Chapter 521 - 522:
Tang Jingming: "..."
Did the old virgin take advantage of your family’s rice?
Bai Yuejie had not visited Shi Lingyan for quite a while.
Firstly, it was because she was busy with company matters, and secondly, her parents were concerned about her health and did not allow her to go out.
Yet Bai Yuejie’s health had improved a lot, and her heart yearned for Shi Lingyan so much that she sneakily slipped out.
However, when she made a call to Shi Lingyan upon leaving the house, nobody answered.
Then she called the head office’s secretary desk. Upon asking, she was told that the president wasn’t in and that Yun Du was the current person in charge of the company. She inquired about the reason and learned that he had gone on a business trip.
Bai Yuejie felt somewhat disappointed, but with nothing else to do, she drove to visit Grandma Shi to improve their relationship.
Grandma Shi was now enjoying her relaxed golden years with no financial pressures. Every day she would gather a few old friends to play, and at this moment, she was in the Shi Family’s courtyard with a mahjong table set up, the group of old ladies thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Bai Yuejie didn’t visit often, mostly when Shi Lingyan was around.
But she had never seen so many people there in all her visits to the Shi Family home.
These old ladies recognized Bai Yuejie, and upon seeing her, they were quite surprised. One of them spoke up, "Miss Bai from the Bai Family, who are you looking for?"
Old Lady Shi heard this and realized Bai Yuejie had arrived.
But at that moment, she didn’t have the time to look up. She tossed down her mahjong tiles and exclaimed, "Self-drawn win, wow, big three dragons with a pure hand front, three hundred each from everyone!"
"Wow, how come you always draw the winning tile yourself!"
"How much have you won today, give others a chance!" The ladies reluctantly took out their money.
Old Lady Shi had a smug look on her face, "Of course, who do you think I am!"
After happily collecting the money, she finally turned to Bai Yuejie, "Oh, Yuejie is here, have a seat. Xiao Xu, see what Miss Bai would like to drink." Then she looked again at Bai Yuejie, "Come on, you’ve never played, right? Just in time to join us, sit here by my side."
Aunt Chen had already brought over a stool, "Miss Bai, please sit down."
Bai Yuejie had come precisely to bond with Old Lady Shi. It was just what she wanted, and she promptly sat down by her side.
The old ladies beside her exchanged glances and began to speak, "The Bai Family girl looks much healthier now, and her complexion is quite rosy."
Bai Yuejie felt happy and touched her face, replying, "Thank you, Grandma Chen, you also seem to be getting younger and younger. I heard your grandson made quite a bit from stock trading recently. I followed suit and bought some shares for a while. He’s quite impressive, with a unique eye for it."
Grandma Chen was very proud when it came to her grandson, but she still said, "Ah, it’s just a child playing around. I just let him do what he enjoys. If he wins, it’s a profit, and if he loses, well, it’s just for fun."
Another old lady couldn’t help but interject, "Oh my, just for fun? Who plays around with tens of millions, even billions, except Ling Yan?"
"Eh, speaking of Ling Yan, why haven’t we seen him these past few days? Where did he go?"
"He’s gone on a business trip," Old Mrs. Shi shuffled the mahjong tiles, "to Beijing. I heard he’s working on some project, something about investments, I don’t understand it, just let him have his fun."
Her words carried weight, and the other old ladies inwardly cursed her for showing off, yet they couldn’t help but feel envious.
"By the way, Ling Yan and that silly woman he was with before also got divorced," Grandma Chen suddenly asked, "Yuejie, have you and Ling Yan been getting along well recently?"
