Chapter 131: "My Child Has Made Me Bad"
Bai Xiangsu was so angry that her eyes went dark. Don't think she doesn't know that Chu Sangning hasn't gone out all day and is staying at home now.
"Chu Sangning, Chu Sangning——"
She was shouting outside, while Chu Sangning was eating the melon seeds that Jiang Xingyan had peeled himself, and drinking the soda that her uncle had brought back.
She refused to see guests, and Bai Xiangsu had no choice but to go back, still stubborn and refusing to admit defeat, "Dad, they don't come because they don't have good taste, let's eat first."
"What do you know as a girl? I'll go by myself."
Captain Bai was very disappointed with the young lady. He left after saying a word of reproach. With Captain Bai outside, Chu Sangning really couldn't stay any longer.
After opening the door and looking in the direction he was looking, Captain Bai saw Jiang Xingyan, Chu Sangning, and Qiao Xiangye in the room.
"Oh, Old Qiao, you made it so hard for me to find you." Captain Bai laughed loudly, as if he was unaware of what his daughter had done, and walked straight in to greet Qiao Xiangye.
In his opinion, the identities of the people here are different from his. Since he is the team leader, he can only say a few more words to Qiao Xiangye and ignore the others.
Chu Sangning curled her lips and looked down upon such men. What kind of person was he? He had eyes for the sky and looked down upon others with his nose.
"Old Bai, dinner is almost ready. I won't go today." Qiao Xiangye pushed and the two of them argued back and forth, trying to evade each other as if they were playing Tai Chi.
They knew it well. Captain Bai laughed and bowed to Chu Sangning, "Niece, my Xiangsu and you were a little unhappy a few days ago. Please bear with me."
"She is young, so as her elder sister, you should be more considerate of her."
Captain Bai made it seem as if Chu Sangning was wrong. When Chu Sangning realized what was happening, she was confused. Who was whose sister? How could her only child have a younger sister?
Without the intervention of Jiang Xingyan and his uncle and aunt, Chu Sangning smiled calmly, pursed her lips and asked: "Excuse me, how old is Comrade Bai?"
"Seventeen, probably about the same age as you."
Chu Sangning laughed immediately, "Then it's wrong to call me sister. I'm not even as old as Comrade Bai, so I don't deserve to be called sister."
Captain Bai's face turned pale and blue, and he was speechless. Chu Sangning was angry and didn't want to cause any grudges between the two families, so he smiled and said, "Uncle Bai, what brings you here today?"
“Hahahaha.” Captain Bai felt humiliated and wanted to turn around and leave, but he couldn’t. “Niece, my Xiangsu was wrong. You should be more tolerant of her as my younger sister. I spoiled her.”
Qiao Xiangye interrupted Captain Bai with a sullen look on his face, "What do you mean my Sang Ning has to take care of me? You are really shameless, Bai. Your daughter is spoiled, but my niece is also pampered. Why should I give in to your daughter?"
He Shulan also nodded, "Yes, I care about my niece too. If we talk about feelings, I probably love Sang Ning more than my own son."
The conversation between the adults was very confrontational, and Chu Sangning and Jiang Xingyan had no time to interrupt. After the three of them finished speaking, Captain Bai forced a smile with difficulty and bowed to Chu Sangning to apologize.
"Niece, I'm so sorry. Please give your uncle some face and let's go have dinner."
"Oh, stop it - you didn't even invite my Sang Ning, so we won't go. I'm afraid we'll be too angry even if we go." Qiao Xiangye called out the names directly without any hesitation.
Captain Bai had never been so embarrassed before. Ever since he became the captain, or in other words, since he got married, everyone had given him some distance. This time, he was actually wronged by Qiao Xiangye.
A lack of patience can lead to big plans. Hold on, hold on. Captain Bai clenched his hands, his chest trembling with anger.
"Don't worry, I'll ask Xiangsu to apologize to my niece later. That child is not a bad person, but I got used to her."
Qiao Xiangye also knew that Captain Bai was petty, and if he lost face again, he would probably bear a grudge again. He was the first to stand up and raised his hand: "Let's go, let's go eat."
Zhou Yongzhuo, who was at the end, looked inconspicuous, but in fact he was squinting his eyes and looking coldly at Captain Bai. So that's what happened.
He hadn't been home for two days and didn't know that his daughter had been bullied.
As an elder, he couldn't argue with a girl, so he decided to deal with her father.
Captain Bai just felt creepy and cold all over. He turned around subconsciously and met Zhou Yongzhuo's eyes. He felt like he had seen him somewhere before.
He doesn't have many advantages, except for one thing: when he meets a big leader, his eyes are as sharp as a ruler. As long as he has seen him once, he will definitely remember him clearly the next time.
"Old Qiao, who is that behind us? Why does he look so familiar to me?" Captain Bai eagerly pushed aside Jiang Xingyan and followed behind Qiao Xiangye, asking curiously.
Qiao Xiang snorted disdainfully in his ambition. Everyone would remember this flatterer. Fortunately, Zhou Yongzhu liked to drink and stay at home in the past few years, otherwise, he would have been flattering again.
Captain Bai kept asking questions, and Qiao Xiangye said vaguely, "No one. It was just one of my soldiers. We just happened to run into him today."
Soldiers under his command? Captain Bai was skeptical, but he couldn't recognize them, so he had to invite everyone to go in and have dinner first.
"Xiangsu, come here and apologize to your sister Sang Ning. Daddy is going to criticize you for what happened a few days ago. You shouldn't have done that. Your sister is an educated youth who went to the countryside to contribute to the motherland. Don't do that next time."
Captain Bai pretended to be serious when criticizing in front of Qiao Xiangye and the others, but in fact he did not dare to say anything harsh. After he said just two words, Bai Xiangsu's eyes turned red with unhappiness.
"Dad, I'm right. She was the one who instigated someone to steal my shoes. I did nothing wrong. Why should I apologize to her?"
Qiao Xiangye looked at the farce in front of him with a half-smile. They didn't come here to watch the Bai father and daughter quarrel. If Bai Xiangsu didn't apologize, then there was no need to eat this meal.
"Hurry up and apologize!" Captain Bai saw Qiao Xiangye turning around and about to leave, and without caring about anything else, he grabbed his daughter's arm and brought her in front of Chu Sangning, and said in a deep voice.
Without saying a word, Bai Xiangsu knew that this was a sign that her father was angry. She shrank back and instantly became much more obedient. She pouted her lips in grievance and timidly apologized: "I'm sorry, I was wrong."
There was no sincerity, and no intention of repentance. Chu Sangning looked up and saw the unwillingness in Bai Xiangsu's eyes. She waved her hands and said, "It's okay. I forgive you."
She did not repent, and she was also falsely forgiving. This false affection was easily broken.
Because Qiao Xiangye had come, several families who were watching upstairs also came with their families. Everyone seemed to be having a great time. The men were drinking and chatting, while the women were taking care of the children and worrying about their meals.
"Chu Zhiqing, which valley in the countryside did you go to?" Bai Xiangsu asked in a sarcastic tone.
