MTL - Mysterious Lord Gu’s Palm Treasure-Chapter 66 postpone the engagement
Chapter 66 Postponing the engagement
In addition to Lu Jinxiao who was carrying something, Bai Wei and the people who entered the door came in together after they met at the door, but Bai Wei didn't expect to see Bai Xun as soon as she entered the door, and she was still talking with her grandma.
But it's alright if she came back, she had to ask her about the morning thing.
What is the relationship between Bai Xun and Gu Jiuye? Why do they seem so close? Between them, and why? The attitude of the servants of the Gu family, including the housekeeper Xiang, towards Bai Xun is very different from her.
When was Bai Wei so completely ignored? From childhood to adulthood, she was a bright spot wherever she went. She has never been ignored so thoroughly by others. When she was present, how could she be robbed of the limelight.
They also heard some of Bai Xun's words just now. Bai Wei frowned subconsciously for Bai Xun's ignorance. This is the case every time. The grandma who just came back is angry. This person is really uneducated. .
Lu Jinxiao looked at the girl across from him, his eyes were so deep that he couldn't distinguish his emotions. Every time he met Bai Xun, he was very impressive, and Bai Wei went to Gu's house for treatment this time. She went with her.
Mrs. Lu said that Bai Xun doesn't look simple, and the chaos in the Bai family is really thorough. Those chaotic relationships make people continue to cut things out and become chaotic.
"Grandma, I'm back." Bai Wei retracted her gaze from Bai Xun and stepped forward to greet the old lady.
Lu Jinxiao stepped forward, handed the things to the servant, and politely greeted the old lady, "It's been a long time since I haven't seen grandma, your body still looks very tough, these are gifts for you."
Nian Wenying looked at the man opposite her with a smile on her face, "Excuse me, you come to see me every time, if you're busy, you don't need to come here."
"This is what it should be." Lu Jinxiao responded.
The old lady pointed to the sofa opposite and said with a smile, "Sit down first, in fact, you are all so busy with work, and Mrs. Lu seems to be very busy. You really don't need to come here in the future, it's all a family, not so much. Courtesy."
Lu Jinxiao nodded slightly and spoke to Bai Jianhe, "Uncle and aunt."
Bai Jianhe recovered from the way he was talking to Bai Xun just now, and returned to his cold and hard appearance in front of outsiders, and greeted Lu Jinxiao lukewarmly.
The future son-in-law came, and Xun Luxia was naturally very happy. She was busy greeting the servants to bring them snacks, and went over to make tea for Lu Jinxiao in person.
"If you have nothing to do, go upstairs for me first." Xun Luxia whispered in Bai Xun's ear with a smile on her face.
In front of outsiders, she really didn't want Bai Xun to greet relatives and friends of the Bai family. Besides, the look in Bai Xun's eyes at Lu Jinxiao last time made her still afraid.
The marriage contract with the Lu family is just a step away, and there is no way to make a fool of yourself at this moment. Bai Wei will soon be the young grandma of the Lu family.
Bai Xun shrugged her shoulders with a face that didn't matter, she was tired anyway, and she couldn't wait to go up to rest.
Bai Wei raised her hand and grabbed Bai Xun's elbow, with some force, the white cotton cloth rubbed against her skin, it was very clear, "You don't have to leave, our family can talk properly."
She emphasized the words "speaking". At this moment, Lu Jinxiao and the old lady were chatting with each other, and they didn't pay attention to the situation here.
Bai Jianhe looked at Bai Wei's movements strangely. He also wanted to ask why Bai Xun stayed at Gu's house all night and what happened.
Why did the Gu family specially leave Bai Xun, these must be asked clearly.
Bai Xun looked down at her holding her hand, and said in a distant tone, "Let go."
"You don't have to reject me so much, I want to ask you something, you wait here." Thinking of today's events, Bai Wei still has an uncontrollable desire.
But Lu Jinxiao and Nian Wenying are both here, no matter how angry she is, she must suppress it.
"Let go." Bai Xun repeated.
Bai Wei released her hand, but stopped Bai Xun who was about to go upstairs. Bai Xun raised her eyebrows and sat back on the empty sofa here, looking at Bai Wei with interest.
Bai Wei seems to be a little different tonight.
Since the other party wants her to stay, it is natural to be respectful rather than obedient.
Seeing her obediently sitting across from him, Bai Wei sat down beside Lu Jinxiao with satisfaction. Bai Xu saw the interaction between the two just now with doubts in his eyes.
There seems to be something wrong with my sister today. From the moment he entered the door, he found out that Bai Wei's mood is not the same as before.
