Inheritance of Two Trillion-Chapter 2129 - 1621: Just Pretend I Didn’t Say Anything...
Unexpectedly hearing that there was an event in Ganande’s Chinatown, Bai Xiaosheng asked Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying for their opinions, and the three of them immediately agreed to go take a look.
But when Chinatown was mentioned, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly remembered someone.
The largest family in Ganande’s Chinatown is undoubtedly the Bai Family, but the "Bai" of the Bai Family and Bai Xiaosheng’s "Bai" should have no connection.
There is a Miss of the Bai Family—Bai Yuefeng, who is a friend of both Bai Xiaosheng and Wei Xuelian.
"I haven’t been to the Bai Family before, but when Li Ni delivers that batch of Zisha teapots, I should really give Bai Yuefeng a few pieces to take to her elders," Bai Xiaosheng muttered.
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying also knew about the Bai Yuefeng that Bai Xiaosheng mentioned and her impressive status.
"So when we go this time, in Chinatown, might we run into that Miss of the Bai Family?" Lin Weiwei had heard funny stories of when Bai Xiaosheng, Wei Xuelian, and Bai Yuefeng played in Ganande, which deepened her impression of this Miss of the Bai Family. She thought Bai Yuefeng was quite a lively person and hoped to get to know her better.
"Meet her? What are you thinking?" Lei Ying found Lin Weiwei’s notion amusing. "Even assuming that Miss Bai Yuefeng is around here today and she’s in the area, do you really think Chinatown is just one street? Even if you go there, do you really think you’ll just run into her?"
Lin Weiwei thought for a moment, shrugged, and realized she was being naive.
In the past, perhaps Ganande’s Chinatown really was just a street, but today, with the development of this international metropolis, the areas where Chinese people reside have expanded into neighborhoods and districts, and are quite prosperous, admired even by other areas.
Having arrived to modern Chinatown, perhaps now it’s more suitable to call it a Chinese district. How could you just see someone just because you want to?
"Let’s go, let’s visit it first. If we run into her, we’ll catch up. If not, once the Zisha teapots arrive, I’ll arrange to meet her personally," Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile as he stood up.
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying also got up to join him.
The moment they talked about visiting Chinatown, the three suddenly felt rejuvenated; any travel fatigue or minor jet lag slipped away far beyond their minds.
They left the hotel and grabbed a cab.
An hour later, the three arrived by car at the edge of Ganande’s Chinatown.
Going further in, cars can’t navigate well, so the driver apologized a lot.
Bai Xiaosheng and the others understood.
The high-nosed, blond foreign cab driver, upon seeing the Huaxia-style grand archway and the festive red decorated street from afar, couldn’t help but click his tongue in admiration and expressed that if it weren’t for earning a living, he’d love to visit.
When the topic turned to Huaxia snacks, that white driver rattled off names like a master debater, speaking fluently.
Hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng and his companions felt a sense of pride.
They paid the fare, got out of the car, and walked toward the entrance of Chinatown.
From a distance, the three saw a crowd, a festive sea of red, and faintly heard the sound of drums and music.
They quickened their pace.
Upon entering the actual Chinatown area, it was bustling with activity. From various snacks to acrobatics, lion and dragon dances, and opera performances, it was dazzling, a scenery with every step. The people around were not just Huaxia faces; even foreigners in traditional Chinese attire and cheongsams were seen, and Bai Xiaosheng even heard foreigners conversing in Chinese, asking each other "Have you eaten?"
Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but click her tongue and claim she thought she had "traveled through time."
Soon after, this girl ran off to buy various snacks.
The snacks in Chinatown were truly authentic, unlike those outside that try to cater to local tastes and end up being strange and overly sweet.
The snacks here were even comparable to authentic ones in China; once Lin Weiwei got them, Bai Xiaosheng and Lei Ying couldn’t stop eating them, their eyes lighting up as they praised them.
This trio ate their way from one end of the street to the other, only to discover an even livelier street with more snacks...
Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but scream excitedly.
They ventured onto another street.
Just enjoying, eating, and walking like this, it was afternoon before they realized it, thoroughly enjoying themselves, with their bellies full and legs tired. They found a roadside tea shop with an old-style setup, sat down, and ordered tea served in large bowls.
The shop had an ancient style, with an outdoor stall covered by a canopy for shade, allowing them to see the street bustling with people—a truly interesting place, though not very large, with only two tables.
"What a great view. When I’m old, I also want to work with the government to develop an ancient-style town, bustling with activity, keeping the Huaxia-style architecture and crafts alive," Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but exclaim.
Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but clap her hands, "Great! I’ve decided that when the time comes, I’ll move there. Living in such a fun place would be fantastic."
Even Lei Ying laughed, "Count Zi Yue and me in!"
Just as the three were joking, suddenly a person rushed out from the crowd outside, running quickly, and clashed with a worker dressed in ancient attire delivering tea.
Both of them exclaimed "Ouch" at the same time.
The worker fell, and the other person tumbled towards Bai Xiaosheng and his table.
Luckily, Bai Xiaosheng noticed the exclamation and turned to see the person rushing over. He immediately got up, extended his arm to block, and caught the person.
The figure was not tall, but the force was considerable. Without Bai Xiaosheng’s preparation and adjustment, he might have been knocked down.
Fortunately, Bai Xiaosheng managed to stop them.
The person let out another "Ah," and this time Bai Xiaosheng heard clearly.
It was a woman’s voice, crisp and pleasant.
Bai Xiaosheng was momentarily stunned.
The voice sounded somewhat familiar!
Quickly, Bai Xiaosheng helped the person up and met her gaze.
The person also looked up at Bai Xiaosheng and was immediately taken aback, eyes filled with surprise and joy.
"Bai Yuefeng, is it really you?" Bai Xiaosheng exclaimed in surprise.
Before coming to Chinatown, the three of them had been talking about her, wondering if they would meet.
No one expected to actually run into her now!
"Bai... Bai, Bai Xiaosheng, what are you doing here?" Bai Yuefeng was equally astonished, catching her breath as she spoke.
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying gathered around too.
"Why did you..." Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but point at Bai Yuefeng, gesturing to the direction she’d come from.
The Bai Family is the leading family in Chinatown, yet Miss Bai Yuefeng of Chinatown seems to be running like someone is chasing her.
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying exchanged glances, eyes full of curiosity.
Bai Yuefeng, still catching her breath from the intense run, merely managed to point in the direction she’d come and say, "Someone, someone is chasing me..."
At that moment, a towering white man, young and handsome, squeezed out from the crowd, spotting Bai Yuefeng, and strode over with a rather imposing presence.
Seeing the man’s demeanor and hearing Bai Yuefeng’s words, Lei Ying’s face immediately darkened, and he strode forward.
This was intolerable!
This was Chinatown; how dare someone bully a fellow Chinese here!
Lei Ying couldn’t allow such a thing to happen.
Even Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze turned sharp.
The towering young white man, seeing Lei Ying, a large Asian man, approaching with an unfriendly look, showed no fear and continued towards Bai Yuefeng.
But what awaited him was Lei Ying’s sweeping face smack.
The slap was as large as a bear’s paw.
Bai Yuefeng suddenly realized something and quickly turned to shout, "He’s not a bad person..."
Lei Ying had already slapped the tall guy down; hearing Bai Yuefeng’s words, he turned back in confusion, "What?"
Bai Yuefeng looked directly at the fallen man, muttering, "Um..."
"Just pretend I didn’t say anything..."
