Chapter 1295 - 1295: United as Son-in-Law and Father-in-Law

With the support of his three children, Bai Huanyu leaned back against the headboard, sighed deeply, and said, "Actually, when I collapsed on stage, I really thought it would be better to just die.

But I'm not willing!

I'm not willing to see the Bai Family's business just fall apart like that.

I'm not willing to die while my opponents are still enjoying themselves.

More importantly, I can't let go of you three.

Flesh and blood alike, seeing how you looked just now, I... cough, cough, cough, cough!"

In the middle of his words, he started to cough violently.

Bai Tieniu and others quickly stepped forward, rubbing his back and chest, helping him catch his breath.

A moment later, Bai Huanyu raised his arm, shook it, indicating he was fine, and then pulled back the blanket covering him.

"Dad, if you need to relieve yourself, I'll go get the chamber pot," Bai Yongge said as he put the blanket back on.

Bai Lisha promptly added, "The most important thing right now is for you to rest well. I'll personally make chicken soup for you to drink later."

Bai Tieniu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent, just nodding gently.

"Now is not the time to rest." Bai Huanyu slowly shook his head and said, "Help me over to that chair and make a pot of tea. You all can get busy with your own things."

"And you?"

"I'll just sit there, waiting for the wind to come."

Hearing this, Bai Lisha and Bai Yongge exchanged glances, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

Waiting for the wind to come?

What does that mean?

Bai Tieniu pondered for a moment, frowned, and said, "Dad, you don't mean that Xiao Feng is going to come, do you?"

Bai Lisha and Bai Yongge were taken aback and quickly looked at Bai Huanyu, who nodded slightly, confirming it.

In an instant, all three of them were filled with righteous indignation, making harsh statements, saying if Xiao Feng dared to come, he'd leave with nothing.

Bai Huanyu waved his hand to stop the noise of his three children and said sternly, "If Xiao Feng comes, invite him in openly.

Enough embarrassment has been caused today, don't make it worse.

That's settled about this, we can discuss after Xiao Feng leaves!"

Before long, Bai Yongge held his arm, Bai Tieniu held his legs, and Bai Lisha handed him his shoes, treating him like... cough, no need to compare, they were serving their father.

Following Bai Huanyu's instructions, they helped him to the eight immortal table, made a pot of tea, and the three of them left the courtyard.

As soon as they exited, Bai Lisha called out to Bai Tieniu, "Wait!"

"What's up?" Bai Tieniu raised his eyebrows, showing no fear.

Bai Lisha gritted her teeth and said, "I'll pay back this slap eventually."

"Fine, I'm always here, as long as you have the ability." Bai Tieniu laughed dismissively.

"You!"

Bai Lisha was instantly angry, but then thinking of something, the corner of her mouth suddenly curved into a mocking smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Bai Tieniu asked, frowning.

Bai Lisha's smile grew wider but she didn't reply, instead, she started singing, "Chrysanthemums have fallen, the ground is filled with hurt, your smile has paled..."

Bai Tieniu's face turned pig liver red. He glanced at Bai Yongge, standing by Bai Lisha's side, eager for a fight, and could only suppress the urge to attack.

He took a deep breath and glared at Bai Lisha and Bai Yongge, saying, "You just blamed me for making Dad angry, but it's actually quite ridiculous.

The reason the Bai Family is in such a mess today is because you encouraged Dad to mess with Xiao Feng, which led to this situation.

Originally, there was nothing wrong with it. Xiao Feng took down Miao Youmin, and Miao Youmin is Bai Family's son-in-law, so it's normal for the Bai Family to intervene.

But you just stirred things up and then did nothing, acting as if nothing happened.

What is that?

Killing without burying?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Lisha and Bai Yongge both showed signs of guilt, but they remained stubborn, saying, "How do you know we didn't contribute?"

"Heh, whether you did or not, you know best." Bai Tieniu said coldly, "I just want to tell you that we are born from the same roots, don't press too hard.

We're all in the same boat, and if it capsizes, no one can escape.

Let me be honest, if Dad really hadn't woken up just now, with just you two, how could you have fought against Xiao Feng?"

After speaking, he ignored the outraged Bai Lisha and Bai Yongge, turned around, and left without looking back.

...

When Xiao Feng came to the Bai Family, he could clearly feel the malicious intent in most of the eyes that looked at him.

However, he didn't care about this.

He had already thought through the consequences of this incident, and the conclusion was... no consequences at all.

Bai Huanyu made the first bad move, and he was merely responding passively, which was reasonable.

Besides, although almost everyone believed that he, Xiao Feng, was behind the whole thing, who could present solid evidence?

Innocent until proven guilty. It's not just a saying…

Seeing Xiao Feng arrive, a flash of surprise crossed Bai Huanyu's eyes!

When he said "waiting for the wind," he wasn't entirely sure it would actually be Xiao Feng who would come; he merely predicted someone from Xiao Feng's side might show up.

But of course, now was not the time to dwell on that.

Adjusting his expression slightly, Bai Huanyu gestured invitingly, as if he didn't care at all about today's loss of face.

Xiao Feng was equally unceremonious, sat down comfortably, and said with a grin, "I heard that the Old Master Bai coughed up blood and fainted, so I rushed over here in a hurry. Didn't even have time to buy anything, sorry!"

"Nothing to apologize for, the fact is I lost this round fair and square." Bai Huanyu said calmly, "But I have a question I'm quite curious about."

"What's that?"

"Du Zhixiang, when did he start siding with you?

Was it like this when I approached him, or did you do something later on?"

Xiao Feng laughed, "A son-in-law and father-in-law on the same side, broken bones still connected by tendons.

Just like you and Miao Youmin, even after he's gone, you still stood up for him and came looking for trouble with me, didn't you?"

Bai Huanyu's expression changed, then he asked, "Since Du Zhixiang's on your side, he must have told you that I organized this ceremony to get back at you for swindling me out of fifty million.

Also, before this, you deliberately created the illusion that you weren't in Jiangcheng.

If that's the case, why didn't you wait for me to make a bigger move before showing up?"

"Master Bai," Xiao Feng raised an eyebrow, smiling, "Food can be randomly eaten, but words cannot be carelessly spoken. I have always been an honest person; how could I possibly swindle you out of fifty million?"

Anyway, not all of that batch of Original Heart Pills was counterfeit, so the fifty million figure isn't accurate.

Pausing a bit, Xiao Feng continued, "You said I deliberately created the illusion of not being in Jiangcheng, that is true, but it was a helpless move.

He Qizheng was in the limelight, and you used your connections to ensure that the enterprises on your side survived.

Under such circumstances, if I did nothing, I would probably lose people's support.

So, I had to let Chang Wenhua and the others think I was out finding opportunities for them.

After all, appearances must be maintained!"
