Chapter 2 002 Did the eldest lady admit her mistake?
The door of the ancestral hall was closed.
Butler Bai's heart, which had risen to his throat, slowly subsided.
He looked at Bai Shi with complicated eyes.
Xiangcheng, the most remote city in the north, is also the border city farthest from Jiangjing.
It is dirty and messy, with all kinds of people. It is the most decadent place in the country and there is not even a high-speed railway station.
Bai Shi was looking at the Bai family tablet thoughtfully. It only has a history of two hundred years.
She asked the housekeeper with mixed feelings: "Is Bai Yi Xing still there now?"
Bai Yi Xing is one of the ten most famous songs of all time, and the school song of Jiangjing University. Any primary school student can know it. Butler Bai thought she was looking for a topic, so he said: "Miss, why do you have to make such a fuss? When a person is born, what kind of fate is it? So you see, some people can turn things around even if they are born in adversity, while others can only squander the best conditions..."
The eldest young master had a poor living environment since he was a child, but he passed the exam and went to Jiangjing University. He also had a doctoral supervisor and the support of the Jiangjing family. The Bai family's position in the north city became more and more stable. Everyone knew that the eldest young master was not an ordinary person.
Bai Qiming was waiting for the brother and sister Bai Shaoke to bring honor to their family and be admitted to Jiangjing. It would be best if they could be recorded in the prefectural and city annals.
On the other hand, Bai Shi...
"What's not yours is not yours after all, and the Second Miss has everything she has today because of her own ability." Butler Bai talked for a while, then felt that there was no need to waste time with her, and turned around.
He had to deliver the apprenticeship letter to the Second Miss immediately.
As soon as the butler turned around, he heard Bai Shi say faintly: "Where did you take my things?"
The butler was stunned, "I..."
He didn't finish his sentence, and suddenly -
Bai Shi stretched out her hand and grabbed his collar, and her slender white fingertips exerted a little force.
There was an obvious feeling of being strangled and suffocated in his neck. The butler involuntarily lowered his body, and his heart seemed to be grasped by someone, and he was forced to look up and look into her dark eyes!
He vaguely remembered that Bai Shi's mother was Ji Mulan, whose beauty had shocked the entire North City.
It seemed that everyone thought that Bai Shi had not inherited the good qualities of Bai Qiming and Ji Mulan, including him. But
he was a little uncertain at this moment.
Bai Shi admired for a while, and suddenly laughed again. She tightened her grip and asked slowly, "Do you know what happened to the last person who provoked me?"
Butler Bai's face quickly turned red due to suffocation and congestion.
She loosened her hand that was pinching his neck, and helped him to straighten his collar calmly. Her voice was low and gentle, "Look, I'm just joking. What are you afraid of?" Her
movements could be described as gentle.
However, Butler Bai was frightened, and the alarm bells in his head were screaming wildly! !
He covered his neck with his hands and kept coughing. He
looked at Bai Shi again with fear in his eyes.
Bai Shi pushed him away again and stopped smiling.
It was like a boiling water suddenly freezing.
She unhurriedly picked up the apprenticeship card in his hand with two fingers, blew away the non-existent dust on the name card indifferently, and said in an ambiguous tone: "Make arrangements, I'll go to Xiangcheng."
**
Two days later, Xiangcheng.
The most remote border town in the country, even the three-year poverty alleviation program did not reach here.
There is no developed transportation here, and even slightly taller buildings are rare.
Bai Shi stood under the city wall, lifted the hood of the sweatshirt on her head, and looked up.
The city wall has gone through thousands of years of wind and frost, the stones have collapsed, and the shade is full of moss. On both sides of the road are two rows of lazy banyan trees, and light and shadows sway through the gaps.
She was carrying a black backpack in one hand, and she had five incense sticks lined up under her feet, with smoke curling up into the clear sky.
Not far away, a little boy who was squatting on the ground and staring at the waterwheel glanced at her twice, and when he saw that Bai Shi had not left, he continued to stare at the waterwheel.
