Ling Rui didn't dare to fight too hard with Tang Shishi, so after diverting her attention, he hugged her and peeled an apple for her on the sofa.
Tang Shishi nestled in Ling Rui's arms, looking at Ling Rui's big and flexible hands, one holding a fruit knife, the other holding an apple, spinning a few times quickly, and after a while, stretched out her hand and pulled it, the whole The peel on the apple is completely separated in circles.She didn't expect that Ling Rui still had the unique skill to peel an apple so perfectly.
"Did you find that your husband is getting more and more handsome, which makes you fall in love more and more?" Seeing Tang Shishi staring at himself, without hiding the wonder and admiration in his eyes, Ling Rui raised an eyebrow , asked.
"It's so handsome!" Tang Shishi couldn't help saying as she saw Ling Rui dicing the peeled apples and putting them in small plates. The whole movement was agile and elegant.
Ling Rui pierced an apple with a toothpick and put it into Tang Shishi's mouth, proudly said: "You are lucky to follow me!"
Tang Shishi ate the apple, feeling sweet in her heart, but suddenly looked at Ling Rui seriously, and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, what I just said was that the apple is so handsome, don't you Misunderstand, and don't be sentimental!"
After Tang Shishi finished speaking, she showed an innocent expression to Ling Rui, as if to say, you really have a problem with your comprehension!
Ling Rui gritted his teeth, looked at the untold number of apples that he had unloaded from the plate, and then looked at Tang Shishi, who was eating apples with a toothpick, and thought bitterly: I will bear it!
Endure till night!
It's just that the wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
This day is destined to not be an ordinary day.
When Mr. Jun called Mr. Bai, the Bai family mansion was full of disputes.
Although the Shen family did not publicly acknowledge Lu Tao's identity, they accepted Wang Fengzhen to live in the Shen family's mansion. Although they lived in the West Courtyard, their status in the Shen family was not low. Mr. Shen even specially introduced them at the Shen family's family banquet. Mother and son, give their mother and son enough face.
Of course, these are not the main point. The important point is that the Shen family has proposed to the Bai family. For the second young master whom the Shen family has newly recognized, they have proposed to the Bai family, asking to marry Bai Meng!
Because of this incident, the Bai family, which was already turbulent, could no longer maintain its superficial calm this time.
"Bai Meng, what do you think?" Just as those members of the Bai family were talking about the benefits of marriage, Mr. Bai put down his teacup and looked at Bai Meng who was sitting on the side without saying a word. asked.
Bai Meng, who was named, trembled almost imperceptibly. She raised her head and glanced at old man Bai who was sitting at the top. When her eyes touched the depth of old man Bai's eyes, she quickly moved away and hung down to her side. She kept clenching her hand tightly, and her nails were deeply buried in the flesh of her palm, but she could no longer feel the pain.
Yesterday, when she received a call from her adoptive father Wu Yingda, she had already anticipated everything today. She never expected that this group of people wanted her to marry her cousin Lu Tao. Although the two were not related by blood, she and Lu Tao were like Brother and sister are the same, how can we be husband and wife?
but--
"Mengmeng, what do you think?" Sun Xiaofen sat beside Bai Ziqi, seeing Bai Meng's hard-to-make decision, asked anxiously.
The few on the side branch couldn't bear to stand by the Shen family for a long time. If the old man hadn't stopped them, they would have surrendered a long time ago. Now that the Shen family proposes a marriage, it is clearly throwing out a bait to win over Bai. How could they let go of this opportunity if they were in the same boat as them?
"Grandpa, Mom, I don't know, I..." Bai Meng bit her lip, looking at a loss.
"How can the child decide on such an important matter!" Said a man sitting opposite Bai Ziyu, this man is Bai Lan's father, and also a representative of the offshoot of the Bai family who strongly advocated marriage with the Shen family this time.
"That's right! She's still a child no matter what. In a family like ours, the marriage is not decided by the parents?" Baimei's father also said quickly.
"That's right! Girls, after all, are thin-skinned. It's not good for the child to express his opinion in person!" Bai Li's father echoed.
