641: Bai family's loss

Bai family's loss

"How long have you been standing there?" FangSu asked as she stood properly and brought her hand away from her chest.2

"Not long enough to hear your conversation with Sister Meixu." Jia Li replied.

FangSu gave her a scrutinizing glance as she asked, "Are you sure about that?"

"Why are you asking, don't you believe me?" Jia Li asked with a small smile.

"No, I believe you." FangSu finally said with a big smile on her face. The next second, a tiny childish voice was heard...

"Mummy! I asked you to wait for me." Jasmine said as she quickly walked over with Butler Lu holding his hand.

Jia Li glanced over and saw her little one with an annoyed expression on her small chubby face. Smiling, she stretched out her hand to her.

Jasmine immediately went over to take her hand, as she thanked butler Lu for bringing her over.

"Da Xia!" FangSu said with excitement as she walked towards the little girl.

"Jasmine, why don't you let Aunty Su take care of you, I will get a little rest and come back for you?" Jia Li asked the little girl.

"But I want to play..." Jasmine said as the frown on her face, spread.

"You want to play? I will play with you, come let's go." FangSu said as she took the little girl's hand.

Jasmine gazed at her before letting go of her mother and following her out. Jia Li sighed in relief once the little girl was out of sight. She has wanted to take a short nap when the little girl asked her to come to play with her. Luckily, FangSu was not busy to accompany her.

A few days later, a piece of bad news was heard from one of the previous big families in the country, and it was no other than, the Bai family.

Although the Bai family had relocated to another country, some people were still on the lookout for them. The Bai Family wasn't trending, but definitely, some people still checked out on the day to know how it's going for them.

Since a day before, there has been a rumor going on on the internet, about a family member dying. Presently, some people got more information ain't the demise of one of their family members and confirmed that it was the old lady that died.

The circumstances surrounding her death were not known yet, and the Bai family were yet to make any public announcement concerning it.

"Dad, have you seen the news?" YingPei asked as he walked into the sitting room.

Fu Lei looked up with furrowed brows. "What news?"

"Have you heard about the Bai Family?" YingPei asked as he came to sit on the couch next to the one he was sitting on, still with an unbelievable facial expression.

Fu Lei was beginning to get annoyed with YingPei, for beating around the bush. As someone who has been in the army for more than half of his life, he hated the method YingPei used to approach concerning a matter. He was very straightforward, and it has now become a part of him.

YingPei seemed to have noticed that his father was very annoyed instead of curious, and so he went ahead to quickly give the full gist to him.

"There are rumors going all over the internet about Old Madam Bai's death." 

"Since when?" Fu Lei asked with a slight frown.

"People have been talking about it since yesterday," YingPei confirmed.

After a few seconds, Fu Lei looked away from him and asked, "So, what do you want me to do about it? Do we have any business with the Bai family presently?"

YingPei was speechless. He thought his father would show a little concern because at least, the Bai family used to be a close friend to theirs, but it looks like he had met the wrong person to talk about them.

"I'm sorry..." YingPei said sheepily and got from the couch, intending to leave but was stopped for a little suggestion from his father.

"I don't care about the Bai family, but your grandfather may still be a little compassionate towards them, so you can go ahead and meet him."

YingPei smiled and left straight for Grandfather Fu's study, but he was told the old man was at the lawn.

'Even grandfather can seek for some air.' YingPei thought as he went outside to the lawn to find his old man.

Immediately he saw him sitting on the lawn under a huge umbrella with the dogs around, YingPei made his way there.

"What problem do you have today?" Grandfather Fu asked when they met face to face.

"Grandfather, do I look like someone who will only bring you troubles? I came here for something I'm, and it's not about me." YingPei said.

The old man was used to him always coming to ask for something, and it's always about himself, so he thought it was the same today.

At this moment, Butler Lu who had stepped out for a moment returned.

"Grandfather, have you heard about the rumors making rounds on the internet concerning the Bai family?" YingPei asked.

Grandfather Fu seemed very calm after he mentioned the Bai family, and unexpectedly, he didn't go on to ask what the rumors were all about.

From the side, Butler Lu replied on his behalf. "Young master YingPei, we have just confirmed of Old Mrs. Bai's passing, and have passed our condolences to the Bai family."

"Huh? already?" YingPei asked in surprise. Butler Lu nodded with a calm gaze as YingPei glanced back at his grandfather.

"Grandfather, I came to tell you about this, but it seems that you are way ahead of the rumors on the internet. Then, I will take my leave." YingPei said with a slight bow before turning around to leave.

After he left, Butler Lu came to stand in front of the old man. "The first son of the Fu family said he would give you a date did the burial of Old Mr. Bai, and he hopes you would out away the anger you have for them, and attend the burial ceremony."
