"Oh, what brings you here! It truly honors the Qin family's humble abode!"
"Old Master Bai, Fourth Master Bai, please come in. We've prepared a small feast to entertain you both."
After speaking, he glanced at Bai Yajing again and asked with some doubt, "And who is this?"
Both father and son knew who this was, but since they had never met him before, they pretended not to know him.
Upon closer inspection, both father and son displayed the same disdain and contempt in their eyes.
He really does look like a country bumpkin. Judging from what Ya-chu said, well, we should also add that he's vulgar and rude!
Grandpa Bai pretended not to understand and cheerfully introduced them, "Oh, this is the child of my distant relative. He came to visit this old man."
Hahaha, let's go inside and talk. Let's go in first.
There are probably countless eyes watching from this gate! We can't afford to give ourselves away.
The father and son exchanged a glance. What the hell, a distant relative's child! Not knowing what Old Master Bai was up to, the two could only pretend not to know for the time being and beckoned the child inside.
"Oh, okay, okay, let's go in, we have to have a couple of drinks!"
The group entered the hall. The Qin family owned a large courtyard house, decorated in a luxurious and grand style.
However, there were hardly any people around, and all his family members had already left.
After a round of eating and drinking, Old Master Bai finally explained his purpose.
"That's right, my good-for-nothing granddaughter is so short-sighted. Of all people to choose from, she chose her own sister's husband. I'm really ashamed!"
But the Qin family lad also has his eye on her, and the two are birds of a feather. Since that's the case, I, this old man, can't very well break them up. So, I'll call off this engagement for my poor granddaughter. What do you think, Chairman Qin?"
His words left no room for embarrassment for the two of them, showing that he had a lot of complaints about the matter, and he was also very angry that the Qin family helped Bai Yazhu escape!
President Qin's lips twitched slightly. Old Master Bai was really angry this time. Indeed, he had given up his chance to escape because of this.
He also sighed deeply, "Hey! My son received a modern education, and his thinking is different from ours. I watched Ya-chu grow up, and I know her inside and out. It's fate that the two of them are together."
Bai Yajing almost spat out the tea in her mouth.
Good heavens, she knew it! How could someone as kind as Aunt Qin give birth to such a crooked tree? Now she knows the reason!
What a set of values! They even subtly mocked them for being old-fashioned and out of touch with the times. Arranged marriages are strongly opposed nowadays.
They say Bai Yazhu knows everything about him, but it seems she doesn't know his background and has character flaws! Bah! What a scoundrel!
They broke the contract shamelessly and brazenly, and now they're even blaming others!
"This... Uncle Qin, people in this new era have new ideas and pursue free marriage, but that's on the premise that they are free individuals."
Young master, you are engaged. Even if you have taken a fancy to someone else and want to break off the engagement and marry someone else, you should first break off the engagement, right?
"Your kind of adulterous behavior is scorned in our countryside; you'd be paraded through the streets like a slut."
Qin Xuanyi had been holding back ever since the old man started speaking, as he couldn't bring himself to refute him out of respect for his elder status.
But he couldn't stand what Bai Yajing said.
"Young lady, what does this have to do with you? Do you even have the right to speak?"
Arranged marriages are a deeply ingrained and outdated custom, and should be the most condemned and abolished practice. You're an educated person; surely you understand this?
Since he doesn't acknowledge his own identity, then don't blame him for saying such things.
