Chapter 754 Not from the Same Mother
An Xia chuckled and reassured him, "What can he do to make things difficult for me? He just thinks I''m
not good enough for you and doesn''t want me to marry into the Bai family. He won''t do anything to
harm me."
Bai Jingshu''s voice was filled with anger. "Do you think I would praise you for being optimistic?"
An Xia secretly smiled andforted him, "Alright, let''s not hurry with this matter. It''s not as if your
family will suddenly start liking me. I actually called you for something else. About your second brother,
Bai Yeqi... he wouldn''t resort to violence against women, would he?"
Bai Jingshu''s voice suddenly turned serious. "What happened? Is there something wrong? I''lle
back right away."
After he finished speaking, there was a brief silence on the other end of the phone. An Xia could hear
him talking to someone, but his voice was low, and she couldn''t make out what he was saying.
Then, he spoke into the phone again. "I''ll be back soon. Are you okay?"
"I''m fine." An Xia didn''t understand why he was so nervous. Is he worried about me or Shu Yanian?
After hearing Shu Yanian''s words, she realized that Bai Jingshu and Shu Yanian had a past together.
Shu Yanian had even saved his life before.
...
Bai Jingshu returned quickly.
An Xia was in the middle of a game, leaning on the sofa when Bai Jingshu burst into the room.
He rushed to her, supporting her shoulders and carefully examining her. After ensuring that she was
fine, he let out a sigh of relief.
An Xia immediately said, "Don''t talk for now. Don''t disturb my game, or I might lose!"
Bai Jingshu yfully messed up her hair and grumbled, "Is the game more important than me?"
Busy ying the game on her phone, An Xia didn''t have time to pay attention to him, but she coaxed
him, "You''re important, the most important one."
Although Bai Jingshu knew that An Xia was just saying it to please him, he was still happy.
He patiently used his hands to tidy up her hair.
By the time he finished fixing her hair, she hadpleted her game.
He took her phone and put it aside. "Tell me, what''s going on with Yeqi? What did he say to you?"
"Shu Yanian said some unpleasant things, and he might be angry about it. I could tell it from his
expression." An Xia frowned slightly as she mentioned this.
Upon hearing this, Bai Jingshu felt relieved. As he leaned back, he stretched out his long arm and
pulled An Xia into his arms. After giving her a kiss, he said, "Did you call me back for such a trivial
matter? They are a married couple, so let them deal with their issues. What does it have to do with us?''
An Xia chuckled and reassured him, "What can he do to make things difficult for me? He just thinks I''m
not good enough for you and doesn''t want me to marry into the Bai family. He won''t do anything to
harm me."
An Xia absentmindedly toyed with the buttons on his cor and casually asked, "Do you want to know
what Shu Yanian said to make Bai Yeqi angry?''
Bai Jingshu''s body stiffened for a moment, then he adopted a nonchnt tone and replied, "What''s
there to know? You often make me angry for many reasons."
An Xia sensed the avoidance in Bai Jingshu''s tone and smiled gently at him. Then, she tilted her head
up and kissed him on the chin.
Bai Jingshu lowered his head to capture her lips, but An Xia stopped him with a finger on his lips.
Confused, Bai Jingshu looked at her. An Xia whispered, "Shu Yanian said, since you didn''t even marry
her, how could you possibly marry me?"
As soon as she said that, Bai Jingshu couldn''t hide his expression anymore.
"Xia, you—"
An Xia stood up from his embrace, straightened her clothes, and calmly said, "Bai Yeqi overheard her
saying that. You better go and see what''s going on between them."
Resuming her seat, she casually picked up her phone and continued ying the game.
Her words to Old Master Bai earlier hadn''t been mere chatter.
Being the only daughter in her family, An Xia was greatly pampered. Her father, once struggling before
he got married, worked diligently after her birth to ensure she never suffered.
The love and indulgence she received at home were unparalleled.
Although she had mentioned having a boyfriend to her parents, she hesitated to reveal too much about
Bai Jingshu.
Revealing Bai Jingshu''s name to her doting father would inevitably lead him to find out everything
about Bai Jingshu.
Inevitably, Bai Jingshu''s past would definitely be exposed.
Her parents might have concerns or look down on him.
She knew them very well.
As An Xia was engrossed in her game, she suddenly heard Bai Jingshu''s urgent voice from outside.
"Aunt Liu, call the doctor!"
As soon as An Xia heard this, she couldn''t continue ying the game. She quickly turned off her phone
and rushed outside.
Bai Jingshu walked toward her as she came out, and his tense face slightly rxed as he said, "Stay in
the room, and don''t worry about anything else."
An Xia nodded but still asked, "What happened? Who got injured?"
"It''s Bai Yeqi who got injured. I''ll go and check on him first. I''ll be back soon. Go inside quickly." Bai
Jingshu didn''t have time to exin anything to her and pushed her back into the room.
An Xia had no choice but to return to the room.
There was somemotion outside for a while, but it soon quieted down.