In the past, as long as Bai Wei could stay by Lu Jinxiao's side, no matter how indifferent the other party's face was, she was very happy, the kind of happiness that could be distinguished from the appearance.
But today is a little different. Her eyes are no longer glued to Lu Jinxiao as before, on the contrary, she keeps running towards Bai Xun, especially when looking at Bai Xun, her eyes are even more different.
"How is your father's health? I couldn't come back when he had surgery last year. Thinking about it, it's really rude?" The old lady asked with concern.
The latter took the teacup that Xun Luxia had placed on the dining table with a smiling face, "It's just a minor operation, they've recovered a long time ago, and both of them are in good health, they asked me to say hello, because now I'm really sorry that the two of them are still abroad and can't come back right away."
Nian Wenying smiled and waved her hand, "No, no, you don't have to be so polite, they are all a family, and they are so busy with work. How can I, an old lady who has nothing to do, ask for so much, don't care about me."
"Grandma, you're joking, these are what the younger generation should do. This donkey-hide gelatin cake was specially ordered by my mother to bring it here. It has a great effect on nourishing blood and qi." Lu Jinxiao pointed to a pile of things on the table. .
The Bai family is a doctor themselves, so there is no need to tell others about the usefulness of medicinal materials. The old lady also knows that the donkey-hide gelatin cake on this table is the best available on the market, of course, the efficacy is also needless to say.
This child has a heart. When the Lu family treats their Bai family, they are always attentive. In the final analysis, it has something to do with Bai Wei.
The old lady also watched Lu Jinxiao grow up to the present, and she liked this child from the bottom of her heart, and not to mention other things, the Lu family's family background is there, and if they become in-laws with the Lu family, they will be especially helpful to the Bai family. big.
Although Bai Jianhe has taken over the Bai family for so many years, although the development has been good, Nian Wenying knows her son's temperament very well. She is soft-hearted and soft-hearted. It is impossible to develop the Bai family so much. The power is also beyond reproach.
Bai Jianhe and Lu Jinxiao exchanged simple greetings, and the two of them asked one after another about business matters, but Bai Wei was talking with the old lady by her side.
Bai Xun sat on the opposite side and listened to the words of a few people bored. Today, because she went back to see Bai Shanyuan, she was very tired at the moment. She put one hand on the back of the sofa. The phone vibrated.
"Bai Xun, where have you been today?" Bai Wei looked at Bai Xun and asked.
"Wandered around." Bai Xun responded.
"She went to Haicheng Medical University today." Xun Luxia put a plate of biscuits in front of Bai Wei, "We only met when we went to school with grandma."
Xun Luxia's words were clearly contemptuous, and she asked with some disdain, "Tell me what you think of Medical University?"
This girl is arrogant. She is not the same as a **** who dropped out of high school and did not finish high school. It is estimated that she has broadened her horizons in medical university.
"Didn't you also watch it, maybe you didn't take your eyes off when you went shopping." Bai Xun replied.
Xun Luxia was choked for a while, and she didn't dare to attack Lu Jinxiao. This dead girl really needs to teach her a lesson.
Lu Jinxiao turned his head to look at Bai Xun after hearing this and continued to talk to the old lady.
Bai Xun stretched out his hand and took out his phone from his bag and glanced at it. There were two messages, one was from Su Mei, and the other was from Yueli.
I'm not feeling well right now, what should I do? - Moon Li
Bai Xun raised his eyebrows, this person was obviously quite normal when he was on the phone just now, why is he uncomfortable now.
After replying two words, she glanced at Su Mei's message.
is a few paragraphs of news about the Bai family, which should be broadcast on tomorrow's news. They are all innocuous news, but they are also mixed with the marriage with the Lu family.
Bai Xun subconsciously glanced at the person opposite, these two are about to get married, right?
So, Bai Wei is about to marry into the Lu family.
Bai Xu sat opposite him and stared at the woman. He was still thinking about what happened at school at noon today, and there seemed to be a deeper meaning in what Bai Xun said at noon.
He also wanted to ask, but he didn't know how to talk to the woman across from him.
"Is Jin Xiao twenty-seven years old this year?" the old lady said, staring at the man opposite.
This Lu Jinxiao is two or three years older than Bai Wei. He has been mature since he was a child, but he is very smart and very attractive, and he is so big in a blink of an eye.
"Yes, grandma, she will be twenty-seven in two months."
His birthday and Bai Wei's birthday are a month apart.
Nian Wenying nodded thoughtfully, "Well, Bai Wei is also twenty-four years old, I think your marriage should be arranged. What did your parents say?"
