The two men looked at each other in confusion, and Da Zhuang said, "I didn't hear anything. What about you two?"
Red Hair and Mr. Mouse shook their heads at the same time, indicating that they didn't hear anything either.
Redhead: "I'm a light sleeper, so I can usually hear any sound, not to mention knocks on the door, I can even hear slightly louder footsteps. But I really didn't hear anything yesterday."
She swallowed as she spoke, "Could it be haunted?"
As she said this, she subconsciously looked at Da Zhuang.
An expert in the supernatural, he is quite familiar with this area.
Da Zhuang hesitated a little: "No way, ghosts in general stories appear in places with heavy yin energy. The yang energy here is so strong, it can't be haunted, right?"
Baili Xin kindly advised: "What if there is a real disturbance? Just in case, you should leave first."
"Oh, I understand. I understand everything." Da Zhuang looked at Baili Xin with a knowing look. "You must have made it up to trick us in order to drive us away. Otherwise, how come you heard it and we didn't hear anything?"
"I just don't understand. I just want uncle and aunt to invest in my live studio. Why do you keep stopping me?" He looked at Baili Xin helplessly. "Please, brother. My live studio really needs this money. Without this money, my studio will be disbanded soon."
Baili Xin: "..."
"Hey, what are you guys talking about at the stairs so early in the morning?" A familiar voice came from the second floor. Baili Xin looked over and saw a woman wearing a light home silk pajamas, standing on the steps and looking towards the building.
When Da Zhuang saw the woman, he immediately put on a warm face, "Auntie, good morning, did we disturb you?"
The woman covered her mouth and chuckled, "How could that be? Auntie got up much earlier than you. The air outside is very good today, and breakfast will take a while. It's just right for you to go for a walk outside and come back for dinner."
"Da Zhuang," the woman called to Da Zhuang, "Do you have anything to do after breakfast?"
Da Zhuang: "No, Auntie, just tell me what you want to say."
Woman: "Then chat with Auntie for a while later."
"Of course it's no problem," Da Zhuang said happily, "Auntie."
s419m: Hiss, so subtle.
Blissin: Hmm
s419m: Nothing, maybe I'm overthinking it.
Blissin: …
After taking a walk, Baili Xin did not see Fei Yinuo at the dining table. He only saw Fei's father and the woman in the living room.
The woman had changed into a casual outfit, her hair was casually tied up, and she was watering the flowers elegantly. Father Fei still had that warm expression, reading a financial magazine with great interest.
The two of them were busy with their own things and never communicated with each other, but they looked very harmonious.
Da Zhuang came close to Baili Xin and whispered, "Baili Xin, your mother is so beautiful. She doesn't look like she's in her forties at all. She looks like she's only in her teens. Rich people really know how to take care of themselves. We're all human beings, so why is there such a big difference between people?"
Li Manyu put down the shower head when she heard the footsteps, turned around with her graceful waist swaying, and smiled brightly at them, "Are you back from your walk? Let's go eat."
s419m: It’s still very weird.
Baili Xin: Are you talking about the relationship between Li Manyu and Da Zhuang
s419m: Yeah, it feels like there’s something… weird between the two of them.
It paused and said hesitantly: It seems that Li Manyu is seducing Da Zhuang
Baili Xin: The strangest thing is not this.
s419m: What is that
Baili Xin: Li Manyu did not do this behind Fei's father's back. She did this openly in front of him.
The strange thing is that Mr. Fei didn't look up the whole time, as if he was used to it.
Haven't you noticed that Mr. Fei and Li Manyu look very harmonious, but they are also like two separate individuals, each busy with their own things. Although they are in the same picture, they don't have much intersection with each other.
s419m: It's true. Mr. Fei is so generous that he allows Li Manyu to cheat on him
Baili Xin shook his head and retorted: There are many situations that would cause him to turn a blind eye, but magnanimity is not one of them.
s419m: What would that be
Baili Xin: Maybe it’s because of guilt. Father Fei may have done something wrong to Li Manyu in the past, so now he can only turn a blind eye.
Or they can just play their own games, which is also called magnanimity.
Father Fei closed the book and took his eyes off the magazine. He raised his calm eyes and looked at Baili Xin, then shifted his gaze to the side and fell on Dazhuang's face.
Just when Da Zhuang was getting a little nervous from being stared at by Father Fei, Father Fei smiled kindly and said, "Wash your hands and eat."
