Chapter 284 Congratulations to Mr. Bai in Advance
Bai Yi was discussing the recent cooperation with Wen Yinglan when she saw her looking thoughtfully at the two people who were chatting happily on the sofa not far away. She asked, "What is Mr. Wen looking at? Why are you so focused?"
Wen Yinglan turned her gaze back, took a sip of tea, and replied: "Shishi has always been a non-marriage advocate. Her parents have been worried about this for a long time. In the past two years, they finally accepted their daughter's idea. Unexpectedly, the child suddenly found someone she likes. So, fate is really God's will."
"Mr. Wen, you are right. My eldest brother has been focusing on his work these years. I have never seen him have a girlfriend, not even a girl he can chat with. Now seeing that he is so devoted to chatting with Miss Qian, I think it must be fate."
Wen Yinglan raised her glass towards her: "Then let me congratulate President Bai in advance."
"Lend your blessings."
At this time, Qian Yuelong and Zhou Jingjing were also observing the person their daughter had taken a fancy to.
"This man is indeed good. Although his family background is a bit complicated, he has never been involved in his family's business affairs. He is always focused on his own career, which is in the field of aerospace research. It is said that he has won many authoritative awards in the industry. He is really a good match for our daughter." Qian Yuelong commented.
Zhou Jingjing rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "Where can you find such a good son-in-law? Don't be picky."
She likes Bai Songan like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law the more she looks at him.
At first, when I heard that my daughter fell in love with the young master of the Bai family, I was very angry. After all, who in the circle didn't know about the messy things going on in the Bai family, not to mention that they started out in the underworld and are still doing those shameful underground businesses.
If her precious daughter were to marry into such a family, she wouldn't know what kind of injustice she would have to endure.
Instead of this, it is better to live a free and easy life alone. Anyway, my daughter has enough ability to earn money and my family can provide for her future.
But her daughter, who had always insisted on not getting married, fell in love with Bai Songan, and was afraid that another girl would get him first. So she pestered the old couple to go to the Bai family to propose marriage every day, saying that this way she could have the opportunity to get the upper hand.
In desperation, even though the couple looked down on the Bai family, they still went to investigate Bai Songan, a mysterious young man who was almost "unknown" in the circle.
After investigating and observing him for a period of time, I was completely impressed by the character and talent of this young man.
Zhou Jingjing could never have imagined that such a pure, elegant, polite, handsome, educated, aerospace scientific research man with a clean past was actually born to that bastard Bai Jingyuan.
Such a clean and cultured ideal son-in-law candidate, if he had not been born in the Bai family, he would have been introduced to my eldest daughter long ago, and I would not have waited until my daughter came to beg me to discover him.
So she directly persuaded her husband who still cared about the Bai family's family background: "Although the Bai family did start out in the underworld, Bai Jingyuan separated from the family decades ago. This is a well-known fact. So we are just marrying into the Bai family in the mainland. What does it have to do with Hong Kong?"
Qian Yuelong disagreed: "That's what I said, but no matter what, it's just a separation. It doesn't mean we will sever our family ties directly. I'm afraid there will be hidden dangers in the future."
Zhou Jingjing rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "What hidden dangers could there be? What kind of world is this now? Do you think the mafia is still full of violence like before? People use their brains to do business. If a businessman doesn't have some means and courage, the family won't be able to develop. As long as it doesn't involve political principles, it's all in the past and can't be counted."
"Let's talk about the Bai family's family situation. The news that Bai Jingyuan is seriously ill has spread a long time ago, and his wife passed away some time ago. Now there is only one daughter left to inherit the family business, and she has already established a firm foothold in the family business. When our daughter marries, there will be no mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts, and no problems caused by complicated interpersonal and family relationships."
"Besides, the current person in charge of the Bai family was able to fight her way back from abroad at such a young age, and then she became the head of the family in just a few years. In the past few years, she has made the family business flourish, which shows that she is a person of character just like Ying Lan. Under her leadership, the Bai family will only get better and better. You won't find another in-law with such development potential and simple family relationships in the entire B city."
After listening to his wife's in-depth and simple analysis, Qian Yuelong's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam of light: "What you said makes sense. We can't just care about family background, we must also look at it from a long-term perspective."
"So, my daughter is more far-sighted than you in this regard. With her free and easy personality, she is suitable for marrying into a merchant family like the Bai family, where interpersonal relationships are simple and there is potential for development. If she really marries Bai Songan, she will have a say in the future marriage and will not suffer any grievances. What's more, she has her parents' family as a backer. Such a good thing will never come again if it is missed."
Qian Yuelong was finally convinced: "My wife, you are really far-sighted and thoughtful."
"You just found out. When your sister wanted to marry Wen Yinglan, you tried to stop her. You said that this girl was very scheming and that she was trying every means to make your sister fall in love with her in order to fight for the family inheritance. Then she climbed up the big tree of your Qian family. You put a whole set of conspiracy theories on her. Do you remember how I advised you back then? Now it proves that I was very foresighted. So when it comes to family marriages, you have to listen to me."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
The problem of being well-matched was solved, but Qian Yuelong began to worry about another problem: "What if Bai Songan doesn't like our daughter?"
Zhou Jingjing glanced at her husband calmly and said, "Don't worry, as long as our family agrees to the marriage, Bai Yi will definitely pack up his brother and send him to our daughter."
Qian Yuelong: "..."

When Ning Yuechen woke up groggy, the room was dark. She blinked, feeling completely confused as to what year it was.
She stood up from the soft carpet and leaned weakly against the sofa behind her, but she felt more and more cold. She picked up the shawl on the sofa and covered herself with it, then walked to the bed in the living room.
At this moment, the garden is not full of blooming flowers, but rather a bleak and desolate scene. The row of ancient trees outside the courtyard are left with only bare branches, which is particularly desolate under the cover of darkness.
"It turns out it's winter already. No wonder it's so cold."
Ning Yuechen muttered to himself, then turned around and sat down on the sofa again, staring at the TV cabinet in front of him without blinking, and finally his eyes fell on the row of photo frames on it.
These are all memories of my mother and Aunt Shi’s past.
