Chapter 223: First Arrival at the Xu Family's Old Mansion
"And your uncles and uncles, they all said they wanted to see you."
Bai Xianyi was slightly stunned, those uncles and uncles saw her go back, eighty percent were not happy, but sad.
originally thought that after my father died, I wouldn't share much property with my grandmother and grandfather, but when she came back, it was really unclear what was going on.
"Okay, I'll prepare." She smiled and nodded.
The Xu family didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at her, and if she escaped at this time, she might let someone with a heart see the joke.
Xu Zhijie was very satisfied, his eyes turned, and he looked at Lin Xianjie who was sitting on the side.
"This time, you and Xianyi will go together."
"Xiao Yi just returned to Xu's house, and besides, she and I are only dating now, so I'm afraid that going rashly will not have a good impact on Xiao Yi." Lin Xianjie seems to have thought about it for a long time.
"Well, you have a point." When Xu Zhijie saw Lin Xianjie say this, he couldn't force it anymore.
Lin Xianjie had dinner at Xu's house, and chatted with Bai Xianyi with Yu Lian for a while, and then went back.
Next week happened to be the day of the Xu family's regular family banquet, and after discussing with Xu Zhijie, Bai Xianyi and Xu Zhijie decided to greet the elders of the Xu family that day.
The old house of the Xu family is in the imperial capital, Xu Zhijie and Bai Xianyi went by private plane, the plane landed directly in the old house, and as soon as they got off the plane, there were housekeepers and domestic servants waiting to greet them.
"The eldest young master, the master and the lady are still practicing calligraphy in the study, let me take you and the little lady to wait in the living room first, and the second old man will come down after practicing the calligraphy." The housekeeper took the simple luggage in the hands of Bai Xianyi and Xu Zhijie and said respectfully.
"Okay." Xu Zhijie nodded and motioned for the housekeeper to lead the way in front.
Bai Xianyi got off the plane, and there were a lot of eyes on her body, she straightened her back, and followed behind Xu Zhijie unhurriedly, with a moderate demeanor, neither humble nor arrogant, but she couldn't find anything wrong with others.
When I arrived in the living room, there were all kinds of fruits and tea on the table, all according to the tastes of Bai Xianyi and Xu Zhijie.
The decoration of the whole house is antique, even the coffee table is made of fine sandalwood, not like a family that has settled abroad all the year round.
She originally thought that Xu Zhijie's own house was already large-scale, but the old mansion of the Xu family occupied more than twice as much as Xu Zhijie's house.
The living room is on the second floor, looking down, not far away is the rockery hot spring, the flowers and plants in any place are valuable, comparable to the expenses of ordinary families for several months.
Not long after the two sat down, the butler came again.
"The eldest young master, the master said that I would ask you to go to the study."
Xu Zhijie got up, and Bai Xianyi also got up.
"The master said that you can go by yourself, and the little lady will rest here." The housekeeper said again.
Bai Xianyi was stunned, then sat down on the sofa again, and said with a smile, "Dad, you go up first, I'll just wait here." ”
"Okay, then don't run around, I'll go back when I go." Xu Zhijie nodded, and he couldn't figure out what his parents meant, so he could only follow the housekeeper to the study first.
Bai Xianyi took out his mobile phone, Lin Xianjie had already sent more than a dozen messages, and Bai Xianyi replied one by one.
She and Xu Zhijie came early, and other people must have come over one after another, Bai Xianyi asked a domestic helper where the bathroom was, all the way, clean up yourself, and when you meet people, you won't lose your general opinion.
"Have you heard, at today's family banquet, the eldest young master's daughter who has been separated for many years has also returned, it is said that she looks good, and she looks thoughtful."
"That's not it, I saw it just now, although I didn't grow up rich, and my every move is as good as the other little ladies in our family."
"The lord and the wife don't know how to pay attention to this little lady, they used to live well abroad, but I heard that the eldest young master found his daughter, and he returned to China for the first time in more than ten years."
Bai Xianyi walked out directly without pausing, standing in front of the mirror, checking today's makeup as if no one was around, and taking out a puff from his bag to touch up his makeup.
Several domestic servants looked at each other, their faces were not very good-looking, they shut up, and hurried out.
Bai Xianyi coldly glanced at their backs and coldly hooked her lower lip.
Out of the bathroom, Xu Zhijie hadn't come down yet, but there was one more person in the living room.
Bai Xianyi walked over and sat down.
The man glanced at her contemptuously and cocked Erlang's legs.
"You're the daughter that the boss recently recognized outside?"
Bai Xianyi didn't speak, nor did she say anything, she just picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, and then picked up the book that the maid had just prepared for her.
It was as if I hadn't seen the man the whole time.
"You kid, why are you so uneducated?" The man was anxious and couldn't help but be a little angry.
Bai Xianyi just glanced at him lightly, and still didn't speak.
She had seen this person on the information her father gave her before she came, Xu Shouqi was the second eldest of the Xu family, according to the backup, she should be called the second uncle.
But over the years, because his father has lived in seclusion for many years, Xu Shouqi's ambition has been expanding day by day, and all the Xu family's industries have to be intervened.
She had long known that Xu Shouqi and her father were against each other, so naturally she didn't plan to waste her mind trying to curry favor.
Bai Xianyi still didn't pay attention to Xu Shouqi, he was annoyed and angry, and was about to go upstairs, when Xu Zhijie helped Mrs. Xu down.
"Mom, have you been feeling better lately?" Seeing the situation, Xu Shouqi hurriedly greeted the old lady and supported the old lady on the other side.