Bai Shi was awakened by the ringing of her cell phone.
"Ashi, you haven't arrived yet?" It was the original owner's aunt in Xiangcheng, and her voice sounded cautious.
Bai Shi picked up her backpack and threw it behind her, "I'll be back soon." She
vaguely saw a drop of water falling down, soaking into the dust.
She watched the five incense sticks burn out, then she pulled up the hood of her sweatshirt and put it on her head, and walked towards the station.
There is a moat outside Xiangcheng, which is split into two streams and led into the city. A large wooden windmill is built on the water inside the city gate. As the water flows, the windmill rotates slowly.
The little boy noticed her leaving out of the corner of his eye, and finally moved and followed her to the bus stop.
Baisui stood in the shade of the tree, lowering her eyes to look at the child who was not even as tall as her waist. Her slender fingertips were on her cell phone, tapping casually.
The child had been following her since he followed her onto the bus from the train station.
His eyes were dark and bright, he had a crew cut, and he wore a white shirt, a blue knitted vest, and black leather shoes. He was neat and tidy. He
was sophisticated and beautiful.
There was a sense of incongruity in this run-down town everywhere.
"Why are you following me?"
The child lowered his head, repeatedly unbuttoned and buttoned his cuffs, staring at the buttons and saying, "This morning my brother gave me half a banana, half a banana, half..."
The bus stop here had no seats and was very simple. There were not many cars on the road, only two or three.
Bai Shi leaned against the bus stop, dozing off lazily: "I don't understand."
"Oh, I'm waiting for my parents to pick me up to their world," he stared at the piece of red ribbon in Bai Shi's left hand again, "My brother knows where I am, but he just doesn't want to pay attention to me." "
Ah," Bai Shi tilted her head, suddenly stared at him for a while, and reached out to tap his forehead, "Then your brother is pretty cool."
"Oh." The child turned his eyes to a black car slowly approaching from the opposite side.
Silently resisting her last sentence.
**
Across the street, a black business car. In
the driver's seat, the short-haired driver put one hand on the steering wheel, and was extremely vigilant even on a harmless street.
He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he saw the child across the street. He pressed the Bluetooth headset on his ear and said, "Everyone retreat, turn off the infrared, and don't aim at ordinary people."
There was only a young man in the back seat. There was a notebook with no markings in front of him. His white shirt was buttoned up tightly to the top. His eyes were very light and his skin was cold and pale.
He casually stroked the computer screen with his fingertips and clicked on the file.
The document in the email showed complicated numerical formulas.
He glanced at it, his thick eyelashes drooped slightly, and typed a comment with one hand -
[Don't send me spam anymore]
Jiang Fuli pressed two keys casually, and a voice pop-up box appeared in the lower left corner of the computer. It was a man in a lab coat. He complained, "Mr. Jiang, what did you do to those R country researchers?" "
Go ahead." Jiang Fuli was frugal with his words.
"Fuck," the man laughed with joy, not knowing what funny thing he remembered, "Today they jointly reported you to the Mensa League. You know I don't meet the league's threshold. I heard from my teacher, will this affect you?"
Mensa League, the world's top IQ league.
The requirements for joining the league are very strict, with only 100 members worldwide.
Most countries don't have a single person who can meet the threshold.
Only three people in the country passed the assessment.
Jiang Fuli tapped the table casually with his fingertips and commented sharply: "Then I wish them success."
The man opposite laughed briefly, "OK, I understand."
Jiang Fuli turned off the computer screen and turned his eyes lazily to the window, his light phoenix eyes suppressing his natural coldness.
The one-way glass can clearly see outside.
The girl was wearing a white sweater, with a bag casually hanging on her right shoulder.
Her left hand was on the kid's forehead.
Because of her movements, her wrist and the red ribbon tied on it were vaguely exposed. The bright red ribbon was about one centimeter wide and loosely wrapped around her wrist. Her wrist was white, but the ribbon was dazzling red, swaying gently with the wind.
