Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 473: Chapter 473: How is He Here!_1

As Bai Xiaosheng walked over, the doors of the great hall split to either side, ushering in a flurry of people.

Dozens of individuals surrounded a beautiful woman, even Zhang Xuan had a full smile on his face, following by her side.

The beauty, roughly in her twenties, approached in a white gown, moving elegantly with grace, standing tall like a lotus rising from the water.

Her face, lightly made up, radiated a charm that was at once captivating, demure, dignified, and remarkably approachable. Her eyes and brows were impeccably refined; her smiling eyes were like crescent moons, her nose delicate, and her lips petite. Her figure was proportioned to such perfection that an ounce more would make her seem plump, an ounce less, too thin; she was flawlessness incarnate.

Especially her skin, so soft and fair, appeared like flawless white jade.

Bai Xiaosheng inwardly marveled. Of all the women he had seen, this one’s beauty, comportment, and poise could easily rank in the top three. Probably only Wei Xuelian and Wei Moran, the pair of sisters, could surpass her.

Bai Xiaosheng quietly stood aside, watching these people pass by in front of him.

”Has Miss Mo Xin arrived? We’ve been waiting so eagerly!”

Suddenly, a booming voice echoed from the second floor.

Bai Xiaosheng looked up.

Upstairs, leaning on the railing stood a somewhat gaunt middle-aged man. Beside him was an elderly man with short frosty hair, exhibiting a calm and measured demeanor.

As soon as Bai Xiaosheng saw the old man with white hair, he was taken aback—it was Yin Haoran.

He hadn’t expected to meet again so soon.

He wondered what Yin Haoran’s expression would be if he noticed him.

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but scratch his face.

Considering the Yin Family had already been swindled so badly, it was surprising that Yin Haoran was in the mood to attend a wine reception...

But then again, perhaps he was here seeking partnership...

Bai Xiaosheng speculated.

After all, Yin Haoran was a man of purpose in his actions and style.

Yin Haoran’s attention was fully on Mo Xin; he didn’t notice Bai Xiaosheng in the crowd at all, which explained his nonchalance.

”Mr. Zhang Shucheng has been waiting, Xin Xin wouldn’t dare to make him wait,” the beauty, named Mo Xin, responded with a sweet smile, giving Yin Haoran an extra glance. A beautiful woman by her side leaned in to whisper something in her ear.

In Mo Xin’s eyes, a radiant light burst forth.

”So Mr. Yin Haoran is also here. No wonder I heard magpies calling when I was leaving home—it’s an honor to meet such an important person, I’m privileged,” Mo Xin said with a smile.

That young lady certainly had a sweet tongue, Bai Xiaosheng chuckled to himself.

”Miss Mo Xin is too modest. To have the chance to drink a cocktail mixed by a Senior Bartender Technician recognized by several European countries is not common! It is I who am honored,” Yin Haoran replied with a laugh.

Zhang Shucheng grinned and made a welcoming gesture. Yin Haoran modestly declined, but did not persist, and walked in front.

These two heavyweight figures immediately became the center of attention in the entire venue.

Zhang Xuan stood there, honest and obedient. The arrogance and haughtiness from before had vanished into thin air.

In fact, he was secretly wiping sweat from his brow.

”I didn’t expect the old man to be on the second floor, and even less did I expect that old codger from the Yin Family to be here, too—I almost made a scene just now!” Zhang Xuan thought to himself.

Zhang Shucheng led Yin Haoran downstairs, approaching Mo Xin, and when he saw his son, his expression slightly darkened.

”Xiao Xuan, have you greeted Mr. Yin yet?”

”Hello, Mr. Yin!” Zhang Xuan quickly said respectfully.

His own Zhang Family couldn’t make the top ten in Zhongjing, whereas the Yin Family ranked within the top five—that was the difference! The old man was usually so haughty that he couldn’t be invited over, and every time his father mentioned it, he was very displeased.

This time, however, the man had come to them.

