Grandpa Hu Hu Yiping handed over two drinks. Bai Qiandao politely said thank you, and the old man left with a kind smile on his face.
The two sat on the top of the villa, enjoying the sunshine, drinking Huaqiong wine and chatting. The more contact she had, the more affection she felt. He had no objection to her, and she also had a good impression of him.
Somewhere, Long Yechuan was sitting there, yawning non-stop. The poor thing was so talkative that she felt sleepy.
Idiot, you haven’t noticed that your QianliTong phone is still open. How stupid!
What made her seriously dissatisfied was that he was so kind to Zhao Linglan, spoke softly, and showed his witty side. Why was he always so domineering and mean to her? What should I do to you?
Similarly, in Hongchen Pavilion, Lan Danyan woke up from practice and felt quietly.
She frowned and said to herself: "There is so much nonsense, Zhao Linglan, that socialite... This kind of woman is good at playing with men, I hope you don't fall into her hands, wait until I come to find you!"
White lotuses bloomed around her, creating a cloud of white color, which set off her celestial spirit, making her extraordinary, and she once again entered deep cultivation.
She needs to practice deeply and not spy on Bai Qiandao all the time. Now she has recovered half of her strength.
"The sunset is infinitely beautiful, and the wine is intoxicating..." Bai Qiandao sipped the wine and became inspired by poetry. He had no talent, so he could only blurt out this.
Zhao Linglan pursed her lips, chuckled, and said, "It's such a good poem, concise and concise, with beautiful narrative... Hey, did you hear the sound of vomiting?"
"No! Is there one?" Bai Qiandao looked around, and there was no one else there except them.
"There must be, it's strange..." Zhao Linglan also looked around, puzzled.
"Ignore it, in Xixia, as a landlord, can you treat me to a meal?" Bai Qiandao asked, licking his face.
"I don't want to go out, so I can order a few takeaways, just Xixia City's famous dishes."
"Okay, okay, I remember there is a sweet-scented osmanthus seabass, which is also Xixia's famous dish, right?"
"Yes, the process of that dish is more complicated and the waiting time will be longer."
"It's okay. As long as I can taste it, I can wait as long as I want. I'm so greedy!" Bai Qiandao smiled, sipping his saliva and almost drooling it out.
"Hey, I seem to hear...what sound again?"
"I seem to have heard it too..." Bai Qiandao became alert and used his weak spiritual sense to sense the surroundings, which seemed to be the sound of electricity.
He suddenly took Qianli Tong out of his arms and looked around. There was nothing abnormal, and there was no extremely weak sound of electricity, but it was coming from his arms!
Checking it carefully again, holy shit, the call time with Long Yexuan was twelve hours?
Bai Qiandao was stunned, and then he called with an angry look.
"Hey, who is it?" Long Yechuan's sweet voice came from the other side.
"Are you shameless? You didn't call Qianli Tong and eavesdropped on me?" Bai Qiandao asked angrily.
"I was just about to ask you, why didn't you sign up for Qianli Tong? Are you still justified in wasting so much of my money?" Long Yekuang asked in return.
"I...I didn't hang up, can't you hang up?"
"I was so angry that I fell asleep after being scolded by you. You ignored me and questioned me angrily?"
"You are pretending to be confused, but you are clearly eavesdropping, and you are telling lies with your eyes open."
"What's wrong with me just eavesdropping? I can only say that you deserve it!" Long Yekuang hung up Qianli Tong and looked happy.
Bai Qiandao was so angry that she called him, but she didn't answer. He called again, but she still didn't answer.
"What's wrong? Who is eavesdropping?" Zhao Linglan asked in surprise.
"Wait a minute..." Bai Qiandao sent a text message, scolding this shameless little devil for his despicable behavior.
Long Yekuang read his text message, smiling and stretching. She spent the whole day eavesdropping and wanted to stretch her hands and feet. She was in a good mood and decided to practice.
"Huchi, wheeze..." Bai Qiandao's nostrils seemed to be smoking, and he was angry.
"Who is the other party?" Zhao Linglan asked.
"Little devil, a receiving bag... I'm angry with her. I want to calm down. I can't let her make me sick..."
Bai Qiandao calmed down, finally calmed down, and smiled again.
This little devil can still do such ghostly things and be a ghost.
"Who is she?" Zhao Linglan asked with eyes flashing.
"She..." Bai Qiandao was about to say Long Yekuang's name when he saw Hu Yiping walking over in a hurry.
"Miss, master..."
Seeing Hu Yiping's face full of sadness, Zhao Linglan dropped the wine glass in his hand, stood up, and ran away staggeringly.
When Zhao Liebao was dying, his beloved great-granddaughter came to visit him, leaving him with no regrets and no longer able to support himself.
Although he was about to die, he still comforted the crying Zhao Linglan until he let her go out, leaving Bai Qiandao alone.
"Bai Qiandao...what a name! I know you...do not have...that kind of relationship with Xiao Linglan..." Zhao Liebao held Bai Qiandao's hand. He had no strength left, but he still wanted to hold it.
"Grandpa, do you understand?" Bai Qiandao asked in surprise.
"Yes... I'm about to die... I'm not an old fool... Please promise me... to help me take care of her... No matter what the situation... she can't help herself..."
"I do not understand……"
"She likes you... My unfilial son... will not accept you as a member of the Zhao family... She will obey the family... and will hurt you. Please... don't be resentful... always take care of her..."
