Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 336: Win people’s hearts

Bai Xun took them to the second floor. The maid served tea and snacks and then left. Xu Shuisheng placed an exquisite brocade box on the table.

Bai Xun opened the box, and inside was an emerald jade necklace inlaid with diamonds.

The jade appears a solemn lake green under the light, and paired with dazzling diamonds, it looks luxurious and brilliant.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't take her eyes off the jade necklace on the table.

The jade jewelry she wore today could not compare to the quality of this necklace.

"It is indeed a rare treasure! It has plenty of water and deep color. It must be worth a lot of money." Uncle Han Wu exclaimed.

Bai Xun smiled and said, "Madam Zhang, if you like it, you can try it on."

Mrs. Zhang's eyes lit up and she was very tempted, but when she thought about its high price, she couldn't help but hesitate.

Bai Xun said, "It is an honor for this necklace to catch Madam Zhang's eye."

Mrs. Zhang said in surprise, "Oh, how can this be so embarrassing?"

Bai Xun said respectfully, "This banquet is the first one I've held in Yangcheng since becoming the Patriarch of the Bai Family. I'm very grateful to Director Zhang and his wife for their hospitality. This is just a small token of my respect, but I hope you will accept it!"

Master Han Wu smiled and said, "Director Zhang, Madam Zhang, isn't it a good thing that you have such a capable nephew?"

Mrs. Zhang looked at Director Zhang and saw him nod.

Mrs. Zhang beamed. "Then I'll be polite. The Supervisor is hosting a New Year's ball at his home in a couple of days. My dear nephew, you must come and attend."

"Sure, sure." Bai Xun replied.

"Hey, that's blue and white multicolored, right?" Uncle Han Wu stood up and walked to the table, on which lay a pair of blue and white multicolored porcelain vases with flower and bird patterns.

"Fifth Master has good eyesight. It is indeed blue and white multicolored." Bai Xun walked over and said.

Master Han Wu held the bottle and examined it carefully. Seeing Supervisor Zhang approaching, he handed it to him and said, "Supervisor Zhang, you are an expert. Please take a look."

Supervisor Zhang took it, looked at it, and praised it highly: "The body is dense, the colors are rich, and the flowers and birds are lifelike. The craftsmanship is exquisite, it is a top-notch product!"

Bai Xun smiled and said, "If you two like it, I will send someone to your residence after the banquet."

"No, no!" Uncle Han waved his hands.

"Yes, a gentleman does not take away what others like." Supervisor Zhang said.

Bai Xun said awkwardly, "I was just worried. Three elders, we can't just give one gift, right? If I tell others, they'll say I don't know the rules and am partial."

Madam Zhang smiled upon hearing this and said, "You two grown men should stop being so shy. Just accept this gift from my nephew."

Master Han Wu and Supervisor Zhang smiled at each other and said, "Then we will really accept it."

"I couldn't ask for more." Bai Xun said with a smile.

Some people saw four people coming down from upstairs, all with smiles on their faces, and seemed to be having a good chat. They felt envious but also uncomfortable.

"The new head of the Bai family is really capable! Supervisor Zhang doesn't usually attend these banquets. Today, he really gave the Bai family head enough face!"

"Yes, I have to say that the old patriarch of the Bai family really has good vision! At first, everyone thought that the second young master Bai was just a nerd. He was probably only good at talking about business on paper."

"That's right! Instead of using the eldest young master who has been in the business world for many years, they actually used him. I thought the Bai family was finished! Who knew that this second young master is even more resourceful than the eldest young master? It really broadened my horizons!"

"Why do they say it's better to appoint a virtuous person than the eldest son? The Bai family has been able to stand firm, with each generation becoming stronger than the last. That's because they have foresight and courage."

Sheng Zexi said nothing and just drank his red wine.

These people are praising Bai Xun in front of him, aren't they just trying to make him look bad and stir up trouble?

How could he fulfill the wish of a bunch of bastards who can't stand seeing others doing well?

Seeing Sheng Zexi's expressionless face and stern eyes, those people knew their shameful thoughts had been seen through, and awkwardly changed the subject.

"But why haven't I seen the male wife of Master Bai?"

"Yes, they used to go out together a lot."

"How can the head of a family have a male wife? I heard that the Bai family's business in He'an was handed over to that concubine."

"Oh, don't tell me...you want to divorce your male wife and make your concubine your legal wife?"

“That’s as it should be.”

Sheng Zexi frowned. He was both happy and angry when he first heard the news.

He was naturally happy because Nanchun left Baixun, so he had a chance.

He was angry because he felt sorry for Nanchun, who had spent so much effort to build bridges and roads for the Bai family, only to be abandoned the next moment.

The Bai family is truly despicable and shameless!

He came to Bai Xun's party just to see if Nanchun was there.

Yesterday, Baisha received new information from He'an County: Nanchun had left Baijiazhai with his mother at the end of last year. They had investigated for several days and asked many people, but no one knew where he had gone.

Sheng Zexi clenched his fists, feeling extremely regretful.

He thought about it more than once.

Whether Nanchun is willing or not, he must be locked up by his side, or taken to the West so that no one can find him.

This crazy thought appeared in his mind again and again, tormenting him to the point of madness.

Years ago, he had wanted to find an opportunity to meet Nanchun, but something went wrong in the tung oil and bristle business in Sichuan City, and he had to go there to stabilize the situation.

He thought he would only be away for ten days or half a month, and that he would be able to come back to Nanchun after he had resolved the issue. However, after arriving in Sichuan and understanding the details of the situation, he realized that things were not that simple.

Someone is secretly plotting to harm the Sheng family.

Things became difficult and complicated, and he really couldn't leave, so he stayed in Sichuan City for more than half a year.

Sheng Zexi looked at Bai Xun, who was getting along with everyone in the crowd, and couldn't help but gritted his teeth.

He had to find Nanchun no matter what.

After the banquet ended, Bai Xun sent Supervisor Zhang and his wife away, then bowed to Master Han Wu and said, "Thank you for your help, Master Wu!"

Master Han Wu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Helping you is also helping myself. In today's world, I'm afraid that peaceful days will not last long. Unity and mutual assistance are the key to survival."

After Han Wuye left, Xu Shuisheng came over hurriedly: "Master, the eldest son of the Sheng family sent someone to He'an."

"Oh? Could it be that Sheng Zexi has already guessed that it was me who tripped him up in Sichuan City?" Bai Xun asked.

Xu Shuisheng touched his nose uncomfortably: "It shouldn't be because of this."

"What's that for?"

Xu Shuisheng said awkwardly, "There's news coming from He'an, saying...Mr. Sheng's people are looking for the Second Young Madam everywhere."

Bai Xun's face instantly turned gloomy, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were cold.

Seeing this, Xu Shuisheng hurriedly said, "Is Mr. Sheng planning something bad?"

Bai Xun said in a deep voice, "Just like Director Zhang and Madam Zhang said, it's time for Master Sheng to consider his marriage. He's not paying attention to it himself, so we have to pay attention to it on his behalf."
