Chapter 2523 - 1852: Amidst Laughter and Conversation
Yang Junluo was exceptionally happy to see Bai Xiaosheng, displaying great enthusiasm. The old man kept holding Bai Xiaosheng’s hand, speaking non-stop, even more affectionate and kind than a close elder.
Yang Xiaoyun sat beside, with a smile on his face, appearing very pleased.
Bai Xiaosheng also smiled warmly, responding to Yang Junluo’s endless words, showing no signs of impatience.
Anyone unaware would think that this harmonious trio of generations was a family.
Lin Weiwei, Lei Ying, along with Yang Yishan, all knew this was mere play-acting, yet they still felt "admiration" in their hearts.
It seems that to achieve great things, one must first become an actor...
"Child, we haven’t seen each other for so long, but your achievements now have surpassed the past, reaching even higher. Look at you, you’ve become the head of the Huaxia Business Group!"
"I heard people like Dong Tianlu, Lu Tiandao, Zhang Qinglin are all beneath you now, incredible, truly incredible!"
"After hearing about your situation, I felt extremely happy and deeply comforted, happy for Wei!"
With Yang Junluo’s status, speaking to Bai Xiaosheng like this, it seemed to Yang Xiaoyun and his daughter as really trying hard to elevate Bai Xiaosheng.
Yang Junluo praised Bai Xiaosheng highly, then looked at Yang Yishan, patting Bai Xiaosheng’s hand with deep regret, "Wei really is lucky to have a grandson-in-law like you. Oh, it’s a pity I don’t have that fortune. Look at my granddaughter, she hasn’t found anyone pleasing so far, let alone someone as outstanding as you!"
The implication in Yang Junluo’s words was that he wished Bai Xiaosheng would change his affection and fancy his granddaughter.
Upon hearing these words, Yang Yishan felt awkward and rolled her eyes widely when she pretended to get up to replenish the teapot.
Of course, this eye-roll wasn’t aimed at her grandpa but at Bai Xiaosheng.
In Yang Yishan’s heart, does that Bai deserve her attention?
He’s only sitting here relying on his girlfriend’s elders, receiving praise from her grandpa.
Not understanding what’s wrong with her grandpa, elevating him so much. Even considering the face for Wei Tianhe, this is too much...
Contrary to Yang Yishan, Lin Weiwei was also murmuring to herself in her heart.
Yang Yishan, does she deserve to pair up with Bai Xiaosheng?
It’s probably only Wei Xuelian, the future Family Head, who has that qualification...
"Old Mr. Yang, please don’t say that. I’m unworthy of such praise. Your grandson-in-law surely must be as exceptional as a dragon among men, a role model for my generation."
Yang Junluo could talk, but Bai Xiaosheng could speak even better, which made Yang Junluo laugh, shaking his head and waving his hand in resignation.
After the words of praise, Yang Junluo shifted the topic and asked Bai Xiaosheng, "Sheng, I’m somewhat known in the African business circle with quite a few friends. How is your Huaxia Business Group doing with its recent signings? Do you need me to introduce some friends to help? If needed, don’t hesitate to ask me, not claiming too much, but letting your people return fully laden, I can manage that."
As the saying goes, one doesn’t hit a smiling face, especially when cooperation and benefits are offered voluntarily by a respected business veteran.
Yang Junluo used emotion and benefits to resolve old grudges with Bai Xiaosheng, being quite painstaking.
"Old Mr. Yang, thank you for your kind intentions. We’ve been quite productive recently, so no need to trouble you. Your goodwill is appreciated, and I thank you on behalf of them." Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.
Yang Junluo was being polite; really asking him for help, with Yang Xiaoyun’s previous situations as cautionary tales, who would dare trust easily.
"Oh, Sheng, you shouldn’t be too formal with me!" Yang Junluo feigned displeasure, "We’re family, no need to speak in a detached manner."
"Yes." Bai Xiaosheng nodded with a smile, showing an attitude of listening to elder’s advice.
As the two chatted, a servant from the Yang Family came to report that lunch was ready.
The hour indeed wasn’t early, and it was the right time for lunch.
Yang Junluo patted Bai Xiaosheng’s arm with a kind smile, "Child, come, let’s chat while we eat, accompany me for a few more drinks."
Nearby, hearing this, Yang Xiaoyun immediately stepped forward to dissuade, "Dad, the doctor told you to cut out alcohol..."
"Nonsense!" Yang Junluo glared at his son, "Sheng is visiting today, I’m happy, what doctor’s orders, don’t mention them!"
Yang Xiaoyun had a look of wanting to speak but stopped, reluctantly nodding, as a concession.
"Mr. Bai, see, you came, and my father made an exception to drink today, he’s truly happy." Yang Xiaoyun said with a smile to Bai Xiaosheng.
Every other person hearing these words, knowing that the esteemed elder of the Yang Family treated them so favorably, would surely feel overwhelmed with surprise and gratitude.
Bai Xiaosheng reacted calmly, merely exchanging polite words with Yang Junluo, without any sign of being moved.
Yang Junluo didn’t mind, pulling Bai Xiaosheng straight towards the castle’s dining room.
Yang Xiaoyun and Yang Yishan followed, along with Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying.
When Bai Xiaosheng introduced Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying to the Yang Family, he specially mentioned that they were his "partners," not subordinates or secretaries.
Out of regard for Bai Xiaosheng, Yang Junluo invited Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying to join the meal as well.
With Bai Xiaosheng’s nod of approval, Lin Weiwei had no reason to refuse.
The group walked a good ten minutes to reach the designated dining room of the European-style castle, which was large, with furnishings that matched, appearing old yet exuding lavishness.
Chinese dishes paired with Western red wine didn’t seem out of place.
