As he spoke, it seemed as if he was about to cry, with a hint of choking in his tone.

Dong Chuan got goosebumps all over his body when he heard this, and glanced quietly at Jiang Chengyu who was reviewing documents safely.

The peach blossoms that my husband invited, how come he is the one who suffers in the end?

"I'm sorry, Miss Bai, I can't let you come up without the order of my husband."

"Then...then you tell Chengyu that I'm here, and he will definitely let me up!"

Where does the confidence come from! ?

Dong Chuan was speechless, Jiang Chengyu gave this order because he didn't want her to come here without authorization.

"Mr. is busy now. If Miss Bai has nothing to do, please come back."

After finishing speaking, we must hang up the phone.

Seeing this, Bai Ruowei quickly yelled: "It's something, I have something very important to find him!"

"What's up?"

"This...can you give Chengyu the phone and let me talk to him?"

"As I said just now, sir is busy. If you really have something urgent, you can tell me, and I will pass it on to sir."

Jiang Chengyu said that if Bai Ruowei wanted to find him alone, she would directly refuse.

If he couldn't bear the consequences, he would also like to call Jiang Chengyu directly.

This woman really likes to flirt! I can't finish rubbing the goosebumps all over his body!

Bai Ruowei pursed her lips unwillingly, and could only say: "Then, ask him for me, if he can come to Mrs. Bai's birthday banquet in two days."

"Okay, I'll convey it to you."

After Dong Chuan finished speaking, he really hung up the phone mercilessly. Bai Ruowei, who had not been able to touch even a sound wave of Jiang Chengyu, was extremely depressed, and stared at the two bodyguards at the elevator door from a distance, and drove away.

Upstairs in the president's office, Dong Chuan put away his mobile phone, walked out of the secretary's room, entered the office, and stood erectly in front of Jiang Chengyu's desk.

"Sir, Miss Bai would like to invite you to go to Mrs. Bai's birthday banquet with her."

Jiang Chengyu paused the pen in his hand, frowned slightly, and raised his head: "Lady Bai...is she from the Bai family?"

Dong Chuan: "...Yes, she is from a branch of the Bai family."

Oh my god, sir, he doesn't even know that Bai Ruowei is from the Bai family.

If Bai Ruowei, who thinks highly of herself, finds out, she might go crazy.

But it's no wonder that during this period of time, Bai Ruowei's related matters were handled by him, and Jiang Chengyu never took over.

The husband didn't care about her background at all and was not interested in getting to know her.

Jiang Chengyu lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "Free up the schedule for that night."

Dong Chuan was a little surprised: "Sir, are you really planning to go?!"

"My mother just let me go, it has nothing to do with her."

"So that's how it is...I'll make arrangements right away."

I almost forgot that the relationship between my husband's mother and the person in power in the Bai family is not bad.

However, the one from the Bai family might think that the husband went there specially for her.

"Then……"

Jiang Chengyu turned the pen in his hand, as if he wanted to say something, Dong Chuan stood there and waited, but after a while, Jiang Chengyu stopped his hands and leaned back on the chair leisurely: " It's okay, go get busy."

Dong Chuan: "!??!"

Jiang Chengyu looked at Dong Chuan's aggrieved back, and the corner of his mouth curled up almost invisibly.

He originally wanted Dong Chuan to ask Bai Ruowei how the eldest granddaughter of the Bai family was doing now.

A few years ago, he would occasionally think of that little girl, and wanted to find out what she was doing now, but found that the Bai family seemed to have protected her, and there was no way to easily find out about her.

He was so vigilant, and he didn't have the strong idea of ​​peeping into other people's privacy, so he gave up.

Forget it, anyway, I will see you in a few days, there is no need to ask.

When Bai Ruowei was rushing to Jiang Chengyu's side to flatter her, Bai Chuxiao received a call almost at the same time.

"Miss, I'm Zhou Han, do you remember me?"

As soon as Bai Chuxiao picked it up, he was dumbfounded when he heard the voice and the name.

Why did old lady Bai's cronies call her? !

Bai Chuxiao was agitated for a moment, and then settled down: "I remember, but your name, Aunt Zhou...is wrong."

Now she just has a surname of "Bai" in vain, and she is not from the Bai family at all.

"Hey Miss, are you still blaming the old lady?"

Bai Chuxiao pursed her lips: "No."

complain? Of course I complained.

But it's been so long, and her resentment towards Grandma Bai has long faded.

After all, Grandma Bai was also the one who brought her out of the orphanage. For this alone, she will be grateful to her for the rest of her life.