Looking at the light yet not simple breakfast in the morning, Baili Xin treated himself like a wooden man. He didn't say a word the whole time, just ate seriously, like a marginal figure. However, Da Zhuang and Li Manyu were talking and laughing during the meal, and they were very close, as if they were a family.
s419m: Host, do you want to remind Da Zhuang
Baili Xin: What are you reminding him of? How can someone who has been out of society for so long and is also a live broadcaster not understand these social practices
s419m: You mean he knew that Li Manyu was interested in him, but he still deliberately approached her? Isn't that a boyish behavior
Baili Xin:.
"Xiao Xin," Li Manyu seemed to remember that she had a son just as breakfast was about to end, "I'll ask Mrs. Zhang and the driver to take you to the hospital later."
Baili Xin paused for a moment as he was about to raise his chopsticks, then nodded obediently: "Okay."
Although Baili Xin didn't ask why, Li Manyu still explained, "Your amnesia is not a minor illness. Maybe you hurt your head in the past two days. I made an appointment for you with the best brain expert in the city yesterday. Then I will systematically check your body to see if there are any other problems."
Baili Xin said, "Okay."
Half an hour later, Baili Xin got into the business car prepared for him by the Fei family.
There were two people in the car, one was Mrs. Zhang, whom he was familiar with, and the other was the driver.
Mrs. Zhang was holding a file bag, which apparently contained his ID card and other information.
The car started. Baili Xin glanced at the gate through the window, then turned and stared at Mrs. Zhang beside him.
"Mrs. Zhang, does my mother dislike me?" Baili Xin stared at the woman and asked.
"How could that be?" Mrs. Zhang, who was already a little restrained, suddenly sat up straight and looked at Baili Xin nervously. "Which mother in the world doesn't like her own child? You are her child born after ten months of pregnancy. She loves you so much that she can't wait to love you. How could she not like you? Why do you suddenly ask this question?"
"Because she is obviously fine now, but she asked you to accompany me to the hospital for a physical examination. Why didn't she accompany me?" Amnesia is a good excuse, and even if you say something inappropriate, it will not arouse suspicion.
Mrs. Zhang: "It's not that she doesn't want to accompany you, Madam, she has something to go out for, and she doesn't have time to accompany you."
Is there anything wrong
He just heard Li Manyu asking Da Zhuang to accompany her to choose clothes. She has time to buy clothes but no time to accompany her "son" to the hospital
Baili Xin did not expose Mrs. Zhang's lie, but changed the subject and said something else, "I heard a burst of crying in the room yesterday."
"It came from the next room, the one you said was unoccupied. Didn't you say there was no one next door? Why can I hear the sound?"
A light sentence floated in the car, and Zhang's eyes, which were already somewhat at a loss, suddenly flashed with panic, "You must have heard it wrong."
"The Fei family's house is an old one, and the soundproofing of the rooms is not very good. Sometimes I would hear noises next to me in the room, and when I woke up the next day and asked, I found out that it was someone watching TV upstairs."
"Master, the sound you heard might be someone watching TV on the second floor, and it just happened to be transmitted upstairs."
"In addition to the crying, I also heard knocking on the door and banging on the windows. It suddenly happened in the early morning. I remember you specifically asked me to lock the doors and windows. Did you know that this sound would appear?"
"Ah, eh!" Mrs. Zhang laughed dryly, "You don't know that, there is a servant in the house who likes to sleepwalk at night. When he sleepwalks, he likes to go to other people's doors and bang on them. You knew about this before, but now you have lost your memory. I was afraid of scaring you, so I told you to close the door and not open it when you hear any noise. He is like that, he will leave after knocking for a while and if no one opens the door."
"As for the windows, there was a strong wind last night, which made the windows whistle. You live on the second floor, and there is no balcony outside. How could someone knock on your windows in the middle of the night?"
Baili Xin stared at Mrs. Zhang for a long time, until Mrs. Zhang lowered her head guiltily. Then he said "Oh" and did not continue to ask, "So that's how it is."
All the hesitations and instructions from yesterday were overturned by her own voice. It seemed that she didn't want to reveal too much information to me.
The two chatted idly on the way thereafter.
It looked like a casual chat, but in fact, Baili Xin was trying to get some information from the Fei family.
From the information provided by Mrs. Zhang, he also had a general understanding of the Fei family.
The Fei family started out as a real estate developer. A few years ago, they were just a family with relatively good financial conditions. Their real rise began four years ago, when Manyu Li married into the Fei family.
