Chapter 680: Chapter 680 - The Bai Family

After leaving the Chinese mountain and river-themed restaurant, both Su Li and Shen Qinyan stared at Xiao Luo with extraordinary attention. They looked as if they were trying to see through him as their eyes were on him since then.

“What’s wrong?” Xiao Luo asked them, feeling awkward, although he could guess the answer.

“What’s wrong? That was the president of the Mei nation, Mr. Oba. You and he are… Why do you guys looked like you have known each other for a long time?” Shen Qingyan could not hide her surprise. Had she not witnessed this with her very eyes, she would have never believed that Xiao Luo was someone who could chit chat with somebody like the president of the Mei nation.

“I used to stay in the Mei nation for a while and had worked with him before for some time,” Xiao Luo came up with a random excuse to explain for himself.

Had worked with Mr. Oba?

“Why don’t you work with our general secretary since you’re so capable?”

Shen Qingyan obviously thought that Xiao Luo was throwing out nonsense. She stood with arms akimbo and stared at Xiao Luo wilfully. “Besides being the boss behind Luo’s Workshop, what kind of identity are you still hiding from us?”

Xiao Luo chuckled and shook his head. “What kind of identity do you think I possess?”

“God knows who you are. I am asking you a question. Don’t throw it back at me.” Shen Qingyan was pissed.

“I don’t have any other identity, but my identification card has expired, though,” Xiao Luo replied.

Shen Qingyan was so pissed by that cheeky reply and she snapped, “F*ck off!”

“…” Xiao Luo raised his brows.

“Alright. Let’s find a place to eat. What’s the point of dwelling in pointless questions,” Su Li said coldly, stopping the argument.

“Pointless questions? Li, that’s the president of Mei nation, Mr. Oba! He came to greet Xiao Luo first and even shook his hand and hugged him. Don’t you think that makes Xiao Luo’s identity very special?” Shen Qingyan was not going to give up easily as she wanted to investigate every aspect of Xiao Luo and get a complete understanding of who this man was.

Su Li glanced at Xiao Luo coldly and replied with an even colder tone, “Boring questions!”

As she finished speaking, she walked towards the car park.

“My wife’s correct. How boring are those questions.”

Xiao Luo shrugged and followed her. He was very certain that Su Li also want to know more, but her patient character would keep her from taking too much initiative. She was simply waiting for him to confess and tell her about everything. However, he had signed a confidentiality agreement with the NSA. He had to keep his identity as a member of the NSA strictly a secret. After all, only a small group of people, such as the government executives, was aware of the existence of the NSA. Ordinary folks would never get access to information about the NSA at all.

“Boring? How could these be boring questions?”

Shen Qingyan was very puzzled as she felt that Xiao Luo was veiled by a cloud of mystery. Coming from a place of curiosity and a human’s inquisitive nature, she really wanted to know what kind of special identity did Xiao Luo possess.

There was a western-style manor located in the suburbs area from the west of Jingcheng.

It occupied over a hundred acres and had plenty of lush greenery within the proximity. The roads were built based on the symmetrical principle, and there was a well-lit mansion at the center of the crossroad. If one looked from above, he would see that there was a rectangular shape lotus pond in the center and there was a fountain at the central position of the pond that worked all day.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

This was the mansion of the Bai family.

It was heavily guarded, and there were security guards everywhere who were dressed in black suits.

At the living hall of the mansion, there was an elderly in his 70s who was trying to hoax Su Xiaobei. He stood tall like a pine tree, and his coarse hand was pinching Su Xiaobei’s chubby cheeks. “Girl, I am your great-grandfather. Call me great-grandfather!”

He was Bai Guoxiong, the current head of the Bai family. He had a son and a daughter. His son, Bai Ying, was just beside him. Bai Ying was a stern man as he already looked pretty fierce without meaning it, but he also looked at Su Xiaobei in a doting manner. Bai Guoxiong’s daughter, on the other hand, was cheering for Su Xiaobei to respond to her great-grandfather.

However, the little girl was extremely frightened as her eyes were reddened. She was about to cry, and she said weepingly, “I want Mommy. I want Daddy.”

After a few tries, Bai Guoxiong could not help but sigh and give up.

“Dad, we can’t rush this. Xiaobei was raised by Su Li since young, and she must be feeling distant from her real home.” Bai Ying waved and signaled his sister to bring Su Xiaobei away.

Bai Guoxiong blinked his murky eyes and let out a deep sigh. “I was too reckless back then. I couldn’t come to terms with myself when I was younger. Even though that woman tricked Yuquan into having sex with her despicably, she still ultimately gave birth to my great-grandchild. She has Bai family’s blood, and I shouldn’t let Yuquan go just like that.”

The older one became, the more they yearn for love and affection from their kin. The source of this love could be found in his offsprings. Seeing how his great-grandchild had grown into such a cute, obedient, and smart girl, he felt nothing but immense love for her. He would cherish her forever in his arms.

“Those were in the past. In addition, we had retrieved Xiaobei now. You don’t have to feel bad about what happened back then,” Bing Ying tried to convince Bai Guoxiong. He had become a grandfather, too, so he was quite excited about it.

“That’s right, Grandpa. We just have to make up for what we didn’t manage to give her now.”

It was a young lady who spoke. She had clean and sharp bob hair with delicate facial features. However, her eyes were slightly more apart than ordinary people, but it did no harm to her beauty and made her look even more unique.

If Xiao Luo was here, he would recognize her as the NSA member with the codename ‘Rose’. She was Bai Ying’s youngest daughter, Bai Xuenan.

“You guys are right. My great-grandchild is still young. it’s not too late to make up for her now!” Bai Guoxiong smiled in relief.

At this time, a man and a woman entered the living hall. The man was handsome, while the woman was charming.

It was Bai Yuquan and Yu Yasi.

“Grandpa. Father,” Bai Yuquan greeted Bai Guoxiong first and then bowed to Bai Ying. His wife, Yu Yasi also bowed with him.

“Yuquan, you have met that celebrity, Su Li, today?” Bai Guoxiong asked.

“Yes, Grandpa.” Bai Yuquan nodded with respect.

“What does she want?” Bai Guoxiong’s coarse hands were playing with the dragon-head walking stick as he asked.

Before Bai Yuquan could answer, Yu Yasi chimed in, “That shameless b*tch said that she would definitely see us on the court.”

“Oh?”

Bai Guoxiong was amused.

Bai Xuenan humphed. “She’s just a celebrity. How dare she stand up against the Bai family? I wonder where she got that courage and confidence!” she snapped.

Bai Ying did not comment, but based on his facial expression, he, too, looked indifferent to Su Li’s challenge.

Bai Yuquan bowed and smiled. “Grandpa, Su Li couldn’t possibly cause any trouble for us. Her decision to come at us is as futile as using an egg to crack a stone. However, she’s with somebody who is very capable that we must be careful of.”

“A capable man?” Bai Guoxiong squinted.

“That’s right, Grandpa,” Bai Yuquan answered. “The president of the Mei nation, Mr. Oba, had greeted him first when they met. I had spoken to Mr. Oba afterward and learned something from him. He said that that guy had caused a lot of troubles for both Mei nation and Ri nation recently. There are still people everywhere in the Mei nation protesting against the federal government even today.”
