Chapter 164 Halo Shattered
"Brother Chen, did you meet Tingting when you were little?" Bai Zhi asked.
Chen Xiao frowned, glanced at him, and corrected his wording: "Uncle, I am only four years old now."
Bai Zhi: "..."
He said, "Didn't Brother Chen tell you not to call me uncle?" If Chen Xiao regains his senses one day and finds out that he called him uncle, he'll definitely mess with him.
"What did I call you? Zhongdeng!"
Bai Zhi coughed and said, "Call me—" Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the other party: "I know, I'll call you Xiao Bai from now on."
Little...Little White?!
Bai Zhi silently complained.
It felt like I was being treated like a dog by the other person.
Little did people know that when Chen Xiao was a child, his family had a Samoyed named Da Bai.
Seeing that the topic had gone off track again, Bai Zhi could only forcefully steer it back: "Brother Chen, you haven't answered my question yet."
"I remember you didn't know Tingting when you were little?"
These people all knew something about Chen Xiao's childhood.
An orphan with no parents was adopted by a butcher.
Bai Zhi always remembered that Chen Xiao grew up in Yuewan Town, and there was never a little girl named Yanting around him.
To everyone's surprise, Chen Xiao said, "Tingting and I grew up together. She is my favorite friend."
Bai Zhi looked at Chen Xiao with a somewhat complicated expression.
Could it be that intellectual decline has led to memory problems as well?
after awhile.
Chen Xiao suddenly asked, "Have you seen my parents?"
Bai Zhi looked blank: "Parents?" Then he shook his head: "Brother Chen, you... are an orphan."
Chen Xiao was taken aback.
Although his IQ is only that of a four-year-old, it doesn't mean he's stupid.
Only now has he realized that his parents, as well as his grandparents, have never appeared.
Thinking about this, Chen Xiao felt somewhat lost and disappointed.
He felt he must be dreaming.
Seeing Chen Xiao's sudden look of sadness and dejection, Bai Zhi was shocked: "Brother Chen, what's wrong?"
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said you were an orphan."
Chen Xiao said dejectedly, "I want to see Tingting."
Bai Zhi hesitated for a moment: "I will take you to meet your sister-in-law, but not now, at least not now. How about we wait a while longer?"
Chen Xiao kept his head down and remained silent.
Seeing this, Bai Zhi couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
If Brother Chen isn't kept an eye on, things could easily get out of hand.
He was also worried about the other person going outside.
Tan Yi and Si Munan returned to Yancheng yesterday.
Tan Yi originally wanted to tell Yan Ting about Chen Xiao's situation, but Bai Zhi stopped her.
"Brother Chen, it's best not to tell your wife about this situation for now." He could tell that his wife had something important to do in Hong Kong.
If Yan Ting knew about Chen Xiao's situation, he would probably rush to Jingzhou without stopping.
But to be honest, Jingzhou is far more dangerous than Gangcheng; kidnapping, shootings, and extortion are common occurrences here.
There are also many people involved in the underworld.
Upon hearing this, Tan Yi could only temporarily conceal Chen Xiao's situation.
Fearing that something else might happen to Chen Xiao, Bai Zhi had been acting as both father and mother during this time, and she looked more than ten years older in an instant.
Of course, this is not the most painful part.
The most painful thing is that this child is an unconventional child.
He wasn't interested in the toys that ordinary children would have.
Watching Chen Xiao firing his gun, Bai Zhi felt a chill run down her spine.
At that moment, the butler came over.
"Young Master Bai, we have a guest visiting."
Bai Zhi said impatiently, "Tell him to get lost."
Can't you see he's breastfeeding the baby right now?
The butler paused for a moment, then said, "It's Miss Bo who has arrived."
Bai Zhi frowned: "What's she doing here?"
The butler looked at Chen Xiao, who was disassembling a gun.
Bai Zhi then realized that Bo Mian seemed to like Chen Xiao.
After Chen Xiao returns, Bo Mian will definitely come over to curry favor with him.
