Bai Huiyao clearly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere when he walked into the banquet hall.
Especially when I saw the girls standing there with their hair disheveled and their faces red and swollen.
He couldn't help but frown slightly.
But then he smiled and pretended to be ignorant and said, "I'm so sorry everyone, I was not feeling well earlier, but I'm recovering now and will be here soon. Enjoy everyone."
The crowd who originally wanted to watch the show were surprised.
Can Mr. Bai attend his own banquet?
So fast?
It looked quite serious when he fell down just now.
So much so that they all felt that the banquet should end early.
I didn't expect the old man to be in such good physical condition.
With such good news from the old man of the Bai family, the atmosphere in the banquet hall obviously eased.
The parents took one look at Jian Ci who was sitting there eating, and wanted to take the opportunity to take their daughters back to their seats.
Just as I was about to turn around, I heard a light noise behind me again.
It was the sound of Jian Ci putting down the teacup.
Wei Bei decisively stepped forward to block the man.
In an instant, the atmosphere that had just relaxed froze again.
The girls' nerves suddenly tensed up.
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Jian Ci again.
They didn't expect that even with the Bai family members coming, she still dared not give up.
This is going to heaven!
Shameless.
Although the Bai family would give face to Master Qin Wu, that didn't mean they would give face to Jian Ci.
Be careful or you might lose face and become a laughing stock.
Apparently, the parents of those families also thought so, so one of the men smiled apologetically and said, "Miss Jian, we have apologized and admitted our mistakes. After all, this is still the Bai family's birthday party..."
"Using the Bai family to pressure me?" Jian Ci smiled.
But the smile didn't reach his eyes.
"No, Secretary Bai is here. It won't look good if we start a fight." The man said respectfully to Bai Huiyao, "Secretary Bai, I'm so sorry. I was just joking around and saying something rude. I've upset Master Wu's fiancée. Isn't this a small conflict?"
With just one sentence, the conflict was shifted to Jian Ci.
When the girls saw the Bai family show up, their panicked expressions gradually calmed down and their backs straightened unconsciously.
There was even more resentment in his eyes when he looked at Jian Ci.
However, Bai Huiyao is very smart.
Not to mention that Jian Ci is Qin Wuye's person, just because she just saved his father's life, he can't offend her.
So Xiaoxiao didn't say anything.
Seeing Bai Huiyao remained silent, the man couldn't help but feel uneasy. He turned to look at Jian Ci and said, "Miss Jian, please take a step back. Fifth Master didn't say anything, so don't make a fuss about it."
But Jian Ci smiled arrogantly, "What if I don't retreat?"
"This..." The man simply turned to Bai Huiyao and said, "Secretary Bai, how about you give me some advice?"
At this time, everyone's eyes turned to him.
Seeing that this person was so confused and insisted on pulling him out, Bai Huiyao said bluntly with a smile: "I dare not give you any advice casually. Miss Jian is the savior of our Bai family."
The faces of those who were waiting to watch the show all changed.
Save...savior?
who?
Jane Ci?
Are you kidding me?
She was just a crude girl from the countryside, and she was able to marry into the Qin family thanks to Mr. Tang.
How could he be the Bai family’s savior!
This is ridiculous.
"Secretary Bai is such a joke." The man obviously didn't believe it either, so he continued, "Please help me, Secretary Bai. After all, this matter can't be brought to Mr. Bai's attention."
Just as he finished speaking, a voice came from the door of the banquet hall.
"Who is calling me?"
Everyone subconsciously looked towards the source of the voice and saw that the old man was in good spirits, not at all in the critical condition he looked when he fainted just now.
This is somewhat surprising.
Everyone quickly stood up and said a few words of concern.
Mr. Bai responded with a smile.
Finally, he turned his gaze back to Jian Ci.
When everyone present saw this, the banquet hall fell silent again.
Now that the old man is here, they don’t believe that Jian Ci would dare to act recklessly.
But the next second, he heard him say to Jian Ci with concern: "Jian girl, is the food to your liking?"
Everyone was stunned.
Jian Ci just nodded and said, "It's okay."
Mr. Bai laughed and said, "As long as you are satisfied."
Everyone was shocked to see the old man's attitude.
What’s going on?!
Why is Mr. Bai so warm to Jian Ci?
Could it be because of Fifth Master?
But that's not right.
The Qin family and the Bai family are not very close, except for the close relationship between Bai Wenjin and Qin Shizheng.
Look, when the old man came over just now, the first thing he saw was Jian Ci, and he didn't pay any attention to Qin Shizheng next to him.
So, Jian Ci and Mr. Bai knew each other before?
But how could a country girl like her have the chance to meet him?
Before they could react, they heard Jian Ci casually say, "Old man, I'll borrow your space to deal with these two gossipers. Is that okay?"
These words immediately made everyone feel that Jian Ci was really taking advantage of the situation.
Who would ruin someone else's birthday party?
What’s more, the other party is the old man of the Bai family!
But who would have thought that Mr. Bai would answer without hesitation, "Of course, no problem. What I hate most in my life are those who gossip behind my back."
