Chapter 718 Better Impression
Wei Ting couldn't help coughing and hurried to smooth things over between the two of them.
Qi Jue tightened his hand again after loosening it. The other teenagers also reacted and hurried to help change the subject.
Qi Jue pulled Bai Erlang aside and whispered, "Don't make a scene. Your husband is still in the front yard."
Seeing Bai Erlang soften his attitude, he sighed and said, "You are really brave, just fighting back like this."
Bai Erlang looked down on him, "Isn't he only two or three years older than us? What are you afraid of?"
Qi Jue: "His grandfather was the Right Prime Minister."
Bai Erlang: "My father is not an official."
Qi Jue: ...I understand. This person is strong because he has no desires.
Qi Jue held his forehead and patted his shoulder, saying, "But you're going to be an official in the future, right?"
Bai Erlang tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, "I don't mind being an official, but I'm not sure I can become one. Besides, even if I could become an official, it would take many years. He's so petty, how could he hold a grudge for so many years just because of a quarrel?"
Can Qi Jue say that Ji Hao is narrow-minded?
He could only say, "I thought that since I had this intention, it would be better to have more friends than more enemies."
Bai Erlang waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Who would bother with that? What if I can't become an official again? Wouldn't all those ten years of enduring it be in vain? Humph, I won't endure that."
He is the youngest son of the Bai family. From his grandmother to his parents and brothers, and from the servants and villagers to the villagers, who doesn't praise him?
Before Bai Shan and Zhou Man, who didn't pamper him and love him?
Even when facing Bai Shan and Zhou Man, he had wins and losses. He was left standing there being bullied. Who is Ji Hao? Even his father would run away when they wanted to beat him.
Bai Erlang was impatient to stay in the yard and watch people compliment Ji Hao, so he pulled Qi Jue and said, "Come on, let's go play in the garden."
Qi Jue had no choice but to follow him. When Shan Yu and others saw this, they looked at each other and realized that they could not fit into Ji Hao's circle, so they left as well.
Those people were the only ones left in the yard again.
After they left, one of them asked Ji Hao, "Who is that young master? How dare he confront you like that?"
Ji Hao said, "Why do you care so much? We are all friends, what's wrong with talking?"
The man was shocked. "You are so good-tempered now? Who is he?"
Ji Hao said with a sour face: "Friend."
Wei Ting smiled and said, "He's our friend. You don't know him because you're not in Yizhou City. This guy is very powerful. He has two friends who are even more powerful."
Someone from outside the school actually dared to sneak into the provincial school to read books. Isn't this amazing?
The man smiled and said, "I know. You're Ji Hao's savior, right? I've been back for two days now, and my ears are almost callused. I wanted to meet you today, but I didn't expect to have the chance to meet you."
Wei Ting smiled and said, "If you really want to see him, stay a few more days and go to the government school tomorrow."
"Okay, then I'll go to the provincial school tomorrow as well." Although he said that, he really didn't want to go.
Ji Hao's savior is a commoner, so he doesn't care so much about it.
Ji Hao leaned dejectedly on the couch, letting them talk without paying any attention to them.
Old Lady Ji was also very sorry that Bai Shan and Zhou Man did not come. She had wanted to take this opportunity to introduce them to the aristocratic families in Yizhou City and bring them into this circle as a way of repaying them.
Who knew they didn't come?
Madam Ji took advantage of the time to change clothes to go back to her room to change her jewelry and asked the old nanny, "Have you found out? Why didn't they come?"
The old nanny said, "I asked, and they said something happened at home. Miss Zhou's brother was injured, so the two of them didn't come."
Madam Ji sighed, "What a pity."
The old nanny nodded and whispered, "Young Master and Second Young Master Bai had a few words, but Young Master seems to have softened his temper a lot."
Madam Ji sighed again, "I just hope he can learn his lesson after this loss."
The old nanny smiled and said, "I have noticed that Young Master Bai Shan and Young Lady Zhou have good tempers. If you spend more time with them, perhaps your tempers will improve."
Madam Ji couldn't help but laugh, "You just lied to me. He has such a good temper. If you meet him, you will definitely spoil him even more. Since he is a tough guy, then his temper can't be considered good. I'm afraid it's about the same as this Second Young Master Bai, right?"
The old lady smiled but said nothing.
Madam Ji thought about it and said, "This is not bad. In the past, Ying Wenhai and Hao'er were at loggerheads, and his temper never softened. But now he backs down when arguing with others. Perhaps it really is true that there is always something that can conquer something else."
Madam Ji said, "Please bring some return gifts to Mr. Zhuang later. Although they didn't come this time, we should not lose contact. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
The old lady agreed with a smile.
Old Madam Ji still had a good impression of Bai Shan and Zhou Man, and the reason why they did not come to the banquet this time made her attitude more serious.
Originally, she thought that in addition to the thank-you gift she had given them before for saving her life, this time she would introduce them to some aristocratic families and let them get in touch with this circle, which would be her repayment.
But now it seems that they are not scheming, and her concerns have faded. Instead, she has become more sincere towards them and really treats them as friends.
Manbao and the others knew nothing about this. They took a bunch of food home and ate most of it before Mr. Zhuang and the others came back. They hid the rest in the room.
Bai Erlang's nose was like a hamster's. When he returned to the room and pounced on the bed, he couldn't help but move his nose and asked Bai Shan, "What delicious food did you hide in the house?"
Bai Shancai received the gift from the Ji family from Mr. Zhuang. Hearing this, he looked up at him and said, "Didn't you just come back from a banquet? You're not full yet?"
In Bai Shan's memory, banquets are mainly about eating, eating all kinds of delicious food.
Not only their family, but also their cousin's family, all the villages do the same thing at banquets.
"No," Bai Erlang touched his stomach and said, "They kept talking to me and forcing me to drink, so I only had time to eat a few chopsticks of food. I didn't feel very hungry before, but now I am hungry."
Bai Shan took out a bag from the table beside his bed and gave it to him, whispering, "Meat pie, but it's a little cold. Go ask Aunt Rong to heat it up for you. It will be more flavorful and delicious."
Bai Erlang took the meat pie and went to the kitchen.
A meat pie is a baked pie that you cut in half and fill with chopped meat. It tastes delicious.
Bai Erlang hid in Mr. Zhuang's room, quietly went to the kitchen, and quietly had a midnight snack.
Bai Shan had already counted out his gifts, and he went to find Manbao.
Manbao was also unpacking the gifts from the Ji family. Zhou Lijun exclaimed as she unpacked them, "The Ji family is so generous, aunt. Do you think they will give you gifts that will last a lifetime?"
Man Bao said, "You're dreaming! Actually, they don't need so many gifts. They paid me for my treatment, and that's it. Why do they have to give me gifts again and again?"
