Banquet II

After he finished speaking, Bai Xiao looked at the mother-son duo with reluctance before turning around and walking toward the outside of the courtyard.

"Aiya."

After Bai Xiao left, Bai Xiaochen smacked his own little head. "I forgot about Uncle's meeting gift. I'll bring it for him the next time.

Ever since he came to Liu Huo Kingdom, he had already prepared the meeting gift. Who would have known that he would actually forget about it.

"Chen'er, I will be at the Lan family residence these few days. If your Aunt Hua comes, ask her to seek me out at the Lan family residence."

Bai Yan frowned. She had come to the Liu Huo Kingdom for a period of time already. It was about time the one from Phoenix House arrived…

At this moment, in the Bai family's study, Yu Rong was pouring a cup of tea for Bai Zhenxiang. Looking at Bai Zhenxiang who was silent, she said, "Husband, don't harm your body out of exhaustion. Go and rest first."

Bai Zhenxiang sighed. "Rong'er, go and prepare a gift later. I want to visit someone."

"Husband?" Yu Rong's eyes were full of confusion as even her tone was full of questions.

"Some time back, Shadow Moon Sect sold that old residence. I've heard that the buyer was the owner of the Phoenix House, Hua Luo."

Yu Rong was stunned as she looked at Bai Zhenxiang in a peculiar manner.

She had heard of the forces Shadow Moon Sect and Phoenix House. Despite these forces being secondary sects, they were actually comparable to the royal clan.

This Shadow Moon Sect had gained its fame though assassinations. As for Phoenix House, it was a brothel. Normally established at various main streets and small alleys, it was a place where men and women enjoyed themselves, yet it was able to obtain various information around the world. Its abilities and might was not to be looked down on.

Previously, the family head had bought this residence because this residence was close to the old residence of Shadow Moon Sect. He had moved here to stay in order to suck up to the people of Shadow Moon Sect.

Who would have known that the people of Shadow Moon Sect had never once appeared in that old residence? Furthermore, they had even sold it to the brothel now…

"Husband, what should we give as a gift to Phoenix House?" Yu Rong knew the importance of this matter and asked solemnly.

"You can just prepare as you see fit. I am very assured with you dealing with matters."

Bai Zhenxiang smiled gently. He had just finished speaking when the door to the study was opened with a bang. A young maiden about seventeen or eighteen years old rushed in and pounced into Bai Zhenxiang's arms with a cry.

"Zhi'er, what happened?"

Bai Zhenxiang was extremely doting toward this daughter. He didn't blame her for barging in without seeking permission and instead asked her gently.

"Dad." Bai Zhi raised her face which was full of tears. "Bai Xiao hooked up with a woman who has a child! Today, that little b*stard purposely framed me. He knew it and he still helped that little b*stard bully me. See the wound on my face—they had done it to me."

With this, Bai Zhenxiang finally saw the claw mark on Bai Zhi's face. He instantly burst in anger and said angrily. "Bai Xiao actually dared! Servants, after he returns, make him roll over here to see me immediately!"

A ruthless intent flashed in Bai Zhi's eyes. The moment she thought about the matter that happened to today, she had a kind of impulse to rip that little b*stard into shreds.

"And that little b*stard! Daddy, you must definitely catch him for me. I want to ruthlessly give him a good beating!" 

"Father will make a decision for you in this matter!" Bai Zhenxiang's face was livid. The vein at the corner of his forehead popped and his fists were clenched till they were cracking. 

He had already originally disliked this son of his. If it were not because he only had one son, he would not have been so indulging toward him for so many years.

Now he was actually helping an outsider to bully his own biological younger sister. If he didn't discipline him ruthlessly, he would really forget his own family name!

"Husband, quell your anger," Yu Rong said, stroking Bai Zhenxiang's chest. "No matter what, Xiao'er is your son. Furthermore, the Lan family has already decided to organize a banquet for Bai Yan's return. When the time comes, Bai Xiao would definitely need to participate. If other people see him with wounds, wouldn't they misunderstand you, my husband?"
