After being kicked out of the wealthy family along with her yandere childhood friend

The elevator doors opened and closed, but Xie Lingyun didn't go in.

He was a stubborn and traditional person, and for the first time, he stubbornly wanted to know the answer to this question.

I wanted to know if there was even a hint of hesitation in Bai Tao's answer.

"worth."

Bai Tao's answer was firm and clear, without the slightest hesitation.

It was only after Pei Jin came into her life that things gradually improved.

She's living a better life than she did in her previous life, but Pei Jin isn't.

She couldn't let all the sources of his suffering be directed at her.

Falling in love with someone is nothing special; what's remarkable is continuing to love them.

Xie Lingyun smiled, reopened the elevator doors, and as the doors closed for a split second, Bai Tao heard a sentence...

"I'll have someone deliver an invitation to you. Congratulations, you're eligible now."

The moment the elevator doors closed, Xie Lingyun looked at his reflection in the elevator.

Bai Tao already has a boyfriend.

Just a moment ago he was thinking,

If there was even the slightest hesitation in her tone, would he still have a chance?

But if she hesitates, will he still like her?

But Bai Tao did not hesitate, which meant that he was not qualified to like Bai Tao, because he could not bring himself to do something that violated morality.

But he couldn't go against his own heart.

After confirming that Bai Tao remained steadfast in her choice of her lover, he seemed to appreciate her even more.

As soon as the elevator doors closed, Bai Tao immediately closed the doors and returned to her room.

Only a small, warm yellow light was on in the bedroom. Pei Jin lay on the bed, his arm covering his face, his brows furrowed.

"Hmm."

Just as Bai Tao was about to go out to make a hangover soup, she heard him make a painful sound.

She turned and ran into the bathroom, grabbed a blue basin, and placed it beside the bed.

Afraid that he would choke when he vomited, she struggled to pull him up and made him lie face down on the edge of the bed.

Pei Jin gagged a few times, then vomited with a "whoosh".

Bai Tao held her breath, turned her head away with a hint of disgust, but still didn't let go of her hand on his shoulder.

Pei Jin vomited twice more before he slowly recovered.

Bai Tao poured him a glass of water to rinse his mouth, and then helped him take off his socks and coat.

"Fool."

She put on gloves and scrubbed the basin twice with disgust. The smell was so awful that she tried to hold her breath, but still gagged twice from the stench.

After finishing her work, she changed into fluffy cat pajamas, took out her phone, and searched for a hangover remedy recipe.

Follow the steps above

She took two apples out of the refrigerator, peeled and chopped them, put them in a pot of cold water, brought them to a boil, added rock sugar, and waited for the rock sugar to dissolve before turning off the heat and adding honey.

After she finished making it, she blew on it, took a sip, and found it quite delicious.

It's pretty simple, but it cools down too slowly.

In the dead of winter, Bai Tao opened the window a crack, reached out, placed the bowl on the security bars to hold it in place, and let the cold wind blow on it for five minutes before bringing it back in, where the temperature was just right.

Pei Jin,

She gently shook his shoulder.

He frowned, trying hard to open his eyes, but couldn't. Finally, he instinctively responded with a sound.

"Um."

She helped him up.

"Get up and drink the hangover soup, otherwise you'll feel terrible tomorrow."

Pei Jin squinted, looking at the person in front of him who was patiently feeding him spoonful by spoonful. His voice was a little hoarse.

"Honey, did you make this?"

"Hmm. What else? Did you conjure it up?"

"Wife."

"Um?"

Pei Jin's tears suddenly flowed down his face; this was the first time Bai Tao had ever seen him cry.

"Am I really useless? Have I embarrassed you?"

Pei Jin never cared about his pride; he knew that pride was worthless in the face of money.

But he couldn't let Bai Tao lose face.

Although he was drunk, he remembered everything that happened that night.

He suddenly hugged Bai Tao like a bear, startling her. She almost spilled the hangover soup in her hand, with a few drops splashing onto her hand.

"Why,"

She called out softly.

It wasn't hot, but she was still afraid of spilling it on the sheets. Pei Jin wasn't awake yet, and she didn't want to change the sheets herself.

Where she couldn't see, Pei Jin's tears flowed even more fiercely.

He held her with one arm and covered his eyes with the other.

He clearly thought things would get better and better.

Bai Tao felt her pajamas getting wetter on her right shoulder. She stretched out her arm and laboriously placed the bowl on the bedside table, gently patting his back.

With her other hand touching his hair, her heart ached, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"It's fine,"

"Pei Jin, it's alright."

"I won't leave you alone."

She coaxed him to sleep, gently pulled her arm away, glanced at her phone, and saw it was already 2 a.m.

