Chapter 589 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
The car drove through the bustling city and finally arrived at a place that looked like a scene from a movie from the last century: Longxing Road. The area was mostly old-style apartments, which looked full of nostalgia and had a charming, lived-in atmosphere.
The driver was a local from Haicheng and had been driving there for many years, so he naturally knew where this place was. Don't let the old appearance fool you; the property prices here are just as high as those in upscale neighborhoods.
Jiang Xiyu did not let the driver drive in, but only told him to stop at the intersection.
When paying, Bai Chengci suddenly asked, "Do you live here?"
Jiang Xiyu gave a perfunctory "hmm".
Bai Chengci lowered her eyes and said softly, "Then, may I come to your house as a guest today?"
"..."
Who would be so eager to visit someone else's home?
After paying, Jiang Xiyu got out of the car and said, "No."
Bai Chengci remained silent, simply watching Jiang Xiyu get out of the car.
As Jiang Xiyu closed the car door, he leaned down and glanced at Bai Chengci sitting inside, warning her again, "Watch your mouth."
Bai Chengci remained calm, and under Jiang Xiyu's warning gaze, she slowly nodded and said softly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
These words made the atmosphere even more ambiguous.
The driver gripped the steering wheel tighter, pretending he hadn't heard anything.
Jiang Xiyu coldly closed the car door, but did not leave immediately. Instead, she watched the driver drive away before crossing the road.
Almost all the elderly people in this apartment building know him, and they greeted him warmly when he returned.
An older woman even smiled and said, "Xiao Jiang, it seems like you have guests at your house."
guest?
Jiang Xiyu stopped in her tracks, smiled politely, and asked, "Auntie, what kind of guest is it?"
The older woman said, "He's a pretty young man, and quite handsome."
Jiang Xiyu thought about it for a moment, and a vague guess formed in her mind.
After all, not many people know that he lives here.
Jiang Xiyu walked to the building where her apartment was located, and sure enough, she found a Bentley downstairs.
He immediately knew who the person was.
……
On the other side, after Jiang Xiyu got out of the car, Bai Chengci asked the driver for the address.
The driver told him and asked, "Where are you going?"
Bai Chengci typed the address into her memo, and after hearing the driver's question, she paused for a moment before calmly giving him the address.
Because his place didn't allow outside vehicles to enter, he just casually mentioned a nearby place. When he arrived at his destination, an older model Audi was already waiting by the roadside.
The taxi driver noticed that the person who opened the door for Bai Chengci was too respectful, so he took a curious look. He then discovered that the license plate not only started with Hai A 001, but there were also two flags on the center console.
Now the driver knew this car was no ordinary vehicle.
No wonder people say his car is small; it turns out he married a second-generation official.
After getting into the car, Bai Chengci sent a message to Jiang Xiyu before saying to the driver, "Uncle Chen, my dad is back?"
Uncle Chen smiled and said, "Yes, he asked me to pick you up."
Bai Chengci didn't say anything more, but just stared at the chat box on her phone for a while.
There was no reply from the other end.
Bai Chengci turned off her phone and stared at the carbonated drink in her hand.
At 2 p.m., the Audi drove into the villa area.
After getting out of the car, Bai Chengci unexpectedly saw Xu Yunzhi at the door.
When Xu Yunzhi saw him return, she immediately came to greet him and softly called out, "Brother Chengci."
Bai Chengci stared at him for a few seconds before asking calmly, "What are you doing here?"
Xu Yunzhi, who had been confined at home for nearly half a month, looked a little thin, but she still tried to maintain a smile and said, "I came with my dad. My dad came specifically to visit your father."
Because of the incident where he got drunk last time, Xu's mother has not allowed Xu Yunzhi to go out. She has even hired a tutor to come to his home to guide his studies.
If it weren't for Bai Chengci's father returning, his mother probably wouldn't have agreed to let him come out with his father.
Bai Chengci wasn't surprised; she simply put her phone on silent and then led him inside.
In the living room, Bai Chengci's father was having tea and chatting with Xu's father.
After Bai Chengci went in, he politely greeted the two of them. Xu Yunzhi stood behind him and said somewhat awkwardly, "Hello, Uncle Bai."
Although Bai's father was old, his face was very dignified. The coldness that Bai Chengci possessed could still be seen in his eyes. Just sitting there casually, his aura of high position and power was enough to make people feel suffocated. What's more, Xu Yunzhi was a junior who had never seen any storms.
He was actually terrified of Bai Chengci's father.
No matter how kind his father was, he was still a little afraid.
Seeing his son's timid and submissive demeanor, Xu's father sighed.
He then stood up, seemingly to pour tea for Bai's father, but instead greeted Bai Chengci with a smile: "Xiao Ci is back. Look, speak of the devil and he appears. It feels like a long time. Xiao Ci is even more mature now."
Bai Chengci nodded slightly: "Uncle Xu is joking."
His bureaucratic air was exactly like his father's. Xu's father smiled but didn't say anything.
Mr. Bai chuckled softly and looked at Bai Chengci, asking, "Didn't you have class today?"
Bai Chengci said, "I've taken leave."
Mr. Bai: "Yes, studying is important, but you should also relax when it's time to relax."
Bai Chengci nodded and replied, "Okay, I'll go up first."
Xu Yunzhi immediately added, "I'll go up with Brother Cheng Ci first."
Mr. Bai withdrew his gaze and waved his hand, saying, "Go."
Mr. Xu sat back down on the sofa and said with a smile, "Your son Cheng Ci is so outstanding that even we fathers can't help but envy you."
Mr. Bai took a sip of tea and laughed heartily: "It's just his own hard work."
Although that's what she said, the satisfaction she felt for her son was impossible to hide in her eyes.
As a longtime friend, how could Xu's father not know him?
The key point is that Bai Chengci was born to him late in life, and he is also an outstanding person. Who knows how much his old friend cherishes his son?
Mr. Xu sighed, "We still need to teach Yunzhi and Xiaoci to learn from them..."
Mr. Bai smiled but didn't say anything.
……
Xu Yunzhi followed Bai Chengci upstairs. After they went to the study, he closed the door and asked Bai Chengci anxiously, "Brother Chengci, have you seen Brother Jiang at school?"
Bai Chengci placed the drink in her hand on the desk, remained silent for a moment, and then hummed in agreement.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yunzhi became immediately excited and rushed to his side, asking, "How is Brother Jiang? He..."
For some unknown reason, Xu Yunzhi abruptly stopped asking questions, and then a self-deprecating smile appeared on her face.
Do I even need to ask whether he's good or bad?
The one who gets dumped, the one who can't move on, is always yourself.
Seeing his distraught appearance, Bai Chengci calmly replied, "He's fine."
"I knew it..." Xu Yunzhi smiled bitterly, and her shoulders slumped.
His eyes immediately reddened, and the grievances he had suffered for many days made him unable to hold back his accusations and disappointment.
Bai Chengci listened quietly for a moment, her face still expressionless.
He remained silent for a while, then suddenly said, "You've already broken up, let it go."
