Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1419: Chapter 1274: Encountering an Unexpected Person

Bai Xiaosheng walked down the mountain alongside Wei Xuelian. This was the moment when Bai Xiaosheng would leave, and Wei Xuelian was bidding him farewell.

Lin Weiwei, Lei Ying, Mr. He, and others had already gone down ahead of them.

Even the Patriarch of the Wei Family, Wei Changzun, had given instructions forbidding anyone from going up or down the mountain during this period. This was meant to give them some time alone.

As they walked side by side, Wei Xuelian’s cheeks were flushed red, an indescribable mix of charm and beauty.

Bai Xiaosheng stared at her, lost in thought, involuntarily recalling a verse: ”In the north, there is a beauty; unparalleled and alone. At one glance, cities fall; at another glance, nations collapse.”

Holding Wei Xuelian’s soft and delicate hand, Bai Xiaosheng made a silent vow to himself: he would fulfill his promise, no matter what!

At present, Wei Xuelian still had six to seven years of family cultivation before she could truly inherit the position of the Patriarch of the Wei Family.

Once Wei Xuelian took on this role, even her future marriage would have to prioritize the family’s business. She would spend her days, months, and years traveling endlessly across the globe.

To put it bluntly, even if Wei Xuelian were pregnant one day, even if she had a child, the vacation days she would get might not even rival that of an ordinary person.

Twenty years as the Family Head would demand her freedom, her youth, and the most beautiful period of her life as a woman!

This was precisely why Wei Xuelian had been steadfastly unwilling to walk this path back in the day. Although being the Patriarch of the Wei Family promised a life of wealth and privilege beyond ordinary imagination, in her eyes, what was gained always seemed much less than what was lost!

Had it not been for her falling in love with Bai Xiaosheng, with the Wei Family using Bai Xiaosheng as leverage against her, she would never have succumbed.

At that time, Bai Xiaosheng was no more than an ant, while the Wei Family, this colossal giant, had countless ways to obliterate him!

Even though Wei Changzun was benevolent, the uncles of the Wei Family were far from easy to deal with!

Nowadays, with Sir Wei Tianhe’s decisions, those uncles finally dared not act arbitrarily anymore, to Wei Xuelian’s slight relief.

Bai Xiaosheng had heard some things from Liu Wudao and knew what Wei Xuelian had sacrificed for him.

That was why Bai Xiaosheng resolved to do whatever it took to help her escape such a fate!

As they walked, Bai Xiaosheng calculated the time. Six or seven years later would coincide with his deadline to inherit the Zhenbei Group.

If he succeeded, he would become the owner of the top-tier Zhenbei Group, and ”buying back” Xuelian’s freedom wouldn’t be an impossible task!

Moreover, Bai Xiaosheng had his own ideals and ambitions as a man. He wanted to accomplish great things—aligning both his career and his love with effort brought forth by his own hands.

Thus, Bai Xiaosheng was brimming with enthusiasm.

He wouldn’t consider the possibility of failure—only the necessity to work harder and harder, propelling himself at full speed toward success!

At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng looked at Wei Xuelian in front of him, his gaze growing ever more resolute.

Wei Xuelian noticed Bai Xiaosheng’s intense gaze. Feeling an added tinge of shyness, her heart raced, and her steps felt like walking on clouds.

If there were any words in this world that could move Wei Xuelian, perhaps it would be Bai Xiaosheng’s pledge: ”I will buy back twenty years of your youth.”

”Xuelian.” Bai Xiaosheng looked ahead and suddenly spoke softly, ”With my current abilities, saying something like that might seem a bit overconfident. But I hope you’ll understand—because of you, I’m willing to try anything and create any miracle! Just like when we first met, I was nothing more than a small employee, but now I’ve been striving for the position of Greater China Region President of Zhenbei Group!”

”I hold significant shares in Zhengdong Province, and Shengsheng International is developing rapidly. Given time, it will become a world-class company. In addition, I own two companies myself. While they may not have the backing of Tengyun like Shengsheng International, I firmly believe their potential is no less than Shengsheng International! These are some of my trump cards, one of which I’ll share with you right now regarding those two companies’ actual situation...”

Bai Xiaosheng was about to reveal some details to Wei Xuelian, but before the words left his mouth, a delicate finger softly pressed against his lips.

Bai Xiaosheng paused in his steps and looked over.

”I’ve always believed in you!” Wei Xuelian said with a smile. ”You don’t need to tell me anything! I’ve never doubted you for a second!”

She had never once suspected that Bai Xiaosheng wouldn’t be able to achieve what he set out to do.

Bai Xiaosheng looked steadily at her, at her smile and the trust shining in her eyes. He couldn’t suppress the warmth in his heart, gently holding her hand.

Their eyes met, brimming with affection.

Unable to resist, Bai Xiaosheng pulled Wei Xuelian close and deeply kissed her soft lips.

In that fleeting moment of ecstasy, both of them felt slightly dizzy.

It took a long while before they parted.

”Your belief in me—I know it well. But can you guess how I managed to convince Wei to place his confidence in me?” Bai Xiaosheng asked with a smile.

When Wei Changzun sent him off, his face had been full of smiles.

”How did you convince my father?” Wei Xuelian’s face was as red as a ripe apple, but there was a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

She knew her father well, yet it seemed as though Bai Xiaosheng had somehow succeeded in earning his trust.

”I made a bet with him!” Bai Xiaosheng said, his smile tinged with mystery.

”A... bet?” Wei Xuelian’s eyes lit up with intrigue.

The Patriarch of the Wei Family, her own father, made bets?

”I told him about what Sir Wei Tianhe’s friends had said: that they could assist me in achieving the title of Zhenbei Group’s Greater China Region President within three to five years. But I told him I could do it on my own—and I wouldn’t need that much time...” Bai Xiaosheng raised a single finger.

”One year?” Wei Xuelian asked in amazement.

Bai Xiaosheng grinned and curled his raised finger halfway, ”Half a year!”

Bai Xiaosheng was usually a cautious man, rarely boasting in front of others. But when it came to expressing his confidence in front of the woman he loved, showing off for once didn’t seem so bad...
