Yun Wei’s eyes were red.

Ever since she was acquainted with Bai Xiaojiu. Everyone in the Yun Family, including herself, knew that their statuses were inferior to the Bai Family.

But at this moment, this cousin who grew up overseas and wasn’t close with her at all actually stood up protectively in front of her, against all these people.

Hence, she followed Chu Cichen with no hesitation.

!!

This was also the first time Shen Ruojing ever saw Chu Cichen losing his temper. This loss of temper was different from the past, containing tyranny and also some charm. It seemed to exemplify what a man ought to do.

Woah~

She whistled in her heart. After that, she smiled and followed beside him.

She even felt a little moved now like how she had felt all those years ago. She was fond of this version of Chu Cichen.

Now, the three of them were happy, but the people from the Bai Family were anxious.

Bai Xiaojiu stretched his hand out to hold Yun Wei’s wrist. “Weiwei…”

Yun Wei halted her steps.

Although she was unhappy with the Bai Family, she was truly in love with Bai Xiaojiu. The two of them were currently in the passionate phase.

Hence, Yun Wei also felt some reluctance.

As their interactions took place, Old Master Bai finally caught up. He laughed loudly. “Mr. Chu, that was so charismatic! However, you don’t have to worry. The marriage proposal made by our Bai Family to the Yun Family is definitely a sincere one. As for the matters that happened today, I’ll definitely give all of you a satisfactory explanation!”

He stopped before Chu Cichen. The aged old man then stretched his arm out and patted Chu Cichen on his shoulder. After that, his gaze turned heavy as he swept his eyes over to everyone on the scene.

This old man who ruled the Bai Family for close to four decades caused everyone to shiver in fright once he got angry.

His gaze first landed on his fifth grandson. “Go and kneel in the ancestral hall for two weeks. Other than having food delivered to him, no one is to allow him to go out!”

After that, he looked at Third Madam Bai. “As for you, you are the one who incited the verbal war. You are to visit them personally to apologize. Fourth daughter-in-law, you can accompany her!”

Fourth Madam Bai’s eyes turned red as she lowered her head. “Yes!”

Old Master Bai’s gaze then landed on his eldest grandson and he frowned.

He was very clear that everything today had been arranged by his eldest grandson. Old Fifth was merely his tool. However, his eldest grandson didn’t leave any evidence behind.

At this moment, Bai Zhongzhang’s body stiffened. He suddenly lowered his head and coughed.

Hence, Shen Wanying abruptly stood up and exclaimed, “Zhongzhang!”

She hurried over to support her husband. After feeling his pulse, she furrowed her brows and looked at Bai Xiaojiu. “Xiaojiu, why did you push your eldest brother earlier? You clearly know that he has stomach problems and a weak constitution.”

Earlier?

When he pushed Bai Zhongzhang away to help Yun Wei?

Bai Xiaojiu was stunned. He didn’t really use that much force!

However, Bai Zhongzhang was coughing intensely with his head lowered.

Shen Wanying sighed again and apologized to Old Master Bai and Matriarch Bai. “Grandfather and grandmother, Zhongzhang is not feeling well. I have to bring him back immediately so I can begin acupuncture treatment on him.”

Old Master Bai frowned. But before he could say anything, Matriarch Bai already said, “Go on then, leave quickly!”

Shen Wanying immediately helped Bai Zhongzhang away.

Old Master Bai initially wanted to say something more, but Matriarch Bai immediately defended them. “What are you doing? This matter has nothing to do with Zhongzhang and his wife! Why do you have to harm your family members for the sake of placating the resentment of others? Back then, wasn’t it already enough that you harmed our second son? Now, you still want to harm our grandson?!”

Old Master Bai. “??”

He pursed his lips and suddenly laughed.

After that, he looked at Chu Cichen. “Mr. Chu, will the Yun Family be satisfied now?”

Chu Cichen’s gaze flashed. After that, he pondered and asked, “Old Master Bai, are you certain of your decision?”

Old Master Bai seemed to have come to a decision as he nodded. “Hmm.”

Shen Ruojing glanced at them. She felt as though they were talking about something else using this as a pretext, but she wasn’t able to guess anything. She continued to observe Chu Cichen.

