244 People From The Bai Family
When Yun Zhengyang heard Qian Nanyin’s words, he couldn’t help but frown and look at Bai Xiaojiu.
Any father wouldn’t want their daughter to marry an ordinary and useless man.
He frowned and asked, “Who are you? Why do you proclaim yourself as someone from the Bai Family?”
Just as Yun Wei wanted to answer, Yun Zhengyang glanced at her. “Let him speak for himself.”
Hearing this, Bai Xiaojiu suddenly felt nervous, like how a guy would feel when meeting the parents of the woman they loved for the first time. He then coughed to clear his throat before saying, “My surname is Bai and my name is Xiaojiu. I’m…someone from the Bai Family.”
These words caused him to feel a strange sense of shame.
There were many people from the second generation of the Bai Family, and there were even more from the third generation like him.
Moreover, he had always been low-profile. Although his relationship with his grandfather was the best, he didn’t say anything to people outside because he wasn’t the eldest grandson. So, this was the first time he was using the ‘fame’ of the Bai Family.
However, as he said this, Qian Nanyin began to laugh. He directly looked at Wen Yuyi. “Yuyi, have you heard that the Bai Family has a Bai Xiaojiu before?”
Wen Yuyi smiled and shook her head. “Nope.”
Bai Xiaojiu was always low-profile so only those who had interactions with the Bai Family would know of him. Moreover, the Wen Family was too low in status and naturally had no real interactions with the Bai Family. In fact, the Bai Family had never known that there was a Wen Family in the capital.
So, how could Wen Yuyi know of him?
Bai Xiaojiu. “…”
Just when he wanted to explain, Qian Nanyin sneered. “Do you think that you are from the capital just because your surname is ‘Bai’? Maybe it is true that you shared the same ancestors. Don’t tell me you are planning to acknowledge them by rushing here because you know that they will be coming for lunch? Butler, quickly throw this man out. If not, he would embarrass us later when the Bai Family is here!”
Bai Xiaojiu. “!”
He was truly his grandfather’s grandson. Why must he prove his identity?
Just when he had no idea what to say, Yun Wei’s clear voice rang out, “This place is the Yun Manor. No matter how we wish to entertain our guests, I’m afraid Mr. Qian isn’t qualified to make the decision.”
Qian Nanyin immediately looked at her and said, “Yun Wei, what do you mean? Don’t tell me you are planning to invite him in and really introduce him to the Bai family?”
Yun Wei hated how this guy looked down on others the most.
On the other hand, Bai Xiaojiu gave her a very good impression. This was especially so after he had helped her to get out of the predicament previously. She always felt grateful to him in her heart. Also, Bai Xiaojiu was really good-looking, so it was natural that she had a favorable impression of him…
So, upon hearing this, Yun Wei immediately said, “Not everyone is the same as you, wanting to get close to people and build relationships just for the sake of climbing the social ladder! Mr. Bai’s visit today is only a coincidence. He is my guest, so I’ll naturally welcome him. You have no right to point your fingers and comment!”
After saying that, Yun Wei looked at Wen Yuyi and tilted her chin slightly. “Miss Wen, please mind your fiance well. For those who don’t know the truth, they might actually think that this place is the Wen Family and not the Yun Family!”
After saying that, Yun Wei finally turned to look at Bai Xiaojiu. She stepped to the side and smiled. “Please enter.”
Bai Xiaojiu. “…”
He didn’t enter right away but chose to first cast a glance over at Yun Zhengyang and Madam Yun to ascertain their expressions.
Yun Zhengyang was also feeling very unhappy over what Qian Nanyin had said earlier. How had he been so blind those years ago? He had actually felt back then that Qian Nanyin wasn’t that bad, which was why he had set up that marriage engagement for his daughter.
Now right after the marriage engagement was annulled, Qian Nanyin immediately spoke using such a harsh tone and wanted to command his daughter. He naturally had to support his daughter.