Mr. Zhang Xuan’s eyes flickered as he recalled something he had heard a few days ago. The Yin Family had had a falling out with Zhongjing Media and almost got wiped out by them. His father had been muttering about it for days, saying how impressive the new general manager of Zhongjing Media was, and that the Yin Family’s decline was an opportunity for their Zhang Family to capitalize on.

Mr. Zhang Xuan didn’t understand, nor did he want to. All he knew was that as long as he had plenty of money to spend and could live a carefree life, that was enough for him. He couldn’t be bothered with anything else...

This attitude naturally resulted in his father, Zhang Shucheng, cursing him out numerous times, but he, Mr. Zhang Xuan, just took it as if his old man was farting loudly...

”Just now upstairs, I heard you making a racket down here, what’s the commotion about?” Zhang Shucheng asked lazily.

”Nothing much, just a blind bastard who pissed me off,” Mr. Zhang Xuan muttered.

”As long as you don’t cause me any trouble, that’s good enough!” Zhang Shucheng huffed coldly.

Being scolded by his own father in front of so many people, especially in front of Mo Xin, was humiliating for Mr. Zhang Xuan!

”Dad, it really wasn’t me causing trouble. The butler told me that there was something fishy about this guy’s invitation card! He suspected it was stolen. What he had was our family’s supreme invitation card,” Mr. Zhang Xuan muttered.

”Oh?” Zhang Shucheng frowned.

The supreme invitation card.

The Zhang Family had issued only ten of them, each one incredibly prestigious. If those people were coming, they naturally would have notified in advance, and it would be no small matter; Zhang Shucheng would have personally gone to receive them.

Yet, so far, he hadn’t heard of any additional guests.

This indeed was a problem!

It really wasn’t Mr. Zhang Xuan acting rashly.

”Tell me who took the supreme invitation card!” Zhang Shucheng demanded.

When Mr. Zhang Xuan saw that his old man was actually taking it seriously, he quickly stretched his neck, looking into the crowd for Bai Xiaosheng.

”You brat, acting so arrogant. This time, it’s not just me who wants to see you; my dad is curious too. If you stole that invitation card and came here under false pretenses, my dad will break your legs for sure!” Mr. Zhang Xuan was getting excited.

From beyond the crowd, Bai Xiaosheng was already preparing to leave.

He was planning to slip out quietly, unnoticed.

Seeing the beautiful bartender was indeed a sight to behold, ethereal and stunning—it had been worth the trip. Now he was ready to head back.

After an unpleasant encounter and seeing people he didn’t want to see, this place was no longer a good spot to relax.

Bai Xiaosheng had no interest in creating further complications and was ready to make a swift exit.

However, just then, the elderly butler who had been at the main hall’s entrance was staring at him, noticing that Bai Xiaosheng was about to leave, while Mr. Zhang Xuan was still looking around for him.

The loyal butler, acting out of desperation, quickly raised his hand and shouted, ”Mr. Zhang Xuan! This person is over here!”

At this shout, Bai Xiaosheng was startled.

Over there, two or three hundred guests all turned to look at once. So many gazes turning his way made Bai Xiaosheng the center of attention in an instant.

Next to Mr. Zhang Shucheng, Mr. Zhang Xuan spotted Bai Xiaosheng, his eyes instantly lighting up like torches as he yelled, ”It’s him!”

As he spoke, Mr. Zhang Xuan pushed through the crowd and charged toward Bai Xiaosheng, looking as if he were going after a thief...

Bai Xiaosheng, bemused, simply stood still and calmly watched as Mr. Zhang Xuan approached.

Since he hadn’t managed to leave, he decided not to go after all. After all, he had nothing to fear.

Zhang Shucheng curiously looked over, and Mo Xin by his side was also looking at Bai Xiaosheng with interest.

Neither paid him too much attention.

However, what Zhang Shucheng did not see was that at the moment Yin Haoran, standing beside him, saw Bai Xiaosheng, his usually composed face changed color dramatically as if he had seen a ghost.

”Oh my god, how is he here too!”
