Chapter 40
Although Bai Qiang's tone was indifferent, it had a kind of aggressive momentum.
He had gathered a large group of clansmen to form an "opposition" to destroy the marriage between Yang Yu and Bai Zhi.
Therefore, he took the initiative to hold this banquet, intending to put pressure on Yang Yu at the banquet and force him to leave Bai Zhi.
In fact, for the sake of family interests, most of the clansmen present were opposition.
After all, even the Family Head was not satisfied with this marriage.
Of course, there were a small number of clansmen who supported it, such as Ning Wushuang.
But this small number of people couldn't affect the overall situation at all.
Roughly speaking, it was equivalent to the entire Bai Family opposing the marriage.
This also made the opposition very confident...
Today's banquet, using both soft and hard tactics, was determined to break off this marriage!
"Uncle wants to hear the reason? Fine, fine, fine, I took my brother-in-law to buy a gift, which took quite a bit of time." Bai Chengliang said loudly, "My brother-in-law didn't want to come empty-handed on his first visit, which shows he knows etiquette!"
But Bai Qiang showed disdain and said: "What kind of gift takes so long to buy?"
Bai Chengliang said: "We went to the third and fourth floors of the Baibao Pavilion, which required careful selection, so naturally it took a long time."
"Hahahaha!"
Bai Qiang laughed: "Baibao Pavilion? And the third and fourth floors! Everyone knows his background; is he qualified to go to the third and fourth floors?"
Other opposition clansmen also followed with laughter, saying:
"That's right, if he went to the first or second floor, someone might believe it."
"The starting price for things on the third floor is one hundred thousand. That small Yang Family is just a remote, bottom-tier family; how much money do they have in total?"
"However, just going to the third floor to look is still possible."
"Haha, looking without buying also counts as going."
"Even if he could go to the third floor, entering the fourth floor requires capital verification; he's not qualified at all."
Ning Wushuang's face was a bit ugly, and she said: "That's enough!"
"Heh."
Bai Qiang rolled his eyes and didn't put Ning Wushuang in his eyes at all.
This woman was the Family Head's wife, but she didn't have any real power in the family.
Even if she wanted to protect Yang Yu, it was meaningless.
"The child thinking of preparing a gift is having a heart. No matter what the gift is, Uncle and Aunt will be very happy."
Ning Wushuang pulled Yang Yu and said.
She said this with the intention of helping Yang Yu out of the siege.
Unexpectedly, an exquisite gift box suddenly appeared in Yang Yu's hand.
The thing seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
Everyone opened their eyes wide, feeling a bit incredible:
"Space treasure? He actually has a space treasure!"
"No, this gift box... it really is the style of the Baibao Pavilion."
"It looks like the workmanship of the Baibao Pavilion, but I don't seem to have seen it?"
"With different price points, the gift boxes given by the Baibao Pavilion are also different. The exquisiteness of this gift box is very high, and there are even gold thread carvings..."
"Is it really goods from the fourth floor?"
Ning Wushuang was also full of surprise and said: "Yang Yu, this is?"
Yang Yu said: "Auntie, this is a gift prepared for you."
"Ah? Is this too valuable?" Ning Wushuang hesitated.
Although she hadn't opened it yet, she knew goods.
The specification of this packaging was exclusive to the fourth floor of the Baibao Pavilion.
"Mother, just accept it." Bai Chengliang said with a smile, "Brother-in-law's heart."
"Alright then." Ning Wushuang then accepted the gift box.
Most of the opposition clansmen just now quietly closed their mouths.
With this level of meeting gift, how could they pick faults?
At this time, a tall and thin young man stood up and sneered:
"Don't be fooled by everyone, just because the gift box looks good, what does that prove? High-end gift boxes from the Baibao Pavilion are sometimes resold. In my opinion, this Yang Yu must have bought just the gift box for face, but the things inside are not valuable at all!"
Bai Qiang showed approval toward the young man.
This was his youngest son, Bai Junjie, whose words and actions always suited his wishes.
As soon as these words came out, the opposition spoke again:
"Right, right, right."
"I said so, he couldn't have so much money."
"Buying just the gift box, that makes a lot of sense."
"Why don't you just open it and see, Madam?"
Ning Wushuang's face didn't look very good.
She hadn't thought in this direction at all, but everyone was so aggressive that she was a bit afraid to open it.
What if the things here were really not valuable, wouldn't that make Yang Yu lose face?
However, before she could open it, Bai Chengliang helped her open the gift box first, and said to those gossiping clansmen:
"Open your eyes and see, what is this?"
Ning Wushuang looked down and exclaimed: "Silver Moon Heavenly Heart Pendant?"
She had been to the Baibao Pavilion many times and had an impression of many treasures inside.
This Silver Moon Heavenly Heart Pendant had defensive effects, and the key was that the design was exquisite and very beautiful, especially suitable for women to wear.
It was only because the premium was too high that she hadn't made a move.
She didn't expect it to be bought by Yang Yu.
"This..."
"How is that possible?"
"I've also seen this pendant, the marked price was 1.6 million."
"Where did the Yang Family get so much money?"
The scene was full of sighs.
Ning Wushuang looked at Yang Yu and said:
"You child, why buy such a valuable gift, you will need resources for your own cultivation in the future."
Yang Yu smiled and said:
"It's okay, there will be resources in the future. By the way, is Uncle not here? I also prepared a gift for him."
After arriving at the banquet hall, he scanned around and hadn't seen Bai Sheng yet.
"He hasn't arrived yet, it's estimated that he was delayed on the way." Ning Wushuang said.
Yang Yu thought:
Delayed? He took a stroll to Fangfei Pavilion, so he must have been delayed...
Since he hasn't returned yet, perhaps the man in black who saved me was really him?
"Have you all seen it? The gift Yang Yu prepared for me." Ning Wushuang took out the Silver Moon Heavenly Heart Pendant and said with a bit of pride, "He went to the Baibao Pavilion to pick such a valuable gift, who else has anything to say?"
Everyone was speechless.
That's right, he sent over 1 million on his first meeting to his future mother-in-law. No matter how much they picked faults, they couldn't find any problems.
"Wait! Just because he says so, it's true? In my opinion, this might be a fake! No matter how you think about it, with his background and financial resources, it's impossible to buy such a treasure!"
Bai Junjie questioned again.
Yang Yu's eyebrows raised.
"Why, what kind of look is that? Want to fight me?" Bai Junjie said aggressively.
Yang Yu chuckled and said: "Why not."
"Nonsense!" At this time, Li Wei stepped forward and said angrily, "Bai Junjie, what did you just say, do you dare to say it again?"
When Yang Yu and his group arrived just now, everyone was busy paying attention to Yang Yu and didn't notice Li Wei.
And Li Wei had always stood behind Yang Yu, just like an ordinary maid, with a very weak presence.
Now that she stood to the front, someone recognized her immediately:
"Hmm? This is..."
"A bit familiar."
"Isn't she Li Wei?"
"Li Wei? That disciple of Pavilion Master Lu?"
