Bai's mother knelt upright, and Yuan Lao hurriedly helped her up, tears welling in his eyes.
Mr. Bai's feelings were somewhat complicated; ultimately, it was still his fault.
If he had been bolder back then and taken the initiative to apologize to the Yuan family and propose marriage, his father-in-law and wife wouldn't have had such a long-standing estrangement.
Thinking of this, Bai's father also knelt down respectfully.
With their parents kneeling, it was impossible for the Bai family's children to remain standing, especially Xiao Yuan. Although he wasn't officially the Bai family's son-in-law yet, he knelt down to show respect to Elder Yuan.
A group of people knelt down at the airport. Yuan Lao's face is a household name in Switzerland, so people coming and going were more curious than surprised.
But they quickly remembered what the media had reported and guessed that it was Mr. Yuan's daughter who had returned, so they took out their phones to take pictures.
Without any media coverage, the topic of Mr. Yuan's parents reuniting became a trending topic.
Only then did the others realize that Bai's mother was actually Yuan Lao's daughter.
"It's good that my child is back. Get up and let's go home." Old Yuan wiped away his tears and then pulled his daughter up.
After seeing Bai's mother stand up, Old Yuan went to Bai Qingzhi and her brother and helped them up one by one.
Finally, he looked at Bai's father, his eyes revealing a complex expression.
After a dozen seconds, Elder Yuan sighed slightly and awkwardly asked him to get up.
Mr. Bai's face instantly lit up with joy; he knew this was a sign that his father-in-law had accepted him.
After saying "Thank you, Dad!" loudly, Mr. Bai got up happily, like a child who had received a reward, and walked to Mrs. Bai's side.
Mr. Yuan only glanced at him, then walked to his daughter's side and whispered something.
Several cars arrived outside, and Bai Qingzhi was surprised when she saw them. Although she didn't know much about cars, she could tell that these were all limited editions, and some of them couldn't be bought just by having money.
This was the first time Bai Qingzhi felt that the Yuan family's strength was indeed very high.
It took more than an hour to reach the Yuan family's villa. To Bai Qingzhi's surprise, the villa looked quite ordinary, with a land area similar to that of the Bai family's villa.
But once she went inside, she knew the difference between the two.
The room was filled with famous paintings and historical artifacts, and the items on display were priceless antiques from auctions. Even the teacups were a set of Ming Dynasty porcelain.
It was afternoon, and the chef had already begun preparing dinner. During this time, Mr. Yuan had many snacks brought out, and Bai Qingzhi recognized them as her mother's favorites.
"This must be Qinghuai, right?" Old Yuan focused his gaze on Bai Qinghuai.
Bai Qinghuai stood up respectfully, bowed, and greeted him. Yuan Lao's kind smile deepened.
“I often see you on the news. You’re young and promising, a good kid.” After saying that, Mr. Yuan took out a box.
He prepared a gift for everyone.
"Grandpa gave this to you, take it," Bai's mother said with a smile.
"And this one, this is Qingze. I've seen his movies, he's very talented," Mr. Yuan continued with satisfaction.
When he arrived at Bai Qingyu's place, Yuan Lao didn't say much, but he still praised her. In addition, Bai Qingyu's sweet words made Yuan Lao even happier.
Finally, they arrived at Bai Qinghuan's place. Old Yuan knew that this child had only recently returned to the Bai family and had suffered a lot outside.
"Good child, you've suffered so much all these years. This is what your grandpa prepared for you. Take a look and see if you like it." He then handed over a file folder.
After learning that his granddaughter was missing, Mr. Yuan had investigated, but since she was not in China, even with his great influence, there were still inconveniences.
They even found fewer cases than the Bai family.
Bai Qinghuan picked up the file folder, opened it, took out the thick stack of documents inside, and then nervously said no.
This is a company under Mr. Yuan's name, which was directly transferred to Bai Qinghuan.
This company is quite large, and it's a collaboration between Switzerland and China, so its value is self-evident.
“Take it if I give it to you. You’ve suffered so much outside. It’s the Bai family’s fault for not taking good care of you. Your grandfather is making it up to you!” After saying that, Old Yuan secretly glared at Bai’s father.
Mr. Bai naturally dared not refute, and awkwardly touched his nose.
Bai Qingzhi sat on the sofa with her head down. She knew her own identity and never thought that Elder Yuan would treat her as a member of the Bai family.
After all, these wealthy families place the utmost importance on lineage.
But just as she was getting nervous, she felt a gaze fall on her.
"Is this Qingzhi?" It was Elder Yuan's voice.
Bai Qingzhi immediately stood up, greeting everyone nervously while fidgeting with her hands.
Xiao Yuan sat down next to her and gently patted her back.
"Aunt Jiang and the others always praise you to me, and seeing you today, it's just as they said."
"Thank you, Grandpa," Bai Qingzhi said softly.
Old Yuan already knew about Bai Qingzhi's situation, and his eyes were filled with pity.
"See if you like the gift your grandpa prepared for you."
Bai Qingzhi looked up, smiled sweetly, and then reached out to take it.
Then his eyes widened in surprise.
"Grandpa knows your passion is jewelry design. This company is one of the world's top three jewelry design giants. From now on, you will not only have free access to it, but you will also be able to participate as a member of their board of directors."
Although Mr. Yuan's business did not involve jewelry design, he still invested heavily in a large company after learning about Bai Qingzhi's preferences.
He didn't understand this, but seeing Bai Qingzhi's reaction today, Yuan Lao felt that he had done the right thing.
"Grandpa, being a council member is too prestigious. I'll just take the role of an advisor," Bai Qingzhi said hesitantly.
This was undoubtedly a great gift to her.
"If their company hadn't refused to sell, my grandfather would have wanted to buy it." At this point, Old Yuan's face showed displeasure.
He was indeed aiming to acquire the company, but no matter how much he offered, the other party refused to sell. He had no choice but to switch to equity participation.
"Dad, your habit of throwing money at people hasn't changed after all these years!" Mrs. Bai said helplessly.
"A problem that can be solved with money isn't a problem." Old Yuan waved his hand dismissively, finally turning his gaze to Xiao Yuan.
He knew more about this young man; he was even more talented in business than his eldest grandson, handsome, from a respectable family, and most importantly, he treated Qingzhi well.
Therefore, Yuan Lao had no objection to Xiao Yuan.
As usual, I gave him the gift, and then quietly warned him to treat his granddaughter better. It was almost time.
Today is a big day, and Mr. Yuan directly notified both the main and collateral branches of the Yuan family to come together.
The Yuan family was quite large, and more than a hundred people arrived within an hour. Although they all appeared happy about Bai's mother returning home, only they knew what they were really thinking.
Since Old Yuan has no son, if Bai's mother doesn't return, the Yuan family's large business will definitely need to choose a person to take charge.
