Who are you and why are you fooling me into eating shit? (Part Two)

“That’s me. Please have a seat.” Ren Xingliu nodded at him. 

Bai Juanqiu sat down opposite him and said, “Sorry for my tardiness. I got stuck in a traffic jam…”

“No worries.” Ren Xingliu waved his hand, poured water into the second cup on the table and pushed it in front of the other person. “It’s quite hot outside. Have some water first.”

Bai Juanqiu couldn’t help but be a little surprised. He had heard many rumors about Ren Xingliu before, saying that this young master was extremely arrogant and domineering. He thought that because he was late on purpose, the second generation ancestor would give him a slap in the face.

Bai Juanqiu was surprised. He had heard many rumors about Ren Xingliu before this, all of which said that this young master was extremely arrogant and bossy. He thought by purposely arriving late, the second-generation ancestor would show the dignity of dismounting from the horse. 

Just from this first meeting, this young master was quite cultured, no?

Bai Juanqiu gave his thanks and picked up his cup. As he was about to have a drink, he noticed that Ren Xingliu’s eyes were still on him, with a hint of scrutiny in them.

Examining him already?

Bai Juanqiu was instantly annoyed. The small trace of good feeling he had towards Ren Xingliu vanished into the thin air like smoke.

This man surnamed Ren is indeed a rich and aloof young man as rumored by the outside world. He may have regarded this so-called blind date as his unilateral selection of a concubine, and is now evaluating the “qualification” of the target.

As rumored by the outside world, this Ren person was indeed a wealthy and influential young master, setting oneself high above the masses. He hoped the other person wasn’t treating this so-called blind date as his own consort selection and was currently assessing his partner’s qualifications. 

Bai Juanqiu’s heart turned cold, while showing none of this on his face, in fact, he was even showing his usual smile. He asked casually, “What is Mr. Ren looking at?”

Ren Xingliu was indeed sizing up Bai Juanqiu, and the more he looked at him, the more regretful he felt. He didn’t pay attention to his sense of proportion for a moment. He only realized what he was saying when Bai Juanqiu said it. He quickly withdrew his gaze, coughed slightly, and said, “Bai Juanqiu” Sir, although this is our first meeting, there are a few things I feel it is necessary to say.”

Ren Xingliu was indeed sizing up Bai Juanqiu, and the longer he looked, the sorrier he felt. He failed to notice the boundary for a moment, and only realized how rude he was being when Bai Juanqiu asked. Quickly averting his eyes, he cleared his throat and said, “Mr. Bai, I know this is only our first meeting, but I felt that there’s something I need to say.”

Bai Juanqiu couldn’t resist finding the other person’s serious appearance amusing. “Please, go ahead.” 

He wasn’t in a hurry either. After saying that, he continued to drink water, taking his time. He wanted to hear this young master’s evaluation of him.

Then, he saw Ren Xingliu straightening his body, looking over with a righteous look, and said seriously: “I know there is a lot of pressure in society now, especially when young people first come out to work, it is really hard. But a man should stand upright, and taking shortcuts rashly is likely to bring endless troubles, especially shortcuts like marriage, which is a life-long matter.”

Then, he saw Ren Xingliu sat up straight and used this stern gaze on him, saying in all seriousness, “I know there’s a lot of social pressure these days, especially difficult for young people that graduated right out of college. However, a manly man should stand upright on both legs between heaven and earth. Taking shortcuts may bring inexhaustible future troubles, especially with something like marriage. This relationship is a lifelong commitment.”

Bai Juanqiu: “???”

Because he was in the middle of drinking, he almost choked on water with these words. He quickly put down his cup and looked at Ren Xingliu with a bewildered expression.

Wait, what was Ren Xingliu talking about? 

In this blind date, shouldn’t his appearance, background, and other criteria be evaluated? Why did it turn into a major principle of life?

