Bai Qiandao was surprised. How could Mai Tianxue know about Zhao Liebao's death and arrange for someone to deliver a memorial ceremony?
"I, I am..."
"Mr. Bai, this is the memorial gift I brought, please keep it!" President Bao came over, looked at Bai Qiandao with some respect, and presented the bag with both hands.
"Oh, could you please President Bao to make a trip, thank you!" Bai Qiandao took the package and was a little at a loss. He didn't even expect to pay a memorial ceremony, and he really didn't have the money to pay, so Mai Tianxue sent someone to deliver it.
"You're welcome! Mr. Bai passed away, and I should also come to express my condolences!" President Bao said kindly, took out a paper bag from his arms, handed it to Zhao Linglan, who looked a little strange, and said, "This is my memorial ceremony. Please take it."
Zhao Linglan accepted it and said thank you. President Bao looked at Bai Qiandao meaningfully, saying that he had something to do and going to the mourning hall to worship before leaving.
After everyone saw him off, Zhao Yingsu accompanied him to express condolences. Bai Qiandao was carrying a heavy bag. Not only was the money heavy, but Mai Tianxue did this, which made him grateful. He also thought that he had to pay her back an extra million. When would he be able to pay her back?
Zhao Guangcai was stunned all the time, looking at Bai Qiandao, thinking about his father's opinion. Can he offend someone who the Mai family values so much?
"Mai Tianxue is so kind to you..." Zhao Linglan said with a hint of sadness.
"Um... please accept it!" Bai Qiandao didn't know how to respond. He was also a little confused and handed over the bag in his hand.
"Put it down!" Zhao Linglan said indifferently without looking at the bag.
Bai Qiandao could see that she was unhappy, but why was she unhappy?
"Did you tell Mai Tianxue?" Zhao Linglan asked.
"No... I don't have the habit of reporting at any time. I haven't contacted her in the past few days. It's strange how she knew!" Bai Qiandao wondered.
"She is really interested in you...she must have arranged for someone to pay attention to you..." Zhao Linglan said lightly.
Bai Qiandao smiled bitterly, feeling a little angry at this. Was Mai Tianxue worried about him?
Outside, Zhao Yingsu gave President Bao a gift and asked, "President Bao, that... Boss Mai attaches great importance to him?"
"Yes! Although the boss has always been generous to his subordinates, it is rare for him to arrange it personally this time. She also said that Mr. Bai is her friend, but I dare not ask, do you know Mr. Bai's background?"
What does Zhao Yingsu know? Mai Tianxue said that Xiaobai was a friend, and he probably really regarded him as a friend. This made him feel uncomfortable, so he didn't want to offend the powerful people unintentionally.
Empiricism kills people. He decided not to look at people through colored glasses in the future. He may look like a poor person, but he is a new powerful person. That smell has not dissipated yet!
He said he didn't know with a heavy heart, and when he saw President Bao leave, he came back with a heavy heart. When he looked at Bai Qiandao again, he felt a little fearful.
Faced with the enthusiasm of the father and son to change their attitude, Bai Qiandao didn't like it very much, so he still drank a toast for Zhao Linglan. On the other hand, after having an extra drink with Wang Yuhan, this woman apologized for her husband without saying anything explicitly.
Bai Qiandao was quite moved. This Zhao Guangcai looked like a second-generation ancestor, and the wife he found was really virtuous and intelligent!
Zhao Linglan saw Bai Qiandao smiling at each other, then frowning, and when he wasn't paying attention, she looked coldly at Wang Yuhan.
Wang Yuhan was a smart man, so he didn't say anything more, but his eyes wandered around Bai Qiandao and Zhao Linglan in surprise.
She understood that Zhao Linglan was jealous because Bai Qiandao said a few more words to her and smiled. Zhao Linglan really liked this man, which surprised her. A top socialite would also be sincere towards a man?
In the afternoon, guests came to pay their respects one after another. After everything was done, they were just waiting for the Zhao family to attend the funeral. At that time, heavyweights from Xixia City and nearby cities would also arrive. Zhao Linglan was also tired and was resting.
Zhao Guangcai originally wanted Wang Yuhan to stay with Zhao Linglan, but he refused because of her, and Wang Yuhan took her husband away without knowing it.
It wasn't until after ten o'clock in the evening that Zhao Linglan had dinner with Bai Qiandao and asked what Zhao Liebao had said to him last.
Bai Qiandao thought of Zhao Liebao's words, saying that the old man asked him to take good care of her, and couldn't help but look at her more. Does she really like him?
Looking at him a few more times, a blush appeared on Zhao Linglan's face and her heart beat faster. When he looked again, she looked directly at him.
This made his heart beat faster, and he quickly looked away, slightly embarrassed, and his face turned red.
The two of them were eating in silence, and they actually said in unison: "Drink."
Then they looked at each other and smiled, toasted each other, and unknowingly drank several glasses of wine.
Later, Zhao Linglan cried pitifully, and Bai Qiandao comforted her with a flushed face. It was the effect of alcohol that made her blush.
Later, she lay in his arms, and he held her in his arms, wiping tears together.
