Chapter 555 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
When Bai Chengci returned home, she received a phone call from Xu Yunzhi's mother.
Because Xu Yunzhi was drunk, his mother called to ask about the situation.
The two families were old friends, and Xu's mother had always trusted Bai Chengci. She raised her son almost exactly like Bai Chengci, not only being strict in every aspect, but also not allowing Xu Yunzhi to go astray.
Especially the fact that he got drunk, which had never happened before.
Since the driver who took Xu Yunzhi home was from the Bai family, Xu's mother called and asked softly, "Cheng Ci, tell Auntie, has Yunzhi encountered something recently? He never drinks before, how come he's so drunk this time?"
Bai Chengci's light-colored eyes rolled indifferently, and she only said, "Perhaps you've encountered some unpleasant things recently."
Xu's mother's breathing quickened, and she suddenly said, "Cheng Ci, tell me the truth, is he in love?"
Actually, when Xu Yunzhi inexplicably ran out of her room and cried in the yard last time, her mother had already become suspicious.
This time it was even worse. Not only was he drunk, but when the driver brought him back, he was still acting crazy, constantly shouting that he didn't want to break up.
Bai Chengci remained silent for a moment upon hearing this, without answering immediately.
But such silence sounded like tacit agreement to Xu's mother.
Xu's mother took two deep breaths, exasperated: "Well, you've made yourself like this just by dating."
She paused, seemingly realizing her tone was a bit harsh, and then earnestly said, "Auntie isn't against him dating, but his father and I have always hoped that he can study abroad later. At this stage, we still hope that he will focus on his studies."
"Even if we take a step back and assume he does date, I hope he dates a girl who is equally outstanding, not... like tonight, which is so improper."
Bai Chengci gave a faint "Mmm": "I understand, Auntie."
Xu's mother smiled, as if she had found some comfort in Bai Chengci's response. She sighed and said, "If only Yunzhi could be as sensible as you."
"I heard from your mother that you're going abroad later, is that right?"
Bai Chengci lowered her eyes and said, "Mm."
Xu's mother smiled and said, "That would be wonderful. Yunzhi can go out with you and broaden her horizons."
Bai Chengci remained silent.
Xu's mother didn't say much more, but in the end, she seemed to remember something and asked Bai Chengci hesitantly, "By the way, is the girl who is dating Yunzhi a girl named Jiang Ge?"
"..."
Bai Chengci paused for a few seconds, then calmly said, "I'm sorry, Auntie, I'm not quite sure about that."
Xu's mother said, "Alright, then I won't bother you any longer."
Bai Chengci waited for the other party to hang up.
After Xu's mother passed away, Bai Chengci sat by the wine cabinet at home for a long time, holding her phone.
The aunt had already prepared dinner. As she was carrying the dishes out of the kitchen, she suddenly heard a "bang," as if something had been smashed, making a loud crash.
She was so frightened that she trembled and almost spilled the food.
After placing the dishes on the table, she hurriedly walked towards the source of the loud noise.
Before I even got close, I could smell the strong, pungent odor of alcohol.
When the aunt looked closely, she found that the scene was a complete mess, with wine mixed with various broken pieces spilled on the ground.
The aunt looked up and saw that the owner's row of valuable wine cabinets had all been smashed.
Amidst the fragments, Bai Chengci stood quietly. Seemingly sensing someone's arrival, he turned and glanced back indifferently.
The aunt was terrified and hurriedly asked, "Young master, what's going on?"
Bai Chengci didn't say anything, but stepped over the broken pieces and went upstairs.
The aunt stared blankly at the bottles of liquor, standing there helplessly, unsure of what to do.
A few minutes later, Bai Chengci came downstairs with several stacks of red cash in her hand and handed them to the aunt.
"What is this?" the aunt asked, somewhat puzzled.
Bai Chengci paused for two seconds, then said, "I'm sorry to trouble you with cleaning."
"I will explain this to my mother, so please don't worry."
The aunt shook her head and refused: "No need, young master. This is what I should do anyway. You don't need to give me any money. Besides, this is too much..."
Bai Chengci said, "It's alright, I don't need it anyway."
After saying that, he put the money in the aunt's hand and went upstairs again.
The aunt held the things in both hands, watching his departing figure with some confusion.
She's been working here for so long, and she's never seen anything like it.
After all, in her memory, the host family's child was emotionally stable to an almost frightening degree.
……
On Saturday, Jiang Jinya went shopping with her best friend.
Jiang Xiyu was worried about leaving her alone, so he canceled his appointment with Zhou Xi and the others and decided to take her there himself.
Jiang Jinya's eyes lit up when she heard that Jiang Xiyu was going to give her a ride.
She asked hopefully, "Brother, can you take me on your motorcycle?"
In fact, besides the car that Lu Ziqi drove for him, Jiang Xiyu also had a motorcycle that he bought with his own savings.
However, he rarely rides this vehicle with passengers.
The only time was when Jiang Jinya was about to miss school, so Jiang Xiyu drove her around.
Unexpectedly, the little girl remembered it after returning home.
Perhaps influenced by him, the little girl also really likes such cool and stylish cars.
Jiang Xiyu was with her, and even the Kawasaki H2 could only go at a snail's pace.
Therefore, he decisively refused: "No."
Jiang Jinya stepped forward and took his hand, pouting, "Brother, please take me on your motorcycle. I told you my brother is more handsome than celebrities, but they don't believe me."
"They all think I'm lying, boohoo~ If you don't give me a gift, I'll have no friends left."
"And it's so hot outside, driving this car is perfect, you can even enjoy the breeze, wow~"
As Jiang Jingya spoke, she blew at Jiang Xiyu twice.
Jiang Xiyu glanced out the window; it was hot there.
But he eventually couldn't stand his sister's persistent pestering and nodded in agreement.
The weather in May is perfect, with sunlight filtering through the branches and leaves.
The deep rumble of the engine suddenly shattered the tranquil atmosphere, and like a black panther, it slowly drove along the road.
Jiang Jinya, wearing a white Hello Kitty helmet, sat behind Jiang Xiyu. When an old man riding a small electric scooter passed by, she finally couldn't help but mutter, "Brother, are you driving a rocking horse? It's really slow."
Jiang Xiyu ignored her and continued driving very slowly.
Therefore, while waiting at the traffic light, passersby frequently glanced at the car, some wondering how such a cool car could be driven like a little turtle.
Jiang Jingya accepted the stares, then sighed deeply, buried her head in Jiang Xiyu's back somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Brother, maybe I should walk."
"..."
Jiang Xiyu smiled, raised his hand and moved the helmet and glasses up, revealing a pair of sharp and deep eyes set off by the black helmet, as well as a few strands of hair falling in front of his forehead.
As he turned to speak to the person behind him, his gaze seemed to inadvertently sweep over the Maybach parked beside him.
Through the car window, the young man, dressed in all black, was slender and tall, with his legs slightly bent and supporting him on the ground. His matte black helmet reflected a mysterious light, making him appear unruly and extremely eye-catching to those inside the car.
As the red light at the intersection counted down, Bai Chengci watched quietly, without blinking.
Only after the roar of the motorcycle had passed and his gaze swept over the slender figure on the back seat did the window roll down.
Bai Chengci lowered her eyes, remained silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly said to the driver, "Follow that black motorcycle."
