Cheng Yiyang kept staring at the phone, wishing that Zhou Ling could send him a few more messages, such as what happened to Bai Li now, what kind of injuries he suffered, and who did it.However, the phone is always silent.Four hours later, a phone call was expected, but the content had nothing to do with Bai Li.

"Doctor Cheng, do the math, I've lived with you for a month, shouldn't it be time to come back?"

Cheng Yiyang casually said, "He doesn't want to go back." He didn't even bother to make up an excuse such as the child's recent cold.

Zhou Ling's tone of inquiry was very kind, but Cheng Yiyang's attitude made him feel that he was still impolite.

"Whether you want to or not, you must come back. He is the young master of our Xie family, not your son."

"But……"

"Nothing but," Zhou Ling, who was always easy-going, suddenly became tough, "If you don't cooperate, I will take the bodyguards to your house to ask for someone. Doctor Cheng, don't forget that we have been lenient on you. You can change your guardian’s name to my young master’s last week, so you should understand that we are giving you time, not you. "

Cheng Yiyang had nothing to say.

"Tomorrow afternoon at the latest, you send the young master back by yourself, or I will take someone there."

Before Cheng Yiyang could say anything, he said to himself, "Okay, I still have something to do here, hang up."

Then there was a beeping busy tone.

Zhou Ling is actually not used to communicating with others in this tone, but Xie Juanting gave him too many and tight tasks, and Cheng Yiyang is particularly good at procrastinating, so he can't do it without being ruthless.Putting down the phone, Zhou Ling went to pack the young master's luggage for tomorrow's flight.

In the study, Xie Junting and Bai Li were there, the door was closed, and it was very quiet inside.

Bai Li was not familiar with Xie Junting, and when Tan Mu found him, he found out that his younger brother was sent to marry by the Bai family, and he didn't know whether it was voluntary or forced.Judging from the scene where the brothers were separated last time and Xie Junting dragged him away, Xiao Li was not very happy.

Therefore, Bai Li was somewhat on guard against the man in front of him.

"Mr. Xie, what do you want me to do?"

"Do you know Ritsu's whereabouts?"

"I don't know." The answer was very decisive, without any hesitation.

First of all, he really didn't know. To him, Ritsu seemed to be missing, and even if he knew, he wouldn't say anything.

Xie Juanting turned his head sideways, lightly tapped his fingertips on the table, seemed to be pondering something, and said after a while, "Do you know that he is dead?"

Bai Li opened his eyes wide in an instant, unable to believe what he heard.

Xie Junting repeated unmoved: "He died, and it was many years ago."

His heart trembled violently, the blood on his face faded, and he blurted out an "impossible".

I am so useless and lingering on my last breath and I am not dead yet, how could Xiaoli die before myself? !But the way Xie Junting spoke indifferently had a certain aura, and the words that came out of his mouth seemed unfaithful.

Bai Li waited for a long time, but Xie Junting didn't speak again, he couldn't hold it back after all, his nose was sore, and a string of tears fell down as soon as he lowered his eyes.

He quickly turned sideways and lowered his head, and wiped it away with both hands.

With Bai Li's meek personality, this kind of shocked and sad reaction probably couldn't be acted out. It seems that he didn't even know about Bai Lu's suspended animation, let alone participated in it.

A few probing words made people cry, but Xie Junting obviously didn't want to coax him, so he just added: "Maybe it's a suspended animation."

Hearing this, all of Bai Li's movements froze, and for some reason, at that moment, he inexplicably thought of the strange doctor he saw that morning.But at that time he hadn't been able to connect the two.

After a while, after making sure that there were no tears on his face, he slowly raised his head, "Why do you want to fake death?"

Xie Junting didn't shy away from it at all, and straightforwardly stated the real reason, "Because he wants to get rid of me and the Xie family."

"Why did he use this method to get rid of it?"

People who don't know the inside story will indeed ask this question. After all, isn't it normal for people to get together and get together? Why use this way to get rid of it? It can be seen that my younger brother is really annoyed by Bai Lu's identity.

Xie Juanting still didn't dodge at all, "This is the only way to keep him hidden for a few more years, otherwise you think I'll find him now?"

These words were actually not good for him. Sure enough, Bai Li suddenly became more vigilant towards him, and even his back arched nervously.

But Xie Junting just doesn't like lies, let alone tell them himself.

