Chapter 5 Don't bully the poor?(1/2)
In the hall, the head of the Dongfang family, Baron Dongfang Xiong, his wife Zou, and several respected clan elders of the Dongfang family were talking to a man in his twenties.
The faces of the few were a little flattering.
The maids who were waiting on the side were very respectful and didn't even dare to move the insects when they flew onto their noses.
When Dongfang Bai entered the hall, everyone stopped talking, and everyone's eyes were concentrated on him.
Some are pity, some are contempt, and some are gloating...
Seeing Dongfang Bai, Dongfang Xiong's already very far-fetched smile became even more distorted.
He glared at his wife Zou Yu next to him and whispered:
"Didn't you agree that I'll deal with this matter? Why do you have to call Bai'er?"
"This is his business, how can he be without him?"
After Zou Yu gave Dongfang Xiong a blank look, he turned to Dongfang Bai and smiled:
"Bai'er is here! Why don't you come to meet Chief Han?
The chief clerk of Han not only served as an official in the imperial capital, but also had a bright future, but also the legitimate son of Count Han. Being able to know him is enough to make you brag for the rest of your life.”
Dongfang Bai ignored Zou Yu, and his eyes were staring at the pretty girl sitting next to Han Jianren.
Although the girl is only fifteen years old, she is already tall and graceful.
This is his fiancée, Jin Yuting.
When Dongfang Bai became famous, the head of the Jin family came to ask for this marriage.
Three years in the junior class, every winter and summer vacation.
Jin Yuting traveled thousands of miles to Dongfang's house and stayed with him for a while.
Jin Yuting is charming and understanding, and she is almost obedient to Dongfangbai.
It soon captured Dongfang Bai's heart.
Dongfang Bai has regarded her as the love of this life.
But when he heard that he could not condense his true energy.
Jin Yuting never came to see him again.
There was even news that the Jin family intends to break off the engagement.
Dongfang Bai didn't believe it at first.
Later it was a bit fierce, and he felt that it must be the head of the Jin family, and it had nothing to do with Jin Yuting.
He tried his best to practice, just to gather true energy as soon as possible and dispel the Jin family's thoughts.
From beginning to end, he never doubted Jin Yuting.
But today, he felt that his fantasy seemed to be shattered.
"Haha, this is the Oriental genius, right?
Fortunately, I am lucky to meet. This time, I came here to visit the Dongfang family and buy a batch of peach blossom wine.
Secondly, I just broke the engagement. Yuting and I fell in love at first sight and were about to get married soon.
So I would like to ask the Baron of the East and the Oriental Genius to make it easier.”
Although Han Jianren faced a smile, his words and eyes were full of contempt and arrogance.
There is even sarcasm!
The four words "Oriental Celestial" sound particularly harsh.
Even Dongfang Xiong's famous good temper can't stand it anymore.
He wanted to move, but Zou Yu held him down and suppressed him with eyes.
Dongfang Xiong instantly softened, his face full of bitterness.
Dongfang Bai ignored Han Jianren. His eyes were blood red, and he stared at Jin Yuting with a hoarse voice:
"Ting'er, are you really going to marry him?"
"well....."
Jin Yuting sighed softly, looked at Dongfang Bai, and shook her head slightly:
"Brother Bai, is the fact not obvious enough? Do you have to tell me?
I, Jin Yuting, recognized my words at the age of three, wrote poems at the age of five, and made my first pot of gold by credit and reselling at the age of seven.
He took charge of half of the Jin family's industries at the age of ten.
At the age of thirteen, the wealth of the Jin family tripled.
Now that I am fifteen years old, I officially established the Jin Family Trading Company and make money every day.
Brother Bai, if you are still the seven-star talented martial arts genius, we might be able to be together.
But now, you are just a waste, how do you deserve me?
Brother Bai, I had already heard the news before. My original intention was to hope that you could take the initiative to terminate the engagement.
Unfortunately, you have been pretending to be deaf and dumb. Why? Do you think your Dongfang family is a nobleman, so I can only commit myself to you?"
“Tick, tick!”
Dongfang Bai's fingers were deeply embedded in his palms, and blood dripped on the ground, making people heartbreaking.
Jin Yuting shook her head again, her eyes full of contempt:
"Dongfang Bai, stop struggling, this world belongs to geniuses, such as me, Ren Ge!
You have lost your talent and are not even a legitimate son. How can you be worthy of me?"
Dongfang Bai smiled bitterly. Is this the woman he has loved for more than three years?
Is this the woman I swear to protect for the rest of my life?
It's ridiculous, extremely ridiculous!
Jin Yuting glanced at him and took out a small wooden box from her sleeve.
When the box opened, a rich spiritual energy instantly filled the entire room.
People in the Dongfang family's eyes lit up, and many people's breathing became rapid.
"This is Aoki Longevity Pill! I bought it at a huge amount of money.
If your Dongfang family is willing to terminate the engagement, how about I send this Qingmu Longevity Pill to your Dongfang family?"
"hiss!"
When everyone heard the three words "Aokiki Longevity Pill", they all gasped.
Even Han Jianren's eyes showed a hint of greed.
When the invasion of another world, the spiritual energy revived. In addition to the appearance of spiritual beasts, many medicinal herbs have also become spiritual herbs.
Those legendary alchemists also appeared.
Qingmu Shousheng Pill is an extremely precious elixir.
After taking it, it can repair body functions and prolong life for ten years.
Although everyone can only take it once in their lifetime.
But it is enough to make the old men and women crazy.
Even in this world, it is difficult to buy and usually only appears at auctions.
In this world, nobles have a very high status and many privileges.
When a commoner enters a marriage contract with a noble, it can only be terminated by the noble.
This involves the face of the nobles.
Even the most down-and-out nobles enjoy the privileges of nobles.
Because the titles of the country are all obtained through military achievements.
They, or their ancestors, made great contributions to the human race.
So they should have the minimum respect.
This is not only the will of the country, but also the willingness of the people.
Jin Yuting is a businessman who works well and never makes mistakes.
So she made preparations.
Although Han Jianren is the son of the Count.
But if the Dongfang family refused, he had no choice.
After all, the Dongfang family no longer serves in the empire.
