As soon as Xiang Li left the restaurant, she made a call.
Over at the Xiang Mansion
An hour ago, Bai Yun, who had been threatened by Xiang Yin to go home, immediately received Xiang Li's lion roar. "Where are you, kid?"
Bai Yun took the phone away in disdain and complained, "Mom, can you be gentler with your words? My eardrums are cracking because of you."
"When you get home tonight, I have something to ask you!" Xiang Li ordered.
"Is there anything you can't say over the phone?"
Bai Yun was a little puzzled. Ever since he had done it with Xiang Yin, the Bai family had rarely cared about him. Now, his mother actually ordered him to go home.
"Cut the crap. Come back now." Xiang Li hung up after saying that.
Bai Yun looked at the beeping phone with a blank expression.
From his mother's words, it did not seem like she was in a hurry. Instead, she seemed to be purely angry. He had not done anything out of line recently.
Bai Yun was confused for a long time. "Tell me, why is my mother so angry that she wants me to go home now? Her tone sounds like she wants to skin me alive."
Cui Lin joked, "Could it be that you got into some romantic debt outside and now they're here?"
Xiang Yin also looked at Bai Yun. He was so angry that Bai Yun jumped up from the sofa and shouted, "What romantic debt? I'm so busy every day. How can I have the time to look for a girl?"
Cui Lin teased again, "Could it be that you lost the bet and now your enemy is here to collect a debt?"
Bai Yun rolled his eyes.
"Hurry up and go back and ask," Xiang Yin said calmly.
"Second Uncle, accompany me back. For your sake, they might let me off," Bai Yun begged.
"Hmph, you only know that I'm your second uncle when something happens." Xiang Yin snorted.
As Xiang Yin spoke, he stood up, took the car keys from the table, and walked towards the door. Seeing that Bai Yun still did not move, he snorted unhappily. "Hurry up and follow me."
Bai Yun immediately ran over and said obsequiously, "I knew Second Uncle couldn't bear for me to be scolded."
Xiang Yin was actually curious. His eldest sister rarely lost her temper. He wanted to see what had happened.
More than ten minutes later, they arrived at the Bai Residence.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw Xiang Li sitting on the sofa, waiting for him angrily.
Xiang Yin called out, "Big Sister."
Bai Yun quickly called out, "Mom."
When Xiang Li saw that Xiang Yin had also appeared, she was a little surprised. She said angrily, "You know how to find help. Let me tell you, even your second uncle can't save you today."
Xiang Li brought them to the side hall and closed the door. Seeing how strict his mother was, Bai Yun felt even more uneasy. Did something really happen?
"Mom, what are you doing? Why are you still closing the door? Those who don't know might think that I've done something shameful," Bai Yun couldn't help but mutter.
"You still have the cheek to say that? If I relax a little, you'll go out and fool around." Xiang Li closed the door and scolded loudly.
"I'm fooling around? I'm not." Bai Yun thought about it a few times but could not think of any girl he had interacted with recently.
"Sister, don't scold him first. Tell me what the problem is. Otherwise, Bai Yun won't know what you're talking about. Wouldn't it be a waste of time?" Xiang Yin persuaded.
Xiang Li took a deep breath and calmed her voice, but she still asked Bai Yun in an unfriendly tone, "Are you interacting with a high school girl?"
Bai Yun frowned. "I didn't. Who said that?"
"Don't care who said it. Did you?" Xiang Li stared at Bai Yun and asked.
"No. Apart from our Bai Ling and a few other high school girls our family knows, there's no one else I know." Bai Yun thought for a while and really didn't.
"You don't know someone called Gu Man?" Xiang Li still stared at Bai Yun and asked in a low voice.
Hearing Gu Man's name, Xiang Yin and Bai Yun were stunned. They did know her.
"Ah, right, I know her," Bai Yun said casually, but he immediately reacted. "What? You suspect that I'm dating Gu Man?"
Bai Yun quickly looked at Xiang Yin. Sure enough, Xiang Yin's expression had already turned cold.
