A few hours later.

Qin Bai felt an itch in his nose.

I opened my eyes and looked.

A lively and adorable fish was swimming around me.

He was holding a feather in his hand and sliding it across his nose.

"Dumbfish, did you open the window and catch the birds outside?"

"No, and you can't open the windows on the plane," she patiently explained to Qin Bai.

"Where did this thing come from?"

"Oh, you mean this?" Dumbfish shook the feather in its hand. "I brought it on the plane."

Okay.

The fish is still very lively.

Qin Bai stretched, sat up from the sofa, and looked outside.

"Huh? Has it already landed?"

Yu Xiaoyu said with a smile, "Yes, I saw you were sleeping soundly so I didn't wake you."

Qin Bai affectionately patted her head.

"Good boy, how long have you been on the ground?"

“About…” Yu Xiaoyu counted on her fingers: “About two and a half hours.”

"Two... what?"

Qin Bai's eyes widened immediately: "It's been so long, hasn't your father come looking for you?"

"I looked for it."

Where is he?

Dumbfish tilted its head slightly and looked behind it.

A bad feeling stirred in Qin Bai's heart.

No way.

Could it be that old man Yu Shui... is behind me?

No, no.

Someone of their stature, so busy with countless affairs, how could they possibly sit here waiting for me for over two hours?

Qin Bai winked at the silly fish, who smiled and nodded.

That's confirmed now.

The person is right behind you.

Have you lost all hope?

Luckily, I don't usually talk in my sleep. If I had said something unpleasant, I'd probably be playing poker with sharks in the ocean right now.

Qin Bai slowly turned his head and looked at Yu Shui, whose face was dark.

"Hello Uncle Yu, when will you...?"

Yu Shui waved his hand: "Don't give me that. Hurry up and get off the plane. The food at home is ready. Don't waste so much time here."

He got up and walked outside.

Yu Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue at Qin Bai and quickly followed Yu Shui to his side.

Holding his arm, Yu Shui couldn't stop smiling after only a few words.

Qin Bai shook his head and sighed. Sure enough, this fish had the best solution.

He didn't think he had enough influence to make Yu Shui wait so long; it was all thanks to Daidaiyu.

After returning to the villa.

Looking at the table full of delicacies, Qin Bai smacked his lips.

I can't compare to these rich people. Look at what they eat, and then look at myself. The difference is just too big.

At the dinner table, Lu Qianxia kept pulling Yu Xiaoyu aside to chat about everyday things.

Qin Bai knew Yu Shui's habit: they rarely discussed official matters during meals, preferring to talk about everything after the meal.

More than an hour later.

Yu Shui and Qin Bai sat facing each other in the tea room.

Qin Bai skillfully fiddled with the tea set. He had spent a lot of time with Pei Wanyin recently, and his skills in this area had improved considerably.

Yu Xiao picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"It's alright, but the heat is a little lacking."

Qin Bai was slightly taken aback; there was a hidden meaning in those words.

He respectfully poured another cup of tea and presented it with both hands.

"Uncle Yu, may I ask what aspect of the heat is being measured?"

"Hehe, you might not want to listen to what I'm saying, so why waste your time?"

"How could that be? I will heed your teachings."

Qin Bai sat up straight, like a primary school student listening attentively to a lecture.

Such opportunities are rare. He has mostly figured things out on his own along the way, and few people have taught him how to do things.

Yu Shui stared at him for a while, then put down her teacup.

Do you know what you're lacking right now?

Qin Bai thought for a moment: "Time?"

Yu Shui shook his head and smiled, "Time can always be found if you squeeze it out, especially for young people like you, who have no shortage of time."

What is that?

"foundation".

Qin Bai didn't quite understand what he meant. Isn't a foundation built up over time?

"Since you're willing to listen, then I'll tell you."

"I advise you to give up the idea of ​​destroying the Luo family."

"You can't, at least not now."

Qin Bai frowned slightly: "Actually, it's not a matter of whether I want to or not, but that the Luo family will never let me go."

Yu Shui waved his hand, his tone becoming slightly more serious.

"Qin Bai, you seem to have misunderstood something."

"This has nothing to do with whether the Luo family will give up or not; it's that you shouldn't have any thoughts of opposing the Luo family."

"Do you really think the Luo family is as simple as it seems on the surface?"

"How could you possibly challenge a family with such a rich history?"

"You underestimate the strength of the Luo family."

Qin Bai lowered his head slightly, carefully considering what Yu Shui had said.

It is undeniable.

Yu Shui is right.

He is indeed no match for the Luo family now, but the problem is that Luo He keeps pursuing him.

Whether it's targeting Luo Qingyan or Ling Xiangxue, this has crossed his bottom line.

He has the patience and composure to endure; he's got that kind of character and shrewdness.

Will the Keluo River really give him that time?

The answer is no.

Therefore, Qin Bai has been investing heavily in various industries in order to develop as quickly as possible.

Yu Shui took a sip of tea.

He continued, "If it weren't for Xiaoyu's sake, I wouldn't be saying all this to you today."
