Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

Chapter 233: It Would Probably Scare You To Death

Gu Xiqiao got out of the car, and turned towards Baili Bin. “Brother Baili, you go on ahead first.”

“What time are you leaving tomorrow morning?” Baili Bin asked as he nodded his head, getting ready to start the car again. He was going to drive off before he suddenly remembered to ask.

Gu Xiqiao checked her phone, and there was indeed a new message from Cheng Zhou. “Six o’clock, we can leave at five thirty.” Thinking about it, it was probably too early in the morning. Baili Bin had just recovered, and it felt like it was troubling him too much. Pursing her lips, she said, “Brother Baili, you don’t have to send me...”

Before she could finish her sentence, Bali Bin had already closed the door, heading towards the parking lot of the opposite building.

Gu Xiqiao watched his car go, feeling touched for a while.

Before she could put her phone away, another message popped out. [Don’t worry about Baili Bin, he’s doing what he should be doing.]

After looking at this message for a long time, she finally touched her nose before turning, intending to head upstairs.

At this time, a voice came from behind her, slightly surprised. “Miss?”

It sounded a little familiar, and Gu Xiqiao turned around, seeing that it was indeed a familiar face. She raised her eyes in surprise. “Aunt Shu?”

“I can’t believe you still remember me,” Madam Jiang said in a happy tone. She wore a royal blue jacket and a scarf of the same shade around her neck today. She looked young and beautiful, and you wouldn’t be able to tell her age at all. “I didn’t have time to ask your name at that time.”

“My surname is Gu. Aunty, you can just call me Qiao Qiao.” Gu Xiqiao gave up on her plan to head upstairs, and looked at Aunt Shu instead. “You seem to be having some trouble?”

“Qiao Qiao then.” Madam Jiang looked at Gu Xiqiao, and the more she looked at the girl, the more comfortable she felt. This child is well-behaved, sensible, and most importantly, beautiful. She was so much better than that stinky child back home. “I’m here to look for my son, but I can’t remember which building he lives in.”

Gu Xiqiao smiled at her. “It’s a small community, why don’t I accompany you to look around?”

“Thank you so much!” Madam Jiang nodded happily.

***

Baili Bin had parked the car, and when he came out, he saw the two walking around, looking for a unit. They looked peaceful, his face however... was slightly strange.

He immediately sent a message to Jiang Shuxuan—[I see Madam Jiang, she’s in the community, and she’s with Qiao Qiao.]

After sending the message, he didn’t bother waiting for Jiang Shuxuan’s reply, heading towards the two immediately. It wasn’t like he didn’t know about the happenings in the Jiang family, especially the rumors in the ancient martial arts world about Jiang Tong. This made Baili Bin fear a little as to the reason why Madam Jiang had come here.

But he thought that Madam Jiang probably didn’t know Gu Xiqiao’s identity, otherwise they wouldn’t be so peaceful.

“Grandma Wang, Uncle Qin.” Gu Xiqiao had bumped into many people along the way while she accompanied Madam Jiang. However, because Madam Jiang was with her, they didn’t stop for long, and just exchanged greetings.

This made Madam Jiang look at Gu Xiqiao in surprise, was she that popular in this community?

“Aunt Shu.” Before Madam Jiang could open her mouth to ask, there was a gentle voice from behind them. Turning around, she came face to face with Baili Bin.

“Baili? Why are you here?” Madam Jiang was even more surprised.

People in the ancient martial arts world generally lived in the ancient martial arts world, because the world was full of aura in the air, and there was the Trial Tower. It was the best place to live, being nearer to it.

Although Bailin Bin’s demeanor was rough, his entire body was radiating with a gentle warmth. He knew how smart Gu Xiqiao was, and if he had called ‘Madam Jiang’ instead, she would have noticed. So he had compromised, and called her ‘Aunt Shu’.

“I live here. Qiao Qiao, go home and eat first. I saw Mrs. Zhang is looking for you just now.” Baili Bin said with a light smile on his face.

Madam Jiang was surprised once again. “You know each other?”

Gu Xiqiao didn’t expect that Madam Jiang and Baili Bin would know each other, but she didn’t ask anything further about it. “Then, Aunt Shu, Brother Baili, I’ll head on home first.”

