In any case, Jiujiu really didn't want to visit Master Bai. However, Master Bai was her father. If she didn't go, it would be unreasonable. Jiujiu was particularly conflicted.
Just when Jiujiu was struggling, Ling Shuo, who had been sitting next to her, held Jiujiu on his lap. He raised his hand and touched the tip of Jiujiu's nose. He said softly, "The doctor said that your baby is unstable and you need to rest."
Jiujiu was stunned. She suddenly turned her head and threw herself into Ling Shuo's arms. She held Ling Shuo's face and kissed him deeply. She said with a smile, "My husband, you are so good to me."
Ling Shuo probably knew that Jiujiu didn't want to go, so he directly gave his reason when she asked. He was really a good husband.
How could he not accept a beauty who took the initiative to throw herself into his arms?
Ling Shuo held Jiujiu's waist, turned around and lowered his head to deepen the kiss.
Although Madam Bai was angry that Jiujiu didn't go to visit Master Bai, Ling Shuo personally said that Jiujiu was unwell. She could only pretend to understand and said, "Since Jiujiu is unwell, you should stay at home to rest for a few more days."
She couldn't ignore Jiujiu's health problems and insisted that Jiujiu visit Master Bai.
Now that Master Bai had fallen, even if he woke up, he wouldn't have much power in his hands. After Master Bai fell, his former political enemies would jump up like leeches and suck the last bit of value from Master Bai. At that time, the only person the Bai family could rely on was Ling Shuo.
As such, the current him could not afford to offend Ling Shuo.
Ling Shuo walked around the hospital and left directly.
On the third day after Ling Shuo left, Lord Bai died under the instigation of many forces.
Old Master Bai's death announced that the Bai Family, which was once as glorious as the Ling Family, had completely declined.
The Bai family's residence had been completely burned down by the fire. Master Bai was gone. Madam Bai had to arrange Master Bai's funeral and worry about whether she had enough money. In the end, she could only dismiss all the extra servants.
The Bai family moved to a courtyard house.
For those ordinary families, the courtyard house was very spacious, not to mention that the Bai family had some servants with them.
However, those were only good for ordinary families. For the Bai Family, who used to spend money like water, this kind of life could only be described as poor.
Bai Yannan used to be a playboy, and no one in South City didn't give him face. But now, ever since Master Bai passed away, no one in South City gave him face.
Those friends who used to be good friends with Bai Yannan and called him brothers in the past had long run away.
When Bai Yannan gave them benefits in the past, they all agreed with him. Now, they knew that they couldn't squeeze any benefits out of Bai Yannan, so they kicked him away.
Bai Yannan couldn't find those people, so he went to find the second son of the Li Family.
The second son of the Li Family didn't kick Bai Yannan away like those people, but he unconsciously showed a sense of superiority when facing Bai Yannan.
In the past, when the second young master of the Li family was on good terms with Bai Yannan, the two of them were indeed on equal footing. However, now that the Bai family had declined, and without the gilding of the Bai family's reputation, Bai Yannan instantly became the playboy he used to be, turning into a useless man.
If there was really a good thing about Bai Yannan, it was probably his face.
Bai Yannan's face was very good-looking.
However, what was the use of having a good-looking face?
In this era where people were eaten without spitting out the bones, having a good-looking face without a comparable status was the most dangerous thing.
After listening to Bai Yannan's complaints for a while, the second son of the Li Family ordered his subordinates to give Bai Yannan a sum of money and ignored him.
As for the Xu Family, they were originally as shrewd as monkeys. When the Bai Family was doing well, they were on good terms with each other. But when the Bai Family fell, they instantly ran away faster than a cheetah and disappeared without a trace.
Bai Yannan originally wanted to choose not to accept the money from the second son of the Li Family for the sake of his integrity, but his life now was too difficult. In the past, he never looked at the price when he bought things. But now, when he went out, he touched his pockets and found that he was embarrassingly short of money.
It was difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
After being used to a life of squandering money like water, it was impossible for Bai Yannan to live a poor life.
Bai Yannan took the money from the second son of the Li Family and went to the tavern he used to frequent to play for a night. The next day, he dragged his tired body back with the smell of alcohol.
Once things started, they could no longer be controlled, especially Bai Yannan. After going there once, he could no longer stop. Basically, he would go there every night.
After spending all the money from the second son of the Li Family, Bai Yannan wanted to ask for money from Madam Bai.
In the beginning, Madam Bai was soft-hearted and gave Bai Yannan money. But Madam Bai had limited money in her hands, and Bai Yannan was really too good at spending money. According to the way he spent, Madam Bai's money was too much.
After giving him money a few times, Madam Bai stopped giving Bai Yannan money.
But now Bai Yannan was already addicted to it. If she didn't let him go, it was like asking for his life. Since Madam Bai couldn't get money from him, Bai Yannan thought of Fang Xiuzhu.
Before his house was on fire, he had already told Fang Xiuzhu that he would divorce Fang Xiuzhu after he divorced Liu Ye. Since they were going to get married, it was reasonable for Fang Xiuzhu to give him money.
Because he was going to find Fang Xiuzhu, Bai Yannan carefully tidied himself up for the first time. He deliberately changed into his old suit and went to the Ling Family to find Fang Xiuzhu.
However, the Ling Family, who used to let him in as soon as he stood at the door, didn't let him in like before. Instead, they blocked him at the door and said that they wanted to go in and report.
Going in and reporting was the treatment of a low-class person.
Bai Yannan stood at the top of the pyramid all his life. When had he ever been wronged like this? His face instantly darkened.
If he didn't have something to do with Fang Xiuzhu, he really wanted to leave without looking back.
Bai Yannan suppressed the anger in his heart and stood there waiting for the Ling Family's servant's reply.
But fortunately, Fang Xiuzhu didn't refuse his request and directly asked someone to take him in.
Bai Yannan walked in behind the servant. Looking at the prosperity of the Ling Family, he couldn't help but think of the Bai Family when it was intact.
At that time, life was so beautiful, but now …
Thinking of his current life, Bai Yannan's face was a little ugly.
Since the Bai Family encountered this problem, Fang Xiuzhu began to stay at home.
She didn't need to think about it. She knew what people were saying about her now.
Because Bai Yannan promised to marry her, when she was with Bai Yannan, she was particularly ostentatious. She wanted the whole world to know about her and Bai Yannan.
And she really thought that Bai Yannan would marry her. But because Liu Ye died, the Bai Family declined.
