Chapter 64
They were all still there, and it was getting late, so they were ready to go back after dinner.
The same goes for Shi Nian.
The last time he invited his classmates to dinner was at this restaurant, and the food was quite good.
Since they all knew each other, they went together.
All of them were rich people, so they casually ordered a large table and gathered around to eat while chatting.
The main topic of conversation was about what happened earlierâ¦
âHeâs really great, he slipped passed us twice now.â
âIf he wasnât great, he would not have knocked us all out.â
âSo who is it? Itâs not a big deal, but the more we donât know, the more weâre curiousâ¦.â
Shi Nian sat with Yan Huaxin, struggling with the food on the table.
He was not involved in this topic.
But Wang Haosheng, for some reason, suddenly looked over.
He had heard that personâs voice last time, and it had sounded familiar to him early on, but he couldnât think of who it was. But now, when he thought about it, his style was a bit like Shi Nianâs.
And it just so happened that on both occasions, he had been there, and he had come out late on both occasions.
âShi Nian.â He pretended not to have noticed and asked casually, âDo you like playing these games very much? Can you keep up with your physical strength? â
Yan Huaxin said, âOf course, he is not as weak as I am. He violated school rules and was told to run laps. The other guide ran five laps, but he did ten. So the teacher said, he will be doing ten laps.â
Shi Nian was speechless, âThatâs because I didnât react the first time⦠and then I repeatedly broke the school rules.â
âRepeatedly?â Lu Chengze had an expression as if saying, âsure enough.â
âWhat have you been doing?â
Shi Nian looked up at him and said, âI didnât want to wear the school uniform, whatâs wrong?â
Lui Chengze: ââ¦â¦â
âNo, itâs nothing.â Oh, it was because of this. He thought Shi Nian had done something unbelievable at school, like throwing ice water at the teacher or the headmasterâs face.
âWhat are you thinking about?â Shi Nian could see what he was thinking, âDo I look like such an unreasonable person?â
He thought he was doing a good job of respecting his teachers.
Lu Chengze: ââ¦â¦â
Wang Haosheng smiled and said, âNo way. Itâs just because you poured a glass of wine on Bai Bingyan and his wife, which was so impressive in his mind that he could not think of anything else. â
Shi Nian: ââ¦â¦â
He looked at Lu Chengze with a face that said, âI knew you had a bad brain, but I didnât think it was this bad!â
The crowd couldnât help but laugh, âChengze, youâre so soft, you canât do it!â
Lu Chengze immediately said, âNo, no, no, itâs not a question of being soft, itâs a question of whether you want to die.â
The subject was thus dropped, and Wang Haosheng could not help but feel a little regretful. But it would be too deliberate to bring it up again.
At that moment, he heard Shi Nian say, âItâs only ten laps, I could finish it in a minute. Itâs not a big deal. As long as I do not wear the school uniform, I can do another ten laps.â
âThatâs good physical strength.â Wang Haosheng immediately said, âLetâs join together next time. We wonât let you be a vase. We can show you some little tricks and teach you.â
After speaking, he looked at Shi Nian casually, but saw that the other party actually agreed.
âOkay!â Shi Nian said for a while, âbut before you go in next time, youâd better confirm whether there is that single man.â If he is there, Iâll continue alone! â
âAfter all, if there are many people together, he targets you, so itâs you get eliminated quickly.â
âThatâs true.â Lu Chengze said, âWhy didnât you pick the lone warriors? Isnât it better to always pick the soft ones first, why is he so fond of the hard ones? â
Wang Haosheng withdrew his gaze, thinking that he had been thinking too much.
It couldnât have been Shi Nian.
Even if he was physically strong as a guide, he wouldnât be that strong.
Shi Nian kept a braised lion head to himself. He tsked in his heart.
If you want to get away from him, youâll have to wait for another life!
When he was about to eat, his light brain rang, and it turned out that Lu Bo Ting had called.
Shi Nian quickly explained his whereabouts, and Lu Bo Ting said, âIâll send Adjutant Xue to pick you up later.â
Shi Nian: âOkay.â
The cousin, Yan Huaxin, was ignored: ââ¦â¦â
âTsk!â When the communication hung up, he couldnât help but say, âI am a living, breathing cousin, but he did not even say to send me off, as if he didnât see me.â
Shi Nian: âHow about I send you first?â
âGo away.â Yan Huaxin said, âI have a fiancé to do it, I donât need you.â
Shi Nian spreads his hands: âThen who was it who was sour just now?ââ¦â¦?â
At that moment, the communication rang again.
