Chapter 403 Old Fox (1)
"Go ahead! I want to meet them, too." Ji Xiaomu raised her lips, and Bai Yichen nodded, "If anything happens later, just confront them directly without giving them face."
"They are all old foxes. You may be cheated by them if you are not careful." Bai Yichen reminded.
"I understand." Ji Xiaowu nodded. Seeing that she was ready, Bai Yichen let her sit in the main seat.
"Come here, invite them in." Bai Yichen called, and the butler immediately stepped forward. "Yes, Mr. Bai."
"This is Li Zhi. I give him to you. He is a good housekeeper and loyal. He has a strong temper and will never change once he recognizes his master." Bai Yichen introduced him to Ji Xiaomu, "You can keep him. It's okay for you to get rid of the other servants if you want."
"How can you be so sure of his loyalty?" Ji Xiaomu asked curiously, but a person's loyalty could not be written on his face.
"How should I put it?" Bai Yichen said with a smile, "You will understand after you have been in contact for a long time. It is hard to describe in one word."
"Okay." Ji Xiaomu could see that Bai Yichen's expression was a little complicated. It was not an important matter, so she didn't ask for the time being. She would naturally know it after more contact in the future.
"Madam, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Hu, and Mr. Ling are here." Li Zhi's voice came from outside the hall.
"Please come in." Ji Xiaomu put away her smile and said lightly.
Mother Ji looked towards the hall door, and saw three old men walking slowly towards her. She was looking at them, and they were also looking at her. When they looked at each other, they secretly gave each other scores in their hearts.
"Old man, nice to meet the madam." Old Zhang bowed perfunctorily to Ji Xiaomu. He just glanced at Ji Xiaomu and didn't take her seriously at all. After the greeting, he walked straight to his seat and sat down.
"Hello, Madam Ji." Mr. Hu and Mr. Ling nodded and bowed respectfully.
"Please take a seat, elders." Mother Ji nodded to the two elders and asked them to sit down.
Only then did Mr. Hu and Mr. Ling walk over to the chairs and sit down at the guest seats.
"Are you the person in charge of food as the Bai family said?" Old Zhang said directly to Ji Xiaomu.
"How dare you! How can you be so rude in front of the madam?" Fang Chen frowned and waved his hand at Mr. Zhang. A dagger on the chair where Mr. Zhang was sitting was embedded in the armrest, which scared Mr. Zhang so much that he trembled.
"I'm talking to my wife, when is it your turn to speak?" Old Zhang's face turned red, and it was unclear whether he was angry or scared by the dagger.
"He is my personal bodyguard, and his status is second only to me. Mr. Zhang, do you... look down on a weak woman like me? Do you want to intimidate me?" Aunt Ji sat in the main seat, took a sip of water lazily, and spoke for Fang Chen.
"Madam, what are you talking about? The Bai family just said that you have food, so we have to see the food, right? How do we know if you really have food?" Old Zhang said with a smile.
"Since you don't believe it, then there's no need to waste everyone's time. Come on, show him out." Mother Ji would not tolerate this man's bad temper. If you don't believe it, why are you coming here? It's a waste of time.
"Madam, it's just a misunderstanding. We don't mean that! We sincerely want to cooperate with you." Ji Xiao's words of sending the guests away scared Mr. Hu and Mr. Ling who had been watching from the sidelines. They quickly made their attitude clear. They were very sincere in wanting to cooperate.
"Do you really believe that a little girl like this can have food?" Old Zhang looked at Ji Xiaou suspiciously. How could she, a woman, be in charge of such a huge amount of food? It must be fake.
"If you don't believe me, you can leave." Ji Xiaowu said calmly, "This time you also asked the Bai family to see me. Did I force you to come? You are all adults. Don't think you can take advantage of me just because you are old. You are not three-year-old children. You are here to seek cooperation."
