Bai Mu suppressed the complaints in his heart, showed the standard social smile of the head of the Xiao family, and nodded, "Uncle Qian and my late father were old friends. They helped a lot back then, but they didn't come to the door to say thank you. It's a pity..."
It sounds like social rhetoric, but Bai Mu's words are actually quite sincere.
He took over the Xiao family when he was still a half-grown child in this world. Of course, some people were dissatisfied with taking over the responsibility at this age. However, the deceased Mr. Xiao was really an awesome person with friends all over the world. Bai Mu was able to succeed smoothly back then.
I took over the family business thanks to the help of those seniors.
In response to Bai Mu's words, Young Master Qian's face was obviously confused, and he obviously didn't know what was going on.
Bai Mu understood. It turned out that the young master didn't know.
In fact, Bai Mu was quite confused by Mr. Qian's attitude. There were many people who helped him back then, but he was the only one who was as strange as Mr. Qian.
This gang of people helped a lot, but every time they beat around the bush, as if they were afraid of being discovered. After Bai Mu found out, he came to the door in person to thank him, but the old man gave him a cold face, and actually said
Not only that, but with that ferocious expression, even Bai Mu wouldn't be surprised if the old man took a broom and swept him out the next second.
Bai Mu guessed that this might have something to do with what Mrs. Qian said in a complicated tone when she looked at his face, "It's so similar."
——The vest he wore last time he came to this world is 70% or 80% similar to Mr. Xiao.
In short, Bai Mu had no intention of delving into the grievances and grudges of his ancestors. Since the old man refused to acknowledge them, he had no choice but to ask the Xiao family to take more care of the Qian family's merchant ships as a token of his gratitude.
Seeing this golden young master this time, Bai Mu originally thought that he had "resurrected from the dead" once. Mr. Qian finally planned to reconcile. It turned out that he had misunderstood and the young master came here on his own.
Bai Mu didn't mean to educate the young master about this. Seeing that he didn't know, he just said a few polite words vaguely, pointed to the young man, and asked him to take good care of the young master, and then hurriedly went to find Ling Shuangjian.
respect.
Unexpectedly, before he could turn around, his sleeve was pulled.
"Brother Bai Mugang," this young master obviously knows the tricks of hitting snakes with sticks. Bai Mugang just said that he knew the uncle of the Qian family, and he had already called him "brother".
Bai Mu turned around in confusion, only to see the child's face was solemn, as if he was about to say something big.
Bai Mu looked stern: Could it be that something happened to the Qian family?
Although he was in a hurry to find Sword Master Lingshuang, if something happened to the Qian family, he couldn't just sit back and watch. He quickly gestured to the boy he had just called to step back, and looked around for no one before he bowed his head.
He asked Young Master Qian what was going on.
The young master immediately looked over with tears in his eyes, and Bai Mu felt even more nervous. He thought from "The Qian family is going bankrupt" to "Master Qian was kidnapped"...
Just as he was thinking about these things, Young Master Qian came closer with tears in his eyes, took his hand, and choked out: "Brother Bai Mu, you have suffered."
