The living room was already bustling.

The old lady of the Bai family (that is, Bai Zhenheng's grandfather) is a single seedling, he not only inherited the inheritance of the previous generation, but also inherited part of the previous generation's infertility. Therefore, until his death, he only had two sons under his knees.

You said that there are few children, but there is still one who is not angry. The eldest son, Bai Zheng, has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and he is blessed to marry a satisfactory wife, but he is not blessed to get a man and a woman. The second son, Bai Tai, is healthy and strong, but in the end there are only two sons, Bai Zhenkun and Bai Zhenheng.

Having a son - seems to be a fine tradition in their family.

That's right, in those days, only the son was the pillar of the family. As for the daughter, don't talk about the top half of the sky, it's half less, and half of it doesn't even want to top. The pillars of the Kebai family are always pitiful, and naturally they are not prosperous.

In Bai Zhenheng's life, the Bai family went against the sky, transferred, and children and grandchildren began to flood. Bai Zhenkun has two sons and one daughter, both of whom are married and have children, and Bai Zhenheng also has three sons and one daughter. Except for the youngest son Bai Yibei, they all got married and had children, and their achievements were also gratifying. Therefore, at this time, the Bai family is a veritable big family.

In the bedroom, there are cold eyes and-for-tat, but in the living room, there are groups of three or five, laughing and laughing

A room full of people longing and laughter in a room can't drive away the disappointment in Bai Yixi's heart. In the living room, the smiling faces that were both familiar and unfamiliar were not what she expected.

She stood in front of the glass window, her eyes fixed on the corridor leading to the living room in the courtyard without moving and expecting through the glass. It's just that the longer I star, the heavier the disappointment in my heart.

Alas. This sigh is not light or heavy, she doesn't know how many times.

Luo Jingcheng wrapped his arms around his wife's shoulders and comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, wait." ”

Don't worry? But can she not be in a hurry? When has this been? No one has been seen yet.

Bai Yixi tilted his head slightly, looked at his husband, frowned and hesitated to ask, "You say, will Xiaobei come this time?"

Luo Jingcheng looked back at his wife, pursed his lips, shook his head, and replied truthfully: "I don't know." ”

Her husband's answer made Bai Yixi deflated all of a sudden, what else could she expect if her husband couldn't get it. So, with a bitter face, he said lifelessly:

"I don't have much hope. What time is it, it's long overdue. ”

Looking at his wife's bitter face, Luo Jingcheng couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but cheer up and comfort:

"I told you not to worry, you are still in a hurry. Let me tell you, no one can predict what the final outcome will be until the last minute. Wait, no one might have a miracle. Don't worry, be patient. ”

"Miracle? Bai Yixi sighed and said faintly: "I'm afraid that if I have the patience to wait, others may not have that patience." ”

God probably really heard Bai Yixi's nagging, and really went along with her wishes. As soon as she finished speaking, the housekeeper Wang De shouted in his high-pitched and rough voice: "The old lady has arrived!"

Mrs. Bai walked down the stairs slowly, followed by Bai Zhenkun and Bai Zhenheng. These five people have different expressions, and it's really interesting to watch.

Old Lady Bai's face was full of the smell of decadence. Bai Zhenkun had a gloomy face, as if someone owed him tens of millions and didn't pay it back, and his wife Cao Liwen, who was walking behind him, had an indifferent face, and that look would not cause her a trace of sorrow even if the sky fell.

In contrast, Bai Zhenheng's wife Cao Lijun is not so calm. heard that her husband had taken her son's equity again, but she didn't take it seriously at all. This is too accustomed to her, and based on her previous experience, this is not only not a bad thing, but a good thing. As always, she casually wanted to ask. As soon as he opened his mouth, he was beaten up by her husband. For so many years, although Bai Zhenheng was not gentle to her, he did not have a word of weight.

So, she was a little aggrieved and a little nervous. As she walked, she stared at the back of her husband's head in confusion, eager to peek out of a hole in his head to see what he was thinking.

Among these five people, I am afraid that only Bai Zhenheng is normal, always calm, and always unsmiling.

Seeing that the old lady Bai came down and sat down on the main seat, all the people stood up and slowly approached it. Looking at the filial sons and grandsons in this room, Mrs. Bai did not have the vigor of previous years, sitting in a chair, her eyes were dull, and she didn't say a word. The pride that has been forged for many years collapsed in an instant.

Everyone fell silent, their eyes wide open, and they looked at Mrs. Bai in disbelief. They couldn't help but mutter, what is going on? The old lady usually doesn't look like this. Did something just happen upstairs?

Bai Yidong's heart sank even more, he subconsciously went to see his mother, and just happened to collide with his mother's gaze. It's just his mother's death-like eyes that made his nervousness even worse.