Ren Xingliu was afraid of hurting his self-esteem, so he spoke more tactfully. Unexpectedly, he didn’t understand yet, so he had to make it clear. He said sadly: “Comrade Xiaobai, before you came to the blind date, haven’t you heard about me? Human? Have you ever thought about what you would do if I really got married as I said outside? “

Ren Xingliu was afraid of hurting the other person’s self-esteem, so he spoke with great tact. Instead, Bai Juanqiu didn’t get the message, so he had to point it out with a grievous tone, “Comrade Xiao Bai, have you not heard about what kind of person I’m before this blind date for marriage? Did you even think about what’s going to happen if I was as rumors had said, and we really got married?”

Bai Juanqiu: “…”

He got it now.

But…wasn’t Ren Xingliu being too knowledgeable on his self-worth? 

Ren Xingliu continued: “Your relatives are irresponsible and introduce you to people like me. It doesn’t matter if they don’t have to live with me. You should be a good boy and be more careful…”

Ren Xingliu continued, “Your relatives sure are irresponsible, introducing you to someone like me. It’s not like they have to deal with me on a daily basis. You’re a good person, so you need to save yourself more dessert…”

Bai Juanqiu: “……” 

To be honest, before his arrival, he had thought of several plans to deal with Ren Xingliu, thinking that no matter what kind of person Ren Xingliu was, he was confident that he could handle it.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

But none of those plans covered this scenario.

Bai Juanqiu’s thought processes were disrupted, and for the first time, there was a slight crack in his rational way of thinking. He was taken about for a moment and cleared his throat, saying, “I was forced.” 

Ren Xingliu: “…!”

He was almost overcome with rage, but after a while, he exhaled all the grief and indignation. “That possibility never crosses my mind.” 

In fact, this kind of thing wasn’t uncommon. During his time in the Sheng Dynasty, various forces often sent beauties to his side.

Despite being in a different time period, the powerful circle’s means stayed pretty much the same.

It’s just that he has been so angry with the overly considerate chief ministers in the past few days that he forgot for a moment that Bai Juanqiu’s background is different from theirs. He may be more eager to get the upper hand than they are, but it is also more likely that he is the one who is influenced by others. at the mercy of.

However, in the past few days, he had been overwhelmed with anger from the earlier blind dates, forgetting for a moment that Bai Juanqiu’s origin was different from others. Despite being in a position where the urge to rise to power was much higher, there was also a high chance that he was at the mercy of others. 

Ren Xingliu felt ashamed and admitted his mistake, “My apologies. I was being too presumptuous.”

“It’s alright.” Bai Juanqiu couldn’t hold back his chuckle and teased, “I know you’re looking out for me.”

“…” 

“The Bai Family is also so shameless.” Ren Xingliu already had a basic guess. “Can you tell me the whole story?”

Originally, Bai Juanqiu thought Ren Xingliu walked the same road as Bai Yao, so he came up with ways to deal with him.

Never did he think his blind date would end in this direction.

At first, Bai Juanqiu was hesitant, but since it was brought up, and seeing that Ren Xingliu was much righteous unlike the rumors, he pondered and revealed a few things.

What happened next was the righteous indignation overflowing in Ren Xingliu’s chest, even more than Bai Juanqiu was, and he was the subject. He quickly mediated the situation with a few more words.

Of course, leaving out anything he shouldn’t breathe a word of, such as his actual situation.

In the end, their date became them sitting together and cursing at the Bai Family, mainly by Ren Xingliu, while he provided the materials to add the fuel. UwXNzk

For a moment, the scene was filled with the voice of justice.

The meal came to an end with Ren Xingliu cursing and paying the bill. Ren Xingliu was still defending Bai Juanqiu and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t make things difficult for you. You can say whatever you want when you get back.” say.”

Their meal came to an end amidst Ren Xingliu’s swearing. After paying for the meal, Ren Xingliu was still defending Bai Juanqiu, “Don’t worry, I won’t make things difficult for you. Once you’re back, you have to say whatever you need to say.”

Bai Juanqiu unable to help smiling. “Thank you.” 

