Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1388: Chapter 1262 When Tolerance is Exhausted_2

When he spoke, the surrounding guests naturally took notice.

Many eyes turned in their direction, falling on Bai Xiaosheng, as he was clearly the lead among the trio.

”Who’s that? Looks unfamiliar.”

”No idea. But since Mr. Xueyuan took the initiative to greet him, he must not be an ordinary person.”

”Which family could he be from? Who knows?”

The guests whispered among themselves, increasingly curious as more gazes shifted over.

”Mr. Qiaosi—no, I should call you Mr. Wei Xueyuan, or perhaps Cousin?” Bai Xiaosheng chuckled. ”I truly didn’t expect we were family! If I’ve offended you before, I offer my apologies sincerely. Please forgive any oversteps on my part!”

Bai Xiaosheng rarely conceded ground, especially when he wasn’t in the wrong. This display of humility toward Wei Xueyuan was as ”submissive” as he could be to lower his stance.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying remained silent, understanding that Bai Xiaosheng endured this humiliation only because of his love for Wei Xuelian. They hoped Wei Xuelian’s cousin wouldn’t take things too far.

”Oh? I can’t bear to be called your cousin, so don’t bother. Besides, are you apologizing to me? What could you possibly have done wrong? Surely it’s my fault for even engaging with you!” Wei Xueyuan’s tone was harsh, his smile laced with mockery.

Bai Xiaosheng stepped closer, maintaining his amicable smile. Yielding to Wei Xueyuan’s demand, he refrained from calling him ”cousin” but instead implored earnestly, ”If my actions before made Mr. Xueyuan uncomfortable, I personally apologize. Please be magnanimous and forgive me!”

Bai Xiaosheng humbled himself repeatedly, striving for reconciliation.

This submissive display seemed to bring Wei Xueyuan some satisfaction.

However, his attitude only worsened, his face openly brimming with cold disdain and derision:

So, you weren’t acting arrogant before, constantly undermining me? Now, it’s your turn!

Wei Xuexuan coldly eyed Bai Xiaosheng, his gaze clearly filled with disdain.

Look at that pathetic, groveling face!

Someone like this wants to marry into the Wei Family?

And not just anyone in the Wei Family—but Wei Xuelian, who’s been earmarked as the next family head!

Do you think you’re worthy?

This sentiment was crystal clear in Wei Xuexuan’s eyes.

”Mr. Xuexuan.” Bai Xiaosheng greeted Wei Xuexuan with a smile, catching the meaning in his eyes immediately.

Nonetheless, Bai Xiaosheng remained impassive and stayed composed.

In response to Bai Xiaosheng’s greeting, Wei Xuexuan let out a cold snort, serving as his only acknowledgment.

That attitude reeked of utter contempt.

Numerous onlookers observed the unfolding scene, murmuring quietly.

”Something doesn’t feel quite right here. From the looks of it, this newcomer clearly isn’t welcomed by Wei Xueyuan or Wei Xuexuan!”

”Exactly! The way they’re treating him—he’s obviously being humiliated publicly!”

”Who in the world is he? I’ve visited the Wei Family countless times, and I’ve never seen anyone treated like this regardless of their family background. Usually, everyone is shown respect!”

”Tch, regardless of the situation, the Wei Family must have a good reason for this. Otherwise, why would that man continue to bow his head and act so subservient? Tch, if it were me, I’d be too ashamed to stay a minute longer!”

The crowd whispered and clicked their tongues in amazement and speculation.

The younger members of the Wei Family also began whispering and casting curious glances at Bai Xiaosheng.

Among them were quite a few perceptive individuals.

One of them recognized him as someone Wang at the entrance had led in and immediately sought an explanation.

”Ah, so this is *him*!”

”Who?”

”Tch! How slow can you be? He’s *that guy*, the one Sister Xuelian likes!”

”Oh, so it’s him!”

”He looks so spineless, letting Xueyuan scold him like this!”

”And someone like this dares to show up at the Wei Family’s door?”

Even members of the Wei Family couldn’t hold back their disdainful remarks.

Both Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying overheard these comments and frowned unconsciously.

Bai Xiaosheng undoubtedly heard them as well, but his expression remained unchanged. He merely endured it all.

”Impressive self-control!” William silently noted to himself.

Wei Xueyuan, holding his wine glass, grinned and said, ”You came to our Wei Family for Xuelian, didn’t you?”

Bai Xiaosheng nodded.

”So, do you think you’re worthy of my cousin? Do you know she’s considered a pivotal figure in our family, someone being meticulously groomed, possibly even the future family head? And you? You come from an insignificant family in Huaxia, with no lineage, no background, and you think you can express your so-called love for her? Let me tell you something—your presence here today makes me realize how immature and willful Xuelian is, completely unworthy of the family’s grooming! She’s been reckless! Completely out of control!” Wei Xueyuan raised his voice, laughing derisively as he finished.

Bai Xiaosheng froze in place for a moment, utterly shocked by Wei Xueyuan’s public remarks.

He had never imagined Wei Xueyuan would say such things in front of everyone.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were equally stunned.

The crowd erupted into an uproar.

”What?! He came for Miss Wei Xuelian?!”

”And he’s here to profess his feelings?!”

”With no status or background at all?!”

”This man... is he out of his mind?!”

The surrounding guests buzzed with astonishment and disbelief.

Someone suddenly raised their voice, ”Isn’t this the classic example of a toad lusting after a swan?”

Immediately, laughter broke out among the crowd.

Many began looking at Bai Xiaosheng with a mixture of ridicule and pity, as if they were watching an ignorant fool or a clown performing on stage.

Over the years, there had been no shortage of admirers flocking to court Wei Xuelian; it wasn’t unheard of.

However, those suitors came from families with influence, wealth, or prestige!

And this man? A mere commoner from a simple family, dreaming of rising to greatness in one leap?
