Yu Bai took the thick stack of invoices without even raising his eyelids. He just flipped through them twice symbolically, and his fingertips lightly slid across the papers with bright red official seals, making a slight rustling sound.
She handed over the invoice without even looking at the staggering figures.
"Uncle," her voice was as calm as a pool of deep water, without a single ripple. "I've taken a rough look at these bills. There's nothing wrong with them. I'll transfer the money to you later."
After hearing Yu Bai's words, Yu Dongshun's heart, which had been beating fast, finally settled down.
The wrinkles on his face instantly smoothed out, and his smile became more sincere than before, less of a deliberate flattery and more of genuine joy.
It was as if a huge rock pressing on my chest had been removed, and even my breathing became much smoother.
"Oh, that's great! That's great!"
Yu Dongshun rubbed his hands, and his voice became a little lighter.
"Xiaobai, you're really straightforward! Unlike some people..."
He was just about to start talking, ready to give her more compliments, praising Yu Bai to the skies, hoping to get some benefits out of her.
But Yu Bai interrupted calmly: "Second Uncle, we have guests at home today, so we won't keep you here for dinner any longer. You've been busy all day, so go home and rest early."
The order to expel the guest was issued without any courtesy, but with a sense of alienation.
Yu Dongshun finally woke up as if from a dream, and shifted his gaze away from Yu Bai and looked behind her.
When he saw this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
I saw a man standing a few steps behind Yu Bai.
The man had a tall figure and a calm temperament. His clothes seemed simple, but they exuded a low-key luxury. The well-tailored fabric gave off an imperceptible luster in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Especially those eyes, which were deep and sharp, as if they could see through people's hearts. Just a casual glance made Yu Dongshun feel an inexplicable pressure.
Be good!
This whole body of his has an aura, he is definitely not an ordinary person!
Yu Dongshun's mind started to work rapidly.
He suddenly remembered that when he entered the house just now, he caught a glimpse of the brand new black sedan parked in front of the Yu family's door - he had seen that type of car on the Internet. It was said to be imported and shockingly expensive!
At that time, he was wondering whose family it was, but when he saw this man, he suddenly knew everything!
Rich people!
And he is not just an ordinary rich man!
What is his relationship with Yu Bai? Could it be...
A series of questions exploded in his mind, lingering and making him extremely curious.
But facing Jiang Zhou's indifferent eyes that seemed to see through everything, countless guesses came to his lips, and in the end he only dared to ask cautiously:
"Xiaobai, this... this person, could it be... your boyfriend in the city?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally relaxed atmosphere in the yard froze instantly, as if someone had poured a basin of ice water on them!
The air seemed to have stopped flowing, leaving only the afterglow of the setting sun casting shadows of varying depths on everyone's face.
Yu Bai's originally calm eyes suddenly flashed with sharp coldness. The fingers hanging by her side curled up almost imperceptibly, and her nails almost dug into her palms.
Disgust and displeasure spread from her delicate face without any concealment.
Zhou Fengxia, who was standing aside, immediately became gloomy, and the polite smile on her lips disappeared without a trace.
Yu Nian's brows were furrowed, and his lips were pressed into a straight line. He was obviously extremely uncomfortable with his second uncle's inappropriate flattery and random guesses.
Only Jiang Zhou's deep and sharp eyes showed a hint of doubt and surprise for the first time.
He subconsciously turned his head, his gaze lingering for a moment on Yu Bai's obviously unhappy face, and a ripple suddenly arose in his heart - she has a boyfriend?
This realization made him feel inexplicably surprised, and even... a hint of subtle scrutiny.
However, Yu Dongshun acted as if nothing had happened and was completely unaware of this subtle atmosphere and the different expressions on everyone's faces.
Instead, he was complacent about himself for "revealing the secret in one word", and his wrinkled face smiled even more brightly, as if he had foreseen countless benefits beckoning to him.
"Oh! I told you! Xiaobai has good taste!"
His voice rose a few notes due to excitement, and his saliva was almost spitting out.
"This young man, wow, he's such a handsome man, so impressive! Standing next to our Xiaobai, they're truly a match made in heaven! They're a perfect match, absolutely perfect!"
He became more and more excited as he spoke, and even moved a little closer to Jiang Zhou in a familiar manner. He was so warm and welcoming, as if Jiang Zhou was really his nephew-in-law.
"Young man, don't be so formal!"
"I'm Xiaobai's second uncle, my dear second uncle! From now on, we're a family! We're one family, so we shouldn't have different opinions!"
"When you have time, you must come to your second uncle's house and have your second aunt cook you some of her signature dishes, and then we can have a few drinks together!"
The repeated calls of "boyfriend" and "family" finally made Yu Bai unable to bear it anymore.
"Second Uncle!"
Yu Bai's voice suddenly rose
Yu Dongshun was stunned by the sudden shout and obviously didn't understand what he had said wrong.
Yu Bai took a deep breath, suppressing the turbulent anger in his heart. He then turned to Jiang Zhou and spoke in a calm tone, but with a decisive and polite tone:
"Mr. Jiang, he misunderstood, don't mind it."
Then she looked at Yu Dongshun again: "Second Uncle, Mr. Jiang is my partner, that's all!
