Everyone held Qu Jian'er in high esteem. No matter what her fate was, she would be a legend in the political arena, someone who dared to challenge the powerful!
District Chief Bai glanced at the person lightly.
He knew Qu Jian'er just like Dean Bai, but he had never really gotten to know her.
In their view.
People like Qu Jian'er are insignificant.
But I've seen Qu Jian'er now.
District Chief Bai's change of heart means that there's no one in the entire empire who can stand up to him.
Qu Jian'er is definitely one of them.
District Chief Bai's tone remained calm: "Do you know what you're saying?"
Bai Wei stood in front of Qu Jian'er: "She didn't mean it, she was just anxious because of me."
Because she didn't know what Qu Jian'er had done behind her back, and only regarded him as a Taoist priest with some skills, she naturally thought of protecting him first.
However, the Bai family does not believe in Taoist priests, indicating that they would not value Qu Jian'er's skills. This also means that they will not easily let go of Qu Jian'er, who has challenged authority.
Bai Wei's anxious appearance moved District Chief Bai.
District Chief Bai also longed to be surrounded by his children and grandchildren and enjoy family life, but his seriousness dissuaded all the younger generation from doing so.
In his memory.
Bai Wei never loses her composure.
Even when arguing with someone, one will not lose composure.
She changed for the sake of a celebrity.
Bai Rushi quickly stood in front of Qu Jian'er: "Grandpa, she...she definitely didn't do it on purpose!"
District Chief Bai was even more confused.
Having Bai Wei is one thing, after all, she's Qu Jian'er's manager and has some connection to her.
What happened to Bai Ru?
Isn't he known as the Little Tyrant of District One?
How can there be a time when someone is protecting others?
Dean Bai, recalling Qu Jian'er's writings, also said, "Father, she probably didn't do it on purpose."
District Chief Bai was even more bewildered.
Is his son the kind of person who would make excuses for others? How come he only found out about this now!
Does Qu Jian'er know how to use witchcraft?
Why is everyone so swayed by her like crazy?
Even the old woman was giving him meaningful glances.
That's enough!
District Chief Bai pursed his lips and said, "I haven't said anything yet."
Qu Jian'er crossed her arms and said bluntly, "Then say it, no one's covering your mouth."
Everyone: "..." As expected of a rising legend in the political arena, he is fearless!
District Chief Bai said, "Today is my wife's birthday banquet. I can let it go, but you have to give me a reason. Otherwise, if word gets out, where will I put my face?"
Qu Jian'er was speaking when Bai Wei bumped into her: "Your face is so big that it can't even fit on your face... Oh, alright, for Weiwei's sake, I won't hold it against you."
→_→ District Chief Bai is going crazy: Wake up, I'm not arguing with you, but have you even seen reality?
Qu Jian'er blinked and rubbed her hands together, saying, "Making excuses? That's my specialty."
When everyone saw Qu Jian'er's sly eyes, they suddenly felt that something was about to happen.
soon.
Qu Jian'er pointed at Meng Qingyang and said something increasingly outrageous: "Qingyang is Weiwei's future man, and Qingyang is also my junior. In fact, we are in-laws."
Everyone was puzzled.
Seeing that Qu Jian'er was suddenly becoming unreliable.
They were filled with remorse.
Having already witnessed Qu Jian'er's slip of the tongue, why do they still believe her?
As the saying goes.
You can't expect ivory to come out of a dog's mouth.
Qu Jian'er couldn't utter a serious word.
Those present did not believe Qu Jian'er.
Only Bai Wei and Meng Qingyang, who knew Qu Jian'er's methods well, were both shocked.
Meng Qingyang quickly suppressed his immense joy, but before the Bai family members looked over, he became very composed.
Bathed in the spotlight, he walked straight toward Qu Jian'er and Bai Wei, and stood beside them.
Qu Jian'er said earnestly, "Since the two young people are so in love, we, as elders, should quickly set a date. How about tomorrow as the wedding date?"
Everyone: "..." Don't talk to yourself! And who do you think you are as an elder?
After a long pause, District Chief Bai finally recovered. He looked at Meng Qingyang's handsome face; the other man's extraordinary temperament was quite in line with Bai Wei's requirements for a fiancé.
But Qu Jian'er is there.
He felt that Meng Qingyang might also be unreliable.
District Chief Bai changed the subject: "Please forgive us if there has been any inadequacy in our hospitality."
Those present shook their heads in disapproval.
"No, no."
"How could that be?"
"The hospitality was excellent."
Qu Jian'er didn't quite join in the conversation: "You were the one who proposed choosing a fiancé, and now you're the one being ignored. You old man, why is your temper so unpredictable?"
No matter what, she had to get things settled today, so that Bai Wei wouldn't be dragged into choosing a husband again.
Qu Jian'er pushed aside Bai Wei and Bai Rushi's protective circle and stood in front of District Chief Bai.
I looked at the old man's face.
Qu Jian'er frowned: "Do you know your days are numbered, so you're in a hurry to see your granddaughter married? Do you want her to bring you good luck, or do you genuinely want her to marry into a good family?"
These words were spoken.
A collective gasp filled the air; everyone had only one thought in their minds: Qu Jian'er is doomed.
Everyone turned to look.
Look at this brave person who's courting death.
Bai Wei and Bai Rushi understood this even better, and they exchanged a glance before stepping forward.
Then I heard it.
District Chief Bai couldn't hide the shock on his face: "You... how did you know I don't have much time left!?"
Even though he was in a high position, he couldn't keep his composure when Qu Jian'er pointed out the truth.
He suffers from the same "illness" as Mr. Smith, due to mental damage in his youth.
