Bai Qingdong and Liu Ruyun were very happy for her when they learned that Bai Xue’s first work received attention, but they were also puzzled. Why can her work be sold for only five million yuan? They think they can still shoot higher.

After Bai Qingdong and Liu Ruyun sent congratulatory messages one after another, Liu Ruyun begged her to go back for a meal. The whole family was happy. Bai Xue thought about it and found that she hadn't seen her parents for a long time, so she went back to her parents' house at noon the next day.

But she didn't expect to meet Lin Hanguo's wife outside the door. Her face was a little cold, and there was anger between her eyebrows and eyes. Bai Xue saw that she came from the Bai family, and it was obvious that she had just had an argument with the Bai family.

Bai Xue was also very surprised why she appeared here, but she still greeted her very politely, "Aunt Xuan."

When Aunt Xuan saw her, she sneered: "Farewell, I can't afford to say Aunt Xuan! Your people in your family have more skills than the other. We can't afford to offend us or hide!"

Bai Xue thought she was going to prison for Lin Hanguo, and was about to help her father explain that this matter had nothing to do with them, so she heard Aunt Xuan say again: "You have brought everyone into it, but it still makes people feel at ease. If you insist on someone beating him to death, just beat him to death directly, so as not to suffer from the consequences of living in it."

Bai Xue was completely shocked when she heard this. She was about to ask again, but Aunt Xuan was already leaving angrily.

Bai Xue hurried into the house, and there was only her father and mother at home. Yan Feibai was probably busy and was not at home. The atmosphere at home was a bit solemn when he entered, but the two elders were very happy to see her coming, and their mother immediately ordered the servants to serve the food.

Bai Xue didn't have the heart to eat now, so she asked Bai Qingdong directly: "Dad, I just met Aunt Xuan at the door. She said Uncle Lin was beaten inside. Is there anything wrong?"

When Liu Ruyun heard this, she snorted coldly and said, "It's so funny to say that she was often beaten inside during this period. She actually ran here to blame us, saying it seemed like we could arrange for people inside to hit people."

Bai Qingdong also sighed heavily and said, "I explained to her that it was not my work. There were many good people in it. Most of the time he got into it, he was offended by others, and only others took action. She refused to listen and insisted that it was me who did it. No matter how much I explained it, it would be useless. I will go and see Lao Lin in a few days. After all, it was a friend."

Bai Xue saw her father's face full of sorrow, guessing that this matter had nothing to do with him, but seeing Aunt Xuan's face of certainty, she decided that someone had arranged the matter for Uncle Lin to be beaten. If it weren't for his father, who would it be?

Bai Xue suddenly thought of Wei Jiaming.

Because she was thinking about things, Bai Xue was not careful when she had eaten. After eating, she talked to her parents for a while and then said goodbye and left.

When I returned to Hailan Bay, it was already dark and the snow went upstairs. I accidentally caught a glimpse of the light leaking out of Wei Jiaming's study. I didn't expect that he would come back.

Bai Xue thought about it, then walked to the door of his study and knocked on the door. Sure enough, Wei Jiaming's voice sounded inside: "Come in."

When Bai Xue pushed the door open and saw Wei Jiaming sitting in front of the computer. He stared at the screen and was looking at something seriously and focused. After a while, he looked up and saw that the person coming was Bai Xue, he was stunned for a moment. Then he realized that his reaction had gone a little. He pretended to be natural and walked out to her and smiled and asked, "Are you here to find me?"

Bai Xue nodded, then he pointed at the sofa and said, "Please sit down."

Shiraishi said: "No, I just ask you a few questions, and I'll leave after I ask."

He put his hands in his pockets, his waist and back were straight, and his smile was very decent, "Please tell me."

Bai Xue said, "When I went home today, I met Uncle Lin's wife. She said Uncle Lin was beaten in prison. I want to ask if you arranged the people who beat them?"

He was silent for a while before saying, "You are here to ask me about these?"

Bai Xue nodded with certainty.

He lowered his head and smiled, with a calm attitude: "There are all kinds of people in prison. Maybe he will attack him if he provokes others. What does this have to do with me?"

Bai Xue stared at his face, "It's really not you?"

"Yeah." He smiled and responded softly. Then his eyes slowly became complicated when he looked at her, "Isn't that worthy of your trust? I would rather believe Lin Hanguo's wife than believe me?"

Bai Xue smiled mockingly when she heard this, "Mr. Wei, don't forget how Uncle Lin got in."

Wei Jiaming's smile became deeper and deeper, "How did you get in? If you want to do bad debts, don't be afraid of being investigated. I'm just making the bad debts public."

He was so righteous, as if he had done something to eliminate harm to the people. But who knows how dirty the conspiracy was?

Bai Xue didn't say anything more and turned around and went out. However, although Wei Jiaming answered so calmly, Bai Xue didn't believe that this matter really had nothing to do with him.

