Zhou Yueyun was astonished. Goodness, her desire to have a daughter had diminished considerably. Even if she and Du Guoqiang were sold, they wouldn't be able to make this much money.

"This costs even more than raising a princess!" Zhou Yueyun exclaimed.

"Absolutely! And their kids' social circles are filled with princesses and princes, or wealthy and influential people from a young age. They've built up their connections from childhood. Sigh, they're born at the finish line for us ordinary kids!" the driver exclaimed with even more emotion.

Lin Bai smiled and said, "We ordinary people also have the joys of daily life, there's no comparison. People like them will have to bear greater responsibilities when they grow up."

"That's right, it's better to live a simple and peaceful life." The driver was an optimist and quickly came to terms with it, then started chatting about other gossip.

As the road ahead gradually opened up, Ye Xunmei's convoy drove in front, with other vehicles not daring to get close, following at a distance, like stars surrounding the moon.

Upon arriving at the gate, the driver glanced at the villa and chuckled, "I was blind to your wealth; you're quite the rich people!"

“This is a friend’s house, we can’t afford it.” Zhou Yueyun laughed. She would be laughing in her dreams if she could own a house on the hillside.

"I understand that the friends of rich people are also rich."

The driver smiled and immediately recognized that the two fellow villagers were wealthy. Poor people couldn't afford so many clothes and jewelry. No wonder their relatives back home said life was good now. It seemed that life really was good. He would go back and discuss with his wife whether they should go back to their hometown and buy another house.

Du Guoqiang and the two children hadn't returned yet, and Lin Baiwei was unsettled. She was still hesitating when she finally decided to insert coins, leaving the numbers as they were and spending them instead.

The first time was a word. Lin Bai gritted her teeth. Best two out of three, one time doesn't count.

So she cast again, and sure enough, it was a flower. She cast once more, and it was still a flower. Lin Baiwei made up her mind. Fate had already decided to let her go, so she might as well go!

She dressed up carefully and looked charming and pretty. She was very satisfied with herself. Surely the man named William wouldn't mind that she was too old?

After dinner, Lin Baiwei told Xiao Jie that she was going out to run some errands, and then told Zhou Yueyun that she was having a friend's gathering and would be home late. She asked the couple to look after Xiao Jie. Zhou Yueyun readily agreed and told her to have fun. However, the look in Zhou Yueyun's eyes when she left made Lin Baiwei feel extremely guilty. She didn't know if Zhou Yueyun had noticed anything.

The neon lights on the streets of Hong Kong were very beautiful, even more lively than during the day. Lin Baiwei arrived at the entrance of Night Bar, mustered up her courage and went in. The atmosphere in the bar was somewhat ambiguous, but just right, making Lin Baiwei feel very comfortable.

Men and women sat in twos and threes, chatting and drinking in hushed tones. Everyone was in their own little world, no one knew each other, and no one would meddle. Lin Bai's slightly flustered heart calmed down a bit. He asked the bartender for a drink to bolster his courage, wondering if William had arrived yet.

"Is that Jenny?"

A deep, husky male voice reached her ears, and Lin Bai's heart skipped a beat. She looked up and saw a pair of deep blue eyes. The man wasn't young; there were fine lines at the corners of his eyes, which made her feel more at ease. She preferred older men.

The man was of mixed race, with a charming beard, dressed in a well-tailored suit, clean and tasteful. Lin Baiwei's heart pounded, and she asked in a low voice, "William?"

William smiled slightly, his eyes revealing admiration. Even if it wasn't business, he liked Lin Baiwei. This woman was totally his type, but unfortunately, they were destined not to be together.
