Even though they were riding in a motorho, the elderly Li Fengguan still seed sowhat fatigued, having taken a nap along the way.
Through the car window, when they saw the quadrangle-style mansion, those Bai Family mbers who had never been here couldn’t help but be astonished.
“Is this the Li Family Villa?
It looks like the estate from ‘The Grand Mansion Gate’!”
“I had no idea they were so wealthy; It’s indeed much better than how we live!”
“This was bought many years ago, back when our family was still cramd into that large shared courtyard, right?”
Everyone inevitably felt a sense of exclamation.
Bai Xiaosheng looked out the window and saw the high walls and grand courtyard, which indeed looked magnificent, but the color sche was cold and gray, giving off a chill air.
Maybe.
it’s just psychological influence playing tricks on , Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself.
Now that we’re here, no matter the grievances of the past, we ultimately have to consider Grandma’s feelings and let bygones be bygones, at least for now.
The Bai Family, along with the elderly lady, carried their things and left the vehicle, one after the other.
So people from the extensive Li Family courtyard also ca out to greet them.
Bai Minghang took the lead in making introductions.
The ones who ca out were Li Wenzun’s two sons, three daughters-in-law, a grandson, a granddaughter, and a little boy running around with a running nose, who was said to be a great-grandson.
The groups exchanged greetings.
Bai Xiaosheng observed coldly from the sidelines.
His two male cousins and three female cousins gave faint smiles, speaking in a tone that was more polite than affectionate.
His two older cousins appeared to be even more perfunctory, looking down at their peers from this side with an air of superiority, and they even held a bit of arrogance towards their uncles and aunts.
When Bai Fei and Bai Ran greeted them, the other side responded with just a light snort through their nose as if that was enough.
“It seems that trying to be amicable this visit might be a bit challenging.
I’ll do my best, but hopefully, they won’t provoke !” Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself.
After a show of strained enthusiasm, the Bai Family mbers were ushered inside.
Li Fengguan hadn’t seen Li Wenzun for many years, and now, she too was a bit excited, and couldn’t help but ask Bai Ran’s second cousin as they walked, “How’s my big brother doing, is he still in good health?”
“Auntie, my dad’s in great health, up in the main room right now.
I’ve already sent word, and he is probably on his way over,” the second cousin said with a laugh.
“Good, good, as long as he’s in good health,” Li Fengguan nodded repeatedly.
Just as she spoke, a little boy burst out, shouting, “My great-grandma said that my great-grandpa is the Longevity Star Deity, and since he is also her big brother, there’s no need for him to co out and greet her; she can just co in and see him!”
This chubby child was the ntioned great-grandson, who had just scurried inside to deliver the ssage, and now he’d brought back such a remark, shouted out loud in front of everyone!
There was an imdiate silence on the scene.
Faces looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly beca sowhat awkward.
“What are you talking about, child?” Li’s second cousin snapped, glaring.
Children speak without a filter, but often that unfiltered speech reveals blunt truths.
Bai Xiaosheng frowned slightly, the Bai Family mbers were a bit displeased, and the expressions among the Li Family mbers were also sowhat unnatural.
“My great-grandma told to tell you all to say to her that my great-grandpa’s legs aren’t working well!” the little boy continued to shout.
The face of Li’s second cousin suddenly darkened, and he made a move to strike, “Scram, you blabbering little brat!”
The little boy’s lips trembled with fear, and he was about to cry.
“Hey, don’t scare him, he’s still young,” Li Fengguan intervened, stopping the second cousin with a gentle smile.
“I ca here to see my big brother, and since my sister-in-law says his legs aren’t well, then I’ll just go to him.”
Li Fengguan didn’t want to create any unpleasantness over such matters.
The second cousin forced a laugh and hurriedly led the way.
Many of the Bai Family mbers remained silent, and Bai Xiaosheng’s frown deepened, but then he relaxed it.
After all, this was Grandma’s own brother, and so respect was still owed!
The group entered the second courtyard and were led to the main room.
Li Wenzun was equally excited upon seeing his younger sister.
As people age, they inevitably beco more emotionally fragile.
Hand in hand, the siblings indeed had quite a bit to say to each other.
With many younger mbers of both families present, naturally, introductions were in order.
The Bai Family mbers each paid their respects to Li Wenzun and Yu Qingi.
Yu Qingi wore an indifferent expression, even her smiles were sparing.
In response to the greetings from the Bai family’s younger generation, she rely nodded slightly, her deanor carrying a lazy air, as if no one could catch her discerning eye.
It was said that when this auntie was young, she was notoriously domineering, and with her family’s wealth, she always held her nose high—a saying that rang true upon witnessing firsthand.
Bai Xiaosheng understood, upon seeing her deanor, why Bai Fei and Bai Ran were so reluctant to visit the Li family.
In her eyes shone a disdainful sense of indifference as if an invisible blade were piercing their pride.
People are dignified beings, and to be condescended to without cause, yet forced to endure it due to respect for the elder, is indeed unbearable.
Perhaps it was the unpleasant mories from childhood, but now grown up, Bai Fei and Bai Ran’s greetings were sowhat unnatural, which only added to Yu Qingi’s disdain.
Soon it was Bai Xiaosheng’s turn.
“Let give you a look!”
Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself.
With continuous training using the Micro-Expression Analysis System, Bai Xiaosheng inadvertently discovered that at certain monts, he could make an expression to amplify his emotions and convey them to the other person.
Ordinary people might think that a fleeting expression has little impact.
But a gaze, a subtle microexpression, if used appropriately, can truly be more powerful than a torrent of words.
Isn’t there a saying online, “I’ll give you a look, go figure it out!”
“Hello Uncle, and my dear auntie…
hello!”
As Bai Xiaosheng greeted them, his eyes t those of Li Wenzun and Yu Qingi directly.
Li Wenzun smiled as he looked at Bai Xiaosheng, his deanor montarily pausing.
He saw in Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes a hint of warmth mixed with dignified authority and an intimidating presence, like the gaze of a superior.
The old man was instantly taken aback.
Yu Qingi saw sothing different!
In sync with the subtle changes in Bai Xiaosheng’s tone, his gaze carried a certain oppressiveness, a touch of sternness, causing Yu Qingi’s heart to skip a beat.
Though it was but a mont, she felt an inexplicable chill.
After Bai Xiaosheng finished greeting them, he turned and walked away, retreating to the back of the crowd.
Li Wenzun and Yu Qingi still felt sowhat dazed.
“This kid is no simple matter!” The two of them almost simultaneously harbored this thought in their hearts.
“Could it be that the Bai family has produced an extraordinary person!” Li Wenzun thought to himself.
“Could it be, they have co here to seek revenge on us!” Yu Qingi thought to herself.
In that instant, Bai Xiaosheng had left them both with a degree of disarray in their minds.
Of course, the others didn’t notice any of this.
Though the house was spacious, it couldn’t accommodate the number of people present.
Having exchanged greetings, the Li family mbers invited the Bai family to the hall outside to sit down, thus giving space and ti to the elders.
The crowd bustled out.
Li Fengguan suddenly caught sight of her eldest brother and sister-in-law, their gazes fixed, looking outside.
Following their eyes, she curiously glanced over and saw the back of Bai Xiaosheng.
Why were these two so concerned about Sheng?
Li Fengguan was quite puzzled.
