Chapter 52: Chapter 44

He is the one who I want to spend my life with.

Wait, last time I watched the group chat, you guys were still talking about Zhang Bili being jealous of his second sister and preparing to take someone to block Xu Ningjian. My phone was confiscated for a few days, how did the plot develop like this.

Bai Juanqiu was already tall and towering. Now that he was dressed in a well-fitting and sophisticated smoky gray suit, he looked even more handsome and extraordinary.

His bang was combed back, revealing a smooth forehead and sharp eyes.

Instead of being low-key and restrained on weekdays, all the childishness that belongs to young people has faded away, and the whole person suddenly became aggressive.

Unlike the usual low-key and restrained demeanor, even the hint of youthfulness that was unique to young men had all faded away; his whole person had suddenly become more invasive.

He looked more superior than the person in charge from Fenghan.

This was Bai Juanqiu’s first public appearance as Shengjing Technology’s president, so his face was foreign to the entire capital market.

However, there was no need for induction at all. The moment he appeared; everyone knew who he was.

For a moment, all the eyes in the venture were drawn away.

Despite being watched by so many people, Bai Juanqiu didn’t show the slightest uneasiness. Without a care in the world, he surveyed his surroundings.

The banquet hall was brightly lit, with guests gathered like clouds.

The beautiful crystal chandeliers, luxurious champagne tower, fragrant clothes, jewelry, and celebrities together formed a dazzling photo of the floating world.

But none of them were as bright as that person.

Finally, his gaze landed on a spot diagonally ahead.

Ren Xingliu had made many guesses about Bai Juanqiu’s actual situation. He always knew that his blind date was neither as “honest” as the information said, nor as simple as he usually behaved.

Ren Xingliu had many speculations about the true situation Bai Juanqiu was in, and he always knew that his blind date was neither ‘honest’ as stated in the information, nor as simple as he appeared to be.

However, at this moment, Ren Xingliu was still a bit surprised.

Just a little bit.

Seeing Bai Juanqiu being in the center of the attention.

Ren Xingliu instantly felt that this was how Bai Juanqiu should be.

If it wasn’t for the car accident, and if it wasn’t for being married to a bad husband, Bai Juanqiu would have been able to expose his sharp edge earlier.

Fortunately, he wasn’t defeated by hardship, and ultimately emerged from the mud of life.

He had taken back his own life and walked under the spotlight.

Through the crowd, Ren Xingliu looked at this new capitalist and subconsciously raised the champagne in his hand.

However, it instantly became apparent that what he was doing was somewhat silly. With so many people present, there was no way Bai Juanqiu could see him.

He scoffed softly and was about to put his hand down.

At this moment, the person at the center of the attention finally found his direction and looked over.

Passing through numerous figures, their eyes met under the dazzling light.

Bai Juanqiu looked straight at him, and Ren Xingliu was taken aback for a moment. Then, his eyes also curved.

The next second, Bai Juanqiu paused his footsteps and then turned in a different direction.

His movements were a bit sudden, and everyone couldn’t help but show doubts, but he didn’t care at all, and walked forward calmly, passing through the shadows of the fragrant clothes and temples.

His movements were somewhat abrupt, and everyone couldn’t help but show a puzzled expression. However, he didn’t care at all and walked forward calmly, weaving through sweet-scented clothes and distinct hair.

If one looked closely, it was not difficult to see the hint of nervousness inside.

“Sorry, I didn’t tell you sooner.” He whispered.

He didn’t say anything, but both of their hearts knew, and their bellies understood.

Ren Xingliu pursed his lips. “You went a little overboard.”

Bai Juanqiu’s eyes instantly darkened, and the corners of his lips stretched in a straight line. He murmured, “I’m sor—”

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the corners of the boy’s eyes raised, and the corners of his mouth raised: “I won’t do it next time.”

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the youth raise the corner of his eyes, as well as the corner of his mouth. “You’re not allowed a second time.”

His eyes sparkled, carrying the familiar cunning that was unique to him.

Just seeing that expression, Bai Juanqiu knew he was being deliberately teased.

Bai Juanqiu was taken aback for a moment. He eased his composure and chuckled lightly.

He inched closer and softened his voice, but spoke with great determination, “I won’t next time.”

The two whispered among themselves as if there was no one around them, disregarding the scrutiny gazes around them.

