Chapter 170
Chapter 170
Hezheng found out that his great-granddaughter's temperament had been raised, but he couldn't let it go. This was his only direct descendant, and he didn't want to see him go further and further down the wrong path, and he would be the one who ruined himself in the end.So while thinking about how to correct He Yuemei's temper and cognition, she also wanted to make up for the Xiao family.
Hezheng hadn't started to act yet, and Patriarch Xiao, who also wanted to make up for the relationship with the Alchemist Guild and Hezheng, came to the alchemist guild early the next morning with generous gifts to apologize. All the faults were his lax parenting. He made a big mistake by making his son speak wild words, and as soon as Xiao Ruiyuan's injuries healed, he would send his son to another place to make him suffer a little bit, only then did he realize how hard-won these days are.
Patriarch Xiao's apology attracted many people's attention. After all, he had only damaged the reputation of the alchemist guild just a moment ago. Now seeing his appearance full of self-blame and shame, he kept saying that he was not strict in teaching his children and didn't mention any other mistakes. , but people feel sympathetic to the patriarch and father. After all, many alchemists have become fathers and elders themselves. The responsibility of the head of the family alone, thinking about Xiao Ruiyang, who is also his son, there is no way for him to find a big mistake in every aspect.
Some people say that Mrs. Xiao spoiled Xiao Ruiyuan. It's not like I haven't heard of such a thing before. Yesterday, someone saw Mrs. Xiao taking her servants to the square to save her son. It looked like someone else had bullied her son, and Xiao Ruiyuan There is no mistake, I can only say that it is not a bad thing to feel sorry for your son and spoil your children, but once you cross the line, it will harm your children.
He Zheng felt ashamed in his heart, how could he say harsh words, Patriarch Xiao didn't mention his great-granddaughter at all, he was already saving face for the He family and this old guy, how could he not know how to embarrass this father, There is even a feeling of pity for each other, the younger generation is difficult to teach, and the elders are difficult to do. Fortunately, the children under Xiao's father are not like Xiao Ruiyuan.
Hezheng accepted the gift from the Xiao family, and the alchemist guild did not issue a clause to cut off the supply of elixir to the Xiao family, and still received the same treatment as before, and the alchemists in the guild were not allowed to use this to cause trouble.
"Thank you, President He, for your magnanimity. Xiao is really ashamed. I have to rush to the White House. My wicked son is really..." Father Xiao also had no face to mention yesterday's incident. The source was the humiliation of Lin Wen, so Regardless of whether it was done out of sincerity or for others to see, it is still necessary to give an explanation to the humiliated second-rank alchemist, otherwise it would appear to others that the Xiao family had to bow their heads only due to the power of the alchemist guild.
Hezheng supported his beard and said: "It's difficult for you, I have suffered on behalf of the child, and I will not stop you. From now on, the children's affairs can be decided by the children themselves. As an elder, I will not interfere."
Patriarch Xiao immediately understood the meaning of President He's words, he would not intervene in the matter between He Yuemei and his eldest son, and the eldest son would not use the identity of President of the Alchemist Guild to persecute him if he disagreed with President He. If they can't become in-laws, the relationship between the Xiao family and the alchemist guild will not change.
This made Xiao's father feel relieved, and at the same time, he admired President He's character and integrity even more. The only shortcoming was probably that Miss He was too domineering and powerful. Patriarch Xiao couldn't bear the old face of Yuemei's actions, he was overwhelmed by a girl who could be his daughter, and his face was dull.
"Xiao is the same, the child is grown up, as long as the child doesn't regret it, I shouldn't control too much as a father."
Patriarch Xiao expressed the same meaning, and when Hezheng looked over with a smile, he finally showed his first smile, even though it was a bit reluctant, but it was good news anyway.
Watching the people from the Xiao family leave, the people from the alchemist guild who gathered here were still discussing, and as He Zheng walked away, the voices of the discussions became louder. Many people didn't know that Miss He came to them before. Now that Nan'an City is here, not only do we know that Miss He is here, but also that she is a third-rank alchemist and has the title of Fairy Crane in the imperial city. There are too many topics to talk about.
Although angry at Xiao Ruiyuan's behavior, but now everyone can more or less guess that their Miss He is really here for Xiao Ruiyang. Some people say why Xiao Ruiyang is so lucky, there are many admirers in Nan'an City, I went to the imperial city once and hooked up with another one. I can't even envy such a beautiful blessing, especially Miss He's condition and appearance, which simply knocked everyone in Nan'an City down eighteen streets.
Someone trembled: "Not everyone can afford Miss He."
When talking, he looked around carefully, his voice was extremely low, and many people felt sorry for him, but no, someone had already described the scene of yesterday in full, and Miss He fanned Xiao Ruiyuan in front of the Xiao family couple. A slap in the face, although it is quite relieved, but it is estimated that few people can bear it so mercilessly in front of the elders.
"Actually, it's not Mr. Xiao's fault. Xiao Ruiyang only likes Patriarch Bai from the beginning to the end. It's not easy for the two of them."
"However, Miss He's conditions are so good, I don't know if Xiao Ruiyang can insist on not wavering in his heart. When do you think Xiao Ruiyang will come back? Or should our Miss He find it by himself?"
Hearing the discussion from outsiders, Di Ming shook his head secretly. Before yesterday, even he didn't know Miss He was here, so he felt a little sympathetic to Xiao Ruiyang for having such an extra suitor for nothing.
