Bai’s House
The corridor was sunny, flowers were in full bloom, the morning light was just coming out, and several housekeepers were chatting.
“The young master hasn’t left his room all day, is he in trouble?”
“There is no sound at all.”
“Could he have a sudden illness?”
“The butler is still there, don’t think too much.”
Birds chirped under the shade of the trees, and everyone looked at each other, and the noises tacitly subsided.
“I can understand that. With such a bad reputation, how can you dare to go out if you don’t even dare to look at your phone?”
“I saw people on the Internet saying that they wanted to throw rotten eggs at him and started a crowdfunding campaign. They raised several thousand yuan.”
“Who told the young master to be so unreasonable in the entertainment industry and do immoral things by relying on his status.”
“Wen Xiao is too miserable to be entangled by him.”
“I heard from the grapevine that young master Wen is coming here today to cancel the engagement…”
As soon as the word “cancel the engagement” came out, another bundle of firewood was added to the gossip furnace, and the fire burned more vigorously. “Really?” “Really?” “Where did you get the news?”
“Fake.”
A crisp female voice suddenly sounded, and everyone turned around and found that a woman with black hair tied up high and a very unfriendly face stood behind them. “Don’t you have anything else to do?”
Oh no, it’s Bai Ran!
Under the intimidating gaze of the second lady, everyone immediately lowered their heads and scattered like birds and beasts. Bai Ran’s clear eyes looked at the window not far away. The window was open, and there had been no movement inside for an unusually long time.
Her heroic eyebrows slowly frowned. What is Bai Sheng doing? At this point, crying can’t solve the problem. He won’t use this trick again, right?
At the same time, the morning light outside the window poured into the room, and the cheerful cry of Samoyed came from afar.
Bai Sheng, the young master of the Bai family, who should have cried, made a fuss, and even hanged himself, was lying on the 15-square-meter Simmons mattress in a big letter shape, lying down like a corpse Still and very peaceful.
Slowly leave this beautiful world.jpg.
“Young Master,” The butler next to him called again calmly with a towel, “You should get up, the people from the Wen family have arrived.”
Bai Sheng stubbornly remained in a coma: “…”
The butler began to repeat: “Young Master, Young Master, Young Master, Young Master, Young Master…”
Bai Sheng’s head hurt from being called continuously, and he finally condescended to open his right eye halfway.
“Please hand me the phone, thank you. I need to check the information.”
“Of course.” The butler nodded in a sonorous voice, “But you need to go through a strict screening before you can officially view it. I will not let you see any inappropriate content.”
Bai sheng: “What do you mean by inappropriate content?”
The butler: “Analyze the specific situation first then decide.”
“…” Bai sheng said softly: “butler, you shouldn’t be called butler, you should be called broadcasting authority.”
The butler: “?”
The cicadas under the shade of the tree began to work, chirping continuously, the sun gradually rose, Bai sheng turned over like a salted fish in the strong light, and finally finished reading the remaining ending of “After I Broke the Engagement, I Became Long Aotian” in his mind.
That’s right, he entered this anti-routine third-rate novel that can be known by the name.
The novel mainly describes that after the male protagonist Wen Xiao took the initiative to break the engagement, he was targeted by the other party’s family everywhere, but he continued to upgrade according to Long Aotian’s way, soaring to the sky, and finally successfully embraced the beauties. It is a traditional cool article.
Even though the beauties were later reported and forced to change their name to “confidantes”, it did not damage its refreshing nature at all. It was very popular at O Point[mfn](1)O Point is a term for a specific type of web novel, often meaning a “feel-good” story where the protagonist has a highly satisfying or triumphant journey, full of easy victories or a “wish-fulfillment” plot.[/mfn]. As a worker in the relevant industry, Bai sheng naturally heard about it. He also vaguely heard that there was a cannon fodder with the same name as him.
Bai sheng was silent, lifted the quilt, and lowered his head. His little bird was still vigorous, and it was a little bit coquettish, but it was indeed there.
Bai sheng: “…”
So who can tell him why in an O Point refreshing article, he, as a vicious cannon fodder whose engagement was broken off by Long Aotian, has a gender of “male”? ? ! Does this conform to the core values? ! !
Aotian, how long has this situation been going on?
“Young Master.” The butler was caught off guard by his action and was silent for a few seconds, but his reliable face quickly regained its composure, “Young Master Wen is already waiting in the hall. You have been unwilling to show up. Are you worried that the master will have conflict with him?”
