Chapter 222 223 Who is Bai Xi?
Dean Jian paused at the door.
Gao Yan noticed this, and just when she wanted to ask, Dean Jian walked in as if nothing had happened.
The Zhuzi private room was large, with places for playing chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as board games.
Xu Nanjing saw them coming in from the corner of his eye, put down his teacup, stood up and whispered to Bai Xi, "Sister Xi, my mother wants to introduce you to an old man, he's here."
Bai Xi tilted her head and politely stood up with Xu Nanjing.
Gao Yan walked in through the screen with Dean Jian. She was wearing a well-cut cheongsam, showing a unique temperament, and a black jade folding fan was elegantly placed in her palm.
Uncle Lin followed behind Dean Jian and pulled out the main chair for him.
Gao Yan leaned forward slightly to introduce Bai Wei to Dean Jian, "Mr. Jian, this is the young man I told you about."
After she finished speaking, she found that Dean Jian was just standing there quietly, looking at Bai Wei indifferently, expressionless and motionless.
Gao Yan paused slightly and turned to Bai Wei, "Wai Wei, this is Dean Jian."
Bai Wei was also silent.
This...
aura is not compatible?
Gao Yan held the folding fan tightly and looked at Xu Nanjing subconsciously. Xu Nanjing was also confused.
Jiang Fuli just sat quietly beside Bai Wei and poured himself a cup of tea slowly, elegant and leisurely.
The whole box was silent with only the sound of him pouring tea.
The atmosphere became cold.
Gao Yan looked at Dean Jian's expressionless face and began to think that she was too reckless and seemed to have messed up a bit.
Bai Xi should have never heard of Dean Jian.
She put down her folding fan, and Uncle Lin beside her hurried over to pour tea for Dean Jian to ease the atmosphere, "Miss Bai, this is Mr. Jian, also a guzheng master."
He said to Dean Jian, "Mr. Jian, this is Miss Bai, Bai Xi, a distinguished guest of the Xu family."
After Uncle Lin finished speaking, Dean Jian sat on the chair coldly and glanced over: "She is Bai Xi? Who is the person who is studying hard in the library?"
Jiang Fuli paused slightly as he picked up the teacup to drink tea.
"Come out to buy books." After Bai Xi nodded slightly to Gao Yan, his fingertips lightly touched the modern music theory placed next to Jiang Fuli.
Dean Jian put his hand on the armrest and glanced over, "Don't fool me."
"I've watched the performance you sent me. They didn't control the strength of the string contact well," Bai Di said calmly, "The tone lacks tension in the second bar."
Speaking of his expertise, Dean Jian sat up straight, "You feel the same way, right? Their fingers are so soft and they don't play with any momentum at all..."
When he spoke, his face was not as deep as before like a master. His fingertips tapped the armrests rhythmically, and he was in a very relaxed state. His
eyebrows were kind, and when he talked about something he was interested in, his cloudy eyes sparkled with light.
The two have started to communicate.
Gao Yan next to him was stunned for a moment, then reacted and looked at Xu Nanjing.
These two obviously know each other, not only know each other, but are very familiar with each other?
Xu Nanjing was also confused. He watched the two finish their conversation and finally asked Bai Xi, "Sister Xi, do you know Dean Jian?"
Dean Jian, even Gao Yan had to ask for the favor of Master Chen to invite him.
Can you get to know him just because you want to?
"Yes." Bai Xi nodded slightly at him.
Very calm.
How could she be so indifferent?
Didn't she see that Dean Jian's other two disciples, Li Jiu and Liu Shuhe, were both promoted by Dean Jian?
Xu Nanjing: "..."
Gao Yan glanced at him, implying that he was useless.
She sat down with Xu Nanjing again and did not disturb Bai Xi's conversation.
When the two talked about fingering, the man outside the door didn't understand, and Gao Yan just looked at Bai Xi.