This marriage should not have been brought up by their wife, but when the old lady came back last year, Mrs. Lu came to the door to tell about it. She originally planned to let the two children hold an engagement banquet last year.
It's just that the feng shui master that the old lady looked for sternly said that she couldn't get engaged last year, otherwise it would not only collide with Nian Wenying's zodiac sign, but also treat Bai Xu very badly.
The old lady was not happy when she heard this, and she rejected the Lu family on the spot. Mrs. Lu also knew the etiquette, and said that she would talk about this matter for the second year, and the time was up in a blink of an eye.
"Since grandma mentioned it, I will not hide it. If grandma comes back this time, we plan to come to the door to propose a kiss, and we have to come in the same way." Lu Jinxiao said obediently.
Here, Bai Wei was still talking to Xun Luxia. When she heard about the wedding, her whole body stiffened and her lips pursed.
"The two of you are not too young, and it was decided since you were young. If you don't get married this year, I don't know what the media will write about it."
Those reporters have always had the ability to catch the wind. Originally, a small problem could be explained to you as a huge mistake. The marriage of the Bai Lu family must be done this year.
"Mr. Lu also mentioned this to me. Mrs. Lu from the Lu family has already gone to marry the two children. Originally, we planned to announce the news of the marriage on Bai Wei's birthday, but President Lu said It will be announced after the birthday." Bai Jianhe explained to the old lady.
Bai Xun raised his eyebrows, but Bai Jianhe kept saying that he would introduce Bai Wei to everyone on her birthday. If the news of Bai Wei's engagement and the news of her publishing a book were announced on that day, there would be no one. noticed her.
Although she doesn't care about these things, it just sounds a little funny. People like the Bai family think they care about things. She cares, right?
"Yes, if grandma doesn't mind, the appointment will be officially hired next week. My father means that the appointment is essential and low-key." Lu Jinxiao opened his mouth and said.
The old lady nodded. The two families are not small households. A little fluctuation is incredible in Haicheng. It is better to keep a low profile, which can save a lot of trouble.
"These are all done according to the man's will, don't tell me."
Bai Wei couldn't help opening her mouth, thinking about what Xun Luxia was going to say next, "I think about the wedding, can it be postponed?"
As soon as these words came out, the entire Bai family turned to look at her, and even Bai Xu, who was about to put on headphones to play games, looked at Bai Wei with a little astonishment.
How much Bai Wei longed for this marriage, how much he liked Lu Jinxiao, but he could see clearly, why is it about to get married, my sister is not ecstatic, but retreats.
"Weiwei, what are you talking about? I think you are confused by joy." Xun Luxia said and touched her daughter's face.
Even Lu Jinxiao, who was on the side, couldn't help raising his eyebrows to look at her. Bai Wei and he grew up together. Although it was because of affection, most of them were Bai Wei who pestered him more, otherwise he would not choose to study abroad.
Until today, Bai Wei was still revealing the meaning of forced marriage in her words intentionally or unintentionally, so why did she clearly refuse.
Obviously, Bai Xun's actions made Bai Xun a little puzzled. She took the phone that was replying to the message and listened to Bai Wei's explanation slowly with her chin down.
"I will not only participate in the pharmaceutical awards this year, but also prepare several plans for the company to cultivate medicinal herbs, and my book is still being prepared. I am really helpless about the wedding, so I want to get married next year." Bai Wei opened her mouth and said.
She herself doesn't believe these words, why she has some rejection of her marriage with Lu Jinxiao, only Bai Wei knows.
"Nonsense." The old lady said in a sullen voice, "There are so many eyes staring at you two outside, you are all so old and still unmarried, and those who don't know think it's something wrong with you or with our family. Son?"
"I know there are a lot of rumors out there, but grandma, this year is not only my busyness, but also the Lu family. The Lu family is always very busy this year because of the opening of an overseas branch. It's suitable for marriage." Bai Wei said honestly.
The old lady put down the cup in her hand, and the ceramic bottom and the transparent glass-top coffee table made a sound of collision, "Girls don't have to fight so hard, if you feel too busy, the company is not empty, and in the future the company's You don't need to intervene in things, let Xu'er do it, what a girl has to do with so much tossing, it's true that a good marriage is true."
Bai Wei's face moved slightly. She had forgotten that her grandmother didn't like her in the company. In her eyes, girls were only suitable for husbands and children, and could not show their faces outside.
Bai Xu was suddenly called by the old lady, and he actually wanted to say that he didn't want to interfere in the company's affairs at the moment, he just wanted to go to school in peace.
