The magnificently decorated suite is full of elegance and luxury, except for the owner of the room, every outsider standing here looks very small, completely lost in terms of aura.

So in such a situation, what Qi Qingmu said sounded blindly confident, and also revealed a bit of ignorant arrogance.

Bai Zhenrong looked at him quietly, at this moment, she seemed to understand something.

The dead Bai Yaqing was a wise man, and her son was a wise man...

Even the people her son is looking for are smart people.

There was a cold light in those shrewd eyes, but they were not as aggressive as other people's gazes in the restaurant, and more of an unbiased scrutiny.

After a long time, she pointed to the single sofa beside her, "Sit."

Qi Qingmu thanked her and sat down happily.

"You just said that I want to hand over the Bai family to Gu Yu." Bai Zhenrong paused, and seemed to let out a soft laugh, "Gu Yu told you?"

"No, I guessed it." Qi Qingmu said: "I don't know anything about the Bai family, including your name. The only person I know is Bai Jie."

Bai Zhenrong raised her eyebrows noncommittally, "But you know that I am the head of the Bai family."

"Observe." Qi Qingmu said: "They respect you, and they can also clarify your relationship from the address when they speak."

Pretend to be cold, and even take the lead in despising Gu Yu, but the woman in front of him seems to be different from those people.

She is very good at hiding her true emotions, so that now Qi Qingmu is very relaxed when chatting with her, kind of...

The illusion that the other party can be trusted.

The woman was silent for a long time, and said, "Bai Yaqing is my biological sister."

Qi Qingmu's eyes flickered slightly, "You are Gu Yu's aunt."

"You can say that." Bai Zhenrong said, "But I don't like him."

Qi Qingmu: "..."

What did Gu Yu do that made the Bai family hate him from the bottom of their hearts.

He didn't know the Bai family before, he only knew Gu Yu, so he thought about everything from Gu Yu's point of view. Looking back on the past, Gu Yu suffered a lot of grievances in the Bai family, which may also bring the Bai family's dissatisfaction. Its father cynical resentment.

But now, talking about these things with a relatively rational elder of the Bai family, it seems that Gu Yu has done something unforgivable, which put the Bai family in a passive situation where they hate him but must control him position.

After a short silence, Qi Qingmu said, "Gu Yu went to Antarctica."

"I know." Bai Zhenrong obviously knew about this, and said without any surprise, "He's just like his father, stubborn and boring."

"...It's quite stubborn." Boring is not boring, and it's pretty good at ordinary times.

"So do you know that I will be brought here today?" Qi Qingmu asked uncertainly.

Originally, he still firmly believed that Bai Jie's family did it intentionally for him to appear in New Rice, but now he felt that the woman in front of him definitely knew something, maybe he was brought here with Bai Zhenrong's acquiescence.

After all, her city is too deep, and her thoughts are so deep that she doesn't look like a middle-aged woman, but like a counselor next to an ancient emperor.

Sure enough, she only glanced at Qi Qingmu, feeling disdain for his question.

And it was this attitude that made Qi Qingmu sure that the other party really knew everything and controlled everything invisibly.

Maybe Bai Jie's family didn't know that he had been a chess piece.

"So you took the initiative to see me." Qi Qingmu said firmly: "If Gu Yu was here, you would have no chance to see me. But now it's different, you not only saw me, but you can also remove your suspicion perfectly. If Gu Yu came back to investigate, but he couldn't find you."

"Very smart." Bai Zhenrong praised without hesitation, but her voice was cold, as if perfunctory, "Gu Yu is very smart, and so are you."

"Then your purpose of seeing me is..."

Bai Zhenrong put down the computer and remained silent for a long time, a faint smile suddenly appeared on her well-maintained face.The short-lived smile instantly softened the cold aura around her, as if coated with a layer of warm mist.

"You'll find out soon enough," she said.

Qi Qingmu was puzzled, but Bai Zhenrong stopped talking to him. Even though he asked a lot of questions, the other party continued to do his own thing as if he didn't exist.

This weird situation didn't last long, because the door of the suite was knocked, and after Bai Zhenrong's voice of permission sounded, the waiter brought in a person Qi Qingmu knew very well.

Tall figure, meticulously combed hair, handsome and three-dimensional facial features, and that well-fitting suit...

"Xu Jin Xing?" Qi Qingmu was surprised and called out the other party's name.

Xu Jinxing's dark eyes fell on him, without any emotion, and left the moment they touched him.

"Patriarch Bai." He said to the woman sitting on the sofa, "I'm here. If you need anything, just tell me."

"I know that Mr. Xu has a lot of things to do every day, and it's not easy to find time to see you." Bai Zhenrong said quietly, "Sit down and have a drink?"

"No." Xu Jinxing directly refused, "There will be a meeting to be held later, so the drink will be waived. Next time I have a chance, I will treat you to dinner to make amends."

