Second Female Lead, Bai Bing-Er!
Shang Chan walked into the ancestral hall. Zhao Mengmeng smiled gently at Lin Tian and followed behind Shang Chan.
In the ancestral hall, more than twenty people with an average age of over forty were sitting cross-legged solemnly.
Among these people, there were the direct descendants of the Zhao family and the rising stars of the collateral family. The one with the most authority was an old man with white hair and a beard.
The old man was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, holding a yellow dragon-headed crutch, and a pocket watch hanging on his chest. His face was solemn, and his wrinkles hid the years. His eyes were lowered, and he did not have the aura of someone who had been in a high position for a long time.
The old man's name was Zhao Zhong, the grandfather of Shang Chan and Zhao Mengmeng, and the father of the current head of the Zhao Family, Zhao Dongyun.
He was also the only member of the older generation left in the entire Zhao family. One could imagine the power in his hands.
"Grandpa."
After entering the ancestral hall, Shang Chan bowed respectfully.
Zhao Zhong turned around, and a kind smile appeared on his wrinkled face.
"Chan 'Er, you're here. Everyone's waiting for you.”
Shang Chan nodded.
Beside him, three middle-aged men dressed in large robes quietly watched this scene.
The leader was Shang Chan's father, Zhao Dongyun. The other two were Shang Chan's second and third uncles.
Zhao Dongshui, who was ranked third, said calmly.
"Old Master, Xiao Chan doesn't have the surname Zhao. It's fine to enter the Zhao ancestral hall, but isn't it too late to offer incense?”
The second brother, Zhao Dongshan, also raised his eyelids.
"The first incense stick should be given to the Di son of the ancient family. Old Master, this is against the rules."
Zhao Zhong looked at his second and third sons and chuckled.
"Second brother, third brother, how long has it been since the Zhao family's inheritance? In Chan 'Er's generation, other than her, can the two of you find me someone who can offer incense?”
Zhao Dongshan and Zhao Dongshui fell silent.
Before Zhao Zhong completely retired, the three of them were considered the main families.
However, the problem was that Zhao Dongshan and Zhao Dongshui's sons and daughters were not outstanding.
And those relatively outstanding third-generation descendants were nothing compared to Shang Chan, the prodigy of the business world.
They were not worthy.
The two of them were just expressing their dissatisfaction. Zhao Zhong had said that Shang Chan would be the one to perform the incense today. No one else could say anything.
Zhao Dongyun's eyes were lowered, as if he did not hear his two younger brothers at all.
Zhao Zhong wouldn't force his son. After saying that, he waved at the entrance of the ancestral hall. The two retainers carefully closed the door.
"Chan 'Er, burn some incense."
Zhao Zhong's voice rang out faintly. Everyone in the ancestral hall knelt down, their foreheads touching the ground.
Only Shang Chan took three sticks of sandalwood and bowed respectfully.
"Shang Chan, the daughter of the Zhao family, pays her respects to the ancestors of the Zhao family today!”
......
Outside the ancestral hall.
Lin Tian looked at the beautiful scenery around him in boredom.
Even though he was once Zhao Dongyun's confidant, he had never been to the Zhao ancestral hall. In a sense, this was already the core of this mountain range. Those who could come here were not ordinary nobles. At the very least, they had to be representatives of other families of the same level.
However, most people probably wouldn't be in the mood to come to such a solemn place.
He was bored.
Suddenly, a lazy voice came from the side.
"Hey, lend me a light."
Lin Tian turned around.
In front of him was a woman wearing a silk shirt and a pure black skirt.
The woman's black hair was smooth, and her eyes were lazy. A pair of green pendants hung by her ears, and she had red lipstick on. An ice crystal quietly leaned against her exquisite collarbone.
Although red lipstick was the most common lipstick color, there were not many people who could control this style!
If it was too thick and too gorgeous, if one was not careful, it would become synonymous with the word 'courtesy'.
Moreover, the woman in front of him was wearing a white top, a black skirt, jade green earrings, and a transparent necklace. No matter how he looked at it, these colors seemed a little out of place.
However!
The languid look in the woman's eyes, her tall figure, and her casual temperament perfectly controlled all of this!
Lin Tian thought of that poem at first glance.
The people on the streets are like jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world!
Although the woman in front of him was a peerless beauty, there was nothing wrong with saying that to her.
Especially the slim lady's cigarette between the woman's fair fingers, which added an inexplicable charm to her.
Lin Tian only took a few glances before retracting his gaze. It was impolite to stare at others.
The people who could appear in this place were most likely the kind that Lin Tian did not want to provoke.
He smiled and shook his head.
"Sorry, I don't smoke."
After saying that, he turned around and walked to the other side.
Behind him, the woman raised her eyes and looked at Lin Tian curiously.
This was the first time she had run into a wall with someone else.
Usually, if she wanted to borrow a fire, even if she really did not have one, those men would probably rush to help her borrow it from other places.
Of course, this was also her first time doing something like borrowing a fire.
However, it was obvious that this man was distant. For a beauty like her, this was not normal.
That person's eyes were filled with admiration, but there was no blasphemy. He turned around and left, not pretending, but really not wanting to have anything to do with him.
Who was this person?
Was he a retainer of the Zhao family?
If the Zhao family's retainers were all so self-controlled, then she really had to think carefully about whether she should be more careful when targeting the Zhao family.
The woman smiled, threw the cigarette on the ground, and gently crushed it.
She wasn't someone who threw rubbish everywhere, but throwing rubbish in front of the Zhao family's ancestral hall made her feel a special kind of pleasure.
Not long after, a gentle male voice came from the aisle.
"Bing 'er, why are you here?"
The woman looked up and smiled sweetly.
"Father, I'm waiting for Jiang Yifeng. He said he'll be here soon.”
In the distance, Lin Tian's body trembled, and his eyes revealed a trace of light.
Jiang Yifeng?
Bing 'er?
That woman just now was the second female lead of the original book, Bai Bing-er?