âCould it be that thereâs something left to be done?â Lu Chengze asked.
His father sometimes hangs up and calls again right away, but he canât finish it all at once â¦â¦
He saw Shi Nian staring at the string of unfamiliar light brain numbers for a while, âI donât know.. It may be that the unfilial son is calling from someone elseâs light brain.â
When Yan Huaxin heard that, he knew who it was.
It may be his cousin who is called a father. If the person is directly reduced to the position of an unfilial son, it must be Bai Bingyan.
Yan Huaxin: âAre you going to take it?â
âLet him wait for me to finish eating.â He said, ignoring the ringing , and continued to extend his chopsticks towards the braised head.
Others: ââ¦â¦â
Those who didnât understand the âunfilial sonâ argument were wondering who it was!
Later, it was quietly explained, and they immediately thought to themselves that it was no wonder. Rumors say that Shi Nianâs relationship with the Bai family was extremely poor.
But after all this, Bai Bingyan was still calling from one number to another?
This is too much of a father!
Lu Chengze: âWhen can my father be like this? He always yells at â¦â¦â
ââ¦â Shi Nian glanced at him, âWhat about my unfilial son?â
Lu Chengze immediately shook his head.
His father may be loud, but that is also a fatherly love. Shi Nianâs stepmother tried to harm him, and his father not only failed to stand up for him, but he even drove him away. Whoever wants such a father would be stupid.
After dinner, Xue Chi came to pick him up, and then Shi Nian Nian slowly connected to the call.
Bai Bingyan, on the other hand, knew by the look on the personâs face that he was furious, but he still asked him to keep dialling Shi Nian. And when it got through at first, the person didnât even respond.
It took a while before he said, âYes?â
The man said, âYes, yes, the other side picked up.â
Bai Bingyan immediately came over and looked at Shi Nian, who looked like he was obviously full of food and drink. He opened his mouth and wanted to yell out why he had only picked it up, but he held back and said, âWhy did you pick it up just now?â
The tone of his voice was much softer, with a deliberate sense of grievance.
Shi Nian: âI didnât know the number, I was afraid it was a scam call. I was going to wait for him to call a hundred times before confirming that it was really something. But after thinking about it, no one would dare to lie to me, so I answered.â
Bai Bingyan: ââ¦â¦â
This nonsense boy.
However, he thought of his fatherâs instructions and the words that the Bai family couldnât survive without Shi Nian, so he forcibly endured it and asked in a gentle tone, âWhen are you going to come home?â
Shi Nian looked at him with in amazement, and he didnât know whether to complain about his attitude, or to say that he was mentally disabled. And when did he say he was going back to Baiâs house?
âThe person you hate is no longer in the Bai family now. If you donât like Zihan, we can let him go back to the Wu family for the time being. Youâ¦
Shi Nian: âWait, go back to Wuâs house for the time being. Your cheap son will be going back temporarily. Do you want to wait until someday to bring him back? â Although he didnât plan to go back, Shi Nian was also dumbfounded by his words.
Was this really to convince him to go back or to disgust him on purpose?
âThose who donât know would think that Iâm the seed of a wild man that will be farmed at home when itâs useful, and heâs your own⦠Wait, no way! â
Shit! Once he saw Bai Bingyanâs face change, Shi Nian realized that he might have guessed correctly.
But when he thought about it, it wasnât impossible.
After all, the original owner and Bai Zihan did look quite similar, otherwise, Ji Yiqing could not have used the original owner as a substitute.
He knew it was not impossible for two people who were not related to have some resemblance, not to mention the fact that their mothers also looked a bit similar, so he had not given it much thought earlier.
But now he suddenly realized what was going on.
Shi Nian didnât care that the communication was still on and that there was Xue Chi in the front seat. He pulled out his photo and Bai Zihanâs.
Then he took a look at Bai Zihan and Bai Bingyan⦠then at the two photos, then at the person again.
