He is the deputy head of the capital city.
The guests present instantly changed their expressions, forgetting the earlier incident, and began chatting happily with each other.
Although Old Mrs. Bai made the decision for Bai Wei, Old Mr. Bai still had the most say.
District Chief Bai spoke up.
Bai Wei's previously shelved "husband selection" activity has resurfaced, therefore, Bai Wei is the one who needs comforting.
Qu Jian'er looked at the old man who was as steady as Mount Tai and silently recited "respect the elderly and care for the young" three times in her heart.
Bai Wei tugged at Qu Jian'er's sleeve: "What should we do?"
Qu Jian'er didn't want to change anyone's mind with her talisman: "If all else fails, you'll have to make do and choose one."
Bai Wei's lips twitched: "I don't want to."
Qu Jian'er straightened up: "Wait a minute, my Weiwei said she doesn't want to choose a fiancé."
Upon hearing this, Bai Wei trembled repeatedly, the shadow of being disciplined by her family in her childhood instantly enveloping her.
District Chief Bai simply said, "Her opinion is not important."
He didn't even glance at Qu Jian'er.
Simply state the facts in a plain manner.
Qu Jian'er instantly abandoned the traditional virtue of respecting elders: "You old man are really something. Her opinion doesn't matter. Who does? In the end, are you choosing a husband or is she choosing a husband?"
Everyone: "..."
They thought to themselves:
Do you even know who you're talking to?
Don't be so reckless.

Most of the guests were from the political field, which has a strict hierarchical structure.
Because they do not have the privileges of the nine great families, they cannot be pardoned after offending someone.
They will not openly oppose District Chief Bai.
Even the Bai family's mortal enemies wouldn't be as audacious as Qu Jian'er.

But Qu Jian'er did it!
