Chapter 496 Bai Hua (2)
"This is the saying that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. They have such a strong force here, and I only have so few people, how can I defeat them?" Bai Yichen laughed, but Bai Hua didn't believe it.
Looking around, he saw Ji Xiaomu and other female relatives sitting aside cracking melon seeds and watching the show, as well as Fang Chen and others drinking tea and chatting. He already understood in his heart that this must be Bai Yichen's reliance.
Looking at the person at the center of the crowd, Bai Hua walked up to Fang Chen and said, "General Wu, long time no see."
"Master Bai, long time no see." Fang Chen saw Bai Hua and nodded slightly. He was not unfamiliar with Bai Hua as they had dealt with each other several times before.
"I never thought that I would see you again after so many years." Bai Hua said with emotion, "You are right, everything is just as you expected."
"Now my Bai family is in a dangerous place, and it is difficult to move forward." Bai Hua sighed.
"Don't you have Bai Yichen here? You don't have to be so desperate." Fang Chen glanced at Bai Yichen beside Bai Hua. Bai Hua followed Fang Chen's gaze and looked at his grandson. He didn't expect that Fang Chen attached so much importance to Bai Yichen. Is there some tacit understanding between the two of them?
"The world is not going well nowadays, so please protect us, General. My Bai family is willing to submit to you and be at your disposal." If it were in the past, Bai Hua would never have brought the entire Bai family to this remote town, but this town has such a person.
It has to be said that he had sent Bai Yichen out to gain experience and found a way out for the Bai family.
"I alone can't protect you." Fang Chen said with a smile, "I am also the one being protected."
"There is actually someone more important than the general?" Bai Hua was stunned, and then he remembered that Bai Yichen had said before that there was someone more important than the general, and asked him not to violate the general's taboos when he arrived, and not to underestimate the female members of the family.
"This is my wife, Aunt Ji, and this is Bai Hua, the head of the Bai family." Fang Chen introduced the two to each other.
"Grandpa Bai." Ji Xiaomu was good friends with Bai Yichen, so she followed Bai Yichen and called him Grandpa.
"Madam, you don't have to be polite. Just call me Bai." Bai Hua was a little flattered. He didn't expect that Ji Xiaomu would call him grandpa. She was Fang Chen's wife.
"Grandpa Bai, don't panic, because Bai Yichen and I are good friends. You can get along with Fang Chen according to your own way, and I will get along with you according to my relationship with Bai Yichen." Aunt Ji smiled, telling Bai Hua not to panic. After all, she and Bai Yichen had been friends for such a long time, and she couldn't act like a general's wife in front of him.
When Bai Yichen heard what Ji Xiaomu said, he couldn't help but look up and look at her. He couldn't help feeling a little moved. He didn't expect Ji Xiaomu to say this.
"How can we do this? It's against the rules." Bai Hua took a deep look at his grandson, then looked at Ji Xiaomu. Although she was dressed as an ordinary woman and had delicate features, her demeanor made Bai Hua feel very comfortable.
She was neither arrogant nor impetuous, neither humble nor overbearing. Her attitude was friendly and her tone was gentle. She could have used her status as the general's wife to command him and did not need to please him at all.
But she called him "Grandpa" because of their relationship. You know, once the word "Grandpa" was uttered, it meant that he became an elder, superior to them.
This would never happen in the imperial city.
"Bai Yichen, why don't you say something?" Ji Xiaomu said with a smile.
"Aunt, I have no right to speak here." Bai Yichen looked at Ji Xiaomu helplessly. He didn't have the courage to speak. Once Bai Hua came, his mission was completed. Logically speaking, he could retire and move behind the scenes.
