Chapter 49 Bai Yi confronts Bai Yunrui
Bai Yi woke up to the sound of crackling firecrackers.
She sat up from the bed with a gloomy face, and kept this posture for about a minute. Then she got out of bed, walked to the window, and looked out through the gap in the curtains that were not completely closed.
Ever since coming to the Hong Kong family, I have never had a moment of peace.
During the day, I have to accompany the elders at home to receive relatives and friends who come to pay New Year's greetings. At night, I either attend various evening parties and banquets, or have dinner with the whole family, or there are endless parties.
She really didn't understand why these people would spend so much time indulging in alcohol and sex. It was so boring and uninteresting, and they were endlessly overdrawing their lives. It was really meaningless.
It was the same during the Chinese New Year before, with hustle and bustle during the day and music and singing at night.
But for some reason, she particularly hated this noisy scene this year.
Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. According to Chinese traditional customs, it is an important festival to welcome the God of Wealth. For a merchant family like the Bai family, this ritual activity is even more important.
Before dawn, the sound of firecrackers in the front and back yards of this single-family villa area never stopped, accompanied by the noise of early-rising children.
Bai Yi took out a light-colored dress and coat from the closet and put them on, then walked to the dressing table and put on some light makeup, then strolled out of the room leisurely.
When she arrived at the main dining room of the old house, the long restaurant was already half full.
Seeing that it was her, the one sitting in the front seat immediately greeted her with a loving smile: "Yiyi, are you awake? Come and have dinner."
Under the gazes of the crowd, Bai Yi walked over slowly, sat down next to his grandfather, and said, "Good morning, Grandpa."
"Good morning. There are firecrackers all morning. Did they disturb you?"
"Fortunately, I woke up early."
Bai Fuci looked at his most beloved granddaughter with a smile and said, "You can go back and take a nap after breakfast. There's nothing to do at home today."
"it is good."
Bai Yi took a bite of the sandwich and looked to the left casually.
The next moment, her eyes fell precisely on the person sitting in the middle who was also staring at her.
Then he smiled elegantly: "Brother Yunrui, long time no see."
Unexpectedly, she would suddenly talk to him. Before Bai Yunrui could retract his gaze, he could only respond awkwardly: "Long time no see. I heard from my uncle that you returned to China. After staying abroad for so many years, have you adapted to life in China?"
Bai Yi replied: "Of course I adapt. After all, I am back home."
"Haha, that's good, that's good." Bai Yunrui didn't know what to say and could only laugh it off.
Because he felt guilty, he was thinking of finding an opportunity to sneak out, but he didn't expect Bai Yi to ask him, "Brother Yunrui, how have you been recently? I see that you don't look very well and you are much thinner than before. Are you too tired from work?"
When she asked this, the other immediate family members present couldn't help but look at Bai Fuci at the main table with different expressions.
Everyone knows that among the old man’s three sons, the least promising one is the second oldest, Bai Jinggao.
Even more useless than him was his own son Bai Yunrui. Even the useless descendants in the side branches, any one of them who was lazy and careless, was better than this one.
Because of this, the old man, who had always been strong-willed, was very disappointed with the father and son. Especially since the eldest son was wise and steady, and the younger son was quite courageous.
This comparison made Bai Fuci feel even more upset.
Not only the Bai family, but the outside world also knows that when Bai Fuci was young, he often cleaned up the mess for his philandering son.
Now that he was old, he still had to worry about his sons, fearing that if he wasn't careful, the family business allocated to them would be squandered by the father and son.
But even so, no one dared to criticize the father and son in front of him on weekdays. After all, no matter how disgusted and blaming the old man looked, they were his own son and grandson after all. How could he not protect them at the critical moment?
Unexpectedly, before the end of the year, Bai Yi, the granddaughter who has been living abroad for many years, pointed it out in such a sarcastic way.
For a moment, everyone was waiting to see the show.
Facing her concern, Bai Yunrui responded with a fake smile: "Maybe I have been accompanying my elders to receive various relatives and friends recently, and I have to deal with the business partners at home, so I don't have much time to rest. You also know that every time such an important festival comes, whether it is at home or in the company, all these big and small things need us men to come forward. Unlike you girls, you just need to eat, drink, and do what you like."
Bai Yi just smiled lightly at the male superiority reflected in his words and said, "Brother Yunrui is right. It is indeed impossible for such a large family business to be supported without you. Yesterday, I heard from Brother Tunan that there was a problem with a batch of arms that arrived before the New Year. However, he has been keeping an eye on it from the inspection and confirmation at the time of shipment to the loading and the entire transportation process. So he suspected that the new partner had done something in advance, which prevented them from discovering it in the first place. Now the two sides are deadlocked over this issue. This business happens to be under your management. Can I ask you how it was finally resolved?"
Bai Yunrui didn't expect her to ask this question. His face instantly turned ugly, and he angrily counterattacked: "Why are you, a girl, asking about this? Besides, this is the business of our Hong Kong company, and your family has moved out independently, so things like this involving family business secrets cannot be disclosed to outsiders at will."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Fuci, who had remained silent, slammed the table and angrily scolded him: "What family?! What do you mean by independent? When did our Bai family split up?! Your uncle has made a fortune in the mainland over the years and has achieved what he has today. That is both his ability and his consideration for family affection. He doesn't want to take advantage of us. But he is my son, Yiyi is my granddaughter, your sister! He is still alive, and you have started to have other thoughts. Who taught you?!"
Bai Yunrui was so frightened that his face turned pale and he lowered his head, not daring to make a sound.
He was just focused on scolding Bai Yi and he accidentally said something like this.
You know, the topic of dividing the family is a taboo at home, but he just blurted it out.
Just as I was feeling annoyed, I heard Bai Yi's calm voice: "Grandpa, you misunderstood what Brother Yun Jing meant. He just wanted to say that in our Bai family, men have always been the masters of the family. As a younger sister, I should not interfere in things like running the family business. I just need to enjoy my life."
Bai Yunrui's back teeth were almost broken.
The next moment, I heard my grandfather snort coldly: "Who stipulated that only men in our Bai family can inherit the family business? You are so young and have already achieved such good results and reputation in the business world. Look at him, he is a few years older than you but has done nothing and just eats and drinks all day long."
"In the business that our Bai family has built over several generations, each generation has produced outstanding businesswomen. My biological mother, your great-grandmother, is the most typical example. I have always said that the Bai family's business is so big that whoever is capable can share it, regardless of gender, as long as the capable one takes it. If anyone dares to make such a son-biased speech in the future, get out of the Bai family!"
Bai Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and glanced at Bai Yunrui who looked embarrassed.
Then he said, "Grandpa, don't be angry. I believe no one in the family would think so. Would you like some tea? I have recently learned how to make tea, and it's pretty good."
Bai Fuci's expression immediately eased up and he said, "Of course I want to try the tea that my Yiyi brewed."