"Miss, don't blame the old lady." Zhou Han sighed softly, "The old lady's health is very bad recently, and she often mentions the lady..."

When Bai Chuxiao heard this, her back tensed up, and her hand holding the phone tightened: "...Is she not in good health?"

In her memory, Mrs. Bai was a very health-conscious person who looked at least ten years younger than her actual age.

In the years she was in the Bai family, she never saw Mrs. Bai get sick. She always stood upright and high above her.

No one had ever seen her fall down.

Is it time for such a person to become ill...

"Yes, the old lady has been coughing frequently recently, and her health is not as good as before."

Bai Chuxiao bit her lips lightly, and a thought came out from the bottom of her heart: "You... Did the old lady ask you to come to me?"

"No miss, I made my own decision."

The thought that had just come to Bai Chuxiao's mind was instantly shattered by these words.

Haha, I thought grandma really missed her.

Zhou Han's identity is different from Bai Ruowei's. Mrs. Bai has always disliked Bai Ruowei, but Zhou Han is one of her most trusted people.

Bai Chuxiao felt that her words could be trusted.

"Then what did you want me to do when you made this call?"

"Miss, I hope you can attend the old lady's birthday banquet."

"impossible."

Bai Chuxiao refused without thinking.

She remembered Grandma Bai's birthday, but she never thought about giving any presents, let alone participating.

She was slandered and kicked out of Bai's house. There must be many people present at the birthday party. How will she explain her identity then?

It's just embarrassing yourself.

"Miss! Miss, please think again? You know that the old lady has a tough temper. Even if she misses you, she won't tell you directly!"

"Madam is old. She has no relatives around her for so many years, and she has to be on guard against Bai Ye and the others every day. It's been a hard life!"

Zhou Han spoke with sincerity, Bai Chuxiao listened, and his heart ached again.

"But Aunt Zhou, I'm not the old lady's relative." Bai Chuxiao laughed at herself, "Have you forgotten, I'm just a substitute pawn, and I've failed my duty as a pawn."

Old Madam Bai's original intention was for her to play the role of a perfect and qualified heir to the Bai family, so something went wrong on her way, and Bai Xia decisively threw her away.

Because she is not perfect, not qualified to be a chess piece.

If she went, the old lady would not be happy, would she?

"No!" Zhou Han hurriedly interrupted her, "Miss, the old lady kicked you out back then to protect you!"

Bai Chuxiao was stunned for a moment: "Protect me?"

"That's right, anyone who saw that matter would be suspicious. How could the old lady drive you out so decisively?"

Zhou Han spoke in a hurry, paused, took a breath and continued: "The old lady thinks that letting you stay in the Bai family will cause you more harm, so she just let you go. I also specially gave you a card so that you can live a good life!"

that card? !

Bai Chuxiao held his breath.

She thought that card was her "reward" for pretending to be the granddaughter of Bai's parents for so many years. When she saw it, she felt extremely ashamed, so she didn't use it at all.

"What you said...is it true?"

"It's true, these are what the old lady said after you left."

Zhou Han heard that Bai Chuxiao seemed to be shaken, and immediately increased his persuasion: "Miss, the old lady treats you like that in order to make you give up completely. She is cruel to others, and she is also cruel to herself. She obviously misses you very much, but she refuses to let me contact you, I really can't bear to see her getting worse and worse."

"...Have you seen a doctor?"

"I've seen it, and the doctor said it's a heart disease, which can't be cured." Zhou Han sighed quietly, "Heart disease still needs heart medicine."

Bai Chuxiao was silent and did not speak.

"Miss, why don't you just come and see the old lady, there are so many people at the birthday party, it's much easier to get involved than usual."

"Besides, you two have been separated for so many years. Wouldn't it be nice to take this opportunity to reconcile? If you can go back to Bai's house to help the old lady, she will be very happy. "

Bai Chuxiao's heart was as messed up as a ball of wool played by a cat. Before her mind could figure out whether this matter was good or bad for her, her body took the first step.

She opened her mouth and said one word: "OK."

"You agreed?! That's great!" Zhou Han was very happy, "You know when the birthday party will be, and I will help you arrange it. You don't need an invitation letter to come in."

After explaining some things quickly, Zhou Han hung up the phone as if he was afraid that she would regret it.

Bai Chuxiao looked at her dark phone screen, her heart was beating like a drum, her hands were a little loose, and she could hardly hold the phone.

She's going back to Bai's house?