As soon as he said it, Bai sheng turned over and got out of bed, stepping on the wooden floor with his white and round toes.
“It’s okay, I’ll be out right away.”
Since he is a vicious cannon fodder, the character of Bai sheng naturally has character flaws.
As the youngest son in the family, he has been spoiled since he was a child. He didn’t study hard and was too lazy to help in the family business. He entered the entertainment industry with a pretty face. Relying on his family’s background, he began to act willfully and recklessly, and offended many people in the circle invisibly. Although he has not done many bad things, he is now in a state of being blacklisted by the whole network.
After the engagement is broken off, a person with this kind of personality once he cannot get the love he wants, and becomes angry and ashamed. He instructs others to make things difficult for Wen Xiao and put obstacles in his career. Of course, the character who opposes the protagonist will not have a good ending. In the end, he is kicked out of the house, helpless and homeless, living on the streets, miserable and sad.
The Wen and Bai families were originally a cooperative relationship, and the engagement was also decided long ago. It has more than just superficial meaning. Wen Xiao’s decision to break off the engagement this time is entirely his own. He believes that he can be completely independent without relying on his family. He also hates arrogant young masters like Bai sheng who make trouble all day long, so he came to challenge them in a fit of anger.
“By the way,” Bai sheng finished washing up and stretched his legs, “How are the safety facilities in our house?”
After all, he is Long Aotian, and what will you do if he gets angry and hits you with thunder.
“Young Master, don’t worry about the voices on the Internet.” The butler half-knelt down to put on his soft slippers, lowering his eyes and saying, “No one can touch you at all, and a rotten egg can’t pass the security check at the door. If you are still worried–“
He opened a secret door neatly, “If there is an attack by a bad guy, I will hide in the door with you, it will be safer.”
“We don’t seem to be talking about the same thing, but.” Unexpectedly, he had reached such a difficult situation. Bai sheng’s eyes swept across The butler’s overly broad chest and arm circumference, and nodded in agreement, “You hide in the door, the bad guys will be safer.”
The butler: “…………”
He thought expressionlessly, why does the young master seem a little strange today.
After Bai sheng dressed neatly, he adjusted his collar, confirmed it one last time, and said, “Let’s go.”
Passing the corridor, he found that many people were secretly looking at him, and there was no kindness in their eyes.
He sighed and thought slowly. Alas, with such a disastrous start, it really feels like going out is worse than attending a funeral.
After walking through several corridors, The butler opened the door of the reception room for him. The moment Bai sheng stepped in, the lights suddenly turned on, and everyone in the room turned their eyes to him.
While being observed by everyone, Bai sheng was also observing everyone.
The handsome middle-aged man with a stern expression on the first seat was probably his cheap father; the beautiful woman sitting next to him wiping her tears was probably his cheap mother, and the heroic girl with a high ponytail sitting below should be his second sister.
In addition, in the center of the conference room stood a tall young man with a handsome face, sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. His pupils were black and shiny, and his chest was still rising and falling slightly. It seemed that he was suppressing a lot of anger and was worried about having no place to vent.
“Baby [mfn](2)Can also be called ‘youngest’ but ‘baby’ was more fitting so I kept it.[/mfn],” Bai’s mother called him, “Come and sit down.”
Bai sheng stepped over, “Yes.”
He sat on the chair next to Bai Ran and called out, “Second sister.”
“…” Bai Ran looked at him with a suspicious look, “Bai sheng?”
That’s not right. Logically speaking, being treated like this by his sweetheart, Bai Sheng must have gone crazy. Seeing his nonchalant look, it must be very hard for him to pretend now.
Bai Sheng tilted his head: “Huh?”
Bai Ran frowned: “You didn’t cry?”
“Why are you crying?” Bai Sheng adjusted his sitting posture leisurely, “If you can’t hold the sand, just throw it away.”
The personal pronoun here is “he”, not “it”.
Bai Ran: “…………”
Why is there such a short sentence that reveals endless murderous intent.
“Wen Xiao.” They had just had a round of confrontation, and under the tense situation, Bai’s father spoke. Although his face was unhappy, he still maintained his demeanor in a very educated manner, “The engagement is not just your business. Even if you want to cancel the engagement, please respect each other and let the person with the decision-making power negotiate formally.”
This sentence can be said to hit the minefield.
Wen Xiao snorted coldly, his handsome face suddenly put on a wicked smile, “Why do you think that I can’t decide my own life?”
