30: Su Qingge was curious: What happened last night?

The Bai Family.

Inside a brightly lit villa, in the reception hall.

A middle-aged man with a mustache, dressed in a suit, was carefully listening to a phone call.

This person was Bai Jinglong, the head of the Bai Family.

“Just as I expected…”

“Your aunt really called me, asking me to give my full support to Lin Jianjun.”

After hanging up the phone.

Bai Jinglong pondered, then informed his three sons who were in front of him about the situation.

“Then Father, should we lend money to Uncle?”

“Lend what? Our Bai Family’s liquid capital is only 300 million, and Aunt actually wants to borrow all of it? This is too risky!”

“But if we don’t lend… will Uncle be displeased and hold a grudge against us in the future?”

“Hmph! If he dares, then let Aunt properly rein him in!”

“…”

The three Bai Family brothers looked at each other, each with their own opinion.

“Enough!”

Seeing his three sons start to argue.

Bai Jinglong frowned, slammed the table, and his authority was fully displayed.

Inside the hall, silence was restored in an instant.

“Lend! And we must lend with all our might. 300 million isn’t enough…”

“I’ll see about getting another 200 million from banks or other families to give to Lin Jianjun.”

Ah… this?!

Is Father crazy? Is there a need for this!

Hearing Bai Jinglong’s words, the three Bai Hai brothers instinctively opened their mouths, wanting to object.

But under their father’s stern gaze, they ultimately dared not speak up in refutation.

It was just that their questioning gaze, as if thinking “Is Dad having mental problems?”, left Bai Jinglong speechless.

He explained impatiently:

“I’m not senile yet, don’t look at me with that kind of expression. The reason I’m doing this is because your aunt just revealed…”

“Lin Corporation is about to launch a beauty cream, so powerful that it will revolutionize the entire medical aesthetics market, doubling Lin Corporation’s market value.”

“If we want a piece of the pie and more profit then, we must earn Lin Jianjun’s gratitude now.”

“As the saying goes, it’s easy to add flowers to embroidery, but difficult to send charcoal in the snow!”

“Think about the huge profits later, what is this current investment? Seize this opportunity, and we might be able to take advantage of it to advance to a second-tier family!”

“…”

Under Bai Jinglong’s explanation.

The three Bai Hai brothers suddenly understood, and all gave a thumbs-up, praising their father’s wisdom.

“Hahaha…”

“You are all still too green; there’s still much to learn from your old man.”

Feeling the admiring gazes of his sons, Bai Jinglong’s mood brightened.

At this moment, he noticed that his favorite youngest daughter was not there.

“Where’s Su Su? Didn’t she come back with you?”

“Oh! Su Su said she was a bit tired, so I told her to go back to her room to rest first.”

Bai Hai said, stroking his “shiny” bald head.

“Is that so! Then have her come see me tomorrow. Although I used to look down on that Lin Xuan a lot.”

“But now that he holds 3 billion in wealth, it’s not impossible to give him a chance to be my son-in-law…”

Bai Jinglong narrowed his eyes, fixating on the enormous wealth in Lin Xuan’s hands.

He knew that the former Lin Xuan was interested in his daughter.

However, at that time, he only knew that Lin Xuan was not favored, but he was unaware that he held 30% of the shares.

After all, Lin Jianjun had deliberately concealed this matter.

This also led him to strictly guard Bai Susu, cutting off Lin Xuan’s further opportunities.

If I hadn’t stopped them back then… would this 30% share as a dowry belong to my Bai Family now?!

Thinking this, Bai Jinglong’s heart fluttered, filled with immense regret. o(╥﹏╥)o

“But it’s not too late now…”

“With Su Su’s beauty, she’s certainly better than a vegetative person who can only lie in bed…”

On the other side.

Inside the villa, in a certain pink girl’s boudoir.

Bai Susu lay on the large pink bed, hugging a large SpongeBob SquarePants plushie, unable to fall asleep.

In her mind.

It was all about Lin Xuan’s actions tonight, which completely overturned her previous perception of this brother.

“Brother Lin Xuan… did he become like this for Sister Su?”

Thinking of Su Qingge.

A look of longing flashed in Bai Susu’s beautiful eyes.

She had once been taken by Bai Jinglong to attend a certain party, where she had met Su Qingge.

The other woman, in a red dress, exuded elegance and nobility.

Holding a wine glass, she moved among the powerful and wealthy, like her father’s age, chatting and laughing freely.

That kind of calm and composed demeanor.

Made Bai Susu feel inferior for the first time in her life.

As fellow women.

The other person was only a few years older than herself… but in front of Su Qingge, she felt like a child who had just grown up… Later, she heard that Su Qingge had become a vegetative person.

While Bai Susu felt regret, a hint of schadenfreude also arose in her heart.

Just as she thought the other person would become the eternal “legend” of the Demon Capital… the matter of Lin Xuan marrying into the family happened!

Recalling Lin Xuan’s attitude towards her tonight.

Bai Susu felt a little uncomfortable, a little unwilling.

Especially since he had once been completely devoted to her, but now, because of another woman, he treated her with cold indifference.

“Just how much charm do you possess?”

“To make Brother Lin Xuan so unfamiliar, like a different person…”

“You’re already a vegetative person, why do you still have to compete with me for Brother Lin Xuan?”

“…”

At this moment.

Bai Susu herself didn’t realize it.

Because of that hint of jealousy towards Su Qingge, her mindset gradually underwent some new changes… Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

Regarding what happened to the Lin Family.

Some were furious, some watched with cold eyes, some sneered, some were ambitious, trying every means to raise money… Even Su Qingge, lying motionless on her sickbed, was still worried about Lin Xuan’s situation.

Was he being troubled by the Lin Family?!

However, if she knew that the person she was so worried about… was currently sound asleep on the bed in the room next to hers, would she be so angry that she’d jump out of bed on the spot?!

The night passed without incident.

The next day.

Lin Xuan woke up full of energy, still going to the flower shop first, buying a violet, and returning to the Su Family.

“Qingge, I’m here.”

After a soft greeting, Lin Xuan placed the violet by the bed and began today’s rehabilitation activities.

He helped Su Qingge sit up and started a full body massage from head to toe.

“Lin Xuan? He’s back. I wonder if anything happened last night at the birthday party?”

“I really want to know! Why won’t he tell me? Last night must have been extraordinary!”

“If only I had the ability to hear inner thoughts, then I wouldn’t be so completely in the dark.”

“However… Lin Xuan’s skills seem to have improved! Ahh~~ It feels so good!”

…While Su Qingge felt comfortable, she was also incredibly curious.

Last night, she could vaguely hear a few servants whispering, seemingly discussing Lin Xuan’s affairs.

“Good man… envy Miss… Young Master Lin is truly the most devoted…”

Due to the distance, Su Qingge only got bits and pieces of information.

But it was enough to pique her curiosity.

After finally enduring until dawn… she thought she could learn the truth from the person involved, but who would have thought Lin Xuan wouldn’t say a word… Sigh.

So annoying!!!
