As expected, the living room in the house was filled with the Bai family.
The old man Bai Song is sitting on the chair of the Grand Master, holding a cane in his hand, calm and powerful, like a needle holding the sea.
The second uncle Bai Nong, the third aunt Bai Hong and other elders are all here, but uncle Zhao Dongqiang is nowhere to be seen, thinking that the matter before coming here has not been resolved yet.
In addition, fourth uncle Bai Hai, whom he had not seen for a long time, also came, and many younger members of the Bai family were present.
The atmosphere at the scene was solemn, and everyone was dressed solemnly.
It seemed like he was welcoming some distinguished guest.
"Grandpa, second uncle, third aunt, fourth uncle..."
Bai Yanran greeted in a low voice.
But everyone didn't look down upon him well.
"Stand aside and wait."
Bai Song said calmly.
Bai Yanran walked aside honestly.
At this time, the old housekeeper hurried over and shouted: "Master, here we come! Here we come!"
When Bai Song heard this, he stood up in excitement and said, "Hurry, follow me to greet you!"
Everyone stood up and followed the old lady outside.
Bai Yanran was stunned for a moment. Before she could react, she saw a figure walking into the living room quickly.
“Old lady, you don’t have to greet me personally!”
The visitor said calmly, but without being polite, he directly sat down on the chair next to the Grand Master's chair.
Bai Yanran looked at the person who came and her expression changed: "Zheng Jie?"
She never expected that the Bai family would put up such a big show just to welcome Zheng Jie!
"Yanran, why don't you call me? You're just like your useless parents! They have no rules!"
The second uncle Bai Nong glared at Bai Yanran and said.
Bai Yanran's face turned ugly. She stood up and shouted: "Mr. Zheng."
"Yanran, there is no need to be polite between us! We have known each other for a long time, but I think you should get to know me better!"
Zheng Jie said lightly, with a touch of greed and viciousness in his eyes.
"That's it, Yanran, if you have nothing to do, go eat and drink with Mr. Zheng. Don't stay in the company all day. With your ability, you can't save the company. If you want to bring the company back to life, you have to rely on Mr. Zheng!" Bai Hong said with a smile.
"Who is Mr. Zheng? Our small company is not worth mentioning in other people's eyes."
"You can't find someone as outstanding as Mr. Zheng even with a lantern. What a blessing it will be if you can marry Mr. Zheng."
The Bai family members all flattered him.
Bai Yanran lowered her head and said nothing.
Zheng Jie glanced at her and then said calmly: "Mr. Bai, let's not talk nonsense. You specially invited me here. What's the matter?"
Mr. Bai smiled and cupped his hands: "Young Master Zheng, let me tell you directly. I invite you to come today. Firstly, I have prepared some small profits and want to borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha. Secondly, I want to consult Young Master Zheng about tomorrow's Pearl Tower dinner.
.”
Zheng Jie was not an idiot. When he heard this, he immediately understood everything.
He sneered, with disdain on his face: "What kind of banquet is at Mingzhu Yaota? Even the Bai family wants to attend the banquet? Don't you think it's embarrassing?"
The Bai family looked embarrassed.
"Master Zheng's hands and eyes are astute. I heard that he has some relationship with Queen Leng. We are also bold and want to ask you to get involved. We have no other intention!" Bai Nong said with a smile.
Zheng Jie frowned.
In fact, the Zheng family does have some relationship with Queen Leng, but the relationship is not deep, and it is the relationship between her father Zheng Shengyuan. Therefore, the Zheng family only received two invitation letters, and no other members of the Zheng family got any.
If he wanted to get an invitation letter for the Bai family, how could Zheng Jie have the dignity to do so?
But you still have to pretend.
"It's easy to talk about. I can make a call, but your Bai family's class is too low. If Queen Leng despises your low status, there's nothing I can do about it," Zheng Jie said calmly.
When the Bai family heard this, they were overjoyed.
"Thank you, Mr. Zheng!"
"Let me just say that Mr. Zheng is reliable in doing things!"
"Yanran, after the banquet starts later, you have to have a few more drinks with Mr. Zheng!"
"Don't neglect Master Zheng!"
The three aunts and the six wives said quickly, with a tone that could not be denied.
Zheng Jie smiled lightly, with pride in his eyes.
You just have to find a reason to shirk the invitation letter and so on. As for the benefits, you still have to accept them.
Bai Yanran bit her lips tightly, her heart filled with anger.
Only then did she understand that the old lady called her back because he wanted her to drink with Zheng Jie!
