In the end, he was sent away directly by Xie Zixi, ending miserably.
When Bai Xingqiao walked in, he was lying on Xie Zixi's bed wearing only a loose white shirt. Xie Zixi opened the door and entered. Bai Xingqiao looked horrified: "I said I went to the wrong place, do you believe it?"
Xie Zixi looked sinister, and could barely resist the urge to hit someone: "Get out!"
Bai Xingqiao ran away quickly: "Okay."
He doesn't have to work every day, has no worries about food and drink, and can get 50 million in a year. He couldn't ask for such a life before, so Bai Xingqiao happily lived a salted fish retirement life.
I know that Mr. Ba often doesn't come home, and I know that Mr. Ba is constantly having scandals outside. Bai Xingqiao ignored it and clapped happily: Great.
After that, I went to a nightclub to dance and have a great time. My biggest interest every day was shopping, shopping, whatever made me happy, I was completely exhausted.

Xie Zixi once again made clear boundaries with him: Bai Xingqiao, don't imagine that I will fall in love with you. Get out of Xie's house in a year.
Bai Xingqiao: Okay, it's a deal.
