Chapter 140 Chapter 140 Bai Siqi is getting married?! ...
The fifth episode of "Heart Signal" is about to start filming.
As usual, Jiang Muning would return to the Bai family a few days in advance to make preparations in advance and also have time to spend with the family where she had lived for seventeen years since she was a child.
The Jiang family took Jiang Muning's feelings into consideration and tacitly allowed her to continue calling Ao Xinyi and Bai Shuting mom and dad.
Bai Qingqing just decided on a mountain the day before yesterday. These past two days, she has been lying at home reading proposals from world-class architectural masters and has already started choosing the architectural style.
I heard Jiang Muning talking to the Bai family on the phone, calling them Dad, Mom, and Brother all the time. His tone was much warmer than the last time they met. I guess he has recovered from losing the golden finger.
The attitudes of several people in the Bai family are somewhat different from usual.
Bai Qingqing guessed that maybe because of Li Qingqing's domestic violence case, they were in a bad mood.
Anyway, they were in a bad mood, but Bai Qingqing was in a good mood.
Although the whole incident had nothing to do with her, she just felt like she had let out a sigh of relief.
The men in the Bai family all treated her well. Even Bai Songxu became much kinder and learned to talk to her nicely. He even held the songs he wrote in front of her, hoping that she would like them.
Bai Qingqing went out in the middle of the night and burned all the songs he had written in the garden.
She had no interest in listening to them, let alone releasing an album with these songs, but what if Li Qingqing liked them?
In short, Bai Qingqing has been living a good life recently, her cultivation has been going smoothly, and her faith has been rising rapidly.
The Heavenly Dao in Jiang Mu Ning's body was also extracted and placed in the gourd in her hand for research. Although there has been no progress for some time, Bai Qingqing always felt that it would be useful to keep this thing in her hands.
The main thing is that this thing is unique in her hands, otherwise she could try to strangle this strand of Heavenly Dao and see what happens.
If only I could get some more from somewhere...
Bai Qingqing was lying in the corner of the sofa, originally looking at the design drawings, but now she was distracted, her fingertips tapping on the side of the tablet.
【Use this as an introduction...】
"What are you thinking about?"
Bai Lincheng's voice sounded from behind her head. Bai Qingqing was startled. Her fingertips tapping on the tablet stopped and she looked up. She saw Bai Lincheng standing silently behind her with a cup of water.
His eyes dropped indifferently, as if he could see through her thoughts.
"I was thinking, Third Brother has been meeting Miss Zhuang quite frequently recently, maybe something good is about to happen." Bai Qingqing smiled with a row of neat little teeth and spoke.
The novel does not describe Zhuang You in such detail, and he has never even eaten at the Bai family.
But the day before yesterday, Bai Siqi not only took Zhuang You to visit the gallery he opened, but also had dinner together in the evening. He then personally sent Miss Zhuang home and did not return until very late.
Ao Xinyi was talking on the phone to Aunt Tang in the living room. Aunt Tang asked whether the flowers and necklace sent by Siqi were prepared by her or were the child's own idea.
Of course Ao Xinyi didn't know that his son had given him a gift. He showed the first sincere smile on his face in recent days and said that it was Siqi's own idea.
Bai Qingqing felt that the flapping of her little butterfly wings was having some effect.
Bai Lincheng stared at her face and was silent for a moment.
Little liar.
Bai Lingcheng: "The third brother got married. What good does it bring to you that makes you so happy?"
[He wants to change his own fate, what good can that do to me? It will just make the plot go a little further.]
[But now it's useless to just collapse the plot! Ah!] Bai Qingqing roared in her heart, not noticing that Bai Lincheng's ears moved.
[I have to change my strategy and find another way, otherwise I will really have to retire in the mountains here.]
Bai Qingqing tapped her fingertips on the tablet out of habit: [I miss my babies so much. I'm sure I've taken good care of those lazy kids.]
[It's a pity for Miss Zhuang... She is alone, and her love life is in vain. ]
Bai Qingqing's mind was changing rapidly, and she felt melancholy for a while, but she did not forget to answer Bai Lincheng's question: "If Third Brother can really find someone he likes, of course I will be happy for him."
"Happy for him?" Bai Lincheng raised his eyebrows.
"Why, your brother found someone he likes and can get married, so aren't you happy for your brother?" Bai Qingqing felt that Bai Lincheng's question was inexplicable.
"Besides, Zhuang You really likes Third Brother. It's good for someone to get what they want."
Bai Qingqing smiled.
[Bai Siqi is determined to change her fate, and Miss Zhuang can get what she wants. If she is unhappy after marriage, she can just divorce.]
