Inheritance of Two Trillion-Chapter 2140 - 1631: Another Admirer?
Bai Xiaosheng and his companions took a taxi and halfway through they changed direction, heading towards Chinatown.
On the way, Bai Xiaosheng asked Red Lotus to help ease his nerves and help him relieve his fatigue.
With Red Lotus’s help, it was naturally a piece of cake.
By the time they reached Chinatown, Bai Xiaosheng’s mental fatigue had been reduced by seventy to eighty percent.
In the eyes of Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, it seemed as if Bai Xiaosheng had only dozed off for a moment.
At the agreed location, Bai Xiaosheng and his companions met Bai Yuefeng. The eldest daughter of the Bai Family in Chinatown was dressed quite formally and stood on the roadside looking stunning, with several suited bodyguards behind her and a row of vehicles ready to serve.
This was their first time seeing the grandeur of Miss Bai’s entourage.
Noticing the attention Bai Xiaosheng and his companions were paying to the entourage behind her, Bai Yuefeng couldn’t help but shrug and smile wryly, "My dad said if I want to go out at night, I have to go like this; otherwise, it’s not safe..."
Bai Xiaosheng smiled, nodded understandingly.
As the night fell and the street lights came on, a young lady going out naturally needed to be more cautious.
Eventually, the four of them boarded a customized business vehicle worth tens of millions Huaxia Currency.
The vehicle was tall and grand, resembling a motorhome, with an interior like a large living room, brightly lit, luxuriously furnished, featuring top-notch handmade carpets underfoot, elegant music playing, and a bar stocked with high-end drinks.
Even the well-informed Bai Xiaosheng and his companions couldn’t help but nod frequently, secretly admiring that the Bai Family truly knew how to enjoy life.
"This is one of my dad’s exclusive vehicles, make yourselves at home," Bai Yuefeng said as she went over to the bar, picked a bottle of low-alcohol wine, and shook it towards the three with a smile, "We’ll be attending a cocktail party later and taste other wines. Let’s start with this one on the way."
Bai Xiaosheng and his companions followed the host’s lead with no objection.
When the car started, it was extremely smooth, so much so that one could hardly feel it moving.
The privacy glass provided a clear view of the nightscape outside, while the inside remained concealed.
Everyone sat around the sofa, sipping fine wine, enjoying the music, and engaging in conversation and laughter.
The topic came to Bai Xiaosheng’s rapid promotion, and Bai Yuefeng couldn’t help but express her curiosity, continuously asking Bai Xiaosheng, "How did you manage to achieve this? It only took you two years to reach a position that Robert’s sister took ten years to reach! You know, their family background is extraordinary and they have extensive cooperation with Zhenbei Group. You didn’t rely on family background or Xuelian’s connections, yet you... achieved all this in just two years?"
Bai Yuefeng was full of curiosity.
"Nothing much, just worked a little harder," Bai Xiaosheng replied casually, sipping the amber liquid in his glass with a slight smile.
A little harder... is all?
These words made Bai Yuefeng roll her eyes at him skeptically.
I don’t believe you!
Bai Xiaosheng remained calm and composed.
Beside him, Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but laugh and said to Bai Yuefeng, "Xiaosheng is just being modest. Actually, he’s quite impressive."
Once Lin Weiwei started talking, she couldn’t stop.
"You know, he can play piano pieces above grade eight, has extraordinary calligraphy skills, knows brewing, cooking, appraising, and more—each to a master level in my opinion. Plus, he knows kung fu and is exceptionally skilled. You saw yesterday how he and Lei Ying took down so many people. And there’s more..."
Having been with Bai Xiaosheng for several years, Lin Weiwei had witnessed countless incredible things, and she talked nonstop for twenty minutes without any sign of stopping.
Lei Ying, uncharacteristically, also chimed in with supplementary comments.
Bai Yuefeng listened in astonishment, repeatedly exclaiming incredulity and frequently seeking verification from Bai Xiaosheng on whether it was true.
"Just a little bit, not as exaggerated as Weiwei says."
"Just a hobby, nothing worth mentioning."
"It’s nothing much..."
The more humble Bai Xiaosheng appeared, the more amazed Bai Yuefeng felt.
In the end, Bai Yuefeng practically looked at him as if he were an alien and couldn’t help but "propose" to Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, "Why don’t we send him to a research institute for study? I seriously suspect he’s either an alien or has traveled from somewhere else. Hey, with all those popular novels from Huaxia I’ve read, I think that’s the truth."
