Chapter 548: Chapter 577: Absolutely No Other Meaning (4th Update)
"The Chen family’s affair?" Lin Xi asked with some confusion, "Isn’t the Chen family too busy to care?"
Bai Bing had said this herself last night, so how come the Chen family could have the energy to interfere now? Could it be that Chen Bainan, despite enduring without his jewels, continues to target the Bai family?
Bai Bing shook her head and briefly explained what had happened to Lin Xi.
It turned out that the Chen family had been searching for a long time but found no clues about Chen Bainan being attacked, let alone finding the culprit.
Unable to do anything, they vented their anger on the Bai family.
Also, many in the Chen family believed that the Bai family must have hired someone to do this to Chen Bainan.
After all, Chen Bainan was the main person responsible for targeting the Bai family, and just when the Bai family was at its most critical point—on the verge of being swallowed by the Chen family—Chen Bainan encountered trouble.
So, the vast majority of the Chen family turned their hostility toward the Bai family.
"Is there any place where I can help?" Lin Xi asked Bai Bing. Although he didn’t have much money now, he could send Ding Yueqiu to capture a few key members of the Chen family and lock them up for a while.
It wouldn’t even matter if they were killed, after all, the Chen family members are nothing good.
And then, the crisis would naturally be resolved.
"No need!" Bai Bing had already sat down on the sofa, "Without their leader, Chen Bainan, the other members of the Chen family can’t grasp Chen Bainan’s plans at all!"
"Besides, many major shareholders have already defected to my side!"
"So, even if Chen Bainan is fine now, there’s nothing he can do!"
Seeing Bai Bing’s confident look, Lin Xi said nothing more.
"Gurgle gurgle gurgle..."
At this moment, Bai Bing’s stomach couldn’t help but rumble several times, and she felt a bit embarrassed as she realized she was starving, having forgotten to eat lunch amidst the day’s busyness.
Lin Xi chuckled, "Give me half an hour."
He then headed to the kitchen, and the next moment, Bai Bing heard the sound of vegetables being washed in the kitchen.
In less than half an hour, Lin Xi brought out one meat dish, one vegetable dish, and a tomato egg soup from the kitchen, placing them on the dining table.
Bai Bing didn’t stand on ceremony and immediately started eating with chopsticks.
But she noticed Lin Xi just watching from the side and not joining her for the meal, so she couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Aren’t you eating with me?"
Lin Xi shook his head, indicating he had already eaten.
Bai Bing then paid him no mind and continued eating heartily on her own.
However, her appetite was still limited as a single person, and given that Lin Xi had cooked quite a large portion, she was already very full after eating about half.
The two of them watched a soap opera in the living room for a while, after which Bai Bing prepared to go upstairs to get some early rest, as the work of recent days had been quite tiring.
Watching Bai Bing’s back as she went upstairs, Lin Xi couldn’t help but feel a bit restless, and suggested, "Why don’t I come up and give you a massage?"
"I guarantee that after my An Mo, you’ll feel light and energized!"
Hearing this, Bai Bing stopped in her tracks, turned around with a look of skepticism toward Lin Xi, and refused, "No need!"
"I absolutely have no other intentions, and I absolutely won’t do anything else!" Lin Xi promised.
But Bai Bing, at this moment, ignored him and continued up the stairs without looking back.
Her attitude was that she didn’t believe him at all!
With a long sigh, Lin Xi cleaned up the dining table and kitchen, then went to the small courtyard where he practiced a couple of rounds of Xuanyuan Fist before washing up and lying down on the bed.
Entering the Jade Pendant Space, his first act wasn’t to train but to check on the Dragon Egg.
After a day, there was hardly any Dragon Marrow left around the Dragon Egg, but the cracks on the eggshell showed no signs of expanding. However, Lin Xi seemed to be able to hear faint heartbeats from inside the eggshell at this point.
It seemed like it could hatch at any moment.
The next morning, he heated the leftovers from last night, turning them into breakfast.
After the two finished eating, one went to work while the other headed to school.
Upon arriving at school, Lin Xi noticed that the students seemed to be arriving earlier and more fully than on any previous day.
