Song Zhiyi watched Bai Fei's utterly clumsy acting.
He shook his head in slight disdain.
He shifted his body to the side again.
Bai Fei also noticed Song Zhiyi's actions.
His expression immediately froze.
This isn't right. Shouldn't my third sister be here to comfort me at this moment?
What's with that look of disgust and that movement to the side?
Third sister, you!
"Don't speak, step back, and save your energy for when you act in front of Mom, Dad, and my older sister. In our family, Mom, Dad, and my older sister are the ones who call the shots."
"You can't fool me. They're the ones who decide whether you stay or leave."
Bai Fei stared at Song Zhiyi.
Is this still my silly, carefree, and most easily fooled third sister in the family?
When did you become smarter?
However, Bai Fei was incredibly thick-skinned, and even after being exposed, he wasn't embarrassed at all.
Since you've been seen through, just stop pretending.
Third Sister is right.
The decision of whether he stays or leaves rests with his parents and his eldest sister, Bai Shuyun.
Especially Bai Shuyun.
Bai Shuyun controls the family's finances and holds absolute authority within the household.
Once my eldest sister has made a decision, it doesn't matter if my parents object.
Just then, the sound of car brakes could be heard outside.
Immediately following were the sounds of car doors opening and closing.
A moment later, a middle-aged couple entered the living room with a man and a woman.
All four of them are very good-looking.
The middle-aged man was Bai Nianshu's father, Bai Canghai.
Although she is over fifty years old, she has maintained a very good figure.
He was wearing a well-fitting, sharp light gray suit.
He exuded an air of scholarly refinement.
The middle-aged woman was Bai Nianshu's mother, Li Yun.
She wore a long black dress, exuding elegance and grace, with a kind and benevolent expression.
Behind the two was a tall woman with long hair, wearing a blue business suit.
She is the true head of the family, the eldest sister Bai Shuyun.
Beside him was the real Young Master, Bai Qi, whom they had just brought back.
Straight hair, white shirt, black jeans.
He was thin, like a stick.
There wasn't much facial fat; because he was so thin, his cheekbones appeared quite high.
It was just a pair of eyes, yet they were extremely bright.
I just don't know which school of thought this Young Master belongs to.
Is it a heartfelt expression, or Reckless Man outburst?
Just as Song Zhiyi was observing this family.
Bai Fei, standing nearby, started causing trouble.
He gave a pitiful look.
Carrying his luggage, he walked straight out.
" Xiao Fei, what are you doing?" Li Yun asked, frowning at the box in Bai Fei's hand.
Bai Fei first bowed deeply and earnestly.
Then, in a hoarse voice, she said, "Dad, Mom, this is me..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
It was interrupted abruptly by a clear voice.
"Stop!"
The sound was so loud that it instantly drew everyone's attention.
The one who spoke was Bai Qi.
" Bai Fei, you don't need to act!" Bai Qi's voice was calm and steady.
"I'm not..."
"Don't deny it, I can't be bothered to listen to your explanation." Bai Qi interrupted him again.
"I'm not here to steal your family fortune, and I won't be living in the Bai Clan."
Bai Qi's voice was loud and clear, and his pronunciation was very clear, as if every word could reach the heart of the listener.
" Xiao Qi!" Li Yun looked at her son, whom she had just found, with some surprise.
"President Li!" Bai Qi glanced at Li Yun.
Then he looked at Bai Canghai: "President Bai!"
"I'm only here today to familiarize myself with the place and, incidentally, to put you through a test."
Bai Qi's fingers circled around.
"A test? What kind?" Bai Canghai's voice was slightly deep.
"This is a test. Do you even deserve to be my family?"
Bai Shuyun sneered Taunt, "What right do you, a peasant from an orphanage, have to test us?"
Bai Qi shook his head. "Facts have proven that you are not qualified."
"If you truly considered me family, you wouldn't call me something like 'orphanage peasant.'"
"This proves that you, who are so high and mighty, really dislike me."
"And you are the pillar of the Bai Clan; your attitude is enough to represent the attitude of the rest of the Bai Clan."
"And you!" Bai Qi pointed at Bai Fei again.
"I just got back, and you're already putting on this runaway act."
"To be honest, your tricks are really laughable."
"You..." Bai Fei tried to say something, but was interrupted by Bai Qi again.
"Don't rush to deny it!" Ling Yi shook his finger.
I have two questions for you.
"First, if you really wanted to run away from home, why did you choose to do it now of all times?"
"Secondly, if you were going to run away from home, why was your suitcase empty?"
Bai Fei's face flushed red when his little scheme was exposed.
He stammered, unsure of what to say for a moment!
"This incident clearly shows that you are very confident that they will never kick you out."
"And you're equally convinced that by making this scene, you'll gain more sympathy and more care."
"They will have a bad impression of me because of this, or even feel disgust towards me."
Bai Qi took two steps forward and turned around.
This puts them directly in opposition to the entire Bai Clan.
"You know them very well, and you know how to manipulate them."
"You know that by doing this you can achieve your goal."
"That means their pampering and indulgence of you has reached a pathological level."
Bai Qi pointed at Bai Shuyun: "An older sister who hates her own brother."
He then pointed at Bai Fei: "An adopted son who acts and causes trouble every day, yet Preference his entire family."
"I can imagine that if I stay, my future days in this family will definitely not be easy."
"Therefore, you have failed the test, and you are not qualified to be my family for the time being."
After Bai Qi finished speaking, he shook his head and turned to walk out.
"I have other things to do. I'll come back in about a week to put you through another test."
Bai Qi spoke as he walked out.
" Xiao Qi, don't go!" Li Yun called out to Ling Yi in a trembling voice.
"You've misunderstood your older sister and Xiao Fei. They're just not familiar with you yet because you just got back."
"Besides, how are you going to survive out there all by yourself?"
Bai Qi's sneer rang out, "President Li, the way you're saying it, it's as if I'd die without the Bai Clan."
"I have hands and feet, I won't starve."
"Besides, I really do have something to do, I'm not joking with you."
"Don't come looking for me. I already know which way the Bai Clan's gate faces. I will come back when it's time."
Bai Qi walked further and further away, his voice gradually fading.
They quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
The family was left looking at each other in bewilderment.
"How could this happen?" Tears quickly streamed down Li Yun's face.
" Xiao Qi must have misunderstood something. I'll go find him and explain."
Li Yun spoke, she was about to chase after Bai Qi.
"Never mind, Xiao Qi is probably a bit insecure and sensitive because she grew up in an orphanage."
Bai Canghai stopped Li Yun.
"He'll come back when he runs into trouble outside."
Hearing her husband's comforting words, Li Yun's expression improved slightly.
"Let's leave it at that for now. Things will be fine once Xiao Qi gradually accepts us." Bai Canghai shook his head helplessly.
Just then, Song Zhiyi suddenly stood up.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going with Xiao Qi to check on him. If Xiao Qi's really in any trouble, I can help him out."
After saying that, he ran out quickly without waiting for anyone to react.