Bai Qiandao was a little shocked, feeling his body temperature gradually getting colder, looking at the dying old man, this was his last request and instruction, and he hoped he could do it.
Bai Qiandao couldn't bear it and said, "I really don't have that relationship with her, but I promise you that I will always take care of her!"
Zhao Liebao showed a pleased smile and said: "You are a good boy...I never miss someone...let her in!"
Not long after Zhao Linglan came in, Zhao Liebao passed away, and there was a burst of sad crying.
Late at night, Zhao Linglan was tired from crying and fell asleep next to the bed. Bai Qiandao and Hu Yiping were preparing for the funeral outside. When they came in and saw her still sobbing body, they felt pity for her and covered her with a piece of clothing.
The next day, relatives of the Zhao family in Xixia City arrived, and Bai Qiandao was able to rest and quietly accompany Zhao Linglan, who was sitting dumbly.
There are not many relatives in the Zhao family. Only the cousin Zhao Yingsu and his family are involved in the Zhao family. They do construction business near Xixia and are considered rich in Xixia. It's just that Zhao Yingsu looked at Bai Qiandao with contempt, and spoke with a commanding tone, treating him as a small worker.
Now that Zhao Liebao has passed away, Zhao Linglan has no reason to say that Bai Qiandao is her boyfriend, and only introduces him as a friend.
However, Zhao Yingsu had a very poisonous eye and actually saw that Bai Qiandao was not rich and noble. He was surprised that such a person could be friends with Zhao Linglan, but his contempt was already revealed.
"That little guy, stop sitting there and go see if the flowers in the mourning hall are neatly arranged." Zhao Yingsu stood aside and shouted.
Bai Qiandao frowned and stood up, wanting to take a look.
"Uncle, he is my friend and he is here to help. He has been tired all night, let him take a rest!" Zhao Linglan frowned.
"Oh, okay, okay..." Zhao Yingsu rolled her eyes. She didn't understand what Zhao Linglan was thinking, but she knew what the Zhao family was like and knew that Bai Qiandao could not become the son-in-law of the Zhao family.
Zhao Liebao was lying in an ice coffin, and his body could be kept for more than ten days, waiting for the rest of the Zhao family to come over for the funeral.
At noon, at the banquet arranged by Zhao Yingsu, Bai Qiandao was arranged with Hu Yiping. This was the table where the assassins sat.
Zhao Linglan was very dissatisfied and personally invited Bai Qiandao and Hu Yiping to come over. Although Hu Yiping was a servant, Zhao Liebao always regarded him as a friend, and she respected him.
Zhao Yingsu was a little embarrassed and glanced at Bai Qiandao with a very unkind look. He knew the deep relationship between Hu Yiping and Zhao Liebao, but he had no objection to it.
Zhao Yingsu's ancestors have all passed away. He has a son, Zhao Guangcai, who married a wife and had a son. The grandson is only five years old. Both father and son have taken concubines, but concubines are not allowed on this occasion.
Zhao Guangcai looked like a second-born son. He spoke with a slanted eyebrow and a sense of arrogance. His wife Wang Yuhan seemed to be well-educated and gentle. They only arrived at noon.
"Xiao Bai, what's your business?" Zhao Guangcai noticed that Zhao Yingsu was not friendly to Bai Qiandao and asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I... don't do business, I just help others." Bai Qiandao said quietly.
"So you are working! How do you deserve to be friends with Ling Lan!" Zhao Guangcai knew his father very well, and he said it directly if he said something that was difficult for him to say.
"Zhao Guangcai, shut your mouth." Zhao Linglan said angrily.
"Linglan, am I not doing this for you? Such a person is not suitable to be a friend of the Zhao family!" Zhao Guangcai was a little scared, but he still spoke very straightforwardly, and he didn't deserve to be beaten.
Zhao Linglan looked tired, and knew the virtue of this cousin, and said: "Do you know who he works for? He is the handler of the Mai family, and he is very valued by Mai Tianxue. Do you understand?"
Zhao Yingsu and Zhao Guangcai were both surprised. The Mai family was much larger than the Zhao family, not to mention their descendants of the Zhao family.
"He...he is working for the Mai family?" Zhao Yingsu believed in his intuition. He had seen too many poor people, and Bai Qiandao had that smell. Why did he suddenly say that he was working for the big Mac family? asked.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and the people in the room looked around and saw someone pushing the door open and coming in. It was a gentle middle-aged man wearing glasses and holding a bag in his hand.
"President Bao..." Zhao Yingsu stood up in surprise, went to greet him, and said, "Our ancestor has passed away. It is our honor to have you here."
Then he turned around and said, "Linglan, this is President Bao of the Southern Branch of Mai Group."
Zhao Linglan was also quite surprised. She couldn't help but glance at Bai Qiandao, stood up and said, "Thank you, President Bao!"
President Bao was a bit arrogant when facing Zhao Yingsu, but he did not dare to be indifferent when facing Zhao Linglan, and said quickly: "Vice President Zhao, the old man has passed away. My condolences!"
Zhao Linglan nodded and said, "President Bao, you are serious."
President Bao hesitated for a moment and said: "The boss arranged for me to come here this time. She said that Mr. Bai Qiandaobai didn't have much money with him and couldn't pay a memorial ceremony. She wanted me to send one million five-element coins... Excuse me Who is Mr. Bai?"
