Chapter 159 Persuade
Chapter 159: Persuasion
Author: early spring flowers bloom
No one knew what Bai was thinking, but her behavior slapped the old lady in the face.
Then, the old lady felt aggrieved and said directly to Mr. Bai: "Okay, just stay here as long as I tell you. You will be there everywhere. Just watch the child honestly."
The old lady suddenly became angry, and everyone in the room fell silent.
Bai was secretly resentful, but unfortunately, her aunt Shao Lanxiang stopped her and she couldn't move even a little bit. She was afraid of making the old lady more dissatisfied, so she had to obey honestly.
However, her dissatisfaction with Shao Lanxiang had reached its peak, and she thought that when she returned to Peking, she would make a good complaint in front of her husband, so that Shao Lanxiang could have a taste of what it was like to be disliked by her natal brother.
Thinking about the scene in the future when Shao Lanxiang was taught a lesson by her own man, Bai finally felt a little better.
However, she looked at the hall, where the eldest girl Shao Yunshi was sitting with a happy expression, talking to her old aunt, while the slippery old aunt was holding her hands and smiling with a loving look on her face. It was really disgusting.
She looked at her daughter again, looking out the window with a pulled face. Although her youngest son was by her side, he wasn't very close to her. When she thought about her nephew who was still lying in the hospital, Bai's heart was about to boil again.
stand up.
However, she felt more comfortable after thinking about the losses suffered by those in the hall, especially the eldest girl, after Qian Tong succeeded soon.
Although there are few people in the Joy Luck Hall, they all come in different shapes.
Bai Shi pretended that no one else could see her ferocious look, but little did she know that her expression had caught the eyes of Shao Lanxiang and Shao Yunshi early on, and both her aunt and nephew curled their lips in disdain.
Old aunt Zhang had been observing people for many years, so she naturally noticed what was going on in the hall.
However, she knew it deep in her heart, so she only asked Shao Yunshi to talk without noticing any of the excitement, and she didn't even go to the old lady to join in the fun.
Shao Yunshi found the various living beings in the hall very boring. Although she looked at it calmly, she was also worried about the progress of the situation.
When everyone was doing nothing, Butler Zhang came. He had been busy everywhere earlier.
Seeing him, everyone's eyes lit up as they were almost impatient to wait.
Butler Zhang came to see the old man. He hurriedly saluted everyone and went to the study room in the side room.
When Mrs. Shao saw the old housekeeper like this, she became suspicious. She glared at her daughter and said in a serious voice, "Tell me, did something happen at home?"
Mrs. Shao finally realized something strange about her daughter this afternoon.
Shao Lanxiang didn't know the progress of the matter yet, so she couldn't talk nonsense, so she could only say carelessly: "Mom, it's true, I am thirty this year, if anything can happen, it will probably be about the ancestral hall, so Butler Zhang is in a hurry
Go back to your father."
The matter of worshiping ancestors is in the hands of men, so she can be satisfied with it.
After hearing this, Mrs. Shao looked at her daughter with some suspicion, but she also believed it.
But this also reminded her of her eldest son who had not come back.
Old Mrs. Shao couldn't help but stared at Mr. Bai with resentment, and said angrily: "That's probably the reason. Mingkang is not at home this year, so your father has to worry about these things alone."
Seeing that he had been fooled, Shao Lanxiang hurriedly agreed: "No, eldest brother is really thinking about work all day long. If I can't be promoted to dean this time, I think it's better to be transferred back."
Old Mrs. Shao still values her son. When she saw her daughter speaking openly about her elder brother, she patted her daughter unhappily and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? How old are you? You still speak so lightly, your brother."
He is so talented and willing to work hard, so he will surely achieve his wish."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely get what I want." Shao Lanxiang didn't feel sorry for her brother. She felt that what she just said was indeed a bit unpleasant, so she hurriedly smiled and agreed with her mother.
Old Mrs. Shao felt more comfortable after being coaxed by her daughter. Looking at the darkness outside, she couldn't help but sigh: "Your father probably asked everyone to gather here because your brother is not at home."
This explanation was good, Shao Lanxiang said happily: "No, it seems that my father still cares about my brother the most."
"You damn girl, how old are you, and you still taste bad?" Old Mrs. Shao liked the harmony between her children the most. After hearing this, she felt happy and happy.
Grandma Zhang felt relieved when she saw mother and daughter both laughing and joking, and she also joked a few words.
Suddenly, except for Bai, everyone in the room looked more relaxed.
In particular, Ximei, who had been standing next to Shao Yunshi, let out a loud sigh. She was really afraid that Mrs. Shao would be in a bad mood and come to teach the young lady another lesson. She was very irritated by this big deal.
She acted this way, causing Shao Yunshi to pinch her lightly.
After being warned by the young lady, Ximei quickly calmed down.
Although their little movements were hidden, the old aunt was still close enough to see them. However, she was not a talkative person, so she only smiled lovingly.
Different from the small waves in the Joy Luck Hall, the Shaojia Huaiyuan, where the sky was getting dark, was already rough in a secret place.
"Master Luo, someone is gathering here." Bu Yi said in a tight voice.
Luo Congbai had already heard the movement over there.
Then, he said calmly: "Well, it seems that this group of people is ready to take action."
"So, the old man's encirclement and annihilation strategy failed?" Bu Yi asked worriedly.
I'm afraid that may not be the case. Luo Congbai thought for a while and said noncommittally: "I don't know, the thief doesn't have the same intention. If Qian Tong wants to stop, he may not be able to do so."
Not to mention, Luo Congbai's guess was quite accurate. Didn't Qian Tong plan to rob the Shao family to alleviate the dissatisfaction of the brothers?
Moreover, Qian Tong didn't really want to stop, he was very ambitious.
It's just that selfishness controls his ability. Otherwise, the Shao family may not be able to win this game, and even now, it can't be said to be a guaranteed victory.
Now, Bu Yi admired Luo Congbai very much. Then, he thought about Luo Congbai's words, and it was true.
After Bu Yi figured it out, he felt a little more relaxed.
I saw that he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, but we can't just let these people go."
In fact, Bu Yi's worries are not unnecessary at all. You must know that if the thief escapes easily, he will surely counterattack more quickly.
By then, the Shao family will definitely be in purgatory.
The Shao family's New Year's Eve night was warm and lively, with a sense of sadness.
Bu Yi was worried about the trouble after the thief escaped.
Luo Congbai was not worried about what would happen to those thieves.
He knows that Mr. Shao is not a mortal. He has protected the Shao family for so many years by himself. How can he have no backup plan?
Now, he is only worried about what happens after he takes care of the bandits.
And think about it, this is an internal matter of the Shao family, and it may also affect the reputation of the women of the Shao family. Even Mr. Jiang who is far away in Nanjing has taken action, which shows how big this matter is.
Then, he sighed secretly, frowned and said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for that group of people to escape, but I don't know how the old man is planning to end it next?"
After hearing this, Bu Yi was silent for a moment, and then he thought about it and said, "Are you talking about Qian Tong and the Bai family?"
