Chapter 235 The calm before the storm (4)
Ning Yuechen rolled his eyes at her silently and lost all desire to continue chatting with her.
Bai Yi naturally sensed her emotions and didn't want to upset her at this time, so he changed the subject: "Let's stay in Hong Kong until the third year of junior high school, and then go out for a trip. We've been together for such a long time, but we've never gone out to play together."
Ning Yuechen naturally didn't want to go, but he could only ask: "Where to?"
"Do you have a city you want to visit? Either in China or abroad."
"It's up to you to decide. I'm fine with it."
Seeing that she didn't seem to be interested, Bai Yi was silent for a few seconds and asked, "How about Kirishima? We can go there to see the Northern Lights at this time."
"That's fine, you can arrange it."
Ning Yuechen felt a little sleepy: "I'm going to sleep first, wake me up when we get there."
Bai Yi took a thick cashmere blanket and covered her with it: "Do you want to sleep on the bed?"
Ning Yuechen pulled the blanket up a little: "No, we'll be there in more than an hour."
"it is good."
An hour later, the private plane arrived at the destination, and the two got into the private car sent by the Bai family as soon as they left the airport.
Just as the vehicle was about to enter the old house scenic area located in the most prosperous area of Hong Kong, Bai Yi looked at the person next to him again. The other person was concentrating on admiring the courtyard scenery outside the window.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that Ning Yuechen's attitude was a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
Maybe I cared too much about this parent-teacher meeting, so I was a little worried.
The private car finally stopped in front of the majestic old house. Ning Yuechen looked through the car window at the old man who just walked out of the main hall, with a cold light in the corner of his eyes.
Bai Fuci looked at the girl who got off the car with a bad face. After noticing the obvious provocation in her eyes, he became even more angry.
Bai Yi took Ning Yuechen's hand and walked forward: "Grandpa, Happy New Year."
"Today is our family reunion day. Why did you bring a stranger here? Are you trying to piss me off during the New Year?"
Ning Yuechen raised his lips slightly: "Grandpa, I am Yiyi's fiancée, so I am half a member of the Bai family. It is not against the rules to accompany her to our house to celebrate the New Year."
Bai Fuci's pair of sharp eyes, full of vicissitudes, showed anger: "Who allowed you to get married? As long as her grandmother and I are still alive, you will never be able to enter the door of our Bai family!"
"is it?"
Ning Yuechen said these two words lightly, with a casual attitude: "When your youngest son forced a decent woman to marry, you, as an elder, did not step up to fulfill your parental duties and properly discipline your own child. What? Since you can't discipline your son, you can only show off your authority in front of your granddaughter?"
Bai Fuci was so angry at her words that his face turned pale. He covered his chest with his right hand and uttered a few words with trembling lips: "Get out."
"Grandpa, I came to wish you a happy new year today. Isn't it inappropriate for you to treat a younger generation in this way?"
"I don't need you to wish me a happy new year. We in the Bai family don't welcome you."
Ning Yuechen smiled brightly: "What a pity, I am destined to be with your granddaughter."
"You~"
Bai Fuci was so angry at her blatant provocation that she almost had a heart attack. She turned to look at her granddaughter who was silent and had a complicated expression on her face, and felt even more disappointed in her.
He asked in a deep voice: "Yiyi, this is the person you like. She has no manners at all. She talks to her elders like this on New Year's Day. You let her do this recklessly. Do you still respect me as your grandfather?!"
Bai Yi was about to speak when he was interrupted by Ning Yuechen: "Grandpa, Yiyi and I are truly in love. It doesn't matter if you have a problem with me, just don't make things difficult for her."
"I'm talking to my granddaughter. What do you want?"
Ning Yuechen raised her pretty eyebrows slightly: "Of course it has something to do with me. She is my girlfriend and my future wife. According to the rules of the Bai family, I, your granddaughter-in-law, must come to visit you every year at this time."
"You~"
Bai Fuci was so angry at her that he was speechless.
In this tense atmosphere, a calm and oppressive man's voice sounded: "Miss Ning, no matter what your identity is, we welcome you to our home today. But grandpa is your elder after all, so you still have to maintain basic courtesy."
Ning Yuechen looked at Bai Tunan who walked out of the house, not afraid of his strong and majestic aura at all.
A sarcastic counterattack; "Brother Tunan, there is an old Chinese saying that there is a distinction between the noble and the humble, and between the old and the young. If my humble concession is met with endless prejudice and contempt. As a junior, I don't think there is anything wrong with me."
Bai Tunan remained calm in the face of her unyielding attitude and just said, "It's cold outside, let's go in and talk if you have anything to say."
Bai Fuci snorted coldly, turned around and walked into the house with the support of his personal butler.
Bai Tunan looked at his cousin who had remained silent, and spoke again in a gentler tone: "Yiyi, are you tired? Come in and have a rest."
Bai Yi forced a smile: "Okay, let's go in now."
"Ah."
Bai Tunan silently observed her expression, then glanced at the person next to her calmly, then turned and went into the house.
At this moment, there were only two of them outside the house. Bai Yi turned his head to look at his girlfriend who was looking around, with a look of difficulty between his eyebrows: "Baby, I'm sorry, I still made you feel wronged."
Ning Yuechen replied indifferently: "I thought you would accuse me of disrespecting my elders."
Bai Yi shook his head: "They are my family, and you have suffered all these grievances because of me. All the fault is mine. I did not communicate this issue with them in advance."
"I'm glad you think so."
Ning Yuechen said as he held her hand again: "Although I have met these relatives of yours before, this is my first time coming to the old house. I have never met some of them. Take this opportunity to introduce me to them."
"it is good."
The two walked into the hall hand in hand. At this time, there were already many people gathered inside. Some were in the lounge area, some were in the open tea room, and some were playing billiards in the separate entertainment area. Without exception, they were all members of the Bai family.
Ning Yuechen can figure out which ones are direct relatives and which ones are collateral relatives based on their body language and aura.
Seeing them come in, almost everyone stopped talking or playing temporarily, and greeted Bai Yi with a smile, while automatically ignoring themselves beside her.
But this is also the result Ning Yuechen wanted. After all, she was too lazy to deal with this group of boring people.
From these people's friendly or flattering attitudes towards Bai Yi, it can be seen that this person has indeed been very close to the family over the years, and has established his position in the family with his own strength.
This scene is probably not what Bai Jingyuan wanted to see.
Ning Yuechen looked at the people who had already started chatting with the elders, and thought that Bai Jingyuan chose to develop in the mainland because he did not want to be involved in the Bai family's underworld forces and at the same time did not want to compete with his most beloved eldest brother for the position of heir.
Because of this, how could he hope that his only daughter would get close to his family?
However, he did not interfere in the business dealings between Bai Yi and his family over the years. It was unknown whether he was really unaware, or because he felt guilty, or because he really could not do anything about it, so he simply chose to accept it.
