If he had known that the person's target was a child, he would never have agreed to it.
Xiao Yuan knew the other party wouldn't tell him who it was, so he simply stopped asking.
"I will not let this go."
"I know, it was just to repay a favor to him back then. Now that the favor is over, what happens to him in the future is none of my business," Qi Shang replied very seriously.
Watching Qi Shang's retreating figure, Xiao Yuan's lips curled into a smile.
Now that we know that person has connections with Qi Shang, why are we afraid of not being able to find him?
He used to be like a headless fly when he was investigating, but now that he has found this intersection, the person behind it is not far from surfacing.
Qi Shang is much easier to investigate than that person.
Qi Shang is gone, but Xiao Qiangwei remains.
When Xiao Yuan returned, he saw her holding Niu Niu.
“Now I suddenly feel that having a child is pretty good,” Xiao Qiangwei said while teasing Niu Niu.
Everyone present could see what she was thinking. Xiao's mother didn't know much about Qi Shang, but she thought her sister-in-law was a good person, so she naturally hoped that she could consider it.
Just as he was about to advise her to open her eyes, Xiao Yuan suddenly spoke up.
"I think you want to have a child with Qi Shang, don't you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.
The servants were all suppressing their laughter, while Xiao's mother glared at her son through gritted teeth.
Couldn't he have been more tactful?
Xiao Qiangwei has a very straightforward personality. Although she was a little embarrassed about this, she didn't hide it and nodded decisively, saying that was right.
"He's not the right person to be with." Xiao Yuan's assessment was always so sharp.
Xiao Qiangwei rolled her eyes and then retorted in disagreement.
"Yes, that's you. You've liked someone for so long but you haven't even dared to say a word."
Bai Qingzhi, who had just finished playing a game and put down her phone, heard these words at the door, smiled quietly, and went back inside.
Xiao Qiangwei stayed until very late that day, and it was already dark when she returned.
And she kept pulling Xiao Yuan aside to ask him about Qi Shang.
Helpless, Xiao Yuan and the others returned to the bedroom to find Bai Qingzhi already asleep, curled up on the sofa with her face flushed from sleep.
Afraid of waking her, Xiao Yuan sat quietly on the floor next to the sofa, gazing intently at her sleeping face.
When Bai Qingzhi opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Yuan trying to suppress his cough. He put his hand to his lips, trying his best to keep his voice down.
"Isn't it uncomfortable to bear it?" Bai Qingzhi sat up and handed him the water glass with disapproval.
"I was afraid of bothering you, but I didn't want to leave, so I had to bear with it," Xiao Yuan replied with a smile.
It was getting late, so Bai Qingzhi stayed at the Xiao family's house.
Nuan Nuan kicked Xiao Yangjing out, and the two sisters stayed together and talked for most of the night.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yangjing reluctantly moved into the guest room and tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
Suddenly, he sat up abruptly and stormed out of the room.
While looking at the company's financial report, Xiao Yuan suddenly heard footsteps approaching.
Surprised, I looked up and saw my younger brother standing at the door, looking resentful.
"Are you looking for a beating for staying up so late?" Xiao Yuan glanced at him and then lowered his head again.
He wasn't even given a glance.
"When will you marry Bai Qingzhi?" Xiao Yangjing asked as he walked in.
"What, are you going to give a gift?" Xiao Yuan asked back.
"She's taken my wife! Now she's all lovey-dovey with my wife, leaving me all alone! You better marry her and give my wife back to me!" Xiao Yangjing angrily sat on the bed, only to be kicked off by Xiao Yuan.
He wanted to marry Zhizhi, but the problem was that the Bai family had to give him the opportunity!
But he definitely wouldn't say that.
Xiao Yuan shut down his computer, looked at Xiao Yangjing on the ground, and his eyes were filled with mockery.
"Who was it that said Lin Nuannuan wasn't good enough for him? And to prove his charm, he changed girlfriends every few days."
The mention of the past darkened Xiao Yangjing's face completely, and he decisively stood up and walked out.
However, Xiao Yangjing was not one to back down from his brother's earlier mockery. Standing at the door, he suddenly turned around and said:
"That's right, I just don't dare to admit my feelings, unlike some people who know their feelings but dare not do anything, and spend all day secretly observing from behind, like a stalker!"
After saying that, he ran away without looking back.
This time, it was Xiao Yuan's turn to have his face darken.
It seems my time at this company wasn't wasted; it even made me a bit bolder.
However, Xiao Yangjing's words really spurred him on. Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes and began to seriously consider how to quickly marry Zhizhi.
Waiting for the Bai family to relent is no longer an option; the Bai family would rather not let her get married at all.
The next day, after lunch, Bai Qingzhi returned to the Bai family home. As soon as she entered the house, she saw a strange man sitting in the living room.
The man was probably in his forties, with a constant smile on his face, but his eyes were very sharp.
Subconsciously, Bai Qingzhi spoke up.
"Uncle, Mr. Bai asked me to come back and retrieve the document for the South City land."
The entire Bai family behaved normally, and Bai's father was not surprised at all when he heard this. He nodded and let her go by herself.
Once Bai Qingzhi's figure was out of sight, the man smiled and said:
"President Bai really trusts this niece."
Company leaders in high positions rarely allow others into their study.
"Mr. Yu, you're joking. This child's parents died in an accident, and I've been supporting her since she was little. I treat her no differently than my own daughter," Mr. Bai replied, waving his hand.
The visitor was none other than Yu He.
"I've heard that President Bai has two daughters. They must be very outstanding, right?" Yu He asked knowingly.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Bai's face darkened, and his eyes reddened as if he had recalled something painful.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Yu He understood and stopped asking.
The reason why Bai's father didn't speak was because his hand was pinching his thigh under the table, and he was afraid that if he spoke, he would cry out in pain and give himself away.
Bai Qingzhi found the document in the study and left, politely nodding to the two before departing.
She couldn't have mistaken the look in her father's eyes before she came out.
He took out his phone and sent a message to Xiao Yuan.
Upon receiving this message, Xiao Yuan made a phone call.
"Yu He is here, we can proceed."
There will be a bidding conference three days later. Yu He only said that he was there for this bidding, but his specific purpose was unknown.
This time it's a construction project on a plot of land. The Bai family had someone estimate the potential profits, and their involvement is just a formality.
But Yu's attitude after coming here this time was completely different, as if he was determined to get this land.
After learning of this news, the Xiao family, who had already decided to take action against him, immediately had someone reassess him that very night.
The final result remained unchanged.
"Have the project team plan the land use, prepare a tender document, and then contact the tender office to say that the Xiao family also wants to participate in the bidding."
This time, he did it in the name of the Xiao family.
