"Ah Xiao, do not go."
Bai Shengtian grabbed Bai Xiao firmly with a stern tone, "Let's talk after we get back."
Bai Xiao hesitated and nodded slightly.
He straightened his body again.
As the car started moving, Bai Shengtian didn't mention Mu Shaochen's demand, but instead said to Bai Xiao, "You're leaving the country tonight, and without my permission, you must not return."
"Grandfather, why?"
Bai Xiao's face drastically changed as he looked at Bai Shengtian.
Bai Shengtian's face was grave. "The Bai Family might be finished, Ah Xiao. You're my proudest grandson, and I will rely on you to restore the Bai Family's glory in the future."
"Grandfather, would Mu Shaochen really destroy our Bai Family over a woman? Did you tell him about our second great uncle in the Imperial Capital...?"
"I did, to no avail."
Bai Shengtian suddenly seemed to have aged a few more years.