[Tsk, why don't you remind Zhuang You to sign an agreement before marriage, so as to avoid any loss in the future divorce.]
Bai Lingcheng nodded slowly: "You really care about the mood of Miss Zhuang."
"Marriage is a matter between two people, so of course you have to care about it."
Bai Lincheng saw her turn her head back, and knowing that she had misunderstood him, he did not explain.
Bai Qingqing is different from them. She is the one who lives in this fake world, but she knows very well that the world they live in is just a fiction.
To her, they should all be fake talents.
However, she was able to consider in her heart whether Zhuang You's unrequited love was too one-sided and whether she would be happy after marriage.
Think of her as a real person.
"By the way, what do you want to talk to me about?" Bai Qingqing asked as she continued to flip through the architectural drawings.
Bai Mincheng: "Nothing."
Bai Qingqing: “…”
So he is free?
Just seeing her lying there, you came over to chat with her?
Bai Lingcheng left with the cup of water, and as he turned around, he left a message behind him: "The third child is getting married, and our family will host a luncheon to entertain the Zhuang family today."
"It's not a very formal occasion. It's just a meeting between the two families to see how the third brother and Miss Zhuang are getting along. If everything goes well today, we will officially start discussing the wedding date."
"Anyway, you'd better get up and clean up."
Bai Qingqing suddenly sat up from the sofa, her eyes wide open.
[Is Bai Siqi really getting married? 】
【With Zhuang You? 】
[Is it his own idea or... why is it so sudden? ? ]
The news that Bai Lincheng brought was so loud that Bai Qingqing jumped up from the sofa. She really couldn't sit still any longer.
She clicked on one of the architectural design drawings and sent it to Ao Teng, saying that this was the one she wanted. After sending it, she hurriedly got up with the tablet and ran upstairs to change her clothes.
It was Ao Xinyi who decided to have both families meet again before the formal wedding process.
This is a last chance for the children on both sides to regret.
Tang Hanmei also thought it made sense, and even felt that one meal was not enough and she should eat three more meals.
The two friends hit it off immediately and thought that it would be better to have the meal today.
Everyone in the Bai family was busy.
The news that it was better to do it today than to wait for a day quickly spread throughout the Bai family, and everyone was as surprised as Bai Qingqing.
Bai Heyun and Bai Songxu both gathered in Bai Siqi's room and saw that there were quite a few people in his room, filling boxes with his packed paintings and transporting them to the basement one by one.
On the easel in his studio room are his new works.
Green fields, blue sky, nothing else.
Bai Heyun: "Brother, why were all these paintings shipped out?"
Bai Songxu: "Third brother, you are getting married? Why so suddenly? You have only met Zhuang You a few times and you want to marry her? At first, when mom asked you to go to her concert, you were reluctant, right? Later, when she invited you, you refused to go. Why do you want to marry her now?!
Third brother, do you have any leverage over her?"
The two younger brothers rushed in and talked a lot.
Bai Siqi only replied to Bai Heyun: "I plan to paint a new batch."
He leaned on the windowsill and drank wine. The amber wine shone through the crystal glass, reflecting tiny pieces of light all over the floor.
Bai Heyun was silent for a while, as if accepting it: "Whatever wedding gift you want, I'll give it to you."
Bai Songxu was so anxious that he kept jumping up and down, and he went to Bai Siqi's side and said, "Fourth brother, please stop making trouble. Why do you have to send wedding gifts now? Third brother, I want to ask you a question, please speak up!"
Bai Siqi took a sip of wine and said, "There is no handle. Zhuang You is very good. Her music is beautiful. I like her very much. She... has an interesting personality too. So I want to marry her. Is there any problem?"
"There's a problem, a big problem!" Bai Siqi saw that his third brother's studio was almost emptied in such a short period of time. He stamped his feet in anxiety and felt panic in his heart.
"You don't like Zhuang You, so why would you be with her..."
"How do you know I don't like it?" Bai Siqi interrupted him, as if she had heard something funny, and curled her lips: "Then what do you think I should like?"
"I……"
Bai Songxu's mind suddenly appeared Bai Muning's face.
But the next second he quickly closed his eyes and quickly dispelled the image that appeared in his mind.
That was Mu Ning, their sister. No matter who it was, it couldn't be Ning Ning. Even if she was a child of the Jiang family now, she was still their sister.
Bai Songxu's mind turned and he felt that he should be thinking of a girl like Mu Ning.
"...gentle, generous, intellectual, and considerate. Once you get to know her, you'll find that she's lively, bright, and full of life. Third brother should like someone like this. This kind of person is a good match for you."