Bai Shi sat on a chair, her back was very straight, her left hand resting slightly on the table, her sitting posture was very dignified, yet extremely relaxed, this kind of demeanor was not necessarily possessed even by the children of aristocratic families in Jiang Jing who had received special etiquette training.
Listening to Bai Shi again, she could follow up on whatever Dean Jian said, and her cultural background could be heard in just a few sentences.
It was ingrained in her conversation and temperament.
If the scene was different, and she didn't know Bai Shi, she would definitely think that Bai Shi was a child of aristocratic family.
But...
Gao Yan exhaled, she remembered Xu Nanjing said that Bai Shi was from Xiangcheng, and the economy had never developed there, and only in the past year had there been huge changes.
**
After a meal.
Bai Shi and Dean Jian were still walking together, chatting casually.
"When are you coming to Jiangjing to pay respect to the ancestor?" Dean Jian was talking to Bai Shi. The ancestor he was talking about was naturally Mr. Qin Jiu. The
way the two chatted was more like a friendship regardless of age.
The group said goodbye at the door.
Gao Yan looked at Bai Shi and handed her the gift for meeting her. "At first, I thought you and Dean Jian had different auras."
Who knew that Bai Shi and Dean Jian were so familiar with each other.
Dean Jian knew who Gao Yan and Xu Nanjing were, and knew that the two were very friendly and close to Bai Shi.
He explained, "I have been looking for her for several days. She kept saying that she was very busy and had to read. In the afternoon, she said that she was studying hard in the library. In the evening, I saw her here, Madam Gao. I have to thank Madam Gao this time, otherwise, she might have to read until school starts."
At this point, Dean Jian glanced at Bai Shi.
He wanted to say something, but when he saw Jiang Fuli standing beside Bai Xi, he glanced at her with a pale look. Dean Jian got into the car that Xu's family had sent him to, and
said goodbye to them.
Jiang Fuli also took the car key and left with Bai Xi.
After everyone left,
Uncle Lin looked at Gao Yan in a daze: "Madam, Mr. Jian just said... he has been looking for Miss Bai for several days?"
Bai Shi is still perfunctory with him?
Dean Jian was very distant when talking to Gao Yan. He is different from those aristocratic families. Dean Jian represents the traditional music school and also serves as the face of traditional music in China internationally.
People like Mr. Chen respect him very much. Not to mention Dean Jian’s students, all of them worship Dean Jian when they are mentioned outside.
And Dean Jian’s attitude towards Bai Shi, no one would dare to believe it.
This is really hard to understand. No one in Beijing has ever heard of Bai Shi.
Who is Bai Shi? She is so familiar with Dean Jian that it makes people in Jiangyin feel scared.
Gao Yan was also confused, "You said that Dean Jian has no shortage of students."
Uncle Lin: "..."
Dean Jian and Bai Shi’s communication is completely equal.
Gao Yan looked down at her small folding fan, and remembered that Bai Shi had looked at her folding fan several times, and told Uncle Lin: "You order a folding fan, and you want a white jade bone."
The bone of her folding fan was black jade, but she felt that Bai Shi was more suitable for flawless white jade.
"Mom," Xu Nanjing stood on the side of the road with one hand in his pocket, and didn't understand, "Sister A-shi plays the guzheng very well? But I haven't heard of her name."
Gao Yan glanced at him irritably, a little disgusted: "What use are you."
She got in the car, slammed the back door, and told the driver to drive.
Xu Nanjing was left there, looking at Uncle Lin with his mouth open.
Uncle Lin also frowned and looked at him, "Master, you don't seem to care about Miss Bai."
This "Master" was full of dissatisfaction.
Xu Nanjing: "..."
Well, well, he is the little idiot in the whole dinner, right?
**
This side.
At the entrance of Jiangyin, Mrs. Song and President Yin were standing next to Bai Shaoqi, who was talking to a middle-aged man.
