Bai Xue and her assistant looked a little unnatural.
Bai An didnât look at the two of them, but he knew that she would definitely assume that they were the same person.
The reporter did not know what to say and could only remain silent.
âWhat else do you want to ask?â Bai An suddenly asked.
The reporter shook his head and did not say anything else.
They didnât speak along the way. By the time they reached the county town, it was already the next day.
In the assistantâs eyes, the impoverished town was very down and out.
She did not expect that the glamorous Bai Xue had lived in such a desolate place in the past. How lucky was Bai Xue to meet a man like Li Yan? In her previous life, Bai Xue probably saved the universe, right?
Thinking of this, she was a little jealous of Bai Xue. Her conditions in being an assistant werenât much inferior to Bai Xue, but why could she only be an assistant? Bai Xue was just a village girl, but she became the future boss of a company?
The assistant asked with some disdain, âBai Xue, you used to be here?â
Before Bai Xue could reply, Bai An said, âOur Bai family is not that rich. This is a county town, much better than our village. We still have to go into the mountains to reach our residence, so the car canât go in.â
What? Itâs worse than this?
âThe car canât go in?â the assistant asked gloomily.
âItâs all mountain roads,â Bai An said coldly. âWe can only walk. Hurry up and weâll be there in two hours. Letâs go. Arenât you city dwellers always interested in working out?â
Bai An did not care if this assistant was good-looking or not. He did not give her any face at all.
âWhat?â the assistant said unhappily. âWalk? Is this a joke? Iâm wearing high heels. Do I still have to walk for two hours on the mountain road?â
If she had known this would happen, she wouldâve looked for an excuse not to come.
Bai Xueâs face darkened. She could tell that her assistant was starting to feel uneasy when she saw such a desolate place.
She said, âIf you donât want to leave, then you can stay here by yourself. Weâll leave immediately.â
The assistant was a little dumbfounded. She said awkwardly, âBai Xue, Iâm worried that you wonât be able to walk.â
âWho are you mocking?â Bai Xue asked coldly. âThis is not my first time. If you feel wronged, you can stay or go back by yourself.â
The assistant saw her cold gaze and immediately quieted down. She wanted to go back, but she was unfamiliar with the place. She wouldnât even know if she got deceived.
The mountain road was rugged. Bai An did not walk slowly just because there were girls.
Although Bai Xue was familiar with the path, she had not walked on a mountain road for a long time. In addition, she had not exercised in a while. After walking for half an hour, she was already exhausted.
The assistant was in a worse state than her because she was wearing high heels and sprained her ankle. Now, she could only limp behind.
At noon, everyone finally saw the village in the ravine.
Bai Xue was very reluctant to return. She never thought that there would be a day when she would come here.
Seeing the dilapidated village, the assistant was a little dissatisfied. She did not know how long she would have to stay here. She wished she could fly back to the city.
From afar, everyone saw many villagers at the entrance.
When Bai Xue saw this scene, her vanity skyrocketed. Although she looked down on these people, she enjoyed being noticed.
These people must be gathered to welcome a celebrity like her.
When they arrived at the entrance, Bai Xue saw the village chief standing at the front.
She confidently raised her head and puffed out her chest. She surpassed Bai An and went up to greet the village chief.
The ten security guards quickly caught up with her. The reporters also held their cameras and followed closely behind, taking photos at any time.
Seeing the well-trained security guards and the reporters following closely behind, she was even more proud.
Soon, the news of her being filial and kind as she ignored her past grudges and returned to her village for her familyâs funeral would pop up. At that time, she would gain new popularity.
At this moment, her assistant was the only one who limped to the end because she had sprained her ankle. Her eyes were filled with hatred.
Bai Xue smiled politely when she walked up to the village chief. She said, âVillage Chief, Iâm back,â
However, the village chief did not even look at Bai Xue. He looked at Bai An and asked, âBai An, your brother is back?â asked the village chief.
The reporters immediately stopped what they were doing because none of the villagers paid any attention to Bai Xue. Moreover, they didnât even greet her politely. Everyone looked at Bai Anâs backpack.
Bai An, who had been silent all the way, suddenly choked up and said, âBig Brother, weâre home. Do you see? The village chief and all our uncles have come out to greet you. What an honor!â
Bai Xueâs face darkened, and she felt very awkward.. After a long time, the village people werenât here to greet her, but her dead brother!
