Three hundred and twenty-nine, the surprise of the snow
The atmosphere in the room was still so solemn, and after Yumeichi's eyes adjusted to the darkness of the room, he found that four old men with different expressions were sitting together in a semicircle, and in front of them, there were two square stools, obviously specially prepared for their arrival.

Such a meeting was booked a long time ago? Bai Xue has been silent, making people wonder what he is thinking. Mengyi's mood is naturally very heavy, I'm afraid Bai Xue is bound to win this time, although she seems to have mistaken her identity, but now appearing in front of them, does it mean that this will be a new beginning for her?
Naturally, this is the first time Yumeichi has seen so many people. Although she had heard countless rumors about them, she had never thought that the first meeting would be so serious, she deliberately whispered to Bai Xue and teased: "I thought that even if it wasn't golden here, there should be a few more lights, right?" Why are they reluctant to turn on even a few lights? Is this how all your money is saved? ”
"Shut up!" Bai Xue roared in a low voice, obviously, even her own expression was a little more surprised, and she grabbed Mengyi's hand very hard, obviously forcing them to speak in this way, "They are all old people with deaf ears and eyes, and it is good for you to talk less nonsense." Alright, now come with me, and you will not be allowed to speak until I tell you to speak. ”
Yumeichi had thought that after they came in, at least the four old men would not sit there quietly, but they remained silent, as if they hadn't heard their whispers at all.
The tall and thin old man on the far right spoke slowly, "Since they are already here, why are you still standing there?" We don't have that much time, don't we have to ask us to say please before you come? ”
Bai Xue let go of her hand, she cleared her throat, and there was a polite smile on her face, "Several elders, it's rude." This is the Shen Mengyi that the patriarch once mentioned again and again......"
The four old men, who were still bowing their heads and contemplating, focused their eyes on Yumeichi at the same time. Of course, Yumeichi could feel the shock in their eyes, and a little pity...... Pity? Indeed, Mengyi once saw such a look from the eyes of countless people, and she naturally couldn't be mistaken.
Even now, Mengyi's understanding of them is more fear than envy, she naturally never cares about what her identity is, and her biggest hope is to get rid of her relationship with them.
But what is the matter with those people's eyes? Could it be ...... These people, like Bai Xue, really misunderstood their identity? She could only pretend not to see it, and just nodded slightly at them.
The four old men quickly controlled their emotions, and Bai Xue almost introduced to them with her eyebrows fluttering, "Mengyi's identity, you guys naturally already know, I brought her here to let her take a picture with a few people." As for the next thing, we'd better ask the patriarch to decide......"
"So, did she come here genuinely?" The tall and thin old man spoke in an aggressive tone, he glared at Bai Xue, and only when his gaze turned to Yumeichi did he soften himself, "I didn't expect you to really come." Tell me, did she coerce you to come here? Don't worry, don't hesitate to say anything, we'll take care of it. ”
"Well, why did you even say such a thing as being the master for her? Who would dare to force Yumeichi to do something? Although Bai Xue's tone was very respectful, she was obviously a little dissatisfied, "Of course she came here voluntarily, and the current situation of the patriarch, a few people should know better than me, and the selection of talents and abilities is naturally the task of a few elders, isn't it?" In every way, Yumeichi is the best choice, isn't it? ”
The tall and thin old man didn't say a word, and the curly-haired old man who was sitting next to him spoke, and she smiled faintly, "Choice? What are you...... Already worried about the next patriarch? Don't you think it's a little too early? Besides, the candidates have already been decided, so you don't have to worry about it at all, right? Why did you bring people here? Doesn't that mean that we are only conducting a preliminary investigation at the moment? ”
Bai Xue's face changed instantly, she naturally understood how much power these old people had in their hands, so she could only reluctantly accompany the smiling face, "In my heart, it is natural to respect the patriarch, but since her physical condition is not as good as before, we must elect a person with both ability and political integrity as soon as possible to serve as the next patriarch, so as to carry forward our career, right?" ”
"So the purpose of bringing her here is to coerce her into running for the next patriarch, right? Speaking of which, all those rumors about you are true, you have your own wishful thinking, and after you are convinced that you have no hope at all, you will find a puppet to come out, so that it can be completely used by you, right? The tall and lanky old man asked again.
Bai Xue, who was the most observant, was angered by the words in the old man's mouth, although she was still patiently explaining, but there was obviously a little more impatience in her tone, "How can it be a puppet?" Didn't the patriarch of the year say that he was ...... to Shen Lanxin I mean, Aunt Lan appreciates it? Her daughter is naturally blue. Didn't the patriarch say that only the most capable can be competent? ”
"Speaking of which, you're really prepared." The tall and thin old man looked at her impatiently, it was obvious that the contradiction between him and Bai Xue had always been deep, otherwise, the attitude would not be so blunt.
Bai Xue couldn't help but laugh when she said this, "Look where you are talking about?" What does it mean to come prepared? I'm really thinking about us, that's why I brought my dreams here, didn't I? ”
"But don't forget, Lan Xin was determined to let herself gain half of her freedom. Mengyi chose to marry Qin Yang, and her intentions were naturally self-evident. If it weren't for some indiscriminate means, how could she be here? The tall and thin old man's tone also became aggressive.
The scene instantly became tense, and even Yumeichi was a little surprised, he couldn't imagine that they would know so much about their past, and he didn't know anything about them?
Bai Xue laughed, she was obviously hiding her uneasiness with a smile, "I don't understand what you're talking about, why do you say that?" Haven't you ever thought that maybe things weren't as complicated as you thought? Mengyi is a very sensible person, and since he knows that he has to take on such an important responsibility, he will naturally stand up. ”