She waved to the both of them before turning around to leave.

Just as she walked two steps, she stopped suddenly. She turned to Madam Jiang, looking at her thoughtfully. “Aunt Shu, when you go home, please pay attention to your safety.”

She could only give her a reminder.

Madam Jiang nodded her head. “I will, thank you.” She just assumed that Gu Xiqiao was being polite.

Seeing her react that way, Gu Xiqiao didn’t say anything else, turning around again to leave.

“Baili, looks like your leg really has gotten better.” When the thin figure had finally left their sight, Madam Jiang turned around to look at Baili Bin, who stood in front of her, with a sigh. “By the way, how do you know Qiao Qiao?”

And the fact that he looked at the girl with such a gentle gaze, Madam Jiang was very curious. If she wasn’t wrong, wasn’t that Miss Gu just an ordinary person?’

Baili Bin flashed her a smile, but didn’t answer her. He had a good relationship with Jiang Shuxuan, which naturally meant that he was familiar with Madam Jiang. “Aunt Shu, why have you come here today?”

“I’ve come to look at Shuxuan’s residence.” The topic was changed immediately, and she turned around to look at the area. “You live here, so you should know where he lives too, right?”

“Aunt Shu, if Shuxuan didn’t want to let anyone know where he lived, do you think I would be able to know?” Baili Bin shook his head solemnly.

It wasn’t unreasonable to think that way, and deep inside, she knew her son’s character well enough to know it was true. She waved her hand dismissively. “Alright, then, I’ll go home first.”

“I’ll see you off.” Baili Bin said immediately.

The two walked towards the parking lot.

Just as they walked a few steps, they bumped into a familiar person again. Madam Jiang looked intently, and found that it was Murong Feiye. She was even more surprised than previously. “Feiye?!” Wasn’t he in the ancient martial arts world?! Why would he be here?

Murong Feiye was tinkering with his phone when he heard his name, and a familiar voice called it. He raised his head. “Aunt Jiang?”

“Yes. Feiye, what are you doing here?” Madam Jiang asked in astonishment. She had already been surprised to see Baili Bin, she didn’t expect to see Murong Feiye.

“I have a place here, and I occasionally stay a few days.” Murong Feiye smiled, and then turned to Baili Bin. “Yo, Baili. Have you seen Miss Gu? Wanqi’s looking for her.”

“No,” Baili Bin lied immediately in a hurry. “Hurry up and leave, I’m seeing aunt off!”

“It’s fine if it’s a no!” Murong Feiye glanced at Baili Bin, why was he being so fierce? As if he was scared of him!

Okay, fine. Baili Bin had improved leaps and bounds in his formations, and he was a little afraid of him. Thinking of that, Murong Feiye scratched his nose nervously. “Aunt, I’m leaving first.”

As he walked off, he sent a text to Wanqi Jue: I couldn’t find her, forgive me for being powerless!

Madam Jiang watched him walk away in a daze.

Another couple of steps, and a car came to a slow stop beside them. When the windows wound down, another familiar face popped out. The man stretched his head out of the car, an urgent look on his face. “Baili, lend me Miss Gu for a little while, please. I have something important to ask her... eh? Aunt Jiang?”

Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly realized that Madam Jiang was standing beside Baili Bin. Tang Qingqiu got out and bowed politely to her. “Aunt, why are you here?”

“... I came to look for Shuxuan. Qingqiu, you live here too?” Madam Jiang was already shocked to the point that she had to force her words out.

Tang Qingqiu nodded. Of course, the chance of seeing Xiao Yun while he lived here was high. Not to mention, the place was lively too. It was a great place to live at.

Madam Jiang nodded her head silently at the confirmation. Baili Bin, Murong Feiye, Tang Qingqiu, and Jiang Shuxuan, the most outstanding of the young generations in the ancient martial arts world were all living in this small community.

After exchanging a few words with Madam Jiang, Tang Qingqiu glanced at Baili Bin. “I really have something urgent to ask Miss Gu!” Since Qin Heng had told him who the founder of Nine Heavens was, he had received the shock of his life, and he couldn’t believe it in the beginning.

But his second reaction to it was, if it was her, then everything made sense.

