He also knew that Bai Xiao and An Zhiyuan had really gotten married, and they had received an invitation to the wedding in the Capital City, but the old man was attending a conference somewhere at that time and didn’t have time to go. He had always suppressed the news about Bai Xiao, and to all the members of the Jiang Family, this was a silent signal, and no one else would consider going.
Now that Bai Xiao was in the provincial capital and her family was all together, should he make an appearance?
Should this relationship be mended at all?
Jiang Shaoqing glanced at the photo of Bai Xiao and An Zhiyuan standing side by side, hand in hand in the minefield. The smile tugging at the corner of the girl’s mouth, and the light in her eyes, death could not bring her to tears, nor show any trace of fear or cowardice! Such a girl was so strong and bright.
...
After seeing off Bai Ju and company, Bai Xiao collapsed onto the sofa, with three bank books laid out on the coffee table. Bai Ju and He Wang refused to take their bank books back no matter what, and there was an additional one from He Weng! To use He Weng’s words, his life had been saved by Bai Xiao, she was like a real sister to him, and it was only right for a brother to give his sister a wedding gift. Originally, He Weng had planned to buy a car as a gift for Bai Xiao, along with a house, but since Bai Xiao and her family were in Yun Province, buying a house here would be useless.
So, being more practical, He Weng prepared this bank book instead. What Bai Xiao didn’t know was that He Weng had already sent people to Yun Province to make arrangements, planning to expand his wholesale market there and even purchase a house for Bai Xiao close to her workplace! A car would also be prepared.
A car, a house, and money, she deserved it all.
To him, Bai Xiao had given more than just a life; she also gave him his current business, a path he had only embarked on with Bai Xiao’s guidance. The person who orchestrated everything merely needed to provide the ideas, and he understood that without Bai Xiao, he’d still probably be a laborer on a construction site, having worked his way up from a junior worker to a senior one, at best just a hard-working hired hand.
Everything he had now was because of a single word, a single idea from Bai Xiao. And it wasn’t just him who benefitted, but also Liu Hong. They were all beneficiaries, not to mention Bai Yue. He Weng had personally witnessed the spark of an idea from Bai Xiao take effect.
Bai Xiao’s personal charm was so immense, bringing endless positive energy to everyone around her. Whenever she had an idea, who knew what kind of new concept might come to light?
Regarding the food factory renovation plan, He Weng understood the business opportunity it represented. He had seen the prosperity of cities in the south, their rapid development—things their inland cities did not have. He had only cared about his own business, without any further contemplation, but Bai Xiao was different. She could turn any opportunity into a benefit for those around her.
An Zhiyuan embraced her, and she leaned into his arms. "Tired already? Then go to sleep. There’s nothing much to do these next couple of days anyway. Rest well, I’m here for everything." Bai Xiao’s languid demeanor clearly showed she hadn’t rested well.
"Just look at us now, we’ve even become millionaires." She picked up the bank book He Weng had given her nonchalantly. She hadn’t even looked at it at the time, and it would have been awkward to do so in front of others.
She flipped through it, smiled wryly, and handed it to An Zhiyuan. "He Weng is really showing his gratitude for saving his life, look at this, three hundred thousand."
An Zhiyuan gently kissed her forehead. "He’s given this whether it’s out of gratitude for saving his life or for the brotherly affection. Just keep it, we’ll have plenty of chances to repay them in the future. He Weng will eventually get married, right? Sister, their children will grow up too, and we’ll think of a way to give it back then. Will you be upset with me for making this decision on your behalf?"