Bai Xianyi also got up, raised her eyes to look at the old lady with a kind face, and couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy.
"Grandma." She walked up to the old lady and said kindly.
"Hey, hey!" The old lady motioned to her two sons not to hold herself, and held Bai Xianyi with both hands, "You are Xianyi?" ”
"Yes, Grandma, let's go sit on the couch first." Seeing the old lady so happy, Bai Xianyi was moved in her heart, her nose was a little pantothenic, and she walked to the sofa.
The old lady smiled and nodded, sat down on the sofa, and caressed Bai Xianyi's face affectionately.
"I've suffered outside all these years, and our Xu family is sorry for your mother and daughter." The old lady shook her head in embarrassment.
"I'm not bitter, I'm not coming back now." Bai Xianyi didn't want to make the old man sad, so he hurriedly changed the topic, "I also prepared gifts for you and grandpa today." ”
"yes, what kind of gift?" The old lady was pleasantly surprised.
Xu Shouqi sat down on the sofa on the side, looking lively, the most important thing for the Xu family is valuables, he wants to know, what gift the wild girl can come up with to please the old man.
Bai Xian smiled and asked the maid to bring the gift.
It was like a painting, rolled up together at the moment, Bai Xian got up, took it from the domestic servant, and spread it out in front of the old lady.
What catches your eye is a picture.
"Big brother, the first time your daughter met her mother, she sent this kind of unbelievable appearance? This painting is not from the hand of a famous artist. ”
Xu Shouqi couldn't help but mock, and looked at Xu Zhijie with a smile.
"This ......" Xu Zhijie was also a little surprised, before Bai Xianyi said that she had prepared a gift for the second elder, she kept saying that she wanted to keep it secret, and she didn't ask again, but she didn't expect the gift prepared by Xianyi to be so simple.
"Mom, Xianyi is not sensible, don't worry about her." He hurriedly looked at Mrs. Xu again.
Mrs. Xu didn't take care of her two sons, but looked at the painting, her eyes were a little dazed at first, and then she shook her head with a smile, rolled up the calligraphy, and handed it to the domestic helper on the side.
"Put it in my bedroom."
"Yes, old lady." The maid carefully took the painting and went to Mrs. Xu's bedroom.
"Mom, even if you like this girl, you don't need to like such an ordinary word." Xu Shouqi saw that Mrs. Xu was not only not angry, but also looked liked, thinking that she was biased again.
"Shut up!" Old Mrs. Xu glanced at her second son angrily.
"What the hell is going on?" Xu Zhijie looked at the tacit grandfather and grandson, and couldn't react for a while.
The old lady is a cloudy and uncertain character, and often even the old man can't figure out the number of roads, but today she actually called Bai Xianyi, who met for the first time, to make her happy?
"This is what your father and I wrote more than 20 years ago." The old lady said, and looked at Bai Xianyi again, "This is the first word we wrote down together, I originally wanted to keep it well, but after moving a few times, I lost it." ”
"Kid, where did you find it?"
Bai Xianyi was stunned, and the smile on the corner of her lips was a little more bitter.
"This is what my mother left behind."
"Your mother?" Mrs. Xu was even more surprised.
"Well, that time you came to see Dad, and you lived for a while, and Mom saw that you liked this painting very much, so she kept it for you, but then I didn't have a chance to return the door to you." Bai Xianyi said slowly, these are what Yu Lian told her a few days ago.
"Then, that girl is your mother, Lao Xu and I thought it was Zhijie's servant!" Mrs. Xu couldn't help but be surprised, and looked at Xu Zhijie reproachfully.
"Mom, at that time, you valued the right person, and Zhi'er didn't let me announce the relationship with you." Xu Zhijie panicked in his heart.
"Poor boy." The more Mrs. Xu looked at Bai Xianyi, the more distressed she became.
"Lao Wu, you go and arrange it, and when everyone arrives, arrange for Xianyi to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors." She turned to the butler again.
Originally, she still doubted whether this child was the blood of the Xu family, and for this reason, she called Xu Zhijie to the study to make sure, so that Bai Xianyi was the child of the Xu family.
"Yes old lady." Steward Wu nodded respectfully.
"Wait, Mom, I didn't even do a paternity test, what if she's not the boss's daughter?" Xu Shouqi suddenly got up from the sofa and said in a solemn voice.
"Could this not be the granddaughter of my Xu family?" Old Lady Xu said angrily.
Xu Shouqi had all his words in his throat, sat back on the sofa, and stopped arguing.
"This paternity test still has to be done." An old but angry voice came.
A few people in the living room looked over and saw a spirited old man coming down the stairs, his eyes like a torch fell on Bai Xianyi, and a look of satisfaction crossed his eyes.
"Yes." Xu Shouqi muttered quietly.
"You old man, you know all day you can't get along with me." Old Lady Xu glanced at the old man unhappily.
"You know something." The old man asked Xu Zhijie to get out of the way, sat down beside Bai Xianyi, and glanced at Xu Shouqi very unfriendly.
"It's better to do a paternity test, so that some people don't always want to make a fuss."
The Xu family's family banquet will not be held until tomorrow, and some juniors have already returned, all of whom are Xu Zhijie busy with Zhang Luo, and after he was done, he took Bai Xianyi to the hospital for a paternity test.
Early the next morning, the father and daughter went to the hospital to get the results.
"Big brother, you wait, I'll go with you." The father and daughter were about to get into the car, and Xu Shouqi followed from behind.