The fact that Nine Heavens was able to obtain the rights to use the cell fusion research, and how did Gu Xiqiao manage to review the documents so quickly and accurately. Why Jiang Shuxuan had told him that he ‘couldn’t afford her’, to think that he really wasn’t joking at that time, Tang Qingqiu really couldn’t afford her at all! And the reason why Gu Xiqiao wasn’t tempted at all by the amount of funds that he had offered...

The more he thought about it, the more Tang Qingiqu wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in it. He actually dared to ask the founder of Nine Heavens to work for Tang Enterprise?! Honestly! People earned a million dollars per minute, maybe even more!

“Go on ahead and look for her, why did you come to me for?” Baili Bin looked at Tang Qinqiu. There was always some persistent a*sholes going after his sister, they had to go through him first, okay!

Tang Qinqiu: “...” If I could find her, why would I ask you in the first place?

Baili Bin turned and smiled at Madam Jiang. “Aunt, come let’s leave first. No need to bother about him.”

Madam Jiang followed Baili Bin a little mechanically. She thought that she wouldn’t be shocked anymore, no matter who else she saw after this.

Just as soon as she had the thought, she saw Zhu Yuan walking towards them.

At this moment, her mind was blank. She felt as though her person was floating in the air. All of these people together were basically half of the power in the ancient martial arts world, what was so charming about the community here, that it attracted all of them to gather here?

Madam Jiang started the car, and her mind automatically recalled that every one of them had the name ‘Miss Gu’ on their lips. This Miss Gu should be the same girl that had helped her the other day, right?

Thinking of that, Madam Jiang immediately sent a message to Jiang Shuxuan—[Son, that community of yours is a lot of fun. I’ve decided that I will move in with you!]

***

After sending Madam Jiang off, the smile on Baili Bin’s face vanished instantly.

Walking back a few steps, Zhu Yuan and Tang Qingqiu were both still standing at the same spot that he had left them. He stretched out a hand to Tang Qingqiu. “Where is the thing that I asked for?”

Tang Qingqiu handed him a sealed envelope, and said, “Can we negotiate? I think Miss Gu has blocked me, the calls aren’t getting through.”

Baili Bin took the envelope and turned around without saying anything. No negotiation.

Behind him, Zhu Yuan glanced at Tang Qingqiu silently, his eyes full of sympathy. “Bro, have you also been blacklisted?”

Tang Qingqiu nodded his head, feeling unsatisfied. “Let’s go to Baili’s place.”

That was Zhu Yuan’s intentions, and he nodded. Following Tang Qingiqu, they reached Baili Bin’s place in a few strides!

As for Baili Bin, he held the documents that Tang Qingqiu had handed him in hand, heading to the Fu residence.

***

In the Fu residence, Fu Wei and Fu Xuejun had yet to return. The two people that he disliked were absent, and Baili Bin felt his heart ease at the revelation.

“Ah Bin, why are you here?” Baili Wenxi opened the door and saw that Baili Bin was the one outside. She was stunned for a while before stepping back to let him in. It wasn’t weird for her to be surprised, it was the first time Baili Bin had taken the initiative to visit her after all.

Baili Bin walked to the living room, and found that Baili Wenxi was watching a movie. The title of the movie was ‘Empire Under Siege’, and he saw a pile of tissues on the table too. It looked like she had been crying while watching the movie.

He had also seen the movie before, because it was the first movie that Gu Xiqiao had acted in. He had even bought a ticket to watch it in the cinema.

Unexpectedly, Baili Wenxi was also watching it. Thinking of this, Baili Bin’s face softened a little.

Baili Wenxi poured a cup of tea for him. “Ah Bin, have you eaten?”

“No need to trouble yourself, Aunt.” Baili Bin shook his head, pursing his lips. Then he placed the envelope on the table towards her. “I came today because I think you have the right to know something.”

Baili Bin’s expression was grave, and Baili Wenxi clenched her hand unconsciously. She spoke somewhat nervously, “Ah Bin, what is this?”

“I also found out just a while ago,” Baili Bin replied, massaging his temples. “I actually didn’t intend to say anything about it, but your daughter’s behavior is too excessive. Uncle would also probably not tell you anything about this, and I can only make this trip here in person. No matter what has happened, you are still a member of the Baili family after all.”