Bai Yanran turned her eyes and said in a deep voice: "Since Mr. Zheng has such a relationship, why not call Queen Leng now!"
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Jie's expression suddenly changed: "Yanran! Don't you believe me?"
"That's not what I meant, it's just that it's best to confirm this matter first!" Bai Yanran said calmly. Seeing Zheng Jie reacting so violently, she became even more suspicious.
Zheng Jie slapped the table and said angrily: "Miss Qingbai thinks I'm here to trick you, the Bai family? In this case, it's okay not to call me! Farewell!"
As soon as the words fell, I had to leave.
"Master Zheng, don't be angry! Don't be angry!"
Bai Nong, Bai Hong and others stood up in a hurry to persuade them.
"Bastard! Yanran! Who told you to be so presumptuous?" Bai Song even hit his cane, furious.
"grandfather!"
Bai Yanran still wanted to open her mouth to defend.
Snapped!
A slap came.
Bai Yanran covered her face and backed away, looking at the old man in disbelief.
"Apologise to Mr. Zheng!" Bai Song growled.
Bai Yanran's eyes were filled with tears, her teeth were about to bite her lips, she was angry and angry.
"Why are you still standing there? Apologize!"
"Apologise quickly!"
"Why are you so mean?"
Bai Nong, Bai Hong and others criticized him one after another and were filled with indignation.
Bai Yanran was going crazy.
People's hearts are against me, what are you going to fight against me with?
Zheng Jie stood aside and sneered secretly, his eyes full of amusement.
At this moment, the housekeeper, Uncle Ma, suddenly walked over quickly, holding a stack of exquisite invitations in his hand.
"Master! Someone outside suddenly sent some invitations! They said they were for the young lady!" Uncle Ma shouted anxiously.
"What?"
The Bai family members were startled and rushed forward.
Zheng Jie couldn't help but be stunned and quickly raised his eyes.
"Is this...an invitation letter from Pearl Tower?"
Bai Song picked up an invitation letter, his face full of excitement.
Everyone couldn't help but rub their eyes, thinking for a while that they had seen it wrong.
"Who sent it?"
Bai Song asked urgently.
"I don't know, that person just said that the old slave should be handed over to the young lady!"
Uncle Ma shook his head.
"Who will send invitations to our Bai family for no reason?"
"In the eyes of Queen Leng, our Bai family is nothing. There is no way that Queen Leng will take the initiative to invite us."
"What's the matter?"
All the Bai family members were puzzled and discussed in whispers.
"Could it be that Mr. Zheng did it?"
At this time, Bai Hong suddenly said.
Everyone's eyes turned to Zheng Jie.
Bai Yanran also looked incredulous.
Zheng Jie was stunned for a moment, then coughed twice and smiled faintly: "I actually knew that you all wanted to attend this dinner. After all, this dinner is a matter of life and death for the Bai Group..."
He spoke ambiguously, neither admitting nor denying.
But the Bai family was overjoyed and convinced.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Zheng has always cared about my Bai family and had already prepared the invitation letter!"
"Master Zheng, thank you very much!"
"Young Master Zheng is really a master of heaven and earth! I admire you! I admire you!"
"I got five invitations in one go! My God, I'm afraid it's the Bai family that has the most invitations if not the entire Mingzhu Tower Dinner Party."
"so amazing!"
Everyone gave a thumbs up and couldn't stop praising him.
Besides Zheng Jie, who will help the Bai family now?
"Yanran! Have you seen what Mr. Zheng is capable of?"
Bai Nong stared at Bai Yanran and said expressionlessly.
"Some people thought that Mr. Zheng was just pretending! Now you should understand who is the clown, right?"
Cousin Bai Zhixin sneered, her face full of ridicule.
"Oh, something with eyes is like blindness!!"
Bai Hong pointed at Bai Shuangxue's nose and cursed.
People either laughed or cursed.
"You stinky girl, why don't you come here and apologize to Mr. Zheng?"
Bai Song used his walking stick and scolded loudly.
Bai Yanran's autumn eyes were filled with tears and her eyes were red. She was helpless under the oppression of all the elders, so she could only lower her head and say in pain:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zheng..."
"Yanran, I said that you don't know me very well. If it weren't for your sake, do you think I would do my best?"
Zheng Jie smiled lightly, his eyes full of pride.
"I...I'm not feeling well, excuse me..."
Bai Yanran couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere anymore, turned around and ran out with tears in her eyes.
