Just then, the cell phone rang.
Bai Qianmo took her phone out of her purse, glanced at the caller ID, and then looked at the time on the phone.
"Chen Xiang, how much longer until we arrive?"
When Mr. Tang calls at this time, he's definitely urging her to hurry up.
"After you cross that intersection, it's about a five-minute walk from there."
"kindness!"
Bai Qianmo answered the phone.
"Hey, where are you?"
"We'll be there in five minutes."
Upon hearing that Bai Qianmo would arrive soon, Old Tang glanced at the other three old men in the room.
"Did you bring a few with you?"
The three old men were all staring at Old Tang making the phone call, trying to eavesdrop on any useful information.
Old Bai wanted to hear what his granddaughter had to say.
Elder Gu and Elder Qin wanted to hear Ye Bai's voice so they could judge his age from it.
However, being an older person, one has to admit that time waits for no one.
I didn't hear a single word.
*
Qin Lin and Lisa arrived at the Tang family art exhibition right on time.
Qin Lin's arrival sparked a flurry of flattery and conversation among a group of wealthy women.
Who is this?
A noblewoman's gaze fell on Lisa's face.
Today, Lisa wore a deep purple strapless gown adorned with delicate crystals and diamonds. The diamonds reflected the color of the dress, and under the bright lights of the exhibition hall, her gown shone with a dazzling and radiant beauty.
Her tall, well-proportioned figure, snow-white skin, exquisite features, and perfect oval face made this woman, whose lineage was clearly distinguishable, the focus of the entire event.
Many young men's eyes never left Lisa after she appeared.
Everyone was curious about the woman's identity.
However, just from this custom-made diamond-encrusted dress, one can guess that this girl is someone of great importance. Moreover, she is accompanied by Qin Lin, the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, which is known as the number one family.
Qin Lin smiled as she looked at Lisa, and seeing her graceful demeanor and smiling face, which exuded the air of a noble lady, she was very satisfied.
"She is my friend, Miss Lisa."
"Miss Lisa is of mixed race, isn't she? She's really beautiful."
“My grandfather was Chinese, and my Chinese name is Gu Ying.”
"Gu Ying, what a beautiful name. Just like your appearance, so pure and sparkling."
"You flatter me."
On the surface, the group of women were exchanging polite compliments, but in their hearts they were already racking their brains to recall the events.
Which ancient family in the capital is this young lady from?
Apart from the four major families, there seem to be no other prominent families with the surname Gu.
However, it's not surprising that some low-profile and mysterious families exist in a place like the capital.
Moreover, she came with Qin Lin, and being able to stand next to Qin Lin shows that she is not an ordinary person.
"Has Master Ye Bai arrived?" Qin Lin's biggest concern right now was whether Ye Bai had appeared.
"No, Elder Tang took Elder Gu and the others to the second floor. We don't know if Master Ye Bai will show up. We were just talking about it. Even if Master Ye Bai himself doesn't come, his works should at least be displayed for us to admire. But now that he hasn't come, we haven't seen a single piece of his work."
Qin Lin frowned: "Is that really true? Lisa, come on, let's go upstairs and take a look."
When the Tang family saw that it was Qin Lin who had arrived, they naturally did not stop her.
However, I gave them a heads-up in advance.
Qin Lin walked into the VIP room and glanced at the several old men.
"Dad, you two are here too."
They called each other "father-in-law" and "biological father."
Qin Lin was somewhat surprised that the two of them would come to see Ye Bai's art exhibition.
"Yes, your Uncle Tang invited us to come and see what's going on," Old Qin said with a smile.
"Why are you here too?"
Qin Lin smiled and sat down next to Old Qin, then waved to Lisa, who was standing obediently to the side.
"Lisa, come here quickly."
At this moment, the eyes of the old men in the room all turned to Lisa.
Seeing that the girl in front of them looked like she was of mixed race, a hint of suspicion flashed in the cloudy but wise eyes of both Old Master Gu and Old Master Qin.
Who is this?
"Her name is Lisa, and she is the daughter of the Gu family in Country Y."
"Which ancient family?" Old Tang's expression changed slightly.
"She is Count Gusen's granddaughter."
"Is it that hereditary countess?"
"Yes, she is the countess's granddaughter." Qin Lin nodded.
Old Tang responded, staring thoughtfully at Lisa's face.
"Your grandfather's name is Furukawa, right?"
A look of surprise flashed across Lisa's amber eyes.
"You know my grandfather?"
"Hehe, you could say we know each other." Old Tang waved his hand, not wanting to talk about it any further.
Qin Lin didn't think much of it and looked around the room.
"Is Master Ye Bai coming today?"
"It's on its way," said Old Tang.
After Qin Lin entered, Old Master Bai drank his tea expressionlessly.
His drooping eyelids remained motionless, as if he hadn't seen the person at all.
Qin Lin naturally recognized the old man in front of her as Bai Qianmo's grandfather.
In her eyes, Old Master Bai was not someone she could treat differently.
Moreover, with both Old Master Gu and her biological father present, either of these two gentlemen could easily elevate Old Master Bai's status.
In front of Elder Bai, a thought flashed through Qin Lin's mind.
“Speaking of which, Lisa and I are really destined to meet. A few days ago, I went to get a beauty treatment and encountered a thief who snatched my purse on the way. It was Lisa who bravely stepped forward and stopped the hateful thief without regard for the danger. Otherwise, I would have had to reissue all the documents in my bag.”