"He tried his best to get rid of you? Did you do something to him?" Even if he was as gentle as him, his eyes became sharp at this time, although that expression did not have the slightest deterrent force in Xie Junting's view.

He blinked his eyes lightly, his slender eyelashes were tightly covered, maybe because of the dim light in the room, his expression was inexplicably softer, and of course, it was also a little dark.

"I let him carry my child."

But these words sent a chill down Bai Li's back.

"He didn't do it voluntarily, otherwise he wouldn't run away, you forced him, right?"

Xie Juanting confessed to everything else, but obviously he didn't want to admit this, after all, this kind of thing was taken for granted in his opinion.force?

After a slight pause, he replied, "Bai Lu can only be with me."

"What if he doesn't want to?"

"He has no choice."

"No one can force him, Mr. Xie, if you really like him and for his own good, why don't you let him make his own choice?"

His eyes darkened, and he asked coldly, "Would you let him choose you?"

This sudden sentence caught Bai Li by surprise and at the same time, he was very stunned. He thought that only the person concerned would know his younger brother's feelings for him, but he didn't expect that Xie Junting had already seen it, but he had never had much contact with this person before. .

But Xie Juanting didn't plan to pursue Bai Li, so the conversation changed in the next sentence.

"He's stupid, but you're not stupid, Bo Li, you won't be as naive as him, thinking that you can live your whole life by relying on your brothers, it's just escaping, and the shady feelings will eventually die." Xie Juanting was very calm, even if he said This kind of slightly threatening words is still kind. At this moment, he doesn't look like a cruel officer, he seems to be just a noble son, "Giving him a choice is not good for him, it's just ruined in vain."

Bai Li is not as intelligent as his younger brother in other respects, but he is much more sensitive emotionally.These words are almost equivalent to the meaning of "You two, stay away from me", but fortunately, Xie Junting is peaceful, and his words are very measured and acceptable, and they are not completely deterrent. Bai Li is not afraid, even He was also vaguely aware of Xie Junting's accidentally leaked feelings.

Bai Li was silent for a while, and asked, "Why did you tell me this?"

"Because you know better than him, and you must know better than him."

After finishing speaking, Xie Juanting laughed at himself, closed his eyes lightly, and slowly opened them again.

I always felt that this person should say something more, but unfortunately, he never spoke again.

"I know I can't be with him for the rest of my life, and I haven't thought about it that way. He has his life, and I have mine. I just hope that Xiaoli can do what he wants, without compromising for anyone, and without suffering Threatening by anyone." Bai Li's face slowly showed a firmness, "Sorry, Mr. Xie, I can't help you, and Lu's feelings are beyond my control, and I really don't know his whereabouts, you Ask me, I can't answer, let you waste all your efforts, you can also let me go back now, after all, I didn't help anything. "

Xie Junting looked at the unwavering expression on Bai Li's face, and was speechless for a while.

No matter how different their personalities are, the two brothers have one thing in common.

"You should be very clear about Tan Mu's thoughts, why do you want to go back?" Xie Junting asked.

"Because, I don't want to see Liu running back to find you because of me," Bai Li's voice suddenly became louder, "I don't want to be his burden! I don't want to be a means of threatening him! I don't want him to spend his whole life for me. live!"

But soon he realized that his behavior just now was inappropriate, his voice immediately lowered, and he said "sorry".

After a long while, I spoke again, with a softer voice, "Mr. Xie, actually, you don't need to bother you so much, you just picked me up. Tan Mu doesn't dare to kill me. I'm not that stupid. It's no big deal if I stay there." of."

One would try his best to escape even if his limbs were broken, and the other would rather continue to suffer at Bai's house than owe favors.

Xie Juanting sighed silently, "I didn't take you out to take advantage of me. There's no need to go back. I'll arrange another place for you."

But Bai Li still shook his head, "Why do you help me? You already know by now that I am useless to you."

Xie Junting originally wanted to say casually, I just wanted Lu to owe me a little favor.But obviously, with Bai Li's temperament, after hearing this sentence, he might only become more stubborn.

Seeing that the other party did not speak, Bai Li was even more afraid to accept this favor. He stood up tremblingly while leaning on the table, and bowed earnestly, neither humble nor overbearing, "Thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it, but I dare not accept it if you have no merit." Lu."

After finishing speaking, he dragged his injured right leg and walked out the door little by little.