âThe resemblance between the two of us seems to be inherited from our mothers, but the eyebrows are obviously not. My mother does not have the same eyebrows as the one surnamed Wu, and the shape of these eyebrows, obviously, resembles you. â¦â¦â
But the average person would not notice this small detail, and if they did, they would think it was normal for two boys not to inherit the curved moon eyebrows that are more common in women, and coincidentally, the same again.
But if one puts that fact together with Bai Bingyanâs photo: âThese eyebrows are inherited from you. Your eyebrows are shaped like this.â
When Shi Nian looked again, he couldnât find any other resemblance, and then he sighed, âBut he looks a bit more like you, but I donât look much like you, so I ended up looking better than him.â
Adjutant Xue in front had originally adjusted to manual piloting, and the aircraft was driving fine. Hearing this, he shook his hand and almost drove off the runway.
He quickly regained his composure and switched to auto-pilot.
âIs the question whether you are better looking than him?â He said, shocked.
Shi Nian looked at him and said, âIsnât it true that Iâm much better looking than Bai Zihan?â
That was true.
Xue Chi thought that if he had looked at the photo earlier, it would not have been so obvious that he looked better. After all, Bai Zihan did have the advantage in terms of dressing. But ever since he picked Shi Nian, it had been obvious. Even though Shi Nian was wearing very fancy clothes, his looks and temperament were obviously different.
When Shi Nian saw that he had nothing to say, he continued, âObviously, these two people⦠not only did my unfilial son cheat within marriage, but Bai Zihanâs mother as well, and the time she cuckolded Marshal Yue quite early!â
It didnât even take a brain to figure out that the two had hooked up at least ten years earlier than everyone knew.
âThen what did you get married for?â Shi Nian couldnât help but mutter, âWhatâs the point of marrying my mother?
Bai Bingyan, who was still on the verge of becoming angry at being discovered, immediately said, âI really liked your mother at that time, otherwise I wouldnât have married her so quickly.â
The answer was not expected, and when Shi Nian thought about the whole thing, he was sick to his stomach and wanted to vomit.
You might as well be a mere scumbag, as you were calculating from the start. You say you really like someone and marry them, but within two months you begin to have an affair with the white moonlight, someone elseâs wife, and even have a childâ¦
Is there such a method of liking someone?
At the strange look in his eyes, Bai Bingyan couldnât bear it anymore. He couldnât think of his fatherâs instructions, so he hung up the communication without thinking about it.
After hanging up, he still had to face the man whose head was bowed as if he had eaten a big melon and knew something very secret.
Bai Bingyan: â I want to die.â
Not to mention, how was he going to explain this to his own father if this went badly!
On the other hand, Shi Nian, also looked like he had finally figured it out, âItâs no wonder that Mrs. Bai has gone to jail, but Bai Zihan is still in the Bai family. I previously thought the Bai family had made some kind of agreement with the Wu family, like a marriage between two big and powerful families, each with one unpopular member.
But now I see that he is the biological child.
No wonder!
Adjutant Xue was even more shocked than he was. How could they not have thought about this for so long.
He exclaimed, âNo wonder the Yue family looked as if they would never get involved with Bai Zihan again. To be honest, we didnât really believe them.â
âThen you believed me at the time?â Shi Nian raised his eyebrows and asked.
Xue Chi said, âOf course!â
After all, someone like Shi Nian, who had a bad relationship with the Bai family, had been with his mother since he was a child, and had been wronged at that time. He was an actual victim. Even if he did go back, he would definitely be thinking about how to take advantage of the opportunity for revenge.
But Bai Zihan and Yue Xinran were different.
Back then, most of the Yue family were taken over by the Wu family, and only a small number chose to follow the younger Yue Xinran, the one whom Shi Nian had met at the Yan family banquet earlier.
Although he was only three years older than the likes of Lu Bo Ting, he was in fact the younger brother of the Marshal of the Yue family.
He was the only one left in the Yue family, and since he always had his father and brother to support him when he was young, he was not prepared to go down this path, as his mental power was not high enough, only A-rank.
Who would have thought that after his fatherâs accident, his older brother would be killed in battle and he would have to cope at the age of 12?
It was at this time that the Wu family came into the picture, and with their in-laws and Bai Zihan at their disposal, they were able to absorb most of the Yue family army.
The story of Bai Bingyan and Bai Zihanâs mother came to a head in a year, and âYue Zihanâ went straight to the Bai family and took the surname Bai.