The furrow on his face had faded. He then looked at Yun Wei and said, “Quickly continue and give the gifts you prepared for Old Master Bai!”

This was equal to him acknowledging the marriage!

Fourth Madam Bai heaved a huge sigh of relief and hurried forward to grasp Yun Wei’s hands. “Little Wei, don’t worry. I’ll find a day to bring your Third Aunt to your house personally to apologize!”

After Yun Wei passed the two calligraphy pieces to Old Master Bai, the introductory banquet could be considered to have concluded.

Although there was some unhappiness, the final ending was that both parties were joyful.

Bai Xiaojiu wanted to personally send Yun Wei back to Chu Manor, hence, the four of them boarded two cars.

When Bai Xiaojiu and Yun Wei were on the road, Yun Wei kept turning her head to look at the car behind them.

Bai Xiaojiu smiled and touched her head. “What are you looking at?”

Yun Wei came to her senses, but it felt as though she was still in deep thought. She turned and looked at Bai Xiaojiu. “Say…the calligraphy pieces were clearly torn into shreds, so how did they appear in my cousin-in-law’s hands? Also, before we went back to the banquet, my cousin-in-law and cousin requested a brush and paper, in addition to some other items…”

As she said this, a thought flashed in Yun Wei’s mind. Her eyes abruptly widened. “It can’t possibly be…”

“Silly girl.” Bai Xiaojiu rubbed her head. “I think things are as you expected. However, I’m not clear if Madman is your cousin or cousin-in-law.”

Yun Wei. “!!!”

At this moment, in the other car, Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen sat in the backseat.

When it gradually left the Bai Manor in the distance, Shen Ruojing looked at him and asked, “Why did you compromise although Old Master Bai has yet to punish Bai Zhongzhang?”

Chu Cichen continued, “Because Bai Zhongzhang has committed a great taboo.”

Shen Ruojing was like a curious baby. “What great taboo?”

She was indeed not too familiar with the style and habits of the four great influential families of the capital.

Chu Cichen continued, “Do you know what is the one thing people are least afraid of on the path of nurturing a successor?”

“What?”

“Making mistakes. As long as the successor continues to grow from his mistakes, there’s no need to worry. It wasn’t scary that Bai Zhongzhang made a mistake. What’s scary was that after he committed a mistake, he actually didn’t want to change for the better and only wanted to avoid punishment. In addition, Old Master Bai has silently permitted his cowardly ways.”

Shen Ruojing still didn’t understand. “What does silently permitted means?”

“It means that Old Master Bai has decided to abandon Bai Zhongzhang.” Chu Cichen turned and looked at Shen Ruojing. “So, it’s very possible that Yun Wei might be the future matriarch of the Bai Family.”

Shen Ruojing. “??”

She had originally felt a little regretful because Bai Zhongzhang wasn’t punished. However, she hadn’t expected that Old Master Bai’s punishment was then the harshest one!

Her lips twitched and she still wanted to say something, but Chu Cichen continued, “However, it seems that Old Master Bai dreads Matriarch Bai somewhat. Hence, there might be some disputes later on. When you return, remind your cousin to be more cautious.”

Shen Ruojing’s peach blossom eyes looked at him. “She is also your cousin. Why don’t you remind her?”

His eyes were filled with a myriad of emotions and were extremely soul-stirring.

Chu Cichen looked at her and spoke seriously, “I only helped her because of you.”

“…”

The atmosphere in the car suddenly fell silent.

Because of it, Shen Ruojing faintly felt her cheeks heating up. This car was a small SUV, and the backseat was actually large enough. However, the man beside her simply had too huge of a stature and caused the space in the car to feel a little cramped.

The temperature slowly rose as an ambiguous feeling entwined the two…

Shen Ruojing stared at the man before her. His features were hard, but his skin was as exquisite as a woman’s. Also, his breath was filled with pheromones…

Shen Ruojing suddenly stretched her arm out and hooked it around the man’s neck before slowly pulling him down.

Chu Cichen felt his breathing turning heavy as his heartbeats sped up.

He complied with her strength and allowed himself to be pulled lower. When he slowly turned his head, his gaze landed on her ruby-red lips…

But at the next instant, he heard the clear voice of the woman ringing out beside his ears. “Mr. Chu. Now, can you tell me what exactly happened back then?”
