After speeding for several hours, the car slowly drove into the manor.

Zhou Xinyao was in a daze just now. When she came to her senses, she found that the car had stopped in the front yard of the manor.

Dong Ming turned sideways and said, "Madam, we are home now."

"Are you home? Didn't you say you were going to my place?" Zhou Xinyao asked Dong Ming.

Dong Ming bowed his head slightly and replied, "Young Madam, the master just said that he would personally welcome you and Miss Ziqing here."

"Here? I can, but I'm afraid Ziqing..."

Zhou Xinyao thought that she would definitely meet those annoying guys here again, especially Sheng Wan. Zhang Ziqing would definitely be very angry when she saw him.

Just as Zhou Xinyao was about to refuse, Bai Zhenlin came to the car accompanied by An Shixian.

"Xinyao, I didn't expect you to come back so soon. Get out of the car quickly."

Bai Zhenlin said with a kind smile.

"Dad...we..."

Bai Zhenlin saw through what Zhou Xinyao was thinking at a glance, and said with a smile: "Xinyao, don't worry, they are all away, and I am the only old man at home."

An Shixian was afraid that Zhou Xinyao didn't understand, so he further explained: "The master was afraid that they would affect everyone's mood, so he asked them to leave temporarily."

Hearing the sound of conversation outside, Zhang Ziqing opened her eyes with difficulty.

Zhang Ziqing had hardly slept well these past few days, and coupled with excessive tears, her eyes were red and her eye bags were swollen, making her look extremely haggard.

"Ziqing, are you awake?" Bai Zhenlin greeted Zhang Ziqing who was in the car.

"I'm here..."

Zhang Ziqing looked outside the car and instantly realized that she had arrived at the Bai family's manor, the place she least wanted to be.

"Xinyao, how can we..."

Zhang Ziqing hugged Zhou Xinyao's arm and whispered anxiously.

"Ziqing, don't be afraid, I'm home alone," Bai Zhenlin said with a smile.

"Ms. Ziqing, President Bai has come specially to welcome you. Please get out of the car," said An Shixian.

Zhou Xinyao smiled at Zhang Ziqing, signaling to her not to be afraid, as she was here for her.

Zhang Ziqing followed Zhou Xinyao and got out of the car and went into the house.

It can be seen that the house has been carefully decorated and the air is filled with a sweet smell.

"Are you hungry? If so, shall we eat early?" Bai Zhenlin asked the two of them.

"I'm indeed a little hungry," Zhang Ziqing said with a somewhat stiff expression.

Zhang Ziqing wanted to finish her meal early and go home early to avoid staying here all night long and having trouble.

"Then let's eat and talk~"

Bai Zhenlin smiled and waved as he rushed towards the two people.

Zhang Ziqing and Zhou Xinyao sat side by side, and Bai Zhenlin sat opposite them.

There was a large square table filled with dozens of dishes. Even if you took a bite of each dish with your chopsticks, you would be almost full.

"Please feel free to do so," Bai Zhenlin said with a smile.

Zhou Xinyao smiled faintly and picked up the chopsticks.

Being alone with Bai Zhenlin, I also felt a different kind of awkwardness and shyness.

Although Zhou Xinyao is already the legitimate young lady of the Bai family, she always feels that she has not integrated into the Bai family at all.

Especially when she was with Bai Zhenlin, she really couldn't relax at all.

Perhaps it was the first time that Zhou Xinyao felt the presence of her father-in-law, and she still felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhang Ziqing just focused on eating, not caring about her image, she just wanted to finish her meal and go back quickly.

When Bai Zhenlin saw the gray hair on Zhang Ziqing's head, his heart trembled.

"Ziqing, your hair...Alas~ It seems you have been worrying too much about it recently!" Bai Zhenlin sighed.

Zhang Ziqing forced a smile and replied, "Isn't it just gray hair? It's not like I'm going to die. Besides, there's nothing to be afraid of when I die."

Zhang Ziqing now really doesn't care about life and death.

"Ah~ It hurts me to see you like this. Sheng Wan is like half a son to me. Seeing you two fighting like this, I feel so bad..."

Before Bai Zhenlin finished speaking, Zhang Ziqing put down her chopsticks and quickly stood up.

"Excuse me, I'm full and want to go for a walk."

"Zi Qing..."

Bai Zhenlin wanted to persuade Zhang Ziqing again, but when he saw that Zhang Ziqing was angry, he swallowed the rest of his words.

Bai Zhenlin asked Zhang Ziqing to come to the manor because he really wanted to do some ideological work on her, but he didn't expect Zhang Ziqing's attitude to be so resolute.

Seeing Zhang Ziqing walking towards the yard, Zhou Xinyao said to Bai Zhenlin awkwardly: "Dad, Ziqing is still emotionally unstable. I'll go and see her."

"Go, go," Bai Zhenlin replied with a smile.

Zhou Xinyao immediately stood up and chased after him to the backyard.

Seeing Zhou Xinyao chasing after him, Zhang Ziqing stopped, turned around and said to Zhou Xinyao: "Xinyao, let's go back to your place. If you are not full, I will treat you to another meal."

Zhang Ziqing's serious expression looks a little funny.

"Haha, okay~ Let's go back now. My father-in-law won't be angry."

"Shall we go say goodbye to him together?" Zhou Xinyao said to Zhang Ziqing.

Zhou Xinyao feels that etiquette should still be observed.

Zhang Ziqing knew what Zhou Xinyao meant and followed her to the restaurant.

Bai Zhenlin sat alone at the table smoking a cigarette, looking extremely lonely.

When Bai Zhenlin saw two people walking in at the same time, he knew that they were going to say goodbye to him.

"dad……"

Bai Zhenlin replied in a hoarse and choked voice: "I understand, you guys go back, and contact me in time if there is anything~"

Looking at the two daughters-in-law in front of him, Bai Zhenlin felt infinite emotion in his heart.

In Bai Zhenlin's imagination, his daughter-in-law should be a rich lady in the same chamber of commerce, and she should exude an air of wealth and status in the way she behaves and does things.

For example, Zou Jieyuan from the Zou family is the daughter-in-law that Bai Zhenlin imagined. If the two families were not on bad terms, Bai Zhenlin would have wanted to ask someone to act as a matchmaker.

What Bai Zhenlin never expected was that Bai Yunchuan, his son whom he was so proud of, actually fell in love with a divorced woman.

When Bai Zhenlin heard about this, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Bai Zhenlin also thought about getting Bai Yunchuan to come back, but unfortunately, Bai Yunchuan plunged into love and never looked back.

Sheng Wan then fell in love with Zhou Xinyao's best friend Zhang Ziqing, which was a double blow to Bai Zhenlin.

Later, Bai Zhenlin also came to terms with it. It was Bai Yunchuan's freedom to like whomever they wanted, and as an elder, he should not become a stumbling block on their marriage, but should do his best to help them.

Once you let go of everything, the depression in your heart will disappear.

"Dad, we'll go back first. If you need us to do anything, we'll come as soon as possible."