People outside are saying that Li Manyu brings good luck to her husband. Ever since she married Fei's father, the Fei family has been thriving, transforming from an unknown small Baotou company into a business giant that ranks among the top in the city.
It is also because of this that Fei's father dotes on Li Manyu very much, and the two are very affectionate. Whatever Li Manyu wants, Fei's father will try his best to satisfy it.
But half a year ago, Fei's father suddenly fell seriously ill.
That serious illness almost took Fei's father's life. He was bedridden at home for a long time. If Fei Yinuo had not stepped in, the company would have almost collapsed.
It was from that time that the company's rights gradually shifted to Feinuo.
This is why Fenuo plays an important role in the family.
Mr. Fei is still in the recovery stage. He has no plans to return to the company for the time being. He just leisurely reads the news and goes out for a walk every day.
This is what he learned about the Fei family from Mrs. Zhang.
As for the original owner, according to Mrs. Zhang, she was very favored in the Fei family.
It is said that not only Li Manyu loves this child very much, but Fei's father also treats this child as his own and even pays more attention to him than Fei Yinuo.
Therefore, Fei Yinuo believed that the appearance of Baili Xin threatened his position and robbed him of his father's love, so he showed strong rejection of the original owner.
This is the basic network of relationships of the Fei family that he learned from Mrs. Zhang.
While they were chatting, the car had already arrived at the hospital.
Blood test, MRI, electrocardiogram... this physical examination was very detailed and basically everything that could be checked was checked.
After the physical examination, Mrs. Zhang took Baili Xin to see a specialist clinic where they had an appointment. The specialist carefully asked Baili Xin about his feelings and finally concluded that it was temporary amnesia caused by excessive fright.
This kind of psychological illness may be able to restore memory at some opportunity. This requires the patient to maintain a good attitude and recover slowly. There is no other good way.
The doctor then prescribed some medicine for Baili Xin, and told him to take it on time and come back for a checkup every once in a while.
By the time they walked out of the hospital, it was already past noon.
It was around two o'clock in the afternoon when Baili Xin returned to the Fei family. Only Fei's father was at home. It was said that Li Manyu had dragged Da Zhuang, Red Hair and Mr. Haozi out to purchase goods, and they had not returned yet.
Mr. Fei was in the living room at the time. He seemed to have no interest in anything. Even when Baili Xin came back, he just greeted Baili Xin briefly and then continued to look down at his financial magazine.
It was already afternoon when Baili Xin finished his meal.
It was not until around five in the afternoon, when the sun was about to set, that Li Manyu and Da Zhuang happily came back carrying large and small bags.
The originally quiet and silent room instantly became warm and lively because of their arrival.
It was as if a black and white painting was turning into brilliant color at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Baili Xin happened to be sitting on the sofa at that time. When Li Manyu walked in from outside, a ray of sunset followed behind her, casting a dreamy halo on her already graceful body.
At that moment, she was so beautiful that it was shocking.
Baili Xin glanced at the person following Li Manyu.
Da Zhuang, Red Hair, and Mr. Haozi all looked at Li Manyu with an obsessed look on their faces, as if they were deeply immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves.
Their faces were flushed and they seemed to be enjoying today's shopping trip.
"Xiao Xin, husband, I'm back." Li Manyu came over with a few things as soon as she came back, "Look what I bought for you today."
She came close to Baili Xin and placed an exquisite box in front of Baili Xin, "Xiao Xin, this is for you, open it and take a look."
Baili Xin hesitantly opened the box, revealing a scarf.
Li Manyu smiled happily: "Mrs. Zhang told me that your physical examination results were all normal. I was so happy that I bought a lot of things. The fact that you are fine is the best news for our family. I can finally put down the stone that has been weighing on my heart for the past two days."
"And this is also bought for you." Li Manyu waved at Da Zhuang, who immediately came forward obediently and handed a one-meter-long square box to Baili Xin.
Li Manyu's voice was a little excited. "Open it and take a look. I bought it according to your size. It will definitely fit you."
At Li Manyu's urging, Baili Xin opened the milky white box.
Inside the box was a beautifully tailored pure white tuxedo.
White shirt, white bow tie, white jacket, white pants.
There are no other colors except white.
Li Manyu pushed Baili Xin's shoulder and said, "Isn't it beautiful? Go up and change it for mom. Mom can't wait to see what you look like in this dress."
"Bang!" A sudden loud noise broke the noisy and chaotic atmosphere, and the hall instantly became quiet.
Baili Xin held the suit box and turned his head to look where the sound came from.
