Chapter 364 Hypocrisy
Chapter 364 Hypocrisy
Seeing that Bai Rui was still very opposed to his marriage with Zheng Qingyun.
Xianxian couldn't help but asked seriously, "Do you want to watch Zheng Qingyun die?"
"How can he die? I just don't want to marry him, not to die."
Bai Rui still has modern thinking today.
They just break up if they feel the relationship is not suitable, and divorce if they can't live together. There is no sense of the era of integration at all.
"Do you know what happens to a man who is rejected for marriage many times?"
In response to Xianxian's question, Bai Rui shook her head in confusion.
At this time, Xianxian explained, "By then, he will be forced to wear a three-foot white silk, because he is considered very unlucky, and his husband's family dare not keep him at home."
"How is that possible? Will I die if I can't get married?"
This really scared Bai Rui.
I just want to cancel the engagement.
But I never thought of forcing the other person to death.
Bai Rui asked somewhat uneasily, "If what I said today gets out, will the man I'm engaged to be with also be affected?"
Xianxian nodded slightly under her gaze.
"Of course. The man you are engaged to is named Zheng, and his family is also wealthy."
"But it just so happens that Mr. Zheng Qingyun has never been able to get married in these years. Others think that he is too big and strong and not gentle enough."
"Mrs. Zheng is beginning to get anxious. This young lady is a good person with no hidden illness, but she just can't get married."
"This time Zheng Qingyun's marriage proposal to you should be his last chance."
Last chance?
If I cross out the other party's last chance, would I really be pushing him into a desperate situation?
Bai Rui's face turned slightly pale, and she had already begun to accept this marriage in her heart.
If you can sacrifice your own happiness to save a life, it would be quite meaningful.
Looking at Bai Rui, she was lost in thought.
Xianxian asked with a smile while eating melon seeds, "Is there anything else you want to know? Do you want me to take you to meet Mr. Zheng?"
"Meet Master Zheng?"
I heard that I was asked to go meet Zheng Qingyun.
Bai Rui seemed a little at a loss.
"Yes, your fiancé. You only met him once at the beginning. Now you have recovered. Why don't you wait for two days until you feel better? I will take you to meet Mr. Zheng, so that you won't feel strange."
"Okay, second sister, I'll go with you to meet him quietly in a few days."
"Then you should get some rest early. I'll be back soon. Please tell me if you need anything. Don't let yourself be wronged."
Looking at the friendly smile on the other person's face, Bai Rui felt warm in her heart.
I'm lucky to have traveled through time here. At least there's someone I can talk to.
Bai Rui slept very soundly tonight. She started dressing herself up as soon as she woke up the next day. After receiving the gift from Zhu Zhengjun, she even went to the main courtyard to pay her respects.
I heard Bai Rui coming.
Zhu Zhengjun paused and frowned slightly.
He really didn't want to see Bai Rui, after all, she was Mr. Lin's daughter.
I have helped Mr. Lin to cheat me many times in the past.
Xianxian, who was standing by, said to him, "Father, remember what I told you yesterday. You must not mess this up."
"If you want to win over Mr. Lin, you must first treat Bai Rui better than Mr. Lin treats Bai Rui."
Hear Xianxian's reminder.
Zhu Zhengjun gritted his teeth and swung the handkerchief, "Alright, I understand."
"Why don't you let Miss Three in? I'm discussing the marriages of the two young ladies. She's getting married soon, so she should come and listen to my arrangements."
Bai Rui looked around the main courtyard with great curiosity, and felt that it was worthy of being the courtyard where her husband lived, as the flowers and plants arranged inside were extraordinary.
Today, Zhu Zhengjun wore a crimson purple dress with his hair tied up casually, looking indescribably lazy and devilish.
He saw Bai Rui curling the corners of her lips.
"Rui'er is here, please sit down."
It's obviously just a name.
But Bai Rui's ears felt numb when she heard it.
She pinched the corner of her clothes and saluted with some reserve.
"The daughter has met her father."
I didn’t expect Bai Rui to be so well-behaved. This way she doesn’t look that annoying. At least her face isn’t that annoying.
As long as you ignore her similarities with Mr. Lin, she looks much more pleasing to the eye.
"sit down."
Zhu Zhengjun was holding a pen and revising something.
"Your second sister and I are discussing your wedding. We're going to have to hold a grand ceremony. This is a rare happy event in your family. Now that you're even better, it can be called a triple blessing."
