Chapter 247 - 247 Meeting the Big Boss
247 Meeting the Big Boss
Grandson?
The moment Old Master Bai said this, everyone was shocked.
All of them looked at Bai Xiaojiu.
Yun Zhengyang was stunned and he also looked at Bai Xiaojiu in disbelief.
Yun Zhengyang always had a good impression of this young man who seemed to have a good upbringing. However, he had never expected this young man to be a member of the Bai Family.
It was because even the sons of the Yun Family, including Yun Yiheng, had the words “I’m a second-affluent generation, don’t provoke me” written on their faces.
Yun Zhengyang’s nephews were even more arrogant, and Qian Nanyin also liked to look down on others.
Therefore, Yun Zhengyang had never expected that this humble man was a grandchild of the Bai Family.
Hearing this, even though Yun Wei had her guesses, her face also changed colors from red to white.
She looked at Bai Xiaojiu in disbelief.
At this moment, Qian Nanyin’s face turned ashen. He stuttered and asked in astonishment, “Grand… grandson? He’s your grandson?”
Old Master Bai ignored him and looked at Bai Xiaojiu. “Xiaojiu, what’s going on?”
The gentle Bai Xiaojiu took a step forward to stand next to Qian Nanyin, glancing at him.
Qian Nanyin, who had been arrogant earlier, immediately took a step back and made way for Bai Xiaojiu. The latter then supported Old Master Bai’s arm, and his glance swept past Qian Nanyin.
Qian Nanyin’s heart pounded and he gulped.
He then looked at Yun Zhengyang.
Yun Zhengyang was also utterly shocked.
He wondered if Old Master Bai would be angry that they had been a poor host to Bai Family’s young master.
Just as he was deep in thought, he heard Bai Xiaojiu say, “Grandfather, it’s fine. I just had a bit of a misunderstanding with Mr. Qian.”
Yun Zhengyang instantly heaved a sigh of relief.
However, Qian Nanyin’s face had turned extremely dark.
Old Master Bai took a glance at Qian Nanyin. As he did not like to interfere in matters between the younger generation, he merely said coldly, “Misunderstanding?”
Upon hearing this, Qian Nanyin’s legs turned to jelly!
Given the Bai Family’s status in the capital, just a word from them could cause the Qian Family to go bankrupt!
This was not a joke!
Qian Nanyin trembled in fear with his head lowered. “Mr. Bai, I was wrong. I didn’t know your identity. I…”
However, Old Master Bai and Bai Xiaojiu paid him no heed at all. Old Master Bai looked straight at Yun Wei, and his tone suddenly turned playful. “The matter with him was a misunderstanding. Then is the matter about you being her boyfriend a misunderstanding as well? If so, then I won’t take it seriously…”
Bai Xiaojiu immediately panicked. “Grandfather! You know what I mean!”
Old Master Bai immediately broke out in laughter.
Qian Nanyin who was ignored. “…”
He then took the opportunity after Old Master Bai was done laughing to go up and say again, “Old Master Bai, I really know my mistake. I…”
But then, Old Master Bai only looked at Yun Zhengyang and said, “Nephew Yun, your house isn’t bad!”
Old Master Bai had addressed Yun Zhengyang as ‘Mr. Yun’ earlier but changed to call him ‘Nephew Yun’ now… Yun Zhengyang obviously heaved a sigh of relief. He knew from this that Old Master Bai was very satisfied with them!
Yun Zhengyang immediately said tactfully, “Uncle, please come in!”
Old Master Bai walked toward the Yun Manor’s living room under the accompaniment of Bai Xiaojiu and Yun Zhengyang.
After taking two steps, he suddenly said, “It’s a little noisy.”
Yun Zhengyang immediately stopped in his footsteps and looked at Shen Wanxian. “Hmmm, take care of this.”
He then accompanied Old Master Yun to go to the living room.
Qian Nanyin who was trying very hard to explain himself. “??”
He was stumped and looked like he was almost about to burst into tears!
Shen Wanxian looked at him and said softly, “You should go back first.”
He had angered Old Master Bai. If he continued to go in and be an eyesore, it would just make things worse!
Qian Nanyin was unwilling to accept this. “Auntie, I can’t leave. Yuyi said that she was going to introduce me to the Bai Family’s young master…”
Before he finished his sentence, the rest of the words got stuck in his throat.
Given this situation, would the Bai Family’s young master want to get to know him?!
Qian Nanyin gulped.
