Chapter 1: Narrow Escape ([-])

Qi Shaohuan left under the escort of Lady Lo, and then she came back and said professionally, "Master Gu, Mrs. Gu, the room for the two of you is on the second floor, and the room for the two entourages is on the third floor."

Xia Lingyi looked at it and asked again, "What about you?"

"Ye Chun is not worthy of living here. We will live nearby and follow the arrangements of Young Master Gu and Mrs. Gu at any time."

Xia Lingyi was surprised, this is simply a maid, Xia Lingyi looked at Gu Yibei, Gu Yibei immediately understood.

"Don't be so troublesome, there is still space on the fourth floor, the three of you can live upstairs."

"No, no, Young Master Gu, this is against the rules. Ye Chun has his own place."

Ye Chun quickly refused, evading and saying that he could not stay here.

Gu Yibei's expression turned cold, he shook his phone and said, "I don't mind calling Young Master Qi and changing to a maid."

When Ye Chun heard this, his expression was extremely flustered, and he said quickly, "Ye Chun is obedient, you must not call the young master."

Xia Lingyi looked at Gu Yibei's handling method and just wanted to support his forehead.

Walking up to Ye Chun's side, he took her hand and said, "Don't be too extravagant, he has no malicious intentions, you just stay here, I still have a lot of questions I want to ask you."

After speaking, Xia Lingyi led her to the stairs, and Ning Yun followed behind.

Only Gu Yibei and Xu Jing were left behind with helpless faces, shaking their heads and following.

After arranging the salute, Xia Ling Yibian also placed the photo of her mother that she brought out from Xia's house.

Gu Yibei looked at her movements and gradually lost expression, he put his arms around her shoulders, and said softly, "Auntie is really beautiful."

"Since we've come to the imperial capital, maybe I'm going to visit my grandfather."

When she mentioned grandpa, her eyes were a little lonely. Since her mother passed away, she hadn't seen grandpa for a long time.

The memory of my grandfather still stays in the stern and unsmiling appearance when he was young.

Seeing him sitting in the Bai family, even though the descendants of the Bai family are now going their separate ways, the Bai family is still an unshakable position in the imperial capital.

So the head of such a family naturally doesn't always have a smile on his face.

Seeing Xia Lingyi's expression, Gu Yibei said calmly, "Actually, I forgot to tell you. As early as in Yichuan, I asked Xu Jing to contact Master Bai."

Xia Lingyi raised his head and looked at Gu Yibei, he continued, "After the old man lost his aunt, his whole body is getting older, and most of these descendants are not around, so I made a private appointment tomorrow to visit Bai Father."

Xia Lingyi didn't know how to thank the man in front of her, as if he was involved in everything about her.

But not too much involved.

Xia Lingyi wrapped her arms around Gu Yibei's neck and said softly, "How can I thank you?"

One blushed, the other smiled.

Under Ye Chun's leadership, Gu Yibei and Xia Lingyi were brought to the White House.

Because the ancestors of the Bai family have been in politics, Mr. Bai is honored as Bai Lao. Hearing that Bai Lao is unwell, more visitors come to his house.

And they were not in a hurry, they just wanted to wait until the old man was willing to see them.

Sitting in the living room of the Bai family compound, Xia Lingyi had very few memories of this place, naturally even some of the servants did not remember Xia Lingyi as Miss Sun.

Xia Lingyi was not busy either, and waited quietly.

Gu Yibei held her hand tightly by his side and waited with her.

After a long time, it was already afternoon, and the figure of old man Bai was not seen even after lunch.

Xia Lingyi joked, "I remember, I also waited here for a whole day when I saw you."

Gu Yibei shook his head with a smile, and pampered her nose.

"If I knew at that time that you had changed your temper, I would definitely run towards you."

Xia Lingyi raised her eyebrows, "How is it possible, you are Young Master Gu."

Gu Yibei heard that she deliberately hurt him, and leaned his head on her shoulder, "Okay, it's my fault. There won't be a next time."

Looking at Gu Yibei who looks like a child, he really doesn't fit in with his cold expression.

Their flirting is a kind of disrespect in the eyes of the servants, and passing by also looked at this side with disgust.

Gu Yibei didn't care about other people's eyes, and leaned firmly on Xia Lingyi's thin shoulders.

After dinner, the guests also dispersed, and they were the last visitors.

The servant announced, "You two, it's getting late, the master hasn't eaten yet."

Just as the servant came down to report, Bai Gelin came down.

He coughed twice and interrupted the servant, who then said, "Master."

Bai Gelin looked at Xia Lingyi and was stunned. Xia Lingyi also noticed it and stood up.

Bai Gelin's eyes were attracted by Xia Lingyi, and he didn't leave for a long time, his eyes flashed like tears.

The servant reminded, "Master, you"

Bai Gelin withdrew his gaze, coughed a few times to cover up his emotions, and said to the servant.

"Let them stay for a light meal together."

The servants were also very surprised, even though the Bai family was crowded, they had never seen the master had dinner with anyone.

For 20 years, even those grandchildren are just waiting for the master to eat before serving.

What is the origin of these two people?
Despite the many questions, the servant still followed Bai Gelin's words and stepped forward to invite him.

