Chapter 439 Bai Lin Dinner
Bai Rui looked at Bai Muye with a sullen face, and his voice was even trembling with anger: "Bai Muye, do you know who you are talking to?"
Bai Muye's eyes were particularly bright, and he looked at Bai Rui quietly and asked: "I only ask you one question, tell me the truth, when have you really regarded me as your family?"
"I..."
"Think about it first." Bai Muye reminded calmly.
This time, Bai Rui did not continue to be angry about his interruption, but looked at Bai Muye with a bit of a loss for words.
"After all, I still have some conscience in my bones." Bai Muye smiled lightly, with a bit of sorrow, a bit of bitterness, and a bit of self-mockery in his smile.
Lin Zijin beside him looked at Bai Muye with great distress. The two have been together for so long, and she has never seen such a complicated smile on her brother's face.
Because she empathized with everything Bai Muye felt, Lin Zijin almost couldn't help but shed tears when she saw Bai Muye's smile.
I couldn't help but gently hold Bai Muye's hand.
"In fact, deep down in your heart, you have never considered me as your family, right? If it weren't for my great-aunt, the Empress, who suddenly returned to the family and publicly supported me, I'm afraid there would still be a large part of you who never considered me as a family member in your hearts. There are even some people who think about how to kill me all day long..."
Bai Rui on the other side said with some difficulty: "The family does not care about you enough, but if you say someone wants to kill you, this... this is too much."
"Mr. Bai, really? Do I need to tell you how many open and secret arrows my old man Bai Sheng has blocked for me over the years? You, the head of the family, are still not thick-skinned enough!" Bai Muye looked at Bai Rui and chuckled, "Forget it, people with different paths cannot make plans together. If you don't consider me as your family, don't make such a meaningless attempt. Mr. Bai, thank you for your call today, but I refuse."
After Bai Muye finished speaking, he didn't give Bai Rui, the current head of the Bai family, a chance to speak, and hung up the communicator directly.
Lin Zijin gently leaned on Bai Muye's shoulder and said, "Brother, if the relationship is so tense, won't Chu Yue's ancestors... have some thoughts?"
"She? Do you think she cares about this?" Bai Muye asked back.
Lin Zijin thought about it and couldn't help laughing: "Probably not."
"No," Bai Muye shook his head: "She definitely won't!"
Bai Rui, whose communicator was hung up, still sat on the luxurious wooden chair and couldn't speak for a long time.
After a long time, he slowly took a cigar from the side, picked up the cigar cutter, carefully cut off the end, and then lit the cigar little by little and took a puff.
In the smoke, his eyes, through the faint smoke, seemed to reveal a bit of regret.
After a while, he pressed a button on the communicator and said, "Bai Muye will not come to today's family gathering. He still has deep resentment towards the family. During this period, let everyone restrain their children. If I hear that anyone publicly gossips about him, I will not forgive him."
There was silence on the other end of the communicator for a while, and someone said lightly: "Are you so sure that he can grow up?"
"The Queen's vision is not wrong." Bai Rui said.
There was silence on the other end, and after a while, he said: "Okay, I will ask someone to restrain him. But Master, what we have done over the years... I am not optimistic."
"After all, his surname is Bai, and he has the blood of the Bai family in his bones!" Bai Rui said in a deep voice and hung up the communicator.
Lin Zijin and Bai Muye held hands and strolled in the manor to relax.
Although he scolded the head of the Bai family and rejected the invitation very straightforwardly, Lin Zijin knew that his brother was not feeling well.
My brother is not the kind of heartless and ungrateful person.
I can only say that the Bai family behind my brother has hurt my brother too deeply.
To be precise, some people in power in the Bai family... no, the vast majority of people, have been too heartless to my brother's lineage.
She felt the same way.
Because her story is similar to my brother's.
In some ways, she is even worse than my brother.
At least my brother has an old aunt to protect him, but she... doesn't.
Neither of them spoke, because there was no need to continue to review anything. If the scene just now happened to her, I believe she would make the same choice.
At this time, Lin Zijin's communicator suddenly rang.
Lin Zijin glanced at Bai Muye and suddenly couldn't help laughing.
"Brother, it seems that we are really famous now!"
Yes, really famous!
Whether it is the Bai family or the Lin family, these two high-ranking behemoths finally saw their immature but upright figures.
Lin Zijin answered the call casually, and a projection of a woman appeared in front of him. She looked a bit like Lin Caiwei.
Although it was the first time he saw her and he didn't know her, Lin Zijin instinctively felt a little friendly to her.
"Hi, little Zijin, hello!"
In the projection, the woman smiled and waved at Lin Zijin, and then when she saw Bai Muye holding hands with Lin Zijin, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Wow, you are Xiaobai, right? Can I call you that?"
The woman's voice was very pleasant, and her attitude was particularly good. Even if people wanted to get angry, it was difficult to get angry directly at her, after all, you can't hit a smiling person.
People like Bai Rui, who want to put on airs right away, make people angry at first sight.
Lin Zijin looked at the woman and asked, "Who are you?"
