Volume 1 Chapter 175 Private Conversation
In just ten minutes, Gu Le heard a rush of footsteps. Collection of this site βrad eight β Through the window to the outside, I saw Bai Jin walking towards this side, his expression was unprecedentedly dignified.
Gu Le's heart jumped, and when Bai Jin came to the front of the car, he immediately pushed open the door and let him sit in, and asked nervously, "What's wrong with you, what's wrong?" β
Bai Jinshi's face was very difficult, but when it came to Gu Leshi, who was worried, he still managed to hold back the irritability in his heart and shook his head.
"It's fine, it's just that something bad has arrived."
Thinking of the black ghosts in his eyes, the negative emotions of nervousness, fear, fear, and nausea in my heart rose in an instant. It's not the first time I've picked up something like this, but I still feel uncomfortable doing this. However, even if it is too heavy, I can handle it, and it is better not to let this girl continue to worry.
Bai Jinshi took a deep breath, strode over and sat in the driver's seat, nodded to Gu Le, and said, "I came to a road in front, it should be that I drove in the wrong direction, let's go." β
Gu Le nodded, and when she arrived at Bai Jin, the peace talisman on her body once again turned into a black rune paper, and a surprised expression appeared on her face. This is the second time.
Since there was no reaction on Bai Jinshi's face when he cast the peace talisman, it proved that he was not sensitive to this spirit talisman. Thinking of this, Gu Le quietly took out a peace charm from her pocket and pinched it in the palm of her hand, but in five minutes, she was completely turning into a wisp of black smoke with this talisman.
Gu Le's expression was stunned, and he didn't understand at all that no matter what the charm was, it seemed that as soon as he approached Bai Jinshi's body, it would automatically turn into black powder. Don't...... Does this person have something that has the ability to resist talismans?
Thinking of this possibility, Gu Le regretted that he was too impulsive. It's just that no matter what, this person didn't show a trace of doubt on his face, and he temporarily put his mind at ease.
But after a while, when he saw Bai Jin, he suddenly frowned and asked, "What smell?" β
Gu Le's heart jumped, and her heart couldn't say it well-this smell should have come out when the talisman was burning just now, but she couldn't say it clearly, so she had to say it sneeringly: "It should be...... It's the smell wafting in from outside, maybe someone is burning paper or something. β
Bai Jinshi nodded, but didn't continue to say anything, started the car, hit the steering wheel to the left, and drove forward. This place originally belonged to the Netherworld, and originally there were ghosts hitting the walls all around, and they couldn't get out at all, but Gu Le played a few lightning strikes around the wooden magic array, temporarily trapping the yin qi of this place, so that they left a way to escape, so that they could pass through this place safely.
Sure enough, as she expected, Bai Jinshi drove her away from this place quickly, but there was a trace of scorching marks on the corner, Gu Le glanced at it, and probably thought that it was just a real person who burned some paper money here, so he didn't care much.
The car quickly stopped at the door of Bai Jinshi's house, and before Gu Le could get out of the car, he suddenly heard a faint voice from the side: "Grandpa wants to see you, come in with me later." β
Bai Shichen? Why did Bai Jin, who was bent on cutting off her contact with the Bai family, suddenly agree to her to meet Old Man Bai?
Gu Le was shocked, and turned his head to meet Bai Jin's indifferent expression, those dark eyes seemed to absorb the light of all things, which was unreal. She didn't understand what Bai Jin was planning, maybe she, Bai Feng and Bai Shichen were just a chess piece in his hands.
After thinking about it, she did it: "Is there something Grandpa Bai looking for me?" β
Bai Jin was silent for a while, and just when Gu Le thought that he would not speak again, he suddenly said in a light tone: "Tomorrow I will invite many big families to the Bai family, and grandpa will introduce you out at that time." We're just talking to the old people about tomorrow's process. β
Entertaining guests?!
Thinking of this, Gu Le's heart couldn't help but beat violently. She didn't expect Bai Jinshi to push herself out at this juncture at this time, but now she had no reason to refuse, so she had to nod and go upstairs with him to find Old Man Bai.
Although Bai Chengyan is old, his body is very healthy, and the whole person feels radiant, Gu Le originally thought that Old Man Bai would be like Bai Feng, locked in the house by Bai Jinshi, making people haggard, but he didn't expect that Old Man Bai was still in good spirits. When Gu Le and Bai Jin entered the door, they just glanced at them lightly, then turned back and continued to taste the tea cup in their hands, looking very comfortable.
What does this look like...... Definitely doesn't look like you're under house arrest?
Gu Le turned his head, glanced at Bai Jin in surprise, and said in his heart, Could it be that this person is really soft-hearted, and he didn't mean to target Bai Chengyan?