Not only was the study room huge, but it was also covered with thick carpets, making it even more inconvenient to walk around. It took a while to move to the door.

Xie Junting called him to stop.

Bai Li turned around in response, "What else can Mr. Xie do?"

Xie Junting also stood up, and when he got up, his eyes glanced at Bai Li. Bai Li was thin and bland, and he didn't look like a person who was pregnant with a child at all, maybe because the pregnancy time was not long enough.

"You know, do you already have a child?"

"What?" Bai Li looked puzzled, as if he didn't hear clearly.

Xie Junting repeated cruelly again, "You have a child in your belly."

After hearing it clearly, Bai Li was stunned, his mouth was slightly open, and he froze, and the hand that was about to press the doorknob was also hanging stiffly in mid-air.

He felt that Xie Junting was joking, but the other party was obviously not someone who knew how to joke.

Subconsciously looking at his abdomen, he raised his head in a panic, and began to breathe rapidly. He tried his best to control his emotions, but there was still a slight tremor in his voice when he opened his mouth.

"What you said...is it true?" His voice revealed the embarrassment and pain in his heart, although his face was expressionless, like a piece of wood.

Xie Juanting thought for a while, "Not necessarily, but you'd better check."

Bai Li took a deep breath and calmed down a little bit. He finally knew why he was driven away. At that moment, a chill full of malice rolled down his spine.

At first he didn't believe it, he always felt that the current patience was only temporary, but he didn't expect that he was really abandoned.

He clenched his fists, and this time he didn't shed tears like he did when he heard the news of his brother's death, but silently, but he knew he was crying.

Closing his eyes and opening them again, it took him several minutes to recover, Bai Li looked up at Xie Junting.

"Mr. Xie, your side... should, should be able to check it for me, right?"

It is impossible for him to go to the hospital and he does not dare to go. He can only rely on the Bai family and the Xie family. At this moment, of course he prefers to choose the latter.

Xie Junting was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Bai Li became more and more calm, his heart shrank into a small ball, and he tried his best to make his tone seem innocuous, "Mr. Xie, can I have an examination right away? The sooner the result is confirmed, the better the plan will be."

"Should I send the doctor over now?"

Bai Li replied yes, feeling a little choked up, so he stopped talking.

Xie Junting asked him to wait a while and then took out his mobile phone to make a call.

Bai Li couldn't understand the content of the phone call anymore, he only knew that his mind was buzzing, and he couldn't care about everything outside.He felt that his body was a little shaky, and he held on to the door with his right hand to stabilize himself.

After hanging up the phone, Xie Junting turned his head and saw that Bai Li's face was as white as paper, with no blood at all.The eyes are also empty, I don't know where to look, the whole portrait has been taken out of the backbone.

At that moment, Xie Juanting finally felt a little unbearable. It wasn't about this person, but thinking about whether Lun was like this when she found out that she was pregnant. She was shocked and desperate at the same time.

Unfortunately, the person had already run away at that time, and he couldn't see the expression on his face.

Soon, two doctors wearing masks came over.Bai Li couldn't help but feel a little scared, he stood by the door and held on to the edge tightly, refusing to take a step.

Xie Junting said, "You are safe here."

Bai Li stared at him for a while, finally nodded, and followed the two doctors away.

Xie Juanting didn't follow, one is to avoid suspicion, and the other is... what Bai Li is going through now, Lu also experienced it back then.Moreover, Lu's situation at the time was even more hopeless and helpless than Bai Li's.The two brothers looked too much alike, especially when they looked sad, they both lowered their eyes and bit their lower lip white, suddenly they were almost the same person, Xie Juanting didn't want to see that kind of scene at all.

Zhou Ling knocked on the door of the study room, and said that the luggage is ready, would you like to go over there to confirm.

Xie Junting lowered his eyelashes and seemed to be staring at a certain spot on the carpet. Zhou Ling came in and stood there for a while, and then he called young master a few times before he slowly raised his head.

It's a pity that Xie Juanting's way of thinking is different from ordinary people. Ordinary people are touched by this, and they probably think that they shouldn't be so cruel to Li in the first place, making people fall into despair and sadness.Of course, he was also aware of the latter, but he felt that it was because he was too careless and negligent that Bai Lu caught the loophole and ran away, hiding and hiding for a long time tremblingly, anyone would feel uncomfortable and hopeless.So this time you can't take it lightly.