In the end, it was Wei Duzhou who couldn’t hold himself back as he bravely cleared his throat, reminding in a low voice, “Bro, Mr. Deng is still waiting for you.”

Mr. Deng was the person in charge of Fenghan Capital, as well as the person who entered with Bai Juanqiu.

Bai Juanqiu naturally didn’t forget the main event. He made a sound of affirmation and said, “I know.”

After saying that, he reached out his hand and gently stroked the top of Ren Xingliu’s head. “I still have things to do, but I’ll explain it to you once I’m done.”

Actually, he shouldn’t have come over, but the moment he saw the youth, he couldn’t stop himself.

He feared that if he delayed it any longer, this spoiled young master would be upset.

Fortunately, he no longer needed to worry about others’ opinions.

Ren Xingliu blinked and said, “Alright.”

Bai Juanqiu straightened up and was about to turn around when there was a sudden “clang” sound next to him. A wine glass fell to the ground and broke into pieces, with glass shards flying everywhere.

Bai Juanqiu then stood up. As he was about to turn around, there was a sound of clanging that came from the side. A wine glass fell to the ground, dividing into quarters, cracking into five and spilling the liquid.

In Bai Guanghai’s panic, he accidentally pressed against the table next to him and knocked over the glass.

It was only then that Bai Juanqiu noticed him. He frowned slightly, then as if he had thought of something, he turned to look at his friend and said, “You invited him here?”

Wei Duzhou felt a little guilty and whispered, “The Bai Family has been bullying you for so many years. It was about time for him to see for himself—”

Bai Juanqiu didn’t hesitate when it came to major matters, but for trivial matters, he would either be too lazy to argue or even disdain it.

For example, he could have kept his head down for more than a decade and decisively launched a sniper attack on the Bai Family after having enough strength at last.

But from beginning to end, he didn’t bother to demonstrate against the Bai Family in person.

Bai Juanqiu felt that showing off was pointless; it would only waste his energy.

Wei Duzhou was not so calm. He had known Bai Juanqiu for so many years, and he knew best how the Bai family tried every means to abuse his nephew.

Wei Duzhou, however, wasn’t that calm. He had known Bai Juanqiu for so many years and was very aware of how the Bai Family was trying to find ways to trample on his friend.

So, when the dust settled on the cooperation between Shengjing and Fenghan, they could finally bare their fangs without any hesitation.

Wei Duzhou could not wait to rush to the Bai Family this instant and released gas for Bai Juanqiu.

Especially Bai Guanghai, he should witness with his own eyes what Bai Juanqiu had achieved today.

Wei Duzhou was able to handle some fine branches and end knots while Bai Juanqiu was busy with the final negotiation with Fenghan Capital in the last few days.

So, Wei Duzhou took the opportunity to entrust an employee from Fenghan Capital to send an invitation to Bai Guanghai.

The employee didn’t know the reason, just thought this was an esteemed guest from Shengjing Technology, so Bai Guanghai was politely contacted.

It was why Wei Duzhou had mentioned earlier that it was Bei Guanghai who was basking in Bai Juanqiu’s light.

Bai Juanqiu wasn’t aware of this, but also knew that Wei Duzhou was fighting for his justice, so he took it as a harmless elegance and scoffed, “There’s no need.”

Wei Duzhou pursed his lips and dared not speak again.

After Bai Juanqiu finished speaking, he was well on his way without even looking to his side, as if that person was an insignificant passerby.

However, Bai Guanghai’s resentment wasn’t having it as he subconsciously shouted out, “Wait a moment—”

His complexion was already grayish white. Even to this moment, he still couldn’t believe everything he was seeing.

Bai Juanqiu was actually the real boss behind Shengjing!

This means that not only did this company grow and develop under his eyes, but Bai Juanqiu also tricked him thoroughly from beginning to end!

This meant that this company had not only flourished right under his nose, Bai Juanqiu had also completely fooled him, from the head to the tail!

His nephew wasn’t a useless person at all, but a visionary and ambitious person.

When did it all begin?

Since college? After graduation?

…Or even earlier?

How old was he when he developed such a deep thought ?

When he thought of this, Bai Guanghai felt a chill down his spine.

He had kept this nephew by his side for so many years, thinking that he had everything under his control, but he didn’t realize that this was a beast that was good at disguising and had been sharpening his teeth in the dark.

He has kept this nephew by his side for many years because he thought he was in control of everything, but he didn’t realize that he housed a beast skilled in disguise, grinding his sharp fangs in the dark.

