Chapter 1278 Hundreds of Families’ Reactions

A few years ago, there were many Western restaurants in Yanjing, because many Chinese people felt that eating in Western restaurants was very classy, ​​which gave rise to the barbaric development of this industry.

Any shop decorated in a Western style, with two steaks, and waiters wearing suits, can be a very prestigious Western restaurant.

However, as Chinese people become more and more knowledgeable, especially eating Western food occasionally as a mood, for the majority of foodies, even if they don’t say that Western food is bad for the sake of face, their stomachs undoubtedly belong to Chinese food.

At the same time, with the establishment of local offices in Beijing, the local specialties of the elder brother, plus the supplement of private dishes, in the past two years, people who know how to eat no longer talk about going to Western restaurants, but always forget those small canteens of the Beijing offices, and the private restaurants in remote locations.

Tan’s Private Restaurant can be said to be a more famous private restaurant in Yanjing. If there is a ranking of private restaurants, then Tan’s Private Restaurant is at least in the top five, and even the reputation can reach the top three.

Tan's cuisine is most famous for bird's nest and shark's fin. Its cooking features retain the characteristics of Hanlin Mansion's family banquet, and the salty and sweet taste is suitable for both the north and the south.

Yang Dongxu did not return to the big courtyard after work in the evening, but took a car from Daqianmen to pick up Bai Qian and came to Tan's private cuisine in the east of Chang'an Street.

During this period, Yang Dongxu accompanied Bai Qian almost every day when he was free. Women are always sensitive in the early stages of pregnancy. Chen Xin, who had been talking about work, seemed to have noticed something. After talking about work, she left Yanjing directly without any intention of staying.

Li Fuzhen had said before that she came to Yanjing to arrange work, but Yang Dongxu had been in Yanjing for almost half a month and she did not come, nor did she give a reason for not coming.

In the past, Yang Dongxu thought that these women would not ask each other about each other even if they knew each other's existence, and would not even have any intersection in private.

Now it seems that these women of his may not have had any contact with each other, but sometimes they know each other's situation better than Yang Dongxu.

It is troublesome for pregnant women to eat. Although Bai Xi did not show any special symptoms of morning sickness here, Yang Dongxu has been trying to make delicious food for her during this period.

Taking advantage of the fact that morning sickness is not serious and she can eat now, she should eat more good food to supplement. Who knows if morning sickness will suddenly become serious in the future? The physical changes of pregnant women are sometimes more unpredictable than the clouds in the sky.

However, today I came to Tan's private kitchen not to make delicious food for Bai Xi, although what gutter oil and pigment additives are not well known now.

But Yang Dongxu is undoubtedly worried about the dishes in other restaurants. Anyway, Yang's restaurant has all kinds of cuisines, and they change every day and never repeat themselves for a year. So during this period of time, the two people ate at various special dishes of Yang's restaurant.

The reason why I came to Tan's restaurant to eat today was because of the dinner arranged by Bai An. Bai Xi's pregnancy has caused a great impact on Bai Jia, and even in the circle of Yanjing, many people who are interested in it also talked about it privately.

But on the surface, Bai Jia did not react at all, did not make a fuss, and did not say anything to Bai Xi. He kept silent. Until today, Bai An suddenly arranged this dinner, obviously to show something.

"See you later" Bai Qian looked at Yang Dongxu and hesitated.

Bai Jia did not respond. Her father did not know whether he felt ashamed or was still dissatisfied with her daughter holding the power of Bai Jia. He did not say a word to her about this matter.

Although she planned to be with Yang Dongxu as a child, she was mentally prepared. But when the time came, Bai Qian was more or less affected by the cold violence of her family.

"If your family feels that you are pregnant and it is not convenient to manage the foundation of Bai Jia, they will give them your cosmetics factory together with the assets and bank deposits of Bai Jia in your hands.

After you give birth to the baby, if you still want to work, I will arrange other companies for you. If they don't want the cosmetics factory but only want money and other assets of Bai Jia, I will help you make up for the gap in the amount of money spent on the factory." Yang Dongxu turned his head and smiled at Bai Qian.

"Things haven't come to that point." Bai Xi said, but it was obvious that she didn't even believe it herself.

Having a child and not having a child are two completely different things. If Bai Xi follows Yang Dongxu without knowing why, the Bai family will definitely turn a blind eye.

After all, tying Yang Dongxu is not only beneficial to the Bai family, but also the big things in Bai Xi's hands will belong to the Bai family in the future. Even if Bai Xi's father can't take power now, they will belong to Bai An in the future, or to Bai An's son.

But now Bai Xi is pregnant. Whether it is a boy or a girl, a mother will definitely want to leave something for her child. More importantly, her child will have the right to inherit the assets in Bai Xi's hands in the future, which is equivalent to directly taking the life of the Bai family, which makes the Bai family have to guard against it.

Therefore, in the face of the matter between Bai Xi and Yang Dongxu before, the Bai family was selfish, or they were afraid of Yang Dongxu and ignored the matter and pretended not to know. Some even flattered Yang Dongxu to get some benefits.

But now, regarding Bai Xi's pregnancy, the Bai family's thoughts are surprisingly consistent. They know that it is impossible for Bai Xi to have an abortion. Therefore, before the child is born, it is best to clearly divide the assets.

"I have never thought of occupying these assets from the beginning to the end. I just feel that if the Bai family continues to be ruined, it will be a shame to my deceased grandfather." Bai Xi bit her red lips tightly and couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes.

