Bai Guofu’s gnarled fingers wiped away his tears and he said enthusiastically, “Ancestor, please take a seat.”

The old man Bai Guofu had given up his seat right in front of everyone to her. Then, he eagerly took out the top-grade tea leaves, which he would be reluctant to drink on a normal occasion, to personally brew a cup of tea for Bai Chuwei.

This behavior of his was unbecoming as the dignified master of the Bai Family. Instead, he resembled a… lackey?

The scene stunned everyone into silence. No one had expected such a development to occur.

Bai Yinyin raised her eyes to meet those of her parents and she wondered if her grandfather was suddenly suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.

Bai Chuwei’s beautiful eyes surveyed her surroundings and from the looks of it, the villa was spread across five hundred square meters approximately. It was three stories high and had a basement. In addition, it came with a garden and was decorated in authentic European style. Every single artifact in the house was of high quality.

Bai Yinyin noticed Bai Chuwei’s wandering gaze and coldly snorted as she muttered in ridicule. “As expected of a country bumpkin. I’m sure that you’ve not stayed in such a luxurious house before.”

Bai Chuwei received the tea that the old man had personally brewed. After taking a sip, she coincidentally spoke at the same time as Bai Yinyin, “Little Fu, it seems like the Bai Family is getting poorer under your management. I remember that the grand Bai Family of the past had occupied the entire west mountain, and was a big household with a lot of businesses. Right now, you’re staying in such a tiny house?”

T-tiny house?

Bai Yinyin was stunned for a moment. She flushed red in anger before leveling a glare at Bai Chuwei. She spoke in a discomfited voice, “Who are you to speak to my grandfather in this tone? Do you know how expensive villas are in this area? This villa itself is worth fifty million! You can’t even afford to buy our toilet even if you sold yourself!”

*Pa-pa!* Two loud slaps resounded through the hall.

Bai Yinyin covered her reddened cheeks and looked at her grandfather in disbelief. Her lips had started to tremble. “Grandfather… you hit me? You hit me for the sake of this outsider? You’ve never laid even a finger at me since I was born!”

Bai Guofu angrily reproached her. “Outsider? How is your ancestor an outsider? Yinyin, you better behave yourself and immediately apologize to her!”

At that moment, the only thought that surfaced in Bai Yinyin’s mind was to disfigure Bai Chuwei’s face. She cried and ran into her mother’s embrace while tears streamed down her face.