Before the Xiao family and his party arrived at the White Mansion, Bai Yi received a report, called Lin Wen, and opened the door of the mansion to welcome Patriarch Xiao.
Bai Yi and Patriarch Xiao are both heads of the family, and their identities should be equal when interacting. Unfortunately, this is Xiao Ruiyang's elder, so there are not many opportunities to meet each other. Now this person is apologizing for Xiao Ruiyuan, and it is impossible for him to shut him up. The gate does not allow people to come.
"Awen, what do you think? It doesn't matter if you don't want to accept it, don't worry about uncle." The elder also came to cheer the Patriarch. Hearing the Patriarch's words, he twitched his mouth. Shi always knew his identity, so he would not lose face to the Bai family.
Lin Wen said helplessly: "Even President He accepted Patriarch Xiao's apology and did not pursue it. How dare I, a second-rank alchemist, turn people away? If Patriarch Xiao is not allowed to enter, Nan'an City will pass me on immediately. This newcomer must be unruly. It doesn't matter, anyway, I found the place myself yesterday, and it is not easy for an elder, Patriarch Xiao, to apologize for his son."
"Haha, Ah Wen is a good boy." The elder was very happy.
"Then let's go together."
When Patriarch Xiao got off the carriage, he saw Bai Yi in a wheelchair leading the Bai family to the door, seeing Bai Yi calmly and calmly with his usual smile, he was a little embarrassed, and felt that there was something wrong with him as an elder. It's not as good as Bai Yi's twin sons. You can see it from the development of Bai's business. The Bai's is thriving, but the Xiao's rise is completely based on the reputation of the eldest son, but the foundation is not at all. It is strong and may be submerged at any time.
But he has the ability to revive a family that is on the verge of being broken. The advantages that he deliberately ignored before are all presented in his mind one by one. Even his legs are bad, which also brings out Patriarch Bai's temperament from another aspect. Uncommon tenacity and ability.
Seeing Shuang'er next to Bai Yi, it's no wonder that rumors spread from the White Mansion that this Shuang'er is Bai Yi's illegitimate son. If he saw Shuang'er at first glance, he would have such a misunderstanding, and he couldn't help thinking about this Shuang'er in his heart. Patriarch Xiao was a little skeptical about the son's real life experience and what he said was the blood of the side line that was scattered outside. Such a similar blood relationship should be closer, but he can conclude that his eldest son probably also knows about this twin's life experience.
Patriarch Xiao couldn't be as willing to face down as he was in front of He Zheng. After entering the White Mansion, the atmosphere was still a bit awkward, and the third elder's party didn't show up at all.
Patriarch Xiao made a long story short, and explained how to deal with Xiao Ruiyuan. Lin Wen understood that this was to send Xiao Ruiyuan away from Nan'an City after he recovered from his injuries. Sending someone to a place with a harsh environment like Wushan Town, it is not easy to leave, unless he changes his temper before letting someone take him away.Lin Wen said that Patriarch Xiao should have made up his mind a long time ago, otherwise he would be so arrogant, not this time, but next time he would still cause trouble.
Wu Xiao never forgot to teach that kid a lesson. It would be easy to beat him to death. Wu Xiao's logic was that humiliating his own contractor was tantamount to humiliating Wu Xiao.Fortunately, Xiao Ruiyuan's situation is bad enough now, so Wu Xiao decided to temporarily press such a plan, so Lin Wen felt that Xiao Ruiyuan should be thankful, otherwise he would fall into the hands of the elusive Wu Xiao, huh? Both parties are very polite, and Bai Yi is also generous. He said that since Xiao Ruiyuan had learned his lesson, the Bai family would no longer pursue him.
For the identity of alchemist Lin Wen, Patriarch Xiao took great pains. He sent a lot of spiritual herbs and other resources that second-rank alchemists could use. No matter how distressed Patriarch Xiao is to eliminate disasters, he has to do it.
Bai Yi didn't push it out, and accepted it for Lin Wen, expressing that the past was not to blame, and sent Patriarch Xiao out of the house properly.
The carriage started to move, looking at the gate of the White Mansion behind, Patriarch Xiao heaved a long sigh, Patriarch Bai surpassed He Yuemei many times in terms of means and abilities, his son could not be too devoted to such two children.
When the eldest son comes back, I really need to discuss with him how to rectify the Xiao family and plan for the long-term development of the Xiao family. The faster the promotion, the more the disadvantages of the Xiao family will be exposed. The head of the Xiao family regretted not listening to the eldest son before. The eldest son has far-sightedness than him, and obviously discovered the problems existing in the Xiao family earlier.
The second elder also followed the whole process, and has been paying attention to Bai Yi's performance. The result made him not know whether to be happy or disappointed. Bai Yi completely treated the other party as an equal family leader, not the attitude of a junior treating an elder, or even flattering him at all. None, it's all based on the interests of the Bai family.
Sending off the Xiao family, Lin Wen pushed his uncle's wheelchair back, the first elder walked beside him, and the second elder left with a sullen face.
The Great Elder glanced at the direction he was leaving, and said cheerfully: "He sees clearly with his eyes, but he is awkward in his heart. He can't turn the corner for a while, but fortunately, he won't blindly accept that side. If you are deceived, you will not object to the actions of the Patriarch regardless of right or wrong."
Bai Yi smiled and shook his head. To be honest, he couldn't beat this stubborn old man, and he couldn't drive him away, which was the most headache.
