Chapter 68

It was almost noon when Huo Jue came with a group of young men with bright eyes to pick people up.

Anzi closed his eyes and silently clenched his toes.

Many familiar families had already arrived at the front hall of the Huo family mansion. Jiang Lu stood among a group of children who were only a few years older than her. She seemed to be listening to them talking, but her attention was actually on the door.

The Bai family was late, and she couldn't remember when they came in her previous life, but she couldn't wait to meet Bai Congxin.

At this time, Miss Jing, who had been speaking just now, suddenly sat up from her chair and said, "My brother is coming out!"

A few children looked in the direction she said, and sure enough, they saw a group of young men coming out of the inner courtyard, led by Master Huo Qi.

He was wearing a dark blue long coat today, with a noble smile on his face, and holding a little girl of four or five years old in his arms.

The brother that Miss Jing was talking about happened to be the round-faced boy.

A few kids came forward to say hello, and at a glance they saw Anzi being held by Huo Jue.

It was simple. She, a little girl, was too conspicuous among these teenagers, not to mention that she was being held in the arms of Mr. Huo Qi himself.

"Brother, who is she?" Miss Jing pulled the heartless Master Jing. The child was not good at hiding her emotions, and others could easily see the displeasure towards Anzi on her face.

Master Jing didn’t notice anything wrong with his sister. “She came from Hong Kong…” He tried to find a suitable adjective, but couldn’t think of one no matter how hard he racked his brains, so he simply let it go.

When Jiang Lu heard that he was from Hong Kong, she withdrew her attention from the door and looked over curiously, and happened to meet the other person's eyes.

And Anzi discovered that there was a little girl who was about the same age as her but had a very strange luck. Logically, she was covered in golden light and should at least be a person with great luck, but there were two black lines entangled in the golden light, which kept rolling and swallowing the golden energy around her.

Anzi didn't know what the black line was, so he tried to use his third eye to see, and suddenly some extremely strange and terrifying scenes appeared in front of him.

Countless huge holes appeared in the sky and on the ground, and all kinds of ferocious and weird-looking beasts emerged from the abyss...

"Master? Master?" Zhang Zhaonian waved his hand in front of Anzi.

Anzai: …

Why is it this guy again!

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly!" Anzi was so angry that he was about to die. He just saw the crucial part!
Zhang Zhaonian rubbed his hands and smiled, "Master, do you have money? It's called playing mahjong over there..."

Anzi realized more deeply that this eldest disciple was unreliable. Well... maybe none of the other five were reliable either.

"No, no, get out of the way!"

Zhang Zhaonian said "Oh" pitifully and retreated back to Lu Jun.

When Anzi looked over again, the little girl was gone!

Anzi:!!!
Anzai: Zhang, Zhao, Nian!!!

When Jiang Lu saw the Bai family come in, she hurriedly pulled Miss Jing over.

The reason why we brought Miss Jing along was because the Jing family and the Bai family were cousins, and it wouldn't be out of place if she went along.

Bai Congxin was the same as she remembered. The seven-year-old Bai Congxin did not have the murderous aura that he later had. He was wearing a black suit and a red bow tie around his neck, looking like a little gentleman.

When Miss Jing saw Bai Congxin, she greeted him in stuttering English.

Bai Congxin nodded modestly. The young boy stood up straight and said in a slightly stiff Chinese, "Hello, cousin." Miss Jing's eyes lit up, "Cousin, can you speak Chinese now?"

Bai Congxin looked at her and tried to understand her words, but unfortunately, he still couldn't understand.

Just then, a soft voice sounded next to me, and it was actually English.

"She's asking you if you can speak Chinese now?"

Bai Congxin discovered that the person helping him translate was actually the little girl next to Miss Jing, and he shifted his gaze in surprise.

"You can speak English?" Bai Congxin was very surprised. After he returned to China, except for his father who could communicate with him in English, he could not communicate with anyone else in English.

When he first met someone with whom he could communicate smoothly, he couldn't help but show a bit of joy on his face. After all, he was just a seven-year-old kid.

Jiang Lu smiled shyly. In her previous life, she had worked hard to improve her English for Bai Congxin, so she had no problem chatting with foreigners.

"Yes, my English is OK." Jiang Lu raised her hand to stroke the hair by her ears and lowered her eyes slightly.

Bai Congxin was very happy. He finally met someone who could talk to him! He was almost suffocating these days!
"I'm so happy! My name is Bai Congxin, my English name is Corris, what's your name? Do you have an English name?"

Jiang Lu: "My name is Jiang Lu, and my English name is..." She rolled her eyes, "My English name is Anna."

Seeing that they were chatting in English, Miss Jing, who had always been favored at home, became unhappy.

She walked straight between the two of them, looking down at Jiang Lu, and said in a bad tone, "What the hell are you talking about in that bird language?"

Because she was facing away from Bai Congxin, Bai Congxin could not see her expression, but Jiang Lu, who was facing her, could see all her malice.

Jiang Lu took a step forward and lowered her voice, "Brother Congxin told me...you are a shameless ugly bastard..."

After she finished speaking, she quickly stepped back, followed the hand that Miss Jing extended to her, and sat down on the ground. To the people around her, it looked like Miss Jing suddenly got angry and pushed her down.

Miss Jing was furious and raised her hand to hit her again. Bai Congxin quickly stepped forward to block Jiang Lu, and her slap landed solidly on Bai Congxin's face.

There was an uproar all around.

The young lady of the Jing family was so rude. How could she hit someone at someone else's coming-of-age ceremony, and the person she hit was her own cousin?

Several ladies who had conflicts with the young lady of the Jing family immediately began to sing the same tune.

Seven years old is already old enough to know things, otherwise there would not be "boys and girls at the age of seven sitting at different tables" in ancient times. Miss Jing naturally understood the weirdness of those women. She knew these people and they always had a problem with her mother.

Miss Jing, who always had a bad temper, couldn't stand it anymore. She imitated her mother, crossed her arms, raised her chin, and repeated how her mother usually scolded these people at home, no matter how ugly it was.

This is too much. The younger generation in the other family is not a pushover either. It is not easy for adults to interfere, but of course there is no problem with the children.

As soon as the younger generation of the other family came out, the younger generation of the Jing family had no choice but to follow suit.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, it was no longer just a matter of children fighting each other, but also a matter of the reputation of several families.

Jiang Lu was protected by Bai Congxin and was pushed aside early so she was not affected.

She held Bai Congxin's hand, her face full of lingering fear, and looked at Miss Jing, who was at the center of the farce, with a hint of sarcasm in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

In the previous life, the daughter-in-law that the Bai family valued was actually Miss Jing.

 I'm late