She responded and glanced over here casually.
A startled glance.
Jiang Fuli's fingertips stopped on the black flip cover of the computer.
The bus suddenly broke into the torn picture.
The child looked at the swaying exhaust of the bus and wanted to follow Bai Shi on the bus, but he didn't dare.
So he stood there.
The car opposite was not in a hurry and just stopped there leisurely.
He unbuttoned and buttoned his clothes, and hesitated for more than ten minutes before he walked to the other side. The back door opened automatically, and he climbed in with his hands and feet.
"Young Master Jiang He." The driver with a crew cut glanced at the back and greeted.
The little boy took a while before saying "Oh" and slowly replied, "Uncle Ming."
**
At the same time, in the Bai family in North City.
The family meeting room.
The meeting was coming to an end.
Bai Shaoqi pushed the door open with the test paper.
An old man's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "Shaoqi, school is over, come in quickly, we just finished the meeting."
Everyone else stood up and greeted Bai Shaoqi.
"You are in your third year of high school, right?" the old man said to Bai Qiming again, "Qiming, our Bai family fully supports you, Shaoqi can ask for anything you need."
Their Bai family has a history of 200 years, but in these 200 years, the first generation of the family tree had a leader, and the family tree started with this leader, who was also their ancestor.
Since then, there has been no celebrity in the Bai family.
Until Bai Shaoke appeared!
"Thank you, grandfather, it's the third year of high school," Bai Qiming smiled, then shook his head, "but the competition is too fierce this year."
Just from the people who heard that they could compete for the top prize, including Song Min, there are already ten people.
"Why don't you see Ah Xi?" The grandfather of the clan looked towards the open door, and was a little confused when he didn't see Bai Xi.
It's really a pot that is not open.
Bai Qiming's good mood suddenly disappeared, and the smile on his face turned cold.
The conference room was also quiet, and no one dared to speak.
"Grandfather, let's go first." Now Bai Qiming is doing well because of Bai Shaoke, and naturally the other people in the clan will not make him unhappy. Just as the meeting was over, he hurriedly pulled the grandfather out.
After leaving the conference room, the people next to him explained to the grandfather, "Bai Shi cheated in the exam at No. 1 Middle School and may be expelled."
Beicheng No. 1 Middle School is one of the top ten schools in the country. It is not easy to get in to study. The Bai family spent a lot of effort to send Bai Shi in, but they didn't expect such a scandal to happen in the end.
"I thought that a talented woman like Ji Mulan would have good descendants," Taigong said, his face showing annoyance and shame. He sighed, "Well, a small family can't be on the stage after all."
In the conference room.
"Very good test," Bai Qiming took Bai Shaoqi's test paper and saw full marks without surprise. After signing his name, he returned it to Bai Shaoqi, "Don't bother with your sister."
"I know." Bai Shaoqi nodded lightly.
She never regarded Bai Shaoqi as an opponent, so why bother?
Bai Qiming comforted his daughter again: "Although the competition is fierce this time, if you can pass the interview with Dean Jian and be taught and recommended by her, you may not be unable to be admitted to Jiangjing."
"I will work hard."
She looked arrogant. Bai Shaoqi was very ambitious. She always believed that she would not be like Bai Shi, who was trapped in the same place and looked up to others.
Bai Qiming naturally believed her. The two siblings were well educated since childhood and never made him worry.
He asked Bai Shaoqi to go back to study.
After everyone left, Butler Bai came in and added tea for Bai Qiming. Bai
Qiming picked up the teacup and took a sip. Suddenly he remembered Bai Shi and his face was cold: "Where is she? Haven't you recognized her yet?"
Butler Bai knew that this "she" was Bai Shi.
He didn't dare to speak.
Bai Qiming put down his teacup, picked up the extension on the table, and said coldly to the servant on the other end of the phone, "Ask Bai Xi to come to the conference room to see me."
Sorry for the long wait!
So today I will update two chapters, love you~