"Looking at my appearance, you should be able to guess three points, right? My name is Lin Caixia, Lin Caiwei's sister." The woman still smiled and looked at Lin Zijin, "If you don't bother me, you can call me Sister Xia!"
Xia... Sister?
Are you all so funny?
According to seniority, you are my aunt, okay?
You are so old, you just look younger, can't you stop making trouble?
Lin Zijin looked at the person in the projection speechlessly, and suddenly asked seriously: "You contacted me because you want me to attend that family dinner?"
"Oh, little Zijin is really smart! It's a pity that I haven't been around to watch you grow up these years," Lin Caixia smiled and looked at Lin Zijin and said, "Then our little princess, do you have time?"
Lin Zijin smiled and declined: "Thank you for your kindness, I think I won't attend."
Lin Caixia on the other side seemed to have expected it, and said: "Actually, it's nothing, because those people who make you hate basically won't show up."
Lin Zijin thought for a while: "Really? For example, Lin Qi and Lin Yue?"
"Huh? Have you seen them?" Lin Caixia was obviously a little surprised, and looked at Lin Zijin with a little surprise.
"They all want to kill my brother, and they also want to sell me," Lin Zijin smiled, "They are so bad."
"They really deserve to die! Don't worry, girl, such people will never appear at today's family gathering!" Lin Caixia promised Lin Zijin with a serious face, "When someone bullies you, Sister Xia will help you beat him up!"
Lin Zijin smiled: "Really? Then where has Sister Xia been all these years?"
Bai Muye, who was holding Lin Zijin's hand, could feel the unrest in the girl's heart. This woman named Lin Caixia is really good, and her words and deeds are very friendly, making it difficult for people to feel disgusted.
But it doesn't mean that she can change some of Lin Zijin's views on the Lin family in her heart.
Nor can she erase the indifference of the Lin family to Zijin over the years just because of her friendliness.
The problem still exists there, and it can only be covered up, but it will never disappear.
In the video, Lin Caixia smiled bitterly and said, "This is a good question. Yes, where was I during the years you suffered? Where was I during the years Caiwei was bullied?"
Lin Zijin looked at Lin Caixia quietly with a pair of eyes as pure as water.
Lin Caixia sighed softly, "At that time, I was in Tianhe."
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Lin Zijin looked at Lin Caixia in surprise, and Bai Muye also raised his head in shock.
This woman... this woman who claimed to be Lin Caiwei's sister, actually returned from Tianhe?
"So, if you want to know more about the situation in Tianhe, if you want to know something about your parents, then... come over." Lin Caixia sighed, "Girl, and Xiaobai, listen to Sister Xia. When a family is big, it is inevitable that there will be bad people. Sometimes, even if there are different opinions, there is no need to really make the relationship so stiff. Some things, I only heard about them after I came back. People like Lin Qi and Lin Yue deserve to die. It's okay if they die. If they don't die, I will completely destroy them when I see them, and let them spend the rest of their lives in despair and regret."
Lin Zijin glanced at Bai Muye, and the look in his eyes was easy to understand.
Bai Muye understood it at a glance.
What Lin Qi, what Lin Yue, in fact, in the hearts of the two, they didn't take it seriously.
What really moved the two was Tianhe!
Lin Zijin saw the answer in Bai Muye's eyes, and then looked at Lin Caixia in the video: "Sister Xia, are you sure that there will be no people or things that disgust me at today's Lin family gathering?"
"Absolutely not! Your sister Xia guarantees you with this face! If there really is, you don't need to do anything, I will slap him to death!" Lin Caixia said.
"Do you also want me to return to the family?" Lin Zijin asked again.
"When have you ever left the family?" Lin Caixia asked back with a smile, "We are all Lin family blood, all Lin family children, how can we talk about leaving the family, whether it's you, your parents, or any other Lin family member, as long as they are not expelled from the family tree for committing heinous crimes, they are all family members!"
After a pause, Lin Caixia continued, "As for who is in power in this family, whether some people will do some irrational things, such problems are inevitable when the family is big. So I hope you don't worry about these unhappy things. And... when you come back, I may not be able to beat some people who bullied Caiwei and you in the past, but with you and Xiaobai helping me, I think it's almost there!"
Looking at Lin Caixia's serious face, Lin Zijin burst out laughing.
"Okay, then I'll go with my brother tonight!"
"That's right, take our Lin family's new son-in-law with you and let them see what the world's most handsome guy is!" Lin Caixia said, winking at Bai Muye, then waving her hand and hanging up the communicator.
Bai Muye was a little emotional, looking at the level of others' speech, and then thinking about the Bai family's patriarch Bai Rui...
If you want to show your goodwill, don't try to put on airs!
Who are you showing off to by acting so high and mighty?
"Come on, brother, let's go shopping, I'm going to dress you up! To blind their eyes!" Lin Zijin also seemed to be in a good mood.
This doesn't mean that she has forgiven the family, but that she has accepted Sister Xia, who looks very similar to Lin Caiwei.
I have to admit that the woman's emotional intelligence is really too high.