It’s Mr. Fei.
At this time, Father Fei was bending over to pick up the magazine he had dropped on the ground. As he picked it up, he began to apologize in an embarrassed tone: "I'm sorry, I didn't hold it firmly and the magazine fell to the ground. Did I scare you?"
At this time, Li Manyu walked to Mr. Fei with a box in her hand, smiling, and hugged Mr. Fei's arm and leaned on his shoulder. "Honey, what are you talking about? How could I be scared by you? But you, why did the magazine fall to the ground? Did your illness relapse? Is it hurting again? Did you take your medicine on time today? Do you want me to call a doctor to see you now?"
Father Fei's smile was a little forced. He glanced at Da Zhuang indifferently before hugging Li Manyu in his arms, "I'm fine. It's been half a year. No matter how serious the illness is, I should be cured."
Li Manyu looked at Father Fei with concern: "It's ok as long as it doesn't hurt. I also brought you a gift. Open it and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Fei patted Li Manyu's shoulder lovingly, then opened the gift box, revealing a fine razor.
The moment he saw the gift, Father Fei's smile grew wider and his voice became gentler, "Thank you, ma'am."
There were some outsiders standing nearby, and this couple, whose combined age was over 100 years old, were showing their affection as if no one was around, which made Da Zhuang and the others feel very embarrassed.
Just when the situation was getting out of control, the door outside opened again.
Baili Xin looked towards the gate. The sky, which had just been filled with the dim sunset, was now pitch black.
The one who came back late at night was Fei Yinuo, whom I hadn't seen for a day. There was still that familiar sharpness between his brows. He changed his shoes at the entrance with an expressionless face and strode towards the hall.
The moment he came back, the house, which had turned colorful because of Li Manyu's return, seemed to suddenly turn back into black and white.
Fei Yinuo walked into the crowd with his long legs. Taking advantage of his height, he stood out among the crowd, feeling like a crane standing out among chickens.
He didn't say anything, just looked around with his emotionless and cold eyes. His sharp eyes started from Mr. Haozi and examined everyone one by one, finally stopping in front of Baili Xin.
When his eyes fell on the white suit in Baili Xin's hand, Fei Yinuo's face suddenly became a little gloomy.
Just when Baili Xin thought that Fei Yinuo was going to do something, Fei Yinuo just withdrew his gaze and went straight upstairs.
The depressing atmosphere gradually dissipated as he left.
The red-haired man patted his chest in fear: "I'm so scared, the young master has such a strong aura, every time he appears, he scares me half to death."
Baili Xin: “.”
During dinner, Fei Yinuo did not come down.
His presence seemed to have only a counterproductive effect on the atmosphere of the family. Without him, the dining table was Li Manyu's home turf.
After dinner, it was Li Manyu’s leisure time again.
This time, Baili Xin did not go back to his room early, but stayed to play cards with Li Manyu.
Although he was said to be playing cards with Li Manyu, Baili Xin was basically just a spectator the whole time. He just sat quietly on the side, like a most loyal spectator, watching the four people playing enthusiastically attentively.
s419m: Host, what have you gained today
Today, Baili Xin spent a full day in this house.
The end of the second game also means a day is lost.
When Li Manyu won another poker game, Baili Xin stood up and said to the people who were playing with great enthusiasm, "I'm a little sleepy. I'm going back first."
"Okay," Li Manyu's fingers were like fluttering butterflies, quickly shuttling back and forth among the cards. She threw the cards in her hand away, stood up from the chair and walked to Baili Xin, "Wait a moment."
Baili Xin: "..."
A minute later, Li Manyu came back again with a cup of water and a few pills in her hand.
Putting the pill into Baili Xin's hand, Li Manyu said seriously: "This is the medicine the doctor prescribed for you, drink it."
Baili Xin silently took the pills of unknown ingredients and said tentatively: "Okay, I'll go upstairs and drink them."
"No." The usually gentle Li Manyu's face suddenly darkened, and she stared at Baili Xin without blinking, "You are most afraid of bitterness. If I don't watch you finish drinking it, you will secretly pour out the medicine."
"No one knows a child better than his mother. My dear little Xin, good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. You will get better only if you drink the medicine."
The red-haired girl over there greeted Li Manyu.
Li Manyu urged: "Drink it quickly, and then go upstairs to sleep."
Baili Xin stared at Li Manyu.
Li Manyu at this moment seemed to be completely different from the gentle woman before. Except for the similar face, everything was different.