Bai Siqi realized that the person his brother was describing was Mu Ning.
He lowered his head, looked at the wooden boxes being carried out of the room and smiled.
"Zhuang You and you are talking about girls of different types, but how do you know that Zhuang You is not suitable for me, and I am not suitable for Zhuang You? Maybe... there will be another possibility in my life. How can I know if I don't try?"
Bai Siqi patted Bai Songxu's shoulder, placed the half-full glass of wine on the table in the studio, lent a hand to the worker who was moving the box, and lifted it onto the cart.
"There will be a family dinner at noon, and you can meet Miss Zhuang. She is very interesting and you should like her. By the way, be nicer to her at noon."
After Bai Siqi finished speaking, he smiled, said hello to Bai Heyun, and left the room.
Bai Songxu clenched his fists anxiously: "I have seen Zhuang You before. I saw him at home last time!"
The gentle and elegant cello player is very polite when speaking and eating. She is far inferior to Ningning.
Bai Heyun knocked on his brother's head and said, "Your third brother's marriage doesn't mean you and Miss Zhuang will get married. Why are you in such a hurry?"
After he said that, he left.
Liu Bai Songxu was alone in the same place, thinking, and always felt that something was wrong.
Until the last painting in the room was cleared away, leaving only the painting of green fields and blue sky standing quietly on the easel.
Bai Songxu looked at the painting and murmured, "Because Third Brother, you... look unhappy."
It seems like things weren't supposed to turn out this way.
Everything around him now seemed strange to him.
*
Family dinner at noon.
The Zhuang family couple Zhuang Yanbai and Tang Hanmei brought their siblings Zhuang You and Zhuang Yi to the Bai family for a banquet.
The first time today was at the Bai family, and the second time was when the entire Bai family went to the Zhuang family for a banquet.
Although it was not a meeting ceremony, in order to show their importance, Ao Bai and his wife brought their five children to the event in formal attire, and greeted them early in front of the Bai family's main building, and together they welcomed the four people from the Zhuang family to the garden.
Bai Siqi personally took the gift from Zhuang You and opened it to see that it was a watch. He put it on his wrist and said, "Thank you. I like it very much."
Zhuang You looked at him wearing the watch, then studied his face, then glanced down to Bai Siqi's wrist: "Well, I have a good eye."
Bai Songxu had been stealing glances at the Zhuang siblings since they came in.
At this time, seeing the banker's lady smiling gently and praising her own vision, she secretly imitated her speech and said, "What a pretense!"
Bai Heyun pinched the flesh on his forearm and leaned in to bite his ear: "Be careful, your third brother specifically told you to be nicer to others."
Bai Songxu was not convinced.
It’s not like Third Brother really likes her!
It would be better if it fails, then the third brother can be with the person he really likes!
The elders from both sides were talking in the front, while the younger ones were much more casual in the back.
Zhuang You's brother Zhuang Yi walked to Bai Songxu's side without knowing when, grinning with his little tiger teeth: "Be careful, my sister is a musician, she has a very good ear."
Bai Songxu immediately fell silent.
I didn't expect that I was caught red-handed when I was secretly saying bad things about someone else by the girl's family.
He was panicking but refused to admit defeat, sneering: "So what if she heard it? Can she still hit me?"
"Little brat." Zhuang Yi curled his lips and smiled, then walked to the front with his hands in his pockets.
Bai Songxu didn't expect that Zhuang You, who looked like a noble lady with elegant manners, would find that her brother Zhuang Yi was such a reckless person. He was so angry that his face was full of disbelief.
Pointing at his back, he asked Bai Heyun: "How old is Zhuang Yi? He called me a little brat?"
Bai Qingqing walked at the end of the crowd, strolling around watching the show.
She couldn't tell the faces of the Bai family members, so she took the opportunity to look at the faces of the four people in the Zhuang family.
This marriage...can be successful.
Before the ceremony of meeting each other came to an end, the news of the marriage between the Zhuang and Bai families had spread throughout the East City.
Photos of the banker's car driving into Shengwan were circulated on the Internet. From the beginning of the lunch, a group of people's cell phones kept buzzing, all from friends who were asking for news.
Soon the news reached Beijing and reached the ears of the Jiang family.
The Jiang family was also having lunch. When Jiang Muning heard the news, he was so shocked that he stood up, his face turned pale, as if he had suffered a great shock.
Everyone at the table looked at her, wondering why she reacted so strongly.
Ji Ke held her slightly trembling hand that was pressed on the table and asked softly, "Ningning, what's wrong?"
