Manbao looked puzzled, Bai Erlang couldn't wait for Bai Shan to create a mysterious atmosphere any longer and directly told Manbao excitedly, "Our aunt said that it's not good for our two families to become too estranged from the main family, but the main family's way of shifting with the wind makes people unhappy. My family can tolerate it since we've already branched out and are far away, so we don't hold onto old feelings much. Business is business, and we communicate with them accordingly."
"But Bai Shan can't," Bai Erlang glanced at Bai Shan, "Their branch's family records are still in the hands of the main family. If the relationship becomes too tense, it would harm Bai Shan's reputation. Hence, it's better for our aunt to put on a stern face and for Fourth Brother Zhou to mediate, allowing us to vent some anger without feeling too uncomfortable."
Manbao blinked blankly and said, "Pretend, huh. But what can we gain from them?"
