Bai Qi’s Favorite Stars (1)

Xi Chengyun went to the Jiang’s house again.

When he entered, the Jiang’s house looked empty, with only a few maids left.

The maid froze when she saw him. “Why did Eldest Young Master…… return?” She unconsciously stuttered for a moment but still gave an honest explanation. “Mister isn’t at home. He’s…… in the hospital.”

After all, in the past days, when both Mister and Young Master were there, they couldn’t hold the Eldest Young Master, let alone her.

“Hospital?” Xi Chengyun only repeated the word.

The maid hurriedly spilled out all the rest of what she should or shouldn’t have said. “Yes, recently, Mister has always been quarreling with Young Master. After Mister got so angry, he…… went into the hospital.”

Actually, it’s not only quarreling.

There were also hands.

In the beginning, it was the father who hit the son, and later, unknowingly, Young Master actually got angry and hit his father back!

Xi Chengyun didn’t need the maid to tell him and could already tell.

As soon as he swept his eyes, he realized that all the decorations in the living room had been changed. What had happened here was self-evident.

“Eldest Young Master, wait a minute. I…… I’ll give Mister a call?”

As soon as the maid’s words fell on this side, a woman on the other side said in a tired voice, “A-Fen, come and pick up the stuff. Tired to death.”

Xi Chengyun turned around.

Jiang Fangcheng’s mother was standing there, her hands full of shopping bags, and when she saw Xi Chengyun, she involuntarily trembled, almost dropping everything in her hands.

Xi Chengyun looked down and said, “If the Lv perfume breaks, you’ll be distressed for a long time, so keep your hands steady.”

The woman’s face turned green and white, and she couldn’t get any words out of her throat.

When she saw Xi Chengyun, she felt afraid and always thought that this person’s bones were superior, firmly pressed against her, making her breathless.

These words were mocking her, right? Mocking her for never seeing the world. When she wanted a big-brand lipstick, she could only nervously ask it from Father Jiang.

The woman stood there stiffly. She wanted to return to the smooth, slick appearance like before, gentle and cautious, but she still couldn’t open her mouth…….

Xi Chengyun faintly said, “You should know that I have already gotten my mother’s inheritance.”

The woman stiffened her neck and nodded.

If it weren’t for Xi Chengyun achieving everything smoothly, Father Jiang wouldn’t have been so anxious to argue with Jiang Fangcheng.

“Then you should also know that there’s only one thing left that I’m holding on to in my heart,” Xi Chengyun faintly said.

The woman shivered.

One more thing……

That was Xi Chengyun’s real blood brother of the same father and mother, the only younger brother he recognized.

“I’m running out of patience,” Xi Chengyun said softly.

“But……” the woman hadn’t finished her sentence.

Xi Chengyun interrupted her, “This is the last deadline. If there is still no whereabouts of him, then I will take this world as a place where there is no such person.”

This was even more horrible news than the inheritance!

The woman knew very well what this statement from Xi Chengyun meant…… it meant that from now on, Xi Chengyun could swing the knife at them without fear.

Their doomsday had come.

They were done!

Frank’s appearance didn’t mean that the Jiang family could easily escape.

On the contrary, the Jiang family had welcomed their torment.

Who else was involved in this case? Everyone must be uncovered and seized to get the end they deserve.

Xi Chengyun walked out of Jiang’s house without staying a second longer.

He had left through this gate countless times. The last time he left, he didn’t know whether to cry or laugh as he scrutinized Bai Qi beside him. This time, when he left, the gloom dispersed, his mood was calm, and even the sunset hanging on the horizon was more pleasing to the eye.

He vaguely heard the panic sounds of things shattering and falling behind him.

But he wasn’t interested in looking back even for a second.

When Xi Chengyun returned to the car and opened his cell phone, a news article appeared quickly.

<<ZhouXiaXiang appeared on the program “Star-Picking Youth”>>

ZhouXiaXiang, this name…… sounded strange enough.

Xi Chengyun lifted his eyelids expressionlessly and was about to turn off his cell phone, but another news article popped up right after it.

<<Breaking News: The Reason Frank Became a Big Hit, All Because of Him!>>

The accompanying picture photoshopped Frank and Bai Qi together, even facing each other.

Xi Chengyun: “……”

He was abruptly enlightened and remembered what the hell ZhouXiaXiang was. It wasn’t someone’s name but a combination of three surnames. When did Channel 3 become so capable that they could invite all these people together?

Xi Chengyun reached for his cell phone and dialed Bai Qi’s number.

‘How much did Shang Guang talk about for you? I’ll triple it. No, I’ll give you my bank card. You don’t have to go to the show.’

The words reached his throat.

“Hello, Xi-laoshi, I just got home with Frank. Did you finish your errands with Uncle?” Bai Qi asked.

Xi Chengyun immediately swallowed his words back down.

‘Kids, young, chasing a star… only.’

‘Chasing.’

‘Chasing more harder.’

Xi Chengyun lowered his eyes to hide the deep tint in the bottom of his eyes.

‘Last time, Qi Qi realized he was wrong and enthusiastically contributed his legs provocatively. After this program, how will Qi Qi plan to provocate him again?’

Xi Chengyun lightly raised the end of his eyebrows, and suddenly, he wasn’t so heartbroken and even looked forward to it subtly.

“There are still some things left to do; we’ll discuss it tomorrow. I’ll be back now.” Xi Chengyun answered in a low voice, not giving away a trace of emotion, treating it as if he hadn’t seen the news notification.

“Okay.” Bai Qi responded, then paused, “Ah, hold on. Where is Xi-laoshi coming back from? Will you pass through Anding Road? Xi-laoshi, bring back a bag of roasted chestnuts. I want to eat them.”

A little smile resurfaced under Xi Chengyun’s eyes as he answered, “Okay.”