"Uncle, the Shen family used to have the Han family and the Xie family. Our Bai family had no place to stand in the past, but now the Han family is no longer used by the Shen family. Although the Shen family is not as good as before, if we are willing to stay here Stand in a team with them now, then in the future, the Bai family will be the number one under the Shen family, I think at this time, it is the best time to choose the Shen family, this relative, we should get married!" Bai Hui's father said, he His tone was unhurried, and his analysis was very thorough, obviously after careful consideration.
"The number one member of the Shen family?" Old Master Bai snorted coldly, glanced at the two brothers sitting beside him, and found that what they said to his four sons was meaningless, he couldn't help feeling sad and laughing at himself!
Although the Bai family has already branched out, what is the purpose of Zhouquan and the entire Bai family being busy all these years?When the critical moment came, these people couldn't bear the temptation to come out and hold back!
"Brother, I think what the children said is not unreasonable!" Bai Lan's grandfather looked at Mr. Bai and said.
"I also think this timing is the best timing! The Shen family is not as good as before, but they are still the most powerful candidates. They urgently need the help of the Bai family. If our Bai family can join forces with the Shen family at this time, we will soon Time..." Bai Hui's grandfather also said, obviously he and Bai Hui's father had the same idea, even the words were surprisingly consistent.
"When the time comes, will the Shen family fail? Will it be ruined? What's the point of the Bai family being the number one member of the Shen family?" Mr. Bai took the words of his younger brother angrily, and couldn't help the roar in his voice!These two brothers, he really protected them so well, he didn't realize until now that this is not luck!
"Impossible!" Bai Hui's grandfather said decisively after hearing what old master Bai said.
Grandpa Bai looked at Bai Hui's grandfather with burning eyes. Suddenly, Bai Hui's grandfather felt a little guilty and dodged his eyes for a while, but he only dodged for a moment, and soon met the eyes of Old Master Bai without giving in, and said It's not like the previous lack of assertiveness. In this situation, it is obvious that he has made up his mind.
Mr. Bai's heart turned cold for a moment, he knew that these people, gathered here today, are no different from a palace!The temptation of the Shen family is certainly one aspect, but there must be other reasons for letting them huddle together to coerce him, and old man Bai couldn't figure it out for a while.
Sun Xiaofen looked at Bai Meng sitting in the corner, not saying a word, and felt a little cold in her heart. Although from the moment Bai Meng took out the DNA test report to try to deceive her, she knew very well that it was a scam, but she still She is willing to give Bai Meng a chance. She asks herself that she has always been kind to Bai Meng, especially after what happened between her and Xie Quan. She has been with her these days, enlightened her, and tried her best to help her, but now it seems that it is difficult to support her after all. heart of!
Bai Ziqi looked at the coldness in Sun Xiaofen's eyes, and reached out to hold Sun Xiaofen's cold hand.
Sun Xiaofen held Bai Zizheng's hand back, feeling the warmth from her fingers, turned her head slightly, and shook her head gently at Bai Zizheng. The two of them had the same heart, but they both sighed helplessly.
"Bai Meng, grandpa will ask you again, what do you think in your heart? I can't guarantee the other children of the Bai family, but the granddaughter of my old man Bai is not used as a political victim. What's the matter, grandpa I'll take care of you, Grandpa just wants to hear what you want now! Do you like Lu Tao, do you want to marry him?" Mr. Bai ignored the troublesome people and things around him, and looked at the white man in the corner with fixed eyes. dream, asked.
When Bai Meng heard Mr. Bai's sonorous and powerful voice, her heart was not without shock. It is undeniable that at this moment, she was very moved when she heard Mr. Bai's words. , although all of them are glamorous on the outside, but in private, they have done some shady things in private, soliciting favors. Aren't you and Lu Tao bloody examples?Therefore, she is grateful to Mr. Bai in her heart!
But Bai Meng also knows that gratitude is nothing but gratitude. This is the last chance Mr. Bai gave her. As long as she shakes her head or nods, things will definitely go as Mr. Bai said, and there will be two completely different results, but At this moment, her head was as heavy as a thousand jin, and she couldn't even lift it up.She hates it!Hate yourself for being a fake!Hate myself for not being the real blood of the Bai family!Hate these people, why did they all come to oppress her!
