Chapter 24: Teach a Lesson

"This is something you should ask your dead mother!" Bai's mother sneered from the side.

Bai Xiaoai's eyes flashed, and she had an urge to slap this woman hard.

If it weren't for her, her mother's life wouldn't have been so tragic.

But she held back, raised her eyes wearily, and said in a calm voice, "If you want my mother's money, you can go to hell to find her! Or let my mother come and take you down with her, how about that?"

"You..." Bai's mother's face changed, and she pointed at her tremblingly, taking a long time to utter a word.

"Little brat!" Bai's father yelled angrily and slapped her hard again.

Bai Xiaoai had expected that this would anger them and that she would be beaten again, but she didn't dodge and continued to endure their oppression as always.

However, this time, the pain didn't come for a long time. When Bai Xiaoai opened her eyes, she saw that Bai's father's hand was tightly held by the clock butler, who had appeared out of nowhere.

"What are you doing!" The clock butler's face turned iron, and he shouted sharply.

Bai's father quickly smiled and said, "Teaching my daughter a lesson for not listening!"

The clock butler threw Bai's father's hand away and warned in a deep voice, "She is not someone you can educate!"

"What do you mean?" Bai's father didn't understand and looked at his wife, who was also confused.

The clock butler's eyes were cold and stern. "The literal meaning!"

Bai Xiaoai wasn't surprised. If the owner of this house was really Qiao Minghe, then it was only natural for the clock butler to stand on her side.

She smiled slightly at the butler and then turned and left.

"Cousin, what's going on? Why does she seem so noble?" Bai's mother quickly tried to please her distant cousin.

The butler had no patience to say anything more to her and just gave her a fierce look before turning and leaving.

As soon as Bai Xiaoai left, the luxurious Bentley that had brought her here was waiting outside again.

Bai Lei also came to the courtyard in the countryside when Bai Xiaoai arrived.

"Xiaoai, where did you get so much money? You paid off all your debts, and you bought this house back?" Bai Lei hurriedly walked towards her, looking anxious.

"Let's go inside and talk!" Bai Xiaoai took out the key from her bag and opened the gate.

Before entering, Bai Lei looked back at the luxurious Bentley that had brought Xiaoai here.

"What's going on? Where did you get so much money?" Bai Lei had just raised the money to buy the house back when he found out that it had been transferred to Bai Xiaoai's name.

Bai Xiaoai checked the pharmaceutical equipment in the room and fortunately, everything was intact.

She looked up and smiled at Bai Lei, who was following closely behind her. "Qiao Minghe helped me pay off the debt and bought this house for me."

"Him? Why did he help you?" Bai Lei's forehead furrowed involuntarily. No matter how rich and powerful a person was, they couldn't just casually spend so much money to help a stranger.

Bai Xiaoai told Bai Lei about the transaction with Qiao Minghe, but she didn't mention what had happened at the hotel that night.

As Bai Lei's face grew darker and darker, she reached out and patted his shoulder gently, comforting him, "You know, I can never be with Yuan Luoye. It's actually pretty good to be able to marry a man like Qiao Minghe."

"Bullshit!" Bai Lei was furious. "How could such a wealthy and powerful man suddenly take a liking to you and marry you? There must be some conspiracy behind this."

"What conspiracy could there be? He paid off my debts of several tens of millions. Even if he had some ulterior motive, I'm not worth that much." Bai Xiaoai smiled faintly. She also felt that Qiao Minghe had another purpose in marrying her, but she had carefully considered it and thought that it was worth trading her marriage for several tens of millions of debts.

"Maybe he thinks you look like that Mu Yue and is using you as a substitute!" Bai Lei suddenly remembered this and his eyes flickered.

"Maybe! He even thought I was someone else and changed my identity, but I've always been called Bai Xiaoai." Bai Xiaoai said, looking at Bai Lei, who had been by her side for so many years, and asked, "Right?"