She kept crying, and Bai Qiandao also drank too much. Thinking of his deceased parents, he simply cried with her.
Later, the two fell asleep on the sofa, hugging each other.
Hu Yiping came in, covered them with blankets, looked at the two people hugging each other, and sighed: "Master, what you were worried about has happened... The young man is a good person, don't turn against him!"
Bai Qiandao felt wet and itchy on his face. He opened his eyes and saw Zhao Linglan's beautiful face close at hand, kissing him with his red lips.
He was immediately startled, and just as he was about to get up, he pressed down for her and whispered in his ear: "How about... let our relationship come true!"
Bai Qiandao was immediately confused. He thought that she was from a wealthy family and he was from a poor family. There was a huge difference in status. Zhao Liebao's last words also echoed in his ears.
"You... like me?" Bai Qiandao asked.
"I like it." Zhao Linglan responded quickly and asked, "Do you like me?"
Bai Qiandao looked into her deep eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said, "You are very beautiful and very rich. The gap between our statuses is very obvious..."
"Don't worry about that, do you like me?" Zhao Linglan asked again.
"like."
Bai Qiandao told the truth. The contact in the past few days has gone from misunderstanding to resolution, and now, although we don't know each other completely, we have learned a lot about each other. Zhao Linglan gave him a good feeling. Even though she was teasing him, she was tolerant and forgave her. This is how she would treat someone she likes!
After hesitation, Bai Qiandao continued: "Your family will not accept me..."
Zhao Linglan turned over and sat up, looked at the bright sunshine outside, and said, "Yes, especially my grandfather, he will not accept you, but..."
She was silent for a moment, probably making a decision, then looked at Bai Qiandao and said, "I want to pursue my own happiness, can you resist with me?"
Resist?
Bai Qiandao's fighting spirit was aroused in his chest. In the past, he felt sorry for his destiny and had been assimilated to the secular world. He had the mentality of living like this all his life. The system gave him a different life and became stronger. He knew that his world would be more exciting, and he gradually gained fighting spirit.
"Okay, as long as you make up your mind, I will resist with you." Bai Qiandao stretched out his arms and hugged her. He was no longer a child, he was not so shy, but there was still a blush on her face.
Embracing Zhao Linglan, Bai Qiandao suddenly had an unreal feeling. He had just lost his love a month ago. He was in great pain and did not believe in the existence of love. Now, it only took a few days to get along with Zhao Linglan, and the relationship was established, which was too fast.
There used to be a shadow in his heart that made him not feel as sincere about this relationship as his first love, at least not now. He just simply liked her and didn't know if he was in love.
When he was with Huang Ru, he thought it was love. After being abandoned, it turned into full of resentment. There was no love in his heart. Will this time also have a sad ending?
"What are you thinking about?" Zhao Linglan asked, leaning into his arms and listening to his heartbeat.
"Why did you break up with your ex-boyfriend?" Bai Qiandao, who was confused, blurted out this question when he shouldn't have asked it.
"I have never been in love, you are my first love."
"Ah? You've never been friends before?" Bai Qiandao was surprised. She was already thirty years old, and many people at her age had already had seven or eight friends.
"Is it weird? I've been busy with family business, and I only had sex with those men in Tianque. I have never slept with a man."
Bai Qiandao remembered what Mai Tianlang said. She had never done that in Tianque, and there were many people pursuing her.
"Why do you like me?" Bai Qiandao was not confident and felt illusory.
"I don't know, you don't need a reason to like someone! How many girlfriends have you... had?"
"One, we broke up a month ago."
"Why?"
"She disliked my lack of money, so she found a man who was handsomer and richer than me, and abandoned me."
"Don't she know you are working for Mai Tianxue?" Zhao Linglan asked in surprise.
"I only started working for the lady after I broke up with her."
Zhao Linglan laughed and said: "Rich men... There are not many people richer than Mai Tianxue in this world. Your ex-girlfriend will regret it."
"She regrets... No, I don't think so. I still have no money. The lady knows that I only have ninety-eight yuan, and I still owe the lady a lot of money. I have to pay back the memorial gift this time."
"Mai Tianxue asked you for it?" Zhao Linglan asked, looking around.
"No... the lady is very nice. She doesn't want me to pay back the money she lent me, but I can't do this."
A smile appeared on Zhao Linglan's face, she raised her head and said, "Let's do this! I'll give you how much money you owe her!"
"No, I can't ask for your money..." Bai Qiandao quickly refused before settling on the relationship. How could he ask her to pay for it!
"Just think of it as what you owe me! After we...get married, the debt will be written off." Zhao Linglan said softly.
Bai Qiandao pondered, it seemed that it was okay to do this, and once they got married, they should not talk about what they owed or not, which would hurt their feelings.
Suddenly I felt unreal, so I just confirmed the relationship and talked about marriage. It couldn't be that fast, right?
In the afternoon, Mai Tianxue called Qianli Tong to ask Bai Qiandao.
Bai Qiandao frankly said that she and Zhao Linglan were in a relationship and became friends, and she lent him money to repay them.
