Chapter 10 Family Dinners
In the evening, the meal was already on the table, and the people of the Pei family sat around a circle of tables.
Pei Ze sat on the main seat, while Bai Yu sat next to him, and at the same time, opposite Bai Yu was Old Madam Pei.
The family got together, but the atmosphere at the table was very cold.
Bai Yu took a fancy to a girl in this circle of people.
This girl sits next to Mrs. Pei, and has been giving vegetables to the older Mrs. Pei, although it is such a big family, there are really few people who can really sit next to Mrs. Pei and take care of Mrs. Pei.
The girl just raised her head, and when she met Bai Yu's gaze, it was a little unnatural.
Mrs. Pei found out.
"Xiao Yu, let me introduce to you, this is the adopted daughter of our Pei family, named Tang Xin."
With that, Tang Xin stood up and wanted to shake hands with Bai Yu.
Bai Yu nodded, indicating that he knew, and then followed Tang Xin to stand up and signal.
Tang Xin attracted Bai Yu, not only because she knew how to take care of Old Madam Pei, but also because she was also one of the very few people in this group who had a gentle face.
Xu Zhiying saw this scene and smirked.
"Bai Yu, if you hadn't come, maybe the position of this fiancée would have been Tang Xin's?"
As soon as these words came out, the dinner table was already very embarrassing, and the atmosphere became even colder.
In fact, everyone is 10,000 dissatisfied with Pei Ze's fiancée, after all, their Pei family is the most powerful family, and it is really embarrassing to find such a rural village woman who doesn't know where to be her fiancé.
It's just that they are all more interested than Xu Zhiying, and they know that this family affair was mentioned by Mrs. Pei, and saying that this family matter is like slapping Mrs. Pei in the face.
However, Xu Zhiying still didn't react.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, she opened her mouth and wanted to add another word.
She didn't notice at all that Old Madam Pei next to her was now a little more angry on her originally amiable face.
"Didn't I say that? Bai Yu doesn't come, Tang Xin, this kid..."
"Enough!" Old Madam Pei couldn't help it, and interrupted Xu Zhiying's words as soon as she slapped the table.
Old Madam Pei sighed.
She didn't want to lose her temper on this kind of family gathering occasion, it was really too much for Xu Zhiying, every sentence was sarcastic about Bai Yu, and even she couldn't stand it.
Everyone thought that Bai Yu would be angry, but what they didn't expect was that Bai Yu just looked at Tang Xin with a faint look in his eyes and said:
"Tang Xin and they have no marriage line, Tang Xin will have better people in the future, don't worry about this time."
When Tang Xin heard Bai Yu's words, he was shocked, clenched his fingers, and thanked Bai Yu out of politeness.
Everyone knows that this kind of topic should not be raised at the dinner table in the first place, and Xu Zhiying is inexplicable to do this.
But since Xu Zhiying has already proposed it, someone has to take it over.
Pei Ze's second uncle, Pei Zhigang, suddenly spoke.
"Chongxi is a feudal bad habit, when did our Pei family believe in these ghosts! Aze is so young and promising, how can he marry such a person..."
"Shut up! If you say one more thing about Xiao Yu, you will get out of here! Old Madam Pei was angry again.
Pei Zhigang looked at Mrs. Pei with a ruthless face, but his mother's fate was difficult to disobey, so he could only sit down.
"I'm not calling you here today to block me, old lady! Some people say that Xiao Yu is not, and there will be no him in this family in the future! Mrs. Pei gasped angrily, and Tang Xin on the side patted Mrs. Pei's back and comforted her in a low voice.
Bai Yu glanced at Pei Zhigang, frowned, and she resolutely turned her head and whispered to Pei Ze.
"Be careful of your second uncle, he will harm you."
When Pei Ze heard this, he snorted coldly.
"Who doesn't want to harm me in this family?"
Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that this was indeed the case, and the entire family was eyeing Pei Ze's current position.
Calm returned to the dinner table. Although the family eats at the same table, they have their own ghosts in their hearts.
Xu Zhiying asked Bai Yu again at this time: "Then Xiao Yu has any plans for the future?" ”
In fact, Xu Zhiying also knew that Mrs. Pei was talking to Bai Yu, and if she obviously said to her face that Bai Yu was not, Mrs. Pei would definitely be angry, so it was better to ask Bai Yu about the situation and let the family know which side to stand.
Bai Yu glanced at Xu Zhiying, and naturally knew Xu Zhiying's little abacus clearly in her heart, but she still answered.
"I want to go back to school."
Hearing Bai Yu's words, Old Madam Pei smiled.
"It just so happens that Zhiying, isn't your daughter also in college? The Pei family donated two buildings to let Xiaoyu go to your daughter's school. ”
Mrs. Pei thought that Bai Yu had just come out of the countryside and must not have gone to school, but it was still very easy for their family to send someone to school.
When the relatives heard Mrs. Pei's words, they couldn't sit still.
Although the Pei family is indeed wealthy, the two buildings are indeed not a small number, and for such a rural woman, the loss of the assets of the two buildings for nothing is indeed a little surprising to these relatives.
After all, this is an outsider, and paying so much for an outsider really makes relatives a little red-eyed.
Old Madam Pei knew that they would be red-eyed, so the purpose of saying this was to let them know that now the Pei family had a place for Bai Yu.
"It's okay to go to school, but I'm afraid that I haven't been to school before, and I can't learn well when I go to university."
"Yes, yes, it's better for us to send it to high school first, I believe Xiao Yu can pass the exam himself."
Relatives, you say everything to me, and the words are all sneering at Bai Yu.
But Bai Yu didn't care about their words at all, but unhurriedly took out an admission letter from his bag, stood up and asked Xu Zhiying.
"The daughter of the second aunt's family, is this school?"
When Xu Zhiying saw that the word Bai Yu was clearly written on the admission notice, the whole person was stunned.
She had obviously investigated that Bai Yu had no academic qualifications, and she hadn't even finished high school, so how could she have her daughter's admission letter to an aristocratic school?
This made Xu Zhiying puzzled.
Not only Xu Zhiying couldn't figure it out, but other relatives were also like this.
Xu Zhiying's daughter's academic performance is relatively good, but she still hasn't been admitted to this university, or her own family has paid some money to send her in, Bai Yu, who is from the countryside, didn't finish high school, how could she go to this school?
There was a moment of silence among the relatives.
For Bai Yu, they have too many doubts, but they can't find answers.
The corners of Bai Yu's mouth raised slightly, she had already seen through these people.
Old Madam Pei looked at Bai Yu, smiled and nodded, although she didn't know why Bai Yu had an admission letter, but she believed in Bai Yu's strength.
Tang Xin was also stunned, she didn't expect that she and Bai Yu were classmates.
