Chapter 310: That Fool of His

~7 min read 1,345 words

Bai Shuruo was worried that Nana would be jealous, so she said to Nana: "Xiaofeng is a child who values relationships deeply, and she and Meng Ze..."

Nana hurriedly took Bai Shuruo's hand: "I know. You and Meng Ze are like family. Meng Ze has lacked love since he was little. If someone can make him feel love, he will give everything he has, so he considers you and Xiaofeng to be family."

Bai Shuruo felt a bit ashamed: "It's a pity I haven't repaid him well."

"No need to repay. I also know that he approached me at first because of you. He thought I was pestering Brother Yangting, so he wanted to seduce me away. He asked for thirty million, bought a house, and started a company, just to have the conditions to seduce me." Nana said with a smile: "That fool."

Bai Shuruo, however, did not know these things, and she was stunned.

"Meng Ze said he used to mistakenly think he liked you, but actually he didn't. It was only after he was with me that he knew what love was." Nana said with some pride.

Bai Shuruo couldn't help but laugh: "Oh my, you used to show off your affection on social media, and now you're showing it off in front of me."

"I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to go play with Meng Ze and Xiaofeng. Ruoruo, you go ahead and entertain the other guests."

"Alright."

Just as she finished speaking, she saw Bai Shunan and her group arrive.

Bai Shunan and Gu Yunting, followed by Lin Wanfen and Bai Shuhua.

"Sister, brother-in-law, Aunt Fen, and Shuhua, when did you arrive?" Bai Shuruo went to greet them happily.

Bai Shunan said: "We arrived in Beishi last night. We were worried you wouldn't have time, so we only came over today."

"You should have come to stay at my place. I have time."

Lin Wanfen said: "Didn't you just finish your postpartum recovery? We were afraid you would catch a chill."

"Well, I've finished my postpartum recovery today, so you all should stay at my place tonight," Bai Shuruo said.

The others all nodded.

It was Lin Wanfen and Bai Shuhua's first time at the Manor, and they were truly like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, very curious.

Bai Shunan said: "Ruoruo, if you are busy, go ahead and be busy. I'll take them around for a bit."

"What could I be busy with? Today is just for entertaining you all," Bai Shuruo laughed.

Han Yangting had said he would be responsible for greeting his side of the guests, while she would greet her maiden family's guests, and there were only these few guests from her maiden family.

However, Bai Shuruo had just finished her postpartum recovery, and everyone didn't want her to be too tired, nor did they want her walking around everywhere.

Gu Yunting pulled Bai Shunan: "Nannan, it's not suitable for you to walk too much either. Why don't you two sisters sit together? I'll take Aunt Fen and Shuhua around."

Bai Shuruo immediately realized something, and she took Bai Shunan's arm: "Sister, are you pregnant?"

Bai Shunan smiled and pulled her hand over: "Yes, only two months."

"Congratulations, sister. Xiaofeng will be very happy when she hears this news."

"Next time we gather, the little ones will have companions to play with."

"Sister, we must gather more often in the future, especially during winter and summer vacations."

"Alright. If I don't have time during the vacations, I'll dump the child at your place, and if you don't have time, you dump the child at my place. As for the adults, we'll go enjoy some time as a couple."

"That's great, that's great."

Meng Ze was leading Xiaofeng to play when Xiaofeng suddenly shouted: "Grandpa."

Meng Ze turned around and saw Han Dongbei and Ye Caiyue walking toward them.

When Han Dongbei saw Meng Ze, he couldn't help but call out: "A Ze."

However, with Ye Caiyue by his side, he didn't dare to appear too enthusiastic.

Ye Caiyue, however, said to Xiaofeng: "Xiaofeng, come with Grandma. Grandma will take you to meet some little sisters who are about your age."

"Okay." Xiaofeng hopped over.

Ye Caiyue took Xiaofeng's hand and left, letting Han Dongbei and Meng Ze talk alone.

Han Dongbei knew that Ye Caiyue had already made the greatest concession. He looked at her retreating figure with gratitude, then walked in front of Meng Ze.

"A Ze, how have you been lately?"

Han Dongbei hadn't seen Meng Ze for a long time. Although he had contacted him, he always said he was busy.

"Pretty good, just busy," Meng Ze said.

"Young people, it's good to be busy." Han Dongbei asked again: "Is the money enough to spend?"

"It's enough," Meng Ze said: "I took a few tens of millions from you before; I will be able to pay you back soon."

"No need to pay it back. What kind of relationship do we have? There's no need to draw such clear lines."

Meng Ze said: "It's better to draw clear lines. Everyone has their own life. If we are connected too closely, it won't be easy for you to explain to your family."

Han Dongbei's lips moved, and he felt guilty.

But what he could give Meng Ze was indeed little.

Meng Ze said: "I'm going to go keep Nana company. You go do what you need to do."

This "you" (nin) was both polite and distant.

Ling Feng and Mou Lili also arrived.

At first, Ling Feng wanted to hold Mou Lili's hand, but Mou Lili shook it off.

"Don't be so intimate with me," Mou Lili said.

"If you don't want to be intimate with me, why did you come with me?"

"To see if there are any rich suckers to hook," Mou Lili said.

"Fine, you had impure motives from the start."

"It's rare to have so many rich people here. What if one of them who is blind takes a fancy to me?"

"Anyone who takes a fancy to you must be one of those old widowers."

"That's perfect. I can inherit the family property after serving them for a few years."

Ling Feng was very unhappy: "Do you think the money of the rich is so easy to inherit? If they want to marry you, they will definitely sign a prenuptial agreement; by then, you won't even know how you died."

"I'm just teasing you, don't be so serious."

The two walked toward the Manor.

At the reception desk, Ling Feng handed over his large red envelope, then led Mou Lili to find Bai Shuruo.

"Little Ruoruo, congratulations to you on the joyous birth of your child," Ling Feng said happily when he saw Bai Shuruo.

"Thank you, Brother Ling," Bai Shuruo said.

Seeing Mou Lili there, Bai Shuruo smiled and greeted her: "Lili, I've come across your videos on the video channel."

"Really?" Mou Lili couldn't believe it.

"Yes, when I was in my postpartum confinement, I would scroll through videos when bored, and I stumbled upon yours; you sing really well," Bai Shuruo said.

"I'm just singing randomly," Mou Lili smiled.

"You even won an award; I saw you singing on stage with the children," Bai Shuruo said.

"I don't know how I even won it," Mou Lili was not used to others praising her.

"You are too modest," Bai Shuruo chatted with Mou Lili with increasing enthusiasm: "So, are you still going back to Gui Province?"

"Not for the time being; we'll stay in Beishi for a while first, and wait for an opportunity to go to other places."

"Then will Brother Ling go too?"

Mou Lili glanced at Ling Feng: "Him? I'm not sure."

Ling Feng was watching the baby sleep, looking very intently.

Mou Lili then said: "Ling Feng probably won't go."

Ling Feng heard clearly and said: "You aren't me, how would you know?"

Just as they were speaking, Bai Shuruo suddenly said: "Brother Ling, your parents have arrived too."
