288 Clearing Things Up
In such gatherings where people meet their relatives for the first time, there was an order to the seat of each individual.

Although Yun Wei and Bai Xiaojiu were juniors, they were the main characters for the day. Therefore, this was their only chance to be seated next to the old master.

However, Shen Ruojing’s identity and status were awkward. As such, she was originally arranged to sit at the very end of the table.

Now, with a word from the Old Master, she was able to sit next to the Old Master, taking the most distinguished seat for the day!

Of course, Yun Wei wouldn’t mind that. The more courtesy the Bai Family showed her cousin, the more it showed that the Bai family valued her in high regard and gave her face. Moreover, she and Bai Xiaojiu were seated next to Matriarch Bai.

Shen Ruojing then took a look around.

She didn’t care where she sat. However, ever since she was nineteen, she had always taken the leading position no matter where she went. So, she was used to having the leader seat or a seat of higher authority.

Moreover, Chu Cichen was seated there beside her.

As a result, Shen Ruojing’s lips curled. She walked over slowly and sat down between Chu Cichen and Old Master Bai.

Now, the countenance of everyone in the room changed.

By right, the seat next to Old Master Bai should be taken by the eldest son. By getting them to sit there, Master Bai, who was Bai Xiaojiu’s eldest uncle, looked a little grim.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaojiu’s father, the fourth son, immediately said, “Father, this isn’t suitable. Let Eldest Brother sit next to you…”

Old Master Bai frowned.

Third Madam Bai was always one who followed the lead of the first son’s family. So, she immediately said, “That’s right. Father, this isn’t suitable. Although Miss Shen is a guest, the purpose of this gathering is to meet and recognize family members. We’re already giving her face by letting her come.”

After saying that, Third Madam Bai twitched her lips and her contempt toward Shen Ruojing became even more intense. “Some people don’t know any courtesy, taking polite talk seriously…”

Third Madam Bai had just said this when a banging sound rang out. Old Master Bai had slammed his hand on the table angrily.

The reason he had invited Shen Ruojing here today was to host her.

He had already told them in advance to treat the Yun Family’s cousin with more courtesy. He wasn’t expecting them to still treat her so badly! This really infuriated him!
