Chapter 90: Suspecting He Has a Mistress?

"These are the Chinese New Year red envelopes given to me by Brother Han's grandfather and mother."

"Oh, I'm truly envious." Bai Shunan pinched Bai Shuruo's cheek and said, "I suspect your Brother Han is no simple person; I suspect his family is extremely wealthy."

"I'm not too clear on his family's situation. His grandfather might have some money, but he works in construction, and he also has a construction team over in M Country." Bai Shuruo said this quite proudly.

As long as she married well, then her sister wouldn't have to worry about her so much.

Bai Shunan looked at Bai Shuruo, smiling in a way that was unfathomable.

"Sister, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing. Ling Feng and Ni Xianglei are returning to Fengcheng in a while; how about we all go out for hot pot?"

"Sounds good."

……

The place for hot pot was the same old spot, the fourth floor of the Commercial City.

The sisters arrived first, and after waiting for over ten minutes, Ling Feng and Ni Xianglei arrived as well.

As soon as they arrived, the gaze of the waiter nearby was simply stunned.

The sisters were already top-tier in appearance, but no one expected there to be two handsome men as well; the four of them together looked like celebrities.

But the waiter was certain they weren't celebrities, because she had never seen them on television.

As soon as Ling Feng and Ni Xianglei arrived, they gave the sisters red envelopes.

Bai Shunan said, "Why are you giving us red envelopes? The custom in our Fengcheng is that only those who are married give red envelopes to those who are unmarried. Aren't you two single?"

Ni Xianglei said, "But the custom in our Beishi is that we give them if we want to; it's only natural for men to give red envelopes to women."

In truth, the two of them knew the sisters were currently poor, which is why they came up with the idea of giving red envelopes for the New Year.

Bai Shunan took the red envelope and felt that it was heavy, estimating it to be four or five thousand.

"Thank you for the red envelopes. Once my company makes money, I'll give you big red envelopes too," Bai Shunan said.

Bai Shuruo also felt embarrassed to open the red envelope, but seeing that her sister had accepted it, she accepted hers as well.

The soup in the pot began to boil, the dishes were served, and the group chatted while they shabu-shabued their food.

Ling Feng asked Bai Shunan, "Did your talk with the investors go smoothly?"

Bai Shunan said while eating, "It went quite smoothly. They even said they would poach some talent for me; they are all experts in the automotive industry. I also found a few myself—they are my father's old subordinates. They can officially start work after the Lantern Festival."

Ling Feng said, "Then would you like to reconsider me and Leizi? Your company should be lacking talent like me, and also a legal consultant like Leizi."

Bai Shunan was stunned: "But aren't you Han Yangting's people? You aren't helping him anymore?"

Ni Xianglei explained from the side, "I've already talked to Yangting about this. He thinks it's more appropriate for us to work with you. For one, he doesn't lack talent on his end, and for another, your company is just starting out; if we can make it a success, it would better reflect our value."

Bai Shuruo couldn't help but say, "Did Brother Han really say that? It wasn't... your own idea?"

Ling Feng looked at Bai Shuruo's anxious expression and couldn't help but laugh: "Ruoruo is anxious. Are you afraid that if we jump ship, your Brother Han will be unhappy?"

Bai Shuruo paused; that was exactly what she was thinking.

Were Ling Feng and Ni Xianglei choosing romance over loyalty? Because they wanted to help Bai Shunan, they were even abandoning Han Yangting—and they had come to Fengcheng originally for Han Yangting's sake.

"I'm worried that if you leave, there won't be anyone left to do the work for Brother Han."

Ling Feng laughed: "You absolutely don't need to worry about that. The one thing your Brother Han doesn't lack is talent. If you don't believe me, go ask him and you'll know; he has whatever kind of person he wants."

Bai Shuruo: "……"

Hearing Ling Feng's words, for the first time, she doubted Han Yangting's identity.

Seeing her look of ignorance and confusion, Ling Feng couldn't help but laugh: "Your Brother Han has plenty of surprises you don't know about. You'll find out later."

He had assumed Bai Shuruo would have guessed Han Yangting's family background, but he didn't expect that after being dazed for a moment, Bai Shuruo suddenly looked up and asked Ling Feng: "Brother Han... does he have other friends over in M Country?"

Although this question about "other friends" was asked cryptically, everyone present understood.

Bai Shuruo was worried that Han Yangting might still have a wife over in M Country.

Or perhaps a "white moonlight" or something of the sort.

Ling Feng and Ni Xianglei were both stunned, not understanding Bai Shuruo's train of thought. Bai Shunan laughed: "Why else would I say my sister is easy to fool? No matter what happens, she always thinks of the worst side first."

Ling Feng simply said, "Then I'll make a video call to Yangting; otherwise, you won't believe us, and you won't believe him either."

"No need..." Bai Shuruo didn't have time to stop him, and Ling Feng's call had already connected.

It was currently past seven in the morning in M Country, but Han Yangting was already in a full suit. His expression and tone were very serious: "Ling Feng, didn't you return to Fengcheng? Have you seen Ruoruo?"

Ling Feng laughed: "Look at you, your first instinct is to care about your little wife, but do you know your little wife... never mind, you two talk."

He handed the phone to Bai Shuruo.

Bai Shuruo hadn't video-chatted with Han Yangting for a few days, and now that she saw him, she couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Brother Han, are you doing well in M Country? We didn't disturb you, did we?" Bai Shuruo asked.

"I'm doing quite well. I have a meeting to attend in a bit, but ten minutes is no problem. By the way, what did Ling Feng say was wrong with you just now?"

"Nothing," Bai Shuruo naturally changed the subject immediately, "Ling Feng and Leizi want to jump ship... I don't know if you've agreed to this?"

Ling Feng whispered to Ni Xianglei and Bai Shunan: "Ruoruo is actually quite devious."

Bai Shunan said with a smile: "That's how she gets when she's feeling guilty."

Han Yangting didn't answer Bai Shuruo's question immediately either, but instead asked her: "Is Ruoruo worried that I can't accept it? Are you worried that I've been betrayed by my friends?"

"Uh... a little bit... worried," Bai Shuruo said.

Han Yangting said: "It doesn't matter. If they are determined to leave, I can't keep them. Just let them go help your sister. Although those two aren't top-tier talent on my end, for a company of yours that is just starting out, it's a bit of a waste of their talents. By the way, they also want to buy into the company; they are both rich second-generation kids from Beishi, make them pay more. Also, did they give you red envelopes?"

"Yes, they did," Bai Shuruo said.

"That's fine then. I'm going to a meeting," Han Yangting said.

"Goodbye, Brother Han." Bai Shuruo hung up the phone immediately and then returned it to Ling Feng.

Ling Feng shook his head helplessly: "When this couple is facing the outside world, they are both cunning as foxes, but when they get together, they are both incredibly silly."
