Chapter Seventy-Five: That's to disgust you
When Old Man Bai walked into the house accompanied by the nanny and Xia Mingwu, Yun Haoran was already sitting on a chair, concentratingly studying the book "Suiyuan Food List".
The old man walked in, and he didn't lift his eyelids.
Subconsciously, he is still the big devil, and these human beings are still ant-like species in his eyes after all.
Except for the people he likes.
Seeing this, Xia Mingwu was about to call him, but the old man waved his hand.
The old man also slowly sat down on the chair next to him.
Xia Mingwu and the nanny walked out of the study and closed the door again.
Ten minutes later, Yun Haoran reluctantly closed the book, raised his eyes, and looked at Old Man Bai.
The old man is really very old, his beard is white, and his body is frail, it is hard to imagine that such a person was once a famous ancient martial arts master.
The lifespan of human beings is only tens or hundreds of years, and compared with an existence like him that can live for hundreds of millions of years and countless epochs, a single human being is really insignificant.
Of course, with his means, he can let the old man live for a while longer.
As long as you give the old man a few spiritual energy orbs, it shouldn't be a problem to let him live for another ten or eight years.
But he didn't want to do that.
The entire Bai family is about to undergo earth-shaking changes, and for the old man, maybe dying is the best ending and the best relief.
"What? like this book?" the old man's old voice sounded in the slightly empty study.
Yun Haoran was still holding the book in his hand, reluctant to put it down, he nodded: "This book is good." β
"Do you like to read?" asked the old man again.
Among the children and grandchildren of the Bai family, except for Bai Ruoxuan, I'm afraid no one likes to read. Even Bai Yu rarely reads, he would rather find someone to fight. This is also the reason why he has always been impulsive and not steady enough. As for the other descendants of the Bai family, eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, smoking, all of them are masters, as for reading, they basically have a headache when they see a book.
"Sort of," Yun Haoran finally reluctantly put the "Suiyuan Food List" on the desk, "The book is big, and the days and months are long in the painting." β
"Hehehe," the old man laughed, "these two sentences, but they are flexible, you can say whatever you want, people who drink wine will say, 'The wine is big, the sun and the moon are long in the cup', and the tea drinker will say, "The tea is big, the sun and the moon are long in the pot", this book is for you. β
Yun Haoran hurriedly picked up the book from the table again: "Do you need me to say thank you?"
"What do you think?" the old man looked at him with interest.
"I don't think so. Yun Haoran shrugged.
The old man smiled again and didn't say anything.
This kid has a personality and is very smart, no wonder they all say that bastards are smart, it seems to be right, much smarter than the boys who live here.
"Are you Yun Haoran, or Bai Qiushui?" the old man asked.
Yun Haoran smiled: "Bai Qiushui is the name I use when I play games, of course my name is Yun Haoran, why do I have the surname Bai?
"The surname is Bai, you are a member of the Bai family," the old man paused deliberately, "surnamed Yun, you are not a member of the Bai family." β
Yun Haoran shrugged again: "It doesn't matter. β
In the old man's heart, although the Bai family can now be said to be strong outside, it is still very attractive to ordinary people, and he will always try his best to have something to do with the Bai family, however, the kid in front of him doesn't matter.
This made him a little disappointed, a little annoyed, and finally, a little appreciative.
The most important thing is that people, no matter how high or low, can support themselves and live happily.
Surely not happy?
This kid looks indifferent, either he is young and ignorant, arrogant, or he has confidence in himself and is not willing to send others to the fence easily.
"You don't want to be a member of the Bai family?" the old man probed further to determine what this kid was based on?
"Think," Yun Haoran looked at him, smiling, "But what's the use of wanting to? Follow your surname Bai? What can you give me? Poor little charity? To be honest, I'm not rare, I opened a small shop by myself, I can make millions a year, I can also open a chain, open a franchise, I have my own business, unlike you here, there are moths around me, and if you leave your Bai family, they will become garbage, so I don't care." β
The old man knew that what he said was true.
In the past two days, Xia Mingwu had already asked the people over there in Yuncheng to investigate this kid, and indeed as he said, his worry-free noodle restaurant had a hot business, and the recipe was unique, and many people were his old customers, and they drove dozens of miles to eat every other day.
This kid does seem to have a little ability.
But in this world of impermanence, it is too naΓ―ve to want to do whatever you want with just such a little ability, right?
But it's also excusable, this kid is only seventeen or eighteen years old after all, the old man thinks about himself when he was so old, he is not as good as this kid, where do you know what business to make money, only practice boxing and feet all day long, bubble little sister.
From this point of view, is this kid better than himself?
"You mean, all around me are garbage?" the old man looked at him with a smile, and he didn't know what kind of mood and connotation was behind this smile, "They are all your uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters." β
"Hahaha," Yun Haoran suddenly laughed, "I find you very funny, even if I treat them as family, will they treat me as family?"
The old man nodded and agreed with this statement: "That's right, but are you willing to treat them as family?"
He thought that Yun Haoran would definitely answer, willing, or unwilling.
"Do you want me to treat this garbage as my family?" Yun Haoran stretched out a finger and shook it gently, "There are only two of my family, one is my sister and the other is my deceased mother. β
Old Man Bai found that he was speechless for a while.
This is a hate-filled, deep-rooted child who cannot change his mind for a while.
He took a bite of garbage, the old man thought about it, and it was not wrong, up and down the Bai family, except for a handful of people, others, eating, drinking, having fun, prostituting, gambling, and smoking, digging out their minds to lose, hollowing out their minds to make money, a top two, there are really few people who can really do things for this family.
"Anyway, since you're here, you want to meet your father. The old man thought about it, and he couldn't rush it. But his own body wouldn't allow him to wait any longer, and he wanted to put an end to it in his lifetime, before he died.
"See what he's doing, just a coward. Yun Haoran said unashamedly.
The old man sighed: "Then you are in Donglaifu, why do you say that your surname is Bai?"
"That's to disgust you guys, hehe. β
Looking at Yun Haoran's playful expression, Old Man Bai felt a surge of qi and blood.
