Chapter 681 The Young Lady and the Repairman (11)
After a long period of rainy days, the sun was shining brightly today.
Two cars stopped at the gate of the manor and two groups of people got off the cars.
One of the men was in poor health and looked sick. He covered his mouth and coughed a few times, then said gratefully: "Mr. Lan, thank you for inviting me to Minghu Manor."
Lan Pigeon smiled and said: "Mr. Luo, you're welcome. Before Teacher Bai went to another place to participate in an academic forum, he repeatedly reminded me to treat Mr. Luo well."
Mr. Luo was the man who sold the manor to Bai Yu. His name was Luo Xiao, a middle-aged man. Because he was short of money, he had to sell the manor, but before selling it, he also made an agreement with Bai Yu that he would stay at the manor for a few days.
In this regard, Luo Xiao explained that this was his ancestral home, but he had never lived there before. Due to the pressure of life, it would be unfair to his ancestors to sell the ancestral home. He had to come here to worship his ancestors according to the customs of Minghu Town.
Every place has different customs and cultures. Although Bai Yu did not understand, he also expressed respect.
The manor is very large and there are many rooms. It is not a problem for them to stay for a few days.
Bai Yu and Wen Wan were not in the manor. Of course, they were worried about leaving Bai Yao in the manor to entertain unfamiliar people, so Bai Yu asked his apprentice Lan Pigeon to come to the manor.
At the same time, Bai Yu also muttered a few words in his heart. This family surnamed Luo did not come early or late, but had to wait until he and his wife were not at home.
There were a total of six people from Luo Xiao's side.
His wife, Cheng Li, is a lady of refined attire and elegance. Even though the Luo family is in decline and is said to have no money, she still has to maintain her appearance. His
eldest daughter, Luo Xuan, is bright and beautiful, which inevitably makes people feel a little more aggressive. She probably doesn't like this small country place and looks at everything with a bit of disgust.
The man standing next to Luo Xuan is her fiancé, a tall, long-legged, handsome man named Xiao Beichen. It is said that he is a lawyer who graduated from a prestigious university and has a bright future.
The girl standing at the end was Luo Xiao's second daughter. Her name was Luo Mianmian. She was a cute girl with delicate features, fair skin, long black hair tied into a ponytail, and cross earrings on her earlobes. She was really well-behaved and wild.
There was also a tall and thin boy next to Luo Mianmian.
The boy's name was Shi Li. He looked only seventeen or eighteen years old. It was said that he was still in high school. This time he had the opportunity to join in the fun during the summer vacation. He had a picturesque appearance, clean and delicate. It could be seen that he was somewhat similar to Luo Mianmian, but this was definitely not a boy and a girl.
In name, he was Luo Xiao's youngest son, but his surname was not Luo, and he was only close to Luo Mianmian.
The relationship of the Luo family is really intriguing.
Cheng Li glanced around and laughed, not knowing whether she was mocking someone: "It was originally our own business, but I didn't expect that I would become a guest the first time I set foot on this land."
Luo Xuan said dissatisfiedly: "When can we leave here?"
She had just held an engagement party with Xiao Beichen, and had originally promised to invite the sisters to have a meal together, but her father said he would come here, so she had to temporarily break the appointment.
Xiao Beichen is a cold person and indifferent to many things. Even though his family arranged for him and Luo Xuan to get engaged and they would get married in the future, he and Luo Xuan were not close. What
's more, Luo Xuan only knows beautiful clothes and jewelry. To put it bluntly, she is big-breasted and brainless, and she has nothing in common with him.
Luo Mianmian smiled, stood beside her father, and said obediently: "Dad, the scenery here looks great. If we have time, we can go fishing together."
Compared with the picky Luo Xuan, the obedient and soft Luo Mianmian, of course, pleases Luo Xiao more.
Luo Xiao had a fatherly smile on his face, "Okay, there is a lake not far from here, we can go there to play when the time comes."
Shi Li smiled, "I still remember that Dad caught a big fish last time, which surprised everyone around."
Luo Xiao immediately smiled and said: "You kid still remember it now."
The three of them were really happy talking.
Cheng Li secretly pushed Luo Xuan's arm.
Luo Xuan pretended not to feel it. She turned her face away and stood behind Xiao Beichen.
Luo Xiao loved outdoor activities, and fishing was a common thing. Luo Mianmian and Shi Li would often follow Luo Xiao out to join in the fun, but Luo Xuan didn't like these. She loved to be beautiful and hated to be in the sun. She would rather not have a good relationship with her father than go out fishing and sit on the river bank to be bitten by mosquitoes.
Cheng Li really had no idea what to do with this willful and brainless daughter.
Luo Xuan saw Xiao Beichen typing on his mobile phone. She curiously hugged Xiao Beichen's arm and asked, "Beichen, what are you doing?"
"It's about work. You won't understand even if I tell you."
Luo Xuan pursed her lips unhappily, shook off his hand and snorted.
Xiao Beichen was indifferent, and even though he knew his fiancée was angry, he didn't plan to appease her.
Lan Pigeon was a smart man, and in just a short while, he had almost figured out the relationships among the Luo family. It was said that rich families had a lot of trouble, but the relationships in his master's family were much simpler, and the Luo family probably had a lot of things going on behind the scenes.
Restraining the desire to complain, Lan Pigeon led a group of people into the iron gate of the manor with flower carvings. Coincidentally, the people who heard the noise inside also came out.
Lan Pigeon immediately introduced, "This is Bai Yao, Miss Bai, my teacher's daughter."
Several people's eyes fell on the girl who walked over, and they all had a bit of inquiry.
The girl who came over had long, slightly curly black hair. Her white cotton and linen suspender skirt just reached her knees. She was wearing a pair of white sandals.
She looked casual but very refreshing. A smile bloomed on her pretty face. "Hello, I'm Bai Yao. On behalf of my parents, I welcome you."
Good-looking people always make people care about them.
Luo Xuan raised her head and observed Xiao Beichen for a while. Seeing that Xiao Beichen still had that cold expression, she felt relieved.
Luo Xiao also smiled. "Hello, Mr. Bai told me about you. Today, when I saw you with my own eyes, I realized that Mr. Bai's daughter is even more outstanding than he said."
This was purely a polite remark. They met for the first time today and were not familiar with each other. How could he tell whether Bai Yao was outstanding or not?
Bai Yao didn't take it seriously, but just replied politely: "Thank you for the award."
Cheng Li said: "It's so sunny outside, it's so hot, let's go in quickly."
"Aunt Fang has prepared snacks, please follow me." Bai Yao turned around and led the way, walking in front.
