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

Song Yanxi looked at him quietly for a while, then turned and left.

"Yanxi, don't leave, I really didn't drug you..."

Bai Lian became more and more excited. She knelt and crawled over to catch him and prevent him from leaving.

Song Yanxi didn't look back, and strode out of the room regardless of the pleading calls behind him.

Bai Zhongxu's face was livid. He couldn't stand it any longer. He slapped Bai Lian awake and restrained his embarrassing behavior.

Chu Yanyi left the room and chose to leave instead of staying in the banquet hall.

Wen Zhizhi noticed his departure and caught up with him as he went down the stairs.

She walked over and leaned slightly closer, whispering to Chu Yanyi: "Shine, did you do it?"

Chu Yanyi admitted generously: "I did it." His tone was as calm as if he was saying that the weather is nice today.

Wen Zhizhi couldn't hide his surprise and widened his eyes: "Bai Zhongxu really did something as bad as a beast like letting someone drug you?"

Chu Yanyi said "hmm" softly and strode towards the door.

"Hey, why are you walking so fast?" Wen Zhizhi quickly asked from behind: "Tell me, how did you know what Bai Zhongxu was doing, and how did you drug the three of them?"

"I installed a bug in Bai Zhongxu's study and overheard it." Chu Yanyi said truthfully: "As for the three of them, it was not me who drugged them. I just spent money to bribe the Bai family's servants to make them switch sides. Just use the things that were originally used on me and your cousin, and treat them in their own way."

Wen Zhizhi said hesitantly: "The medicine in Bai Ziyu's hands was really given by Xiao Bailian?"

Chu Yanyi shook his head and said, "No."

Wen Zhizhi was stunned and confused: "Since it's not Xiao Bailian or you, then who gave Bai Ziyu the medicine?"

"Bai Ziyu originally planned to drug me and make me look embarrassed at the banquet. When I found out, I asked someone to change the wine."

"It turns out that he brought it upon himself." Wen Zhizhi suddenly asked, "You deliberately blamed Xiao Bailian for this, because you wanted to sow discord between their brothers?"

"This is just one of them."

Wen Zhizhi was curious: "What is the second one?"

Chu Yanyi was silent for half a second: "Let Bai Zhongxu be suspicious of Bai Lian."

After Bai Lian returned to China, Bai Zhongxu, in addition to using his popularity to endorse the company's clothing, did not arrange for him to enter the company to study, indicating that Bai Zhongxu did not intend to delegate power so quickly.

Bai will not let go of his control for at least the next ten years.

In order to prevent his son from usurping the throne, emperors in ancient times were on guard and suppressed him at all times. For Bai Zhongxu, who was not ready to delegate power too early, he would be somewhat suspicious of Bai Lian and would no longer trust him as before.

Wen Zhizhi was not stupid and quickly figured out the reason.

After walking out of the gate and arriving at the parking lot, she couldn't help but ask: "Did Xiao Bailian really drug himself and my cousin?"

"He just drugged your cousin, not himself."

"Ah? How did Xiao Bailian get the medicine?"

"The glass of wine originally meant for your cousin was exchanged for Xiao Bailian."

"That's it!" Wen Zhizhi patted Chu Yanyi on the shoulder and sighed with a smile: "The Bai family wanted to plot against you, but you plotted back quietly, killing three birds with one stone. I believe tonight Afterwards, the Bai family will definitely become the joke of the entire upper class circle. Shine, you are so good! You are as cunning as a fox!"

Chu Yanyi smiled and was noncommittal.

Wen Zhizhi wanted to say something else, but there were footsteps behind him, and his pace was a little hasty, as if he was chasing the two of them.

After Chu Yanyi noticed it, he subconsciously turned around and met Song Yanxi's profound eyes.

Wen Zhizhi turned around and realized it was his cousin, and shouted: "Cousin."

Song Yanxi stared at her hand on Chu Yanyi's back shoulder and narrowed her eyes slightly.

Noticing the subtle change in his expression, Wen Zhizhi quickly pulled back his hand and smiled coquettishly.

Song Yanxi wanted to say something, but Chu Yanyi had already turned around, took the car key from the waiter, pressed the unlock button, and asked Wen Zhizhi, "Have you driven here?"

"It's open..." The words came to his mouth, but because of Song Yanxi's glance, Wen Zhizhi changed his words abruptly: "My car was hit by a car last week, and it is still under maintenance."

Chu Yanyi looked at her doubtfully: "Didn't you say the day before yesterday that you had taken care of it and drove it back?"

"Haha, really? Did you hear it wrong?" Wen Zhizhi pretended to be dumbfounded. Knowing that he was poor at acting in front of Chu Yanyi, he simply snatched the car key from Chu Yanyi's hand: "I'll drive away in your car." Now, let my cousin take you back."

She quickly got into the car, without giving Chu Yanyi time to react, stepped on the accelerator, and drove off.

Chu Yanyi: "..."

Qiu Liang, who was waiting in the car, drove the car forward a few meters with great discernment, got out of the car and opened the back seat door.

"Master Chu, please get in the car."

Chu Yanyi stood still. Song Yanxi walked up to him and said in a soft voice, "I will take you back."

The night in early spring was a bit cold. Chu Yanyi didn't wear much today. The night wind blew through, sending chills through his body.

The Bai family villa was located in a remote location, so it was inconvenient to take a taxi. After thinking about it, he finally got into Song Yanxi's car.

He relaxed his body and leaned back, changing into a comfortable sitting position. The shirt he had unbuttoned earlier was not buttoned up, revealing a section of his white-skinned neck.

As Song Yanxi got into the car and sat down, the originally spacious back compartment instantly became narrow, and the air was filled with the unique woody aroma and cool cedar fragrance exuded by the man.

Chu Yanyi's hanging eyelashes twitched and he casually turned his head to look at the place beside him.

When his eyes met Song Yanxi's, he was completely surprised, as if he didn't expect the man to be staring at him.

However, Chu Yanyi had no idea of ​​saying anything.

When he noticed the man's eyes falling on his neck, he frowned slightly.

When Song Yanxi saw his gaze, she pursed her thin lips slightly, showing a somewhat unhappy expression. She gradually moved her gaze upwards, staring into his eyes for a moment: "You are really afraid of asking someone to replace Bai Lian's drugged wine." Are you offending me and implicating the Bai family?"

Hearing this, Chu Yanyi replied without hesitation: "No."

"What's that for? Is it because you care?"

Song Yanxi stared at him steadily, looking forward to the answer.

Chu Yanyi was stunned for a moment, his bright black eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth: "What do you think?"

Song Yanxi knew it was impossible, but there was a faint sense of expectation in his heart.

"I don't know, I want to hear your answer."

"Listen to my answer?" Chu Yanyi repeated the second half of his sentence and asked in a very calm tone: "Are you sure you want to hear my answer?"

Song Yanxi's eyes burned brightly: "Yes."

"If you really have a relationship with Bai Lian, it will be extremely detrimental to me if he uses this to get you to help the Bai family when I deal with the Bai family."

Even though he already had the answer in his heart, Song Yanxi's heart still felt a little astringent when he heard it with his own ears.

"I told you a long time ago that I will no longer help the Bai family."

Chu Yanyi was silent for a moment, and then said: "You said it, but I won't believe it."
