Chapter 769 The Root of Expressing Goodwill
If the support of the Bai family, the Yu family, and even the eldest daughter of the old man for Shi Lei on the day of Bai Lao’s birthday was also due to the late Old Master Song, then today, Shi Lei was just moving, and the Bai family and the Yu family made the clearest statement.
On Bai Lao’s birthday, it was like sending charcoal in the snow.
And today, Shi Lei’s moving is icing on the cake.
Although icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, both are there, and the meaning is self-evident.
Yu Banzhi and Bai Lingjing did as they said, put down the gifts and said goodbye.
Shi Lei certainly sent him to the end, sent him to the car, and followed the car all the way to send him out of the gate of Jiudachu.
Shi Lei was deeply moved by the love of Yu Banzhi and Bai Lao.
Chen Yannu stayed for a while because she was Shi Lei’s godmother.
But she didn’t stay too long.
After Shi Lei sent the people back, Chen Yannv took Shi Lei's mother Gao Yan's hand, and the four of them went to the study together.
In the study, Chen Yannv expressed her apologies. She should have informed Shi Zhongping and Gao Yan before taking Shi Lei as her adopted son, and obtained their consent before proceeding.
Shi Zhongping and Gao Yan certainly had no objection to this, and kept saying that it was okay, and said that it was Shi Lei's blessing that Chen Yannv could take Shi Lei as his adopted son.
Chen Yannv saw that her meaning had been expressed, and invited Shi Zhongping and Gao Yan to visit her home when they were free, and then left.
Shi Zhongping and Gao Yan of course had to drag Shi Lei and carefully inquire about the background of the three people just now.
They just saw that the second generation present respected the three people very much, and Shi Lei's introduction only said that they represented the top family in Wudong, but the couple still didn't know the specific situation.
Shi Lei had to explain it in detail, and Shi Zhongping and Gao Yan gasped after hearing it.
In fact, they already knew that Shi Lei had made friends with many powerful people in their contacts with him, but they never thought that this powerful person could be so powerful.
They had been a wealthy family since before the liberation, and it had lasted for at least a hundred years. The continuation of this family alone was unimaginable. Moreover, Shi Lei also said that even many central leaders were guests of the Bai family, which made Shi Zhongping and Gao Yan even more terrified.
And the Yu family was the best in the army, needless to say. The word "general" was as high as the sky for ordinary people like Shi Zhongping and Gao Yan.
"Son, what have you done in the past year? These are all real big shots." Gao Yan held Shi Lei's hand, and her mood was difficult to calm down for a long time.
Shi Lei scratched his head and had no way to explain. He was thinking in his heart that he had not told his parents that he could enter and leave the old man's house at will when he came to the imperial capital. If he told Shi Zhongping and Gao Yan about this, they would be scared to the point that they couldn't even speak.
After learning that their sons were close to the two top families in Wudong, Shi Zhongping and Gao Yan behaved more freely in front of Wei Qing and others. After all, having seen the magnificence of Mount Tai, the other four mountains were not so high.
In addition, Wei Qing and others were indeed polite to the two elders, so the two elders couldn't help but drink a few more cups, and also kept the young people to get together more, but around nine o'clock, the two elders went upstairs to rest.
Shi Qiang finally came over, and brought Zhang Xiyue with him. Although Zhang Xiyue did not belong to this circle, since she was Shi Qiang's official girlfriend and he hadn't seen her for a long time, everyone could understand Shi Qiang's behavior.
Two bottles of Romanee-Conti were certainly not enough for so many people. Yao Er sent more than half of the six boxes of wine, and it was not until nearly two o'clock in the night that everyone was satisfied.
Looking at the living room that finally quieted down, Wei Qing and others were sitting in different places with seven or eight points of drunkenness, chatting in a low voice, and Shi Lei couldn't help but feel unreal.
I have never sorted out all of this before, or I have never sorted it out seriously.
Today, due to the appearance of Shi Zhongping and Gao Yan, Shi Lei finally realized that the wealth he now possesses is actually not comparable to anyone present, but in terms of resources, Shi Lei may be the richest one among this group of people.
Unknowingly, Shi Lei only took less than a year to stand at the same height as these people present, and even, in some aspects, he is a little higher than these people.
At least, today, he is the absolute core of this group of second-generation people.
According to Shi Lei's original life trajectory, women like Wei Xingyue and Song Miaomiao are women that Shi Lei cannot touch in his entire life. But now, both of them are Shi Lei's women, and they can live in peace, which is simply the eighth miracle of the world.
There is another message on the mobile phone, which Shi Lei did not tell anyone. This message was sent by the eldest daughter of the old man, with four simple words-congratulations on moving to a new house.
This represents the greetings of the old man.
These families standing at the top of the human race are actually expressing their full goodwill to Shi Lei. Shi Lei, who has experienced it bit by bit, thinks that this is a natural outcome most of the time.
However, with the contrast between Shi Zhongping and Gao Yan, Shi Lei realized that the so-called natural outcome is not so natural.
The Yu family is a little easier to say.
The initial affinity with Yu Banzhi was obviously due to the macro influence of the black card, but then the Yu family attacked the Wei family, and then Yu Banzhi was imprisoned, and Shi Lei rescued him, which led to the current attitude of the Yu family towards him.
This can be roughly explained.
What about the Bai family?
The reason was so weak that it was hard for anyone to believe.
After thinking it over, Shi Lei thought that only Chen Ya Nu loved him. She was unmarried and childless, so she probably really loved Shi Lei as if he were her own child.
But Chen Ya Nu's love alone could never affect the attitude of the entire Bai family towards him.
If it was just Chen Ya Nu who came uninvited tonight, it would be normal, but the appearance of Bai Prism undoubtedly represented the will of Bai Lao.
…
The old man made Shi Lei feel even more confused.
It was true that Shi Lei saved the old man's son, but what the old man did for Shi Lei afterwards, or the reward he gave to Shi Lei, could have been evened out long ago. But whether it was on Bai Lao's birthday or the text message from his eldest daughter today, it showed that the old man did not owe Shi Lei nothing as he said.
Why is this?
Zhang Xiyue's cheeks were flushed, and she walked over with a slightly shaky step, holding a wine glass in her hand.
"Master Shi, I'll toast you a glass. I'm sorry that Titan told me too late and I couldn't pick a gift for you."
Shi Lei smiled and drank the glass of wine with Zhang Xiyue.
"It's enough that people are here. The gift is not important."
Zhang Xiyue nodded, and suddenly lowered her voice and said quickly: "Master Shi, find a chance to chat alone later?"
Shi Lei was slightly stunned, and soon understood what Zhang Xiyue meant. There is no doubt that Zhang Xiyue did not drink too much, at least not as drunk as she showed.
She came here today, not only with Shi Qiang, but also with a mission.
Zhang Xiyue's mission, without a doubt, can only be that Dark Night Eyes has something to ask Shi Lei for help again.
Shi Lei nodded silently, and Zhang Xiyue walked back to Shi Qiang with a shaky step, leaning her head on Shi Qiang's shoulder, very intimate.
Suddenly, his heart moved slightly, and Shi Lei seemed to realize a reason why the old man and Bai Lao expressed enough goodwill to him.
Maybe not all, but Dark Night Eyes must be one of the reasons.
But, did Bai Lao also know about the existence of the Dark Night Eye? ——This was something Shi Lei had not expected.
