Chapter 231 Xiaoze, what's your classmate's family background?
Gradually.
The noisy dormitory WeChat group fell into a deathly silence.
Su Ze stopped shouting.
Gu Dapeng stopped roaring.
Lin Le has stopped spamming the screen.
Because, in The Voice of China, Hua Shao's figure has already retreated to the side.
The stage lights changed from extremely bright to a tranquil deep blue.
Under that holy spotlight, Jiang Baizhi appeared before the national audience.
She wore a cream-colored Peter Pan collar shirt with a retro plaid suspender skirt over it, and her long hair was neatly tied into a princess-style half-updo.
Her face was so fair and white it seemed to have a built-in skin-smoothing filter, and she exuded a pure and noble aura that was the epitome of first love.
.......
Shanghai, Su Family Villa.
Su Ze was completely stunned, not even noticing the potato chips falling onto his clothes. He pointed at the screen, his voice trembling:
"Dad, second sister, third sister, fourth sister... Look! This is Jiang Baizhi!"
"This is my brother-in-law's younger sister!"
"Look, isn't she so beautiful she doesn't seem like a carbon-based life form?"
This time, Mr. Su didn't say anything. He squinted and stared intently at the close-up on the TV.
But he wasn't looking at the face.
Instead, it was the double-layered pearl necklace around Jiang Baizhi's neck that radiated a soft luster.
Having spent over a decade navigating the business world, he could immediately recognize the extraordinary nature of this string of pearls.
This is definitely not your average street vendor item!
"hiss--"
Mr. Su gasped, his tone becoming extremely serious:
"Xiaoze, what exactly is your classmate's family background?"
Su Ze was stunned:
"Background? There's not much of a background."
"Jiang Bai usually wears clothes from street stalls and can't even afford a decent pair of brand-name sneakers. He eats Gu Dapeng's pickled vegetables every day at school. He's practically penniless."
"A poor person?"
Mr. Su hesitated, his expression complex as he pointed to the necklace on the screen:
"Look at that string of pearls! Every single one is over 12mm in size, and they're almost all exactly the same!"
"Both its roundness and its gloss are superb!"
"Most importantly, the pearl has a white hue with a faint pinkish-gold tint..."
"Pearls of this quality, strung together in such neat rows, would cost at least seven figures!"
The second sister, who had been lounging lazily on the sofa, widened her eyes in surprise upon hearing this:
"Seven figures? Old Su, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
She was a jewelry fanatic, so she immediately got up and ran back to her bedroom on the second floor. A moment later, she rushed downstairs carrying an exquisite velvet box.
"This is the string of top-quality Australian white jadeite bracelets that you bought for me at an auction last year for my birthday, spending 500,000 yuan."
The second sister held her necklace up to the TV screen, and her face instantly fell.
Her necklace, worth 500,000 yuan, looked rather dull and drab compared to the necklace Jiang Baizhi wore on TV, like something from a street stall in Yiwu's small commodity wholesale market.
"Old Su...why has my pearl changed color?"
The second sister was on the verge of tears.
Mr. Su sighed:
"It's not that your pearl has changed color, it's that other people's pearls are just too good."
"That's top-tier auction-quality condition. The Jiang family... is unfathomable!"
Su Ze was completely stunned after hearing this.
"What the hell? Top-tier auction quality? It even surpasses my second sister's 500,000 yuan pearl necklace?"
Suddenly, a feeling of being deceived welled up inside me.
"Damn it... Jiang Bai, you liar!"
Su Ze roared inwardly:
"You let your sister go to a talent show wearing a necklace worth millions, while you yourself are pretending to be a poor college student?"
"You even cheated me out of a five-yuan sausage last time! And you said your family was so poor they could only afford to eat dirt!"
"Damn it!"
.......
Just as the Su family was caught up in class shock over a pearl necklace of top-quality auction items.
The atmosphere on the black soil, thousands of miles away, is exceptionally simple and unpretentious.
Family-oriented.
On the television screen, Jiang Baizhi lowered her head slightly, exuding a sanctity that could purify the soul.
