Chapter 671: Chapter 680 I Will Throw Him Out

Ye Xiu was just about to speak when it seemed as though she remembered something and immediately stopped herself.

"You’re just a kid, what’s it to you? Anyway, we’re not leaving today."

Ye Xiu cast a glare at Bai Ye, previously thinking he was low-maintenance, and now realizing, he indeed is quite the opposite.

"This isn’t good," Bai Ye frowned, thinking about what sort of impression it would give to have Nan Jin staying here.

"What’s not good about it? This is my home too, and now that your Uncle Nan and I are family..."

Before Ye Xiu could finish her sentence, a melodious voice suddenly rang out from the entrance.

"Of course it’s not good."

Bai Zhi appeared at the doorway...

"Xingxing, why did you come too?"

Ye Xiu looked at Bai Zhi with some confusion. She used to long for her daughter’s presence, but today... it all seemed rather troublesome.

"We’re only staying for one night, is that not okay?"

Ye Xiu frowned, somewhat displeased.

"Mom, naturally you can stay, but Uncle Nan cannot stay here."

Bai Zhi’s gaze shifted towards Nan Jin, "Uncle Nan has a house in the village too. But if you insist on staying here, it makes me wonder. Could it be that Uncle Nan has taken a fancy to our small courtyard? Or perhaps..."

Bai Zhi’s smile deepened, yet her eyes remained unblinking as she appraised Nan Jin.

"Or perhaps, there’s something Uncle Nan wants to find here?"

Nan Jin’s complexion darkened instantly. He had previously thought Bai Zhi’s reputed stubbornness was just an excuse made up by Nan Xi.

But now, he realized that Bai Zhi was indeed quite difficult to handle.

"You’ve misunderstood, Bai Zhi. We just felt that since we are now family, it makes no difference where we stay. If I truly wanted to find something, I’ve been to this courtyard more than once over the past three years, haven’t I?"

Nan Jin’s smile was also present, but his words were equally ambiguous.

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi nodded in agreement, her eyes also focusing on the small courtyard, which really didn’t hold any secrets.

But maybe for certain people, it wasn’t so certain after all.

After all, Ye Xiu had almost let something slip out just moments ago.

"That’s right. So, does that mean you, Uncle Nan, possess a grand heart?

How can you not mind living in the house of your wife’s ex-husband?"

Bai Zhi’s words couldn’t be more piercing. Ye Xiu, upon hearing this, frowned and unhappily glared at Bai Zhi.

"Xingxing, how can you say that?"

Suddenly, Bai Zhi laughed, gazing blankly at Ye Xiu, her large eyes filled with confusion.

"Did I say something wrong? No, I didn’t."

Nan Jin clenched his teeth, forcing out a few words through them. "Yes, you’re not wrong. Your father and I were best friends, so I trust he wouldn’t mind."

Anyway, they definitely had to stay here tonight.

"Oh, so you’ve just conveniently forgotten how Bai Da went mad not long ago?

Even if he doesn’t mind, sorry, I do mind."

Bai Zhi simply took a stool and sat down, looking coldly at the two.

"This place belongs to the Bai Family’s residence. You’re my mom, naturally you can stay, but as for others, I’m sorry I don’t agree."

No matter what their intentions were, she wouldn’t agree.

"Besides, I don’t think this is about being broad-minded; this seems more like having ulterior motives."

Bai Zhi’s gaze surveyed the courtyard, clearly noting that not many people lived here.

After all, almost all the aunts were present, and there was Great Grandpa. Thus, Ye Xiu really had no chance to bring Nan Jin over.

It was only Bai Ye who often stayed here, while both Bai Yu and Nan Xi had become wealthy and naturally wouldn’t return.

Yet, they suddenly decided to get married, and to hold the wedding here, of all places.

Nobody knew the real reason behind this, but if it were her, she would never consider marrying someone else at her ex-husband’s home.

"Mom, my grandfather treated you like a daughter, yet this is how you slap him in the face, bringing someone to the Bai Family to have your wedding.

If you were penniless, that would be one thing, but you own a house in the village. You’re telling me you’re not foolish?

Wouldn’t anyone think there’s something wrong with you?"

Such obvious issues, yet they insisted on doing so.

Either she was overthinking, or they had a compelling reason.

A reason that made it absolutely necessary to proceed this way.

The Bai Family had been coveted for more than just a day or two, Ye Xiu had been in this place for so many years, she must know there were no secrets here, but why, why must they do this?

"Bai Zhi, isn’t that a bit too harsh?"

Nan Jin couldn’t hold back any longer, Bai Zhi’s words... were maddening.

"Is it? So, I’m this infuriating, yet Uncle Nan, you still tolerate it? You must have some ulterior motive then?"

Bai Zhi didn’t even look at Nan Jin but instead began examining her own nails.

She had wanted to grow her nails out, but later found it impractical, so they remained bare.

"You! You’re too insolent; after all, I am your uncle, and I am now your mother’s husband."

Nan Jin, who was not accustomed to such treatment, spoke with a darkened face.

It was then that Bai Zhi stood up and approached Nan Jin.

"You said it yourself, you and my mom are spouses; what does that have to do with me?

When I’m in a good mood, I might call you ’uncle’. When I’m not, you’re just a stranger, don’t think too highly of yourself."

Bai Zhi’s gaze shifted to the corner, where the soil seemed a bit loose.

Had it been dug up?

"Bai Zhi!"

Ye Xiu couldn’t bear to listen any longer, walked over, and raised her hand to strike Bai Zhi, only to have her wrist caught.

"You dare to resist? Xingxing, I am very disappointed in you. How can you be so disrespectful to an elder? Is this how I taught you?"

Ye Xiu looked at Bai Zhi with disappointment. She had thought that Xingxing simply didn’t understand people due to lack of guidance, but now, she was very disappointed.

"Did you teach me? Just because I call you ’mom’ doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want with me. This is the Bai Family’s courtyard. Since you’ve started anew, please leave."

Bai Zhi pointed towards the gate, her gaze cold as she looked at Ye Xiu, devoid of any warmth in her eyes.

"If you hadn’t harbored designs on the Bai Family, perhaps I wouldn’t have said anything, but now..."

In Ye Xiu’s eyes, there was something else.

It was less about being hypnotized by Bai Da back then, and more about her desire to escape from the beginning.

After all, between a future-less Nan Jin and a Bai Da who would pamper her in the palm of his hand, she knew which to choose.

She hid all her selfishness behind the façade of greatness.

"Bai Da, I’m sorry for you, getting a divorce from him. That’s your choice, but the Bai Family, Great Grandpa never wronged you once. We don’t ask you to take our side, just not to have ulterior motives, right?

The courtyard is only so big, you lived here so many years, don’t you know if you’ve found what you wanted here?

Yet you insist on doing something so repugnant, bringing another man here. What right do you have!"

Bai Zhi looked at Ye Xiu, speaking word by word.

"If he doesn’t leave today, I’ll throw him out myself, mark my words."