All eyes in the living room are focused on Bai Meng, Bai Meng can't wait to become a transparent person or disappear at this moment, this feeling of being stared at by so many people is too tormented, it's like tearing her heart. The heart is fried in a hot oil pan!
"Bai Meng, you and your cousin have known each other since we were young, and you know him well..." Bai Hui's father, looking at Bai Meng who was always hesitating with his head down, couldn't help it. Open your mouth and say.
"Shut up!" Old Master Bai sneered, "Don't force her! Let her think for herself!".
Bai Hui's father shut his mouth in fright, but his eyes were full of unwillingness!
"Bai Meng, tell Grandpa the answer!" Old Master Bai looked at Bai Meng with a dignified tone, but he could clearly hear some irritability inside, obviously on the verge of breaking out.
Bai Meng was taken aback, raised her head in a daze, her eyes briefly touched Mr. Bai, and then began to wander around the people around her, but she didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, her eyes skipped over Sun Xiaofen and Mrs. Bai Zizhen's.
Sun Xiaofen and Bai Ziqi noticed Bai Meng's avoidance, and Qiqi sighed in their hearts again.This child will never be able to pass that hurdle!
"I..." Under the eyes of everyone, Bai Meng spoke in a low voice, her eyes struggling, hesitating, and it was difficult to speak.
The atmosphere in the living room reached unprecedented tension, and the phone of old man Bai rang at this critical moment.
All eyes turned to the mobile phone on old man Bai's table. Leaning on old man Bai's two brothers, when they saw the words "Old Jun" displayed on the mobile phone, their expressions all changed.
Because of this sudden phone call, Bai Meng breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.
"Old man Jun, what's the matter?" Old man Bai picked up his phone, and yelled angrily as soon as he connected the phone.
Mr. Jun, who was beaming with joy, clearly heard that something was wrong with Mr. Bai. He pulled back what he was about to blurt out, and imitated Mr. Bai's tone and shouted: "Old man Ling is here, I want to drink tea with you! Kill me by the way!" Two plates!"
"That stinky chess player, looking for abuse! Let him wait!" After finishing his sentence, Mr. Bai hung up the phone without waiting for Mr. Jun to reply, and then he stood up impatiently. When Ji Dunfu wanted to stop him, he glanced at Baimeng again and said, "I want to go out, have you made up your mind yet?"
Everyone's eyes turned to Bai Meng again. Bai Meng felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles. She squeezed her palms hard and said softly, "Grandpa, my cousin, no, the second young master of the Shen family invited me to visit today." Watching a movie, time is coming, I..."
In a word, although she didn't answer Mr. Bai's question directly, it made everyone understand her choice.
Many people breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Mr. Bai.
"Go!" Elder Bai sighed as he looked at Bai Meng, who had been hanging his head and couldn't see his expression.
Bai Meng got the amnesty, and fled like a panicked little rabbit.
"Brother, look..." Bai Hui's grandfather looked at old man Bai with questioning eyes, obviously wanting to have a definite result of the marriage.
"You guys can't wait to send my granddaughter to someone else's bed!" Mr. Bai snorted coldly, looked at his younger brother with displeasure and said, "When did our Bai family become so reduced that we need to sell our daughter?"
Bai Hui's grandfather got frustrated, and thought to himself, whoever let others fall in love with your granddaughter alone, I want to sell, but they still look down on her!
"Let them get along with each other first. The mother of the second son of the Shen family is not a good person! This Baimeng has been living away for so many years, and it was finally found. I have such a granddaughter under my knees. I don't want to have a big event in my life." Fool!" Elder Bai glanced at the thoughtful people in the living room, and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Bai Meng is the eldest lady of the Bai family, so this marriage cannot be fooled!" Bai Hui's grandfather directly misinterpreted the meaning of old master Bai, haha, and then winked at the people around him!
"That's right! That's right! It must be handled properly!" Other members of the Bai family branch also echoed, obviously wanting to confirm what old master Bai said.
