xiao, let's meet tomorrow, okay?" Xi Shixiu recalled these years carefully, with a relaxed tone, "Let's celebrate our reunion."

Bai Chuxiao hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

She actually has a lot to say.

"good."

On the other side, Bai's house, in a certain study.

Bai Ye looked at Bai Ruowei opposite him with hatred, feeling like he was going to have a heart attack.

"This is the good strategy you said?!"

Bai Ruowei was frightened by Bai Ye's gloomy voice, she trembled a bit, and said somewhat dissatisfied: "What's wrong with me..."

"What on earth did you ask Zhou Han to do? Why was she discovered?!"

Before the banquet was over, Zhou Han was thrown out "expatriate" including his luggage.

To put it nicely, it is called "expatriation", but it is actually "exile".

People like Zhou Han know too many things about the Bai family, so if something goes wrong with this kind of person, in order to prevent her from going out and leaking secrets, the Bai family has always found a reason to throw people to a place where no shit Take care of it.

Bai Ruowei lowered her head: "It's nothing...just let her trick Bai Chuxiao back..."

"Oh, you asked Zhou Han to trick Bai Chuxiao back in Bai Xia's name, and then let Xu Jiaxin rush forward to expose her scandal, so that you can expose Bai Xia's lies all these years in front of everyone, right? "

Seeing that her father understood her, Bai Ruowei nodded sharply: "That's right, that's how it is!"

"You still dare to nod your head!?" Bai Ye was almost so angry that she gave up, "You don't even look at who you want to punish, just make such a little preparation, you think Bai Chuxiao is you ?!"

Bai Ruowei was immediately blown away by this sentence: "Father, how can you say that about me!?"

"Hmph, if you were half as capable as Bai Chuxiao, we wouldn't have such a difficult journey."

Bai Ye has always been very dissatisfied with Bai Ruowei.

Apart from her pretty face, this daughter is really useless, and her mind is even worse.

That Bai Chuxiao was brought up by a thousand-year-old fox like Bai Xia all the way, and his level of treachery is many times higher than that of Bai Ruowei, who doesn't have a brain.

This Bai Ruowei actually thinks of simple schemes all day long? Nonsense!