Shen Wanxian also silently cursed that this was really bad luck!
The Bai Family had come to Ford City, but how did Bai Xiaojiu and Yun Wei become fond of each other?
Other than being a little good-looking, Yun Wei didn’t have talent, character, or fame. To think that Bai Xiaojiu could take a fancy to her?
Was the Bai Family so easygoing when it came to picking a daughter-in-law?
If she knew this would happen, she would have let Wen Yuyi get close to Bai Xiaojiu!
Qian Nanyin continued to say anxiously, “Auntie, please let me go in. I’ll apologize properly to the Bai Family’s young master. Bai Xiaojiu likes Yun Wei, so he’ll definitely care about the Yun Family’s face and won’t make things difficult for me. Auntie, I’m Yuyi’s fiancé now. You have to help me!”
After saying that, he then said to Wen Yuyi, “Yuyi, hurry up and put in a word for me!”
Wen Yuyi looked at Shen Wanxian. “Mother, why not let Bro Nanyin in!”
Her words made Shen Wanxian hesitate.
Shen Ruojing didn’t follow everyone else around Old Master Bai to enter the house and stayed outside of the crowd.
Seeing this scene, Shen Ruojing suddenly thought of how Shen Wanxian had tried to chase Bai Xiaojiu away earlier. Shen Ruojing smiled and took a step forward, saying coldly, “Madam Shen must have spent a lot of effort to prepare today’s banquet carefully. I’m sure that you won’t let someone in to spoil Old Master Bai’s good mood, right?”
Shen Wanxian was stumped.
Shen Ruojing raised her brows. “The reason you didn’t let an outsider enter earlier was that you were afraid that things would be messed up. Are you not afraid now?”
The meaning of her words was clear. Earlier on, Shen Wanxian had stopped Bai Xiaojiu from joining the banquet. She had offended Bai Xiaojiu, yet she could use the reason of having put in great effort preparing the banquet for the Bai Family to cover up for her actions.
But if she were to let Qian Nanyin in now… she’d be slapping Bai Xiaojiu in the face.
Shen Wanxian understood after hearing this. Between herself and Qian Nanyin, she decisively chose herself. Qian Nanyin was just her daughter’s fiancé, and it remained to be seen if they’d get married eventually!
Shen Wanxian immediately looked toward Qian Nanyin. “You go back first. Don’t make a fuss here.”
The latter part of the words had a hint of warning in them.
Qian Nanyin. “…”
He had told his good friends that he was going to get to know the Bai Family’s young master today. Then, if it was possible, he’d use the excuse of bringing Young Master Bai around to have fun with them!
Now, he couldn’t even enter the door… If his friends were to find out about this, it’d simply be extremely embarrassing!
However, he didn’t dare to disobey and could only turn around to leave angrily.
Shen Wanxian only turned and headed toward the living room after seeing him leave.
Meanwhile, Wen Yuyi felt upset when she saw that her mother didn’t give her face and chased Qian Nanyin away.
She took in a deep breath, and when she passed by Shen Ruojing, she suddenly paused in her footsteps, narrowing her eyes. She then asked, “Are you feeling very proud now?”
Shen Ruojing. “?”
Wen Yuyi sneered and said, “So what if your mother is grandmother’s biological daughter? Didn’t she still grow up in a small city and get married to a small celebrity? On the other hand, my mother got married to the capital’s Wen Family and has contact with the wife of the Bai Family’s third house. That’s how she managed to invite Old Master Bai over!
“The reason Old Master Bai came is on the account of my mother. My parents can say a few words in front of Old Master Bai, but what about yours?! Your mother might seem like a chill person as though she wouldn’t fight for things, but the truth is that she knows she can’t win! As for your father, he’s even funnier. He will probably be so scared that he can’t say a single word in front of Old Master Bai, right?!
“So what right do you have to see me as a joke? You’re the greatest joke here!”
After saying that, Wen Yuyi entered the living room.
She had just entered when she heard Yun Zhengyang say, “Uncle Bai, these are our relatives, and they are also guests today. Let me introduce you to them. This is my wife’s older sister. She’s also Matriarch Chu from the Sea City’s Chu Family.”
Old Master nodded at them, his gaze lingering a little longer on Chu Cichen.
Then, Yun Zhengyang pointed to Shen Qianhui and Jing Zhen, saying, “And this is my aunt’s daughter, Shen Qianhui.”
He then added lightly, “The one next to her is her husband, Jing Zhen.”
