When Old Master Bai arrived at the main residence of the Shen family, Old Master Shen was already waiting for him inside.
"Hey, Lao Bai's here! Come on, have a seat!"
When Grandpa Shen saw Grandpa Bai, he immediately stood up with a big smile and greeted him warmly.
The Shen family had informants in the Beijing base, so he knew about the incident almost immediately after it happened.
He didn't think his granddaughter-in-law had done anything wrong at all; on the contrary, he praised her.
That's how domineering the Shen family should be.
Besides, if Bai Zeyi hadn't been so rude and provocative, his reasonable granddaughter-in-law would never have slapped him across the face!
In his opinion, Bai Zeyi deserved a beating, and that old man Bai was truly shameless!
Bai Zeyi, a grown man, was beaten by his granddaughter-in-law, a delicate girl, and not only was he not ashamed, he even dared to brazenly come to her door.
The blow was too light!
Old Master Shen's mind was racing, but his face was beaming with joy.
Old Master Bai could tell Shen's attitude towards this matter just by looking at Old Master Shen's fake smile.
However, he had anticipated this outcome before coming, so it wasn't unexpected.
"Lately, I keep thinking about the days when we were young."
Old Master Bai sat down and began to reminisce about the past.
When Grandpa Shen heard him mention this, the smile on his face faded a little.
"Have you thought it through?"
He interrupted Old Master Bai directly.
Old Master Shen didn't explicitly state his meaning, but Old Master Bai understood.
“There should have been seven families,” said Old Master Bai.
"Aren't you afraid that your ancestors, the Bai family's forefathers, will be so angry they'd come back to life if they heard this?!"
Old Master Shen picked up the tea beside him, took a sip, and his half-closed eyes were filled with a cold light.
"Ha, if your Shen family isn't afraid, what is my Bai family afraid of?"
Back then, the Shen family promised to lead the five families together, to treat them equally, and not to favor any one family.
"But now you only have the Qiao family and the Luo family in your eyes, have you ever thought about the other three families?"
Old Master Bai came here today with the intention of completely breaking off relations.
The Shen family has repeatedly humiliated the Bai family. If he continues to tolerate this, the Bai family will likely become a laughingstock in Beijing.
Moreover, the Bi family had just given them the news in the middle of the night.
Given the Shen family's recent attitude, they were worried that the Shen family would soon take action against the Bai and Lin families.
In order to preserve the strength of the Bai and Lin families, they will create chaos in the near future, so that the Bai and Lin families can take the opportunity to relocate and leave the capital.
Therefore, even without today's incident, he and the Lin family would have found a way to clash with the Shen family.
The reason why the Bai and Lin families left the capital must be attributed to the Shen family.
The Bi family said they needed people's hearts, survivors to join them, and a large number of test subjects.
The Shen family, which can harm and abandon even its own brothers who have been bound by blood for thousands of years, how could they possibly genuinely protect the survivors?
At that time, there will surely be survivors who will seek refuge with them.
"We must always find a way out for ourselves."
Old Master Bai looked at Old Master Shen, his eyes filled with both openness and a hint of grief and indignation.
It seems that he is truly suffering because of the Shen family's favoritism.
"A way out?"
The steam from the tea made Old Master Shen's face somewhat blurry, and even his voice sounded faint.
"Old man Bai, there's no need for such high-sounding words between us, and no need for you to put on an act in front of me."
I'll just tell you one thing: if things remain peaceful and orderly, the Bai family still has a reason to exist; otherwise—
I wouldn't mind reducing the number of companies in Beijing from six to four...
Old Master Bai gave Old Master Shen a deep look, then suddenly chuckled and got up to leave.
Old Master Shen did not stop him, but simply watched Old Master Bai's back indifferently.
As soon as he stepped outside, Grandpa Bai saw Shen Nanxing and Jiang Nian'an walking side by side.
Shen Nanxing didn't even look at him, and directly put his arm around Jiang Nian'an and went inside.
Before entering, Jiang Nian'an glanced back at Old Master Bai, only to meet his eyes, which were as cold and venomous as a snake's.
Grandpa Bai didn't expect her to suddenly turn around and look, but he didn't hide his expression. He snorted coldly and left.
Neuropathy!
Jiang Nian'an cursed inwardly and decided to go and take all the supplies from his house!
On the other side, Shen Nanxing and Old Master Shen had already started talking.
Was Jiu Fangmo's sudden death back then because she was involved with the Bi family?
Shen Nanxing asked Old Master Shen directly.
"Huh? How did you know?"
Old Master Shen was taken aback, clearly surprised.
Shen Nanxing didn't hide anything from him and told him what he had heard from Jiu Fang's warehouse.
"So that's how it is. No wonder Old Man Jiufang only revealed a little bit of information back then."
"What did he say back then?" Shen Nanxing asked.
"It is said that Xiao Mo met someone while she was out. She was at the age of just beginning to fall in love. The other person was tall and handsome, and she fell for him."
But as you know, a family like ours wouldn't let our child just like someone whose background we don't know. So the Jiu Fang family immediately investigated the other party.
According to the information they found, the person was not a member of the Bi family, but they were related to them in some way.
Grandpa Jiufang immediately ordered Xiaomo to break up with the other party and locked her at home, cutting off her contact with the outside world.
Then, we suddenly received news of her death. The old man Jiu Fang gave us the reason that she committed suicide because of love.
Looking back now, it must have been an accident during production.
Old Master Shen stroked his teacup, and his last sentence seemed to be a soliloquy.
"That Jiu Fangyun seems to have a lot of grievances against the Bi family, and Old Master Jiu Fang and the others seem to care a lot about him..."
We might be able to make use of this.
Shen Nanxing looked at Old Master Shen and said.
"You handle this yourself. I'm old; I need to enjoy my retirement to live a long life. I don't want to get involved in your antics anymore."
Old Master Shen waved his hand, not wanting to get involved in the matter.
Since he has already entrusted this family to Nanxing, he will trust him wholeheartedly, and even if he ultimately drags the Shen family into hell, he will not blame him.
"Okay, I understand."
Shen Nanxing nodded and prepared to leave with Jiang Nian'an.
"How about we have dinner together tonight?"
Grandpa Shen looked at Shen Nanxing with anticipation, like a child asking an adult for candy.
"No..." Shen Nanxing refused without even thinking.
"I have some good things here that your grandmother specially left for your future wife."
Upon hearing this, Shen Nanxing paused, then said without turning his head, "Understood, we'll come over tonight."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Shen immediately chuckled, stroking his beard with one hand and putting the other behind his back, humming a little tune as he walked towards the kitchen.
Hmph, little brat, he easily got his hands on you~
Liu Xu looked at Old Master Shen, who was like a playful old man, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
Then I went to the kitchen to help decide on the evening's menu.
......
'Cheers!'
Big Grey returned carrying Little Silver, the King, and Little Blood Fox.
Xiao Longzhan was playing on the slide in front of the villa when he heard Da Hui's voice. He immediately took out the bird eggs and snake eggs he had bought at the market earlier.
He wanted to share the bird eggs with his brothers, and also give the snake eggs to Little Silver and the King.
