It's unclear whether it was to deliberately annoy her father or to make Chu Mo feel more comfortable in this unfamiliar environment.
The usually shy Shu Xiaoya boldly took his arm after entering the Bai family compound.
Shu Junhe was annoyed and frustrated by what he saw, but there was nothing he could do. Bai Wanrou, on the other hand, pretended not to see anything.
When the group arrived at the Bai family's reception hall, it was already full of people.
At the very head of the table was an elderly man with white hair, about seventy years old, dressed in a Tang suit.
With an aged face and dignified demeanor, his eyes, filled with wisdom after years of experience, were now looking at Chu Mo with a friendly expression.
To his left sat a middle-aged man with a commanding presence and handsome features, who bore a striking resemblance to Bai Wanrou.
Without needing to guess, Chu Mo already roughly knew his identity; he must be Xiao Ya's second uncle.
On the other side were two elegant middle-aged women, both with gentle smiles.
Upon seeing the group enter, everyone except the old man stood up.
Bai Wanrou quickly led him to the white-haired old man and introduced him:
"Dad, this is Xiaoya's boyfriend, Chu Mo. Xiao Mo, this is Xiaoya's maternal grandfather."
"Chu Mo greets the old master. May you enjoy good health, longevity, and all the best."
Chu Mo hurriedly stepped forward, bowed slightly to the old man, and spoke respectfully.
"Okay, I heard Xiaoya found a really great boyfriend. I've been wanting to meet him for a while now. He's indeed a handsome man, haha..."
The old man seemed very satisfied with him, his aged face filled with a kind smile.
"Once you're here, make yourself at home and don't feel awkward."
Chu Mo nodded repeatedly, and Bai Wanrou then introduced the other people to him.
The middle-aged man was indeed Xiaoya's second uncle, Bai Juzheng, and the beautiful woman in the white dress was his wife, Zhao Yuexin.
As for the dignified lady in the cheongsam, she was Xiaoya's aunt, Lin Rong.
At this moment, the gaze directed at Chu Mo was filled with undisguised warmth and admiration.
"Xiao Mo is indeed extraordinary, a dragon among men, and he and Xiao Ya are a perfect match."
Zhao Yuexin, who was standing to the side, smiled and nodded in agreement.
For a moment, the living room was filled with laughter and a harmonious atmosphere.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Bai Wanrou introduced Chu Mo to the other young men and women present.
The three men and two women, each with an extraordinary air about them, were none other than Shu Xiaoya's cousins.
Chu Mo greeted him with a smile and a nod, striking a perfect balance between being neither overly enthusiastic nor overly insincere.
These young people were clearly already familiar with Chu Mo's name.
Therefore, all the gazes directed at him were filled with curiosity and politeness.
Although the other party was of the same generation as them, in terms of status and position, they were already on par with their fathers.
He is a legendary figure in their circle of second-generation rich kids.
Starting from scratch, he founded Kunlun Xianniang Company, a future giant, in a short period of time.
It is said that even the Chinese government values and takes good care of him.
As the most outstanding young man among the third generation of the Bai family, Bai Wenxuan clearly had a deeper understanding of Chu Mo.
His grandfather's attitude towards him alone is enough to explain everything.
The other party wasn't even engaged to my cousin yet, but for our first meeting, he called all the main members of his family back early to wait.
If it weren't for my uncle's job in another province and the tight schedule, he probably would have had to come back.
The level of importance attached to this is evident.
Even provincial and ministerial-level leaders would never receive this kind of treatment.
At this moment, Chu Mo was dealing with Old Master Bai's questions.
First, I talked about the company's general situation, and then about my family situation.
However, the old man didn't ask in great detail. After asking, he offered a few words of encouragement and stopped there, without making Chu Mo feel embarrassed at all.
Soon, a sumptuous meal was served, and a large group of people gathered around the table, enjoying a harmonious atmosphere.
After a hearty meal and drinks.
Old Master Bai then smiled and instructed Bai Wenxuan:
"Wenxuan, you two take Xiaomo and Xiaoya for a stroll in the garden to familiarize them with the house. Your uncle and I have a few things to discuss."
After speaking, he smiled and nodded at Chu Mo, his attitude amiable.
Chu Mo smiled wryly to himself, knowing perfectly well what they wanted to discuss.
But he didn't say much, and was led by the arm of Shu Xiaoya towards the back garden.
After everyone left, Old Master Bai got up and led Mr. and Mrs. Shu Junhe, as well as Bai Juzheng, to the study.
After sitting down, Bai Juzheng solemnly reported:
"Dad, I've already investigated that girl. Her name is Liu Ruyan, she's from Shaanxi Province, comes from a poor family, and is currently a student at Kyoto University."
"She met Xiao Mo in Nanhua, and the two were in a romantic relationship."
Upon hearing this, Shu Junhe's anger flared, and he said with a grim expression:
"Since that's the case, just tell Xiaoya about it and let them break up. What else is there to discuss?"
Bai Juzheng glanced helplessly at his brother-in-law, his expression turning serious.
"Just yesterday, a major event occurred in Kyoto: the head of the Wang family was beaten to death in public."
Shu Junhe and his wife were immediately taken aback, their eyes filled with shock.
"The head of the Wang family was beaten to death? Who did it?"
Then Shu Junhe looked at his brother-in-law with disbelief and said uncertainly:
"Could this matter be somehow connected to Chu Mo?"
"That's right! He's the one who killed Wang Shaobao. Not only that, he also broke his son's bones and had him hospitalized."
Bai Juzheng nodded slightly.
"How could this be? Although Xiao... Chu Mo is a womanizer, he's still quite steady in his actions. How could he do such a thing?"