âThe people in the hands of Yue Xing Ran are partly those who had deep feelings for the Yue family and did not want to leave in the first place. The other part was the one who made a fuss and was forced to go to the Wuâs when this happenedâ¦â
The matter was so big that Xue Chi directly turned on the communication and got through to Lu Bo Ting.
This past, Lu Bo Ting was the clearest about among the three of them.
After all, Xue Chi was young at that time, while Lu Bo Ting had been groomed as a successor since he was a child. The old marshal did not hold to the theory that children should not hear about such private matters, but he would always tell him everything that was important and then summarise it.
This was a very big deal at the time, and naturally, it was included in the scope.
After Lu Bo Ting finished explaining all this, he continued, âYue Xing Ran has always wanted to cooperate with us, but I have always had some scruples.â
This scruple is, of course, Bai Zihan.
At the same time, the feud between the Bai family and Yue Xing Ran was different. While Yue Xing Ran deserved to hate the Wu family, he did not necessarily have no feelings for Bai Zihan.
After all, they grew up together, and since he was a little older than Bai Zihan and a sentinel, he took care of him when they were young.
âOn one hand, the forgiveness of the elders towards the younger generation always comes easily. On the other hand, Bai Zihan was still young, so he couldnât make up his own mind about how to proceed with this matter, and could only follow his familyâs lead. Therefore, it is possible that Yue Xingran didnât blame him and still had unusual feelings for him. â
The two sides seemed to have no connection, but the childhood friendship and blood ties were inseparable.
The Yue family would be very passive if the Wu and Bai families played Bai Zihan as a card one day. So they have always said good things about their relationship with Yue Xinran, but they have not been too trusting.
âThe most important thing is that there are soldiers under Yue Xing Ran. Although not so many, definitely not too few. If something goes wrong with him, it will affect the big plan, so it was better not to include him in the plan from the start.â
Shi Nian nodded, âYes, unlike me. Even if Iâm alone and easy to control, even if there are some doubts about my life experience, youâre not afraid. â
Lu Bo Ting: ââ¦â
Adjutant Xue didnât have the same concentration as him, so he almost twisted his neck on the spot, âYou⦠youâ¦â
âNonsense.â Shi Nian spread his hands, âIâm not stupid.â
âOr do I really look like Iâm stupid.â
Xue Chi shook his head urgently, âNo way.â
He had even gotten a tip that Wu Chao Yi, the heir to the Wu family, had lamented why Bai Zihan was his cousin and not Shi Nian.
As they were talking, another call came in.
Shi Nian looked at it and said, âItâs that unfilial son again.â Then he picked it up, âWhatâs up?â
Bai Bingyan: ââ¦â¦â
He didnât want to call back, but he had to think about important things first. He just pretended that the previous call hadnât happened, and said directly: âDo you know that if you donât come back, you are missing something quite big? Your grandfather at home is going to train you well. You
âWhat should I say?â Shi Nian interrupted, â How about you? You have been bickering with your brother for so many years. How does the old man feel when he looks at you fools? â
Bai Bingyan: âYou know?â
âWho doesnât know about the current state of the Bai family?â He said, âNot to mention the other things, when I met with Wu Chao Yi the other day, we talked about this topic and it was obvious that he could see it clearly.â
Bai Bingyanâs face suddenly turned different shades of black, white, green, and black again.
âThe Wu family has been talking nonsense to you again?â
Shi Nian: ââ¦â¦â
How can you call that nonsense?
If it was possible, he would rather talk to Wu Chao Yi for a few minutes. After all, he was the only one with some brain cells and could speak and listen.
Unlike Bai Bingyan, who always seemed to be unable to understand what he was saying. Sometimes, when he tells him clearly and distinctly, he still treats it as if he hadnât said anything.
âDoes he think this is a love affair and is he still having this kind of fun?â Shi Nian pondered for a while and said, âWith his IQ, if there was no Bai family around, I am afraid that when he was in love, he would have had too much confidence that he couldnât understand peopleâs rejection. Maybe he thinks he is so good. â
âBoss, do you have a picture of him when he was young?â Shi Nian suddenly asked.
Lu Bo Ting looked at him, âWhat?â
âI want to take a look.â Shi Nian said, âWasnât he so handsome? Otherwise, how could my mother have been so blind to such trash? â
