Ruiguo is the Yuan family's stronghold, and also the place the Bai family is going to this time.
Upon hearing Xiao Yuan's question, Xiao's father showed a look of disgust, and then spoke:
"If you want to go, just say so. Everyone knows that meeting is not important at all."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yuan awkwardly touched his nose. If he wasn't worried that he wasn't qualified to go see Zhizhi's maternal grandfather, would he have gone through all this trouble?
His awkward appearance amused Bai Qingzhi and her parents.
As early as last night after returning to their room, Bai's parents discussed it and decided that if Xiao Yuan was willing, they would bring him along this time.
After all, as Qingzhi's fiancé, it is both reasonable and logical for him to reveal his identity.
"Xiao Yuan, would you be willing to accompany Qingzhi to meet my father as her fiancé?" Mother Bai asked.
In an instant, Xiao Yuan raised his head, his eyes filled with surprise.
Xiao Yuan's mother nudged him with her elbow, and Xiao Yuan nodded repeatedly as if waking from a dream.
Bai Qingzhi was completely stunned by this scene. The two families had made this decision so easily? Had no one even asked for his opinion?
However, she quickly reassured herself that if her mother asked her, she would probably agree.
Moreover, by then it would seem as if she were actively inviting him, eager to establish a relationship with Xiao Yuan.
That would be even more awkward for her.
The plane was ready in an hour. The Bai family had already eaten breakfast, leaving only Bai Qingzhi.
Originally, her family wanted to wait for her to finish eating before leaving, but Bai Qingzhi really couldn't accept the sight of so many people waiting for her, so she suggested bringing food on the plane.
The proposal was quickly approved. To ensure she didn't eat well, the three Bai brothers each carried a large bag filled with all sorts of snacks and treats.
Bai Qingzhi could eat it anytime she wanted, as long as she reached out her hand.
China is not close to Switzerland; even by plane, it takes about six hours to fly there.
Luckily, it was a private jet, so I could lie down for a while if I got tired of sitting.
After Bai Qingzhi returned to the Bai family, the laziness that had been lurking inside her resurfaced. She slept until noon every day and would lounge on the sofa whenever she had nothing to do.
This relaxed state of mind surprised even herself.
Because the threat from the En family was still present, the Bai family did not release the news that Bai Qingzhi was still alive, and very few people in the entire City A knew that she was still alive.
As soon as Xiao's mother returned home, she received many invitations from wealthy ladies. Having nothing else to do, she went to accept the invitations that afternoon.
However, most of these wives brought their daughters with them, and those without daughters brought their nieces or other young female relatives.
With just one glance, Xiao's mother realized the intentions of these people and felt somewhat displeased, but she did not show it on her face.
Finally, the topic turned to Xiao Yuan. Before the ladies could elaborate, Xiao's mother deliberately let out a heavy sigh.
“My eldest son has already seen through the vanities of the world and has recently been inquiring about Lingyin Temple. It’s really worrying me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, all the wealthy ladies froze in shock.
Is Xiao Yuan going to become a monk?
"But let nature take its course. I already have two grandsons. My eldest grandson is definitely being groomed as the heir. As long as Xiao Yuan is safe and sound, I don't care." As she said this, Xiao's mother excitedly wiped away non-existent tears.
The wealthy women were even more dumbfounded. There was an heir?
"However, perhaps I will choose a wife for Xiao Yuan in the future, but it will probably be a marriage in name only, just a title." After saying the last sentence, Xiao's mother picked up her coffee and drank it, without looking at the expressions of the others.
The remaining people looked at each other, their purpose today was obvious. What if Mrs. Xiao took a fancy to a girl from another family during this break?
Even if Xiao Yuan doesn't accept her, if Mrs. Xiao takes a liking to her, becoming Mrs. Xiao is just around the corner.
The man is currently still hung up on the Bai family's adopted daughter, but given time and his mother's encouragement, it's only a matter of time before he settles down.
If they have another child or daughter, given Xiao Yuan's current status, with proper upbringing, there's an 80% chance they'll inherit the Xiao family's business in the future.
Wouldn't their business rise along with the tide, and their own business would surely soar to new heights!
Of course, these were all just the imaginations of those wealthy women, but upon hearing Xiao's mother's words, their carefully laid plans instantly shattered.
And with a bang, it splashed their delusions all over their faces.
One by one, they showed embarrassed expressions and looked dejected. Seeing this, Xiao's mother was happy.
Xiao Yuan was completely unaware of what was happening here, and even less aware that the news of his intention to become a monk had already spread throughout City A.
As the plane approached Switzerland, Bai Mu visibly tensed up.
Even more nervous than her was Mr. Yuan, who knew his daughter was coming back today and started packing early in the morning.
First, the servants were instructed to clean the villa inside and out, and then they were asked to thoroughly clean their daughter's room, even though the room had been cleaned every day for over twenty years.
After doing all that, he found all his clothes and had his servants line them up. He tried on each piece to see which one looked the best.
He even hired a stylist to do his hair.
The family cook started preparing the ingredients yesterday. They were all things that Bai's mother liked to eat, and even some of the snacks that Bai's mother used to rave about when he was a child.
In Mr. Yuan's heart, even though Bai's mother has now given birth to four children, she is still the simple and beautiful little girl in his heart.
However, Mr. Yuan did not forget his grandchildren and prepared some food for them. However, he decisively ignored his son-in-law, Mr. Bai.
It's already a favor that he came; what more could you ask for?
Seeing the time, Mr. Yuan could not wait any longer and decisively asked the driver to take him to the airport.
The driver was an old man who had followed him around and watched Bai's mother grow up, so he knew exactly what the boss had been feeling all these years.
"Boss, Miss's plane doesn't arrive for another five hours," the driver reminded him helplessly.
Mr. Yuan waved his hand, disagreeing with the answer:
"What if the plane arrives early? She hasn't been back for so many years, she definitely won't be able to find her way home."
As each plane landed, Mr. Yuan would get up and go to check on it.
It wasn't until after 5 p.m. that the plane carrying Bai Qingzhi and her family finally arrived in Switzerland.
Even though she hadn't been back for many years, Bai's mother recognized the driver who was with her father at a glance.
Immediately afterward, an elderly man in a hurry walked over from not far away.
The moment their eyes met, Bai's mother finally couldn't hold back her tears.
She quickly stepped forward and, crying, knelt down on the ground.
At this moment, she felt immense regret. Even if she was afraid that her father would not forgive her, she shouldn't have stayed away for so many years.
