Xiao An: "..." That doesn't seem wrong either.
This is really giving me a headache. "Great-Grandpa, you should go back to your room to rest. Let me help you in."
"It's time to eat. I'll go to sleep after I finish eating." Sometimes the old man is very lucid, but even when he is lucid, he still can't tell who Junsong and Xiaoan are.
Dinner was a family meal, the entire Bai family, including Bai Zhengping's eldest and second daughters, who are Bai Junsong's two younger sisters. However, only the two of them came back; their husbands and children did not come.
Bai Zhengping's eldest daughter, Bai Xinru, looked down on everyone from the moment she entered, with an expression that said, "You're all country bumpkins, you're not worthy to talk to me."
The second daughter is named Bai Xinyu. She looks gentle and speaks softly, but her smile is faint, giving people an unspoken sense of distance.
Well, neither of Xiao An's two aunts are easy to get along with. Luckily, they're both married off, otherwise living with two people like that every day would be exhausting.
Before they even started eating, everyone was already sitting in the living room. If Bai Xinru and Bai Xinyu had a choice, they definitely wouldn't have stayed with Lin Xiazhu and the others. It was only because Bai Zhengping and Grandpa Bai were there that they couldn't find an excuse to leave.
Bai Zhengping introduced everyone to each other, mainly introducing Xiao An to his two aunts; the others were just casual acquaintances.
“He does look a lot like Big Brother, but unfortunately he grew up in the countryside, so I’m afraid it will be difficult for him to integrate into our circle,” Bai Xinru said condescendingly, raising her chin.
"Bang!" Bai Zhengping slammed down his teacup, his tone stern. "Your circle? What kind of circle are you? Without the Bai family as your backing, what do you think you are?"
His eldest daughter was spoiled by his wife. She didn't know how to speak tactfully, was arrogant and domineering, and always offended people. It was fine normally, but she couldn't put on airs in front of Xiao An.
“From now on, the Bai family and Songbai Group will both rely on Xiao An to support them. If you want to continue living such a carefree and high-class life, you need to know how to please him so that he will take better care of you in the future.” Bai Zhengping said without batting an eye, as if that day had already come.
Bai Xinru: "..." She had been married off long ago. Although her husband's family was not as prominent as the Bai family, it was still one of the top wealthy families in the capital. Why did she have to rely on this country boy for support?
Dad's really getting senile.
Bai Xinyu: "..." Dad's words are so disrespectful. With so many outsiders around, he still makes such harsh remarks. Xiao An is just a teenager who has never been in high society and doesn't understand anything.
Her father's words clearly indicated that he intended to personally teach and train her to become the future leader of the Bai family. If they dared to neglect Xiao An, the Bai family would no longer support them.
It's fine now that everything is peaceful, but if one day there's a falling out with the husband's family, without the support of the wife's family, then she'll be isolated and helpless, and only have the chance to be bullied.
Bai Xinyu's mind raced as she looked at her fourth brother, who hadn't spoken a word, and asked, "Junbai, are you really planning not to get married? Will you hand over Songbai Group to Xiao An to manage in the future?"
"Second sister, you don't need to worry about me. I have no objection to whatever Dad says. After all, I am so outstanding that I can still make a name for myself even if I start from scratch. Only those who are incompetent are afraid of being abandoned by their families." Bai Junbai exuded a lazy air of 'I'm not afraid of anything' as he leisurely leaned back on the sofa.
"Fourth brother has such good soul power." Bai Xinyu smiled gently, her face calm and composed, but her heart was churning with anger, and she cursed Bai Junbai mercilessly.
Here we go again, subtly criticizing her. Do you think you'd die if you didn't provoke her every time?
“Dad, Xiao An has only been back for a few days, and you’ve already made a hasty decision. What if he doesn’t have the ability? Wouldn’t that be embarrassing for you? I think you should think about it for a few more days and then we can discuss it together. It’s such a big deal…” Bai Xinru continued speaking as if she couldn’t see Bai Zhengping’s unpleasant expression.
"Alright, today is for the two older sisters to come back for dinner, so everyone can meet and get to know each other. This isn't the time to discuss family matters, so let's all keep quiet," Bai Junbai interrupted the eldest sister.
If you keep talking, he's going to flip the table. There are outsiders here. How come these people, who are usually so composed, suddenly lose their temper and start arguing? Don't they care about their reputation?
Lin Xiazhu felt quite embarrassed. Was Old Master Bai treating them too much like family, actually discussing family matters in front of them? And Xiao An's two aunts seemed a bit dim-witted.
Of course, there is another possibility: that the two of them were too shrewd and arrogant, saying whatever they wanted in front of these country folk and not taking them seriously at all.
They probably think that no matter what they say, the other person won't understand.
Everyone else, including Yan Xin, kept their heads down and remained silent, silently serving as background figures.
Xiao An remained calm and unresponsive throughout, completely detached from the situation.
After finishing their meal, Bai Xinru and Bai Xinyu left quickly. As soon as they left, the atmosphere in the Bai family improved, and Lin Chacha and the others dared to speak loudly again.
"I'm so annoyed! Xiao An's two aunts are like those wicked women in TV dramas who try to stop their sons from marrying poor girls. The older aunt looks at us like we're trash, as if getting close to us would pollute her." Lin Chacha frowned, very unhappy.
"I don't like them. They talk in a sarcastic and sarcastic way." Lin Taozi nodded in agreement with her second sister.
"But they have the confidence and the means to be arrogant because of their status. They have money and position." Lin Xiaoxue muttered to herself. She didn't think there was anything wrong with Bai Xinru and Bai Xinyu's attitude; it was just that their status and positions were different.