Who knows what he is thinking about this mysterious guy? It's just that he just put people in, but it's even worse than death. Regardless of whether the Lin family really did bad debts, even as a former friend, shouldn't betray people. Moreover, the Lin family's investigation of bad debts was too strange. Maybe all this was arranged by Wei Jiaming.

If it was really arranged by him, then this person would be really terrible. He was like a chess player, playing a big game of chess, and each piece was walking according to his layout. He would get out of the game and give it up completely after it was eliminated. Maybe it would be completely destroyed and would not even be qualified to get out of the game to enter the chessboard again.

Where did you come from the shopping mall? Bai Xue couldn't help but think of the Bai family, with her lips and teeth cold. The Lin family is indeed sounding the alarm for the Bai family.

Wei Jiaming is really terrible. You know he is scheming and keeps calculating, but you don’t know what he is calculating, and you don’t know what he is going to do next. Perhaps just like treating the Lin family, people are caught off guard by him when they are unprepared.

Moreover, he has ruthless methods and a cruel heart. He really has no room for dealing with people, and he even dares to kill them all!

What's even more terrifying is that he treats people like this not because they offend him or hurt his interests, but because of his own ambitions. Just like the tyrants in ancient times, fighting and killing is not for justice, but for plundering and satisfying his ambition to unify the world.

What exactly should she do? How can the Bai family not follow the Lin family's footsteps? How can the Bai family not be annexed and have a place in Xiacheng?

Should we please him so that the Bai family can live a life of silence? Or should we take advantage of the fact that the Bai family still has calories and fight to the death with him?

Bai Xue was a little confused at this moment.

**

Bai Xue didn't expect that she would receive a call from Cao Yanan a few days later. The call was from Cao Yanan. She said that she liked her design very much and didn't know if she could ask her for a private custom necklace. In a few months, she would attend a major film festival abroad. She wanted to wear the necklace she designed to participate.

If Cao Yanan could really wear the necklace she designed to attend a foreign film festival, then Bai Xue's fame would be higher. With such a good publicity opportunity, how could Bai Xue let go? So she agreed very readily.

As for some design details, Bai Xue thought it would be better to have an interview with her. After all, it was customized by privately, so of course it had to be based on the preferences of the funder.

Cao Yanan thought for a while and said, "I have only finished filming a drama recently, but I don't have any itinerary and I have time to do it. I'll see you Mrs. Wei."

Shiraishi said: "I have nothing to do recently. If everyone is free, we will meet as soon as possible."

Finally, Cao Yanan agreed with her that she would meet tomorrow in a private guild hall in Baixue. This private guild hall is actually a spa hall, one of Baixue's dowry.

After Cao Yanan arrived, Bai Xue first invited her to make a spa, and then the two entered the tea room. The waiter brought the tea-making tools, and the two chatted while cooking tea.

The tea room is a kind style, with carved windows and sliding doors, which are very stylish. The two of them sat next to a sliding door. When the door opened, they could see the ancient fishing village with red walls and green tiles diagonally below and the distant sea level.

Cao Yanan looked away, took a deep breath and said, "The environment in this place is really good."

Bai Xue was not humble either and smiled and said, "It is indeed a good place to relax."

The two of them chatted casually for a while and the opening conversation was held, and Bai Xue turned the topic to the main business, "Ms. Cao has any special requirements for the necklace, so you can tell me first."

Cao Yanan said: "There are no special requirements. Mrs. Wei, you just need to design according to my overall effect."

For private customization, this requirement is really low.

Bai Xue took a sip of tea and said, "Actually, I'm very surprised. I'm just a newcomer and the design style is not very mature. Miss Cao, you have many choices, why should you choose me?"

And it is too risky to choose to wear something designed by an unknown designer when you go to such a large occasion.

Cao Yanan didn't care much, and said, "The main reason is that I like Mrs. Wei's style."

Bai Xue held the teacup, gently rubbed the edge of the cup with her thumb and index finger. She pondered for a while and said, "It's not because of Wei Jiaming, right?"

Cao Yanan's actions of drinking tea were paused, and she suddenly looked at her. Her face was still calm, and she pretended to be puzzled and said, "I don't understand what Mrs. Wei said."

Bai Xue added tea powder to the pot with a tea spoon, and said to her like chatting: "I know everything about you and Wei Jiaming before."

Cao Yanan: “…”

Cao Yanan was stunned for a while, then she took a sip of tea, not seeming to take it seriously, "That's all in the past."

"Miss Cao, don't you want to know what Wei Jiaming thinks of your past?"

When Cao Yanan heard this, she looked at her in surprise. She held the cup, was silent for a while and took a sip of tea, and then said as if she was asking casually: "What did he say?"

Bai Xue pursed her lips and chuckled. It seemed that she was really concerned, but she didn't say it out loud, just said: "He said that he and you were just a kind of restlessness in your youth. Later, when she grew up, she gradually realized that she didn't like it."

