Bai Shixun had just thought about saying something else, but after being glared at by the old man, he could only turn around and leave.
Elder Bai looked at Fang Ziqian. “Ziqian, now that Shixun has stepped out… Tell me, do you really not know who the woman in this magazine is?”
Fang Ziqian shook her head firmly. “I really don’t know!”
Elder Bai frowned.
“To be honest, when I saw this photo this afternoon, at first glance, I thought that this person was you! She does seem a little like you from the looks of it.”
Instantly, Fang Ziqian became nervous and quickly laughed dryly. “Elder Bai, surely you’re mistaken? The person the Second Young Master is dating is either a female celebrity or an internet celebrity. So, how could he be interested in someone like me? The girl in the photo is obviously a hundred times prettier than me!”
Hearing her say this, Elder Bai’s expression relaxed a little.
“So, it’s really not you then?”
“Of course it’s not me! How can I possibly be with the Second Young Master? He’s the type I hate the most!”
Fang Ziqian made a solemn vow.
Then, Elder Bai stared at her for a while and nodded. “I understand, you may leave now then. Call Shixun to come in on your way out.”
Fang Ziqian heaved a sigh of relief when she knew that the crisis was over.
Actually, she did not want to lie to an old man.
However, Elder Bai had always hated women who tried to seduce Bai Shixun. So, if he knew that she was the one on the cover of the magazine, he would be very disappointed.
After that, Fang Ziqian turned around and walked out of the door.
The moment she walked out, she almost bumped into Bai Shixun.
“You…”
She raised her head in surprise.
When Bai Shixun came out, he didn’t close the door and deliberately left a crack in the door instead.
‘Then… Did he listen to what I said just now?’
Bai Shixun was expressionless and didn’t even look at her. Instead, he grazed past her shoulder as he went into the president’s office.
“Grandpa, is there something else?”
Master Bai had an expression of “I’m disappointed” on his face.
“You should be more careful in the future! Look at Yichen and Tingyuan, look at how grown their children are… It’s time for you to stop fooling around already!”
“Understood, Grandpa.”
“One more thing. Send someone to send Xinxin out of the country tomorrow.”
Bai Shixun was stunned. “What? Is this the Mu Family’s request?”
Elder Bai shook his head and sighed, “The Mu Family hasn’t mentioned it, but we can’t feign ignorance! This is for Xinxin’s own good. With her current mental state, it’s hard to guarantee that she won’t do something drastic again. When that happens, you won’t even be able to protect her! So, it’s better to let her go on a vacation abroad and calm herself down.”
Bai Shixun thought for a moment and nodded. “I’ll get someone to do it right away.”
…
At the mental illness rehabilitation center in the suburbs of T City, Bai Xinxin was wearing a light blue hospital gown and was leaning against the headboard of the bed.
Her face was pale, her expression haggard and her eyes were frighteningly dark.
All in all, she looked lifeless, who could still tell that a month ago, she was still China’s number one supermodel?
After hearing the decision conveyed by the assistant, Bai Xinxin screamed in agitation, “No! I refuse to believe that Grandpa would do this to me! I don’t want to go abroad! I don’t want to stay here, let me out!!”
The assistant then frowned, “Young Miss, calm yourself. The Old Master is doing this for your sake. You’ve been working hard these past few years and are too tired, so it’s a good time for you to rest.”
“No, I can rest in China too! Why must I go abroad? I’m not going! You must be deliberately trying to harm me. I want to see Grandpa! I want to see my brother!” Bai Xinxin was still unwilling to obey.
‘That little slut has caused me so much harm, I haven’t gotten my revenge yet.
‘How could I just leave just like this?’
Hence, the assistant shook his head and said, “The Old Master hasn’t been well recently. Second Young Master is also busy with official business and can’t come for the time being. After you’ve rested abroad for a while, the Second Young Master will come visit you.”
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now.”
With that said, the assistant turned around and left.
Bai Xinxin shouted a few times as if she was venting her anger, but because no one responded, she could only stop.
Seeing that everyone had left, she took out her phone from under her pillow and pressed a few buttons.
After a while, the call went through.
Then, she shouted excitedly, “Weiwei, is that you? It’s me, Sister Xinxin! You’re the only one who can help me now!”
