Grandpa Bai's 80th birthday celebration was a very lively affair.
Even though Xia Muge was here, he got to know many important people in high positions.
These important figures had all benefited from Old Master Bai's kindness and are now considered part of the Bai family's network. However, everyone knows that after Old Master Bai's death, how much of this favor will remain is an unknown.
The Qin family and the Bai family had a good relationship, and Qin Shuhua stayed with the old man and did not leave.
A hint of surprise flashed in Xia Muge's eyes.
Qin Shuhua's character has almost no screen time in the story, but according to the information he investigated, she is actually highly valued by Old Master Bai, who said on many occasions that he wanted to recognize Qin Shuhua as his goddaughter.
Of course, how much of this is genuine remains to be seen.
It's an open secret that the Bai family has no next generation.
Old Master Bai wanted to use kinship to bind Qin Shuhua and get the Qin family to take care of the Bai family more.
Qin Shuhua was also fully aware of this.
Xia Muge sat with Qin Shuhua for a while, then exchanged pleasantries with Old Master Bai before leaving.
The Xia family and the Bai family had no connection whatsoever.
Grandpa Bai watched Xia Muge's departing figure and couldn't help but feel envious.
If his grandson had half of Xia Muge's abilities, he wouldn't have invited so many people to his 80th birthday celebration.
When Mr. Bai was in power, he helped many people.
Who would have thought that their own next generation would be so useless, leaving them to rely on the help of these people?
And he also knew that people's hearts were the most unreliable thing.
The Bai family's wealth is too great.
unless……
Looking at Bai Ling, Old Master Bai suddenly had an idea.
…
…
"Ms. Xia, let me show you around here."
Bai Ling's voice was like a clear lark, chirping and chattering at Xia Muge.
Xia Muge looked at the pretty girl in front of him and said with a smile, "Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome. I haven't thanked you enough about the jade matter yet."
Bai Ling's eyes were bright, like those of an innocent young girl.
The third generation of the Bai family were mostly unsuccessful, but Bai Ling was much better than her brothers and sisters.
She was raised with a naive and innocent personality. While her other cousins frequented bars, she focused on her studies.
However, Mr. Bai was a traditional man and had no intention of handing over the family business to a girl.
Therefore, Bai Ling was not groomed as a successor, but only received some shares to secure her livelihood.
Bai Ling knew perfectly well that given the current situation of the Bai family, her greatest role was to be married off to someone she didn't like, so that that person would take care of the Bai family.
But can they really be taken care of by relying on such an unstable marital relationship?
Grandpa still underestimated people's true nature.
It's not the same era as when he valued loyalty anymore.
Bai Ling is actually very perceptive.
"It was just a small favor, so I'm actually the one who profited," Xia Muge smiled.
He has no use for the imperial green jade; it can't be eaten or drunk, so he might as well enjoy it himself.
This is not his fault.
To put it bluntly, although he inherited the plot and memories of this body, he is not a rich person in essence.
Xia Muge finds it hard to understand how wealthy people spend money on jade and other luxury goods.
Therefore, the more accurate description of him now is a nouveau riche.
Bai Ling smiled and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, I rarely hear about you in front of Sister Shuhua. I only know that you are Sister Shuhua's fiancé."
"Hmm, you and Sister Shuhua don't get along very well?"
"Not really." Xia Muge thought for a moment and said, "Shuhua and I have a good relationship, but the engagement was arranged by our two families. I just haven't had much contact with her. It only started recently."
His relationship with Qin Shuhua progressed very quickly.
Now the two can go to the movie theater to kiss and hug during their free time.
However, Qin Shuhua is a somewhat intellectual and traditional woman, so Xia Muge doesn't insist on taking it to the final step right away.
Anyway, whenever he needed to vent, he would go to Yunjingyuan to find Muyun. That vixen was incredibly persistent.
Bai Ling: "Hmm, okay."
"Sister Shuhua is a very good person, so don't let her down."
Bai Ling's words made Xia Muge feel awkward.
He wanted to say that he had already let Qin Shuhua down.
Xia Muge changed the subject, saying, "Grandpa's birthday banquet was very lively this time."
Bai Ling nodded: "Yes."
She said softly, "Grandpa's health has never been very good, and he's always worried about the family. The reason for holding this birthday banquet is actually to ask those uncles and aunts to take good care of the Bai family, so that I can find a good husband."
She's very sensitive.
Bai Ling was well aware of the Bai family's situation; this 80th birthday celebration was an opportunity to "sell" her out.
The Bai family has three daughters, but the other two have less than good reputations.
Women who smoke, drink, and frequent nightclubs are not allowed into the homes of wealthy families of similar stature.
Otherwise, the household will be in turmoil.
Those wealthy families, much smaller than the Bai family, didn't care about such things. But those people were there for money, and associating with them meant the Bai family would be ripped off.
It did not meet Old Master Bai's expectations.
Therefore, Grandpa Bai had no expectations for his two granddaughters at all, and he wouldn't care even if they married beggars.
However, Bai Ling is different.
Bai Ling has the best reputation and is the most favored in the Bai family.
Everyone knows that marrying Bai Ling would allow one to form a powerful alliance with the Bai family.
