Chapter 611: Meet The Parents
“It’s Madam Bai and…” A maid coincidentally ‘passed by’ Fang Xinxin’s side. She spoke a little and rushed forward to bow to the pair.
Fang Xinxin was holding onto a teacup. Her hand paused in mid-air for a moment.
The elderly man in his sixties was the old Bai family’s mansion’s butler, Bai Mingde. The woman was Bai Jingrou’s adopted mother, Huang Zhishu.
As expected, the past events were repeating and they were attempting to mislead her.
Bai Jingrou must have arranged for this maid to appear. Otherwise, there was no reason for someone to appear by her side and to only finish half of her sentence. Unfortunately, she had failed to see through this in her previous life.
Bai Jingrou spoke up with some urgency, “We mustn’t disrespect the elders. Let’s go and bow to them.”
Fang Xinxin’s eyelids twitched a little. She sat without moving and noted internally that this was her second attempt to mislead her.
“Miss Fang, we cannot disrespect our elders.” Bai Jingrou spoke louder with ‘good intentions’. “My cousin, Bai Qinghao, respects Madam Bai very much. This is the same for Bai… Aiyo, in any case, we cannot pretend not to see them.”
In their previous life, Fang Xinxin had naturally assumed that Bai Jingrou meant to address the second person as Grandfather Bai.
The pitiful her had mistaken Bai Jingrou’s adopted mother to be Bai Qinghao’s mother, and the elderly man to be Bai Qinghao’s grandfather.
In a miserable sight, she had greeted Butler Bai Mingde. “Grandfather, I’m your future daughter-in-law. Look, do you think you’re satisfied with me?”
“And you, you’re Bai Qinghao’s mom, aren’t you? Don’t even think that I will address you as ‘Mom’.”
All the maids by the side had laughed at her. It was only after she turned around that she noticed Bai Qinghao supporting the actual Elder Bai a short distance away. Furthermore, his actual parents were by his side as well.
At the thought of the humiliation from back then, Fang Xinxin resisted the urge to smash her head against a rock.
Bai Jingrou saw that Fang Xinxin was still sitting. She looked back and saw that Bai Qinghao, Elder Bai and his parents were approaching. She rushed to tug on Fang Xinxin. “Quick, let’s go greet them!”
Fang Xinxin tugged her hand back and remained seated. “Greet who?”
“Our seniors, of course.” Bai Jingrou spoke as though this was the way it was supposed to be. “As juniors, we cannot neglect our elders.”
She attempted to mislead her persistently.
Fang Xinxin continued to sip her tea as she responded indifferently. “You can go ahead.”
“You…” A hint of viciousness flashed past Bai Jingrou’s gaze. Why wasn’t this woman falling for her scheme?
Logically speaking, considering Fang Xinxin’s good relationship with Bai Qinghao, she was supposed to be enthusiastic about pleasing the Bai family’s elders.
By now, Bai Qinghao had approached her along with Grandfather Bai.
Fang Xinxin finally stood up. She bowed slightly towards the Bai family’s elder, Bai Chongshan, and smiled to greet him. “Nice to meet you, Grandfather Bai.”
Bai Chongshan was dressed in Zhongshan attire. His hair was combed backwards and his white moustache was long. His hair had also turned completely grey. Although his gaze was heavy from his years of experience, he appeared spirited and his eyes were sharp. It was obvious that he had been a legendary figure in his youth.
“You must be Fang Xinxin.” Bai Chongshan’s tone was certain. He sized Fang Xinxin with his sharp gaze. He noticed that she was dressed appropriately and her appearance was outstanding. She moved gracefully like a noble.
Her appearance and the way she carried herself made her compatible for her grandson. Her family background was the only aspect that was slightly lacking.
Bai Qinghao’s parents, Bai Hong and Ye Yunzhi, stood behind Bai Chongshan. His father appeared strict and intimidating, while his mother appeared dignified and elegant. With one glance, it was clear that they were outstanding individuals.
The two of them carefully sized Fang Xinxin up. They were surprised by her appearance but politely made sure that their gaze did not linger.
