No one would know about such a remote place.
Moreover, Grandpa Bai had also said that Ajiu had already stayed in the temple when she was an infant.
Although Ajiu had always said that she would look for her family when she grew up, no one would take her words seriously.
In fact, nobody would take a child's words seriously.
Thus, Gu Rou was certain that even if Ajiu had a family, it would only be those poor farmers who simply abandoned their children because they could not afford to raise them properly.
Chapter 1257 - Non-Stop Face-Smacking for Bai Zhun
It had always been Gu Rou's hunch Ajiu came from a poor family.
As lucky as she was, Ajiu met a kind-hearted monk who picked her up and brought her back to the temple.
That was how she got the attention of the Bai Family, who then brought her home.
If it wasn't for the fact that the monk was also Bai Zhun's master, nobody would know who Ajiu was. At most, she was just a village girl!
How could she possibly become Bai Zhun's sister?
It was precisely because of this relationship that Gu Rou wanted to isolate her so desperately.
How could an orphan just rely on luck to become the treasure of the Bai Family. She was also the only person that Bai Zhun allowed to get close to him.
But now, someone actually told her that that child wasn't some village girl, but the little princess of the Jue Wei Group!
Gu Rou only felt her face burn with pain. Disbelief simply couldn't describe her current feelings.
Because the smile on the corner of Helian Weiwei's mouth was clearly telling her what it meant to bring humiliation upon herself.
The scene made her heart thump as she knew that she was doomed.
The two girls who had been following behind her proudly earlier could not help but turn pale too.
It was Gu Rou who told them that Ajiu was not the biological granddaughter of the Bai Family and was carried from an unknown mountain.
Therefore, they did not take that child seriously.
Now, when they thought of what they had said before, the two girls started trembling.
They had no time to curry favor with her. Neither could they afford to provoke her!
Such news was indeed like a bomb.
Not only did it give a heavy blow to those who had mocked Ajiu, but it also astounded Bai Zhun. Shock was written all over his clean, handsome face.
He looked at the child that he had raised for nearly eight years.
He had never thought that the other party would have relatives other than himself.
Ever since they were on the mountain, that child had used her soft little hand to hold his fingertip. She was dressed in a kasaya and had a bald head. She called him little brother seriously, saying that she would treat him well in the future.
Bai Zhun told himself that he must raise this child as his own and give her whatever she wanted.
She could have what she wanted as long as he could get it.
It didn't matter if Ajiu didn't have a father or mother.
He remembered that when she was young, the little girl would always flip in his arms. She even said that her mother had sent her away for a reason, but the specific reason was not mentioned.
At that time, Bai Zhun only felt heartache because he could clearly see the yearning hidden in the child's eyes.
He thought that she had lost her parents long ago, just like him, so he used these words to comfort himself.
But now...
Bai Zhun looked at the child's adorable face, and for a moment, his mind was in tumult.
He didn't know how to describe that feeling.
His girl had always had her own family...
"No wonder Ajiu had always liked Baili Shangxie since she was young! She was very enthusiastic about his movies and so on! "Li Hailou's IQ seemed to have been suddenly lit up. At once, he slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Oh my God, so that's how it is! To defend the image of that guy in her heart, she had shot me fierce gazes many times..."
Xiao Lin also remembered the first time he took Ajiu shopping. That was also Ajiu saw Baili Shangxie on the big screen of the advertis.e.m.e.nt in the shopping mall.
At that time, because of this matter, Bai Zhun got so jealous that he made a fuss about living outside...
Now that he thought about it, as a younger sister, she definitely had limitless support and affection for her elder brother.
Also, when they met Helian Qingchen in the school cafeteria, no wonder Ajiu would have such a big reaction. She glared at them with vigilance, not giving in the slightest.
At that time, they still did not understand why Ajiu would fight with them to such an extent because of an outsider.
Now, the truth was revealed.
When they met Helian Qingchen, she was being mocked by two girls at the side.
Despite her impetuous temper, Ajiu did not directly rush over at that time and kicked him away, which was a great manifestation of her tolerance.
It was probably because Ajiu wanted to give them face that she did not beat Gu Rou and the others.
But even so, he and Hai Lou were very clear about Bai Zhun's condition that day.
Bai Zhun did not attend that afternoon's class, nor was he in the mood to care about other things.
Otherwise, Gu Rou would not have been excited for so long.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin turned his eyes and couldn't help but glance in Bai Zhun's direction.
Right now, the identity of the person Bai Zhun cared the most was confirmed.
Since Helian Qingchen was Ajiu's elder brother, the two of them should be fine.
However, Xiao Lin also knew that Bai Zhun did all the things that he had disdained in the past for Ajiu's sake.
For example, doing business far away from home.
He would be the one who opened up the network and be in charge of all the operations and commands.
They earned a lot and were also very good at making investments. After all, resources were placed there.
All of this was because he wanted to become stronger.
Bai Zhun had once told him personally that even if there was no Bai Family, he would still give Ajiu the best life.
But now, not only did Ajiu have a family, but she also had a powerful family background.
Based on Bai Zhun's character, besides being happy, there should be something more profound.
