Chapter 514: Somewhat Like an Old Friend
Chapter 514: Somewhat Like an Old Friend
In the restroom.
Bai Ruoshu finally found an excuse and successfully left the old man.
Standing in front of the makeup mirror, I could no longer maintain the smile on my face.
She tried so hard to stand by the old man's side, but in the end she was paired with an adopted son!
Who are you looking down on?
Bai Ruoshu's face was gloomy. Just when she was about to vent her anger, her mother Yang Jingwei opened the door and came in, then locked it.
"What are you doing? It's too embarrassing to run out in front of so many people."
"Am I not ugly enough? Is an adopted son worthy of having a relationship with me?"
Seeing that there was no one around, Bai Ruoshu didn't bother to pretend to be a lady anymore.
Yang Jingwei sneered, "The old man brought back an adopted son for no reason, and none of the elders of the Gong family stood up, which means they knew about it a long time ago. And take a closer look at that adopted son, and see if he looks very similar to the old man."
As soon as these words came out.
Bai Ruoshu calmed down immediately.
Thinking back to Gong Yao's appearance, especially his eyes, they were exactly the same as the old man's.
"Gong Yao belongs to the old man..."
"Adopted son. If the old man says he is an adopted son, then he is an adopted son." Yang Jingwei interrupted immediately.
Bai Ruoshu nodded.
But she didn't look good.
"I don't like him. Not only does he not look as good as the Third Master, but he has been dormant for so long and is willing to come back as an adopted son. He is definitely not a simple person."
Yang Jingwei frowned and advised: "The old man obviously favors his adopted son. In this world, only those who are beneficial to oneself are useful. What does a face mean?"
Bai Ruoshu said unhappily, "One face? Mom, you don't really think that the Third Master only has one face? Don't you think it's strange that he didn't show any emotion when he saw Gong Yao just now?"
Yang Jingwei hesitated.
"You mean he knew?"
"Mom, I don't believe that the Third Master will lose to an adopted son, so I will definitely be the Third Wife. You and Dad, help me think of a way to get back to the old man." Bai Ruoshu urged.
After meeting Gong Chen, Yang Jingwei also felt that he was no ordinary person.
But if Gong Yao has the old man's help, it is hard to say what his future will be like.
"Ruoshu, wait and see what happens first, so as not to offend both sides."
Hear the words.
Bai Ruoshu felt that what her mother said made sense. If she wanted to marry Gong Chen, she had to get the old man's approval.
If I refuse now, I would be disrespecting the old man.
Then all her previous efforts were in vain.
So, she had to find a logical reason.
As she thought about it, Bai Ruoshu smiled.
"Mom, what if Gong Yao rejects me himself?"
"You mean...Lin Zhiyi?" Yang Jingwei looked at her.
Bai Ruoshu chuckled and nodded.
Yang Jingwei frowned, "No, the Second Master came out to defend her today, and it was obviously the Third Master's idea. You have been humiliated. If you stir up trouble again, it will affect your reputation. You should calm down for a few days."
Bai Ruoshu was somewhat dissatisfied, but she couldn't refute it.
All I could say was, "Okay, let's get out first. The fragrance in here is too bad. I've gotten some of it on me."
"It's okay. I brought perfume. I'll spray some on you."
"Ah."
Bai Ruoshu took the perfume handed to her by Yang Jingwei, sprayed it twice, and took a deep breath.
"Mom, your special orchid scent is different. It smells really good."
"Take it if you like."
Yang Jingwei patted Bai Ruoshu's hand lovingly.
The mother and daughter cleared their gloom and left the bathroom chatting and laughing.
……
the other side.
When Lin Zhiyi and Liu He returned to the banquet hall, Liu He's high heels twisted and she accidentally bumped into a guest who was about to leave.
"Sorry." Lin Zhiyi supported Liu He and apologized quickly.
"fine."
The man's voice was deep and a little serious.
Lin Zhiyi slowly raised her eyes and saw a handsome middle-aged man.
And the other party was staring at him.
After Liu He saw the other person clearly, he quickly said, "Boss Bai, I'm sorry."
Mr. Bai?
Lin Zhiyi subconsciously looked at Liu He with a questioning look.
Liu He nodded calmly.
He is Bai Ruoshu's father, Bai Zhengxian.
Lin Zhiyi felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by him, and reminded him in a low voice: "Boss Bai."
Bai Zhengxian came back to his senses and said apologetically, "Ms. Lin looks a bit like an old friend."
Lin Zhiyi didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Before she could speak, a voice interrupted their conversation.
"husband."
"dad."
Yang Jingwei and Bai Ruoshu came over.
Yang Jingwei held onto Bai Zhengxian, looked at Liu He and smiled, "Xiao He, what are you guys talking about?"
Liu He felt uneasy when she called him "Xiao He".
Now I just want to run away.
Just as he was thinking about it, Gong Shiyan came over like a savior, holding a small plate in his hand.
"Xiao He, I've been looking for you for a long time. Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat."
"Uh-huh."
Liu He nodded vigorously.
Then he turned and looked at the family of three opposite.
"Boss Bai, we're leaving now. We won't bother you any more."
After saying that, he took Lin Zhiyi and Gong Shiyan and left.
Lin Zhiyi walked past the Bai family's mother and daughter, and a familiar smell of perfume wafted under her nose.
Without waiting for her to figure out what was going on, his gaze lingered on her for a long time.
She didn't dare to stay any longer and could only quicken her pace and leave.
Yang Jingwei watched the loving Liu He family leave and couldn't help but hold her husband tightly.
"Hubby, you must be tired, let's go eat something."
As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Bai Zhengxian.
But I found that he was staring straight ahead.
When I looked over, I saw Lin Zhiyi's back.
Bai Zhengxian didn't come back to his senses until Lin Zhiyi completely disappeared.
"I'm not hungry." He turned and looked at Bai Ruoshu, "Ruoshu, keep a low profile."
Bai Ruoshu did not refute, but was extremely obedient: "I know, Dad."
"I have some friends to meet, I want to go over."
Bai Zhengxian pulled Yang Jingwei's hand away and turned away.
Yang Jingwei narrowed her eyes and it took her a long time to calm down.
"Ruoshu, I suddenly think your suggestion is a good one. Lin Zhiyi is a nuisance anyway, so it's better to get rid of him as soon as possible."
"Okay." Bai Ruoshu smiled.
……
Only after returning to the bustling hall did Lin Zhiyi's back relax.
She sneaked up to Liu He and asked, "Mom, did you smell anything just now?"
Liu He shook his head: "No, I put peppermint oil under my nose. Otherwise, there are so many women's perfumes. If I spit it out, it will be so embarrassing. What's wrong?"
"fine."
Maybe she is overthinking.
There are similar perfumes too, so it's normal for a layman like her to get confused.
As the banquet was coming to an end, Lin Zhiyi received a message from Gong Chen.
"Wait for me in the car."
After reading the message, she immediately looked up and searched for Gong Chen among the crowd.
With his influence, he is wherever there are many people.
But the strange thing was that she couldn't find anyone after looking around.
In the end, I only saw Chen Jin standing next to me.
"Assistant Chen, where is the Third Master?"
"I'm going to the lounge."
"I'll go find him."
Lin Zhiyi had just taken a step when Chen Jin raised his hand to stop her.
"Don't go, the old man is here too, as well as the new guy."
Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi couldn't help but think of what Liu He said.
Gong Chen knew everything, so how should he face the old man? How should he face Gong Yao?