Yun Zhengyang then lowered his eyelids and nodded faintly at Bai Xiaojiu. “Since you are Little Wei’s guest, please enter.”
Only then did Bai Xiaojiu step inside.
Yun Wei said, “Please come over here. There will be other guests coming here later, so let me bring you to tour the Yun Manor first.”
Bai Xiaojiu was clearly one of the ‘guests’ they were expecting, but it seemed as though he had secretly entered now. He didn’t know what to say, so he could only mumble, “…Alright.”
In any case, his grandfather would be here during noon. At that time, he could simply ask his grandfather to prove his identity.
After the two of them left, Qian Nanyin’s eyes were still fixed on Yun Wei. His expression was now ashen.
He directly looked at Yun Zhengyang and said, “Uncle Yun, are you going to spoil her like this? That person surnamed ‘Bai’ is clearly only after the power of your family. How can you…”
Yun Zhengyang coldly said, “Do I need your permission when it comes to doing things?”
Qian Nanyin immediately shut his mouth reluctantly.
However, he was extremely angry in his heart.
Wen Yuyi who was at the side also felt extremely vexed when she saw his appearance. It was clear that Qian Nanyin felt very unwilling about Yun Wei.
In the past, before he had annulled the engagement, he had always said he didn’t care about Yun Wei and didn’t like her. But now, why did he suddenly seem to care about Yun Wei?
Thinking about this, Wen Yuyi felt extremely infuriated.
After that, Wen Yuyi seamlessly took a step forward and hugged Qian Nanyin’s arm. “Brother Nanyin, what will you say later when you meet the young master from the Bai Family?”
As expected, Qian Nanyin’s attention immediately shifted. “Should I talk about the customs of our Ford City?’
Wen Yuyi smiled. “The capital is only an hour’s drive away from here. Our customs and theirs wouldn’t be much different.”
Qian Nanyin. “What should I chat about then?”
Wen Yuyi smiled. “You should say this…”
She then pulled Qian Nanyin away to the side.
Shen Wanxian looked at their appearances before glancing at Yun Zhengyang. “Big brother, I actually didn’t agree to this marriage, but since the two children are really in love with each other, I will feel bad if I have to separate Yuyi and Qian Nanyin. I also hope that Little Wei can marry someone better. Oh right, later on when the Bai Family’s young master comes over, do you need me to help introduce him to Little Wei?”
After saying that, she quietly sighed. “However, the barrier to enter the Bai Family is too high. Even if you get acquainted with the old master of the Bai Family, their young masters probably have to marry people of equal status. I heard that people from the four great influential families never marry outsiders…”
Yun Zhengyang immediately replied, “Since Little Wei’s status is too inferior, there’s no need for you to worry about this. How is the banquet preparation?”
“No problem, don’t worry.”
Madam Yun inhaled deeply a few times when she heard these words at the side.
The few of them then returned to the living room.
Shen Ruojing didn’t bother coming down now and only brought the two children down when the time for the banquet was nearing.
Just when she arrived downstairs, she saw Yun Wei and Bai Xiaojiu being stopped at the back door of the banquet hall by Shen Wanxian.
So, she lifted her brows and walked over.
She then heard Shen Wanxian saying, “Little Wei, if you wish to welcome your friend, you should bring him to the back to eat. The guests that are coming today are too important, and I didn’t prepare a seat for him.”
Yun Wei was very angry. “Isn’t it a simple matter to resolve?”
“How can that be so simple?” Shen Wanxian refused to compromise. “Today’s banquet is so exclusive, and even the people from the third house have come over. Moreover, all the seats are already arranged. Mr. Bai is an outsider, so we naturally cannot allow him to casually join the banquet.”
Yun Wei was even angrier. “This place is my house!”
However, Shen Wanxian replied, “But hosting the Bai Family is something I’m responsible for. Even big brother has to listen to me. Don’t tell me you are planning to be disobedient? I just received news that the Bai Family will arrive in five minutes. Little Wei, you won’t make things difficult for me, right?”
