Chapter 300: Chapter 162: Let’s See If Our Two Families Still Have a Chance to Become In-Laws (Double Chapter)

Bai Qing woke up to find that Li Yang had already left.

Thinking about last night, she still couldn’t help but chuckle.

She quite liked Li Yang’s habit of always coming up with clumsy excuses, it made things less awkward for everyone.

After washing up, she packed away the caretaker’s outfit and made a phone call.

Half an hour later, she met with a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties at a teahouse.

The man warmly said, "Qingqing, just call me Second Uncle."

But Bai Qing calmly replied, "No need, we’re just discussing business. I want to place my parents’ memorial tablet in the Bai Family ancestral hall, you can put forward your conditions."

Bai Chong looked a bit embarrassed.

Initially, the Bai Family wasn’t very interested in Bai Qing, after all, she wasn’t of much help to the family at present.

But upon meeting her today, Bai Chong had a change of heart.

Bai Qing was exceptionally beautiful... among the third generation of women in the Bai Family, none looked so stunning.

Beauty, as long as it’s dazzling enough, can also be used as a weapon.

He planned to get closer to Bai Qing; there’s a high chance she wants to return to the Bai Family. If only she could form a marriage alliance for the Bai Family, he could definitely persuade the old patriarch.

Unfortunately, Bai Qing was incredibly aloof, showing no interest in forming connections.

He could only say, "Qingqing, although the threshold for the Bai Family’s ancestral hall isn’t high, it’s quite troublesome. Since you’re here, why not visit the family home? After all, my words alone don’t count."

Bai Qing replied, "If my parents were still around, you might have to worry about power being divided, but now that they’re gone, it’s just a nominal entry into the ancestral hall. I don’t believe it’s truly that complicated."

Bai Chong hurriedly explained, "The process of entering the ancestral hall must involve a ceremony and invitations to relatives and friends as witnesses. You know this isn’t easily accepted by the old patriarch. His initial intention was to give an opportunity after he retires, but fate intervened and Qingyang couldn’t last a few more years..."

While saying this, Bai Chong’s expression turned sorrowful, seemingly lamenting Bai Qingyang’s untimely death.

Indeed, hardly anyone knew Bai Qingyang was Bai Jingxuan’s illegitimate son, even if someone found out, they wouldn’t personally embarrass Bai Jingxuan over it.

But Bai Qing said, "There’s no need for any ceremony, just write my parents into the family genealogy, place their memorial tablets, and let me pay my respects."

Bai Chong said helplessly, "That’s against the rules!"

"One hundred million!" Bai Qing calmly mentioned this figure.

Bai Chong’s eyebrows twitched, he was very tempted by the amount.

The Bai Family needed money, especially now that regulations were tightening and previous profiteering methods were no longer effective; the family lacked anyone skilled in making money and essentially could only live off their fortune.

No matter the family, problems emerge under the impact of changing times.

In the past, power equated to money, but not anymore.

Those who are adept at making money grow stronger while those who aren’t gradually lose their hold.

The most typical example is the Zhao Family, now they’ve even allowed an ungraduated girl from a specialist degree to take charge, simply because she can bring in money.

However, according to his investigation, Bai Qing shouldn’t have money left.

The Green Water Group isn’t worth anything anymore; even if Bai Qing has tens of millions, it’s like a hen that doesn’t lay eggs—she herself lacks the ability to make money.

When the Green Water Group was profitable before, his family didn’t need money, plus his father promised everything to venture into the Capital City, otherwise, there wouldn’t have been so many helping hands.

The consequence was a mountain of personal debts.

Fortunately, back then Bai Qingyang fell in love with a girl, and upon learning the situation, the girl’s family voluntarily undertook the debt, allowing the old patriarch to venture into the Capital City with peace of mind.

However, the matter ultimately deviated. Bai Qingyang’s side, to appease shareholders, relinquished most of the benefits, while some people wanted not only the achievements brought by the Green Water Group but also the profits brought by it, completely disregarding Bai Qingyang’s family’s survival.

In their words, Bai Qingyang’s family had been sold by Bai Jingxuan, sold for twenty-four years.

Until time expires, Bai Qingyang’s family would continue working for them.

He believed Bai Qing could produce a hundred million, but... compared to a one-time deal, he valued permanent marriage alliances more.

The Bai Family currently lacked money, but what was more crucial was the lack of support.

The second generation had two loafers, the third generation didn’t have many who could really rise, all resting on an old man retiring in a few years; even strong winds couldn’t have much impact.

Bai Chong seriously said, "Qingqing, last night you made a call, and no matter how obscure the request, the family could deliver it to you immediately. You’re aware of the family’s power in the Capital City, you shouldn’t harbor too much resistance toward the family, I think you can definitely try integrating into it."

Bai Qing still showed little expression, "Wasn’t it that dress I spent a million on last night? Previously, you wouldn’t deliver."

Bai Qing had no fondness for the entire Bai Family, and tiny details revealed the Bai Family’s current fragile state.

She simply wanted to fulfill her parents’ wishes; that’s all she could do in this lifetime.

Bai Chong wasn’t at all embarrassed, continuing, "Last night, you suddenly needed such an item, I naturally hesitated, not agreeing immediately was out of cautiousness."

As for the million, he didn’t even mention it.