"Master, please move to the restaurant."

"I'm sorry." Gu Yibei responded politely.

Xia Lingyi looked at Bai Gelin's back, just now when he looked at himself again, he had also looked at him.

The face similar to his own mother was full of vicissitudes.

Time has never spared anyone, even the grandfather who is like a great man in her heart.

Under the leadership of the servant, the two entered the dining room.

The layout of the restaurant is incompatible with the whole villa.

It's a completely different style of decoration.

The servant arranged the seats for the two of them and left to prepare the dishes.

When Bai Gelin saw the two, he picked up the chopsticks and started eating without saying a word.

The two had no choice but to sit down and eat quietly with Bai Gelin.

The quiet atmosphere made the three of them very embarrassed. After eating a dish, Bai Gelin put down his chopsticks and said, "Are you married?"

If it came suddenly, it seemed so abrupt in the huge restaurant.

Xia Lingyi also put down her chopsticks obediently, and nodded with a smile.

After getting an affirmative answer, Bai Gelin also nodded.

"The Gu family controls the fate of the company. They are responsible and capable, and they are worthy of entrustment."

Although such words were indifferent, they were a kind of praise to Xia Lingyi.

Mr. Bai was honored as Mr. Bai, and he was a very powerful figure in the emperor. The praise he said was naturally an affirmation and recognition of a person.

When Gu Yibei heard this, he obediently put down the bowl and chopsticks, raised the wine cup, and toasted politely.

"Thank you Bai Lao." After finishing speaking, he drank a cup.

When he put it down, Bai Gelin also raised the wine cup beside him, but he drank all the nutrient juice in the cup.

Gu Yibei was ecstatic, and Xia Lingyi also had a drink with him.

"You came here because something happened at home?"

After hearing this, Xia Lingyi just shook her head, "Maybe I need to stay for a while."

"Where does he live?" Bai Gelin asked lightly.

"Grandpa, don't worry, his friend has already arranged a place for us."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Bai Gelin's eyes, and he picked up the chopsticks as if nothing had happened.

"Since I'm going to live for a while, I'm lonely here, and the food at home is more delicious than outside."

Xia Lingyi was secretly delighted that grandpa didn't hate her because of her father's affairs, but asked herself to spend more time with him.

"When the granddaughter is settled down, she will definitely come to accompany grandpa from time to time."

After hearing this, Bai Gelin didn't have too much expression on his face, but his eyes showed joy.

Then with a solemn expression, he said, "I also know about Yichuan, he"

Xia Lingyi knew that what Bai Gelin wanted to ask was about Xia Zhiming's safety, "He accompanied his grandfather to country M to recuperate."

Bai Gelin nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Grandpa, your body"

Xia Lingyi was anxious to know how Bai Gelin's body was, so she asked anxiously.

Bai Gelin just waved his hand indifferently, "It's just old age, saints are still rare, how can I live long."

Said, Bai Gelin laughed at himself.

Hearing these words, Xia Lingyi felt sour in her heart.

Seeing that Bai Gelin has long been bearish, all she can do is to accompany him more.

After eating dinner indifferently, he accompanied Bai Gelin for a few more laps in the yard before planning to leave.

Even though Bai Gelin said that he wanted to take a break, he still looked at the backs of the two of them for a long time.

Ye Chun waited outside all day, Xia Lingyi got into the car and lowered her head.

She knew very well that Bai Gelin's body was shrinking day by day, and the matter of wanting to raise a child but not being with him was out of her control.

Her mood also became sad.

Gu Yibei hugged her in his arms distressedly, relying on his own temperature, gave her enough sense of security.

In the following days, Gu Yibei worked as a risk consultant in Qi Shaohuan's company and helped Qi Shaohuan win many projects.

With the help of Qi Shaohuan and Mr. Bai, Xia Lingyi also owned his own company, and the legal person of the company was Gu Yibei.

The company mainly invests in construction, which is close to the Xia Group.

In half a year, they have already gained a certain reputation in the imperial capital.

In the hands of Qi Shaohuan, he bought the four-storey villa and had his own small home.

The news quickly reached Xia Moting's ears. She didn't believe that there would be someone with the same name as Xia Lingyi, so she sent her staff to investigate Xia Lingyi's company.

Naturally, Gu Yibei couldn't hide this matter.

He had expected this a long time ago, so he let Xia Moting's subordinates come in and out of the company at will.

As for Xia Lingyi, she continued to do her job well.

Relying on the unbearable memories of her previous life, Xia Lingyi obtained a lot of first-hand information.

The children of these aristocratic families, famous families, often have some shameful things.

Xia Lingyi knew all these things, even though she got them in such an environment.

It also played a key role in her flying growth.

Sometimes even Gu Yibei was surprised, how did Xia Lingyi know such information that even he might not be able to find out.

Xia Lingyi prevaricated by acting coquettish and cute.

They devote themselves to work every day, but they don't forget that they will dine with Mr. Bai in the White Mansion every day after get off work.

On this day, after Xia Lingyi had dinner with Bai Gelin, Bai Gelin wanted to go out on a whim.

Xia Lingyi was naturally full of joy and followed Bai Gelin's wishes.