Bai Zhenheng took a few more steps, occupied the most prominent position, and tilted his head to ask the housekeeper behind him: "Are all the people together?"

Bai Zhenheng has been asking this sentence for more than 20 years.

The housekeeper Wang De stretched his neck, his eyes swept through the crowd, and he turned his head to Bai Zhenheng and replied seriously:

"Except for the fourth young master, they have all arrived. ”

This sentence has also been answered by housekeeper Wang De for more than 20 years.

Bai Zhenheng's face sank, and his face, which was not white, was completely black.

He seemed to look at the big standing clock diagonally opposite, it was all like this, thinking that the rabbit cub had not yet arrived, and some anger and uneasiness suddenly rose in his heart.

Today is different from previous years, if that kid really doesn't come, then won't his plan be messed up?

It's hard to say about that rabbit cub right now. has been squeezed by him for so many years, and now it is indeed difficult to control it. That's why he personally called him to ask him to come back, and personally ordered him to go to the "Nest of Words" to meet him. In order to be nine out of ten, he also threw out 30 percent of the shares.

Such a good opportunity, such a big benefit, can't you tempt/confuse that kid?

In order not to let others see the clues, Bai Zhenheng had a gloomy face, turned his head and said to the housekeeper, "Let's start." ”

It's all come to this point, Bai Yixi was in a hurry, and took a few steps forward with a brain fever, and blurted out:

"Can you wait any longer? Because he didn't know the bottom of his heart, although he spoke eagerly, his tone trembled slightly.

"Are you sure he's coming?" asked Bai Zhenheng coldly looking at his daughter.

Bai Zhenheng's tone of voice has never been hurried, let alone yelling. Because when he looks at you, the frost on his face and the indifference in his eyes always make people tremble. Feeling two beams of cold light on his body, Bai Yixi couldn't help but shiver.

"No, not sure. "Bai Yixi is timid. She regretted that she had spoken too much. In previous years, she never said a word more, but this time she knew that her brother did not return to the UK.

"Hmph!" Bai Zhenheng snorted coldly. "Don't say you're not sure, you're just 100% sure, and we don't wait for him alone. Because, he doesn't have that big face. ”

Bai Yixi has had a feeling of respect and fear for his father since he was a child, but he is only respectful and afraid, and he has never hated or hated him.

Bai Yixi is a genuine wealthy lady, she has an enviable aura of "daughter", but she does not have the favor of Miss daughter.

She and her younger brother Bai Yibei are dragon and phoenix fetuses, because they were born ten minutes early, so she is an older sister. It's just that she has always been timid as an older sister, and she needs her brother's care everywhere. So, when her father wanted to send her younger brother to England, she begged her father to be with him. But her father didn't say anything, just kicked her away.

Her mother died, and her younger brother was sent to England, and she naturally had no good fruit under the "care" of her stepmother. But luckily, she's a girl. The stepmother would only beat her, scold her, and take out her anger when she was angry, and the others would not care about her.

When she was a freshman, she met her husband Luo Jingcheng. Luo Jingcheng was a grass-level figure at that time, handsome, gentle and elegant, not to mention, and proficient in everything. Learn to be the best, the guitar is first-class, the slam dunk is the master, and the game is everyone's ...... It can be said that he is a perfect person. Such a person will naturally let those bees and butterflies surround them all day long.

Bai Yixi thinks that she is plain, she has worn short-sighted glasses with big black frames since the third year of junior high school, her clothes are ordinary, and her transportation to school is the subway in addition to the bus, so no one knows that she is the daughter of Bai Zhenheng, the richest man in the capital, except for herself.

Luo Jingcheng is very good, and she admires it very much, but she doesn't have the courage to fight. It's just that she didn't expect that in the winter of her freshman year, she received Luo Jingcheng's confession. Since then, the two have loved each other. Under the care of her husband all the way, her life can be regarded as complete.

Bai Yixi, who was reprimanded by his father, didn't dare to say a word anymore. Silently leaning close to her husband, seeking solace. Luo Jingcheng looked at his beloved wife gently, and wrapped his arms tightly around his wife's shoulders to show comfort.

Seeing that the housekeeper stopped talking, he shouted at the top of his voice: "The auspicious time has arrived!

Today is a family banquet, and without the participation of outsiders, there will be less cumbersome and high-sounding etiquette. The elders and children stood up in an orderly manner, ready to worship together, and it was a matter of fact.

As soon as everyone stood up, they heard someone shouting, "The fourth young master has arrived!"

With this shout, everyone turned backwards in unison.

Bai Zhenheng also turned around, staring at the door with his eyes, until he saw the two people slowly entering, and his secretly tense heart instantly relaxed.

He pursed the corners of his lips quietly, and a faint smile was fleeting.

After all, he is really afraid that this kid will not come.