Bai Jianhe also knew that the old lady was unhappy at this moment. If it was a Bai Xun, even Bai Wei had to disobey her, how could the old lady swallow her breath.
"Grandma, I don't want to join the company just now." Bai Xu snorted.
He is not as capable as Bai Wei, and he has been determined to join the company since he was a child, and now he just wants to finish university in peace and quiet.
The old lady glared at him but said nothing.
"Then what did Jin Xiao think?" Bai Jianhe turned the conversation back and threw it to Lu Jinxiao.
After all, it was he who brought it up. Even if there were any changes, it should be Lu Jinxiao. The old lady would always give Lu Jinxiao face.
"I don't have any opinion, but if Bai Wei doesn't think it's appropriate now, I can push it back." Lu Jinxiao spoke in a businesslike manner, his tone was indifferent and irrelevant, and he didn't seem to be talking about himself at all. Like a lifetime event.
Bai Xun's heart was clear, this Lu Jinxiao's feelings for Bai Wei should not be very deep, or the simplest relationship between a man and a woman is not even considered, otherwise, this will make it impossible to say this.
No matter what, he has to protect Bai Wei and take the trouble to himself. His words, but he threw the problem to Bai Wei again, and the old lady will directly blame Bai Wei.
This scene is not bad, Bai Xun got up and went to the bathroom, because at this moment, the person on the opposite side called.
All eyes in the living room were on Bai Wei, and no one noticed that Bai Xun had left here and went to the bathroom.
The old lady stared at Bai Wei opposite, "Tell me what you think?"
Bai Wei said calmly, "I want to delay the time."
Now this person is different from the person who couldn't wait to marry Lu Jinxiao before. Bai Xu raised his eyebrows. He couldn't interfere with his sister's decision, but grandma wanted him to join the company.
"I also clearly told you that this wedding must be done for me this year. You don't have to worry about the company's affairs from tomorrow. If you don't have time, don't write any books of yours, have you heard?" The old lady A straightforward decision was made.
"Grandma." Bai Wei called out.
She paid so much for the company, how could she be sentenced to death directly for such a trivial matter? Grandma would not accept her anyway, and she was unwilling to admit her achievements in the company over the years.
"There is no need to say more about this question." The old lady ignored her and looked at the person opposite her with a smile.
"I'm sorry, Jin Xiao, I made you laugh."
Lu Jinxiao nodded slightly, "You don't need to care about where grandma is. I also understand Weiwei. She is really busy this year, so at this juncture, it was me who proposed to get married."
"No, it's abrupt when a man is married and a woman is married. It's this girl who is ignorant, don't take it to heart." The old lady said softly.
"Then uncle and aunt, do you have any opinion?" Lu Jinxiao stared at Bai Jianhe and his wife, who said nothing.
Bai Jianhe glanced at his daughter, and then looked at Lu Jinxiao, who was opposite Qi Yuxuan. This child grew up watching him, so naturally he would not have any opinions, but Bai Wei suddenly changed his mind.
"Since that's the case, it's settled. After your husband has driven out the details according to the procedure, you can inform us." Bai Jianhe also had no objection.
Xun Luxia nodded following her husband's rhythm, "I don't have any objections either."
Even if there is, she can't say at this moment that the old lady's mood is not good. If she blatantly refutes the old lady with Bai Wei, isn't this going to happen.
Promise first, and talk about it later.
Bai Wei pursed her lips tightly. If this wedding was proposed before today, she would indeed accept it with joy, and she would be able to put down everything at hand to prepare for the wedding.
But now, how can you calmly accept something that is many times worse than that after seeing something better?
How could she despair to cut off all her hopes after giving her life a yearning.
"Sorry, I'm going to the bathroom." Lu Jinxiao got up and walked in the direction of the bathroom.
There were only people from the Bai family left in the whole living room, and Lu Jinxiao could say a lot of things when he was not naturally.
The old lady stared at Bai Wei across from her, her tone a little unpleasant, "Prepare for the wedding peacefully. Those jobs will either be handed over or given up."
"Grandma, it's normal for my sister to not want to get married, how can you do this." Bai Xu was dissatisfied with Bai Wei.
"Xu'er." Xun Luxia interrupted Bai Xu's words.
Bai Wei bowed her head, knowing that she couldn't resist the old lady at this time. She had clearly understood this truth for so many years, so she could only nod her head in response.
"I see, Grandma."
Promise first, and then adapt to the situation. In short, it is impossible for her to want to marry Lu Jinxiao now.
There is clearly a better future waiting for her, why should she be condescending.
The noble and evil face appeared in front of Bai Wei's eyes.
The next update will be around 7pm
