Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Ask Her Father’s To Go Out

"She never went missing. She left the house and came to find us at the military camp." Bai Tingfeng said.

"What? She went there?" Bai Chao was shocked.

Because she had been tortured by those people in the Bai Family, the fragile girl chose to run away and began the journey to the border. It was very hard for such a girl.

"Yes." Bai Xiang nodded.

"Is she okay?" Bai Chao asked.

"Of course, my younger sister is not that fragile." Bai Tingfeng said.

Then, a beautiful girl came into the hall.

"Father, Brother." Bai Xifeng walked in.

She heard that someone had come to visit Bai Xiang. She also heard that it seemed the guest was quite close to him.

"Lady Sujin!" Bai Chao stood up as he saw the girl.

"Huh?" Bai Xifeng was startled.

"Ah Chao, that is my daughter, Bai Xifeng." Bai Xiang stated.

"She looks like her mother." Bai Chao said.

He heard the rumor about Bai Xifeng before. Not only she was trash, good for nothing that could not cultivate but she was also ugly. Turned out, that rumor was just a rumor. The young girl in front of him right now was a real beauty.

"Hmm... That’s right." Bai Xiang nodded. He smiled proudly.

"Father, who is this?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"You probably don’t remember him but he was the housekeeper for Bai Family 12 years ago. His name is Bai Chao." Bai Xiang explained.

Bai Xifeng obviously did not remember Bai Chao at all. It was probably because she was too young to remember back then.

"Hello, Uncle Chao." Bai Xifeng greeted Bai Chao.

"Nice to meet you, Young Lady Xifeng." Bai Chao smiled, replying to Bai Xifeng’s greeting.

"Where is Elder Su?" Bai Xiang asked.

"Oh, he is reading right now. He tells me that he does not need dinner tonight. So, no need to prepare anything for him." Bai Xifeng said.

"Is that okay not to do that? What if he is hungry later? Should we prepare something?" Bai Xiang thought it was not proper to treat the guest like that.

"Well, I already told him, if he wants something to eat, he could call Xiao Li for that." Bai Xifeng said.

"If you say so." Bai Xiang said.

Bai Xifeng grinned while looking at Bai Xiang. Bai Xiang’s eyebrow lifted up. Seeing his daughter like this, she probably wanted to ask for something.

"What do you want?" Bai Xiang asked.

Bai Xifeng’s grin widened. "Father, you really know me. I want to go out tonight."

"Huh? Where do you want to go? Why at night? Can you go when the day is still bright?" Bai Xiang asked.

He was worried about his daughter’s safety.

"I want to go and buy something at Shanghai Pavillion." Bai Xifeng had a meaningful smile on her face.

Bai Tingfeng looked over at his younger sister. He understood something. He whispered something to his father.

Bai Xiang was stunned for a moment. After that, he nodded.

"Is it okay for you to go alone? Do you need someone to accompany you?" Bai Xiang asked.

"No need for that, Father. I can handle it myself." Bai Xifeng grinned.

"If you said so. Just be careful." Bai Xiang said.

"Thank you, Father." Bai Xifeng left after telling her father about her plan.

"Ah Chao, about the job that I offer you just now, do you want to accept that?" Bai Xiang still remembered about Bai Chao.

"If Master still wants to use my service, I gladly accept the job." Bai Chao said.

"Oh, how about your family?" Bai Xiang asked.

He remembered that Bai Chao had a family. A wife and a son. The son was the same age as Bai Tingfeng if he remembered correctly.

Bai Chao was stunned for a moment.

"My wife had passed away several years ago. As my son, he went to be a mercenary. I never heard about him after that." Bai Chao sighed.

"I see... About your wife, I am sorry to hear that. As for your son, don’t worry too much. He probably makes a living by himself." Bai Xiang comforted Bai Chao.

Bai Chao nodded.

"Then, when will you start to work?" Bai Xiang asked.

"I need to talk to the place where I work right now. If I settle everything, I will come to see you." Bai Chao stated.

"Alright." Bai Xiang nodded.

....

Old Madam Bai frowned when she saw the list of the dowry that Ji Suyin had before. Bai Xiang wanted everything that in the list. Otherwise, she did not know what would happen to her Bai Family.

"Old Madam, this Bai Xiang is an unfillial son. Even though you did not give birth to him, you were the one who took care of him." Old Maid Dong said.

Old Madam Bai sighed. Her heart was bleeding. She needed to hand out everything. It was like her heart had been stolen.

Ji Suyin’s dowry consisted of 3 shops, a restaurant, and a house, it was a house where Bai Xiang currently lived.

Ji Suyin also had a lot of pieces of jewellery sets including the jade set. Some of them had been taken by Old Madam Bai and Han Yunru. Han Yunru even thought of making the jewelry a dowry for her daughters.

The list was going on. Ji Suyin was a rich person at the time. She brought a lot of dowries to the Bai Family.
