Chapter 426
PS: Some people say that the recent plot is very light, and I am reflecting on it, so there are only two updates.
After hearing Ajie's explanation, the silver-haired old man pondered for a while and instructed: "You go out and call Ah Xiong, and bring that suitcase, too."
"Yes, yes, yes..." Ajie nodded in a hurry and walked out quickly.
At this time, the others finally understood what was going on, but they were smarter and knew that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
If a small driver had no special reliance, would he dare to cheat the guests invited by the Bai family? For a moment, many people's eyes flashed, but they were also wisely silent and sat down to see the development of the situation.
In contrast, the girl had no scruples, looked like she suddenly realized her mind, and then said with a smile: "Grandpa, the Feng Shui master recommended by Grandpa Fang to you doesn't seem to have any skills, so she was plotted."
"Don't talk nonsense." The old man with silver hair rebuked: "Whoever has the intention to make up or not will be caught."
"Master Zhang won't do it." The girl smiled and said, "Is it right,Master Zhang?"
At this time, Zhang Daoyi was also sitting there, hearing the sound, just smiled reservedly, and did not express his opinion. After all, I have never experienced such a thing personally, and no one can guarantee that he would not be fooled. Besides, I heard that his colleagues were treated like this, Zhang Daoyi was not gloating.
Not long after, under Ajie's escort, another young man with a kind-hearted appearance, together with a suitcase, appeared in front of everyone. At this time, the honest young man was a little nervous and anxious, his feet were trembling, and he was very frightened.
"Ah Xiong, tell me, why do you do this?" asked the silver-haired old man. His voice was calm and he was powerful without anger.
"I, I..." Ah Xiong's teeth began to tremble.
"Grandpa, don't ask him anymore. I asked him to do this. I spoke, and he dared not ignore him."
At this moment, a handsome young man slowly walked down from the second floor of the living room. He was wearing a white shirt and pants, half-inserting his left hand in his pants pocket, and lightly escorting the railings of the stairs with his right hand, step by step. His movements were very chic.
Seeing this, the girl couldn't help but mutter: "I'm doing it again."
Someone took the initiative to stand up and admit that he was the mastermind behind the scenes, and everyone was not surprised. Just as Junyi Young Man said, he spoke, Ah Xiong was just a small driver. How dare he refuse?
In addition, considering the handsome young man's attitude towards Feng Shui, others were even more relieved, thinking that no one in the Bai family had such a motive, or had such courage, and even dared to make his own decisions without hiding the silver-haired old man.
At the same time, before the silver-haired old man was questioned, the handsome young man complained: "Grandpa, I have told you many times that Feng Shui is superstitious, dregs, and absurd statement. Why don't you believe it?"
While speaking, the handsome young man glanced at Zhang Daoyi and hummed, "Anyway, with me here, I will never let those scammers succeed. Grandpa, you have to believe in science. Let's listen to me and set up a special research room. As long as you study it carefully for a period of time, you will definitely be able to find out the reason..."
"Tianming, you are still young. You have been studying in Europe for many years. It is normal for us to not believe in Feng Shui, and we can understand it." The old man with silver hair shook his head and said, "But some things don't exist if you don't believe in them."
"That's it." The girl nodded repeatedly and said, "Cousin, you have been brainwashed by Western culture and have long forgotten China's tolerance spirit of embracing all rivers. Whether it is science or Feng Shui, as long as the problem can be solved smoothly, it is worthy of respect."
"If Feng Shui is really good and useful, the country will not suppress it vigorously back then." The handsome young man sneered: "If Feng Shui can be successful, then why should everyone study hard and work hard? Let's just pray to gods and Buddhas all day long."
"We have never said that Feng Shui can accomplish things." Zhang Daoyi said: "Planning things depends on people, and success is in heaven. Feng Shui is just an auxiliary, which can increase people's chances of winning."
"What is the result of heaven?" the handsome young man retorted: "I only believe that man will conquer heaven."
Zhang Daoyi couldn't help but shake his head: "The Tao is different, I don't plan for each other. Maybe I shouldn't come this time."
"No one asked you to come at first. You have your own feet, why don't you go back by yourself?" said the young man in charge.
"Tianming, stop." The silver-haired old man looked dark and said in a stern manner: "Hurry up and apologize to Master Zhang."
"Hmph." The handsome young man didn't move at all, and was not afraid of the old man with silver hair.
Zhang Daoyi looked normal and said calmly: "Mr. Bai, I apologize to me for a small apology. Please consider how to give that Feng Shui master a reasonable explanation."
"Explanation, what's the explanation?" said the young man in his youth dismissively: "I heard from Ah Xiong that the man was very young, and he was in his twenties, so he must be a liar."
"After 20 years old?" The others were stunned. In their expectation, the Feng Shui master recommended by the landlord Sheng was not a master in his seventies or eighties, but should also be a middle-aged man like Zhang Daoyi. How could he be in his twenties?
