Chapter 144
"Second Miss of the Bai Family?"
Hearing this, Lu Fang was stunned at first, he had heard Chu Tianli mention this person, and he was Chu Tianli's former fiancée, but because the Chu family was destroyed, this marriage was annulled.
Now the fiancé that Rose is talking about is definitely not Chu Tianli.
Who's it doesn't know.
However, although the forces behind the other party are strong, it is estimated that they are not as good as Chu Tianli, and besides, no one came, so Lu Yi didn't care.
As he was talking, he saw Bai Yuanqing, who had just left, returned to the lawn.
"Hehe, everyone, it's an honor for you to be able to participate in Bai's birthday banquet today"
This time, Bai Yuanqing did not come out with the support of others, but walked alone with a cane, followed by Bai Yushu and Bai Weiwei, who had just left with him.
Compared with Bai Yuanqing, Bai Yushu's face did not have any smile, but a sad face.
However, the protagonist of this birthday banquet was Bai Yuanqing, and everyone's eyes were focused on Bai Yuanqing's body, thus ignoring Bai Yushu's expression at this time.
As one of the four major families, the Bai family wants to curry favor with Bai Yuanqing in order to gain some benefits.
Seeing that the birthday feast had begun, the heads of these small families began to offer gifts that they had been preparing for a long time.
"The Zhao family sent a century-old ginseng tree",
"The Ning family sent a pair of Hetian jade bracelets", "The
Yang family sent a jade Buddha"
...
Although Bai Yuanqing didn't like the gifts of these small families, he still had to do enough work on the surface, and he happily accepted the gifts.
As the gifts of the small families ended, the other three families of the four major families also sent congratulatory gifts.
At this time, behind Bai Yuanqing, an old man who was the same age as him but looked radiant slowly walked out and protected Bai Yuanqing.
Among the other three families, the first to give gifts was the Zhou family.
Zhou Minghua, the head of the Zhou family, was followed by a middle-aged man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist.
The middle-aged man was holding a long red box, and a turquoise jade Ruyi was lying on the box.
"The Zhou family gave a little
jade Ruyi" Zhou Minghua didn't make much introduction, but everyone knew that the price of this jade Ruyi was definitely much more expensive than the gifts of these people.
saw the middle-aged man with a tiger's back and a bear waist walking forward with a long box on his back, and the old man in front of Bai Yuanqing also stepped forward, the two looked at each other, with a hint of hostility in their eyes.
When he took the long box, the middle-aged man pressed down with both hands, and the long box in his hand did not move like a mountain, as if he had no intention of sending it out.
The gift-giving between the four major families is nominally a gift, but in fact, it is just a competition for family strength.
The middle-aged man holding the long box is the strongest offering of the Zhou family, and the old man of the Bai family who receives the gift is the strongest offering of the Bai family.
On the surface, the two of them seem to be giving and receiving gifts, but in fact, they are still competing for strength behind their backs, if the old man of the Bai family can take it, it means that the strength of the Bai family is stronger.
If it can't be accepted, it means that the strength of the Zhou family is stronger.
The strong are respected, if the Bai family loses to any family this time, then he will have no chance to be the chief of the four major families.
"It's actually all dark strength martial artists"
Lu Fang's eyes narrowed slightly, he had already noticed something unusual, he originally thought it was just an ordinary gift, but he didn't expect that there was still a secret surge in it.
However, the victory or defeat is already very obvious, the middle-aged man of the Zhou family is only in the early stage of dark energy, and the old man of the Bai family is already in the late stage of dark energy, but after a moment's effort, the gift has been taken.
"It's rude,"
the middle-aged man clenched his fists and said goodbye.
Zhou Minghua didn't care, his Zhou family has always been the bottom of the four major families, even if he loses, he is not ashamed.
It was followed by the Sun family.
The worship of the Sun family was also a goatee old man in the early stage of dark energy, and he was soon defeated.
It was followed by the Xie family.
However, the Xie family came prepared this time, and Ai Wen, a white man invited by the Xie family, was holding a sandalwood box in his hand, on which was lying a night pearl that was so green that he panicked.
"Please accept the gift"
Ai Wen smiled faintly, and did not take the old man of the Bai family in front of him in his eyes.
The old man of the Bai family frowned, he couldn't see through the realm of the person in front of him, which showed that the strength of the other party was very likely to be above him.
However, even so, the old man of the Bai family still reached out to take the box, and the moment he stretched out his hand, Ai Wen shook it with one hand and grabbed the old man's hand of the Bai family.
The next moment, a terrifying power came from the palm of his hand, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on the forehead of the old man of the Bai family, and a painful look appeared on his face.
Seeing this scene, Bai Yuanqing knew that the Bai family had lost.
Bai Yushu got the news just now, Miao Hong didn't know for what reason he had left Jiangbei, and his Bai family had no chance to regain the position of the chief of the four major families in the hands of the Xie family.
"Enough, this gift from the Xie family, my Bai family can't afford it," Bai
Yuanqing said in a deep voice.
"Hehe, I'm sorry Bai Lao, he doesn't understand the rules, let you see it, Lord Aiwen, please give the gift to Bai Lao"
Xie Jiancheng smiled and said.
Ai Wen nodded and handed the box to Bai Yuanqing.
Bai Yuanqing accepted the gift with a cold face, and then gave it to the other bodyguards next to him.
At this point, the Bai family's gift-giving link is almost over.
However, just then, a man dressed as a butler stepped forward and offered a gift that had been placed at the door early.
"Who gave it here"
Just lost to the Xie family, Bai Yuanqing's face was very ugly, and when he saw the gift from an unknown person sent by a housekeeper, his face couldn't see where to go.
"I don't know, but the man said that you will definitely like this gift"
As a steward, he has a certain duty to ensure the safety of his master, so he will not take such a gift from a stranger.
But the other party gave too much.
So the housekeeper only tested it with an instrument, and after finding that there was no danger, he sent it over.
Seeing this beautifully packaged box, Bai Yuanqing frowned and gave the old man of the Bai family next to him a look.
The old man of the Bai family nodded and stepped forward to open the box.
Soon, an antique wall clock appeared in front of the old man of the Bai family.
He frowned and did not speak.
Bai Yuanqing also noticed the other party's abnormality, stepped forward, glanced at it, and anger suddenly surged into his heart.
"It's the other way around, who did this, you dare to curse me with a clock"
Bai Yuanqing's thin right hand grabbed the wall clock on the gift box and slammed it on the ground.
The wall clock flicked on the grass and lay on it intact.
Seeing this scene, Bai Yuanqing's face turned red with anger.
Sending the bell is the same as sending the end, and sending this thing at the birthday banquet is clearly cursing him to die early.
His first instinct when he got it was to smash it and get rid of bad luck.
But I didn't expect this wall clock to be so sturdy and not rotten.
