Chapter 1141 As a Parent
Wenren Baiyi doesn’t often appear in public, and she always appears in front of people with white hair and long clothes, looking lazy and relaxed.
But today, as the mother of Wenren Qiqi, she deliberately changed into another look.
She still has white hair, but her long hair that was originally loose is now tied up in a bun, and she is wearing an exquisite and slim cheongsam, which makes her look noble and elegant.
What surprised Wenren Qiqi was not only that she had left last night but came back today, but also that her face clearly showed traces of time.
Although she still looks like an elegant beauty after the sedimentation of time, her age can still be seen between her eyebrows.
At least she looked like mother and daughter standing next to Wenren Qiqi. When
Wenren Qiqi saw her for the first time, she felt a strange sourness on the tip of her nose.
When Wenren Baiyi first saw her deliberately transforming into a twenty-year-old appearance for Jiang Yucheng, her eyes were full of contempt and disgust.
She felt that she had lost the demon bones of the Wenren clan by doing this.
However, the mother who always had to keep herself in the most beautiful appearance, in order to cooperate with her daughter who was deliberately "aging", was willing to "age" in the eyes of outsiders.
"What are you looking at?"
Wenren Baiyi glanced at Wenren Qiqi, whose nose was slightly red, and rolled her eyes at her gracefully, "Aren't you going to invite me in?"
Although she said so, at the same time, Wenren Baiyi had already walked straight past Wenren Qiqi and Jiang Yucheng and walked in. Upon hearing the news,
Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang hurried downstairs and saw Wenren Baiyi sitting casually in the living room, at Mr. Jiang's main seat.
Just like Jianjia at the time.
Mr. Jiang knew the other party's identity, so he naturally didn't care about these trivial matters. He and Mrs. Jiang smiled and greeted him,
"Are you my in-laws?"
When he got closer and saw the in-laws' appearance clearly, Mr. Jiang didn't show much surprise.
Mrs. Jiang was a little jealous.
Although Wenren Baiyi is playing an old lady of the same age as her today.
But there are also differences between old ladies.
For example, the Wenren Baiyi in front of her perfectly fits the old lady Jiang's imagination of what she would look like when she grows old.
Wenren Baiyi was quite polite to Old Master Jiang, and only said,
"I visited the house without the owner's permission last night. Later, I went back and thought about it, and felt that I should still visit you formally and say hello to you."
In fact, Wenren Baiyi didn't think of this last night.
It's just... Later, Xuxu sent her a message alone.
Wenren Baiyi knew that the two elders of the Jiang family wanted to meet her "relatives".
Wenren Baiyi was reluctant to meet Jiang Yucheng at first, and she never thought about having a formal relationship with these people in the Jiang family.
Just like she married He Zhicong at the beginning, but she never thought about being someone's daughter-in-law.
But Qiqi is obviously different from her.
Even for the sake of this daughter, Wenren Baiyi thought, she should make this trip.
No matter if it is a human or a demon, once there is a soft spot, it is easy to compromise for the other party step by step.
She is like this now.
Seeing her polite attitude, although Old Master Jiang was surprised in his heart, he did not show it on his face, and took the Jiang family to sit with her very considerately.
Perhaps because she did not want to show her weakness in front of the other party, Mrs. Jiang perfectly demonstrated the social skills of a wealthy old lady today. She was very generous and friendly throughout the whole process, and she only praised her daughter-in-law Wenren Qiqi without any criticism.
Wenren Baiyi listened quietly throughout the whole process, touching the little pretty fox fur that had come over to serve as a handle obediently at some point.
Then he slowly opened his mouth and said the first sentence to Mrs. Jiang since he entered the room,
"I heard before that you don't like my daughter and granddaughter very much, so you don't say very nice things... Now it seems that the rumors are really misleading."
Wenren Baiyi said this lightly, and even said it with a smile.
The moment these words came out, the hall suddenly fell into a strange silence.
Jiang Xuxu silently ate the snacks in front of him, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Wenren Qiqi looked at Wenren Baiyi with some surprise, and his expression clearly asked, how do you know these things?
Wenren Baiyi can naturally know what she wants to know, and she may not know less than Wenren Qiqi.
For example, the young people of the Jiang family opposite were not very friendly to their Xuxu at the beginning.
Wenren Baiyi mentioned all this in front of the Jiang family, not for the purpose of settling scores later.
In her opinion, being excluded, despised, and ridiculed are not a big deal.
Every demon cub is bound to go through some hardships in the process of growing up. If it encounters obstacles or makes itself unhappy, it will find a way to solve it.
The demon clan will only protect their cubs when the demon cubs are crushed by disparate forces.
However, she can choose not to settle scores, but she cannot help but express her attitude.
Let the Jiang family know that although this is the Jiang family, no matter whether it is Qiqi or Xuxu, there is never no one behind them.
Wenren Baiyi was not the type who was willing to make boring small talk, so after "reminding" old lady Jiang, she quickly got up.
Although she could have left directly, in order to follow her "personality" today, Wenren Baiyi let the Jiang family send her to the door. She
did not let them continue to send her out, and only let Jiang Xuxu and Wenren Qiqi accompany her out.
When passing by the garden, she saw a wooden turtle lying on the lawn with a look of despair.
With just one glance, she saw through the remaining ten-tailed demon power on the other party, and also knew who the consciousness trapped in the turtle came from.
He casually mentioned,
"This turtle is well-fed. It can be kept for a few more days."
Jiang Xuxu had no memory of Jianjia, and Jiang Huai and the others had not yet informed him of the exchange of consciousness between Uncle Jiang and the wooden turtle. Therefore, when Jiang Xuxu first saw the turtle, he was a little surprised.
But it was only for a moment.
After sensing who the consciousness in the turtle was, Jiang Xuxu nodded readily,
"Yes, you can keep it for a few more days."
Although she didn't know exactly how Jiang Yumin ended up like this, she could roughly guess.
If Jianjia attacked him, it must be Uncle Jiang's fault.
So be it.
Over there, Jiang Yumin saw Jiang Xuxu walking by, and felt that the temperament of Jiang Xuxu today was obviously different from her yesterday.
Guessing that it might be the real Jiang Xuxu who came back, Jiang Yumin immediately seemed to see a savior, and quickly ran towards Jiang Xuxu with his limbs side by side, trying to ask her for help.
However, even if he felt that his limbs were about to smoke, as a turtle, his speed was limited.
Before he could crawl to Jiang Xuxu, Jiang Xuxu and the others had already walked away.
When the three figures walked to the gate, it was as if in a flash, and the three people became two people.
The two people were still calm as usual, and walked forward on their own.
Jiang Yumin saw it with his own eyes, and he felt a shock all over his body. He subconsciously stopped his steps and shrank his head into his turtle shell.
Forget it, forget it.
He should wait a little longer.
Jiang Yumin was silent and shut himself up, while Jiang Xuxu, who had just walked out of the gate, received a call from Tu Xingzhu.
There was a noticeable noise on the other end of the line, mixed with the intermittent voices of Tu Xingzhu and Lu Nanxing——
"Xu, Xu, you...are...in trouble...ah!"
