Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 353 Ning Xuan is a member of our Bai family
Yu Mingche hosted this family banquet, with Jiuwei and her people in charge of preparing the food. Most of the others prepared performances. At the banquet, Ning Xuan explicitly told the others that Yu Mingche had the right to manage the household affairs on her behalf.

This announcement clearly established Yu Mingche's status as the official husband, and Ying Yaoshi, who participated in the family banquet via video link, did not raise any objections.

After the family dinner, Lin Mo was the first to leave and return to the Second Legion headquarters. Chen Nan went back to the Chen family to visit relatives, Di Youlin went back to the Di family to visit relatives, and Yu Mingche was busy with official duties and rarely came home during the day. So only Lan Xin and Yun Han were left at home to accompany Ning Xuan.

That day, Lan Xin and Yun Han accompanied Ning Xuan shopping at the Federal Building. All three dressed very casually, and Lan Xin and Yun Han even wore veils to avoid attracting too much attention due to their striking appearances. At noon, the three chose a restaurant to have lunch.

"Bai Xiuying, Miss Bai, your Bai family is now at most a second-rate family. What are you doing putting on airs like a noble lady? If you're so capable, your fiancé was still snatched away by someone else when you were engaged!" A loud female voice shouted.

"Nonsense, I didn't!" Bai Xiuying retorted angrily, but her rebuttal had no force and only drew more ridicule from the crowd.

"Still being stubborn. Chen Nan, the young master of the Chen family, was originally your fiancé. How come you haven't married him yet? I heard that Chen Nan was the first contractor of Miss Ning Xuan, who obtained the title of Alchemy Master?"

"Chen Hao, you tell everyone, am I right?" A young woman who had been taunting Bai Xiuying grabbed a timid, handsome man and asked.

“Yes, the contract master is right. My cousin Chen Nan is Miss Ning’s contractor. For my cousin’s sake, Miss Ning Xuan even gave the family head the improved formula for the body-refining potion. Our Chen family’s business is growing bigger and bigger now, all thanks to Miss Ning Xuan’s kindness.” The man named Chen Hao answered quickly and calmly.

"Chen Hao, I heard your cousin is visiting relatives at home recently. Why don't you invite him to come out and have some fun?" another young lady suggested.

"No, my cousin won't come out," Chen Hao quickly shook his head and refused.

“Miss Cao, your contractor is a bit unreasonable. How could he refuse without even trying? Does he look down on me?” the young lady who spoke first said unhappily.

With a "smack," Chen Hao was slapped on the back of the head by Cao Yulan. "Quickly call your cousin and tell him you've had too much to drink, and have him come pick you up. If you don't call your cousin today, see how I deal with you!" Cao Yulan scolded Chen Hao angrily, her eyebrows raised.

The young lady who just spoke is named Jin Shanshan. She is a young lady from the Jin family, a first-class noble family. Her family is much more powerful than the Cao family. Cao Yulan had finally managed to get in touch with Jin Shanshan and was hoping to make some profits from the Jin family's business network. How could she dare to offend her?
"Great! When Chen Nan arrives, let's see if we can try to reunite him and Bai Xiuying, this engaged couple, and let them rekindle their romance. What do you think of this idea?" Jin Shanshan clapped her hands and laughed.

While Chen Hao was still hesitating, Cao Yulan, in full view of everyone, pulled out a whip from her waist and lashed him hard.

Chen Hao screamed in pain as he was beaten. Another woman next to Bai Xiuying couldn't help but jump out and say, "Stop! Cao Yulan, Chen Hao is a member of the Chen family after all. To be abused like this in public like this, aren't you slapping the Chen family in the face? Aren't you afraid that the Chen family will cause you trouble?"

Reminded by this, Cao Yulan hesitated and stopped. "What's there to be afraid of? As a contractor, daring to disobey the master is a serious offense. How is Miss Cao disciplining her contractor a slap in the face to the Chen family? Miss Bai, you're exaggerating." Jin Shanshan, who was watching the show with great interest, retorted to Miss Bai with dissatisfaction.

Upon hearing this, Cao Yulan realized that Jin Shanshan was right. She was only disciplining her contractors; what did it have to do with anyone else? What did it have to do with the Chen family?
Cao Yulan leaned down and whispered a few words in Chen Hao's ear. After hearing these words, Chen Hao couldn't help but tremble. He bit his lip and, under Cao Yulan's coercion, sent a voice call to Chen Nan.

The call was quickly connected. As Cao Yulan had instructed, Chen Hao said to Chen Nan, "Brother, I'm at Qianjin Restaurant in the Federal Building. I've had too much to drink. Can you come pick me up?"

Chen Nan hesitated when he heard Chen Hao's request, but he couldn't resist Chen Hao's repeated requests and finally agreed.

Upon hearing Chen Nan say he would arrive shortly, Bai Xiuying's expression changed drastically. She tried to slip away quickly, but Jin Shanshan blocked her way.

“Bai Xiuying, Chen Nan is a very good spirit controller. He should be a good match for you. You two were originally in a pre-marital contract relationship. Today, we will help you and let you rekindle your relationship. Why are you running away from such a good thing?” Jin Shanshan looked at Bai Xiuying with a playful expression.

Bai Xiuying looked like she was about to cry. She had met Ning Xuan before and knew that Ning Xuan was not someone to be trifled with. These people were clearly trying to make fun of her. Bai Xiuying's terrified expression amused Jin Shanshan.

Jin Shanshan and the others laughed heartily, attracting frequent glances from others.

"Second sister, don't stoop to their level. Cao Yulan, Jin Shanshan, let me tell you, Ning Xuan has the blood of the Bai family flowing in her veins. If you continue to bully the Bai family like this, be careful that Ning Xuan returns to the Bai family and settles scores with you." Miss Bai shouted angrily at Cao Yulan.

Cao Yulan looked at Jin Shanshan with some suspicion. Ning Xuan's reputation was well-known. Although she was just an orphan, her contractors were all very powerful. The Cao family could not afford to offend her.

"What did you say? Ning Xuan has your Bai family blood in her veins? I heard that Ning Xuan was the one who caused Bai Ruilan's accident?" Jin Shanshan looked at Miss Bai with disdain.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiuzhu's face turned flustered. She had heard about this before, but she refused to believe it.

"Who are you listening to? My grandmother's accident happened because she was old and got angry. What does it have to do with Ning Xuan? Ning Xuan is my seventh uncle Bai Xiuwen's daughter. She was originally a member of the Bai family. How could she possibly lay a hand on my grandmother?" Bai Xiuzhu raised her head and refuted with conviction.

Bai Xiuzhu's confident attitude silenced everyone else. If Ning Xuan really had a connection with the Bai family, they wouldn't dare to participate in this farce orchestrated by Jin Shanshan.