No, it's not. Whether it was from Bai Feng's words or from the expression of fear and resentment on Bai Jinshi's face, this person was dissatisfied and resentful towards the Bai family and the members of the Bai family. If the reason why Old Man Bai is so comfortable and leisurely, it is probably because of the Bai family banquet tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Gu Le lowered his head and listened to Bai Jinshi introduce the scene of tomorrow's party to Bai Chengyan.
"I have invited the Zhou family, the Cheng family, the Qu family, the Tang family, and some big families who often have dealings with the Bai family, and I will draw up a list for my grandfather in a while, please take a look at it."
Bai Chengyan hummed softly, suddenly opened his eyes again, glanced coldly at Bai Jin, who was standing straight in front of him, snorted coldly, and said, "No need, you can just deal with it yourself, anyway, it doesn't matter if I have this thing on the list or not." β
Gu Le hung his head from beginning to end, and said in his heart that sure enough, the atmosphere between the two people was tense. The atmosphere was tense for a while, and she didn't even dare to speak out loud, trying to reduce her sense of presence.
However, Bai Jin didn't have much reaction, just said lightly: "Then I know, the list and the notice will be handed over to me to handle, I hope grandpa can sleep well tonight, and tomorrow I will send someone to send a set of ready-to-wear clothes." β
Bai Chengyan didn't speak, gently blowing the teacup in the cup, and continued out the window, as if he hadn't heard it at all.
Bai Jinshi didn't speak anymore, turned around and walked to Gu Le's side, and whispered, "Let's go." β
Gu Le didn't expect this explanation and discussion to end so suddenly, so he immediately nodded, ready to leave with Bai Jinshi. But he didn't expect that he was just about to turn around, when he heard an old and low male voice behind him: "Don't go yet, I have something to say to Lele." β
Gu Le turned his head, and when Bai Chengyan turned his head, he smiled and waved his hand at her, and he couldn't help but feel a thrill in his heart. She wanted to cry without tears in her heart, and she really didn't want to be a victim of the struggle between these two......
Bai Jinshi didn't seem to expect that Old Man Bai would suddenly stop Gu Le, and after being stunned for a moment, he subconsciously glanced at Gu Le. However, the girl was still at a loss, and kept her head down, and did not speak again.
"What's the matter?"
Bai Chengyan only had a slight obvious reaction at this time, and when he turned his head and glared at Bai Jin fiercely, he shouted in a voice like a flood bell: "Why, I can't say a word to my future granddaughter-in-law yet." β
Bai Jinshi's brows furrowed and he didn't speak again.
Bai Chengyan smiled at Gu Le, waved his hand and said, "Come, girl, grandpa has been very lonely recently, you come to talk to me." β
With Bai Jinshi's always frowning brows, Bai Chengyan said coldly: "It's nothing for you, you can go down." β
Although the old man is old, he has been on the battlefield before, so the momentum around him is still very sufficient, Gu Le was taken aback by this sudden reversal of the form, and sure enough, when he saw Bai Jin, he stood in place with a calm expression, and was not frightened away by his reprimand.
The atmosphere became even more awkward at this moment, Gu Le hurriedly took a step forward, pulled Bai Jinshi's sleeve, and said in a heartfelt voice: "I'll say a few words to grandpa, you go get busy first,"
Bai Jin glanced at her, knowing that even if it was so deadlocked, there would be no result, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk, but Lele just came back from her aunt's house, she should be more tired, let her go back to the room to rest early." β
Listening to the meaning of his words, it seems that the two of them did not reach a consensus on the idea of pushing Gu Le out. And Bai Feng and Bai Chengyan seem to have passively accepted this suggestion, and Bai Jinshi's actions are easy to make people think deeply.
Originally, Gu Le thought that the Bai family would make her identity public because she was caught in pigtails by the other family, but Bai Jin didn't seem to be a person who had too much sense of belonging to the Bai family, so she put forward this suggestion naturally for herself.
So...... What does Bai Jin want to get from herself?
With the sound of the door "banging", the tense atmosphere in the room just now instantly lowered, and Gu Le had the opportunity to raise his head and look at the situation of the entire room and Bai Chengyan.
The house has not changed from the original, and Bai Chengyan's complexion is not bad, which makes Gu Le feel a little relieved.
Gu Le knew that Bai Jin would always have channels to monitor their every move, and Bai Chengyan could naturally think of this, so when he decisively turned his head to leave, the expression on his face was not much easier.
Gu Le walked up to Bai Chengyan, first nodded at him, and then said respectfully, "Grandpa Bai, hello." β
Bai Chengyan's gaze was firmly fixed on Gu Le's face, and that gaze was like two sharp swords, which pierced people's hearts that could not be restrained. It's just that after a while, Bai Chengyan withdrew his gaze, nodded lightly at Gu Le, and said, "It's hard for you, it's all my fault...... I don't know people clearly, alas. β
