High School Belle Fell in Love with Me-Chapter 302 - 162: Let’s See If Our Families Still Have a Chance to Become In-Laws (Double-Length for Monthly Votes)
Just that section represents a strong foundation already.
There are quite a few Bai Family members, and their two sons had children early. During that time, family planning was not strict, and they ended up with four grandsons and three granddaughters.
In recent years, the grandsons have begun to get married one after another, each considering procreation as the most important thing.
After all, those in the grandson generation are indeed not very capable; apart from having children, they are almost useless to the family.
Reaching the great-grandson generation, Bai Jingxuan hopes to cultivate a few good talents, the only problem is that he is old and lacks time.
The decline of Bai Family is almost a foregone conclusion.
Bai Chong said, "Dad, Zhao Tianlin hasn’t married yet..."
Bai Jingxuan sighed and said, "Let’s go and have a look."
He really never cared what Bai Qing looked like, even with his son Bai Qingyang, he mostly regarded him as a bargaining chip; at best, he’d slightly reminisce during midnight when he noticed his other two sons and those grandchildren accomplishing nothing.
That’s all there is to it.
Even knowing that Bai Qingyang was dead, he dared not act but decided to address it at retirement.
Ten minutes later, Bai Jingxuan saw Bai Qing.
With just one glance, he knew that this son Bai Qingyang had left him a treasure.
...
Xiangnu felt strange; Li Yang actually wanted to invite her for a meal?
The sun must be rising from the west!
That guy, whenever they met, didn’t he always try to make her spend money? Finding excuses on WeChat for no matter what the occasion, he could always find a reason for her to send him a red envelope.
Coincidentally, those excuses sounded quite reasonable.
Last month on Arbor Day, a holiday completely unrelated, Li Yang claimed he went out to plant trees, and rambled about how a tree he planted would bring hope to all humanity, hoping the sisters would reward him, saying he’d contribute more to the world in the future.
Also, he’d already begun warming up for Labor Day a few days ago, claiming how labor is the most glorious and calling for celebration for all laborers.
The important thing about today’s meal is that it’s not far from her place.
Once she arrived at the location, she glanced around and was ready to turn around and leave.
Because she saw that the restaurant was not far from across Songbai Garden, and Li Yang was sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window, perfectly positioned to see Songbai Garden.
Combining the photo he sent her early in the morning, her instincts told her this meal was not absolutely necessary.
However, Li Yang saw her coming over and immediately ran out to shout, "Xiangzhi, you’ve come all the way, why turn around? Turning back isn’t lucky for meals."
Xiangnu: "..."
Seeing you is what’s not lucky! And today, he even changed how he addressed her, clearly making known it’s no good.
She smiled and said, "I just remembered I forgot something, wait here for a moment, I’ll grab it and come right back."
Li Yang waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, since you’re not willing to eat, I’ve nothing more to say. By the way, as Jiang Banxia’s agent, I formally notify Wanliu Capital that Ms. Jiang Banxia’s collaboration with Wanliu Capital will end here..."
Xiangnu glared at Li Yang; she was merely finding an excuse and this guy shamelessly escalated things.
She knew that this guy was typically ruthless, and Jiang Banxia truly listened to him.
"Sigh, I just thought for a moment, it’s not that important, far inferior to having a meal with you."
"Hahaha, I knew it, you’re not the careless type. Today’s meal is all good, order whatever you like..."
Xiangnu said with some irritation, "A ramen shop, how wild can I order?"
"Well, there’s nothing else around here, just this shop."
"Who says that? I know a private restaurant, the location isn’t known to most people, but I’m familiar with them and no reservations are needed. Want me to take you for a taste? They’re royal chefs, you know..."
"You’re treating?" Li Yang asked tentatively.
Xiangnu: "..."
Forget it, ramen it is; getting a free meal off this guy is good enough.
She genuinely didn’t understand why Li Yang was so tight-fisted, appearing stingy despite having untold amounts of money in his hands.
This guy is very peculiar.
Li Yang really fulfilled his promise; whatever Xiangnu ordered at the restaurant, even if one ramen meal costs five hundred and eighty, it didn’t even make him frown.
The main thing was that the location provided a direct view of Songbai Garden’s gate.
When Bai Qing went to meet Bai Chong, he was following closely, not out of concern for being cuckolded, but simply feeling that Bai Qing was somewhat naive.
Bai Qing had no guile, typically exposing her nature upon contact, easily revealing secrets with just a bit of probing.
Unlike Jiang Banxia, who is very sly.
Slyness is good; sly means not being bullied.
"Let me ask you this, is Songbai Garden really just this one gate?"
Li Yang hadn’t started eating yet when he asked.
"Pretty much."
Xiangnu absentmindedly replied.
"What does ’pretty much’ mean?"
"The Bai Family used to be quite large, later sold off more than half, leaving only this small part. The previous back gate is now blocked by a wall, unrelated to their home."
"Tsk tsk, Bai Jingxuan’s home has someone daring enough to want it?"
"What’s up with Bai Jingxuan? Bai Jingxuan has people he can’t provoke in the Capital City. By the way, the other half belongs to the Xiumu Family; should I call Xiumu out? She loves ramen, unlike me..."
"Hahaha..."
Li Yang definitely wouldn’t let anyone leave.
What’s the use of the Xiumu Family? Xiumu isn’t like Xiangnu.
Xiangnu is positioned highly in the Zhao Family now, while Xiumu has fallen out with her family, completely useless.
