Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Demanding To Take The Dowry Back

"So, do you get some severance pay?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Yes, I get three months salary." Bai Chao said.

Bai Xifeng nodded. If that was the case, then, it was fine. At least, his boss had the conscience to pay Bai Chao the severance pay.

"Well, in this case, let’s go." Bai Xiang said.

"Where are we going?" Bai Chao asked.

"To collect the debt." Bai Xifeng said happily.

"Huh?" Bai Chao would not understand.

"You will know soon." Bai Xiang patted Bai Chao’s shoulder.

They were about to enter the carriage. Then, they heard a shout.

"Father, Xixi, where are you going without me?" Bai Tingfeng was running toward them.

He finally arrived at the carriage.

"Where are you going?" Bai Tingfeng asked.

"We are going to collect the debt." Bai Xifeng said that again.

Bai Tingfeng understood that.

"Then, why don’t you ask me too? I also want to go." Bai Tingfeng said.

"Big Brother also likes to watch the drama. I don’t know about that." Bai Xifeng said.

"What are you talking about? I am going to be our guardian." Bai Tingfeng said.

"Humph! There is no need for you to do that. I am enough." Bai Xiang glanced at his son.

"Anyway, I am going too." Bai Tingfeng did not back off.

"Just get in." Bai Xiang rolled his eyes.

"Drive to the old Bai Residence." Bai Xiang stated.

Bai Chao finally understood the statement.

They arrived at the old Bai Residence. Bai Chao knocked on the door. The guard asked who they were.

Bai Xiang answered the question. The guard immediately opened the gate for them. The guard invited them to enter. It seemed the guards were afraid of them.

The housekeeper came over and welcomed Bai Xiang and others. He was surprised when he saw Bai Chao. Of course, he knew Bai Chao.

It was because of Bai Chao getting fired that he got his current position. He did not expect Bai Chao to be here too.

The housekeeper led them to the hall. He told them that he would go and inform the owner about their arrival.

The housekeeper went to inform Old Madam Bai first. Old Madam Bai was currently relaxing and was shocked when she received the news.

"Are they coming for the dowry?" Old Madam Bai asked.

"Well, I don’t ask their intention. After leading them to the main hall, I rushed here to inform you about them." The housekeeper stated.

"They must be coming for the dowry." Old Madam Bai said.

Well, she was not wrong. Bai Xiang was indeed here because of the dowry.

"Old Madam, let’s go and meet them first." Old Maid Dong said.

"You go and inform others about this." Old Madam Bai said.

"Yes, Old Madam." The housekeeper nodded and left.

Not long after that, all of them received the news about Bai Xiang and his family. They rushed to the main hall.

Bai Xiang calmly drank the tea.

"Tsk... why are they not here yet?" Bai Xifeng complained.

"If we are in the military camp, they would be punished." Bai Tingfeng said.

Right after Bai Tingfeng’s words, the family arrived. Old Madam Bai stepped into the hall with the help of Old Madam Dong.

She acted like a weak old lady to get some sympathy from Bai Xiang. However, Bai Xiang just ignored that. Others began to enter the hall as well.

"Since you are here, then let’s talk about the dowry. Have you gathered all of my wife’s dowry?" Bai Xiang went straight to the point.

"Do you need to do this, Big Brother?" Bai Guowei said.

"Please, don’t call me big brother." Bai Xiang glanced at Bai Guowei.

Bai Guowei frowned. In the dowry, there were a few stores that generated income for Bai Family. If they lost them, the Bai Family might suffer.

"Bring me the dowry. I will check it." Bai Xiang said.

Old Madam Bai sighed. This Bai Xiang was really a copy of her husband. If he already made the decision, no one could change that decision. She called people to bring the dowry inside.

Bai Xiang took out the long list. He was ready to check the list. Nothing should be missing.

"Ah Chao, let’s begin." Bai Xiang said to Bai Chao.

"Yes, Master." Bai Chao nodded.

Old Madam Bai and Bai Guowei just noticed Bai Chao. Of course, they knew this man. It was their previous housekeeper.

They fired him because of his loyalty toward Bai Xiang. They did not expect that he would work for Bai Xiang after more than 10 years.

Bai Chao began to check the dowry. Bai Xiang ticked the thing that Bai Chao said. The whole process took almost 2 hours. However, there were a few amount went missing. It was the herbs.

Bai Xifeng took a look at the list. She was surprised. There was a herb that she really wanted for her treatment. She did not expect that her mother had in her dowry.

"Where is the Spector Flower?" Bai Xifeng asked.

Old Madam Bai looked away. She took that away because she heard it was a good thing for older women.

"We don’t have it." Old Maid Dong answered on Old Madam Bai’s behalf.

"Owh... I see. Then, you should be compensated us." Bai Xifeng said.

"Why should we do that?" Han Yunru said.

She was already angry to see the good things that should be hers being taken away from her. Now, the party asked for more money making her anger explode.