If he had any doubts about Ren Xingliu, within this meal’s time, it was enough for him to change his mind and gain a new judgment on this young master.

It was hard to say whether Ren Xingliu was really as without learning and reckless as the outside world claimed. At least, his character wasn’t as bad as rumored.

Ren Xingliu even had this powerful sense of justice, which was much better than many of those rich second-generation Bai Juanqiu had seen.

Especially when cursing the father and son of the Bai Family. He also possessed a masterful level of language mastery, as well as a certain literary talent. 

Bai Juanqiu originally planned to end it like this, but when he looked up, he saw that Ren Xingliu’s eyes were still full of love, as if he regarded himself as a pitiful little kid who was being exploited. He felt even more funny in his heart, and he deliberately said: “But let go I won’t give up if the Bai family doesn’t achieve their goal.”

This was the outcome Bai Juanqiu wanted in the first place, but when he looked up and saw Ren Xingliu’s eyes brimming with sympathy, treating him like a pitiful little one who was helpless at others’ trample. Finding this whole thing funny, he deliberately said, “However, if I’m off the hook in this marriage, which means the Bai Family didn’t achieve their goal, they will certainly not leave the matter at that.”

He originally wanted to tease Ren Xingliu as well as dig a pit for the Bai Family in the process.

What he got with a more resolute gaze from Ren Xingliu, who encouraged him, “Boys need to learn to protect themselves and stand up for themselves when the situation calls for it.” zrMFaI

He had to self-reflect, for he must be as tough as the sun. Letting the good flow, he said, “I will.” 

It’s not that Ren Xingliu doesn’t want to help Bai Juanqiu, it’s actually that he can’t protect himself now. He might be assigned to those big internal managers by Ren Zhuxu tomorrow and live a miserable life… If he dares to interfere in other people’s family affairs again , Ren Zhu would not believe his warm-heartedness, and would only break his other hand.

It wasn’t like Ren Xingliu didn’t want to assist Bai Juanqiu, but he was powerless to defend himself as well. Maybe he will be paired with one of the other blind dates by Ren Zhu tomorrow, leading a tragic life of flying chickens and leaping dogs… If he tried to interfere in someone else’s family affairs, Ren Zhu wouldn’t believe his sincerity and break his other arm.

For a moment, he didn’t know who was worse off, him or Bai Juanqiu…

As Ren Xingliu was sighing for himself, a new notification popped up on his phone. 

Ding Shi: [Xingbao, after much thought, you just want the Queen Mother to think that you are settled. There is no need to be serious. I will introduce you to a few extras. Can you just spend some money to hire one? 】

Ding Shi: [Xing-bao, I thought this through, you just want to make the Empress Dowager think that you have settled down. Since this is just for a show, let me introduce you to a few actors, or why don’t you spend some money to hire one yourself?]

Ding Shi: [This way, once the storm dies down, it will be much more convenient for you to get away.]

As expected from his dog-like friend who had been provoking cats and teasing dogs with him since childhood, having sufficient experience in fooling families.

A road of thought was suddenly opened for Ren Xingliu. Ren Zhu was serious this time, and what he was really afraid of was her hardening her heart and directly running the whole show for him. 

Of course, hiring an actor was no good. With how much his past self had engaged in a battle of wits and valor with his mother, no way an actor could fool her.

Bai Juanqiu was about to get up when he saw Ren Xingliu suddenly raised his head, looked at him with piercing eyes, and said with an upright expression: “Comrade Xiao Bai, I think it is too difficult for you, a boy, to deal with the Bai family. I should Help you.”

As Bai Juanqiu got up and was ready to leave, Ren Xingliu suddenly looked up, and they met eyes. With that burning gaze on him, he heard the other person say with a straight face, “Comrade Xiao Bai, I think it’s too difficult for a boy like you to handle the Bai Family. So, I should help you.”

Bai Juanqiu: “?” 

That wasn’t what you said earlier?!
