"Oh my god! This... this... this! My brother-in-law is the third-largest shareholder of the Baida Group!"

Looking at the results that popped up on her phone after a quick online search for Fang Chenyi’s name, Bai Mengyao gasped in shock.

Startled by the gasp, Fang Chenyi, who was passed out on the table, stirred drowsily, as if trying to find a more comfortable position to sleep in.

"Baida Group? Which Baida Group?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Though Chen Xi, at her side, had also had a lot to drink, his mind was still relatively clear. But hearing his wife’s words left him momentarily stunned. He shook his slightly dizzy head before asking the question.

Bai Mengyao glanced at Fang Chenyi passed out on the table, then at the photo on her phone, and instantly confirmed there was no mistake. She looked around at everyone, saw they were all staring at her, then swallowed hard with a GULP.

"It’s... it’s *that* Baida Group... the one whose founder said ’a small goal is a hundred million’!"

The moment she spoke, the room fell silent as a tomb. A second later, as everyone processed her words, the place erupted. Shock was written all over their faces.

This was different from before. Although being the chairman of Qinhuang Sunlight Noble Private Middle School was already impressive, compared to the Baida Group, it wasn’t even a drop in the bucket.

And their new son-in-law was the third-largest shareholder of the Baida Group! Holy crap, what kind of incredible person was this?!

As everyone was reeling from the shock, Bai Mengyao, as if feeling the impact wasn’t enough, proceeded to drop another bombshell:

"And that’s not all! It’s not just that! My brother-in-law is also the controlling shareholder of the world-famous luxury brand, Louis Vuitton China. Oh? And there’s more! Sole chairman of Lu Chao Technology, chairman of Qinhuang Sunlight Noble Private Middle School, with temporarily assessed personal assets of... one hundred and ten... billion... US Dollars!!! Oh my god! Such an incredible person is my brother-in-law... HAHAHAHA, such an incredible person is my brother-in-law!!"

The more she spoke, the more her heart pounded, until by the end, Bai Mengyao felt almost numb. Looking now at her brother-in-law, sleeping soundly on the table, she could hardly believe any of it was real.

And it was the same for everyone else. Even if they didn’t know who Louis Vuitton was, or Baida, or Lu Chao Technology, they understood what a personal net worth of one hundred and ten billion US Dollars meant. That was nearly enough to be the richest man in China!

..

When Fang Chenyi groggily opened his eyes again, his mouth felt incredibly dry. He subconsciously got out of bed to grope for the water cup on the nightstand, but when he saw his surroundings clearly, he froze. ’Where am I?’

"Crap, my woven bag!"

With a cry of alarm, Fang Chenyi’s mind instantly cleared. He hurriedly looked toward the head of the bed and saw a small handbag right next to his pillow.

He crossed the room in a few quick strides, grabbed the handbag, and opened it. His woven bag was lying quietly inside. The heart that had jumped into his throat finally settled back down.

He rubbed his head hard and finally recalled that he seemed to have drunk too much last night. He scanned the very clean and tidy room, his gaze finally landing on a photograph on the desk.

The person in the photo was none other than his girlfriend, Bai Menghan. It was obvious, then, that this was her room.

’Even though he and Bai Menghan had been intimate more than once, this was her family’s home! Sleeping together before they were even married... wouldn’t Father and Mrs. Bai have something to say about it?’

Just as his thoughts were running wild, the door clicked open. Bai Menghan, wearing an elegant set of pajamas and carrying a glass of water, walked in.

"You’re up? Why not sleep a bit more?"

He reached out, took the glass of warm water from Bai Menghan, and chugged it down. The water soothed his throat, which had felt as dry as a desert.

"Er, uh, Menghan... about me sleeping in your room, did your parents... say anything?"

Hearing this, Bai Menghan just rolled her eyes at Fang Chenyi helplessly. "What are you thinking? I slept on the sofa last night."

"Er... I should have been the one sleeping on the sofa. How could I let my darling sleep there...?"

After a bit more small talk, Fang Chenyi suddenly switched to a more serious topic:

"Oh, right, honey. Did you talk to your parents about moving in?"

"I did, but they said they won’t move for now. They’ll wait until after we get married."

After having breakfast with Bai Menghan and her parents, the two of them got in the car to return to the city, seen off by a reluctant Father Bai and Mrs. Bai.

As for the matter of having Bai Menghan’s parents move in with them, Fang Chenyi brought it up again at the breakfast table, but he was once again refused by the couple.

Since her parents were so insistent, Fang Chenyi and Bai Menghan didn’t press the issue. They just left a key to the villa so her parents could go and stay for a couple of days whenever they wanted, and let the matter drop.

In the car on the way back, Fang Chenyi carefully asked if he had lost his composure or said anything stupid after getting drunk. But Bai Menghan just chuckled, which made Fang Chenyi start to worry. ’If I really did run my mouth while drunk, wouldn’t that ruin my image?’

"Oh, right. Isn’t your third uncle’s daughter in middle school? Why don’t you ask them later if they’re willing to let her transfer to Qinhuang Sunshine."

"Are you kidding? How could they possibly not want to? Didn’t you see how envious Third Uncle and Auntie were when you agreed to send Mengjie to Qinhuang Sunshine? Since you’ve given the okay, I’ll tell them later."

They chatted and laughed the whole way. After leaving the rougher roads of the county behind, the highway portion of the drive was much faster than the trip there. An hour and a half later, the car was already off the highway, just three to five minutes away from their neighborhood.

RING RING RING~

Just as they got off the highway, Fang Chenyi’s phone started ringing.

He took it out and saw a long, strange number. "Huh? What kind of phone number starts like this?"

Bai Menghan, who was driving, glanced over quickly, also puzzled.

"That looks like a foreign number. I’m not sure which country, though."

’A call from overseas? Could it be Gou Dan?’

He figured it was probably a call about his Wuling van being repaired, so he answered.

"Oh, Fang, my old friend. I was wondering if what we discussed before is still on the table."

Hearing the voice from the receiver, Fang Chenyi was taken aback. It was Demo Did, the man who had just lost an airplane to him.

"Something we discussed? What are you referring to?"
