After Bai Shang was taken away, He Ju finally turned to Bai Xu and said, “Third Uncle, if I find out you’re harboring any ill intentions again, you can forget about living in this old house. And as for your personal assets, they ultimately belong to the Bai family. It would be perfectly justified for us to take them back…”

Before He Ju could finish, Bai Qifeng immediately flared up, “What do you mean justified? What do our personal assets have to do with the Bai family?”

He Ju looked at Bai Qifeng with an icy calm, “All the assets under your name were allocated by the Bai family. Without those assets, where would your personal wealth come from?”

He Ju sneered, “What? You think something belongs to you just because you’ve used it for a while?”

As He Ju spoke, his gaze swept across the room, finally landing on Bai Jiaqian with a slight smile, “Isn’t that right, Auntie?”

Was he hinting at her?

Bai Jiaqian gave an awkward smile and remained silent.

He Ju didn’t need a response from Bai Jiaqian. After speaking, he turned around and took Si Hua’s hand, “Wife, let’s go home.”

Si Hua smiled tenderly, her eyes brimming with love and admiration for He Ju as she softly replied, “Okay.”

He Ju and Si Hua’s figures quickly disappeared from everyone’s sight.

The living room was left with only Bai Xu and Bai Qifeng.

It took a while for Bai Qifeng to realize that he had been too arrogant, thinking that his dealings with Bai Shangmo were secret and his actions flawless. But He Ju had already figured him out without his knowledge.

Bai Shangmo was still on the wanted list, with notices of his bounty plastered online and in the streets, while Qiu Shaoze and Gu Li had vanished without a trace.

Many of Bai Shangmo’s subordinates had been arrested, and the things Bai Shangmo had done were likely exposed.

If his collaboration with Bai Shangmo were to be discovered by the police, he wouldn’t get off easily.

At this moment, Bai Qifeng truly hated the situation. He had decided not to cause trouble, yet Bai Shang had drawn He Ju’s attention back to them.

And now, He Ju held a grudge against him.

For Bai Qifeng, this was a very dangerous situation.

After much thought, Bai Qifeng decided to test the waters with He Ju. But just as he stood up, Bai Xu suddenly asked, “Why did you go to the hospital to see Gu Li?”

Bai Qifeng was taken aback, “Dad, shouldn’t you be thinking about how to regain He Ju’s trust? If our company really gets taken back, how will we survive?”

Bai Xu scowled and cursed, “That shameless sister of yours!”

Bai Qifeng fell silent for a few seconds, “She’s wrong, but she did it for the family. Let’s think of a way to get her out early.”

“Mom doesn’t know about this yet. Call her and let her know, I’ll go find He Ju.”

Bai Xu asked, “What are you going to do with He Ju?”

Bai Qifeng replied, “Of course, to plead with him. Do you really want to see Bai Shang end up in a mental institution?”

After Bai Qifeng spoke, both his and Bai Xu’s phones received a notification at the same time. They exchanged glances and immediately checked their phones, only to find notices of their accounts being frozen.

Father and son fully realized that every word He Ju said was true.

Bai Xu said, “I’ll go with you to find him.”

Bai Qifeng frowned, “I think he doesn’t want to see us right now…”

After all, He Ju had acted so swiftly.

Bai Xu was at a loss, “What should we do?”

Bai Qifeng suggested, “Let’s wait for mom to come back and then decide.”

For the moment, Bai Qifeng didn’t dare to make any rash moves, fearing any misstep might displease He Ju, and they could lose their ancestral home.

Bai Xu had no choice but to call his wife immediately.

Meanwhile, He Ju had already returned home with Si Hua.

As soon as they entered, Si Hua hugged He Ju tightly, burying her head in his chest.

He Ju smiled and patted her head, “What’s wrong? Got scared?”

Si Hua nodded, “I wasn’t scared by the chaos just now, but on the way here, I got scared. It’s not that I don’t trust you, I just… I’m afraid of losing you.”

Si Hua’s voice choked up a bit, “I can’t lose you. I’ve gotten used to having you around. Without you, I wouldn’t be able to live.”

He Ju tenderly stroked her hair, “Silly girl, how could you possibly lose me?”

He Ju steadied Si Hua’s shoulders and looked down at her with sincere eyes, “I really dislike trouble, and in this life, I only want to deal with one woman, and that’s you. Since the day we got our marriage certificate, I’ve only had eyes for you.”

Si Hua looked up at He Ju, her long lashes wet with tears, her eyes red and pitiful, like a delicate little white flower, melting He Ju’s heart even more.

He Ju wondered if it was his imagination, but he felt like he was raising Si Hua to be more and more like a little girl.

Si Hua tugged at his sleeve, her voice soft and sweet, “Really?”

He Ju laughed, a genuine happiness from within, unable to resist reaching out to tease Si Hua’s nose, replying indulgently, “Really, why would I lie to you?”

Si Hua’s mood lifted, her eyes curving like crescent moons, she tiptoed and planted a kiss on his cheek.

Then her voice became much more cheerful, “Then you go take a shower. I bought a lot of food in the car, I’ll bring it in and cook you a sumptuous dinner!”

He Ju smiled, “I’ll help you with the bags…”

Before he could finish, Si Hua pushed him towards the bathroom, “No, no, you’ll spoil the surprise!”

He Ju resignedly said, “Alright, I’ll go shower first, and I’ll do the dishes later.”

As soon as He Ju finished speaking, Si Hua grabbed his hand.

He Ju turned back, puzzled, “What’s wrong, wife?”

Si Hua’s face suddenly turned red, her teeth lightly biting her lip, looking somewhat embarrassed.

This made He Ju even more curious, “What’s wrong? Can’t you just say it?”

At He Ju’s words, Si Hua’s ears turned a shade of red, making He Ju’s heart itch with curiosity.

What could it be that made Si Hua show such a shy expression?

He Ju leaned in close to Si Hua, whispering, “What’s the matter? Thinking about it? Want to shower together?”

Si Hua’s heart fluttered, and she quickly shook her head, “It’s not that, don’t get the wrong idea…”

Si Hua’s skin blushed a soft pink, her lips tender and glossy, looking utterly delectable.

Just as He Ju was about to pull her into the bathroom, Si Hua revealed her intention.

In a soft voice, Si Hua said, “Why don’t we… try hard… to have a child?”
