Pathological training system! Sister, please respect yourself
Chapter 239 The calm before the storm (7)
At four o'clock in the morning, Ning Yuechen was awakened by the sound of the person next to her getting up. She squinted her eyes and observed Bai Yi's every move, and closed her eyes and pretended to sleep when the other party looked at her.
After about ten minutes, the neatly tidied man approached quietly, kissed her on the cheek, and then turned and left.
The bedroom door was closed. After a few minutes, Ning Yuechen opened his eyes, stood up and walked to the window. He looked at the row of low-key and luxurious black private cars parked outside the old house, with an almost wooden cold light in his eyes.
After a while, a group of people dressed in simple and solemn clothes appeared in the field of vision. Leading them were Bai Fuci and He Weiwei, and supporting them on the left and right were Bai Tunan and Bai Yi.
At such an important and solemn moment, the younger generation who can stand in front of the family elders and provide close support to the two elders are naturally given high hopes and favor.
This is a treatment that even a biological son cannot get.
Based on this point alone, Ning Yuechen could guess that Bai Yi had not been just focusing on his studies and career during the ten years he studied abroad.
The reason why this man was able to return to the country in one day and later hold real power with great vigor and determination was that, in addition to being ruthless enough, he also had the support of his powerful family behind him.
It seems that Bai Yi has indeed put a lot of effort into hiding this from Bai Jingyuan over the years.
Ning Yuechen didn't draw the curtains until the vehicles drove away in an orderly manner and the old house returned to silence again.
She turned and walked to the closet, picked out a bright red cashmere coat and a dark red knitted long skirt, then took out a pair of white leather shoes from the bottom layer and placed them together on the bed.
She went into the bathroom and washed up briefly, then sat down in front of the dressing table. As she was about to take care of her skin and put on makeup, she noticed a brocade box on it. She opened it and found the jade bracelet she had given to Bai Yi.
Ning Yuechen curled her lips slightly, she knew that the bracelet was not dropped by the other party accidentally. According to the ancestor worship ceremony, when entering the ancestral hall to worship, in addition to wearing calm and simple clothes, no jewelry can be worn on the body.
But for people who don't understand these things, if they give the jade bracelet to them, it can only be said that ignorance is bliss, just like her wearing a red dress and brand new white leather shoes.
An hour later, Ning Yuechen took a taxi to the Bai Family Ancestral Hall. She looked from afar at the many bodyguards standing on both sides of the solemn and majestic gate, with a defensive posture. She cleverly chose to go around to the back door, where there were still bodyguards guarding, but she was not going to go in from here in the end.
Before going to bed yesterday, she got Bai Yi to tell her that there was a small dog hole under the weeds at the side door. The reason for the existence of this hole was thanks to Bai Yunrui, the fool who had been stupid since childhood.
Because the ancestral hall worship ceremony has many rules and takes a long time, and there are bodyguards guarding the door, no one can enter or leave at will without the permission of the two elders. So Bai Yunrui, who has no patience and is disrespectful to his ancestors, dug such a hole and sneaked out in the middle of each sacrifice.
His behavior naturally did not escape Bai Yi's eyes, but since it had nothing to do with her, she naturally did not bother to ask more. She just mentioned it as a joke when her girlfriend asked about it.
Ning Yuechen easily crawled through the dog hole, dusted off his body, tidied his long hair, and then strode towards the dormitory where the worship ceremony was being held.
At this time, all the clan members of the Bai family gathered in the dormitory, standing in several rows according to their seniority, and Bai Fuci and He Weiwei, who were in the lead, had just completed the sacrificial ceremony.
Bai Yi and Bai Tunan helped them sit down on the chairs on both sides respectively, then returned to the middle, took the incense handed over by the monks, and completed the kneeling and burning incense ceremony in front of the tablets with solemn expressions.
Ning Yuechen stood outside the high threshold, watching the people in plain clothes holding a solemn ceremony. It was not until the final stage that she stepped forward to interrupt the atmosphere: "Sorry, everyone, I'm late."
Almost everyone looked at her in unison, especially after seeing her festive and bright clothes, their expressions were all excited.
Bai Fuci was almost mad at himself, and he drove the man away angrily: "Get out, this is not a place for you to come in! And what are you wearing? You have no manners at all! How disgraceful! How disgraceful!"
Ning Yuechen smiled sweetly, walked towards Bai Yi under everyone's gaze, and took out the brocade box from his pocket: "Baby, you forgot to bring your bracelet, I brought it to you specially."
As she spoke, she opened the box, and inside lay a crystal clear jade bracelet.
Now not only the two elders, but also the other elders could not bear to watch any longer. As the eldest brother, Bai Jingzhan naturally had to stand up and express his opinion first: "Miss Ning, today is an important day for our Bai family to worship our ancestors. It is against the rules for an outsider like you to come in casually, and it is even more disrespectful to wear such bright clothes. Please leave now."
Ning Yuechen ignored him and looked at Bai Yi with red eyes: "I just want to give you something. After I gave it to you, you will wear this bracelet every day and never take it off. Besides, I am so scared to be alone in the room. I don't want to be separated from you, even for a moment."
After she finished speaking, everyone present, except Bai Yi, looked unhappy.
He Weiwei was also very angry at her behavior. She covered her chest with an ugly face and said, "Yiyi, this is the girlfriend you found. She has no manners at all! Let her go quickly. Don't let her get in the way of our ancestors and dirty this place."
Ning Yuechen turned his head to look at her, his eyes full of provocation, and then turned to look at Bai Yi, his face full of grievance and helplessness: "Bai Yi, are you going to drive me away too? You just said you wanted to marry me last night, are you going to abandon me today?"
Bai Yi had never been in such a dilemma before. She held her girlfriend's hand and comforted her softly: "Can you go out and wait for me first? I will go back with you after this is over."
"Then put on the bracelet. I gave it to you specially."
Bai Fuci couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and ordered loudly: "Someone, kick this unruly person out, don't let me see her again!"
Ning Yuechen remained unmoved and just looked at Bai Yi. The light in his eyes dimmed little by little, replaced by hurt and disappointment.
The moment the bodyguard touched her, Bai Yi held her in his arms and said coldly, "Get lost, don't touch her."
Sweeping over with her cold gaze, the two bodyguards dared not act rashly and could only stand where they were, waiting for the next instruction from the head of the family.
Seeing that she was still defending her girlfriend in this situation, Bai Fuci was furious and felt even more disappointed with this granddaughter whom he loved so much.
He asked in a deep voice: "Yiyi, do you know what you are doing?!"
Bai Yi protected Ning Yuechen behind him, his expression calm: "Grandpa, Yuechen doesn't understand these worship rituals, and she doesn't have any bad intentions. She just felt scared staying in the room alone, so she came here. I hope you don't mind."
"No matter how ignorant she is, she can't come to the ancestral hall wearing a red dress and white shoes. She has been in the Bai family for so many years, doesn't she know the most basic rules? If she is really so innocent, how could she escape the layers of guards and get here alone? Yiyi, you are so smart all your life, but in the end you were fooled by such a little girl! Wake up!"
