The Young Matriarch

Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Finally Met You

After the meal, Bai Chuwei left the private room, and the restaurant manager approached with a beaming smile, handing her a wooden food box. “Chef Cao prepared this specially for you.”

Without looking, Bai Chuwei could tell by the smell that it was another fried dish, perfect to take back and feed to Xue Qiu.

Bai Yinyin began to grumble beside her with indignation. “Since when does the chef at Juxian Pavilion do takeout?”

Why!!

Bai Chuwei glanced at Bai Yinyin and asked indifferently, “Do you know why Bai Guofu manages to be lively and kicking even at the age of seventy?”

Bai Guofu immediately came over with a laugh, “It’s the blessing of our ancestors!”

Bai Chuwei shot a look at Bai Yinyin, her voice cool, “Because he dares not to meddle in my business.”

Bai Yinyin’s face turned a mottled shade of purple and blue. “You—”

Carrying the food box, Bai Chuwei stepped out of Juxian Pavilion and had only walked a few steps when she heard Bai Shang calling from behind. “Cousin Weiwei.”

Bai Chuwei turned around with a smile. “What does second brother Shang need me for?”

Bai Shang’s eyes narrowed, and he smiled shrewdly when he began to speak, his expression especially clever. He stroked his chin, “Weiwei has been giving me signals and drawing circles on the table, wasn’t that a sign for me to come to you?

Bai Chuwei clicked her tongue; Bai Shang was no fool, indeed a good material for doing business. In the original work, following the male and female leads around to confront the major antagonist Duan Feihan was just asking for bankruptcy!

“Second brother, I’ve got a piece of news that could earn you a fortune,” Bai Chuwei said, drawing out her words.

A gleam of curiosity flashed in Bai Shang’s eyes as he regarded Bai Chuwei.

“Hasn’t the Tong Family been contracted for a big project lately?”

This wasn’t any business secret; Bai Shang knew it already and looked at Bai Chuwei somewhat surprised.

Bai Chuwei lowered her voice and said, “Within a month, the Tong Family will be attacked by several powerful families, triggering an economic crisis. It’s all up to you, second brother Shang, whether you can make a killing from it.”

Bai Shang’s mind buzzed, and he stared at Bai Chuwei in astonishment.

“The Tong Family in trouble? How is that possible?!” Bai Shang was shocked.

Although the Tong Family was only second-rate in Haicheng, their strength was not weak, and with Tong Yunrou about to marry into the Duan Family, the union would strengthen both families even more. At such a time, the Tong Family would be in trouble?

It seemed unbelievable.

Bai Chuwei’s smile deepened, becoming more mysterious.

Bai Chuwei’s tone was confident and buoyant, “If I say it can happen, then it definitely will.”

Just a few days were left before the end of the month, and it looked like the Tong Family wasn’t planning to return the four billion to her. She couldn’t be blamed for taking action; she had given them a chance.

As the saying goes, don’t let the water flow into others’ fields. She was sharing this news with Bai Shang to see if he could bring some money back. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Bai Chuwei looked at Bai Shang, who was still in shock, and said with profound meaning, “Second brother, I have high hopes for you.”

Bai Chuwei sympathetically added, “Also, the Cuiyu Porcelain Vase you gifted was a replica, you’ve been swindled.”

Bai Shang: “???” He had been swindled?

So… he gifted a fake porcelain vase, and his older brother Bai Ze gave heaps of test papers? Were they all useless junk?

Bai Shang’s mood became quite complicated all of a sudden.

He had just ridiculed his older brother at the dining table for not understanding students…

Was this the case of the pot calling the kettle black?

Bai Chuwei patted his shoulder and said with a casual smile, “Alright, I’m heading home first. I’m looking forward to seeing you make big money.”

Bai Chuwei strolled leisurely toward the underground parking lot, and just then, a white nanny car drove up from a distance—

Bai Chuwei wondered whether to kick and burst the nanny car’s tire, but the car stopped steadily in front of her, and a handsome man got out.

Duan Xiuqi’s eyes were complex as he looked at Bai Chuwei. “I’ve finally met you. I want to have a talk.”
