Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1298: Chapter 1231: Determined to Win

Ron could be said to wake the dreamer with a single word; Bai Xiaosheng slapped his forehead in realization, while others looked on with faces full of gloom.

After all this time, Bai Xiaosheng realized he had forgotten to consult the very person he should have asked.

People often overlook those closest to them; this is precisely the so-called ”darkness under the light.”

Bai Xiaosheng was no exception; he experienced the ”darkness under the light.”

Immediately, Bai Xiaosheng sent a message to Wei Xuelian and then waited patiently.

After all, he didn’t know whether Xuelian was currently busy or not.

The last time they met, Wei Xuelian mentioned that every day she had to learn a vast amount of stuff and handle numerous matters, pressure herself to make up for the growth she had missed. This was also the condition under which her family tacitly approved some of her actions.

For instance, they tacitly allowed Wei Xuelian to always stay up-to-date with Bai Xiaosheng’s news and movements.

Not supportive, but not resorting to drastic interference, this was the maximum concession Wei Xuelian’s family gave in exchange for her sacrifice of time and energy.

This touched Bai Xiaosheng, and he felt guilty as well.

So it wasn’t that Bai Xiaosheng forgot to ask her, he just didn’t want to bother her with such matters anymore.

But now, he felt that perhaps it was okay to disturb her for just a minute or two...

After all, it was for the future of the two of them.

Wei Xuelian didn’t reply to the message right away. Believing she was busy, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t rush her, and continued to enjoy the drinks and conversation with Ron and the others.

When Ron found out that the boss’s biggest worry was actually this sort of thing, he couldn’t stop laughing and began to generously share various experiences, genuine or not.

Whether it was true or the foreigner was just bragging, who knows.

As the luncheon neared its end, Bai Xiaosheng’s phone rang. He grabbed it immediately, frantic to check the message.

It was a reply from Wei Xuelian!

Bai Xiaosheng’s question was about the preferences of the elders in Wei Xuelian’s family to prepare gifts for them.

Wei Xuelian’s reply was, ”My dad is quite traditional and only focuses on work. In his spare time, besides golfing, he has no real interests or hobbies.”

Bai Xiaosheng was startled.

Following that, Wei Xuelian sent another message, ”My mom is simple; she likes calligraphy, flower arranging, and crafts. Your handwriting is excellent, just write a few pieces and she’ll surely like them.”

Bai Xiaosheng felt somewhat relieved.

They say mothers-in-law are hard to please, but it seems that a mother-in-law is easier to deal with than fathers-in-law.

”Regarding your issue, is it decided by my uncle or auntie?” Bai Xiaosheng tentatively asked.

”My dad is the current Family Head. He has the final say,” Wei Xuelian’s response made Bai Xiaosheng feel disheartened.

It’s no use if the mother-in-law is easy to please; the father-in-law is the one who has the final say.

”Strictly speaking, not even my dad has the final say on my matters; it must be approved by my grandfather and other respected elders of the family. After all, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I am to be the next Family Head of the Wei Family.”

Wei Xuelian’s words made Bai Xiaosheng heave a long sigh.

Does it mean he has to investigate and give gifts to every uncle and grandfather?

That would indeed be a massive task...

”But you can ignore the others and just bring some gifts for my grandfather. His word is extremely powerful.” Wei Xuelian sent a laughing emoji, ”My grandpa dotes on me, and I know what he likes!”

Bai Xiaosheng was delighted.

”What does grandpa like?”

”Yixing purple clay teapots,” Wei Xuelian replied instantly.

Yixing teapots!

Bai Xiaosheng was astounded.

Not long ago, he had just made the acquaintance of a purple clay pottery expert named Li Ni and had even helped him out. Now he learned that Wei Xuelian’s grandfather happened actually to be fond of that!

How could Bai Xiaosheng not be astonished?

”Could it be that not only bad deeds, but also good deeds receive immediate retribution? Is this the heaven’s favor for helping Li Ni!”

Bai Xiaosheng was even more joyful.

”Alright, stop chatting now. I’ve got something else to deal with, and when you come to my house, I’ll make sure to be there waiting for you.” Wei Xuelian sent a big smiling face and a kiss with red lips.

You come to my house, I will certainly be home.

Only someone as busy as Wei Xuelian who travels the whole world could say such a thing without sounding out of place.

”My wife-to-be is really capable,” Bai Xiaosheng chuckled foolishly, then looking up after putting down his phone, only to see several large heads clustered nearby, several pairs of eyes filled with a probing light, staring straight at him.

It startled Bai Xiaosheng.

”What are you guys doing?!” Bai Xiaosheng almost cried out in alarm.

”Just looking at you,” Lei Ying said.

Miranda nodded in agreement.

”One moment you’re frowning, the next you’re grinning foolishly, then you’re anxious, then joyous; do you have more good news or troubles?” Ron asked with a smile.

”It must be good news, in the end, Xiaosheng was grinning foolishly,” Lin Weiwei murmured.

Lei Ying and Ron exchanged glances and nodded, laughing.

”It’s good news,” Bai Xiaosheng smiled at everyone, ”Things are much simpler now, I just need to find two very decent Yixing teapots to use as gifts.”

With a sense of relief, Bai Xiaosheng picked up his glass and took a delighted sip of wine.

”Is that simple?”

”Not simple really! Good Yixing teapots are hard to come by, aren’t they? The kind in specialty stores are fine for regular use and play, but Xiaosheng, you are taking them to the Wei Family!”

”Right, right, if the Wei Family has someone who appreciates this, their taste must be of the highest standard. If it’s not rare or exceptional, it probably won’t catch their eye.”

”In that case, if you present ordinary items, won’t they question Xiaosheng’s sincerity in visiting, as well as his discernment? This gift meant to add points might just become a deduction!”
