Wan Chu’er’s enthusiasm ended up being doused by a cold splash from Xiao Bai, but she didn’t get discouraged, knowing that one has to walk the path to find out if they can reach the other shore.
Xiao Bai is currently under a lot of pressure, she understands and doesn’t argue with Xiao Bai.
Seeing Wan Chu’er so persistent, Xiao Bai was sowhat moved, so she said, "Alright, just confirm the ti at least three days in advance and inform , I will cooperate, but otherwise, I am powerless for now."
With Xiao Bai’s promise, Wan Chu’er didn’t delay and left the company right away.
On the road, she was thinking about where to start while driving her car, rushing to the old house.
When she was almost at the old house, she received a call from Jiang Lingling, it seed to be about urging for a wedding dress.
"The wedding dress will take two more days, just wait." After saying that, she hung up Jiang Lingling’s call, as she couldn’t afford to deal with Jiang Lingling right now.
Jiang Lingling stood shocked, holding the phone, unable to recover for a while. Wan Chu’er’s tone was too cold just now.
That was rather rude of her!
She had signed the agreent, agreed to exchange the old wedding dress for a new one, and had already been waiting for three days! Not a single call from Wan Chu’er during these three days, and when she made a call herself, she didn’t even get a chance to speak before getting abruptly cut off.
This is infuriating!
Fuming, Jiang Lingling dialed again, but Wan Chu’er hung up directly, infuriating her to the point where she threw the phone and thought, "Wan Chu’er, don’t expect to tell you anything ever again, or to help you with anything!"
Little did she know that aside from telling Wan Chu’er about Lin Jiayi and Simon’s plan to acquire Hailang, she hadn’t really done anything else for Wan Chu’er but had indeed added a lot of trouble for her.
Returning to the old house, Wan Chu’er arrived just in ti for dinner, as everyone was dining, Lishan was in the yard watching over the children with Mao Xiaoyu, one child each in their arms.
She didn’t overthink and approached them, saying, "Brother Lishan, go have your al, hand the children over to ."
Lishan glowered at her unhappily, feeling Wan Chu’er was quite an interruption, "I am not hungry, you go eat, Mrs. Zhu made your favorite dishes."
Wan Chu’er, puzzled by Lishan’s glare, felt he was unappreciative and then turned to Mao Xiaoyu:
"Xiao Yu, give the children, go have your al, and after eating, we’ll go ho."
Mao Xiaoyu quickly handed the children over to Wan Chu’er, relievedly agreed, and then hurried to the backyard — she had been tense all afternoon, feeling pressured by the larger stature of Brother Lishan.
Seeing Mao Xiaoyu quickly disappear, Lishan grunted and glared at Wan Chu’er again, picking up Little Zhuanqi and leaving.
Leaving Wan Chu’er alone, disheveled by the wind, wondering when she had beco such an annoyance to Lishan?!
Wan Chu’er carried Hunter into the dining room, and glancing at the stern-faced Lishan, she asked Old Sir Zhong, "Grandpa, what’s with Brother Lishan today?"
Old Sir Zhong chuckled twice and said, "If you’re busy, just send the children and Xiao Yu over here during the day, this girl Xiao Yu is quite good."
"Oh." Seeing that the old man did not elaborate, assuming he didn’t know, she no longer pursued it and turned to ntion other matters.
"Grandpa, I might need to wave your big banner outside these days, or I might not."
She wasn’t sure how widespread Xiao Bai’s popularity in the university was and whether so vested interests might block it.
Old Sir Zhong raised his eyebrows, "Need to make a call to the Ministry of Education?"
"No need, if we can manage without using your na, let’s do so," Wan Chu’er cheerily said, she cherished her grandpa’s reputation and didn’t want his honor to be tarnished at the end of his life.
What she could resolve herself, she would definitely handle on her own.
Old Sir Zhong smiled and shook his head, asking, "What are you planning to do?"
Wan Chu’er then shared her plan to have Xiao Bai give a lecture at the university, Old Sir Zhong nodded approvingly and exclaid, "That’s a good cause, it should be encouraged, if you run into any difficulties, don’t keep them to yourself."
"Okay, got it."
After dinner, when they were about to leave, Wan Chu’er noticed Li Shan hesitatingly handing over Chuanqi to Mao Xiaoyu, stealing glances at her from ti to ti, even his ears were blushing.
Wan Chu’er finally understood, she just felt like thunder was rolling, was this love at first sight? It ca too suddenly.
When Mao Xiaoyu got into the car, Li Shan blandly told Wan Chu’er, "Hire another nanny when you get back, I’ll pay."
"What are you trying to do?" Wan Chu’er blurted out, trying to steal her Mao Xiaoyu away?
Li Shan indignantly said, "Your house is so big, it will wear Xiaoyu out."
What do you an so big, the house in Jinse Garden compared to the old mansion is very small! Wan Chu’er’s mouth twitched, and after a roll of her eyes, she said, "Lend five million, I’ll hire another nanny, and send the twins and Xiaoyu to the old mansion every day."
All her money had been given to Xiao Bai for school activities, she would definitely need money.
Who would have known, after hearing her words, Li Shan said nothing, turned around, and walked away.
Wan Chu’er: "..."
What does that an? Does talking about money hurt feelings?
She turned her head to look at Mao Xiaoyu in the passenger seat, seeing that she had no reaction, shook her head, and prepared to get in the car to leave.
Just as the car started, Li Shan ca running out of the door, gasping, "Stop!"
He walked over to Wan Chu’er, glanced at the baffled Mao Xiaoyu, quickly averted his gaze, and threw a card at Wan Chu’er.
"There’s six million in there, co back tomorrow."
Wan Chu’er: "...okay."
She finally understood what the old master had ant before; the old master had already seen the signs.
On the way back, Wan Chu’er casually asked Mao Xiaoyu.
"How was it today at the old mansion? Did anyone bully you?"
Mao Xiaoyu imdiately said, "No one bullied , everyone is quite nice, Mrs. Zhu is very kind, she taught a lot, Grandpa Zhong also told not to be restrained, Brother Lishan... Brother Lishan is also quite nice."
Speaking of Li Shan, Mao Xiaoyu stuttered a bit; she rembered that this afternoon, Li Shan kept a wooden face and his gaze seed to keep watch over her sohow.
Wan Chu’er caught the peculiarity in Mao Xiaoyu’s words, subtly raised her eyebrows, and smiled:
"Don’t think Brother Lishan is just a block of wood, always with a stern face, actually, he’s just too clumsy, doesn’t know how to interact with people, so he pretends to be cool.
You’ll co to the old mansion often, you’ll inevitably have to interact with Li Shan, Brother Lishan is very skilled, so try not to provoke him.
Also, Brother Lishan is a low-key rich man, the first gift he gave was a sports car, get along well with him, and you’ll naturally benefit in the future."
Since Li Shan was interested in Mao Xiaoyu, and she was brought by Jiang Kechu, naturally there’s no problem, she also thought Mao Xiaoyu was a nice person.
If the two of them could indeed develop sothing, she would be happy to see it happen.
Li Shan blooming like a steel flower, truly not easy, must cherish.
Listening to this, Mao Xiaoyu was astonished, hastily shaking her head and hands when she heard the last part, "Sister-in-law, you’ve already been very kind to , I won’t take anything from Brother Lishan."
Wan Chu’er smiled, and said no more.
