This was not the first time that Bai Shu met the Xiao family leader, but during this meeting, she clearly felt that the Xiao family leader was getting older.
Xiao Lingchen is the middle-aged son of the Xiao family. The difference between father and son is nearly forty years. Now the Xiao family is approaching the age when he wants to do what he wants, his organs are beginning to fail, and his energy is not as good as before.
He just had a kidney transplant operation a few years ago, and the wrinkles on his face are a bit old. In the past, he would dye his hair to cover up the white frost on his head, but now his physical condition is not suitable, and he looks more and more old.
But he was in a pretty good mood today. As soon as Bai Shu entered the door, he heard his loud laughter in the room, as if he was showing off to others:
"714! She studied literature and is the number one scholar, hahaha! My old Xiao family is also the home of the number one scholar, so we must have a big banquet! Celebrate, celebrate!"
The person who was talking to him laughed at something, and the Xiao family owner was so angry that he just slapped the armrest and shouted:
"What's the matter if your surname is not Xiao? This is the future young lady of the Xiao family. Why isn't she a member of the Xiao family? I know you, old man, are jealous. You are jealous that your daughter-in-law is not as outstanding as my daughter-in-law! Hey, I won't be fooled. I’m so mad at you—”
daughter-in-law…
Bai Shu suddenly realized who the head of the Xiao family was talking about, and her cheeks immediately turned red. As soon as she moved, she was grabbed by the man holding her hand next to her.
The man put his arm around her waist and stepped forward, with a smile in his voice and his hands tightening: "Dad, you know Tongtong is thin-skinned. If you scare her away, where will I get a wife?"
The head of the Xiao family widened his eyes, turned his head and saw them, and suddenly became happy: "If Tongtong runs away, it must be your fault. You can't catch your wife by yourself. It's because you are incompetent and a waste. How dare you say that? "
Mrs. Xiao smiled softly and sat beside him, carefully holding his arm. Xiao Qingwan stood behind, her face also full of virtuous and well-behaved.
Just when he looked up, he saw Baizhu and Xiao Lingchen approaching in an intimate posture, and their smiles flashed stiffly.
There were also a few imposing old men sitting in the room. They were friends of the Xiao Family Master, and the entire Forty-Nine City would be shocked if their identities were revealed.
But now, they were all laughing so hard, and an old lady laughed loudly: "Old Xiao, you are becoming more and more naughty as you get older. How can you still have the aura that made Southeast Asia tremble with a glare?"
"Why should I scare them? My daughter-in-law is here. If I scare her, Ling Chen won't fight for me..."
The head of the Xiao family was shouting, and he really looked like an old naughty boy. He pushed away Mrs. Xiao's hand without looking, and greeted Bai Shu enthusiastically. Bai Shu walked up to him and said hello. His smile became brighter and brighter, and he kept saying "Hello". road:
"Okay, okay! You don't know that Tongtong is the most well-behaved child, and she always remembers my body in her heart." He turned to show off to his old friends, "Tongtong even cooked for me to help me survive the medicinal diet, which is great Eat it! It’s my brat, huh, she said she felt sorry for her and wouldn’t let her do it because she was afraid of being tired—”
Mrs. Xiao's expression remained unchanged, and Xiao Qingwan couldn't control her expression. Especially when she heard the words "daughter-in-law", she almost drowned in jealousy. There was even the slightest trace of anger in her eyes when she looked at Bai Zhu. Resentment circulates.
Bai Shu looked at it and remained calm. Xiao's father didn't notice, he was still staring, raised his finger and pointed at Xiao Lingchen, fiercely:
"I saw that she was just jealous, jealous of whether I had him or not. I muttered angrily and refused to let Tongtong do it! In the end, I just listened to her tell her the recipe once and wrote it down for the chef. You look stingy!"
Xiao Lingchen looked calm: "That's because A Tong has to go to school, and we can't delay her study."
"Then the college entrance examination is over now, no need to delay, right? Tongtong got the top prize! Do you agree now?"
