C20 The Eve of the Birthday Feast

In the lobby of the Bai family villa.

An old lady who was about seventy years old was holding a teacup and drinking tea elegantly. At this time, a maid informed that Liao Xiyue had come.

The eldest grandchild's wife, Gao Linlin, and the second grandchild's wife, Qi Ru, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa stopped their discussion. They looked up and saw Liao Xiyue, who was wearing a long blue dress, walk in.

"Old madam, you are resting. I wonder if Xiyue has disturbed you?" As soon as she walked in, she walked towards Old Madam Bai and greeted the other two women.

"Xiyue, you are really polite. You have to send things over every few days. Those who do not know would think that you are Grandmother's granddaughter." The one who spoke was Gao Linlin and spoke in a strange tone.

Liao Xiyue did not mind and smiled. She took out a scarf from the prepared gift and gave it to the old madam. "These few days, the weather is cold and I am afraid that the old madam will get cold. She specially ordered a scarf to be made. I don't know if you like it or not. The gift was a little thin, but I was afraid that Sister Linlin and Sister Ru would laugh at me. "

The other two looked and saw that it was not a gift. Just by looking at the material and texture, they knew that it was a high-grade cashmere material. Looking at the embroidery pattern on the scarf, it was likely that the needle and thread had been handmade by a top-notch master. One could see his thoughts from this.

The old madam took it and carefully touched it. She smiled in satisfaction and her astute eyes revealed a kind look. "This wool of yours came from Inner Mongolia, right? Embroidery should be from the Dong Clan, right?"

Liao Xiyue smiled humbly. "The old mistress really has good taste. This wool is indeed from Erdos. As for embroidery, it is an old acquaintance of my mother."

"This embroidery of the Dong Clan is often lost in the passage of time. Xiyue, you are really capable." Qi Ru who was at the side could not help but exclaim in admiration.

The old mistress smiled and waved at Liao Xiyue. "Child, you are thoughtful. Come, put it on for me."

Liao Xiyue smiled gently and walked forward, surrounding the old mistress with a simple style.

The old mistress smiled and patted her hand. "It will be my birthday in a few days. When the time comes, you will accompany me to meet my good friends."

"Okay." Liao Xiyue faintly smiled and agreed. The words of the old mistress... Everyone knew. The old mistress's position in the business world could be said to be able to call the wind and summon the rain. Those invited were all important figures. If Liao Xiyue could accompany the old madam to attend this time, she would definitely be the candidate for the granddaughter-in-law.

In the past, Liao Xiyue was also very attentive towards Old Madam Bai and the people of Bai family, but Old Madam Bai always had an indifferent expression. The recruitment of gifts and the etiquette of treating guests were watertight. It was unlike the time when Old Madam Bai was particularly friendly to her. It seemed that the third brother... Old Madam Bai was determined to make him settle down.

This time, it was time to take a look.

Su Muran was dizzy the entire night and suddenly felt cold and hot. She only felt that there was someone gently wiping her sweat. It was not easy for her to endure until morning before she woke up in a daze.

"You are awake?" A voice that sounded like an oriole came from beside the bed.

Su Muran turned her head to look and a delicate face entered her line of sight.

"You are..." She struggled to sit up, and Bai Yinyin immediately went forward to support her.

"I am Bai Ziyan's younger sister. My name is Bai Yinyin. You can call me Yin. You can also call me Little Yin." Bai Yinyin said without restraint, thinking that they were family anyway. Why pretend to be so polite in front of sister-in-law?

"You... Hello." Su Muran opened her mouth and found that her throat was dry, hoarse, and painful.

"Don't get up. Your illness hasn't recovered yet. Otherwise, our efforts yesterday would have been in vain." Bai Yinyin quickly held her down.

"Thank you," ___ said. Su Muran weakly expressed her thanks. Her eyes swept the surroundings but did not see the figure. A trace of disappointment flashed across her eyes.

"He went out with Big Brother Qin. He asked me to take care of you for you." Bai Yinyin looked at Su Muran and smiled as she explained.

Su Muran let out a sigh of relief in her heart. Thinking back to the scene at that time, she still had some lingering fear. She knew that she was drugged and those men took the opportunity to violate her. Even if she had something to protect herself, a woman's physical strength was no match for a few men. If he hadn't arrived in time, he really wouldn't have been able to imagine what would have happened later.

She wrapped herself in the blanket and bit her lip. "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Bai Yinyin patted her shoulder comfortingly. "It's all in the past. You should rest for a while. There is still porridge in the kitchen. You can eat it when you have an appetite."

Yesterday, she was dizzy and could still feel the anger coming from the man. Although she was hugged by him, when she heard the shrill voices of those men, she could still imagine the scene at that time. It was just that this Bai Ziyan... She had never seen him before, but she wasn't afraid of him like this. She felt a vague heartache for him.

Bai Yinyin went to the kitchen and Su Muran woke up. She no longer had any sleepiness and at this time she heard the doorbell ring and then the sound of the door opening.

"How is she?" The one who spoke was a low male voice.

"Yes, she just woke up and her fever has subsided. I'll let her sleep for a while more. How is it on your side?" The other one who spoke was Bai Yinyin.

"Everything is settled. Once the matter is settled, Bai will come over." The male voice said a few more words to Bai Yinyin before opening the door and going out.

Not long after, Bai Yinyin pushed the door open and came in to take a look at Muran.

She held a phone in her hand and as she walked, she said, "Brother, she is awake. Is there something you want to tell her? Okay, wait a moment."

Su Muran looked up and Bai Yinyin handed the phone to her and mouthed, My brother's number.

Su Muran took it and the voice from the other side was the first to be heard," You are awake? Is there any discomfort anywhere?"

"No."

"That's good, said Wang Yao. If she doesn't feel well, just tell Yin Yin that she's a doctor, okay?"

"Okay." Su Muran held her phone and said haltingly, "Thank you for yesterday's matter. If it wasn't for you, I..."

"Don't think too much." Bai Ziyan said, "Rest well these few days. I will take a leave of absence for you at the kindergarten."

Su Muran nodded. She did not dare to walk around now. Before finding out who wanted to harm her, it was better for her to not act rashly.

"Brother, if you really want Muran, come back early. Don't say some unimportant things." Bai Yinyin could not stand their conversation and directly rushed over.

"Don't speak nonsense." Bai Ziyan scolded her on the other side of the phone.

"Hmph, I'm doing this for your own good. You don't know how to appreciate favors. Here, I'll let Muran listen." Bai Yinyin was not afraid of his cold big brother.

Bai Yinyin handed the phone to Su Muran again and motioned for her to continue speaking. Muran was thin-skinned and appeared to be at a loss in front of outsiders.

"Muran, if you are hungry, ask Yin Yin to prepare a bowl of porridge for you. I will rush back as soon as possible. En? " On the other end of the phone, Bai Ziyan continued.

" En. " Su Muran waited for him to hang up the phone. Her mind was shaken by the last sentence. She had a feeling that they were deeply in love with each other.

Unexpectedly, she met Bai Yinyin's mocking eyes.

"Sister-in-law, I feel that you are like an obedient student in front of my brother. If he asks you to go left, then go left. If he asks you to go right, then go right. This is very disadvantageous, isn't it?"

"I am not that obedient." Su Muran's face was red as she denied it.

Bai Yinyin did not expose her and shrugged her shoulders, "I will bring you the porridge."
