Chapter 262: The Bai Family

Throwing the silk ball now?

No, isn't the second screening just beginning now?

Eliminating the vast majority of romantic talents, now there is only him under the arena, doesn't that mean there is no one competing with him at all?

Or to put it another way, is the Bai family young lady Bai Yu throwing the silk ball specifically for him alone? Did she take a fancy to him?

Lu Yunzhan's eyelids jumped wildly, and he stood in place with a somewhat stiff body. Everything on the field became abnormally slow. The strange and unwilling gazes cast by the eliminated talents around, as well as the gritted-teeth whispers, made him feel uncomfortable all over.

Especially the moment Bai Yu on the arena already held the silk ball with both hands and looked at Lu Yunzhan, he forced out a stiff smile.

Without any hesitation, Bai Yu threw the silk ball toward the stage.

The silk ball drew a beautiful arc in mid-air and landed right in Lu Yunzhan's arms. No, no, no! Just as the silk ball was about to fall into his arms, he suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped the incoming silk ball.

Pa! The silk ball fell to the ground and rolled toward the distance.

The silk ball wrapped in red silk was so dazzling on the ground. At this moment, the whole scene was silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

All the eliminated talents had their jaws dropped.

What's the situation?

Didn't see it wrong just now, right? That kid actually slapped the silk ball thrown by the Bai family young lady to the ground with his hand.

Is there something wrong with him, or is there something wrong with me?

The sturdy female guard on the arena was stunned for a while, then smiled with a fake smile and said, "Did this young master not catch it? It doesn't matter, just pick it up."

There was only Lu Yunzhan under the arena, but the young lady wanted to throw the silk ball at this time. How could the female guard not understand the reason? Wasn't it obvious that she had taken a fancy to the young master under the stage?

So when this strange thing happened, she immediately started to justify it.

Lu Yunzhan looked at his hands blankly. Just now, he was extremely tangled and panicked for a moment. Facing the thrown silk ball, he subconsciously slapped it back.

Now that he thought about it, he felt a bit guilty in his heart.

In full view of everyone, the Bai family young lady had clearly thrown the silk ball to him, yet he slapped it back. This was too embarrassing for the other party.

"I, I didn't mean it." Lu Fang hurriedly explained.

Bai Yu on the arena had been expressionless from beginning to end, but there was more interest in her eyes when she looked at Lu Yunzhan, as if his "refusal" just now had aroused her curiosity.

She had always been confident since she was a child, so after talking to Lu Yunzhan, she knew that he had some resistance to her and didn't want to settle down and start a career now.

But for some reason, she still decided to choose him.

In her view, there would be no man who would refuse her after seeing her once. After all, the recruitment of a son-in-law had caused such a big commotion. If a husband wasn't selected, I'm afraid it wouldn't be easy to end.

Rather than choosing someone else to be her husband, she felt that it was easier to accept having Lu Yunzhan, this man, be it.

"It doesn't matter. Young Master Lu's hand has already touched the silk ball, so that proves you are willing to be the Bai family's son-in-law." Bai Yu raised her eyebrows slightly and said.

Because the impact received was very great, Lu Yunzhan didn't even know how he left. By the time he came back to his senses, he was already surrounded and sitting in the Bai family's carriage, returning to a mansion.

Lu Yunzhan, sitting in the bedroom, frowned slightly. He wasn't thinking about the beautiful married life in the future, nor was he thinking about how to escape from here.

Instead, he was thinking about what the sentence Bai family young lady Bai Yu said to him when she left meant?

"Help me. Now I can only believe in you alone. Judging from your actions, you must not have been sent by that person."

This sentence kept hovering in Lu Yunzhan's heart, making him unable to figure it out.

Why would it be like this?

Is it a prank?

No, no, no!

Lu Yunzhan could see from Bai Yu's face that when she transmitted this sentence to him, the plea for help deep in her eyes flashed by, which was clearly captured by him.

For some reason, his intuition seemed to be very accurate.

And this time, his intuition told him that this only heir of the Bai family seemed to have encountered some huge trouble, so much so that even her father, Viscount Bai Feng, couldn't be told, or rather, couldn't be trusted, and she could only seek help by throwing the silk ball.

Just when Lu Yunzhan couldn't figure out some places, a servant knocked on the door outside and called softly, "Young Master Lu, there is a scholar named Ceng Wan outside the door, saying he is your friend."

"Ceng Wan? Please invite him in quickly."

Lu Yunzhan said hurriedly.

Fearing that he would run away, the Bai family guards didn't let him leave this mansion, but it seemed they didn't stop him from seeing some friends.

He only came to Beiya City yesterday and wasn't very familiar with everything here. If it weren't for Ceng Wan telling him about the Bai family young lady's recruitment earlier today, he wouldn't have known about this matter.

His limited understanding of the Bai family also came from Ceng Wan.

It looked like Ceng Wan was very familiar with the Bai family. Talking to this person at this time might be able to solve some of his doubts.

"Congratulations, congratulations, Brother Lu, it really is you." Ceng Wan shouted from far away to Lu Yunzhan standing at the door, "I saw you outside before and didn't dare to believe that you caught the Bai family young lady's silk ball."

"Brother Ceng, it's a long story." Lu Yunzhan smiled bitterly and welcomed the person in. After seeing the servant leave, he told the things that happened before, one by one.

However, he still concealed the plea for help that the Bai family young lady Bai Yu transmitted to him at the end.

When he didn't know the specific situation, he subconsciously felt that it was better to be cautious. If the news leaked, I'm afraid it would be unfavorable to the Bai family young lady.

It wasn't that he couldn't trust Ceng Wan, but he was afraid that walls have ears.

Ceng Wan grinned, reached out and patted Lu Yunzhan on the shoulder, and smiled, "Brother Lu, why do you look so unhappy? Being taken a fancy to by the Bai family young lady is your great luck."

"You don't know, there are countless talents outside who want to marry the Bai family young lady."

"Could it be that the Bai family young lady is not beautiful? Or do you have a marriage contract?"

Lu Yunzhan shook his head, not knowing how to express the entanglement in his heart, and sighed, "The Bai family young lady is indeed peerless in elegance, and I don't have a marriage contract. Maybe I'm just a bit flattered."

"By the way, Brother Ceng Wan, how much do you know about the Bai family in Beiya City? Can you tell me specifically?"

Ceng Wan pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "I know quite a lot about the Bai family. As long as it's someone in this area, they actually know something about the Bai family. After all, the Bai family is a famous and powerful family here."

"Viscount Bai Feng's ancestors were marquises, and they were also famous figures in Shangjing, especially in terms of connections, which existed all over the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"The current Bai family is indeed one of the top families in the Beiya City area, but compared to the previous glory, it is too dilapidated." ===== CHAPTER 263 =====
