The phone's photo album contained more than a dozen photos, all taken secretly.
However, since it was a candid shot, they were naturally very careful. So most of the photos only showed a quarter of Xuan Mingyu's profile from a distance, making it impossible to see what he actually looked like. Many times, the photos only showed his bodyguards, who couldn't get close at all.
The only clearest picture is of Hsien Ming-yu sitting at his desk, looking down attentively at a document. Although his face isn't visible, it's still captivating. He has a face more handsome than many young male actors on TV, with a high nose bridge, tightly pursed thin lips, long and beautiful fingers, and you can vaguely see his curled eyelashes. His focused work demeanor makes many female employees in the company infatuated.
However, Bai Xiaoruo didn't pay too much attention to the photos. There were plenty of handsome guys at her school, so she just looked and enjoyed the view. She wouldn't have any interaction with people like that anyway.
Bai Xiaoruo was more focused on the time displayed on her phone.
It's already 1 p.m., this is terrible. If I don't hurry over to Grandma's, I won't be able to get back for dinner tonight.
"Sister Annie, um, I still need to take another portion of snacks to Grandpa and Grandma. I'll come see you again when I have time. I'm really sorry to bother you today."
"Huh? You're leaving already? I haven't even finished looking at the photos yet. At least give me your opinion on whether he's handsome or not. I have other handsome guys' photos that I haven't shown you."
"Yeah, so handsome! Sister Annie, I'm really sorry, I have to go now."
Bai Xiaoruo hurriedly left with the box in her hand, leaving Annie alone sitting in the house.
Why is Xiaoru in such a rush? You can send some snacks to your grandparents next time. This is the first time I've seen a girl swooning over the boss's photos... But Xiaoru is still young. Maybe young girls these days don't like mature types and prefer pretty boys.
***
Bai Xiaoruo transferred three buses in a row, and it took her nearly an hour and a half to finally arrive at the Xuan family's old house.
Everyone in the old house had seen Bai Xiaoruo before, so they opened the door for her and let her in.
As soon as Lin Suqing saw Bai Xiaoruo, she smiled and quickly pulled her to sit down. She then asked the servants to prepare food and drinks for her and found her a towel to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
It's hot outside, and the sun is strong. Bai Xiaoruo has been running around like this for a while, so she's naturally sweating a lot.
"Little Ruo, you really are something. You didn't even tell Grandma you were coming. You must be so hot. Why don't you go upstairs and take a shower to feel better?"
"No need, Grandma, I'll just sit for a while. I don't need to take a bath."
When Bai Xiaoruo called Lin Suqing yesterday, she only said that she would come to visit her today, but did not say the exact time. Although Lin Suqing missed Bai Xiaoruo very much, she was afraid of disturbing her daily routine, so she did not ask the driver to pick her up. However, she did not expect that Bai Xiaoruo would come by bus by herself.
Buses are such a bumpy and poorly ventilated mode of transportation. It must be so uncomfortable to sit on one of those bumpy rides for so long.
As for Bai Xiaoruo's background and all the information, Lin Suqing and Xian Zhengsen had already sent people to investigate and find out a week ago. Bai Xiaoruo is indeed Bai Minglei's biological daughter and the heiress of the Bai Group. However, for some reason, the Bai family has never publicly revealed Bai Xiaoruo's identity over the years, nor has it ever brought her out in public.
Back then, Fengqing Group was the most prominent large enterprise in L City, while Bai's Group was just an insignificant small company. The marriage between Fengqing Group and Bai's Group was actually due to an affair between Feng Lan'er, the daughter of the Feng family, and Bai Minglei, where she became pregnant out of wedlock. The two families were forced to become in-laws. The wedding was held in a low-key manner, with only a few close relatives and friends invited. After all, being pregnant out of wedlock was not a respectable thing in those days.
So even now, many people don't know that the wife currently by Bai Minglei's side is actually his second marriage, which took place not long after he was widowed.
Bai Xiaoruo is the daughter born to Feng Lan'er out of wedlock.
To outsiders, Feng Lan'er and Bai Minglei had a very good relationship. However, after Feng Lan'er's sudden death ten years ago, Grandpa Feng suffered a huge blow overnight and became demented. He is now living out his days in a nursing home.
But Bai Minglei showed no grief for his deceased wife and married a new wife just a few days later.
After Old Master Feng developed dementia, the share transfer agreement was tampered with, making Bai Minglei the largest shareholder of Fengqing Group. It was thought that Bai Minglei would remember his past relationship with his former father-in-law and deceased wife and continue to develop Fengqing Group. However, a few years later, Fengqing Group was completely emptied out and all of it was transferred to the Bai Group.
The Feng family suffered a complete defeat, while the Bai Group emerged as the ultimate winner.
Among those who witnessed all these ups and downs were Hsien Cheng-sen and Lin Su-ching.
Old Master Feng had shown them kindness in their youth, but until now, because they have been unable to find conclusive evidence that Bai Minglei had harmed Feng Lan'er, Old Master Feng, and the Fengqing Group, they can only temporarily let Bai Minglei run rampant.
A few years ago, Xian Zhengsen and Lin Suqing visited Grandpa Feng at the nursing home. Unfortunately, Grandpa Feng had become demented and could not recognize anyone. They could not hear a single serious word from him. Xian Zhengsen had no choice but to give up the idea of finding clues from Grandpa Feng.
As Hsien Cheng-sen grew older, he often found himself unable to keep up with the times. After returning to L City from the United States, he rarely managed the family affairs himself anymore, leaving them to his two sons. However, he did not slack off in managing the various companies in L City. For this reason, he transferred his most capable eldest grandson, Hsien Ming-yu, back to L City two years ago.