As soon as the matter of Fu Xuejun’s threatening Gu Xiqiao was raised again, Baili Bin’s expression turned cold.

Baili Bin’s expression was too grave and solemn, and Baili Wenxi was able to realize just how serious this matter was, to the extent that Fu Wei was involved. She opened the envelope.

“Aunt, I think it’s better if you head to your room to look at it,” Baili Bin said, standing up “Also it’s better not to let Uncle know.”

Having said his piece, he took out his phone and headed out.

Just as he reached the elevator he bumped into Fu Wei and Fu Xuejun.

“Ah Bin.” Fu Wei didn’t expect to see Baili Bin here, and greeted him immediately. However, Fu Xuejun looked liked a person who had lost her soul, standing beside him with a downcast head.

Baili Bin greeted him with a stiff ‘Uncle’, and he brushed passed them into the elevator, ignoring Fu Xuejun as though he hadn’t seen her at all.

He had always been that way, and Fu Wei didn’t think him being unusual.

***

When Baili Bin reached home, he saw three people sitting in his living room. Zhu Yuan, Tang Qingqiu, and Murong Feiye.

Uncle Tai had served them tea, and they were now sipping on it.

“Zhu Yuan, why do you look like you’ve been f*cked over by life itself?” Murong Feiye eyed the said man with some curiosity in his eyes.

Zhu Yuan gave Murong Feiye the stink eye. “F*ck off!” He didn’t bother paying further attention to him.

Did Zhu Yuan always have such a bad temper? Man, he could even compare to Wanqi Jue! With that, Murong Feiye turned to talk to Tang Qingqiu instead, only to find that the other man was also ignoring him!

What was wrong with everyone tonight? Murong Feiye glanced at his phone, and found that even Wanqi Jue had not replied to his text. Yes, looks like even he was ignoring him!

“You all scared Madam Jiang tonight,” Baili Bin said lightly, pushing open the door. He didn’t look surprised to see them all.

So many people from the ancient martial arts world appeared in such a small community all at once, adding on that none of their status’ were of the lower kind, it was obvious that it gave Madam Jiang a big fright.

“Speaking of which, I’m suspecting,” Murong Feiye said, rolling his eyes. “Is it possible that Aunt Jiang came here to look for Miss Gu?”

“No,” Baili Bin replied, shaking his head. “She probably knows that such a person exists, but she doesn’t know who it is exactly. Don’t leak it out.”

“Of course.” Murong Feiye’s eyes flashed. “If Aunt Jiang finds out, it’s going to be so much fun, right?” He was just anticipating the show that would follow when it all came out.

When he thought of this, his eyes flashed with excitement again. “When is Miss Gu going into the ancient martial arts world to play? I see that that little demon girl is very arrogant recently, reaching the 62nd floor and all.”

“If she enters the ancient martial arts world, it will surely be turned upside down,” Tang Qingqiu suddenly said blankly. The secular world had already been turned upside down by her not long after she arrived in the Imperial Capital. The Chen family, Bai family, and the Fu family had all been broken by her plays.

Oh, not only the Imperial Capital, even the international level had been broken by her.

If she entered the ancient martial arts world... Was that even enough to entertain her?

Tang Qingqiu was already imagining the scene of Jiang Shuxuan cleaning up after her mess!

When he voiced his thought, the remaining three delved into deep thoughts.

Especially Baili Bin, because no one was more clear on how powerful Gu Xiqiao was among them. If she really did enter the ancient martial arts world, he was actually... Really looking forward to it.

***

The subject of their discussion, Gu Xiqiao, was helping Hua Youlin do his homework at this time.

Halfway through, she stood up suddenly with a solemn look on her face. “Little Huazi, I have something to do. I’ll be back later to teach you.”

Having said that, she disappeared on the spot.

Hua Youlin: “...” Sister Gu, my soul can’t withstand such devastation!

Mrs. Zhang, who was carrying two cups of milk came out and was confused when she saw only Hua Youlin in the room. “Where’s Qiao Qiao?”

Hua Youlin: “...” It would probably scare you to death if he told her what really happened!
