“Therefore…” Bai Xiao’s gaze slowly turned cold. “Maternal Grandfather and Uncle gave all of those pills to Mother out of worry for her! However, they had never thought that Mother would give Father all the pills!”

For the sake of purchasing those pills, the Lan family had not only used up all their wealth, but had even mortgaged countless family businesses! If their uncle was able to have a breakthrough in his cultivation with the aid of those pills, then the Lan family would not be facing such a loss!

In the end, the pills in which they had paid such a huge price to obtain had all became Bai Zhenxiang’s!

The Lan family had also regressed for many years because of this.

“How did Maternal Grandfather get sick?” Bai Yan frowned slightly and asked.

Talking about this, Bai Xiao’s face turned even colder as anger clouded his eyes.

“Isn’t it all because he was angered by Bai Zhenxiang?!”

This time, Bai Xiao did not used the word ‘father’ but instead directly addressed him by his name.

“After Mother pa.s.sed away, Maternal Grandfather’s body was getting weaker each day. Six years ago, you had also disappeared, which caused him to worry so much that it became a sickness. A few days back, our cousin and Bai Zhi had a little dispute and got into a fight. The two of them were both injured, but who would’ve known that Bai Zhenxiang would not bother figuring out the truth before rus.h.i.+ng over to the Lan family to settle the score with Maternal Grandfather, causing him to be so angry that he fainted over.”

Bai Yan remembered that the day before she left, Maternal Grandfather already looked as if his body was not in good condition. In addition to the blow caused by her disappearance, he definitely would have fallen sick without gaining a full recovery.

Otherwise, Bai Zhenxiang would also not have dared to cause a clamor so arrogantly at the Lan family and even anger Maternal Grandfather to the point of him falling sick.

“With the Lan family’s ability, it seems that purchasing pills should not be a problem. Why is it that Maternal Grandfather is sick but is unable to recover even after so long?” Bai Yan gently rubbed her chin, verbalizing the question in her heart.

Bai Xiao shook his head. “I’m not too clear about the actual situation as well. Why don’t we go over to the Lan family to see Maternal Grandfather?”

In these past six years, Bai Xiao had not been the way he had in the past, where he did not dare to even take a step into the Lan family residence. Instead, he frequented the Lan family residence to visit the Old Madam and Old Man. Now that Bai Yan had returned, he definitely needed to bring her over to visit the Lan family residence.

“Alright.”

Bai Yan nodded.

However, it was really coincidental that just as she was thinking about going over to the Lan family residence, the Old Madam of the Lan family received news that she had returned and had immediately sent people over to the Bai family residence.

At this moment, in the Bai family’s main hall, an old lady sat at a lowly position as she gently drank a mouthful of the cup of tea in her hands. She placed it down and said, “My family’s Old Madam is still the Maternal Grandmother of the Bai family’s eldest miss. A maternal grandmother is missing her own granddaughter to the point that she’s about to fall sick. Could it be that all of you still wish to hinder me?”

The old lady’s voice was extremely powerful and her gaze was sharp, which made Bai Zhenxiang frown slightly.

To be honest, he did not wish for his own son and daughter to be too close to the Lan family! Even Bai Xiao who frequented the Lan family residence was beaten by him!

“Yan’er has just return and her body is still sickly. I’m afraid that she is unable to go to your Lan…”

Bai Zhenxiang had not finished his words when he saw Bai Yan, who was walking over brilliantly closely followed by Bai Xiao. In that instant, his words were stifled in his mouth, stuck in the middle, unable to go up or down. His expression was also extremely ugly.

“You were sent by Maternal Grandmother to pick me up? Since that is the case, then let’s get go. Don’t let Maternal Grandmother get anxious waiting.”

Bai Yan acted as if she did not notice Bai Zhenxiang’s existence, directly walking to the old lady’s side instead as she spoke with her lips lifted.

The old lady was a little surprised. Back then, she had also come over to invite Bai Yan over a couple of times but was always rejected. This time, Bai Yan was actually willing to accept?

“Bai Yan!” Bai Zhenxiang shouted angrily. “Don’t forget that daughters who are married off are like water that is spilled. Since your mother has married me, then she’s my wife. As for you and Xiao’er, both of you are also only my Bai family’s bloodline! To you two, the Lan family are outsiders! Without my permission, you are all not allowed to return to the Lan family residence!”