Just waiting for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

What was even more terrifying was how long Bai Juanqiu was able to endure. Did that mean he knew more than he let on?

Bai Guanghai didn’t dare to think about it. In a moment of loss of control, he accidentally knocked over his glass and froze in an instant.

He was originally terrified and afraid of confronting Bai Juanqiu, but instead, he was completely ignored, so the anger inside blazed.

How dare Bai Juanqiu!

Bai Juanqiu looked back within a hint of expression on his face, giving the man an indifferent glance. “Is there anything else?”

“Y-y-you…” Bai Guanghai gritted his teeth and tried his best to make his voice sound calm, “You were really concealing your talents.”

Bai Juanqiu looked unfazed and said, “It’s still nothing compared to you.”

Bai Guanghai still had a trace of luck in his heart: “I raised you to such a big age and treated you well. Why did you hide it from me like this…”

Bai Guanghai still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, “ I have raised you to such an age, and I never treated you anything less. Why do you have to hide this from me…”

“Uncle,” Bai Juanqiu interrupted him with a hint of mockery in his tone, “I was young back then, not dumb.”@@novelbin@@

He didn’t want to confront Bai Guanghai here, but if the other party dared to mention it on his own accord, he wouldn’t be polite then.

Bai Juanqiu walked up to Bai Guanghai step by step. Unlike when he was smiling in front of Ren Xingliu, he straightened his back, put one hand in his trouser pocket, raised his chin slightly, and looked down at Bai Guanghai.

Bai Juanqiu walked step by step to Bai Guanghai, and unlike the lowered head and smiling treatment shown to Xingliu, he stood with his back straight, one hand in his pants pocket, and slightly raised his chin, looking down at Bai Guanghai from above.

He was tall, so when standing at his full height, he was more than half a head taller than Bai Guanghai.

Most of the time in the past, during their meeting, Bai Guanghai would be sitting in his chair and examining his nephew with the posture of superiority.

It was only then that Bai Guanghai suddenly realized that this child, who only reached his shoulders when he first came to Bai’s house, had grown so much taller than him.

It wasn’t until now that Bai Guanghai realized the child, who used to be only up to his shoulder when he first came to the Bai Family, had grown so much taller than he was at some point.

Just standing in front of him, even if in a careless manner, was enough to create a strong sense of oppression.

Bai Juanqiu looked down from above, not even bothering to show contempt, but the coldness in his eyes made Bai Guanghai shivered uncontrollably.

“Uncle, we both know very well that it was my parents’ estate that sustained the Bai Family; it was not you who raised me.”

He didn’t speak loudly, but to Bai Guanghai, it was as loud as thunder.

Bai Guanghai stiffened, and his face filled with shock.

This boy knew, from the beginning!

“Y-you shouldn’t be talking nonsense…” Bai Guanghai trembled and took a step back, unable to form a complete sentence.

“Whether this is nonsense or not, we shall see.” Bai Juanqiu ceased their battle of tongue and left with that sentence without hesitation.

There were still many things on tonight’s agenda. In comparison, Bai Guanghai was insignificant.

Their conversation only lasted for a short time, and the guests had no idea what had happened.

Although there were some doubts, it was not the time to explore this now. When Bai Juanqiu came back, the banquet process immediately resumed.

Although there were some doubts, it was not the right moment to probe into this. Seeing Bai Juanqiu coming back, the banquet immediately continued.

Bai Juanqiu looked the same as he walked towards the stage with Mr. Deng, the chairman of Fenghan, under the guidance of the master of ceremonies.

Mr. Deng was quite curious and asked, “Is that your uncle just now?”

It was important to investigate the company from all angles, including the background of the person in charge, especially with Shengjing’s unique equity structure.

Therefore, Mr. Deng had a good understanding of Bai Juanqiu’s background and knew that the young man grew up with his uncle, but their relationship didn’t look that positive.

However, this matter had nothing to do with their cooperation, and Fenghan Capital didn’t delve deeper into it.

Bai Juanqiu nodded and said, “Yes.”

He didn’t want to go into detail, so Mr. Deng stopped and asked, “How about the youth?”

He only mentioned it casually, not expecting to hear a reply.

Bai Juanqiu unconsciously smiled, pondered for a moment, and then answered seriously, “He is the one who I want to spend the rest of my life with.”