The servant in the main courtyard was very considerate and immediately placed cakes and tea next to Bai Rui.
Before Bai Rui traveled through time, she was just a child from an ordinary family and had never seen such exquisite pastries.
Looking at the exquisite and beautiful pastries, Bai Rui has already swallowed several mouthfuls of water.
But since it was in someone else's yard, she felt a little embarrassed to just pick it up and start eating.
Zhu Zhengjun had been observing Bai Rui and saw that she was staring at the pastries and couldn't take her eyes off.
Why is Bai Rui so greedy?
But they were just some ordinary cakes.
He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Have you had breakfast this morning?"
Bai Rui blushed and shook her head gently, "No, I will get up late tomorrow morning, and I forgot about it just now because I was busy going out."
"Silly girl, eat some cakes to fill your stomach."
Zhu Zhengjun is just a donkey that goes with the flow.
Definitely not go the other way.
If you go against him, he will do everything he can to go against you.
But if you can go along with him, his temper will be much better.
Mr. Lin had offended him, which was why Zhu Zhengjun had been thinking about him for so many years.
Bai Rui came to pay her respects early today, which pleased Zhu Zhengjun very much. He felt respected by Bai Rui, so he even spoke in a softer voice.
Bai Rui was also a sweet-talking girl, and she made Zhu Zhengjun happy with just a few words.
She even told Zhu Zhengjun jokes, and there was constant laughter in the main courtyard.
When Mr. Lin learned that Bai Rui went to pay her respects to Zhu Zhengjun, he immediately became restless. Isn't this sending a sheep into the wolf's mouth?
I have been fighting with Zhu Zhengjun for so many years, and I know too well how petty Zhu Zhengjun is.
The other party will definitely make things difficult for Bai Rui.
Mr. Lin gritted his teeth and walked towards the main courtyard, but he was stopped as soon as he arrived there.
The servant said with a cold look on his face, "Mr. Lin, you cannot go in without Mr. Zheng's consent."
"Step aside!"
Mr. Lin pushed the servant away and was about to rush in, but at this moment Bai Rui walked out from the main courtyard and happened to see the servant being pushed to the ground.
"Mr. Lin, you must understand the rules."
"rule?"
Mr. Lin said angrily with a cold face, "I am the master of the mansion, but you are just a servant. Aren't my words the rules? If something really happens, you can just go to the lady to seek justice."
So overbearing.
The servant caught sight of Bai Rui not far away and immediately covered his waist and cried out.
"Mr. Lin, I am just following your orders. You should calm down and don't barge into the main courtyard."
Mr. Lin was already feeling upset, and now he heard the servant's almost threatening words.
There was a cold flash in his eyes.
"Come here, slap me."
In the past, Mr. Lin relied on his favor to slap the servants in the main courtyard many times.
At that time, Mrs. Bai treated him like a treasure and held him in the palm of her hand.
Naturally, he would not allow his baby to suffer any injustice.
But now Mr. Lin is different from before.
Finally Bai Rui couldn't bear it anymore.
She hurriedly ran up and stood in front of the servant.
"You can't hit him!"
Seeing his daughter appear, Lin Langjun first breathed a sigh of relief, but then he heard Bai Rui's righteous voice.
"How can you hit someone? This boy is just following orders. Why do you want to hit someone? It's too unreasonable."
Xianxian, who was standing by, watched the farce happening and stopped Zhu Zhengjun who wanted to intervene.
This was like a bucket of cold water poured down on Zhu Zhengjun.
"Don't be impatient, father. Now is just the time to watch the show. We just need to wait."
"Row."
At this time, Lin Langjun stared at Bai Rui in disbelief.
The daughter in front of me is obviously still my daughter.
The look and voice haven't changed.
But it is just so strange.
"I'm unreasonable? Rui'er, I'm the father of your adopted daughter, why are you now talking about my faults?"
There was a look of loss in Lin Langjun's eyes.
These words made Bai Rui break out in a cold sweat, and she almost forgot that she had traveled through time and space to become Bai Rui from another world.
But I can't just watch innocent people get beaten.
She stared at Lin Langjun with determination in her eyes, "I know you are my father, but you can't hit people for no reason."
She is truly worthy of being the heroine. She really can’t bear to see innocent people being beaten.
Xianxian calculated this accurately and deliberately let the servant provoke Mr. Lin.
Mr. Lin has been in an unstable mood these days, and this is the best time to take advantage of him.
Mr. Lin remembered that he was in the main courtyard.
He gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "I am your biological father, how can you still control me?"
The servant also began to play his role.
He looked only twelve or thirteen years old, which would definitely arouse Bai Rui's desire to protect him.
He whispered to Bai Rui, "Miss Third, I am just a lowly servant. I offended Master Lin unintentionally just now. I deserve to be beaten and scolded..."
The other party is just a young boy. In his original world, he is only in elementary school or junior high school, but here he has to become the master's punching bag.
Bai Rui's disapproval grew stronger and stronger.
"Don't say that. We are all born of the same parents. Who is more noble than the other?"
"Mr. Lin, if you insist on beating this child, then I will go find my wife and will never let you do what you want."
The father and daughter were in a stalemate. Mr. Lin was so angry that he was shaking all over. He just felt that Bai Rui was strange and scary.
"Are you crazy? Others only say that you are fine, but I think you are crazy now. How could my Ruier talk back like this?"
Hearing what Mr. Lin said, Bai Rui felt guilty.
Of course, she was not the original Bai Rui, but in order to avoid being burned to death as a monster, she absolutely could not admit it.
At this time, Xianxian gestured to Zhu Zhengjun.
Now is the time for Zhu Zhengjun to appear.
Zhu Zhengjun raised his eyebrows slightly, held his head high and chest out, and appeared in front of Lin Langjun and Bai Rui.
He first looked at Mr. Lin, but without the domineering look as before.
But there was still a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"What are you guys arguing about in my yard?"
After Zhu Zhengjun finished speaking, his eyes fell on Bai Rui.
Seeing Zhu Zhengjun appear, Bai Rui felt even more relieved.
As long as Zhu Zhengjun appears, the child will not be beaten.
Bai Rui hurriedly said to Zhu Zhengjun, "Zhengjun, Mr. Lin wanted to punish this innocent child just now. I really couldn't bear to see a child being punished, so I couldn't help but stop him."
"Please, Mr. Zheng, save this child. We can't just watch him get beaten. He's still so young."
The boy was wearing ordinary light blue clothes and had a childish and cute face.
He was staring at them cautiously with eyes wide open, looking so innocent that it was indescribable.
Whenever someone looked at him, he would lower his head and look very embarrassed.
Zhu Zhengjun withdrew his gaze calmly and sighed, "Mr. Lin, Rui'er is right. He is just a servant. Why are you so angry? It's really lowering your status."
"Rui'er has just recovered and woken up. We should still consider her more. How can we let the child kneel on the ground like this?"
He stepped forward and personally helped Bai Rui up.
As the boy was pushed to the ground, she rushed over to protect him in a hurry, naturally kneeling on the ground.
Although Zhu Zhengjun appears lazy and charming on weekdays, he has a faint cold fragrance.
Bai Rui obediently followed his strength and stood up, but at this moment Lin Langjun rushed forward.
Unlike the gentle Zhu Zhengjun, he pulled Bai Rui forcefully.
But Bai Rui dodged and hid behind Zhu Zhengjun.
Zhu Zhengjun was stunned at first, then a smug smile appeared on his face and he stared at Lin Langjun provocatively.
"Mr. Lin, even though Rui'er is your daughter, I am her nominal father."
"This boy is from my yard. If you want to control the people in my yard, I'm afraid your hand is too long."
"As the saying goes, you should look at the owner before you beat the dog. You are too overbearing. You are showing off your power in the wrong place."
Lin Langjun was annoyed by the provocation, and his hand hanging in the air clenched into a fist awkwardly.
Ever since Bai Rui's marriage was decided.
Everything is going wrong for me, as if everyone is against me.
There was an even colder look on Lin Langjun's handsome face.
But he did not attack Zhu Zhengjun, his eyes were fixed on Bai Rui.
"Rui'er, come back with me quickly and stop making trouble. As long as you apologize to me sincerely, I won't be angry with you anymore."
"But if you insist on doing this, your father will no longer care about you."
If it were the old Bai Rui, she would have definitely cried and thrown herself on Mr. Lin.
She is closest to her father.
But now Bai Rui can only be on guard.
Since she traveled back through time, no one has hurt her.
Only Mr. Lin overreacted again and again.
Bai Rui pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Father? What kind of father are you? You are just a man in the mansion. I am Rui'er's nominal father."
Zhu Zhengjun snorted, "I haven't even settled the score with you for not taking good care of Rui'er and causing her to fall into the water. Now you dare to act like a father to Rui'er?"
