Chapter 469: Sold
If you think about it more deeply, there are too many interests involved, and the ladies present have different ideas.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Li Haiyan looked at Song Siming in annoyance. The situation she was worried about still appeared.
Just as he was about to say something to warm up, a clear voice sounded,
"Uncle Song, congratulations on your reunion with your daughter."
The voice was young and high-spirited, which immediately broke the awkwardness.
After this sentence, the atmosphere relaxed.
Mu Chengxun didn't expect his son to speak first, but his son's words were good and turned their minds around. It also gave Uncle Song a nice place to step down.
He and Song Siming grew up together. When he saw Bai Zhi, he thought of the woman with bright eyes and white teeth more than 20 years ago.
At that time, Song Siming was planning to marry Bai Shulin, but in the end the two broke up. But I didn't expect that the two of them had a daughter.
The past seemed like yesterday, Mu Chengxun felt as if he was in a time machine, but they are all old now.
He also congratulated Song Siming. The Chen family and the Xiao family, two old cunning people, also expressed their congratulations. They also complained that Song Siming hid her daughter too tightly and did not prepare a gift for the first meeting.
Although Bai Zhi couldn't see it, the quiet air just now said everything.
She is not a popular star, but all scandals are tied to Lu Juefeng.
Her father's family friends are all political and business people, and they must have seen her scandals.
Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she had experienced more intense abuse, so it didn't matter now.
She still kept a smile on her face. Although she couldn't see it, she tried to keep her eyes focused and not look dull.
In the brightly lit living room, the bright lights reflected in her dark jade-like eyes.
She stood quietly next to Song Siming, and as her father and Aunt Li introduced her, she said hello to everyone.
Although she couldn't see, her eyes seemed to understand everything.
After greeting several of her father's old friends, Bai Zhi discovered that the so-called family friends were not like ordinary people gathering together to chat about anything casually.
Everything they said seemed to have a purpose.
These people looked down on her and praised her beauty just because she was Song Siming's daughter.
But Bai Zhi understands that this is the way this society is, and even friendship must be based on interests.
The so-called family friendship is not just a friendship between generations of descendants, but a chain of interests passed down from generation to generation.
Grandpa to grandpa, dad to dad, kid to kid.
Is there no real friendship between them? This is not necessarily true, it is just that a simple friendship cannot sustain a family relationship.
Bai Zhi had never thought about plotting anything with the Song family, let alone getting any benefits from the Song family.
So she doesn't care about what others think.
Several families exchanged pleasantries and began to eat.
But Bai Zhi soon discovered a different person.
Song Licheng said before the family banquet that Mu Jianhua was a very good person.
When it was time to eat, Bai Zhi realized that Mu Jianhua couldn't be summed up in one word.
There was a large long table in the restaurant. Song Siming and Li Haiyan sat at the main seats. Bai Zhi sat down next to Li Haiyan. To her left was Mu Jianhua.
At first, it was Li Haiyan who attended to her meal, but after Mu Jianhua brought her a portion of steamed breast milk swallow with red dates, Li Haiyan handed over the task of picking up the food to Mu Jianhua.
"Xiao Zhi, Jianhua is a child who is very good at taking care of others. Auntie will temporarily leave the task of serving food to him."
Mu Jianhua happily accepted, "Don't worry, I guarantee that the mission will be a complete success."
"..."
Can she say no?
Li Haiyan deliberately pushed her towards Mu Jianhua.
Xiao Cheng, who was originally responsible for taking care of her, was also arranged to sit across from her and couldn't care about her at all.
Bai Zhi felt like she had been betrayed.
"Excuse me, Mr. Mu."
She smiled politely and continued with the food on her plate.
Bai Zhi ate very slowly, for fear of accidentally staining her skirt.
Mu Jianhua helped her put it on the plate. In order to prevent her from misunderstanding, he emphasized that he was using serving chopsticks.
There were some dishes that she couldn't even touch after working on them for a long time, and Mu Jianhua was still there to give her directions.
Angelica dahurica's already poor appetite was even more uncomfortable.
She raised her hand to get the water glass, and the water glass was accurately delivered to her hand from the left side, but did not touch her hand.
This man is a gentleman and understands propriety.
Bai Zhi held the water glass and paused slightly, "Thank you, Mr. Mu."
Song Licheng sat opposite Bai Zhi. In fact, at first he wanted to sit next to Bai Zhi so that he could take care of Bai Zhi more easily.
But his father forcefully pulled him and forced him to sit here.
Looking at Mu Jianhua's actions towards Bai Zhi again, Song Licheng couldn't help but frown.
It was agreed that I just wanted to introduce my sister's identity to some uncles, but why did it turn into a blind date in disguise?
Judging from the occasional flash of embarrassment between Bai Zhi's eyebrows, she probably doesn't know about this.
Hey, I really don’t understand, what do father and mother mean?
Song Siming calmly took Mu Jianhua's movements into his eyes, and when he saw him taking care of Bai Zhi, there was a little smile in his eyes.
Mu Chengxun knew what Song Siming meant. He saw his son taking care of Bai Zhi with all his heart, and deliberately joked: "Xiao Zhi, your father and I are good friends, so I just followed him to call you that. Don't open your mouth to call me My son, Mr. Mu, is too different. Just follow Xiao Cheng and call him Brother Mu."
Before Mu Chengxun finished speaking, others followed suit.
Mu Jianhua didn't answer, but Bai Zhi felt a gaze on her face from the left.
Bai Zhi was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Thank you, Brother Mu."
She had a polite smile on her face, and the corners of her mouth and eyes were raised just right. This was the expression she figured out for the audition.
Mu Jianhua found that Bai Zhi kept this expression on her face tonight.
This girl's smile is very beautiful, like an elf on earth.
Although she is here, her heart is flying away. It seems that if she is not careful, she will be pulled away from this world.
Mu Jianhua's mouth has an ambiguous smile.
He doesn't know if Bai Zhi understands the purpose of today's family dinner.
Before, Aunt Li told his mother that she wanted to introduce him to a girlfriend, but he was not interested.
But Aunt Li later called him and invited him to attend the family dinner tonight.
Since Aunt Li asked him, he couldn't refuse.
He didn't expect that the person Aunt Li wanted to introduce to him was the heroine who had a scandal with Lu Juefeng.
Mu Jianhua originally thought that Bai Zhi was just a vain woman, but after observing her, he found that Bai Zhi was different from what was reported in the media.
Song Siming's eyes swept over Mu Jianhua from time to time, and he noticed Mu Jianhua's attention to Bai Zhi.
He picked up the glass again and drank a glass with his old friend Mu Chengxun.
