He's spoiled rotten; that wolf cub knows how to flirt and be affectionate.

Chapter 228 My Aunt is in the Family 23

That night, lying in bed, Qu Yi suddenly remembered a question.

How did Bai Yan die?

3333 yawned: [You don't remember? Then I don't know how he died. Maybe he choked on his food, choked on his water, or was stabbed to death by an enemy—anything is possible.]

【……】

In any case, you must ensure your own and Bai Yan's safety.

The original owner did not die at Bai Yan's hands, but was still somewhat related to Bai Yan.

Bai Yan pretended to care a lot about her, his "aunt," but his enemies wanted to use her to threaten him. However, Bai Yan didn't save her at all, and in the end, she was killed.

And how did Bai Yan die...?

There's absolutely no memory of it.

Thinking back to the car accident Bai Yan was in, it might be related.

Inside the stylish building, Assistant Jiang took the documents from Bai Yan and prepared to leave, but suddenly remembered something and stopped.

"Mr. Bai, someone has been investigating your car accident these past few days."

Bai Yan raised his eyes: "Who?"

"It hasn't been found yet."

"It's just a few people. Let them investigate."

"Yes."

After finishing her work, Qu Yi returned to Ruijing Garden to rest. Before she even entered her bedroom, Sister Qin called her over.

"It's almost dinner time. How about we call Mr. Bai and ask if he wants to come back for dinner?"

Qu Yi also happened to have something to say to Bai Yan, so she nodded in agreement.

As soon as it was time to leave work, Bai Yan walked out of the office door. Assistant Jiang stared wide-eyed, unable to believe as he left in front of him and entered the elevator.

"Mr. Bai, here is your card."

Slender, beautiful, fair fingers with a delicate pink tinge at the tips held a card and presented it to Bai Yan.

“The money inside has been replenished,” she said.

"You don't owe me anything anymore?" Bai Yan asked, holding the card, his tone relatively calm.

"I don't owe you anything now."

Bai Yan didn't immediately grasp the implied meaning of those words. At this moment, he was filled with anger with nowhere to vent it. His handsome thin lips were tightly pursed, and his breathing was heavy.

"And then this..."

She picked up a blue box from the side and handed it to him.

The box was exquisitely packaged, with simple and elegant patterns printed on the outside and a gold-stamped logo in the upper left corner. Bai Yan recognized the brand; the Bai family had invested in it.

"What do you mean?"

"For you."

Bai Yan took it, opened it, and saw that it was an orange-yellow vintage silk tie.

He never uses such bright colors.

"It doesn't seem to suit me."

"I think it's alright, that's the only reason I chose it."

Bai Yan's expression relaxed slightly as he took the item: "Bought it with your own salary?"

He nodded knowingly.

Bai Yan's expression didn't change much, but his breathing was clearly warming up: "This brand isn't cheap."

He paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you still short of money?"

"Kind of."

I had some money left, but a few days ago I gave 80% to a private investigator to investigate Bai Yan's car accident, and now I'm practically penniless.

A few days later, before Qu Yi left, Assistant Jiang specially delivered a card to her.

"This is from Mr. Bai. I wish you a happy life."

Once in the car, Sister Hong stared at the bank card in her hand and asked, "What are you doing with that card?"

"Given by Mr. Bai."

After saying that, Qu Yi clearly saw Hong Jie's expression change, and then she looked like she was going to worship the card.

Although we don't know how much money is on this card, Mr. Bai must be quite generous.

As she came out of the restroom, she turned around and saw a strange man. She was certain that she had never seen him before, but the man's features did bear a slight resemblance to Bai Yan.

"My name is Wen Shao. I don't know if you've heard of me before, but I often hear Miss Qu's name."

Wen Shao had a gentle smile and a scholarly air that most men today lacked. He seemed approachable and easy to get along with.

"Did you need something from me?"

"No, I just heard that Miss Qu works here, so I came to run into her. I hope I didn't offend Miss Qu."

"If what I said is abrupt, could you disappear right away?"

"...Miss Qu seems to be somewhat hostile towards me?"

"Don't you know who I rely on for my livelihood?" Qu Yi glanced at him indifferently, then picked up her foot to leave.