Bai Yuefeng even pressured Bai Xiaosheng to "reveal the truth" about where he had traveled from.
This left Bai Xiaosheng feeling quite helpless.
Fortunately, at this moment, the car stopped, and the assistant pulled open the partition at the front of the compartment, reporting to Bai Yuefeng, "Miss, we’ve arrived."
Only then did Bai Xiaosheng breathe a sigh of relief, pointing to the car door to remind Bai Yuefeng, "We’re here, let’s get off."
Bai Yuefeng finally put the matter aside for the moment.
After getting off the car, Bai Xiaosheng and his companions realized they were in front of a skyscraper.
Looking around, Bai Xiaosheng noticed the brightly lit surroundings and the grand architecture all around.
They were in a central area of Ganande.
The skyscraper was primarily a hotel, incorporating dining, sightseeing, conferences, and various other venues, with elegantly dressed people coming and going.
Fortunately, Bai Xiaosheng and his companions had dressed formally for their visit to the headquarters today, and upon meeting Bai Yuefeng, they noticed she was also dressed formally.
Sensing this, Bai Xiaosheng figured the occasion they were attending had a high standard, so he didn’t bother asking if he needed to change his outfit.
And seeing Bai Xiaosheng dressed appropriately, Bai Yuefeng didn’t mention anything.
"Let’s go," Bai Yuefeng led Bai Xiaosheng and his companions inside, with two Bai Family bodyguards quickly following suit.
"You haven’t told us what we’re here for," Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but lower his voice and ask Bai Yuefeng.
Yesterday, Bai Yuefeng mentioned going to an interesting place, and on the car, she mentioned attending a banquet.
A banquet and interest didn’t seem to have much in common.
At least, in Bai Xiaosheng’s understanding, it didn’t.
Bai Yuefeng lowered her voice as they walked in, explaining, "Today, I’m here at the invitation of a friend to attend a birthday party for my friend’s friend. Many celebrities will be attending, and there will be performances, including comedians and singers. It should be a lot of fun."
I see.
Only then did Bai Xiaosheng realize the situation.
But the way she said "friend" and "friend’s friend" sounded like a tongue-twister.
Considering Bai Yuefeng’s friends, they were undoubtedly remarkable. A birthday party with numerous celebrity attendees proved just that.
As they walked into the hall, a group of people entered from the other side.
Leading the other group were a man and a woman engaged in conversation, when they unintentionally spotted Bai Yuefeng, both of their eyes lit up.
"Yuefeng!" An obviously mixed-race girl excitedly waved her hand and, stepping away from her group, hurried over in eight-centimeter high heels.
She was pretty, but not quite as striking as Bai Yuefeng, nor did she match Lin Weiwei, but she carried a certain extravagant grace, suggesting a notable background. However, her immediate rush to see Bai Yuefeng also showed she wasn’t overly concerned with wealthy family rules and norms.
Seeing things from this perspective, it’s no wonder she could be Bai Yuefeng’s friend.
"Jessica," Bai Yuefeng greeted her happily, making sure to whisper to Bai Xiaosheng, "She’s a good friend of mine and also a college classmate."
Oh, there’s that connection?
Bai Xiaosheng watched as Jessica finally caught up, seeing the two girls happily chatting hand in hand.
Then, Bai Xiaosheng looked up at the group coming over from the opposite side.
The leading figure was a white man, around Bai Xiaosheng’s age, with a face like a movie star and a charming smile.
At the moment, he was watching Bai Yuefeng and Jessica from a distance.
Bai Xiaosheng overheard Jessica whispering to Bai Yuefeng, "Hey, let me introduce that handsome guy Cooper to you. Why won’t you agree to date him? He’s so admiring of and infatuated with you. Knowing Robert is also pursuing you really doesn’t please him. He even considered challenging Robert to a duel! Today is his birthday party, don’t be so cold and give me some face, please."
Hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but be intrigued.
Another admirer of Bai Yuefeng?
Indeed, the eldest daughter of the Bai Family in Chinatown seemed to have many admirers from various families.
Thinking about it, it was understandable.
The Bai Family was famous across America and even North America for their wealth, reputation, and status. Having an eldest daughter of marriageable age still seeking a suitor was bound to capture the attention of young talents from all around.
Perhaps Wei Xuelian was once the same, but now she only belonged to me! Bai Xiaosheng mused inwardly.
At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng lifted his gaze to the handsome man walking towards them. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Could this Cooper be him?
