Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Ningning! Are you okay?! ...
The group of people at the head of the group paused, and a group of men frowned, subconsciously looking for the source of the female voice.
Villain?
What a big villain?
The sunlight is blinding.
But no one spoke.
The eldest aunt opened her eyes wide and looked at Bai Qingqing who had not spoken a word. She then looked at Ao Xinyi and Bai Shuting who looked normal, as well as the children, who all looked normal. She couldn't help but look a little dazed.
Did you drink too much champagne just now?
Is she hallucinating?
From this angle, the aunt could hardly see Bai Qingqing's face clearly and could only swallow her surprise silently.
Maybe I was hallucinating.
She withdrew her inquiring gaze, not noticing that Bai Qingqing, who also had her eyes wide open, adjusted her expression, took a deep breath, and smiled with a hint of caution.
When she saw the huge crowd of people gathered around, she suddenly understood why the Bai family, as the biggest villain in the whole book, could still hold on until the end despite all the casualties.
This is a human wave tactic!
The men in the Bai family are all tall, especially the men standing in the front row, who can obviously be seen as brothers of Bai Shuting.
He had a suspicious expression on his face, as if he was guessing something. He looked like a gangster boss, and wearing a black suit he didn't look like a gentleman, but rather a thug in a suit.
Middle-aged men, each about 1.9 meters tall, stood in front of her. Some of them were even stronger than her father, giving her an extremely oppressive feeling. Even when they smiled at her, their smiles were very unfriendly.
Bai Qingqing didn't forget the original book, "After the fake daughter's background was exposed, she was favored by everyone in the group", and this favor also included the part about the Bai family.
Before her life story was exposed, Bai Mu Ning was the apple of the eye of more than 100 people in the Bai family, and she was a villain from the beginning. As the only one who opposed the heroine, she was naturally bullied and targeted by the entire Bai family.
The excitement and climax of the early part of the story all come from her.
Even though it’s just the beginning.
Bai Qingqing still faced the kind smiling faces and kept herself alert. Following Bai Shuting's introduction, she greeted the uncles one by one.
The lunch begins.
The symphony played softly, and as the music began, the kitchen staff lined up in a long queue, bent down one by one, brought the appetizers to the table, and opened the lids.
The Bai family's direct descendants and several close relatives sat at the largest long table, while the others sat in groups at the surrounding round tables. Occasionally, some people walked around with wine glasses in their hands, and naughty children played hide-and-seek under the tablecloth.
Bai Qingqing sat next to Ao Xinyi, next to Bai Muning.
The subordinates were the smiling third brother Bai Siqi and the silent Bai Songxu. The eldest brother Bai Lincheng sat next to Bai Shuting, and his eyes would occasionally pass over Bai Qingqing and linger on her face.
It was hard to tell what he was thinking, but Bai Qingqing felt that Bai Lincheng had no good intentions.
After all, the big brother last night just turned around and left, and his attitude was not very good.
But the handsome guy is pleasing to the eye, especially when compared with the row of uncles and aunts opposite, he looks more gentle and handsome, and it would be nice to eat with rice.
Many people at the table looked at Bai Qingqing, and everyone was curious about her.
Bai Qingqing pretended not to notice and didn't show it on her face. She gave Bai Lincheng a polite smile in return, but quickly retracted it, lowered her eyes, and waited for the waiter to pour the wine.
The two little girls sitting in the front row were wearing similar styles of half-knee skirts, one white and one black. One was gentle and graceful, while the other looked serious and tense.
Ao Xinyi shook Bai Qingqing's hand and said softly, "Don't be nervous. Although there are many people here today, they are all family members."
The two of them leaned their heads against each other, very close to each other. As Ao Xinyi spoke, he saw the wine in front of her, took the glass, poured a new glass of juice, and placed it next to her.
"Your back injury hasn't healed yet, so you should avoid certain foods these days, and don't drink alcohol for now. This is grape juice. If you don't like it, you can have hot soup later."
"Mom doesn't know what you like, so I asked the kitchen to prepare some extra dishes today. There's not much of each. You can try them and feel free to add more if you like them."
After all, they have been separated for eighteen years, and Ao Xinyi is still a little unfamiliar with Bai Qingqing, but she tries to understand her biological daughter from now on.
Although everyone who came today was here to attend the family reunion banquet, they were also paying attention to the couple's attitude towards their daughter who was found in the countryside. Seeing how close they were getting along, they secretly had some thoughts.
Auntie San said enviously, "Yiyi, you are so lucky to have two beautiful daughters by your side. You and the two girls will not be alone anymore, as they will have sisters to keep you company."
The eldest cousin's wife also laughed and teased Bai Mu Ning: "Ning Ning used to complain that she had too many brothers and insisted that you give her another sister. When you didn't, she cried and insisted on dressing Xiao Wu up as a girl. Now you have a sister too."
Bai Muning felt a little embarrassed and said coquettishly, "Cousin, that was when I was so old. Don't tease me about this anymore."
The relatives all laughed.
The cousin's wife took out her cell phone and asked Bai Qingqing, "I have a photo of Xiaowu wearing a skirt here. Qingqing, you must have never seen it. Can I show it to you?"
Bai Songxu, who had not said much today, was startled and tried to stop her in panic: "Cousin-in-law!"