This was Mr. Ning, the performance teacher introduced to Bai Shaoqi by Principal Luo.
President Yin also took the time to come and chat with Teacher Ning.
As the group was talking, a car stopped at the entrance. It had a black body and a red flag on the left.
President Yin looked at the license plate, a black license plate from Xingjiang District. He quickly stood up and looked straight over.
This license plate is not common in Chang'an District, and many people at the school gate subconsciously looked over.
The driver got out of the driver's seat and opened the back door.
In the back was Dean Jian.
Seeing that it was Dean Jian, Teacher Ning hurriedly took a few steps forward and greeted Dean Jian, "Dean Jian, you are back."
"Yeah." Dean Jian seemed to be in a good mood and nodded slightly to Teacher Ning.
Then he thanked the driver and walked into the school. After
the people left, Teacher Ning retracted his gaze and looked at Bai Shaoqi, "You are so young, but you have won so many awards. It's great. You can come to the training room tomorrow and study with other students."
"Thank you, teacher." Bai Shaoqi retracted his gaze and thanked him. After
Teacher Ning finished talking to Bai Shaoqi, he said hello and walked into the school, quickening his pace to catch up with Dean Jian.
Bai Shaoqi looked at Dean Jian's back as he walked away, and then looked at the gatehouse of Jiangyin.
Thinking of the car just now, she felt that President Yin and Teacher Ning were in awe of the car: "Uncle Yin, the car that just sent Dean Jian back seems very unusual."
"Of course," President Yin was still looking at the direction the car left, "it's just those few big surnames, Dean Jian..."
Who are they?
Bai Shaoqi's heart moved. She knew last year that the Yin family only lived in the marginal areas of Jiangjing and marginalized enterprises.
Looking up again, President Yin didn't continue.
Obviously, he didn't know much about these forces.
**
Bar.
At the bar, Xue Chun grasped the cocktail shaker with her left hand and poured the red liquid inside into the transparent wine glass full of ice cubes. The scattered light made her whole face hazy.
Many people glanced at her.
She pushed the red wine glass in front of Xu Wenyao, "Master Xu, let's leave quickly after drinking, this place is not suitable for you."
Xu Wenyao was wearing a white shirt and black pants, his eyebrows were gentle but very distant.
He was very elite, and many women came to chat with him since he sat here, and he was reading the text on his mobile phone.
Xue Chun glanced at it and didn't understand, it was very complicated numbers. It was
a bit like Bai Shen's style, after all, there were not many people who came to the bar to learn.
"You haven't paid off your debts yet?" Xu Wenyao put his fingertips on the bar. He always felt that Xue Chun was a very divided person. She seemed to be like a fish in water in the bar, but through her frivolous surface, he always felt that there was another her standing alone at the corner of the iceberg.
Because of Baishen, the two of them were familiar with each other. Xu Wenyao asked her why she had been in the bar, and she said she had to pay off her debts.
A regular customer next to her smiled and handed Xue Chun a few bills.
"Drunk nonsense, do you believe it?" Xue Chun reached out and took out a bill, folded it twice, then leaned over and slowly put the stacked bills between the first and second buttons of Xu Wenyao's shirt, "I just like money."
After saying that, she stood up and turned to leave the bar.
Xu Wenyao looked at her back.
A familiar boss passing by handed her a cigarette. Xue Chun put the cigarette in her mouth. The boss quickly reached out to light it for her and asked jokingly, "Miss Xue Chun, when will you come to our private room to make cocktails?"
Xue Chun exhaled smoke lightly and glanced at him slowly, "I'll take a break tomorrow."
She came to the lounge and Xiao Wu just came back, "I'm so tired. I'll go see if Miss Bai needs anything tomorrow."
"I'll go too," Xue Chun flicked the ash with her fingertips and suddenly remembered, "How much money do I owe Young Master Mao?"
Mao Kun redeemed her from the foreman, and from then on she followed Mao Kun and the others, making cocktails and watching the place, and occasionally helping Xiao Qi with some suspenseful work.