Bai Zhi wouldn't give any other person the slightest face, but he still had to show some respect to the person behind Bo Mian.
However, Chen Xiao is in a situation where he cannot meet outsiders.
What if the truth comes out?
So he had his steward trick Bo Mian into leaving.
Who knew that Bo Mian would actually force his way in.
Bai Zhi's face immediately darkened.
"Miss Bo, isn't it extremely impolite of you to trespass on someone else's territory like this?"
Bai Zhi seems unreliable to Chen Xiao and those Chen Xiao approves of, but if an unexpected situation arises, he is more reliable than anyone else.
Bo Mian was still somewhat wary of Bai Zhi, so she smiled and said, "I just missed Brother Xiao so much that I wanted to come and see him."
Bai Zhi scoffed, "I hope so." He knew exactly what Bo Mian was planning; he simply wanted to curry favor with Brother Chen to gain benefits for his family.
Bo Mian dressed up specially today, her Chanel-style outfit and exquisite makeup giving her the look of a fashionable beauty.
but……
Bai Zhi thought about it and decided that his sister-in-law was prettier.
"Where's Brother Xiao?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Bo, Brother Chen doesn't want to see you right now. Miss Bo, you should go back!"
Bo Mian had finally managed to seize the opportunity to return to Jingzhou, so how could he possibly go back so easily?
Seeing that Bo Mian was unwilling to go back, Bai Zhi's voice turned cold: "Miss Bo, do you need me to have someone ask you to leave?"
Bo Mian frowned and secretly glared at Bai Zhi.
"I don't believe you. Let Brother Xiao say it to my face."
"Xiao Bai." It was Chen Xiao's voice.
Bai Zhi turned her head and saw Chen Xiao.
He looked at the butler.
The butler sighed at him.
He wanted to stop them too.
But even if Chen Xiao's IQ deteriorates, he still can't stop him.
Bo Mian's eyes lit up when he saw Chen Xiao: "Brother Xiao."
Chen Xiao frowned: "Xiao Bai, who is this old lady?"
Auntie...?
Bo Mian felt as if struck by lightning.
She looked at Chen Xiao with a wronged expression: "Brother Xiao, where do I look old?"
Chen Xiao looked at her expressionlessly: "Don't try to act young at your age."
Bo Mian looked at him in disbelief.
Bai Zhi was initially quite worried.
But at this moment, he felt like laughing.
Bo Mian was indeed three years older than Chen Xiao.
In addition, Chen Xiao's intelligence is only that of a four-year-old. Doesn't she look like an old aunt?
In the end, Bo Mian was driven away by Chen Xiao's anger.
Watching Bo Mian run away, Chen Xiao asked with some doubt, "Is there something wrong with her brain?"
puff--
Bai Zhi laughed out loud.
"Well done, Brother Chen."
Now that his sister-in-law isn't here, he has to keep a close watch on Chen Xiao's surroundings.
-
Inside Yancheng Hospital.
After Lu Huai woke up, he felt that something was wrong with his body.
His legs?
Lu Huai subconsciously touched his thigh.
They discovered that both legs had lost all feeling.
"Crackling——"
When they heard noises coming from the ward, the nurses and doctors immediately pushed the door open and came in.
Next up were Old Master Lu and Gu Qianqiu.
They pushed open the ward door and saw Lu Huai lying on the floor with a pained expression on his face.
Old Lu rushed over immediately: "Ah Huai!"
Lu Huai did not respond; he just roared in pain, "My leg."
With tears streaming down his face, Grandpa Lu said, "Your leg injury is only temporary. Don't worry, Grandpa will do everything he can to treat you."
However, Lu Huai didn't listen at all. He frantically pounded his legs, feeling like he was about to collapse.
Seeing his grandson in such pain, Old Lu couldn't help but have tears well up in his eyes.
With tears in her eyes, Gu Qianqiu looked at Lu Huai, who was being carried onto the bed: "Huai, don't do this."
Lu Huai: "..."
He looked at his legs, his eyes gradually becoming numb.
No one knew that at this moment, the protagonist's halo would be completely shattered.
