Chapter 333: A Coward Who Follows the Crowd
Chapter 333: A Coward Who Follows the Crowd
It was three days later that Bai Yishui saw Bai Song.
Bo Song was wearing a black suit, his hair was combed meticulously, and there was no smile on his face.
"I called you over here to discuss Xin Chuanling's matter with you." Bai Yishui said.
Bo Song looked at him and said indifferently, "Aren't they all dead? What's there to discuss?"
Bai Song's tone was stiff, and Bai Yishui knew that he was angry. After all, most of Xin Chuanling's team were his people.
"Alas! I know you blame me in your heart, but everything is for the Bai family. If you want to achieve great things, it is impossible without sacrifice. Even if people are gone, we can always train them again. From now on, you should take good care of the affairs in Yuncheng, and let Xun'er handle the affairs of Xinchuanling."
Bo Song looked at him, his lips curling up slightly, but the smile never reached his eyes. A gentle laugh escaped him, short and slightly dry, with a hint of self-mockery and relief.
"Grandfather has always been like this. He said it was a discussion, but in fact he was just informing me! Okay, I'd love to have you do more work if you can find me." Bo Song said and left.
When he reached the door of the old house, he saw Bai Xun standing by the car waiting.
"Let's talk!" Bai Xun said.
The two went to the villa together and brewed tea and wine in the pavilion in the garden.
Bai Song looked at the vibrant garden and said with a smile, "No wonder you want to live here. The scenery here is indeed much better than the old house."
"Well, these flowers and plants were planted by Nanchun when she was here." Bai Xun handed Bai Song a cup of hot tea.
"Is Nanchun okay?" Bai Song asked.
Bai Xun nodded: "He was injured, but his life is not in danger."
Bo Song was slightly startled.
No wonder Xundi went to Xinchuanling in person and acted so cruelly.
It seems that between Nanchun and the Bai family, he finally chose Nanchun.
Bai Song smiled and patted Bai Xun on the shoulder, saying, "I'll leave the mess of Xin Chuanling to you. Your brother is indeed not fit to be the head of the family."
"It's not that you are unsuitable, it's just that you know you can't become the head of the Bai family like your grandfather." Bai Xun looked at him seriously and said.
Bo Song smiled and said, "What about you? Can you become a family head like him?"
Bai Xun shook his head: "I can't become one."
"Then why do you still take on this burden?"
"I am not trying to become anyone as the head of the family, nor do I want to be anyone. I just want to change the Bai family according to my own ideas." Bai Xun said bluntly.
Bo Song's heart trembled.
This is where Xundi is different from him.
Xundi seems to be very strict and law-abiding, but in fact he is a very opinionated, self-reliant, resourceful, decisive and ambitious person.
While he seems to be independent, clever, experienced and fierce, he is actually a coward who is cautious, timid and follows the crowd.
Just like even though he disagrees with many of his grandfather's views and decisions, he will still follow his orders in the end.
Xundi, on the other hand, tried every possible means to seize power and then do things according to his own ideas.
Bo Song smiled bitterly: "Are you doing all this for Nanchun?"
Bai Xun said, "For Nanchun and the Bai family. Why do you keep going forward when you know it's wrong?"
"No wonder you like Nanchun. You... are sometimes as naive as he is. Although the path is wrong, the benefits it brings are the greatest. I don't agree with everything my grandfather said.
"But achieving great things requires sacrifice. "If someone dies, you can find them and train them again. "As long as you have money, you can find any kind of person," Bo Song said.
These words seemed to be comforting himself.
Bai Xun took a sip of tea and said, "Can we find someone like Bai Yufeng?"
Bo Song's smile froze on his face.
Bai Xun looked at him and continued, "Brother, some people and some things can never be found again once they are lost. Besides, it's not worth losing these precious things for the Bai family."
Bai Song lowered his eyes and after a long pause, he said, "I never thought you would be the one to betray the Bai family. Growing up, I always thought you were the one who supported Grandfather the most and valued the Bai family the most."
"Maybe it was once, but not now," said Bai Xun.
"Just for Nanchun? To be with a man... forever?" Bai Song looked at him, with disappointment and a hint of envy in his eyes.
The disappointment is because the head of the Bai family should not be like this.
The envy is because if he had half of Bai Xun's courage, Bai Yufeng...maybe he wouldn't have died.
"I just said, it's not only for Nanchun, but also for the Bai family. The weather is nice today, brother, please accompany me for a walk in the mountains." Bai Xun said.
Bai Song hasn't been up the mountain for a long time.
When he was a child, his mother often brought him here.
The last time his mother brought him here was when he was eight or nine years old, and his memory of it was already very vague.
I only remember that he was running after the butterflies and came to a beautiful... garden?
Then he tripped over something and started crying loudly.
That inexplicable feeling of fear still makes him feel uneasy when he thinks about it now.
Later, A'niang ran over, covered his eyes, and then carried him down the mountain.
He dreamed of that scene more than once.
But I never dreamed why he was so scared.
As time went on, he began to lose track of whether it was a dream or something that really happened.
When he grew up, he thought it must have been a dream!
After all, no one lives on the mountain, so how could there be such a big garden?
wrong……
There really is a garden on the hill.
Bai Song stood on the gentle slope and stared at the sea of flowers in front of him in amazement.
here……
It was the place he always dreamed of.
Seeing his pale face, Bai Xun asked, "Brother, do you know this place too?"
Bo Song frowned: "Where is this place?"
Bai Xun said, "This is the place where the flowers bloom best in this mountain. Do you know why the flowers here bloom the best?"
Bo Song's heart trembled, and he suddenly felt cold all over, as if some horrible memory was about to emerge.
Bai Xun dug with a shovel and revealed a human skull.
He looked at Bo Song: "Because there is special fertilizer here."
Bo Song opened his eyes wide and took two steps back unconsciously.
Bai Xun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his expression.
It turns out that my brother didn't know either.
"The great wizard said that this corpse pit was originally very deep. It was gradually filled up after people were buried there, and the layers underneath were all filled with corpses. The Eighteen Levels of Hell probably look like this," said Bai Xun.
Bai Song looked solemn.
He could roughly guess who these people were.
Some people who are against the interests of the Bai family, those who betrayed the Bai family, those who coveted the Bai family...
My grandfather hated these people so much that he would not let them live.
Xundi was still too kind.
"Sometimes... if you don't kill anyone, people will kill you. Maybe you think some people don't deserve the death penalty. But whether they deserve death or not depends on your position. Although it's cruel, this is reality." Bo Song sighed.