She obviously felt Cao Yanan's body stiffen for a moment, but she still smiled indifferently and said, "Whatever he says is what he says."

Bai Xue raised her eyebrows and looked at her, and said with a regretful look on her face: "Actually, I am quite worthless for Miss Cao."

Cao Yanan smiled and shook her head, "What's the point of not worth it? It's all old things."

Bai Xue shook her head and said, "Although it's an old story, I've been taken seriously by Miss Cao after all. When I was young, I was disliked by others. The people I loved said they had never liked me. I have been struggling for so many years and couldn't let go of it, but people never cared about it. Therefore, I feel worthless for Miss Cao."

Cao Yanan looked at her even more confused, "I don't understand what Mrs. Wei said."

Bai Xue sat upright, looking at her eyes, and said with a serious look: "If I were you, I was disliked, ridiculed and mocked when I had nothing, I would never let it go so easily. I can sleep on firewood and taste gall, I will sharpen my sword for ten years, and one day I will appear in front of those who once looked down on me. I will face her and tell her, look, the people you once looked down on have become like this, no matter whether he will regret it, I must give up a breath that has been accumulated for so long! Otherwise, why should I work so hard and hard?"

Bai Xue saw Cao Yanan's hands on the table tightening subconsciously. She lowered her head slightly and said without saying anything. Bai Xue continued: "The people I once liked, the people I can't let go, but he never remembered me. Not only that, he also told other women that he had never liked me. My Phoenix Nirvana was to stand in front of him one day, and use my light to make him regret it, make him regret giving up on me, and make him regret looking down on me at the beginning! But now, I remember it is me, and it is me who can't let go. The person who is good or bad is no longer concerned! But why! Why can't I let go of me alone!"

Cao Yanan didn't know if he was stimulated by these words, so she suddenly looked up and looked shocked and puzzled, with a faint anger aroused by the snow, "Mrs. Wei, you..."

Bai Xue smiled and said, "You are probably wondering why I would help you with this. In fact, although Wei Jiaming and I are husband and wife, we are just a marriage and have no feelings. I like Miss Cao very much, so I just simply can't stand what their family does. Miss Cao probably doesn't know that when our family first came here, we were often despised and looked down upon. Even now, they are often ridiculed as nouveau riche. So I understand Miss Cao's feelings very much, and I feel disgusted with those who claim to be dirty inside the family."

I don’t know if Cao Yanan believed it. She was silent for a long time and didn’t say anything. Finally, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes, her expression had returned to normal. She smiled at her and said, “It’s getting late, I have to go back to the hotel first.”

Bai Xue didn't keep her, so she hurriedly asked someone to see her off.

After Cao Yanan left, Bai Xue was still staying in the tea room. She was still holding the teacup in her hand. She closed her eyes and tightened her fingers until her knuckles turned white.

After coming out of the tea room, Bai Xue felt very tired. She drove the car but didn't know where she was going, so she wandered aimlessly. In the end, the car drove to the most lively place in the city center.

Bai Xue remembers that even Jingcheng's studio seemed to be here. It's really rare. People who like quiet and cold will open the studio here.

Bai Xue learned to draw since she was a child. After coming to Xiacheng to meet Lian Jingcheng, he began to learn to draw in order to have something to say to her. Later, Bai Xue learned jewelry design, while Lian Jingcheng learned original painting design.

Bai Xue, a jewelry designer, is just a half-baked person, and Lian Jingcheng, who is just because of her, has made some achievements in his field. He is now a very well-known master of original game paintings in China, and has left the previous game company and now he has opened a studio alone.

Bai Xue remembers that even the location of Jingcheng Studio is here anyway, so why not go and see him.

Except for the girl received by the front desk, the other staff in the studio in Jingcheng were all men. When Bai Xue followed the girl to the office in Lianjingcheng, the technical occupants all stretched their necks to look at her, just like they were watching the peacocks in the zoo.

Fortunately, the Lianjingcheng office is relatively quiet.

The receptionist sent her here and left. Bai Xue knocked on the door. Lian Jingcheng was probably busy. After a while, he responded. Bai Xue pushed the door and saw Lian Jingcheng sitting in front of the computer with glasses.

The extra glasses seemed to make his gentle face more masculinity. He was working seriously and was completely different from usual. If he was a little puppy who always smiled and looked caressed in front of her on weekdays, he was a capable and serious wolfdog at this moment.

Even Jingcheng didn't hear any movement, and subconsciously looked up. When he saw that the person was him, his eyes, which were dark due to concentration, suddenly lit up. He suddenly stood up from the table and couldn't wait to walk to her. His face was full of smiles, and there was a kind of flattery between his eyebrows and eyes.

"You...why are you here?"

Shiraishi said: "When passing by, I think your studio is here, I will come to see you. I didn't disturb you, right?"