If anyone in the bar behaves unruly, Xiaowu and Maokun will openly teach them a lesson.
Now everyone in the bar knows who she is, no one dares to behave unruly to her, and the manager is very polite to her.
"I don't know, sister," Xiaowu touched the back of his head and said cutely, "I haven't paid back what I owe Miss Bai yet."
He had never counted what he owed Mao Kun.
**
The next day.
Bai Xi went to the school library to read as usual.
At around six in the evening, he left the school with Xu Wenyao and Chen Hong. Today, Xu Zhiyue came back, and Xu Wenyao was going back to the Xu family, so he invited Chen Hong to dinner.
Bai Xi took Xu Wenyao's car back to the apartment.
Xu Wenyao sat in the driver's seat, and he looked in the rearview mirror, "Are you really not coming today?"
"No," Bai Xi put his hand on the car window, talking to Xu Wenyao while looking at his phone, and said slowly, "My friends are coming."
Xu Wenyao nodded.
As the co-pilot, Chen Hong was very sorry to hear that Bai Xi was not going with them.
The car just turned from Jiangjing Avenue to Siyang Road.
Siyang Road is a small road. Except for those who come to Shanhai Apartment specially, there are usually no people.
Chen Hong saw a fight a hundred meters away. "Old Xu, should we report it..."
He just said that, and saw Xu Wenyao brake suddenly.
In the back seat, Bai Xi also raised her head and saw Xiaowu and Xuechun not far away.
She got out of the car.
Xiaowu has red hair and is stepping on a big man in black.
Xuechun is wearing black hot pants, a white vest on the upper body, and a plaid shorts on the outside. She is standing under a tree three steps away with her hands on her chest, watching them fight.
It was the first time that Chen Hong saw someone fighting. When he saw Bai Xi passing by, he quickly unbuckled his seat belt and followed, "Junior sister, be careful!"
The two approached.
Xiao Wu was crying and looked up at Bai Xi, crying and saying, "Sister, they beat me."
Chen Hong looked down at the three big men who were beaten down by Xiao Wu, then looked up at Xiao Wu with tears streaming down his face...
He fell into deep self-doubt.
Xue Chun saw Bai Xi and quickly stood up and reported the situation to Bai Xi, "Ms. Bai, they are looking for me, thanks to Mr. Xiao Wu."
She said it briefly.
Bai Xi held a stack of books in her right hand, glanced at the man in the middle, and slowly squatted down. She
casually pulled out a book, and then used the tip of her hand to gently pry open the hand of a man who was covering his face.
She lowered her eyes, moving slowly and with a slightly casual attitude.
The man used great strength to cover his face, but the book in his hand was like a jack, easily pushing his hand away, revealing his slightly swollen face and surprised eyes.
Chen Hong didn't know Xue Chun.
Bai Zhu glanced at the man lightly, then stood up, lowered her head and gently blew on the book that had touched the man.
Then she tilted her head slightly and looked at Xu Wen Yao, her black eyes were as dark as ink, and her voice was neither fast nor slow: "Who is he?"
Xue Chun and Xiao Wu both looked at Xu Wen Yao in surprise.
Xu Wenyao's face was cold. He looked down at the man and quickly recognized him. "Du Qingyu, Qi Shuyun's cousin."
Bai Di knew who Qi Shuyun was.
After hearing Xu Wenyao's words, she first glanced at Xue Chun and Xu Wenyao.
Then she looked down at Du Qingyu. With Xiao Wu and the others there, Xue Chun was not injured. Bai Di put the book back and said casually, "Okay, then I won't worry about it for now, you handle it."
Xu Wenyao looked at Du Qingyu on the ground with an ugly face. He knew that Bai Di was giving him face, "Don't worry."
Bai Di took Xue Chun and Xiao Wu away.