Nie Wanqing was also confused.
The third child of the Bai family has reached the age of marriage, so it is normal for him to talk about marriage. Why does Ningning look like she has suffered some kind of blow?
There were no outsiders present, so Nie Wanqing asked directly: "Is there anything wrong between the third son of the Bai family and the Zhuang family?"
"No, I'm just a little surprised." Jiang Muning reacted, forced a smile, his face regained some color, and he slowly sat down in his seat again.
While answering everyone: "My third brother has never had a girlfriend in the past few years. Suddenly, the news that he is getting married is really shocking."
Nie Wanqing smiled: "It's about marriage, that's it, you young people's feelings come easily, there is nothing inappropriate about the external factors, the Zhuang family and the Bai family are also well-matched, so of course it will be quick. Speaking of which, you and A Ke have been engaged since childhood..."
Nie Wanqing's voice gradually became unclear in my ears.
Jiang Muning held the chopsticks, his thoughts already wandering to what happened at this point in his previous life.
How could things be so different?
At this time in her previous life, her feelings for Ji Ke were growing stronger, and her family held an engagement party for them again. It was at this time that Bai Siqi began to drink heavily.
It was from this time that his mental state began to become a little abnormal, and alcohol accelerated this process.
Logically speaking, he should have met Bai Siqi's second personality, Li Xin, for the first time on the night of the engagement party half a month later.
In the following month and a half, Li Xin pursued her madly and painted countless portraits of her. Two months later, he committed suicide by cutting off his hands in the early morning.
"... I think half a month later is a good day. How about holding an engagement party for you and Ake?" Nie Wanqing said to the two children with a smile.
Ji Ke saw that Jiang Mu Ning was absent-minded and answered for her: "After all, today is the meeting ceremony for the third son of the Bai family. I'm afraid Ning Ning has no time to think about herself. Uncle, aunt, why don't we talk about it tomorrow? Anyway, I will listen to Ning Ning."
Nie Wanqing and Jiang Jin were both very happy.
Nie Wanqing: "What you said makes sense, but you can't just listen to our Ningning. The engagement banquet is a big deal, and it depends on what your old lady thinks."
Ji Ke: "I will discuss it with grandma when I get back later, but I believe that grandma will also give priority to Ningning's opinion."
Jiang Muning was distracted and had no idea what they were talking about. He nodded perfunctorily, still feeling confused and uncertain.
Could the news coming back from East Market be wrong?
After all, I didn't hear it from the Bai family themselves.
Even though Bai Siqi's life trajectory deviated greatly from each other twice, why didn't the Bai family tell her that she was engaged? They knew that she would be back in two days.
Even though the date was urgent and she was not expected to be there, she did not hear any news at all beforehand.
No, that's totally wrong.
Did Bai Qingqing do something again...
Before she asks the Bai family later, she has to ask Bu Yufu what the current situation is in the East Market!
…
Bai family.
The luncheon came to an end and both the guests and the hosts were enjoying themselves.
The parents on both sides looked at the two children getting along with each other, and their eyes were full of satisfaction with each other's children.
Especially Zhuang You, who made no secret of his love for Bai Siqi at the table. Zhuang Tang and his wife also loved Bai Siqi a lot.
Judging from the atmosphere today, it is estimated that both parties will discuss the marriage in advance before the three family dinners are over.
The only one who was in a bad mood during the meal was Bai Songxu.
After the meal, when Ao Xinyi asked Tang Hanmei and the children to sit at home for a while, Bai Songxu was the first to stand up and prepare to leave. After being glared back by Bai Shuting, he sat back down mumbling to himself.
The banker saw that the children couldn't sit still, so he stood up and said he wanted to have some tea.
The parents of both sides went to chat and let the children get along with each other as they pleased. Bai Siqi originally said that he would show Zhuang You around the house, but before leaving, Zhuang You asked him to wait for a while and walked up to Bai Songxu.
Bai Songxu thought she just happened to pass by.
She didn't want to walk on such a long road, but insisted on walking on the road in front of her.
Bai Songxu glared and said in a bad tone: "Miss Zhuang, you don't want me to make way for you, do you? There's such a big space next to you."
Zhuang You smiled at him, her fiery red dress fluttering like flames: "Didn't you ask me to wait? Let's not make things so troublesome. I'm here now, just tell me what you want to say."
Bai Songxu was stunned, and his face instantly turned red, as if it was burned by flames.
He muttered something under his breath when he sat down just now!
Zhuang You approached him and smiled as if he was an idiot: "You just heard what my brother said. I have very good hearing."