Gu Dapeng slapped his thigh in excitement, making the teacups on the kang table vibrate.
"Dad! See! I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Gu Dapeng pointed at the screen, his tone filled with the pride of someone who said, "I've never had such good taste in my entire life."
"Look at that face, that figure."
"I'm asking you, she's way better than that Cuihua from the next village!"
Old Man Gu put down his pipe, squinted, and stared at the television screen again and again.
He was still thinking about Lin Huahua, the pride of the Lin district who had just won the Best Actress award at Cannes.
But after his gaze lingered on Jiang Baizhi's face for three seconds, Old Man Gu silently swallowed back the words he had originally intended to say in rebuttal.
"Hiss...this girl."
Old Man Gu took two puffs from his now-extinguished pipe and nodded, a rare occurrence for him:
"That's really exciting."
"She has a clean-cut appearance, unlike those internet celebrities who have had plastic surgery and look like cones. She looks well-behaved, like a good kid who can live a stable life."
"That's right!"
Gu Dapeng was practically strutting around with his tail between his legs.
"How could my brother-in-law's sister have bad genes?"
Old Man Gu glanced at it again and sighed:
"It's this name that sounds a bit too literary, Jiang Baizhi? It sounds nice, but it's not as catchy as our Cuihua's name."
"But Dapeng, even though we're just saying, this girl looks very elegant. If you want to marry someone else, I'm afraid you're not good enough for her."
Gu Dapeng's face immediately fell:
"Father, you don't need to worry about that."
"As long as I take good care of my brother-in-law, I'll definitely be good enough for him!!"
The big yellow dog, who was squatting on the ground licking its paws, seemed to understand its owner's words. It looked up at Jiang Baizhi on the TV and let out a deep whimper.
It's as if it's saying, "Yes, yes, you deserve it!"
Gu Dapeng rubbed Dahuang's head: "Hehe, Dahuang, you have excellent taste!"
"Dahuang is saying he's good enough, not that you are."
Old Man Gu, who was standing to the side, looked at Big Yellow and told him the truth.
After a pause, Old Man Gu blurted out another sentence:
"That girl's outfit, it must be expensive, right?"
"Look at the embroidery on the collar, it's exactly the same as what those old overseas Chinese wore when I saw them at the Grand Hotel in the provincial capital back then."
"The cut and the sheen of the fabric... it doesn't look cheap."
Gu Dapeng, oblivious to the unspoken meaning in his father's words, chuckled foolishly.
"That's right, our brother-in-law is incredibly good to his sister!"
.......
at the same time.
The atmosphere in Lin Le's living room was eerie in a different dimension.
Jiang Baizhi had already taken the stage on television, and magnificent orchestral music resounded from the speakers.
On the sofa, Lin Le sat upright, holding his phone in his hand, his joy almost overflowing.
Bai Zhi, you look absolutely stunning in this outfit! You're simply perfect for him!
But his own parents were tapping the screen so hard their fingers were practically sparking, the battle was extremely fierce.
"Old Lin! Use your ultimate! Use your ultimate! The enemy monkey is jumping over!"
Lin's mother let out a loud, clear scream.
"Don't rush me! I've put a lot of thought into the details!"
"Look at my legendary sword, the Blade of Despair... Oops, why isn't this support protecting me?"
Mr. Lin was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet.
Lin Le, unable to bear it any longer, turned around and shouted:
"Dad, Mom! Can you watch TV for a moment, please?"
"This is my roommate's younger sister! Isn't she beautiful?!"
Amidst his busy schedule, Mr. Lin looked up and glanced at Jiang Baizhi's face—a face capable of captivating countless men—for a mere 0.1 seconds before giving a perfunctory nod.
"Beautiful, beautiful, this girl is truly stunning."
Lin's mother then added:
"Hmm, your skin is really fair, only slightly less so than when I was younger."
"Alright, Lele, stop blocking the light, Mom's about to get a five-kill streak!"
After saying that, the couple lowered their heads again and threw themselves back into the battle in Summoner's Rift.
Lin Le: "......."
How awful! Please give your future daughter-in-law some attention!