After Xu Wenyao apologized to Chen Hong, he drove back to Xu's house alone.
**
Mingfeng District, Xu's house.
Xu Zhiyue just came back from the hotel near Jiangjing University in the afternoon. Old Mrs. Xu invited only the Qi family to dinner.
Both families wanted to make amends.
At this time, the lobby was very serious.
Xu Wenyao looked at Mr. Qi neither servile nor arrogant, "Du Qingyu followed them first, and the police found that they had tracking records."
Old Mrs. Xu quickly stood up with a cane and interrupted Xu Wenyao, "Wenyao, what are you talking about? We are all family. It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."
As she said, she signaled Xu Wenyao with her eyes.
Xu Wenyao, however. Unmoved
Mr. Qi put down his phone. He was wearing glasses. He looked down on the Xu family. "In that case, old lady, I don't think there is any need for our two families to interact."
Behind him, Qi Shuyun also pursed her lips and looked at Xu Wenyao, her eyes full of disappointment, "My mother just wanted to ask the bar girl to talk. We didn't care about their beating Qingyu. Xu Wenyao, you really have changed."
Xu Wenyao raised his head calmly, "You broke the law first."
He really didn't show any mercy this time.
Qi Shuyun pursed her lips, "Okay, okay, Xu Wenyao, don't regret it."
She turned around and left decisively this time.
Mr. Qi watched his daughter leave, and finally glanced at Xu Wenyao, "That bartender is Bai Shi's friend? Are you going to break off with our Qi family because of them?"
Hearing Bai Shi's name, Ji Mulan, who had always been marginalized, looked down and raised her head uneasily. Bai Shi did have a lot of friends who were not stingy. They were all bad friends in the North City.
Xu Wenyao frowned, "You are a scholar, and A Shi's friend is not a bartender."
Mr. Qi looked at him coldly, and this time he didn't say anything and left directly.
"Mr. Qi, Shuyun!" The old lady reacted and chased after her to explain.
But the Qi family didn't listen to the old lady this time, and drove away directly.
Old lady Xu came back, and she seemed to be ten years older. She looked at Xu Wenyao, "Do you know that Shuyun is a student that Dr. Zuo wants to accept? Also, she went to Miss Liu's party yesterday. For that woman who came out of nowhere..."
"That's A-Xi's friend." Xu Wenyao looked at old lady Xu.
"What kind of friends does she have?" The top scorer in the college entrance examination is just a title. To Old Lady Xu, it is not as important as Young Master Xu and Miss Liu. "Did our Xu family miss any opportunity because of your decision? Go and kneel down in the back and follow me to the Qi family tomorrow!"
No matter how smart Bai Xi is, she is just a top scorer in the college entrance examination. She has not made a name for herself. It is unknown when Director Chen can return to Jiangjing. She may be strangled at any time.
As she said that, Old Lady Xu glanced at Ji Mulan.
Xu En stood up and looked at Xu Wenyao, "Go upstairs to see Zhiyue."
After Xu Wenyao left, Xu En lowered his head and said to the old lady, "Mom, you stay at home for the next two days. Don't leave."
In the past six months, Xu En's voice in Xu's has far exceeded that of the old lady.
Even the old lady couldn't influence his decision.
After saying that, he took Ji Mulan away.
Assistant Xu fell one step behind Xu En. He was the one who had been to Heishui Street after Bai Shi. Seeing old lady Xu like this, he paused, "Old lady."
Old lady Xu held the Buddhist beads and raised her head coldly.
"You should be thankful," Assistant Xu glanced at her and said softly, "It is the young master who is handling this matter today. If it was Miss Bai..." When
he said this, he lowered his eyes, politely said goodbye to old lady Xu, and didn't continue.
Then he went out and followed Xu En.
Old lady Xu was stunned. Assistant Xu was a smart man. Xu En valued him, and he would not say these things for no reason. "Butler Xu, what does Assistant Xu mean?"
