Chapter 39

"Brother-in-law, how could you?!"

Bai Chengliang stood up all of a sudden.

How could one admit to such a thing?

It simply damages one's glorious image!

Yang Yu asked back: "What's wrong? Going to Fangfei Pavilion is going, what's there to hide?"

Bai Chengliang opened his eyes wide and said: "Brother-in-law, why can you be so calm and composed when you say such things."

Yang Yu said as a matter of course: "Is it wrong for a man to be lustful?"

"Uh... this... brother-in-law, I understand!"

Bai Chengliang was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and his heart suddenly opened up.

That's right, what's wrong with a man being lustful?

Why be embarrassed to admit it.

Could it be that hiding it would change the fact of being lustful?

Instead of being lustful secretly, it's better to admit it openly.

This way, there's no burden, and it's more open and honest!

This is the true gentleman!

"Ahem, besides, we went to Fangfei Building, but didn't really do anything, just listened to music to relax, and by the way, looked for a breakthrough opportunity." Yang Yu added.

"That's right, that's right, brother-in-law, it has to be you." Bai Chengliang praised.

Li Wei rolled her eyes and said: "Who cares where you went and what you did."

Bai Chengliang slapped his thigh and said domineeringly: "That's right, a mere maid, why should I explain to you?"

"I am Yang Yu's maid, but not yours." Li Wei scolded coldly, suddenly pinching Bai Chengliang's ear and pulling it up hard.

"Ah! Li Wei, don't, Sister Wei, I was wrong, I won't dare next time..."

A wail came from inside the carriage.

In a relaxed atmosphere, the three of them soon returned to the Bai Family.

Yang Yu went to Bai Zhi's courtyard first.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Bai Zhi looking slightly anxious, saying: "Yang Yu, why are you only back now? The family has prepared a welcome banquet for you, and they are just waiting for you."

"Ah? For me? A welcome banquet?"

Yang Yu was a bit surprised.

During his time in Ning City, he had roughly learned that the Bai Family was not satisfied with this marriage.

From the Family Head Bai Sheng down to the grassroots guards, most looked down on this son-in-law.

He didn't expect the Bai Family to take the initiative to hold a welcome banquet.

"Azhi, did you praise me to the clansmen?" Yang Yu asked.

"No, I just broke through to the sixth layer and have been cultivating." Bai Zhi said, "Anyway, the family welcoming you is definitely not a bad thing, let's go quickly, Mother, uncles, and clan elders have all gone."

"Okay."

Yang Yu nodded.

"This... isn't this Miss Li?"

Only then did Bai Zhi notice Li Wei.

"That's right. It's shameful to say, but because of some bet, I have to be Yang Yu's maid for a period of time..." Li Wei explained.

She had just experienced a life-and-death crisis with Yang Yu and Bai Chengliang, which could be considered a life-and-death friendship, so she didn't care much about the title of maid now.

"Uh..." Bai Zhi felt it was incredible.

This disciple of the Pavilion Master, who had a very proud personality, was actually willing to be Yang Yu's maid?

Sure enough, my fiancé is extraordinary.

The three of them chatted as they walked and soon arrived at the banquet hall.

The banquet hall was large, and dozens of people were already sitting inside.

Those who could attend this welcome banquet were all Bai Zhi's immediate family members or core clansmen of the Bai Family.

As soon as the three of them entered, everyone's eyes focused on him: "Is this Bai Zhi's fiancé? He is quite a talent."

Yang Yu didn't feel stage fright either, bowed neither humbly nor arrogantly, and said:

"Thank you for your care, and for arranging a welcome banquet for me, which makes me feel flattered. It's just that there were some things just now, and I came a bit late, I'm really sorry, I'll punish myself with three cups first."

After saying this, he poured three cups of wine in a row, full, and drank them in one gulp.

"Heh, his personality is quite bold."

In the hall, someone expressed appreciation.

Originally, they thought that this Yang Yu came from a small city, had low cultivation, and had never seen the world.

When such a person arrived at the Bai Family and attended a banquet of this scale, he would definitely be stage-frightened, inferior, and perform poorly.

Unexpectedly, this kid's words and actions were appropriate, and he actually had the aura of a child from a big family.

"Oh, alright, alright, no need to punish yourself." At this time, a middle-aged woman with an elegant temperament walked toward Yang Yu.

This middle-aged woman was Bai Sheng's wife, Bai Zhi's mother, Ning Wushuang.

While looking at Yang Yu, she said: "This welcome banquet wasn't notified to you in advance, so there's no such thing as being late."

"This is my mother." Bai Zhi said to Yang Yu.

"Nice to meet you, Auntie." Yang Yu said respectfully.

Before the official marriage, he still used the title of Auntie.

"Hey hey, good, this child is really good, come here and sit down quickly." Ning Wushuang said with a smile.

As a woman, a mother, she didn't care about family interests or matching social status, and never thought about using her daughter's marriage to gain anything.

She just hoped that her daughter could find a husband she liked and live a happy and peaceful life in the second half of her life.

At this time, seeing Yang Yu and Bai Zhi acting intimately, it was obviously mutual affection, and she was naturally extremely happy.

Yang Yu was about to take his seat.

But he was scolded by a cold voice: "You're just letting him sit?"

"Brother, what do you mean by this?"

Ning Wushuang looked at the middle-aged man who spoke.

It was Bai Sheng's elder brother, Bai Qiang.

Bai Qiang's talent and strength were not as good as Bai Sheng's, but he was the Family Head's own brother after all, occupying a spot as a clan elder.

In a big family, the Family Head indeed has the greatest say.

But on some important matters, he still has to seek the opinions of the clan elders.

Clan elders are elected by the clansmen, not based on age, but mainly on bloodline, strength, and prestige.

There are often multiple clan elders, and their status in the family is second only to the Family Head.

As soon as Bai Qiang spoke, some clansmen with keen eyes also followed:

"That's right, although the welcome banquet was held temporarily, since he wants to be the Bai Family's son-in-law, he should have arranged his time in advance."

"No matter what, he made us wait for so long."

"We juniors, waiting is waiting, but several elders in the family are also waiting for him."

"Too disrespectful to elders."

"Perhaps, he doesn't put the Bai Family in his eyes, so he thinks it doesn't matter?"

"Just punishing himself with three cups is too light..."

Hearing these discussions, Yang Yu understood immediately.

Sure enough, the Bai Family wouldn't easily accept him.

Auntie should be sincerely blessing this marriage, but she couldn't represent the entire Bai Family.

Such a big family, with complex interest relationships, definitely wouldn't lack opposition.

This banquet, on the surface a welcome banquet, was probably a trap...

"Not putting the Bai Family in his eyes? You've put a big hat on him!" Ning Wushuang said dissatisfiedly.

Yang Yu was calm and composed, saying: "May I ask who this is?"

"He is my uncle, Bai Qiang, a clan elder in the family." Bai Zhi whispered.

"Then, Uncle said all this, what do you want?"

Yang Yu still gave the other party face for the time being and called him Uncle.

"As a junior, making the whole family wait for you, disrespectful to elders, you should be punished by family law." Bai Qiang said sternly.

"Uncle, there's a reason for my brother-in-law's lateness!" Bai Chengliang said repeatedly.

"Oh? Then tell me the reason, if it's reasonable, the punishment can naturally be waived." Bai Qiang said indifferently.