In just a few words, everything is made clear.
And they didn't force anything to say that you are a child of the Lin family.
The two of them left directly afterwards, wearing hats and masks, and entered the largest shopping mall in the imperial city.
After choosing the clothes that suited each other as quickly as possible, they ran out of there like escaping.
It's not that they are very recognizable, but that this top golden boy and jade girl CP, even if they are fully armed with hats, masks and sunglasses, they are still so popular.
After shopping for a while, the two of them have been approached dozens of times.
If they take off their glasses, masks and hats, I'm afraid there will be more.
"Brother is too handsome, it's really a trouble!"
"Girl is too beautiful, it's also a burden!"
The two people sitting in the car flattered each other without any scruples, and then laughed.
In the evening, the place where the Lin and Bai families held a family gathering was very lively.
This area is also the most top-level and private place in the imperial city, and ordinary people cannot easily enter here.
Even the sky above this area has a no-fly zone. If you intrude unintentionally, you will be warned immediately and expelled.
If you dare to force your way in, all kinds of anti-aircraft artillery are no joke. They will shoot you down in a minute, and you will have no place to cry out for injustice.
Because this is the imperial city, many people who don't know the truth think that this is a restricted area of the royal family.
Only a very few people know that this area actually belongs to the Bai and Lin families.
Since it is a family gathering, all the core children of the two families will be present, and there will be no outsiders.
But because the two families have been friends for generations, the children of the two families will stop and say hello to each other when they meet, and then go to the place where their families hold dinner.
So when Bai Muye and Lin Zijin appeared in this area in a taxi, they looked particularly eye-catching.
Because the others were either top-level limited edition luxury sports cars, or dignified and atmospheric executive version flying cars, or top-level small aircraft with staggering prices.
Anyway, no matter what it is, there is no such strange thing as a taxi.
It's like a big rooster suddenly mixed in with a group of peacocks, and walked in with its head held high.
As soon as this taxi appeared, those who were chatting cordially showed strange expressions on their faces.
"How did this taxi get in?"
"Isn't it forbidden for taxis to enter?"
"You can get in with an identification code, but I'm curious, who is so casual?"
"Yes, yes, this is a bit too casual, isn't it?"
Especially some young people, they looked at this taxi with curiosity, flying over the Bai family banquet venue next door, and slowly landing on the Lin family side.
Over there, Bai Rui, the head of the Bai family, was accompanied by a group of Bai family elders and got off a luxurious executive stretch limousine.
Facing the greeting of a group of people, they all had a friendly and hypocritical smile on their faces.
On the Lin family side, a group of young people gathered together, including some young children of the Bai family. Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on this taxi.
Then, the taxi door was opened, and the first person to get out was a young man who was so handsome that people couldn't help but want to take a second, third, and fourth look at him... Then there was only one thought left in their minds: How could this guy be so handsome?
Hiss!
On the side of the Lin family, a group of young men and women couldn't help but sigh softly.
This was a meaningless sigh due to shock.
Many people also recognized the identity of this young man at a glance - Bai Muye!
He's from the Bai family next door!
But why did this guy come to the Lin family?
Many young Bai family members in the crowd looked a little embarrassed when they saw Bai Muye.
What was he doing here?
Then, Bai Muye walked around to the other side and bent down to open the car door.
If it wasn't a taxi, but an executive version of a long luxury car, no one would be able to find any fault with it.
I have to praise him for being a gentleman.
But a taxi...
Some young people couldn't help but chuckle.
This handsome guy is so funny!
From the car door, a leg in wide-leg trousers stretched out. Even though the trousers were wide, it was still obvious that the leg was particularly straight, round, and slender. Then, a hand was placed on Bai Muye's hand.
Then a human elf walked out of the taxi.
So beautiful!
This was the common feeling of everyone present at this moment.
Lin Zijin is already a beauty on earth on weekdays.
Lin Zijin, who dressed up today, really looked like an elf from the sky.
Standing together with Bai Muye, the two complemented each other. At this moment, the taxi... was invisible.
Because there was only this pair of perfect people left in the world.
Bai Rui and his group couldn't help but cast their eyes over there.
Bai Rui, the head of the Bai family, had a complicated look in his eyes. He looked at Bai Muye and Lin Zijin over there and couldn't help but sigh softly.
Who could have thought that he would be so talented after growing up?
If he had known that the child had such an outstanding talent back then, how could he...
Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.
But the people around Bai Rui looked ugly.
Someone snorted coldly in a low voice: "Instead of attending his own family gathering, he ran to someone else's land like a son-in-law. Isn't it embarrassing!"
Someone responded: "He has lost all his face!"
Bai Rui thought for a while and said, "Let's go."
He didn't look over there again, but took a big step and walked inside.
At this time, a young man from the Bai family who heard the conversation between Bai Rui and Bai Muye could not help but shouted to Bai Muye: "Today is a gathering of the Bai family. Even if you want to be someone's son-in-law, you should consider your family's reputation, right? Is there no food to eat in the Bai family?"
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the person who spoke.
