After faking his death, he stopped pretending to be a substitute.

When Bai Zhongxu returned home after the reception, Zhou Rou virtuously handed over the sobering soup, but he slapped it to the ground with a "pop".

Zhou Rou immediately complained aggrievedly: "I was worried that you drank a lot of wine at the reception, so I specially cooked hangover soup for you, but you... Zhongxu, I didn't make you angry. You met me at the reception. Why are you angry at me when things don't go your way?"

After speaking, she pretended to wipe the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Zhou Rou's appearance was exquisite and gentle, and her aggrieved and weeping look had a feeling of weakness, which made people feel pity for her.

If it were normal, Bai Zhongxu might have said a few words of comfort. But today, what Song Yanxi said made him really unable to feel any pity.

Bai Zhongxu ignored Zhou Rou's words and looked at Bai Lian with an angry face: "Xiao Lian, you have known for a long time that Chu Yanyi is Bai Lianyi, right?"

Suddenly hearing his question, Zhou Rou's face immediately flashed with an unconcealable look of panic, her fingers tightened the handkerchief in her hand, and her eyes subconsciously turned to Bai Lian.

Ever since Bai Lian told her Chu Yanyi's true identity some time ago, she had been feeling uneasy, fearing that Bai Zhongxu would find out about this and take Lu Yunxing and her son back to the Bai family, and the Bai family would no longer have a place of their own.

Compared to Zhou Rou's shock and panic, Bai Lian, who was sitting neatly on the sofa, seemed much calmer.

Now that Bai Zhongxu already knows about this, he can't deny it.

"Chu Yanyi did reveal to me not long ago that he is Lian Yi's younger brother."

Bai Zhongxu: "Why didn't you tell me when you found out?"

Bai Lian said unhurriedly: "I was only six years old when brother Lian Yi left. Now nineteen years have passed and I can hardly remember what he looks like. Although Chu Yanyi told me his identity , but I’m also dubious and not sure.”

"You have been looking for him in private these years. If I tell you rashly that if he is not Lian Yi's brother, but a deliberate impersonation by someone who covets the Bai family's property, it will only make your happiness in vain. I originally thought I will tell you this matter after the investigation is clear and his identity is confirmed."

He secretly observed Bai Zhongxu's gradually softening expression, and said tentatively: "Dad, did Chu Yanyi tell you about this tonight? Are you really sure that he is Lian Yi's brother?"

Bai Zhongxu frowned: "Chu Yanyi never came to see me. His identity was told to me by Yanxi tonight. After Yanxi found out his identity, he asked you specifically, but you denied it."

His voice suddenly became majestic: "Xiao Lian, you must understand that although Lu Yunxing and I are divorced, Lian Yi is still my son and a member of the Bai family."

Bai Lian's hand on his side was holding the sofa tightly, but his face was as gentle as jade: "Dad, although Yanxi said that Chu Yanyi is Lian Yi's younger brother, I think this matter still needs to be confirmed clearly. . The Bai family has a great cause. If someone with intentions wants to use the identity of the young master of the Bai family to do something unfavorable to the Bai family, the consequences will be disastrous. I hope you will be cautious."

Zhou Rou couldn't help but interrupt: "Xiao Lian is right. If Chu Yanyi was really that child, he would have returned to the imperial capital long ago. Why didn't he come back to meet you? He faked his death and then suddenly He showed up claiming to be the young master of the Bai family. Who knows where he came from? He pretended to be the young master of the Bai family, maybe in order to seize the Bai family's property."

Bai Lian said warmly: "Dad, I know you have been thinking about brother Lian Yi all these years, but before you let him return to the Bai family, you'd better go for a paternity test with him."

Bai Zhongxu was angry: "His face looks so much like Yunxing, how could he not be Lian Yi!"

"But……"

"Okay, okay, I have made my own decision on this matter." Bai Zhongxu stopped Bai Lian impatiently, got up and went upstairs to the study.

Bai Ziyu and Bai Jiaojiao were not at home, leaving only Zhou Rou and Bai Lian in the living room.

"Xiao Lian, if Chu Yanyi returns to the Bai family, he will definitely fight with you and Ziyu for the inheritance rights of the Bai family. What should we do then?" Zhou Rou looked worried.

Bai Lian had a stern face: "What I'm worried about is not that he will come back to fight for inheritance rights, but that he will destroy the Bai family."

"Destroy the Bai family?" Zhou Rou looked a little ferocious: "Although the Bai family suffered heavy losses from the incident three years ago, it is still one of the top 500 companies in the country. What can he do to destroy the Bai family!"

"Chu Yanyi can pretend to be dead to drive a wedge between me and Yanxi. Naturally, he will not be as easy to deal with as his mother. I heard from Xiuyuan that the Xingyi Building opposite the Song Group with a market value of at least 2 billion is His, the president of Mingshijue's China Region calls him the Second Young Master, which shows that after his mother divorced his father, he must have married someone with a very high profile."

Zhou Rou snorted disdainfully: "Apart from being a lover to a rich man or marrying a person who has half his foot in the coffin, who would be willing to marry a divorced woman with a motive?" Chu Yanyi has So what about the money? Do you really think he has the ability to bring down the Bai family? Xiao Lian, don’t worry too much. As long as your father is here, the Bai family will be fine. Even if something happens, Yanxi will be there. Three The Bai family was facing bankruptcy a few years ago, but it's still doing well now."

"Yanxi..." Three years ago, he could help the Bai family to save his life, but now that's not necessarily the case.

Bai Lian finally stopped speaking.

Zhou Rou said again: "Xiao Lian, why didn't you tell your dad what he said when he threatened you last time? If your dad knew about his wolfish ambitions, he might not let him come back."

"No one heard those words except me. If I said it rashly, my father would only think that we were narrow-minded and didn't want him to return to the Bai family. Because I concealed the fact that Chu Yanyi was Bai Lianyi, he had already told me I am very dissatisfied, and if I say those words again, it will only make him more dissatisfied with me."

"Then what should we do? Are we just going to sit back and watch that bitch's son return to the Bai family and take away everything we have now?"

Bai Lian's eyebrows twitched fiercely: "No, I will never let him succeed!" It's even more impossible for him to take Yanxi away!
