The waiter, fighting back tears, shakily set a cup of hot tea in front of Bai Chuwei; perhaps out of nervousness, so of the tea spilled over.
The old Mr. Rong seed ready to explode again but cald down as soon as he t the ancient ancestor’s gaze.
After serving the tea, the waiters hurriedly retreated, not daring to disturb them further.
Bai Chuwei picked up the tea cup, gently blew on it, took a sip, and comnted, “Snow Mountain Mist, not too shabby.”
Everyone suddenly laughed. What good thing hadn’t the old ancestor seen or used in all her years?
To receive a “not too shabby” was already quite an accomplishnt.
Apart from Qi Mo, the six Family Heads all wanted to make small talk with Bai Chuwei, with the Shen Family’s old man turning red-eyed even more so.
He was already in his seventies or eighties, at an age where his parents had long passed, making him the eldest in the family; but when facing the old ancestor, he could act like a child seeking affection from an elder, just like seventy years ago when he first t the old ancestor.
Qi Mo glanced at Tang Ke, who stood stiffly in the center of the room; soone was in for it today.
Tang Ke watched dumbfounded as old n and old won, middle-aged n, and younger generations all squeezed their way toward the young girl, each one hoping to be stroked on the head.
Those who got their heads stroked were thrilled, their excitent made him wonder if they were drugged.
Tang Ke: “…” Dammit, what the hell is going on here? Just who is this woman?
“Qi Mo,” Bai Chuwei said, putting down her tea cup.
Qi Mo: “Present.”
Bai Chuwei glanced at Tang Ke, her tone indifferent, “I’ve sent you a docunt on WeChat, help print out a few copies.”
Qi Mo took out his phone, looked at the docunt, and his mouth twitched slightly, “Alright, just a mont please.”
Rong He couldn’t help himself, “Old ancestor, Qi Mo knows your WeChat ID, how co I don’t? Can you add too? I’ll just scan your QR code.”
The Shen Family old man watched, fuming and continuously slapping his leg, lanting that he didn’t know how to use these apps.
Tang Ke completely lost it and roared, “Have you not noticed ? What is going on? Who exactly is this woman?”
“Slap—”
The Shen Family patriarch retaliated with a slap across the face, furiously exclaiming, “This woman? Who are you talking to?! How dare you address the old ancestor in such a manner? I think you’re tired of living!”
Shit!
Tang Ke cursed in his mind. They were all the heads of powerful families, and even though he was much younger than the Shen Family old man, they were supposed to be equals. How dare he hit him?
Bai Chuwei calmly said, “Educate this illegitimate child of the Tang Family on who I actually am.”
Illegitimate child, after all, is an illegitimate child.
“Who is the old ancestor? The person who founded our eight great families. Do you think our eight great families have been without conflict and prospering together for hundreds of years by chance?”
Rong He looked at Tang Ke sympathetically, “This secret is only known to each Family Head and their heir. It’s normal for an illegitimate child like you not to know.”
The old ancestor?
Hundreds of years?
Absurd! Absolutely absurd!
Tang Ke almost burst out laughing, “A person can live for hundreds of years? Are you all putting on a play for ? Or are you telling she is a fairy?”
The Shen Family patriarch glared furiously, “What do you know? When I was just a boy, I t the old ancestor, and my father had t her when he was a child too. Passed down generation to generation for hundreds of years, she has never changed!”
Suddenly, Tang Ke’s laughter faltered, his pupils contracted; the Shen Family old man… never lied.
A person, could indeed live for hundreds of years?
Bai Chuwei’s lazy voice rang out, “Now then, shall we settle the accounts?”
