Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1413: Chapter 1272: The Wei Family’s Acknowledgment!

Bai Xiaosheng’s two handcrafted purple clay teapots unveiled, instantly making him ”famous” and the center of attention.

The plump old lady, the thin old lady, and the scrawny old man didn’t hold back; they pulled Bai Xiaosheng directly into a seat and surrounded him.

The three elders beamed at Bai Xiaosheng, their smiles overflowing. If not for their glowing eyes giving off an eerie vibe, they might have appeared truly kind-hearted.

The scrawny old man was the first to bring it up—he wanted to introduce his granddaughter to Bai Xiaosheng.

The plump old lady, however, quickly seized control of the conversation, firmly taking the reins while shooting down the scrawny old man’s claims. ”Kid, don’t listen to him! His granddaughters? Either already married or still in diapers! The ones I’ve met who are of age look just like him—skinny as a rail. How can they compare to my granddaughter!”

As she spoke, the plump old lady smiled warmly and held Bai Xiaosheng’s hand.

”I can tell we’re destined to meet, just you and me. This young man has striking looks, polished manners, and such rare craftsmanship—truly exceptional. I heard just now that you excel in other areas too, didn’t your couplets get framed by Wei and hung in his study? Tsk tsk, look at that! Wei treating it so highly—surely, your calligraphy is as extraordinary as your teapot-making skills! Now, how about this: I’ll have my granddaughters send their photos over later, so you can take a look first. We see if anyone catches your eye, okay?”

Upon hearing the plump old lady, the scrawny old man wasn’t happy at all.

”Hey! Sister, I don’t like what you’re saying! What do you mean skinny as a rail? My granddaughter is well-proportioned, graceful, and beautiful! She’s a medical doctor—a true stunner, prettier than a celebrity. You must’ve been talking about her childhood days!” the scrawny old man protested, craning his neck forward.

”Quit crowding, move over!”

The plump old lady glared at him, then gave him a shove. The move nearly had the scrawny old man sliding off his stool.

Embarrassed and flustered, the scrawny old man muttered, ”Resorting to force, huh...”

”Sister, it’s unfair to swoop in and claim this promising young man for your family!” On the side, the thin old lady spoke up, defending justice in a dignified tone.

From the moment she stepped in, her graceful demeanor and excellent manners shone.

In this situation, she remained calm and composed.

”Well said,” the scrawny old man chimed in.

Finally, someone who hadn’t been blinded by bias!

The scrawny old man thought he’d found an ally and seized the moment to jump in.

”My granddaughters aren’t bad either, so shouldn’t we balance the opportunities a bit?” The thin old lady ignored him, instead cheerfully proposing to the plump old lady, ”We’re all from prestigious families, already so close across generations. When we meet exceptional talent like this, hogging him without leaving a chance for others—it simply doesn’t sit well, does it?”

The scrawny old man stared at the thin old lady, shocked, then burst out angrily, ”Oh great, you too...”

”My family can’t be left out!” The scrawny old man straightened his neck and declared forcefully.

Bai Xiaosheng, sitting off to the side, was utterly speechless.

Being pulled into a seat was initially a gesture of honor. Didn’t you notice Luo Danlun’s envious gaze?

But the more he listened, the more something felt off!

Starting with the scrawny old man’s remarks, the topic seemed to have veered wildly, as if it had reached the South Pole!

How did it turn into matchmaking for him!

These elders, so enamored with purple clay teapots, were even willing to put their granddaughters on the line?

Was it really that exaggerated?

Bai Xiaosheng was baffled.

To be fair, in ordinary families, elders often treated matchmaking as a matter of ”sizing people up.” If they liked a young man or thought a girl was decent, they’d instinctively want to introduce their unmarried children and grandchildren, hoping they’d hit it off. With both families’ circumstances aligning, it would result in a match.

Among elite families, the stakes were higher; sometimes marriage even became a bond of mutual interests between clans. Yet deep down, the process followed the same formula!

Bai Xiaosheng, being invited into Wei Tianhe’s inner circle, naturally had impeccable character and abilities—undoubtedly vetted thoroughly by the Wei Family.

Then there was his purple clay teapot craftsmanship. Producing just a few teapots a year could rival the profits of a prosperous company. And hearing that his calligraphy matched this level of mastery? Simply remarkable!

Such accomplishments at such a young age—if nurtured and guided properly—he’d become an extraordinary talent!

Not to mention his decent looks and impeccable manners!

An absolute rarity!

How could these elders not be moved!

Luo Danlun, standing off to the side, was feeling downright bitter!

Without comparison, there’d be no harm!

Watching this peer become the darling of these family elders while he himself stood abandoned and unnoticed—it was crushing...

He felt like no one wanted him, like he was worthless...

Luo Yuefeng, seated nearby, looked on at the events unfolding with an equally sour expression.

Earlier, those three geezers had complained he was blocking their space and shoved him aside.

Absolutely outrageous!

His precious grandson was also sidelined, ignored by everyone—how utterly embarrassing!

But what could he do?

Years ago, he’d tentatively proposed a union between the two families, pushing for a match involving Luo Danlun.

And what came of it?

The plump old lady had flatly rejected him, claiming modern marriages value freedom and shouldn’t sacrifice children’s happiness for family interests, even mocking him for his outdated views that failed to keep pace with contemporary family values!

He’d similarly hinted to the thin old lady—and failed there too!

So how could he explain this now!

These two opponents of arranged marriages, the so-called trendsetters, were happily matchmaking for their own granddaughters!