Father Bai frowned slightly and tried to communicate, “This is not a question of whether you decide or not…”
That smile was 50% wicked and crazy, 30% careless, and 20% determined. Wen Xiao was immediately surrounded by a domineering aura. He interrupted Father Bai and said loudly: “My fate is determined by me, not by God!”
Everyone: “…”
Bai Sheng: “…”
So this is the concrete manifestation of Long Aotian in the novel.
It seems that his IQ is a little primitive.
Father Bai’s patience is beyond ordinary people: “I don’t mean that…”
“The person I want to talk to is not you.” Wen Xiao interrupted him again very rudely, his eyes pointed directly at Bai Sheng, “Are you still going to hide behind your family? Like every time before? I, Wen Xiao, can’t have such a weak person standing next to me.”
Bai Sheng raised his eyes and looked at him the two people’s eyes met in the air.
Father Bai has lived to this age, and he rarely sees such a big naughty child. His face turned green, but considering Bai Sheng’s mood, he still swallowed his words. Although Bai Sheng is willful, he has always been obedient to his fiancé and can’t bear to scold him. Now that he is pointed at his nose and scolded like this, how sad his youngest son must be.
“They say you are arrogant and willful, I can tolerate it; they say you are lazy and greedy, I can tolerate it; they say you are cunning, I can tolerate it – but what you should never do is to attack Xiao Jin!”
Wen Xiao said angrily: “He is just a little brother, why do you have to be so aggressive? You are now in such a situation, all because of your own faults.”
Bai’s father said angrily: “Wen Xiao! You are too much!”
While extracting information from his words, Bai Sheng felt that Aotian’s style of painting was somewhat abrupt in modern society, “It’s okay, Dad, let him talk.”
The Xiao Jin that Wen Xiao mentioned here is Liu Jin, the younger brother of one of Wen Xiao’s confidantes[mfn](3)ahem…..harem member [/mfn]. He debuted at the same time as Bai Sheng, was suppressed to the point of having almost no sense of existence, and then learned from his mistakes and became Dolly the sheep.
As we all know, Dolly the sheep was cloned. Liu Jin’s main approach is to copy Bai Sheng’s outfit, tone, common words, hobbies and interests from head to toe. The scale is quite accurate, and most people can only swallow their anger. But it was obvious that the original owner was not an ordinary person. When Liu Jin was complacent for being mistaken for Bai Sheng for the third time, he sneered and went up to confront him.
The result of the confrontation was not important. What was important was that Bai Sheng happened to be photographed by a staff member passing by. Coupled with some half-true and half-false negative black materials before, he immediately became an invincible bully on the Internet. The negative reputation even affected Wen Xiao, who was related to him. Now that everyone was distancing themselves from him, he could not sit still.
“I have nothing to say to you.” After a lot of nagging, Wen Xiao finally found a reasonable and legitimate motive for this breakup. “I am no longer someone who needs to rely on my family. I am an independent, sober, and free Wen Xiao. And you, a morally corrupt dodder, will never be worthy of me forever! I want to cancel the engagement. This is a notice, not a discussion!!”
It was clear that his current career was still secretly supported by the two families. Bai’s father could no longer bear it and was about to slam the table and shout angrily, but Bai Sheng stretched out his hand in front of him to stop him.
Father Bai looked at his rare firm eyes and suddenly softened his heart.
His poor little son——
“Do you think I’m not worthy of you now?” Bai Sheng stood up, his voice clear and icy.
Wen Xiao then realized that there was a subtle upward arc at the end of his eyes, and he was looking at him without avoiding. He was distracted and felt that Bai Sheng in front of him was a little strange, but he quickly came back to his senses, pulled up the corners of his mouth and snorted, “Yes, so what?”
“Okay.” Bai Sheng raised his head slightly, and in the eager eyes of everyone, he finally said the classic line for breakup, “Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west…”
Mother Bai’s eyes suddenly flashed with tears of relief.
The child has really grown up.
Father Bai was also deeply touched, and Bai Ran looked at her younger brother as if she had seen a ghost.
Just when everyone was holding their breath waiting for the next sentence “Don’t bully the poor young man!”, Bai Sheng changed the subject and waved to the back.
The burly butler suddenly flashed behind him silently.
“Don’t wait for thirty years.” Bai sheng said expressionlessly: “ Butler, beat him up now.”
The butler swung the stick professionally: “Yes.”
Everyone: “………”
Hmm? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
