Baiyun Villa is located about ten kilometers away from the city. It's just a first-tier big city like Baicheng, and it's by no means remote. Coupled with the convenient transportation, Xiao Zai arrived at his destination in less than a quarter of an hour in the car.
After paying the fare, Xiao Zheng followed the driver's directions and walked about a hundred meters east, when he saw a majestic villa in the distance. The four-story building is similar to a European castle style. A huge electronic door separates the inside from the outside, creating an air of inviolability.
As soon as Xiao Zhengfu approached, he announced his own door. The two security guards patrolling the gate did not embarrass him, let alone make things difficult in the usual way, and simply let him in. There was also a security guard who led the way.
The Baiyun Villa was gloomy and gloomy. From the gate to the main building, which was only fifty meters away, Xiao Zheng felt a strong sad atmosphere.
Just as they arrived at the gate, a figure suddenly appeared from behind the column on the left. It was Bai Wushuang.
Following him were four or five young men dressed in low-key clothes. Xiao Zheng has met two of them, but has never met the others.
"Xiao Bai." Xiao Zheng stepped forward and said with a gentle expression. "Condolences."
Bai Wushuang was wearing sackcloth and mourning, with an expression of indescribable sadness. This time, even his old enemy Xiao Zheng had no intention of dealing with him. He just nodded lightly and explained that he wanted to send the guests away, then turned and walked away.
At this point, Bai Wushuang's true feelings towards Xiao Zheng were revealed. cold!
Not even the most basic courtesy greetings. Send the guests away without looking back!
When it comes to status, Xiao Zheng is no weaker than those young men. But Bai Wushuang would rather entertain them than get along with Xiao Zheng. This is very telling.
Shaking his head, Xiao Zheng didn't care about Bai Wushuang's attitude. Go straight towards the door.
Entering the inner hall, Xiao Zheng saw at a glance the spiritual altar and some common decorations. Small groups of guests gathered together, whispering softly. Xiao Zheng didn’t recognize most of them.
Bai Zhengqing fell ill yesterday afternoon. Most of the people present today are Baicheng locals. People like Xiao Zheng who live in Sijiu City are very considerate to be here today. Many will not even arrive in White City until the day of the memorial service. Put down the wreath with all your heart. Then it’s time to get busy again.
How many of the people who can make friends with the Bai family are leisurely people? Even though Lao Lin arrived in Baicheng early, he brought his computer and materials and regarded the hotel as his work place.
"Mr. Xiao?"
Suddenly, an unexpected voice came from the left side. Xiao Zheng looked back, but it was quite unfamiliar.
"Are you—" Xiao Zheng asked politely.
This man is in his thirties, has good features, and wears a well-tailored suit. He took the initiative to come over and shake hands with Xiao Zheng, expressed his gratitude, and said, "Boss Bai arranged for me to pick you up. Boss Ye is also in the rest area. Do you want to go directly?"
The boss Ye in this person's mouth is probably the mother-in-law. Xiao Zheng nodded. He didn't know these people anyway, so there was no point in mixing together.
Unexpectedly, Bai Wushuang, who had just returned from seeing off the guests, would appear in the lobby as soon as the young man led Xiao Zheng away. He looked evil and said, "Li Mu, what are you doing?"
"Reply to the young master." The young man walking beside Xiao Zheng said softly. "Boss Bai asked me to invite Mr. Xiao to the side hall."
Bai Wushuang snorted when he heard this, and said with cold eyes: "That's where the family members stay. If Mr. Xiao is tired, you can go to the lounge we specially prepared."
The young man known as Li Mu felt quite embarrassed when he heard this.
Obviously, he is Bai Wuxia. But he didn't have the courage to offend Bai Wushuang. After all, the Bai family is now headed by Bai Wushuang, at least on the surface. This is why it was Bai Wushuang, not Bai Wuxia, who was greeted and sent away.
Some tasks are best done by family members to be more cautious. As for people like Xiao Zheng who do not have a close relationship with Bai Wushuang, it is only reasonable to go backstage to meet Bai Wuxia.
There is really no point in talking to Bai Wushuang.
But even so, Bai Wushuang still couldn't tolerate the existence of a small court in this villa. A being even more powerful than him!
That is his uncle Bai Wuxia!
When Boss Ye came, he just comforted him softly and went to the side hall where Bai Wuxia was in charge.
Even many of the elders who clearly had to report to Bai Wushuang, the head of the Bai family, only chatted with the young boss for a few more words and then hurried to the backstage.
This is not something Bai Wushuang can accept.
He felt neglected! There is even an arrangement where Bai Wuxia works as a handyman at the front desk, but receives the real big shots!
The anger that had been building up all morning finally broke out. And the target happens to be Xiao Zheng, whom he hates so much!
Everyone in the lobby turned their attention here. They recognized Xiao Zheng's identity, the soul of Xinao. A young leader who is rising rapidly and even Old Demon Lin will not underestimate him easily.
In terms of family background, he may be slightly inferior to Bai Wushuang. But when it comes to ability, he must be above Bai Wushuang. No one can deny this. Even Li Mu.
Under Bai Wushuang's push, the situation became a little embarrassing. Li Mu originally wanted to be tough and finish the work assigned by Boss Bai. But facing Bai Wushuang's domineering attitude, he really didn't have a good enough starting point.
After all, he is just a wage earner from the Bai family. He was so exhausted that his father once followed Bai Wuxia and had some old feelings for him. But these resources alone are not enough for Li Mu to confront the head of the Bai family.
Otherwise, not only him, but also his father will be implicated.
Bai Wushuang's eyes were extremely cold.
The sadness on his face that originally showed the loss of a loved one was replaced by anger. Everyone knew that the young master of the Bai family was furious and directed all his anger at Xiao Zheng.
How to deal with the latter
Xiao Zheng is not a roundworm in Bai Wushuang's belly, and cannot understand Bai Wushuang's inner activities at this moment. But one thing he was sure of was that Bai Wushuang's rage at this moment was not just because of the incident in front of him, and it might not even be directed at him.
But even so, Xiao Zheng was quite annoyed.
Why, I, Xiao Zheng, am so easy to bully. If you want to start a fire, use me as a brazier
I've got you into trouble!
Xiao Zheng's eyes gradually became colder, and he stared at Bai Wushuang sharply and coldly: "Xiao Bai, I understand that you are not in a good mood after losing a close relative."
After a pause, Xiao Zheng changed the topic and slowly approached Bai Wushuang: "But I also warn you, don't mess with me. I have no obligation and no interest in helping you calm down the fire."
Xiao Zheng's tough attitude surprised many people at the scene. But there are also many people who think it is normal.
After all, you are a guest. As the host, you can't be so harsh, right
What's more, Mr. Xiao is not a small character. Why should someone else bear the pain for you when someone in your family dies
The scene was at a stalemate for a while, and the air was filled with the strong smell of gunpowder, which was extremely pungent!