Yang Dongxu held her in his arms, patted her back gently and comforted her: "Don't take it too seriously. In fact, from the perspective of your father and brother, it's right to make it clear now.

Since we didn't plan to take these assets from the beginning, let's take this opportunity to give them all to them. As for whether the Bai family will revive or decline.

As long as you are here, they will have a bottom line no matter how declining they are. After the child is born, whether it is a boy or a girl, they will take your surname. If you still can't get over the hurdle that grandpa told you before he died.

Then use your majesty as the eldest sister to cultivate Bai'an's child with all your strength. If Bai'an's child is capable of reviving the Bai family, I will help. If there is no hope at all, our children can do it anyway, so you can cultivate another bloodline for the Bai family."

"I understand all these principles, but after knowing that I was pregnant, whether it was my father, my second uncle, and my aunt." Bai Xi couldn't help choking up when she said this. The strong Queen of Bai may only allow herself to be vulnerable for a moment when she is pregnant.

"Don't think so much, and don't think about these things all the time in the future. If you like work, think more about the company. In your spare time, think more about our children and read some parenting knowledge. I will deal with the rest." Yang Dongxu sighed.

To be honest, he was also angry when he saw Baijia treating Baiqian so coldly and violently, but he couldn't vent this anger on Baijia. No matter how Baijia treated Baiqian, the other party didn't do anything excessive after all.

Moreover, Baijia's excellent daughter followed him as a mistress and spoiled the child. Baijia just wanted to take back what originally belonged to Baijia, and he really couldn't fight back.

The car stopped in the parking lot next to Chang'an Street. When we walked to Tan's private restaurant, there were no other guests here today. Generally, such private restaurants have their own rules, and there are many of them, and it is not allowed to be booked like this.

But although Baijia has declined, its assets have not decreased after all. On the contrary, the assets managed by Baiqian have increased in recent years. Although his political career is not good, the face and connections of the older generation are still there.

Bai Dashao wanted to book a private restaurant for dinner, but no private restaurant dared to make trouble. After all, Bai Dashao booked the place for dinner, and he paid you a penny. If you don't agree, it's not just a matter of not giving face, nor is it a matter of Bai Dashao bullying others.

Bai An didn't invite anyone else to dinner today, just him and his wife Su Jingrou. It looked a bit like the brother-in-law's family invited the brother-in-law to dinner, and it looked like it was the same.

"Sister, I feel that you are beautiful again, and your skin is so good. What skin care products do you use?" After a simple greeting at the door and entering the private room, Su Jingrou pulled Bai Xi to talk about women.

"Maybe I slept better during this period, so my complexion looks better. Now that I'm pregnant, I don't dare to use those cosmetics." Bai Xi replied.

"Then it must be a son. The old people often say that if a woman becomes ugly during pregnancy, it may be a daughter who is bad. Because the mother wants to share some of her beauty with her daughter. If she becomes beautiful during pregnancy, it is a son. It doesn't matter if the son is ugly."

"Is it really like that?" Bai Xi's eyes lit up, obviously attracted by Su Jingrou's statement that she didn't know where she came from.

Bai Xi didn't really care about others praising her beauty, because she had long been numb to these compliments. But when a pregnant woman heard questions about the gender of her child, even the wise Queen Bai's IQ was plummeting.

Although she didn't favor boys over girls, Bai Xi actually wanted to have a son in her heart, especially after Yang Dongxu was willing to let his son take her surname.

The biggest failure of her life was being a girl, otherwise the current Bai family would not be like this even if the grandfather passed away.

"What the old people said was quite accurate. I became ugly during my pregnancy. My mother said that it was probably a daughter, which made Bai An a little unhappy." Su Jingrou complained with a pout.

"I'm not unhappy. I like both sons and daughters. It's your mother who keeps saying that it would be nice to have a son." The always heartless Mr. Bai did change his personality a lot after getting married and learning that his wife was pregnant. For example, he didn't have such a strong desire to survive now.

In the past, Mr. Bai always looked down on such questions. If you annoy him, he will just ignore you and go out to have fun. He doesn't have such a strong desire to survive.

"Come on, go out with me to smoke a cigarette." The dishes were already prepared, after all, there was only one table of guests today.

But now everyone is undoubtedly not interested in eating.

Yang Dongxu's words instantly solidified the atmosphere in the private room that had become relaxed because of talking about children. Although Su Jingrou kept a smile on her face, her expression was obviously a little stiff, and she kept winking at her husband.

The more she knew about the man in front of her, the more she was afraid of him. Let alone the current Bai family, the man in front of her could discuss economics with the big guys in power now. He is not on the same level as the second generation.

Although Bai An has been more honest recently, the improper things she did before are still fresh in her mind. She is afraid that her husband will get angry and offend this person.

"Then go out and smoke a cigarette." Bai An stood up and gave him a reassuring look.

In fact, if he knew how worried he was at this moment, he would definitely complain. Because it was not only his wife Su Jingrou who was afraid of Yang Dongxu, but also Bai An, his brother-in-law, was afraid, okay?

Although he was afraid, some things still had to be made clear today, so even though he was a little trembling in his heart, Bai An still stood up.

Yang Dongxu gave Bai Qian, who was looking at him and constantly signaling with his hands, a reassuring look, and then turned and left the house.

Bai An followed from behind.
