âThereâs one more thing?â Old Master Bai couldnât think of what it was, so he frowned. âWhatâs the other thing?â
âIâm sorry, Old Master Bai, I want to take up some of your time as thereâs something that I need to talk to you.â Helian Qingchen smiled. âBefore this, I really want to ask you why you are so sure that the things I gave to Ajiu are worthless?â
Master Gu couldnât sit still at this time. Leaning on the dragon-headed walking stick in his hand, he looked at his granddaughter worriedly.
Fortunately, Gu Rou reacted quickly. A moment ago, her fingers were still tightly clenched, and now she revealed a gentle and moving smile. As her long dress swayed like an angel, her face was also suffused with sincerity. âYou have misunderstood me. I didnât mean that. Ajiu just told us that she wanted to give her little brother a lighter, so I also thought that you gave her these small things. After all, sheâs still a child and doesnât have much money.â
Speaking up to this point, her beautiful eyes looked at Ajiu. âSay something on behalf of sister Rou. Didnât you just say that you wanted to give your little brother a lighter? If you donât say anything, your friend will misunderstand sister Rou.â
âMisunderstand?â
Without waiting for anyone to react, Baili Shangxieâs figure suddenly moved, and the corners of his mouth curled into a vicious smile. He lowered his eyes to look at Gu Rou, and the word âbloodthirstyâ was clearly written on his handsome face. âI think the person who misunderstands is you. Who told you that Ajiu doesnât have much money?â
Looking at his expression, Gu Rou was immediately shocked, but she bit her thin lips. That forbearing look made peopleâs hearts ache. âForget it, since Ajiu doesnât want to say it, then I can only defend myself a little. In fact, Ajiu isnât a member of the Bai Family.â
Once Gu Rou said this sentence.
Everyoneâs reaction was different.
Especially Bai Zhun.
As he shot a sharp gaze at Gu Rou, his voice was extremely cold. âWho says Ajiu isnât a member of the Bai Family!â
âBai Zhun.âGu Rouâs long dress swayed, she looked very aggrieved. âThings have come to this point. Do you still want to ignore Ajiuâs thoughts?â? She had actually always treated herself as an outsider, so she spent money carefully. After all, she came from the mountains. Entering a family like the Bai Family, from a certain perspective, might be a burden for her. She should be suitable for a simpler and more free living environment. Perhaps that environment is a little bitter and poor, but that is what is suitable for her.â
When Helian Qingchen heard this, he laughed coldly. âYou keep saying that you mean that Ajiuâs background is not good and she canât afford expensive things?â
âI donât want to specifically emphasize this point.â Gu Rou lowered her head. âI donât want to expose Ajiuâs matter in public, but if I donât say it, Ajiu wonât speak either, and the misunderstanding will continue to exist.â
Gu Rou, who said these words, was like a helpless narrator.
After hearing her words, almost everyone would decide that the gift given by Ajiu was worthless and had nothing to do with her. It was all because of Ajiuâs background..
However, the issue was not that simple.
âIt seems that there is indeed a misunderstanding.â
These words werenât uttered by Helian Qingchen. When the voice rang clear, it was accompanied by the sound of a motorcycle.
Therefore, in that instant, people subconsciously turned their heads back to look for the source of the sound.
At the entrance, the mottled light faded away. A delicate and handsome figure walked in and gradually revealed that incomparably clear face. Her long chestnut-colored curly hair fell to her waist. Her left hand was still holding a pure black helmet. Behind her was a locomotive in full swing.
There was still a person standing by the side of the locomotive, which was different from Helian Weiweiâs heroic bearing.
His existence seemed to prove what was called the blood-sucking style of nobility.
His handsomeness was self-evident.
That man was almost able to produce light by himself. His head of silver-gray hair, coupled with a face that couldnât be seen at all, and the smooth curve outlined by his chin, was so noble that it was almost bewitching.
Even his fingers werenât clean enough. They were wrapped in pure black gloves along the lines. It really made people think of the young master Yan Ru Yu that people in ancient times said when describing the descendants of aristocratic families.
Who else could such a man be if it wasnât Baili Jiajue?
Two people who were reputed to be the most compatible walked to the center of the hall just like that and stood on the left and right sides of Ajiu.
The scene immediately stirred up an uproar.
Almost everyone looked at them as if they were looking at a god in their hearts.
If Baili Jiajue hadnât been living in seclusion all these years.
Who would take the Gu family in the business circle seriously?
The Jue Wei Group was always a miracle in the business world.
Even if its protagonist didnât appear.
It still stood there, symbolizing the top of the pyramid.
In fact, the influence of the Baili Family had never been weak, they just hid it well.
âOh my God, thatâs the founder of the Jue Wei Group, right? I didnât expect that even he would come!â
âThe Bai family is really amazing. I heard that President Jue always attended such banquets.â
âAnd his wife, they are also unfathomable. What kind of wind has brought them all here?â
As the people in the hall were discussing, they got were extremely excited.
After Bai Zhun saw Baili Jiajueâs face, his pitch-black eyes immediately squinted.
Itâs him!
Was it the mysterious man he saw at the eminent Monkâs place?
As if sensing the gaze from the youth, Baili Jiajueâs eyelids fluttered, his gaze very indifferent.
Bai Zhunâs fingers clenched.
It was indeed him.
Moreover, the mysterious man still remembered him.
Bai Zhun never thought that the person he met on the mountain would be a business legend.
As for Ajiu, together with the white cat on her cat, she was completely dumbstruck.
While she blankly stared at the white cat on her head, her almond-like big round eyes were also looking at this scene in amazement.
She had never dreamed that she would see her father and mother.
Two elder brothers appearing in front of her at the same time! How could she not be happy?That was something that would only happen when she was dreaming.
But now, Ajiu raised her little face and looked at Baili Jiajue and Helian Weiwei in front of her without moving an inch.
She felt that all her beautiful dreams had come true all of a sudden.
This was too much of an excitement. What should she do now?
When Ajiu thought of this, she tilted her little head.
She really wanted to beat someone up or lie in bed and roll around twice!
It seemed that no matter how old she was, Ajiuâs way of showing her excitement were always similar. It was either beating people up or rolling around in circles. That was exactly what she was doing now.
It was just that the current situation didnât allow it. Otherwise, she would have already performed a set of Shaolin techniques on Gu Rou or circled round Helian Weiwei.