"Now you should understand why I asked Ah Xiong to throw people into the wilderness." The young man hummed: "He has hands and feet, strong body, and he is not good at finding any job, but he is a liar and deserves to suffer some torture."
"Cousin, you're too much." The girl shook her head and said, "No matter how old they are, they are all guests we invited. You actually tormented him like this. No wonder Grandpa Fang was so angry."
The handsome young man glanced at the corner of his mouth. If the landlord Sheng was not a friend of the old man with silver hair, he would definitely scold him for being confused. Just forget that you were cheated by yourself, why bother to implicate the Bai family?
At this time, the old man with silver hair also reacted and said solemnly: "Tianming, come with me and apologize to others later. Remember to be sincere and ask your grandpa Fang for forgiveness."
It can be seen that the old man with silver hair still tends to be handsome young man in his heart, but he only asks him to ask the landlord for forgiveness. In his subconscious, he also attributes Fang Yuan to an insignificant passerby.
"No, I did nothing wrong, why should I apologize?" said the handsome young man stubbornly: "Grandpa, you often tell us that you should have backbone in life. As long as you are upright and have a clear conscience, no one should be afraid!"
"You are calculating people behind your back and calling you a righteous man?" the girl muttered. The voice was quite small, and everyone could hear it clearly, but they pretended not to hear it.
To be honest, the few people next to them are all the sons of the old man with silver hair. But they are also quite self-aware and know that their weight in the old man with silver hair is probably not as good as that of the handsome young man and the girl.
One is the most beloved grandson and the other is the most beloved granddaughter. The two are competing for favor. It is best for them to stay out of trouble, so as not to get out of the war and make them cry when they burn on them.
Once the dispute escalates, the old man in silver might just train them to change the topic. The veritable fire in the city gate will affect the fish. This is an experience and we have to guard against it.
So at this moment, several people became mute, either lowered their heads to drink tea or looked up at the famous paintings on the wall. Anyway, they just stood by and refused to interfere.
However, when people sit at home, disaster comes from heaven. Some things cannot be avoided just by trying to avoid them. Seeing that the handsome young man refused to compromise, the silver-haired old man turned his eyes and looked at his sons: "It's time to test you. If you are the one who decides, what should you do?"
"Oh, it's a blessing, it's not a disaster, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." Several people lamented in their hearts.
In fact, there is nothing to say about this. It is obvious that the handsome young man was wrong, but he did not admit his mistake. The old man with silver hair pampered his grandson and couldn't bear to force him. Now he asked them what to do, but he just wanted to go down the stage.
At this moment, several people looked at each other, and then their eyes fell on the middle-aged man sitting at the end.
"Oh, I know, who said I am the youngest?" The middle-aged man sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, I did this. I planned to joke with the master, but I didn't expect it to cause such a big trouble to him. I will apologize and apologize in person..."
"Uncle Fourth is so pitiful, he always takes the blame." The girl said with a tweet, "Is this really good?"
"Xin'er, if the Bai family does something wrong, someone always has to stand up and take responsibility." The old man with silver hair looked a little approving: "Your fourth uncle is not taking the blame, but is brave enough to take responsibility, and he has made more progress than before."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up and felt that he was finally in vain.
The handsome young man moved his lips but didn't say anything. After all, he was not stupid, so he naturally knew that he had caused trouble and wanted to give the landlord an explanation. Now that someone is willing to take the blame, he will definitely not refuse.
"Okay, let's do it like this." The old man with silver hair nodded with satisfaction, then stood up and said, "Let's go, go apologize."
"Wait." Suddenly, the girl's slender white little hand pointed: "Grandpa, look, the lock of the suitcase has been pried open. I wonder if there are fewer things inside?"
"Hmm?" The old man with silver hair looked down and his face darkened again, and his eyes stabbed Ah Xiong like a knife: "Have you turned over someone else's stuff?"
"Old Bai, how dare I?" Ah Xiong was under great pressure, his legs were weak, and he almost knelt down, and said in a trembling voice: "No, no, no...it's me, yes..."
Although Ah Xiong didn't say who it was, everyone guessed it and looked directly at the handsome young man.
"It's me." The young man in the gentleman also said frankly: "I thought that a liar might have scammers in his box, so I opened it and took a look."
"Then have you found the props?" the girl asked curiously.
"...I found it, and I've studied it for a night. But I'm not a liar after all, and I don't know the mystery." The young man snorted: "Just give me a few days, I promise to be able to crack the secrets."
"In other words, you stole someone's things?" The girl frowned: "Shame, shameless."
"What stealing, I'll just study it. If I'm greedy, I won't say it..." The young man in the youth tried his best to defend himself, then he quickly went up the second floor and took the thing down.
"This is..." Everyone looked at it quickly, somewhat surprised.
