Chapter 606 Tuoba, This Surname Is Not Good
Tuoba Jiang cried for two days in the temporary residence before seeing her father. She was so thin she could barely sit up.
"A'lv, what exactly is going on with Miss?"
Tuoba Hai Cheng hugged his daughter, gently comforting her. He had only received a call saying something had happened, but he still didn't know what.
A'lv tried to explain the situation in detail. Seeing the老爷's increasingly dark face, her voice grew quieter.
"Bastard, are you sure? Are you sure it wasn't the Second Young Master Bai?"
"Confirmed. Our people also investigated and confirmed that Second Young Master Bai was indeed in Mingcheng during the Dragon Boat Festival and stayed home for three days before leaving. So, that person..."
"Waa~~ Dad, what about the child in my belly?"
"The illegitimate child must be aborted. I can allow you to have a child out of wedlock, but only if you know who the father is. An unknown bastard is not worthy of being born."
"Wuwuwu, wuwuwu."
Tuoba Hai Cheng was decisive and didn't waste any time. He took his daughter to the hospital. Watching the person being pushed into the operating room filled him with both pain and anger.
He slapped A'lv, who was standing beside him.
"What did I tell you before you left? Watch Miss, watch Miss, and this is how you watched her. How could you let her get into someone else's bed with your own eyes!"
"老爷, it was my dereliction of duty. But Miss liked that person very much and ordered me to get lost. I really couldn't stop her."
"You scoundrel, this matter is not over!"
Bai Chenxi, enjoying a rare moment of peace, sat with his sister in a pavilion, listening to music and playing chess. Although both were terrible at chess, they enjoyed it immensely.
"Second Young Master, Tuoba Jiang's father has arrived."
Ah Sen's words instantly soured Bai Chenxi's mood. He threw the chess pieces back into the box and lay down on the couch.
"Is it over yet? His daughter slept with the wrong person, why is he looking for me!"
"He said you have a responsibility and an obligation to help him find the imposter, as the incident happened at Bai Tai Hotel."
"Bah, do I have to watch everyone in the hotel? Can I stop them from acting impulsively!"
Ye Shenggo coughed softly, her speech too crude.
"Cough, cough, tell him to wait outside somewhere. My sister's place cannot accommodate foreigners, especially those from the underworld."
"Yes."
Ye Shenggo took a sip of tea and looked at the person still lying down.
"Third Brother, take some people from the courtyard with you later. We're not familiar with foreigners, so let's not actually get into a fight."
"Mm, whoever dares to fight me in Mingcheng will not leave."
"Be careful. Also, try not to make too much noise, otherwise, within half an hour, a bunch of reporters will surround our house."
"Don't worry, I'll leave now."
Xi Rusheng voluntarily took over the Second Young Master's seat. Gu Miao also came over to study together. The two of them were usually more at ease when no one else was around.
"Madam, how about you visit the herb garden recently?"
"Sure, I haven't seen it in a while."
"I've studied some of the medicines you made. If they can be further improved, their effects can be doubled."
Ye Shenggo felt a headache thinking about the strange medicines she made. They couldn't be used openly, so why improve them? Moreover, with the current peace and prosperity, there were very few opportunities to use them.
"Why bother researching useless things? If you have time, why not go to the pharmaceutical research lab? We haven't launched any new drugs in a while. Other pharmaceutical companies are breathing down our necks every day."
"I'm still a novice in pharmacology, especially with the integrated Chinese and Western medicines you're now incorporating, I'm completely lost and need a lot of time to learn."
"Learn, then. After all, exposing yourself to more new things can help pass the time."
Gu Miao nodded. He was also reading and studying in his spare time now. He didn't have the opportunity to learn before, but now he had plenty of time. The more he learned, the more topics he could discuss with people.
"I've discussed it with Elder Fan, and we've agreed to formally start the apprenticeship on the eighth day of the tenth month. What are your thoughts?"
"Finally, it's settled. The apprenticeship was dragged on for so long."
Xi Rusheng lived more freely now, with more emotions and words. He smiled affectionately at his junior sister's complaint.
"I'm also a bit unconventional, even surpassing you to become the senior disciple."
"I don't mind if you call me Senior Sister."
"Let's forget it. I'm so much older than you. Calling you Senior Sister would make me seem less capable."
Ye Shenggo paused her hand holding the chess piece. Was it what she understood?
"Are you saying I'm less capable?"
"Compared to me, you're far worse, and you haven't made much progress even after following Elder Fan for more than ten years."
Ye Shenggo smiled and put down the chess piece in her hand. She knew the person in front of her was straightforward, but he couldn't be so blunt, could he?
"Mr. Xi, do you want to compete with me?"
Gu Miao nudged Xi Rusheng secretly. He looked up and met Ye Shenggo's smile, which was different from her usual demeanor.
"Compete in what?"
"I need to show my future senior disciple what I've learned over the past decade."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xi Rusheng was attacked by a cloud of powder. Gu Miao, well-trained, immediately dodged far away. Ah Sen and the others had told him more than once that Madam was the best at poisoning people. He always had to dodge when he saw her raise her hand in anger, and he had to dodge far away.
"Cough cough cough, what did you sprinkle?"
"Mr. Xi, you have excellent medical skills, so you can study this carefully and see if you can break the saying 'a doctor cannot cure themselves'."
Ye Shenggo clapped her hands and left triumphantly. How dare he underestimate her? She was clearly very good at medicine and poison.
Gu Miao followed Madam out, and with every few steps, he glanced back at the person lying on the ground, scratching all over. Tsk tsk tsk, so Madam also had a temper.
Bai Chenxi arrived at the largest teahouse in Mingcheng, with A'rong following closely behind.
"Second Young Master Bai, a rare visitor."
The teahouse owner personally came out to greet him. This person was the most famous existence in Mingcheng.
"Has the person in the private room on the third floor arrived?"
"Yes, and they brought several people. Second Young Master, would you like me to send some people to guard the door of the private room?"
"No need, I only need one person."
Bai Chenxi looked up at the window on the third floor and saw an old man looking at him. The old man tapped his forehead with two fingers as a greeting.
"Hmph, as expected, he's just a philanderer who only knows how to use his looks to seduce girls."
"According to the investigation, the Second Young Master of the Bai family is the most capable businessman in the Bai family. One-fifth of the Bai family's business is currently operated by him."
"A man with a good head but who can't control his lower body will eventually die at the hands of women."
Tuoba Hai Cheng was very stubborn. His daughter still couldn't forget this brat. If she could marry him, that would be good too.
As Bai Chenxi approached the door, it opened. He swaggered in without even saying hello. He really didn't put outsiders in his eyes. If it weren't for fearing making headlines, he wouldn't have come.
"Cough, cough, I am Tuoba Jiang's father."
"Greetings, old man. I really have a fated connection with the surname Tuoba. Tuoba, this surname is not good."
