Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1833: Chapter 1451: Verbal Confrontation

Dong Tianlu invited Bai Xiaosheng for a ”private chat” and, when they had a moment to speak freely, suddenly asked, directly pointing out Bai Xiaosheng’s identity, intending to catch him off guard and confirm who Bai Xiaosheng really was.

While speaking, Dong Tianlu fixed her gaze on Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes, watching to see his reaction.

Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes remained incredibly calm, like a still ancient well. His smile stayed the same, as he gave Dong Tianlu a once-over and said with a smile, ”If the head of Beifeng Holdings, Miss Dong Tianlu, can come here pretending to be a secretary, what’s wrong with me openly coming as a shareholder?”

Bai Xiaosheng had no intention of hiding his identity. Facing a shrewd woman like Dong Tianlu, it was impossible to conceal anything; it was better to be forthright.

”So, you knew my identity all along.” Dong Tianlu’s eyes gleamed with a sharpness as she asked with a smile, ”Did you find out from my brother? Bai Xiaosheng, when you helped Tianxiu, wasn’t it all part of a plan right from the start? And those events weren’t accidental!”

Dong Tianlu was a pure conspiracist, always viewing people as ”bad guys,” assuming the worst motives in others.

Bai Xiaosheng shook his head directly, ”No, I didn’t learn your identity from him, and all those things were real. Believe me or not, it doesn’t matter. My friendship with Tianxiu doesn’t have any ulterior motives. At that time, I didn’t even know his identity either.”

As the Executive President of Zhenbei Group’s Greater China Region, Bai Xiaosheng naturally had no reason to lie about such trivial things.

Dong Tianlu laughed and continued, ”Then how did you know my identity, and when did you find out? It should have been before this meeting, right?”

This woman was suspicious and sharp, as one could see.

As for that question, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t hide and openly explained, ”Zhengdong Province from Shengsheng International is my buddy, and he’s in trouble, so I naturally came to help him. He mentioned that Beifeng Holdings was targeting them, so to help, I had to investigate Beifeng Holdings’s information. That’s how I found out about you, Miss Dong Tianlu!”

Did Bai Xiaosheng do homework in advance?

His sharp eyes could indeed recognize her even with makeup, just based on media photos! Dong Tianlu thought.

”But even so, I didn’t recognize you yesterday.” Bai Xiaosheng chuckled, ”Women’s disguises can sometimes be truly deceptive.”

Yesterday, Dong Tianlu had her long hair down and wore big sunglasses. Bai Xiaosheng had only seen photos, so naturally, he didn’t recognize her.

Also, Bai Xiaosheng emphasized that Zhengdong Province was his buddy, so he came to help, subtly downplaying his association with Tengyun to make the alliance with Tengyun more surprising.

However, this Dong Tianlu was not easily fooled, so whether she would fall for it was uncertain.

Of course, Bai Xiaosheng did not expect to deceive her with just a few words.

If it were that simple and easy, Lu Yun’s Tengyun Series wouldn’t have been forced into such a position by Ma Zongting, Dong Tianlu, and others.

”While reviewing your data, I inadvertently discovered Dong Tianxiu’s name, and your nickname as ’brother pampering fanatic.’ I’ve got to say, some media really love this kind of news.” Bai Xiaosheng laughed, ”In fact, the moment I saw your name, I thought of Tianxiu, because names in Huaxia have so much connectivity. Tianxiu’s attire was low-key yet luxurious, clearly from a major family, and the destination after the transfer was Tianhu. So many coincidences; it would be foolish not to conclude you’re siblings.”

Bai Xiaosheng’s explanation made Dong Tianlu nod.

Very rational.

”But, Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, you truly are... meticulous! Investigating Beifeng Holdings and me, even the trivial gossip on the tabloids wasn’t missed. It’s quite astounding!” Dong Tianlu sighed.

This man also gave her a troublesome feeling.

There was a tinge of caution in Dong Tianlu’s eyes.

Someone like Bai Xiaosheng, who can investigate so thoroughly and comprehensively, would be terrifying as an opponent!

”Miss Dong overpraises.” Bai Xiaosheng said humbly with a smile.

Actually, it was all thanks to Red Lotus; it always sifts out all available information.

”Also, your ’Lin Sheng’ name made that fool Luo Zitian think you were from the Lin Family; it really trapped us.” Dong Tianlu laughed, ”Mr. Ma Zongting, I fear, is still confirming with the Lin Family over there, and the Lin Family must be just as puzzled.”

This misunderstanding was big. But Dong Tianlu didn’t care, nor would she immediately inform Ma. After all, it wasn’t her trouble.

”Is that so.” Bai Xiaosheng smiled, ”Then now, I guess the ’misunderstanding’ is completely resolved.”

