Bind to the collection system, I became a national treasure

aunt?

Bai Xi reached out and rubbed his smooth forehead.

What's going on today? Why are so many relatives she doesn't like coming here?

My mother's older sister is named Xi Shuchun. Don't get me wrong, there are no Xia and Dong in my grandpa's family. There are only two sisters, Chun and Qiu, because my grandma's name is Xi Dongxia.

The two sisters were surprisingly similar in their choices of marriage. Their uncle was also a civil servant, and his rank was much higher than Bai's father's.

Originally, the two families could support each other, but the uncle was a snob and looked down on Bai Weihua. A long time ago, he even cheated Bai's father, which almost cut off Bai Weihua's path to promotion.

After more than ten years, several young people who joined the organization later than him have reached the fourth level, but he is still a first-level clerk.

My uncle Zhong Guodong took advantage of the opportunity to rise to prominence and is now a deputy county-level official.

Since then, my uncle's family has basically stopped communicating with them. Except for returning to my grandfather's house during the Chinese New Year, they would never see them at other times, let alone invite them to dinner.

It seems like this is a Hongmen Banquet...

"Let's go. It's so hard for my aunt to treat us to a meal. It would be embarrassing not to go."

Bai Xi chuckled and looked up at his mother who was a little confused.

Go and see what my aunt and her family are up to. If they want to reconcile, that would be the best and would save my mother from being sad.

If he is trying to do something shameful again, then it would be a good idea to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and solve all the troubles in the family and the troublemakers at the same time.

"I'm afraid your uncle's family will come up with some bad ideas again..."

Xi Shuqiu was a little worried. She knew her sister too well. She was the kind of person who would never come to see them unless there was something important. She must have some ulterior motive in coming to see them.

"It's okay, Dad, Mom, I'm still here."

Bai Xi hugged his mother and comforted her softly.

"No, my dear, your uncle is an official..."

Xi Shuqiu was still a little worried. In the subconscious of the people of Xia Country, officials are more powerful than businessmen. Even though she knew that her family was rich, she still felt a little insecure in front of people in high positions of power.

"Oh, Mom, don't forget, the president of Fudan University also has a position, even higher than the top leader of our city! If things really don't work out, I can still ask him for help."

Bai Xi brought up Principal Jin. Although with her current power, it was not difficult for her to find the top leader of a prefecture-level city like Yangcheng through Xiao Rui, the latter was naturally more persuasive.

Xi Shuqiu was skeptical: "Really?"

"Really? If you don't believe me, ask my dad!"

"Yes, what Nannan said is true. The president of Fudan University is of a very high rank."

Bai Weihua seemed to have seen through his daughter's thoughts and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll call her then."

Only then did Xi Shuqiu feel relieved and took out her cell phone from her pocket.

Bai Xi lowered his head and thought for a while, his eyes flashing, and he took out his mobile phone and sent a message.

.......

7 p.m.

Rongjiang Hotel.

Bai Weihua dropped Bai Xi and Xi Shuqiu off at the hotel entrance, and then followed the respectful doorman to park the car.

Bai Xi and his mother went upstairs to find a room first. After his father and the car came up, they walked into the box together.

As soon as Bai Weihua pushed open the door of the box, his aunt Xi Shuchun came towards them.

"Xiao Qiu, Wei Hua, long time no see, come in quickly."

As he spoke, he pulled them in, and when he saw Bai Xi, his eyes lit up again.

"Oh, is this Xixi? She's so pretty now."

"Hello, auntie, hello, uncle."

Bai Xi nodded and scanned the room while calling for help. Then, Bai Xi and his family sat down at their aunt's table.

The box is quite large and can probably accommodate about twenty people. In addition to my uncle's family who had already arrived, there are also Baixi's grandparents, and my uncle's parents.

My uncle was sitting in the main seat. My aunt Xi Shuchun was originally sitting near the door. The boy sitting on his left, playing with his cell phone, should be the protagonist of this graduation banquet, her cousin Zhong Haochen.

After entering the door, they exchanged greetings and then sat down under the guidance of Aunt Xi Shuchun.

"You're so slow, I'm almost starving to death."

Zhong Haochen glanced at the Bai Xi family, an impatient look on his face.

The voice was very low, but the box was so small that everyone present could still hear it clearly.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Hurry up and call me aunt, uncle and cousin."

Xi Shuchun quickly smoothed things over, then smiled and said to Bai Weihua:

"Weihua, Xiaoqiu, the child is still young and naive, please don't be offended."

Bai Weihua and Xi Shuqiu quickly waved their hands to indicate that everything was fine.

Bai Xi rolled his eyes.

He's here, it's New Year's Day, he's just a child, everyone is dead.

The value of these four famous quotes is still increasing.

"Hello, auntie, hello, uncle, hello, cousin."

Under the threat of Xi Shuchun's gaze, Zhong Haochen reluctantly greeted Bai Xi and others.

"Hey, hey, okay."

Seeing his parents nod in agreement, Bai Xi pretended not to hear, picked up the teacup and started drinking water.

Who is not a child anymore?

Xi Shuchun didn't care. Seeing that everyone was there, she began to urge the waiter to serve the food.

......

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Baixi's grandparents hadn't seen such a happy scene for a long time, and they laughed out loud with joy.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost right, my uncle, who was sitting in the main seat and had always been arrogant, tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and the voices of everyone suddenly became a little lower.

I have to say that my uncle Zhong Guodong does look very official overall, with a blue striped polo shirt, black trousers and a big leather belt, plus his square face, which is very consistent with what was said on a certain audio platform in later generations, that he looks like a leader at first glance.

He picked up the white wine glass and turned to look at Bai Weihua.

"Wei Hua, I heard that your family just bought a house in Yangcheng Mingzhu?"

Bai Xi raised his eyebrows. Has the real intention finally been revealed?

They had such a good chat just now that she really thought her aunt and her family wanted to repair their relationship with them.

Bai Weihua was about to pick up some food with his chopsticks, but when he heard this, he paused and slowly put down his chopsticks.

"Yep."

"Where did you get the money? When did you get involved with Poly Group?"

Zhong Guodong frowned and asked in a commanding tone.

Before Bai Weihua could speak, Bai Xi tapped the water glass in his hand with his fingernails, attracting the attention of everyone present, and then spoke slowly.

"Uncle, you have such great authority, are you starting the interrogation right now?"

"When adults talk, why do children interrupt?"

Zhong Guodong scolded him in dissatisfaction, then said with a stern face, "I'm worried that your father will go astray! He's just a second-level clerk, how can he have so much money to buy the best apartment in Yangcheng Mingzhu!"

"I bought this for my parents. Not only did I buy a house, I also bought a car. Is there a problem?"

Bai Xi held his cheek with his left hand, squinted his eyes and looked at Zhong Guodong, his momentum not at all inferior.

"You, on the other hand, know everything very well. You even know what type of house we bought. You care so much about our family..."

"I wonder what you can do for me?"
