"Ah!"
Bai Zhi's neck was instantly scratched open by Xiao Mi's claws. She shrieked once again as tears flowed. She angrily said. "Death-deserving little cat, I'm going to crush your bones and scatter your ashes!"
Disdain appeared in Xiao Mi's eyes as it dodged when Bai Zhi came pouncing over.
A mere small human could crush the bones and scatter the ashes of it, a descendant of the white tiger? Wait till it matured—just spitting saliva at her would be sufficient to drown her.
When Bai Xiaochen saw that Xiao Mi was caught up playing, a hint of cunningness flashed in his big, watery eyes. He could sense someone already standing before him and without caring who it was, he directly hugged the person's thigh.
"Sob sob, save Chen'er. That bad woman wants to strangle Chen'er to death."
The person before him had obviously stopped and his voice was cold and detached, yet it made the originally crazy Bai Zhi go even crazier.
"Bai Zhi, not only do you oppress the weak but you even bully the young! Do you think that this is the Bai family where everyone can only be bullied by you?"
Bai Zhi angrily gnashed her teeth. "Bai Xiao, are you blind? Which eye did you use to see me bullying this little bum of a child? It is obviously he and that cat who are bullying me!"
Bai Xiao…
This name made Bai Xiaochen who was hugging Bai Xiao's thigh stiffen. He slowly raised his head. It was also the first time he had directly looked at the young man whose thigh was being hugged by himself.
The young man was dressed in a white robe, dashing but cold and detached. His gaze was cold as he looked at Bai Zhi, who had a head full of messy hair. His aura was so cold that it made one feel as if one was experiencing the winter days.
Bai Xiaochen's tears flowed a pitter-patter. "Uncle…"
It was uncle! This man was Bai Xiaochen's uncle!
"Eh?" Bai Xiao frowned as he lowered his head to look at the young boy who was still clinging onto his thigh without letting go, his gaze full of question.
Bai Xiaochen regained his sense as he wiped away his tears. "You look too alike to Chen'er's uncle. I couldn't hold back momentarily, so…"
Seeing this pitiful little fella who was before him, Bai Xiao felt a tinge of heartache. If Elder Sister's child were still alive, perhaps the child would have been around the same age of this little fella.
However, Bai Zhi actually did not let off even such a young child!
The corner of his lips curled into a sneer. "I've seen how you wanted to bully this little fella from just now. If it were not for the little fella having an amazing cat by his side, he would have definitely be wounded by you. Forget the fact that you usually throw your weight around in the Bai family, now you're actually bullying a child."
After Bai Xiao finished speaking, he pulled Bai Xiaochen behind him to protect him.
"Today, as long as I, Bai Xiao, am here, don't even dream of touching a single strand of this child's hair!"
"Bai Xiao!" Bai Zhi arranged her own messy hair as she ruthless glared at Bai Xiao. "You're helping an outsider to bully me. I will definitely report the matter of the truth to Father. Just you wait and see. Hmph!"
She knew that if she stay behind here, there was nothing that would benefit her. After she spat out this malicious sentence, she left in a hurry.
However, after Bai Xiaochen's intentional smearing, Bai Zhi's so painstakingly-maintained image for many years had already been ruined…
***
When Bai Yan escaped from Di Cang's side, she immediately wanted to rush back to meet Bai Xiaochen. She had a premonition in her heart that this man was perhaps Chen'er's father!
Therefore, she needed to make sure that she hid Bai Xiaochen away before that man found out about him!
However, when Bai Yan was halfway through her journey, she saw Bai Xiaochen covered in dirt.
In particular, Bai Xiaochen was still tightly hugging Bai Xiao's thigh…
Bai Yan glanced at Bai Zhi who was leaving in a disheveled state and then looked at Bai Xiaochen once again. Her face darkened.
