In the hall of Bai Family's villa

An old lady who was around 70 years old was drinking tea gracefully with a teacup. At this time, a servant informed her that Liao Xi Yue had come over.

First grandson Gao Lin Lin and second grandson Qi Ru, who were originally sitting on the other side of the sofa, stopped their conversation and looked up to see Liao Xi Yue, wearing a blue long skirt, walk in.

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

"Xiyue, you're really courteous, sending things over every now and then. Those who don't know about it would think that you're the granddaughter of the Grandmother." The one who spoke was Gao Lin Lin, and spoke in a strange tone.

Liao Xi Yue laughed indifferently, and retrieved a scarf from the gift she had prepared for the old lady: "These few days, the weather has been cold, I was afraid that the old lady would be affected by the cold, so I specially got someone to order a scarf for me, I don't know if you like it, the gift is a little thin, I am afraid that Sister Linlin and Sister Ru will make a joke."

Just by looking at the fabric and texture, they could tell that it was made of high-grade cashmere. Looking at the embroidery patterns on the scarf, it was likely that a top-grade master had been hired to make these needlework.

The old mistress took it and touched it carefully. She smiled with satisfaction and a trace of affection appeared in her shrewd eyes. "You must have come from Inner Mongolia, right? Embroidery is Dong embroidery right?

Liao Xi Yue smiled humbly: "Old madam's eyes are really good. This woolen cloth is indeed from Ordos City, and as for embroidery, it is an old acquaintance of mine that my mother knows."

"This Dong embroidery is on the verge of extinction. Xiyue, you sure are skilled." Qi Ru could not help but exclaim in admiration.

The old lady smirked and waved at Liao Xi Yue, "Child, you're being thoughtful. Come, put it on for me."

Liao Xi Yue smiled gently and walked forward, forming a simple design for the old lady.

The madame smiled and patted her hand. "My birthday is coming up in a few days. Please accompany me to meet my good friends."

"Alright." Liao Xi Yue smiled faintly and promised. The old lady's words made Gao Lin Lin and Qi Ru's expression change, who didn't know that the old lady's position in the business world could be said to be extremely high? For this birthday banquet, all the people she invited were people with good reputations, if Liao Xi Yue could accompany the old lady in attending it, she would definitely become a candidate for daughter-in-law Sun.

In the past, Liao Xi Yue could also be considered to be extremely attentive towards the people of Old Mistress Bai and the entire Bai Family, but Old Mistress Bai always had a nonchalant look. She accepted gifts and treated all the guests with complete etiquette, unlike the recent time when Old Mistress Bai was exceptionally close to her.

Now there was something to see.

Su Mu Ran was dizzy and hot and cold throughout the night. She only felt someone gently wipe her sweat, and it wasn't until morning that she finally woke up.

"You're awake?" A oriole-like voice came from the bed.

Su Mu Ran turned to look, and a beautiful face entered her line of sight.

"You are..." She struggled to sit up, but Bai Yin Yin immediately stepped forward and supported her.

"I am Bai Zi Yan's little sister, and my name is Bai Yin Yin. You can call me Yin Yin, or you can call me Xiao Yin." Bai Yin Yin said without restraint. He thought that since they were family, there was no need to act so polite in front of his sister-in-law.

"You … "Hello." When Su Mu Ran opened her mouth, he discovered that her throat was parched and aching.

"Don't get up, your illness hasn't completely recovered yet. Otherwise, all of our efforts yesterday would have been in vain." Bai Yin Yin quickly held her down.

"Thank you." Su Mu Ran weakly said thanks as his eyes swept around but she did not see the figure. A look of disappointment flashed across his eyes.

"He went out with the Big Brother Qin and asked me to take care of you for you." Bai Yin Yin smiled as she explained to Su Mu Ran.

She knew that she had been drugged, and those men had taken the chance to assault her. Even if she had something to protect herself, a woman's physical strength still wouldn't be able to match up to a few men. If he hadn't arrived in time, there was no way he could have imagined what would happen in the future.

She covered herself with the blanket and bit her lip. "Sorry for making you worry."

Bai Yin Yin comforted her and patted her shoulder, "It's all over now, rest a little longer. There's 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's body. Although she was in his embrace, she could still imagine the scene at that time when he screamed miserably at her men. It was just that she had never seen Bai Zi Yan like this before, but she wasn't afraid of him like this.

Bai Yin Yin went to the kitchen, Su Mu Ran woke up, and was no longer sleepy. At this moment, she heard the bell at the door, followed by the sound of the door opening.

"How is she?" The voice was that of a man who had lowered his voice.

"Mm. She just woke up with her fever gone. I told her to sleep a bit more. How's it going over there?" The other person was Bai Yin Yin.

"It's done. Old Bai will be coming over once it's done." The male voice said a few more words to Bai Yin Yin before opening the door and going out.

After a while, Bai Yin Yin pushed the door and entered, looking at Mu Ran.

She held a mobile phone in her hand and said as she walked, "Brother, she's awake. Do you have something to tell her? "Alright, wait a moment."

Su Mu Ran raised her head, Bai Yin Yin passed the phone to her and mouthed out: My brother's number.

Su Mu Ran accepted it, and the voice that came first sounded: "You're awake? Is there anything uncomfortable about it? "

"No more."

"That's good. If you're not feeling well, just tell Yin Yin that she's a doctor. Do you understand?"

"Mm. Alright." Su Mu Ran held onto her phone, and said hesitantly: "Thank you for yesterday's matter, if not for you, I would have …"

"Don't think too much about it." Bai Zi Yan said, "Rest well for the next few days. I'll help you request a leave of absence for the kindergarten."

Su Mu Ran made a sound of agreement. She didn't dare to leave recklessly now as well, and it would be better for her to not act rashly before finding out who was trying to harm her.

"Brother, if you really want to see Mu Ran, then come back early. Don't say such insignificant, mundane things." Bai Yin Yin could not bear with their conversation, and directly snatched it away.

"Don't spout nonsense." Bai Zi Yan scolded from the other side of the phone.

"Hmph, I am doing this for your own good, for someone who doesn't know how to appreciate favors. Here, I will let Mu Ran listen." Bai Yin Yin was not afraid of his cold big brother.

Bai Yin Yin then gave the phone to Su Mu Ran, and indicated for her to continue. Mu Ran was thin-skinned, and seemed to not know what to do in front of outsiders.

"Mu Ran, if you are hungry, ask Yin Yan to bring you a bowl of porridge. I will rush back as soon as possible, hmm?" On the other end of the phone, Bai Zi Yan continued to speak.

"Yes." Su Mu Ran waited for him to hang up, her heart rippled from the last sentence, feeling that they were deeply in love with each other in the first place.

Unexpectedly, they met Bai Yin Yin's mocking gaze.

"Sister-in-law, I feel like you're a obedient student in front of my brother. If he tells you to go left, then go left, and if he tells you to go right, then go right, this is a huge loss, right?"

"I'm not that obedient." Su Mu Ran immediately denied it with a flushed face.

Bai Yin Yin did not expose her and shrugged, "I'll bring you some porridge."
