Chapter 358 Dingming City 5
After recovering from his shock, the city lord stepped aside and allowed Cheng Jiu and the other two to sit in the most prestigious seats.
"Big brother!"
The middle-aged man who accompanied the head of the Wang family cried out in pain and rushed to the head of the Wang family's side.
"Third brother! My hand! My hand!"
"Don't worry, brother, you'll get better after taking the medicine!" Third Master Wang shakily took out a pill bottle from his pocket, poured out the pills inside, and fed them to Grandpa Wang.
He picked up his two arms from the ground in a disheveled state, looking at the three people sitting on his upper body with awe, and for a moment he dared not make another move.
Only then did Bai Jin truly experience firsthand just how intimidating the disciples of Immortal Lord Qingxu really were.
She glanced cautiously at Cheng Jiu and the other two, not intending to change her mind at the last minute.
Originally, the dominant power was in the hands of those forces and the city lord, but now Bai Jin firmly controls the dominant power.
Everyone present wanted to see what this woman, who held the reins, would do.
At this moment, the forces present subtly focused their attention on the Zhou family and the Wang family at the forefront.
One is the Zhou family, which is growing stronger in Dingming City and is becoming the leader of Dingming City; the other is the Wang family, with whom they have a marriage alliance.
More importantly, the two families are related by marriage; the Miss Wang was once the fiancée of the young master of the Qi family.
I wonder if the Wang family regrets their decision now, or if they feel they've gained a little but lost a lot!
Grandpa Chang knew that these people were laughing at him, and that they were waiting for his statement before making a decision for themselves.
However, he was not flustered, after all, he had made preparations in advance.
"It was my fault, to be honest!" Old Master Chang said apologetically. "My sixth brother offended you a few days ago! I wanted to come and apologize, but I was worried about your mourning period, so I waited until now! I remember there is still half a mineral vein in the Arctic, which happens to be the same as what Madam has. I will give it to you as an apology. I hope you won't be angry!"
The gesture of goodwill was extremely obvious, and the attitude was very humble. The forces present were somewhat disappointed and cursed the old fox in their hearts.
With that said, Bai Jin no longer cared. Just look at Qi Minghao's reaction; the effect was remarkable!
After all, there was no real conflict between the two families, and if the parties involved didn't care, Bai Jin wouldn't pursue the matter further.
Seeing his silly son looking so comfortable, Bai Jin felt a pain in his eyes: "Master Chang, what are you saying? It's just children playing around. There's no need for the mine."
I have a favor to ask, and I wonder if Master Chang would be so kind as to come and ask?
Grandpa Chang's emotions rose and fell with Bai Jin's words. When he heard the last sentence, he keenly sensed that there was something to gain and hurriedly said, "Of course I have time. I will follow Madam's arrangements!"
Grandpa Chang followed Bai Jin into the inner hall. Cheng Jiu and the others knew they had important matters to discuss, so they didn't follow.
The head of the Wang family also snapped out of his frenzy and looked at Cheng Jiu and the other two sitting at the head of the table, their faces ashen.
He knew that given the extent to which the Wang family had offended Bai Jin and his mother, this matter was unlikely to end well!
"Big brother!"
Give me your hand!
"Okay!" Third Master Wang completely sided with First Master Wang.
Seeing that he had the arm fitted, Cheng Jiu and the other two did not stop him and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was a good omen.
"I'm fine here! You go home first and come up with an apology that will satisfy the Qi family. Our Wang family..." The Wang family head sighed, his face pale.
He has never regretted arranging a marriage for his daughter; now he only feels that he is unlucky!
"Okay, okay, big brother!"
Without uttering a word of rebuttal, Third Master Wang turned and quietly hurried home through the back door of the Qi family, hurrying to prepare a satisfactory apology as instructed by his elder brother!
The head of the Wang family looked at the memorial tablet in front of the spirit in a sorry state; he had been tricked after all!
Looking at the trembling Qi brothers, he still felt he had won.
With the Wang family patriarch unharmed, everyone present relaxed.
It seems that the three people at the head of the table are not cruel or unreasonable!
This is wonderful!
It wasn't long before the Chang family head emerged with a satisfied smile, following behind Bai Jin. He was clearly very pleased with the negotiation!
"If Madam Bai Jin urgently needs it, I will send my second brother home to fetch it right away!" The Chang family head, who had received a great benefit, said considerately to Bai Jin.
"No need, the reputation of the Chang family head is well-known throughout the city!" Bai Jin said with a smile.
"What are your plans after this, Madam Bai Jin? If you wish to continue living in the Qi family, I will buy the Qi family mansion and give it to you."
"Jinbao'er! Jinbao'er! Are you there? I'm here to pick you up!"
Before Bai Jin could answer, a loud and unrestrained voice came from outside.
The head of the Chang family naturally recognized the voice, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He then apologized to Bai Jin, saying, "I was being redundant!"
A woman in a golden dress, accompanied by maids and guards, rushed into the Qi family home. Upon seeing Bai Jin, who looked old, her eyes instantly reddened: "Jin Bao'er, why are you in such a sorry state? Tell me quickly, who bullied you? Tell me, and I'll stand up for you!"
Bai Jin looked at her long-lost friend, said nothing, but stepped forward and hugged her tightly.
Only then did that restless heart find a sense of reality!
Why are you here?
"You've always been stubborn, and you never say anything even when you're wronged. I don't trust you!"
"Don't worry, do you think I'd suffer a loss?" Bai Jin smiled sincerely. "I've already taken care of things!"
"Sister-in-law, where are you going?" Qi Denggao finally realized something was wrong and questioned her sharply.
Qi Dengfei and the other two also realized what was happening and panicked, asking, "Sister-in-law, are you going to abandon us?"
"You're also a member of the Qi family, don't even think about leaving the Qi family!" What didn't Qi Denggao understand at this point? This woman had even prepared her escape route!
And what difference is there between the inheritance they received and a death warrant at this moment!
Bai Jin glanced at Qi Denggao, the only one among them who could be considered intelligent, and remained expressionless.
She wanted to say something, but now that everything had settled, she felt she didn't have the energy to say a single word to these four idiots.
With the added strength of Cheng Jiu and the guards brought by the woman, even the four men's rebukes seemed utterly pale and laughable!
They boarded the three-phoenix four-wheeled hearse that had come to pick them up, pulled by six black spirit horses, and left the city gate.
Watching Dingming City recede into the distance, Bai Jin felt a long-lost sense of exhilaration!
The hearse was warm inside, and she was about to begin a new life!
Qi Minghao naturally didn't ride in the same car as her.
Wen Xiang looked at her friend with a pained expression and took out a precious beauty product from the small cabinet: "Look at you, you really need to take good care of yourself. I've never seen you look so disheveled!"
Now that you're starting a new life, forget about that son! Be good to yourself!
"Don't worry, I know!" Bai Jin held her friend's hand. The two, one old and one young, were incredibly harmonious and affectionate!
With her friends by her side, Bai Jin's initial anxiety about the unknown future seemed to begin to turn into anticipation.
