Chapter 129 She will become Lu Jingxiao's disgrace
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and were astonished to find that Zhao Wenbin had actually attacked someone his own age.
"Zhao Wencheng, you're asking for death! How dare you cause trouble at my daughter's engagement banquet! I'll cripple you!"
This name sounds like it belongs to the Zhao family, and it's also related to Zhao Wenbin.
"Ah—let go, let go."
His hand, his hand was about to break.
Old Master Bai also noticed the commotion on their side. He simply called out calmly, "Wenbin, come here. Don't lower yourself to the level of these scoundrels."
Zhao Wenbin listened to the old man. He disgustedly released the person, spat, and then walked towards the old man.
"Since Mr. Zhao doesn't like attending my banquet, please leave." Old Master Bai was standing in front of the microphone, and his muttered words were heard by everyone: "I wonder who sent the invitation. They're causing trouble on my turf, trying to bully my daughter and son-in-law, humph..."
Some young men and women suddenly found Grandpa Bai quite adorable. His grumbling... was like an old man protecting his daughter and son-in-law, and his grumbling was quite heartwarming.
The Zhao family is really annoying; look how angry Old Master Bai is.
[I suddenly find Grandpa Bai so adorable. What's wrong with him? His protective little expressions are just so cute.]
I hope my grandpa can protect me like this from now on.
......
Zhao Wenbin stood obediently beside Grandpa Bai. Grandpa Bai couldn't help but tap his leg with his cane, but it was so light that it was like a tickle.
Old Master Bai reprimanded him verbally, but there was no hint of blame: "Why bother with someone who can't even behave at a banquet? Just have them thrown out."
Zhao Wenbin nodded respectfully, agreeing with the old man's words: "I'll remember that, Dad. I'll do it that way from now on."
Old Master Bai gave a haughty snort, then turned to look at Lu Jingxiao and waved to him, "Jingxiao, you come here too."
Lu Jingxiao: "..."
I don't really want to go up there.
He still had something to say to Weiwei.
But his grandfather was watching him, so he had to deal with his grandfather's affairs first. He looked at Luo Zhiwei with tender eyes and said, "Wait for me. We'll go home together in a bit. There are some things I need to talk to you about."
Before Luo Zhiwei could respond, Lu Jingxiao went straight onto the stage and stood next to Old Master Bai.
Grandpa Bai chuckled and faced the crowd, continuing, "I mentioned two things earlier. The first has already been said, the second..."
"My youngest daughter and son-in-law's company, which is part of the Bai family's business, has been moved to China starting today and has entered into a strategic partnership with the Lu Group..."
This collaboration was agreed upon long ago. Although there was some family connection, his son-in-law secured the project from Lu Jingxiao based on his own merits. He was quite pleased about that.
Zhao Wenbin and Lu Jingxiao shook hands, and Lu Jingxiao said briefly, "The Bai Group and the Lu Group have always been one family. I hope we can make progress together in the future..."
Zhao Wencheng stood in the corner, looking at Zhao Wenbin with a deathly pale face.
Why didn't I kill you back then? Now not only are you back, but you've also gotten involved with the Lu family.
You slut, you slut!
Zhao Wenbin glanced at Zhao Wencheng, whose face was bruised and swollen from the beating he had given him, with a provocative and smug look on his face.
You can bully and humiliate me, but if you touch my wife and daughter, I'll come back and kill you!
The Bai family's main businesses are all in the US, and it seems they're bringing them all back. With the cooperation from the Lu family, the Bai family won't suffer any losses even if they return; they might even rise to a higher level.
Zhao Wenbin used to be the least favored son in the Zhao family, but now he's actually the most successful one. The Zhao family must be regretting it terribly.
Zhao Wenbin and the Zhao family are irreconcilable enemies. They've been abroad for twenty years, and now that they're back, it's likely that another bloody storm is brewing in Beijing's social circles.
......
With the Bai and Lu families joining forces, I wonder if we can manage to squeeze a little something out of them.
I heard that their collaboration this time involves an astronomical sum, and the Lu family just reached a cooperation agreement with the Luo family as well. This shows how terrifyingly powerful the Lu family is.
[Heh, all I know is that someone's going to be finished.]
Old Master Bai gave a meaningful look to the Zhao family members in the corner. He was here today to support his son-in-law.
He wanted to see who would dare to make things difficult for the Bai family in the future.
Before his beloved granddaughter returned to China, his daughter and granddaughter were almost killed by the Zhao family. He had endured this grudge for so long, and today he finally got his revenge. From today onwards, the Zhao family will only have death to live on.
Old Master Bai was thinking about revenge, and Zhao Wenbin was also preoccupied with avenging his wife.
Only Luo Zhiwei stared blankly at Lu Jingxiao on the stage, her eyes seemingly containing the stars and the sea, her gaze burning, as if the whole world consisted only of her and Lu Jingxiao.
Look, Lu Jingxiao should stand in the spotlight and enjoy the adoration of thousands. She can be one of those thousands, but she can never be someone by his side, or she will become his disgrace for the rest of his life.

After Bai Yuxin and Chris's engagement party ended, what followed was some business stuff between the elders... so she didn't get involved.
She pulled Chris along and walked over to Luo Zhiwei and Gu Youran, tilting her head playfully and speaking in a soft, sweet voice: "Sister Luo, Sister Youran, this is my fiancé. We didn't formally introduce him last time we met, so I'll introduce you to him today."
Bai Yuxin introduced Chris: "This is Sister Luo, Luo Zhiwei, the current president of Luo's Group." She then pointed to Gu Youran: "This is Sister Youran, Gu Youran, she's her own boss, Xingyao Company belongs to Sister Youran."
"Let me tell you, my best friends since I came back to China are Sister Luo and Sister Youran. They are my sisters, so they are your sisters too, remember that?"
After Bai Yuxin whispered something in Chris's ear, Chris's expression instantly softened, and his gaze towards Luo Zhiwei became even more affectionate.
"Hello, Miss Luo. Hello, Miss Gu."
Chris exudes an air of nobility, a kingly aura unlike Lu Jingxiao's, an aura he was born with.
"I will be stationed in China regularly in the future, so please feel free to ask if you need anything."
There's a Chinese saying, "love me, love my dog." He loves Bai Yuxin, and she's Bai Yuxin's friend, so what's wrong with him showing her some care?
Bai Yuxin suddenly remembered something she hadn't explained to Luo Zhiwei and the others yet.
"Oh right, Sister Luo, Sister Youran, my real name isn't Bai Yuxin. No, that's not right. I do have another name, but I've been using the name Bai Yuxin for over twenty years, and I'm used to people calling me that."
Gu Youran was taken aback: "Your name isn't Bai Yuxin?"
"Yes, my real name is a bit complicated. It's my father's mother's name, which is my grandmother's name. As the only granddaughter in the family, I have to inherit her surname. However, I have a Chinese ID card. In the US, I only publicly revealed it at the family elders' meeting. Over there, I use a foreign name."
That name doesn't really serve any purpose, but it can be intimidating.
Chris was quite proud; he was fortunate to have married the Anderson family's only little princess.
Gu Youran: "It seems really impressive."
“I think so too,” Luo Zhiwei agreed.