Helian Weiwei did not look at the reactions of the others. Her eyes were only looking at the Gu Family as she stretched out her hand and touched Ajiu's head. Her voice was neither flat nor indifferent, but it immediately changed Old Master Gu's expression.
"The misunderstanding I mentioned is this misunderstanding." Helian Weiwei laughed lightly. "My daughter is not as poor as Miss Gu thought. Originally, I didn't want to make such a big fuss. After all, it's just a seventeen-year-old girl. Instead of enjoying her youth, she insisted on hiding so many schemes against Ajiu, who is much younger than she is. Old Master Gu, does your Gu Family really think that there's no one behind my daughter?"
When Old Master Gu heard this, he looked at everyone and hurriedly explained, "This is all a misunderstanding. Xiao Rou definitely has no intention of confronting Ajiu!"
Chapter 1258 - Teach the Gu Family a Lesson
"Old Master Gu."Helian Weiwei curled her lips. "Do you really think that I can't hear anything? Just now, every word your granddaughter said was deliberately making everyone think that Ajiu is the problem in this matter. I have to say that this move was indeed executed quite successfully."
"I didn't, Madam Helian, I really didn't do that!" Gu Rou's charming eyes were red, as if she was trying her best to suppress her grievance. In a low voice, she said to Helian Weiwei, "I simply couldn't think of so many things, how could I possibly lead others? If Madam really thinks that I made Ajiu suffer grievance, I can apologize for whatever you want me to do. After all, I really didn't know that Ajiu is your daughte
r."
Those who didn't know the reason behind this scene would think that Helian Weiwei was using her power to make things difficult for the others.
In fact, the one who was making things difficult was still a young girl who was only seventeen years old.
Looking at Gu Rou's haggard little face, Helian Weiwei suddenly smiled. "Since it's like this, then why not you apologize first."
After hearing Helian Weiwei's words, Gu Rou's figure shook as a trace of uneasiness flashed across her good-looking face.
In reality, how could she be willing to apologize?
So many people were watching.
To personally say sorry to another person was simply a kind of torture for Gu Rou.
However, judging from the current situation, if she didn't say anything, it would only make things worse.
Thinking of this, Gu Rou gently bit her red lips. Her eyes were red as she stared at Ajiu and said, "Ajiu, I don't know why things have gotten to this point. It was clearly just a birthday gift, but it caused everyone to have a misunderstanding. If my unintentional actions make you feel uncomfortable, then I will apologize to you."
After Gu Rou finished speaking, she turned her head and started crying. It was as if she'd been wronged.
Old Master Gu also felt uncomfortable when he saw this. Turning his head toward Helian Weiwei, he questioned her angrily, "Are you satisfied now?"
"No, I'm not satisfied."
These words weren't uttered by Helian Weiwei.
Instead, it was Baili Jiajue who stood at the side and had been remaining silent from the beginning.
In an instant, Ajiu's round almond eyes turned around and looked over.
Baili Jiajue also saw her at first glance.
Then he stretched out his hand and pressed it on her little head, rubbing it back and forth.
With his hands clad in black gloves, he genuinely looked like a character from manga.
His handsome and noble face was still very calm.
But for certain reason, the moment he opened his mouth, that cold and sinister feeling suddenly became very strong.
Ajiu raised her hand and touched the top of her head that had been c.a.r.e.s.sed by her father. She was stunned.
Her father just touched her head?
Did her father just touch her head?!
There was only one thought lingering in Ajiu's mind.
Baili Shangxie and Helian Qingchen, who were watching from the side, raised their eyebrows instantly.
Thinking back to those years, their father had never touched their heads. It was good enough if he did not treat them violently.
When dealing with Qing Chen, Baili Jiajue still had a bit of patience.
When dealing with Baili Shangxie, he really manifested his manly brutal nature to the fullest.
Baili Shangxie basically didn't want to think about it anymore. A few thousand years ago, in order to find his mother, his father was so angry that he almost destroyed Baili Shangxie.
Now, the Gu Family was actually throwing a tantrum at his mother.
They were just too daring.
Old Master Gu still didn't realize what he was going to face next.
He only felt that the Baili Family was deliberately looking for trouble. As that old face darkened, the anger in his voice also became more intense. "President Jue, are you really going to make things difficult for my Gu Family?"
Baili Jiajue looked at him, and the corner of his mouth slowly curved into a slightly glacial smile. "The apology was not sincere enough. Do you still think that I am making things difficult for your Gu Family?"
"I-I've already apologized, is it still not sincere enough?" Gu Rou's face turned pale; her eyes looked at everyone; her beautiful eyes slightly filled with tears. In a very pitiful manner, she lowered her head and muttered, "It's just a misunderstanding with Ajiu. How do you want me to apologize? The Jue Wei Group can't bully people like this."
Without saying anything, Baili Jiajue only curved his lower lip.
That smile was extremely cold.
It was so cold that it made Gu Cheng, who had been watching from the side, subconsciously shiver.
He kept wondering what went wrong in his family.
But he couldn't tell the source of the problem.
At this time, Baili Shangxie gave a vicious laugh, "Are you accusing me of bullying?"