"Hey, Qingqing is not a stranger, please show your sister what's wrong."
Everyone looked at Bai Qingqing with a smile, waiting for her to speak.
Bai Qingqing put down her chopsticks, wiped the corners of her mouth with a white towel, and smiled: "Okay, let's take a look."
Bai Songxu immediately fell silent.
He had been silent for a long time today, just to show with his attitude that although he could not stop this family recognition banquet, he did not accept that Bai Qingqing was his sister!
Everyone could see that his attitude was directed at them.
Looking at Bai Qingqing again, she was neither happy nor sad, and it was hard to tell what emotion she had. When the hot dishes were served, she started eating naturally.
The second cousin wiped her hands and turned slightly to make it easier for the waiter to serve the hot soup. She joked with Bai Songxu, "Sorry, Xiaowu, you are starting to have an idol burden."
My cousin's wife exclaimed a few times, and then raised her voice: "You don't know, many young girls like Xiao Wu now. My niece even asked me for tickets to Xiao Wu's performance. I heard that half of her class are fans of Xiao Wu!"
"That's a good thing, it shows that our Xiaowu is excellent." Auntie San was talking excitedly, pointing at the two children and laughing heartily: "Xinyi, our Bai family has Xiaowu and Ningning, but they have inherited your legacy!"
Third Aunt was still smiling, not noticing that the expressions of the people around the table had changed. Amidst everyone's thoughtful gazes, Bai Lincheng looked at Bai Qingqing with a hint of scrutiny.
"Bai Qingqing, you got into college ahead of schedule, that's great. What are your plans for the future?"
Auntie San stopped laughing and asked in surprise, "Oh, the college entrance examination hasn't even started yet, and Qingqing has passed it already?"
Bai Mincheng: "Yes, I was admitted to the University of Tokyo this year."
"Good! There is no bad person in our Bai family." The second uncle looked approving.
Bai Yancheng waited for Bai Qingqing's answer.
For some reason, she, who had always been noisy inside, was particularly quiet today.
Bai Qingqing: "No plan."
There was a moment of silence at the table, and even Third Aunt's smiling face froze.
In the silence, Bai Shuting suddenly said, "As long as Qingqing likes it, I will support whatever she wants to do."
"Yes!" Ao Xinyi hugged her daughter's shoulders intimately: "There is no plan. Life itself is full of adventures and excitement. Qingqing, mom also hopes that no matter what choice you make, you can be happy!"
The second uncle responded: "Our Bai family's children have the confidence to do anything."
Friendly laughter echoed in this space again, mixed with the children's cheerful shouts.
Bai Muning also smiled faintly along with everyone else, but there was a hint of bitterness on his face.
Auntie noticed her expression and was about to speak when she suddenly felt something nudging her legs. She jumped up with a startled “Ah!”: “There’s a dog under the table!”
Everyone at the table looked over in surprise and looked under the table.
The child's louder laughter came from under the tablecloth, running between a row of adults' legs.
A little girl in a white silk stockings and princess dress ran out from the second uncle's side: "Hahaha, Ao Ruize, Third Grandma said you are a dog!"
Third Aunt's face froze, and she said angrily, "How can you play under the table? You are making a fool of yourself! Come out now!"
The noise under the table was getting closer. Bai Qingqing lowered her head. A small black fuzzy head squeezed out from beside her legs and bumped into the staff serving the dishes. Bai Muning was so startled that he pushed his chair back.
Ao Ruize shouted, "I'm not a dog! If I were a dog, then so would you!"
After the little boy shouted, he quickly slipped out from the crowd, and the hot soup spilled from his head and all over the place. With the staff's exclamation of "Be careful", everyone at the head of the table stood up.
Ao Xinyi: "Ningning!"
Bai Muning stood up, her white skirt sticking to her thighs. She was obviously splashed with hot soup. Her fair skin turned red, and even her eyes were moistened. She endured the pain and forced a smile to Ao Xinyi: "I'm fine."
"How can it be alright? Your legs are all burned red!"
Ao Xinyi was so anxious that he stood up and left his seat. Bai Siqi and Bai Songxu also came over and hurriedly asked someone to bring ice packs. Even Bai Lincheng, who was usually steady, looked anxious.
Seeing that there was someone beside Bai Mu Ning, she calmed down, stayed where she was, and told Ms. Xu who came hurriedly to get her a skirt to change into, and looked at Bai Qingqing on the other side.
The hot soup was poured between the two of them, and since the distance was so close, she might have been splashed with it as well.
Bai Lincheng unconsciously held his breath to listen to her inner voice.
Just one table away.
Bai Qingqing moved sideways to make room for the people who were gathering around her. She stretched out her hand, grabbed the child who was about to run, and held him down where he was.
She wiped the soup off her thigh with one hand, pressed Ao Ruize's shoulder with the other, and squatted in front of him: "Your name is Ao Ruize? Who is your father?"
The boy in the tuxedo puffed out his chest, not looking afraid at all, with a vigilant expression: "My dad is Ao Teng! But I tell you, people who complain to adults are the worst!"
"And! You're hurting me! Let go!"
Misty black air lingered on Ao Ruize's shoulders, spread to his arms, and fluttered in front of Bai Qingqing's hands that were clasped around him.
Bai Qingqing didn't let him go, her brows furrowed:
[Something happened to Ao Teng.]
