Life Changing System

“I, your daughter, don’t want it.”

After the change of facial expression, Xu Xue Ning blurted this out quickly. Even so, it seemed like she was very polite with her mother. One could feel it from the way she even referred to herself in a different way, which was rare for her.

She had never referred to herself like this even when she was talking to Tang Zi Cheng, Tang Yien, or Qi Huang, even when the other person was someone from a higher rank or much older than her.

“This is your grandfather’s order. You need to come back to the main family now.”

The voice of a middle-aged woman could be heard through the landline phone. It was sophisticated, smooth, and gentle.

“Grandfather?” Xu Xue Ning frowned. If it was really an order from her grandfather, the current head of the Xu family, it would be hard to refuse.

She could anticipate that this conversation with her mother would be a long one as the request was not to her liking. She had to drive Bai Chen back and did not dare to make him wait.

However, she could not just hang up either, as it was about the path of her life.

“I’ll drive him back in your stead,” Xu Xin Tong said like she could read her big sister’s mind.

Xu Xue Ning immediately turned to Xu Xin Tong. Even though she thought that it was a good idea, she was still afraid that it would seem rude to Bai Chen. She then turned to look at his face.

“It’s fine. She can drop me off.”

Bai Chen said this when Xu Xue Ning turned to him. He did not know what she was talking to her mother about, but he knew full well that it was important.

Since he knew that it was important, he did not want to interrupt. Thus, he agreed with Xu Xin Tong’s offer to drive him back instead of her big sister.

“Thank you very much.” Xu Xue Ning quickly thanked Bai Chen. She lowered his head to him politely and gave her sister her car key.

Xu Xin Tong accepted the key with eyes that widened…her beautiful eyes widened because she was stunned to see her sister bowing her head to Bai Chen.

This was completely beyond what she regarded as common sense!

She quickly regained her senses. She thought that it was surely because Bai Chen was her big sister’s benefactor, and the thing that she had been saved from must have been big.

Otherwise, her big sister would not be easily bowing her head to him like this.

Xu Xue Ning said goodbye to Bai Chen before continuing her conversation with her mother on the phone, leaving only Bai Chen and Xu Xin Tong in front of the house. They looked at each other.

“Let’s go.” Xu Xin Tong spoke first. She spoke with an almost cold coolness.

Bai Chen, who had started to get used to her style of talking, simply nodded and followed her to Xu Xue Ning’s Mercedes-Benz.

While he was following Xu Xin Tong, Bai Chen could not help but look back to the front door. He thought about the cute little Xu Er Er as she had been joyfully saying goodbye to him before he left.

He thought of her as his own little sister. As he was an only child, he had never experienced the feeling of having siblings before he met her. That was why he missed her already, even though they had just parted.

Ten minutes later, Bai Chen and Xu Xin Tong left the premises in the Mercedes-Benz and went out to the main road that was almost empty.

He was sitting in the passenger seat, while she was in the driver’s seat. Her delicate hands held on to the steering wheel. She was dressed in simple attire, but it brought out her icy charms well.

For the past ten minutes, Xu Xin Tong had not said anything to Bai Chen. However, it did not make Bai Chen feel uncomfortable at all because they did not know each other, so it was not odd for them not to have any conversation topics.

It was true that Bai Chen had saved Xu Xin Tong’s life, but that was not the appearance that he was sporting right now anyway.

Eventually, Bai Chen thought of something to talk to her about. He started to tell her directions to get him to his destination. Bai Chen lightly rubbed his nose while thinking how silly it was for him to have forgotten something so important.

Now that it had been ten minutes, he did not understand why Xu Xin Tong did not ask him anything at all.

Bai Chen turned to look at Xu Xin Tong’s cold, pretty face and was about to say something.

Before he even said anything, out of the blue, Xu Xin Tong spoke up. “May I ask you something?”

Her voice was as cold as always but still sounded friendly enough. The tone she used to address Bai Chen was quite polite even though he was younger than her. It was probably because she saw him as her sister’s benefactor, otherwise, she would not be this polite.

“Sure.” Needless to say, Bai Chen nodded. He thought she was going to ask about the route he would have her take to drop him off.

But no, he was completely wrong.

“Do you have a relative aged around 30 years old?”

Xu Xin Tong’s question was clearly about the man who had saved her from an assassin. She had planned to ask him right after the meal, and this was a perfect time.

She was also going to ask about directions, too. She chose this question first because it was quite important to her. She really wanted to repay that man by treating him to a meal. She had already given him her phone number, but he had never called.

It had been two days since that incident. The reason why she did not say anything for the past ten minutes was that she was thinking about asking Bai Chen this question.

Xu Xin Tong had not said anything for ten minutes because she had been busy trying to word her question.

When she thought that it was all well-worded and appropriate, she had not hesitated to ask it.

Hearing Xu Xin Tong’s question, Bai Chen was stunned. He did not think that he would be wrong and had not expected this question either.

However, he thought he knew the reason why she asked about it. His face right now was not that different from when he was 30 years old. The only difference was age.

Even if Xu Xin Tong did not know that they were the same person like how Xu Xue Ning had known it immediately...

...it was still possible that she would make the connection that they were relatives. Her question was a good confirmation of this.
