Chapter 1187 - 1191: Returning to the Ancestral Lineage (Part 1)
Chapter 1187: Chapter 1191: Returning to the Ancestral Lineage (Part 1)
Bai Bing glanced at her grandfather and noticed him nodding before she called out, "Hello, Third Grandpa, thank you for the compliment!"
After saying this, she ignored the group and turned her gaze to her own grandfather.
This left the old man from the capital city with a stunned expression.
It seemed he didn’t expect a young girl to dare ignore him; it was quite rude.
The people next to him were displeased, just about to reprimand her when he interrupted them.
"Interesting!" he thought to himself.
The next moment, Bai Bing continued holding onto the young man’s arm and moved forward to Master Bai with some confusion, asking, "Grandpa, is there a reason you called me back so urgently?"
She already knew in her heart it wasn’t anything good.
After all, she brought Lin Xi along because her mother secretly informed her.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have invited Lin Xi.
Master Bai’s smile slightly wavered but he didn’t respond immediately, pondering which words to use.
"Grandpa, why don’t we go to the study to talk?" She quickly glanced over the group from the capital and suggested, "Considering there are outsiders here, it’s not very convenient!"
"Moreover, some people always have ulterior motives; we must be cautious when necessary!"
"Ahem ahem ahem!" Master Bai’s smiling face suddenly stiffened, unable to maintain his previous calm demeanor.
He glanced apologetically at the old man from the capital as if explaining.
The old man from the capital forced a smile indicating he didn’t mind.
The middle-aged man, young man, and Aunt Mu next to him didn’t look very pleased.
This girl is really irritating.
Beside Bai Zhenyang, Bai Bing’s father, the look he gave Bai Bing was one of restrained anger, feeling extremely agitated.
Yu Cheng was Bai Bing’s mother.
Her brother Bai Xingye’s face showed even greater concern.
It seemed that after not seeing her for a while, their daughter/sister was not like they imagined anymore.
Now, her tone carried a sort of aggressive air.
In the past, she was utterly cold, hardly speaking more than two sentences.
Master Bai also thought so.
"Xiaobing, they are not outsiders, and the matter also concerns them; it’s fine to discuss here," Master Bai thought for a moment and said.
He also glanced at Lin Xi, "I didn’t expect you, Lin Xiaoyou, to have time to visit my house today!"
"But we have some family matters today, why don’t you wait in the living room for a while?"
"Ha!" Lin Xi’s face showed no change, but internally he snorted coldly, remaining unmoved.
This old man didn’t seem to have good intentions.
Wanting to send him away, is he joking?
However, before he could speak, Bai Bing intervened and said, "Grandpa, Lin Xi is not an outsider!"
"He’s my boyfriend!"
"I don’t think he needs to go to the living room. If you want him to, then I’ll just go with him."
"As for the matter, you can discuss and handle it yourselves; it doesn’t concern me!"
Her tone left no room for doubt.
Lin Xi’s lips curled into a slight smile; Bai Bing’s statement was quite impressive!
Seeing this, he decided not to say anything.
He indeed wanted to see what the Bai family and the Bai family from the capital intended.
His granddaughter’s behavior was puzzling, was this still the granddaughter who used to listen to him the most?
Growing up, indeed arms turn outward.
The next moment, Master Bai adjusted his emotions and first introduced to Bai Bing, "Your grandfather, I arrived from the capital decades ago."
"The family was based in the capital."
"Due to some conflicts, I haven’t returned for decades."
"Now my third brother has come to the door, wanting us to recognize our roots and ancestors. I think the key is your opinion!"
Is this it?
Lin Xi sat beside Bai Bing, furrowing his brow.
He felt it wasn’t that simple!
In fact, Bai Bing, being smart, also thought it couldn’t be so straightforward.
On the contrary, Bai Zhenyang seemed excited, quickly nodding, "Dad, I agree, I agree, this is a good thing!"
Because the Bai family from the capital, in his heart, was a very formidable entity.
In Huaxia, they absolutely were a first-class family.
Especially in politics, they wielded significant influence.
Combining them with the Bai family, they would become even more powerful.
By then, the Bai family might even become the most powerful family in Chuzhou City.
Yu Cheng was indecisive, besides, as the Bai family’s daughter-in-law, she actually never really had any say.
Bai Xingye opened his mouth, though he wasn’t very clever, his perception had recently improved a lot.
He noticed his sister and father’s expressions seemed opposite, so he closed his mouth again, before saying, "I will listen to Dad and Sis!"
Before Bai Bing could speak, the old man from the capital smiled, "Recognizing our roots and ancestors has been Second Brother’s long-held wish, and something I and Big Brother have always hoped for!"
"Right, Second Brother?" He looked at Master Bai asking.
Master Bai smiled without agreeing or refuting.
Though Lin Xi noticed, he still seemed tempted.
Indicating he indeed wanted to recognize their roots, this can’t change.
"Moreover, with us looking after you all, who would dare bully our Bai family?" The old man from the capital said.
A young man beside him interjected, "Like the Chen family trying to annex your business!"
"I see it as seeking death!"
"If they knew we were your backing, I doubt they’d have the guts!"
"Plus, your business scale could grow larger, with returns far exceeding the current, achieving the world top fifty isn’t impossible!"
The old man from the capital approvingly glanced at the young man for his statement.
Master Bai kept an unchanged smile, expressing no attitude.
But Lin Xi could clearly sense Master Bai’s mood wasn’t as seen on the surface, seeming slightly disdainful.
"Xiaobing, you share your thoughts!" He looked at Bai Bing again.
Bai Bing’s face didn’t look so good!
She wasn’t stupid!
The family business reached this height, thanks to whom?
Completely through their efforts!
The Bai family from the capital didn’t offer any real help.
Regarding recognizing their roots, she didn’t oppose.
But she wanted to clarify one point, "Recognizing our roots is possible!"
"However, our Bai family business remains our business, unrelated to you all in the capital!"
"As for reaching the world top fifty with your help, I find it unnecessary."
"Because we’re already among the world top hundred; given current growth speed, entering the top ten within two years is plausible!"
Her words left everyone, except Lin Xi, astounded, seemingly unimaginable.
Especially Master Bai, familiar with the family business, nearly spat his tea out; the family business just overcame a crisis?
How could it be among the top hundred?
Though Xiaobing never lied, he believed her!
What happened over the last month or so?