She pulled her suitcase out from under the bed, knelt on the living room floor, and without turning on the lights, slowly opened the hidden compartment by the moonlight coming through the kitchen window.

A red box lay there quietly.

She slowly opened it, and even without the lights on, the pair of imperial green bracelets lay quietly inside, their green so dark it seemed almost black in the dead of night, exuding an imposing aura.

"Come here, Grandma has something good to show our little Tao."

"These bracelets are priceless treasures that money can't buy; only Xiao Tao and I know about them."

"Now Grandma is giving her to you."

"After Grandma passes away, only Xiaotao will know about these bracelets. They are Xiaotao's own treasures, and even when she gets married, she will have more confidence."

Bai Tao knew the value of the gold, but thought the bracelets were too old-fashioned and that she would never use them, so she accepted them casually.

Now I understand its weight.

She sat on the floor, hugging her knees, staring blankly at the moon outside the window. She sighed softly, and Lin Meng's words echoed in her ears again.

"The more you despise the Bai family, the clearer you are about how despicable and hypocritical you are."

You are the one who has enjoyed the benefits of the Bai family for twenty-three years.

You are more like a member of the Bai family than Bai Zhenzhen is; you know better than anyone how much effort and money the Bai family has spent raising you.

Grandma didn't know that she wasn't the real daughter of the Bai family.

Now, she's going to sell this pair of bracelets that only she knows about.

She despised Lin Meng and Bai Zhongjing's selfishness the most, saying, "I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me."

But now, she has to do the same.

Pei Jin was sleeping soundly, curled up in a ball, his brows furrowed, in a position that showed he felt very insecure.

Bai Tao squatted by the bed and watched him for a while, then reached out and gently stroked his brow.

He shouldn't be like this.

Pei Jin, it's okay.

I will do my best to help you resolve your pain.

She quietly picked up Pei Jin's phone, turned off the alarm, drew the curtains tightly, changed her clothes, and went out.

Unable to enter Pei Jin's company, she sat at the reception desk at seven o'clock and waited.

At eight o'clock, Chu Teng led a group of bank and audit personnel in to conduct an asset inventory.

When Bai Tao saw him, she stood up and called out.

"Mr. Chu."

Chu Teng turned around and saw that it was Pei Jin's girlfriend. He frowned impatiently.

It's all Pei Jin's fault; he dragged it out for five days.

He admitted that he had let the company down, but he couldn't let his parents down.

Their research was indeed nearing completion, but he couldn't afford to invest any more money.

Pei Jin kept telling him to wait, not to sell the company, and to talk to him about ideals and life. It wasn't that he looked down on him; ordinary people couldn't afford to acquire a company.

Bai Tao wore a black fishtail dress with a brown mink vest over it, bright red lipstick, her hands in her pockets, standing straight, and red-soled black high heels, trying her best to look confident.

Chu Teng nodded politely, then turned and led his men inside.

"Mr. Chu."

White Peach called out again.

Chu Teng stopped, waved to the people behind him to let them go in first, then turned to her.

"What's wrong?"

If you're here to persuade me not to sell the company, then don't waste your time.

I've given your boyfriend time. There's no way he could come up with 200 million. The subsequent investment will conservatively require another 100 million.

"Waiting any longer won't change anything."

Bai Tao pulled a card out of her pocket.

Five million.

Chu Teng couldn't help but laugh. Her action of taking out her card was so swift that he thought she was really going to pull out three hundred million to scare him to death.

His tone carried a hint of amusement and disdain.

"Five million? Are you kidding me? I'm not your boyfriend, I'm not playing house with you."

Five million wouldn't even buy a single machine.

"Five million for two days of your time."

Bai Tao's voice did not rise.

"I'll pay for whatever price you get for the company three days from now, on Pei Jin's behalf."

Bai Tao wasn't sure either; she had no idea if she could sell it for that much money.

But she knew that the sunflower auction was another way to flaunt one's wealth, and many items were overpriced.

Chu Teng's expression changed, becoming serious. He hesitated because of her certainty.

Seeing that he was somewhat persuaded, Bai Tao continued,

"Even if I can't come up with the money in the end, five million is more than enough to buy you two days of my time."

The people you just brought in to take inventory of the assets can continue.

Perhaps it was because of her calm and composed demeanor, or perhaps he truly, like Pei Jin, once aspired to achieve great things.

Chu Teng remained silent for a moment, then accepted the card.

"make a deal."

Chu Teng stood there, watching her departing figure, his fingers unconsciously tightening around the bank card.

So imposing...

Before Bai Tao turned and walked away, she left only one sentence.

"Don't tell Pei Jin, and don't put pressure on him."