"Mr. Xu said this yourself, don't forget." Bai Zhenrong didn't force her, after she finished speaking, she stood up and said to Qi Qingmu: "Let's go, the person who picked you up has already arrived."

It was only at this time that Qi Qingmu realized that Xu Jinxing's appearance here was not accidental, but...

Bai Zhenrong used him as a bargaining chip to force Xu Jinxing to come here.

Standing up slowly, Qi Qingmu walked towards Xu Jinxing with a complex expression. Even if the other party didn't look at him, Qi Qingmu felt bad feelings in his heart.

Xu Jinxing shouldn't be here.

"Then let's go, Patriarch Bai." Xu Jinxing said blankly, and as soon as he turned around, he heard Bai Zhenrong's unmoving voice.

"Mr. Xu has been worrying about business abroad, and thinks that the business in China is doing well, so you don't need to worry about it."

Xu Jinxing narrowed his eyes slowly, and Qi Qingmu saw his clenched fists.

"Business, there are gains and losses." He said coldly: "Patriarch Bai, I don't need to worry about Gu Yu's affairs in the future. You just need to sit firmly in the position of Patriarch, and don't be peeped by those who want to."

"Mr. Xu, don't worry, before I die, the Patriarch of the Bai family can only be me."

……

Following Xu Jinxing out of Xin Rice, Qi Qingmu's hanging heart slowly sank.

Xu Jinxing's car was parked in front of the gate, and the co-pilot's door was opened. Qi Qingmu just wanted to refuse the other party to see him off, but when he looked up at Xu Jinxing's dark eyes, he thought about it and sat on it.

Perhaps his little confidence just now looked like a clown to the Bai family, but Qi Qingmu felt that he still knew something about the Bai family.

The speculation in my heart is like a vine, spreading and climbing unscrupulously.

After getting into the car, Xu Jinxing started the car.

Feeling the car driving away from the area in front of Xinlaisi, Qi Qingmu said softly, "Thank you."

"Qi Qingmu, you are really courageous." Xu Jinxing's voice did not fluctuate, "When I wanted to take you out, you were on all possible precautions and hid whenever you could. What happened today?"

One sentence stopped Qi Qingmu, he actually had countless reasons to refute Xu Jinxing, but when he thought that he was detained by Bai Zhenrong and recruited the irrelevant Xu Jinxing like a hostage, he swallowed his rebuttals into the stomach.

"Sorry." He said softly.

Xu Jinxing took a deep breath, and after a brief silence, the sigh was full of exhaustion.

"Your cell phone." Stopping in front of the red light, Xu Jinxing took out Qi Qingmu's cell phone from his coat pocket.

Qi Qingmu took it over with some surprise, he forgot that the phone was taken away by Bai Jie after such a fuss just now.

"Thank you!"

"You don't need to thank me anymore." Xu Jinxing said: "Qi Qingmu, I have persuaded you, and I hope you can protect yourself wisely. But obviously, you have your own ideas and considerations."

"...Yes." Qi Qingmu said without denying, "It's about Gu Yu, I can't just ignore it."

"So I told you to leave him."

"Whether to leave or not is not something that can be decided by one person." Qi Qingmu said: "In this relationship, Gu Yu and I are two-way."

"Then there's nothing to say." Xu Jinxing said, "Only this time, next time when the same thing happens again, I won't come to save you."

Qi Qingmu paused for breath and nodded.

"I still want to say thank you."

After that, the conversation between the two seemed very relaxed, even though the topic of chatting always revolved around the Bai family.

Xu Jinxing told him the names of several people and the internal situation of the Bai family. Qi Qingmu was very smart, and matched the characteristics of those people he saw in the restaurant one by one.

To put it simply, the old lady Bai who just passed away some time ago had two daughters and no son.Among the two daughters, the eldest daughter has passed away and was the previous Patriarch of the Bai family; while the youngest daughter lives abroad and has never cared about the family's struggles.

The eldest daughter who has passed away has three children, the eldest and the third are daughters, and the second is a son; the second daughter who has settled abroad has two children, the eldest is a son and the second is a daughter.

Now the main disputes within the Bai family are mainly in this generation.

The deceased Mrs. Bai liked the youngest daughter born to her eldest daughter. It can be said that she was absolutely partial to her daughter, so she secretly left a suicide note to leave the position of Patriarch to her or her child. This was a very unfair will in the first place. However, what happened next was even more dramatic.

This youngest daughter is extremely rebellious, she would rather give up her family in order to pursue true love, she even secretly married and gave birth to a child, and the child did not follow the surname of the Bai family...

Yes, she is Bai Yaqing, Gu Yu's mother.

"Bai Zhenrong is jealous of Bai Yaqing, everyone in the circle knows it."

"If Gu Yu hadn't left Nancheng, then the person who was kidnapped today would not be me, but Gu Yu."

"Without Gu Yu, she found someone who can bring her benefits."

Xu Jinxing frowned wearily.

"So why were you taken there today?"
