Chapter 1187: Chapter 1191: Returning to the Ancestral Lineage (Part 1)
Bai Bing glanced at her grandfather and noticed him nodding before she called out, "Hello, Third Grandpa, thank you for the compliment!"
After saying this, she ignored the group and turned her gaze to her own grandfather.
This left the old man from the capital city with a stunned expression.
It seemed he didnât expect a young girl to dare ignore him; it was quite rude.
The people next to him were displeased, just about to reprimand her when he interrupted them.
"Interesting!" he thought to himself.
The next moment, Bai Bing continued holding onto the young manâs arm and moved forward to Master Bai with some confusion, asking, "Grandpa, is there a reason you called me back so urgently?"
She already knew in her heart it wasnât anything good.
After all, she brought Lin Xi along because her mother secretly informed her.
Otherwise, she wouldnât have invited Lin Xi.
Master Baiâs smile slightly wavered but he didnât respond immediately, pondering which words to use.
"Grandpa, why donât we go to the study to talk?" She quickly glanced over the group from the capital and suggested, "Considering there are outsiders here, itâs not very convenient!"
"Moreover, some people always have ulterior motives; we must be cautious when necessary!"
"Ahem ahem ahem!" Master Baiâs smiling face suddenly stiffened, unable to maintain his previous calm demeanor.
He glanced apologetically at the old man from the capital as if explaining.
The old man from the capital forced a smile indicating he didnât mind.
The middle-aged man, young man, and Aunt Mu next to him didnât look very pleased.
This girl is really irritating.
Beside Bai Zhenyang, Bai Bingâs father, the look he gave Bai Bing was one of restrained anger, feeling extremely agitated.
Yu Cheng was Bai Bingâs mother.
Her brother Bai Xingyeâs face showed even greater concern.
It seemed that after not seeing her for a while, their daughter/sister was not like they imagined anymore.
Now, her tone carried a sort of aggressive air.
In the past, she was utterly cold, hardly speaking more than two sentences.
Master Bai also thought so.
"Xiaobing, they are not outsiders, and the matter also concerns them; itâs fine to discuss here," Master Bai thought for a moment and said.
He also glanced at Lin Xi, "I didnât expect you, Lin Xiaoyou, to have time to visit my house today!"
"But we have some family matters today, why donât you wait in the living room for a while?"
"Ha!" Lin Xiâs face showed no change, but internally he snorted coldly, remaining unmoved.
This old man didnât seem to have good intentions.
Wanting to send him away, is he joking?
However, before he could speak, Bai Bing intervened and said, "Grandpa, Lin Xi is not an outsider!"
"Heâs my boyfriend!"
"I donât think he needs to go to the living room. If you want him to, then Iâll just go with him."
"As for the matter, you can discuss and handle it yourselves; it doesnât concern me!"
Her tone left no room for doubt.
Lin Xiâs lips curled into a slight smile; Bai Bingâs statement was quite impressive!
Seeing this, he decided not to say anything.
He indeed wanted to see what the Bai family and the Bai family from the capital intended.
His granddaughterâs behavior was puzzling, was this still the granddaughter who used to listen to him the most?
Growing up, indeed arms turn outward.
The next moment, Master Bai adjusted his emotions and first introduced to Bai Bing, "Your grandfather, I arrived from the capital decades ago."
"The family was based in the capital."
"Due to some conflicts, I havenât returned for decades."
"Now my third brother has come to the door, wanting us to recognize our roots and ancestors. I think the key is your opinion!"
Is this it?
Lin Xi sat beside Bai Bing, furrowing his brow.
He felt it wasnât that simple!
In fact, Bai Bing, being smart, also thought it couldnât be so straightforward.
On the contrary, Bai Zhenyang seemed excited, quickly nodding, "Dad, I agree, I agree, this is a good thing!"
Because the Bai family from the capital, in his heart, was a very formidable entity.
In Huaxia, they absolutely were a first-class family.
Especially in politics, they wielded significant influence.
Combining them with the Bai family, they would become even more powerful.
By then, the Bai family might even become the most powerful family in Chuzhou City.
Yu Cheng was indecisive, besides, as the Bai familyâs daughter-in-law, she actually never really had any say.
Bai Xingye opened his mouth, though he wasnât very clever, his perception had recently improved a lot.
He noticed his sister and fatherâs expressions seemed opposite, so he closed his mouth again, before saying, "I will listen to Dad and Sis!"
Before Bai Bing could speak, the old man from the capital smiled, "Recognizing our roots and ancestors has been Second Brotherâs long-held wish, and something I and Big Brother have always hoped for!"
"Right, Second Brother?" He looked at Master Bai asking.
Master Bai smiled without agreeing or refuting.
Though Lin Xi noticed, he still seemed tempted.
Indicating he indeed wanted to recognize their roots, this canât change.
"Moreover, with us looking after you all, who would dare bully our Bai family?" The old man from the capital said.
A young man beside him interjected, "Like the Chen family trying to annex your business!"
"I see it as seeking death!"
"If they knew we were your backing, I doubt theyâd have the guts!"
"Plus, your business scale could grow larger, with returns far exceeding the current, achieving the world top fifty isnât impossible!"
The old man from the capital approvingly glanced at the young man for his statement.
Master Bai kept an unchanged smile, expressing no attitude.
But Lin Xi could clearly sense Master Baiâs mood wasnât as seen on the surface, seeming slightly disdainful.
"Xiaobing, you share your thoughts!" He looked at Bai Bing again.
Bai Bingâs face didnât look so good!
She wasnât stupid!
The family business reached this height, thanks to whom?
Completely through their efforts!
The Bai family from the capital didnât offer any real help.
Regarding recognizing their roots, she didnât oppose.
But she wanted to clarify one point, "Recognizing our roots is possible!"
"However, our Bai family business remains our business, unrelated to you all in the capital!"
"As for reaching the world top fifty with your help, I find it unnecessary."
"Because weâre already among the world top hundred; given current growth speed, entering the top ten within two years is plausible!"
Her words left everyone, except Lin Xi, astounded, seemingly unimaginable.
Especially Master Bai, familiar with the family business, nearly spat his tea out; the family business just overcame a crisis?
How could it be among the top hundred?
Though Xiaobing never lied, he believed her!
What happened over the last month or so?