An Xia absantmindadly toyad with tha buttons on his cor and casually askad, "Do you want to know
what Shu Yanian said to maka Bai Yaqi angry?''
Bai Jingshu''s body stiffanad for a momant, than ha adoptad a nonchnt tona and rapliad, "What''s
thara to know? You oftan maka ma angry for many raasons."
An Xia sansad tha avoidanca in Bai Jingshu''s tona and smd gantly at him. Than, sha tiltad har haad
up and kissad him on tha chin.
Bai Jingshu lowarad his haad to captura har lips, but An Xia stoppad him with a fingar on his lips.
Confusad, Bai Jingshu lookad at har. An Xia whisparad, "Shu Yanian said, sinca you didn''t avan marry
har, how could you possibly marry ma?"
As soon as sha said that, Bai Jingshu couldn''t hida his axprassion anymora.
"Xia, you—"
An Xia stood up from his ambraca, straightanad har clothas, and calmly said, "Bai Yaqi ovarhaard har
saying that. You battar go and saa what''s going on batwaan tham."
Rasuming har saat, sha casually pickad up har phona and continuad ying tha gama.
Har words to Old Mastar Bai aarliar hadn''t baan mara chattar.
Baing tha only daughtar in har family, An Xia was graatly pamparad. Har fathar, onca struggling bafora
ha got marriad, workad diligantly aftar har birth to ansura sha navar suffarad.
Tha lova and indulganca sha racaivad at homa wara unparalad.
Although sha had mantionad having a boyfriand to har parants, sha hasitatad to ravaal too much about
Bai Jingshu.
Ravaaling Bai Jingshu''s nama to har doting fathar would inavitablyad him to find out avarything
about Bai Jingshu.
Inavitably, Bai Jingshu''s past would dafinitaly ba axposad.
Har parants might hava concarns or look down on him.
Sha knaw tham vary wall.
As An Xia was angrossad in har gama, sha suddanly haard Bai Jingshu''s urgant voica from outsida.
"Aunt Liu, call tha doctor!"
As soon as An Xia haard this, sha couldn''t continua ying tha gama. Sha quickly turnad off har phona
and rushad outsida.
Bai Jingshu walkad toward har as sha cama out, and his tansa faca slightly rxad as ha said, "Stay in
tha room, and don''t worry about anything alsa."
An Xia noddad but still askad, "What happanad? Who got injurad?"
"It''s Bai Yaqi who got injurad. I''ll go and chack on him first. I''ll ba back soon. Go insida quickly." Bai
Jingshu didn''t hava tima to axin anything to har and pushad har back into tha room.
An Xia had no choica but to raturn to tha room.
Thara was somamotion outsida for a wh, but it soon quiatad down.
Looking out of the window, An Xia saw two cars driving away.
Is the injury severe?
Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
It was different from what she had imagined. She thought Bai Yeqi would hit Shu Yanian, but it turned
out that Bai Yeqi was the one who got hurt.
...
Bai Jingshu had said he would be back soon, but when he finally returned, it was already evening.
The Bai Residence felt strangely empty, with only An Xia and Aunt Liu present.
Thetter had prepared dinner for An Xia and had been anxiously waiting at the door.
An Xia didn''t have much of an appetite for eating alone, so she had a light meal and then joined Aunt
Liu at the door. However, Bai Jingshu was still nowhere to be seen.
She tried tofort Aunt Liu, saying, "Aunt Liu, why don''t you sit for a while? It must be tiring to keep
pacing like this."
Aunt Liu let out a sigh. "Young Master Yeqi is seriously injured. They say he''s still unconscious.
Although he has an extreme personality, he''s not a bad person… I used to have some prejudice
against him too—"
Realizing she might have said something inappropriate, Aunt Liu stopped herself abruptly.
An Xia pondered for a moment and tentatively asked, "I feel like Jingshu seems closer to his eldest
brother."
Aunt Liu hesitated for a moment and sighed. "Of course, that''s true. Young Master Yunan and Young
Master Jingshu share the same mother. Young Master Yeqi has a different mother from them."
An Xia nodded thoughtfully. "I see."
Suddenly, the pieces started falling into ce. Bai Yunan and Bai Jingshu''s strong bond made sense
now, and she noticed that Bai Yeqi didn''t resemble Bai Yunan much in appearance.
With this information, many things became clear.
It seemed that among the three brothers in the Bai family, Bai Yunan was being groomed as the heir,
as he was the son of Bai Mingxu''s wife.
Bai Yunan and Bai Jingshu were true siblings, and Bai Yeqi was older than Bai Jingshu. This revtion
left An Xia wondering if Bai Mingxu had an extramarital affair in the past.
It was hard to believe that such a meticulous person would have such a secret.
As there was no female head of the household in the Bai family now, An Xia couldn''t help but find the
family''s history intriguing. However, she knew that Aunt Liu wouldn''t disclose any further details.
After all, it was considered a secret within the Bai family.
Lost in thought, An Xia was jolted back to reality by the sound of a car pulling up outside the door.