Dong Tianlu smiled, instead of commenting, turning her head to look at Bai Xiaosheng, ”I just wonder to what extent Mr. Bai intends to help your friend here.”

Her words hinted at probing whether Bai Xiaosheng would involve himself in the Tengyun Yuema conflict.

”I will only fulfill the due duties of friendship.” Bai Xiaosheng replied with a smile.

Bai Xiaosheng’s words could be described as a move of Tai Chi.

Without knowing Bai Xiaosheng’s relationship with Lu Yun, one might think he’s stopping at helping Zhengdong Province.

Even knowing his relationship with Lu Yun, the ”due duties of friendship” doesn’t mean he would involve Zhenbei Group’s Greater China Region in the turmoil.

After all, private matters are private, and business is business.

Bai Xiaosheng’s true intention also subtly includes the ”friendship” between Zhenbei Group’s Greater China Region and Tengyun Group.

It’s up to the others to interpret.

Dong Tianlu stared at Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes, only to find them deep, showing no emotional changes.

She was becoming more and more interested in this man.

”Helping friends and fulfilling duties, well said.” Dong Tianlu said with a smile.

Just a few exchanges made her feel that this man was truly no ordinary person; his aura, demeanor, and language were comparable to those like Ma Zongting.

Truly worthy of being a young Executive President of Zhenbei Group’s Greater China Region!

”Mr. Bai, Tianxiu is also your friend!” Dong Tianlu emphasized.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and nodded, solemnly saying, ”Dong Tianxiu is my friend!”

Dong Tianlu laughed, ”I also hope to be friends with you and hope you forget yesterday’s unpleasantness!”

”And also, once this matter is resolved, I hope you can come to my home as a guest for a meal.”

Dong Tianlu smiled as she extended the invitation.

”Sure, once the matters are settled, I will definitely visit!” Bai Xiaosheng nodded with a smile.

The two chatted for a total of five to six minutes and then didn’t speak further, as the place they were at, though relatively secluded, still had many people around.

”Then when you come to Dong’s home, we can chat slowly.” Dong Tianlu said.

”Looking forward to that day.” Bai Xiaosheng replied, effectively agreeing.

Dong Tianlu gave him one last deep look, smiled, and walked away.

Meanwhile, Dong Tianxiu was speaking with Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, and as they saw the two return, it wasn’t appropriate to ask what they discussed.

”Let’s go, Tianxiu; we need to return to our seats. The meeting is about to start.” Dong Tianlu smiled to Dong Tianxiu, then turned to Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, ”When Mr. Bai visits Dong’s home, you should come along too.”

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying exchanged a surprised look.

Did Bai Xiaosheng agree to visit Dong’s home?

”Oh, okay.” Lin Weiwei nodded.

Earlier, Dong Tianxiu hadn’t asked anything, first apologizing on his sister’s behalf, hoping they would be forgiving if they were offended.

This made Lin Weiwei not upset with Dong Tianlu anymore.

Now, with Dong Tianlu saying this, what else could she do?

Lei Ying also nodded.

With that, Dong Tianlu took Dong Tianxiu and left.

Bai Xiaosheng and the others watched them go.

As the siblings were heading back to their seats, someone brushed past them, heading straight toward Bai Xiaosheng’s group.

”Wang Helei?” Dong Tianlu glanced at the person, a slight surprise in her expression.

She had met the ”mama’s boy” once.

Was he going to find Bai Xiaosheng?

For what?

Dong Tianlu did not look back at Wang Helei; instead, she looked ahead and, unsurprisingly, saw him making eye contact with Ma Tianqing from afar.

Ma Tianqing seemed to realize Dong Tianlu was there and recognized her, then looked astonished.

Dong Tianlu actually approached Bai Xiaosheng?

Was she trying to get information?

Would she recognize Bai Xiaosheng’s identity?

Ma Tianqing couldn’t say for sure and forced a smile.

Dong Tianlu ignored him.

”Sister, what are you looking at?” Dong Tianxiu asked curiously.

”Nothing, let’s go.” Dong Tianlu withdrew her gaze, speaking calmly.

Wang Helei must have been provoked by Ma Tianqing to give Bai Xiaosheng a hard time, probably because Bai Xiaosheng was the new shareholder brought by Zhengdong Province, and he mentioned his surname was Bai, not Lin, so they felt deceived and wanted to cause trouble.

Undoubtedly disastrous!

Since that’s the case, go ahead!

”That man is not someone to be messed with.” Dong Tianlu laughed to herself.

She didn’t care what might become of Wang Helei.

As for Bai Xiaosheng, if he couldn’t handle such small fry, he wouldn’t be someone worthy of her regard!