As he spoke, he took a step toward Gu Rou's direction. With a cold smile, he enunciated each word clearly, "If you say so, then let me tell you, the one we're bullying is you."
"How dare you!" Gu Rou took a deep breath as her eyes turned red. Even her shoulders began to tremble. She looked extremely weak and pitiful in such a miserable state.
To console Gu Rou, Old Master Gu patted her back. Following that, his expression also became a lot more serious, "Our Gu Family has always been gentle and never wanted to make enemies with anyone. Jue Wei Group is a big business, which our Gu family really can't afford to offend. However, President Jue, if you guys keep making things difficult for us, we will not take a step back!"
As soon as Old Master Gu made his words clear, the hall immediately burst into a clamor.
After all, those who came to the Bai family's birthday banquet were all influential figures.
These people were different from ordinary businessmen.
Most of them enjoyed fame, wealth, and power.
Upon hearing the argument, some righteous old military officers cast their disapproving gaze at the Baili Family.
"Isn't this too overbearing?"
"Isn't the apology acceptable?"
"The Gu lady didn't do anything wrong after all."
The arguments kept boiling in the hall.
However, at this time, Helian Weiwei spoke with an indifferent expression, "It seems that if we don't show some concrete evidence, some people won't admit that they have done something wrong. Indeed, we should teach the Gu Family some manners before we can decide the true bully here."
Soon after that, Helian Weiwei raised her finger.
With a snap of her finger, the large television screen in the hall suddenly lit up.
L, who was holding a gun with one hand, and monkey, who was holding a notebook with his left hand, stood at the connection point and made an OK sign toward Helian Weiwei.
"Boss, we can start now!"
What was going to happen?
Everyone was shrouded in uncertainty.
After a period of buffering, Gu Rou's figure suddenly appeared on the screen!
In an instant, everyone present looked in the direction of the screen!
Chapter 1259 - The Embarrassed Gu Rou
Everyone was familiar with the location on the screen. It was a particular corner of the Bai family's courtyard.
However, the scene on the screen was not at night, but in the afternoon. The banquet had yet to begin.
There were two other men beside Gu Rou. They were dressed as receptionists, but they did not look like members of the Bai Family. Instead, they looked like members of the Gu Family.
Although the video wasn't very clear, and their voices had also been blurred by the rustling sound of the system, one could still faintly hear what Gu Rou told them.
As soon as this scene was shown, the tears in Gu Rou's eyes froze. She even forgot that she was still pretending to be pitiful. She was so anxious that she wanted to rush toward the power cord.
However, Helian Weiwei was one step ahead of her and blocked her way. With a glacial expression, she said, "It hasn't started yet. Why are you in such a hurry, Miss Gu?"
"Grandfather!" Gu Rou knew that she couldn't go over, so she could only turn her head and tightly hold on to Old Master Gu's sleeve so that he could help her.
As Old Master Gu looked at Baili Jiajue, he heavily knocked on his dragon-headed walking stick. Anger was written all over his face as he yelled, "What on earth do you want to do? Why is my granddaughter on the screen?!"
"Haven't your Gu Family always been kind
and honest?" The smile on the corner of Baili Jiajue's mouth was tainted with animosity, the intensity of which was even more clearly expressed by his brows. As his words fell, there seemed to be some invisible fog surging back and forth behind him, which made it impossible for people to get close.
Old Master Gu could only stare with his eyes wide open in anger and panic. "Baili Jiajue!"
"Shh, lower your voice." Baili Jiajue placed his slender fingers between his lips, his movements elegant and devilish. As he forced a smile, he said, "My people are bad-tempered. If you keep agitating like this, I'm not sure whether they'll hurt you."
That's right, it's them.
Each of the black-clothed men was transformed from the monsters behind Baili Jiajue.
Those goons of the Gu family didn't know whether they had an illusion, but they always felt that when those black-clothed men blocked them, their eyes seemed to be suffused with a scarlet red that made their opponents tremble.
Looking at this scene, Baili Shangxie laughed evilly.
Helian Qingchen's expression was indifferent, but his fingers kept c.a.r.e.s.sing Ajiu's head. Standing like that with his sister, he cast a cold glance at the Gu Family.
After settling the distractions from the Gu Family, Helian Weiwei glanced at monkey and L, indicating for them to continue.
As the play button was pressed, everyone could hear what Gu Rou said in the video clip.
"When you see her, you must chase her away, understood?"
When she said this, Gu Rou paused and took out a stack of money from her wallet. As she shoved the money to the two men, she said, "Settle this. Don't let anyone know."
The two men didn't accept it at first, as if they were still a little worried. "Miss, this is the Bai Family's banquet, not the Gu Family's. If we don't let her go home, will there be any trouble later?"
"What trouble could there be?" Gu Rou placed the money in their hands and smiled gently, as if she was very confident. "Don't worry, entering and leaving this house requires a birthday invitation. She doesn't have an invitation on her, and she doesn't want to come back with us, so it's normal that she won't be able to enter the Bai Family. When that time comes, no one will suspect you. They will only think that she didn't attend the banquet because she was late."
