Chapter 721 - 302: My Wife Disagrees!
On the way back to Jiangbei.
Bai Qing chose to sit in the passenger seat because she thought Jiang Banxia usually sat there. Although she was quite timid in front of Jiang Banxia, privately, she didn’t want to be seen as lower than her.
After a while, she spoke up, "Actually, I hesitated that day, but then I remembered something you said."
"What did I say?"
"When in doubt, consult Xia Feng. If Xia Feng doesn’t respond, follow your heart."
Li Yang: "??????"
When did I ever say that?
Someone like me talking about that literary nonsense?
What Xia Feng, follow your heart—it’s just an excuse, isn’t it?
"Did I really say that?"
"Yep, that night the moonlight was beautiful, you pulled me to the balcony, and I leaned on the window rail."
"And then?"
"Then you got tired and said you needed a rest, and you uttered those words in your dream."
"Alright, I’ll use this excuse to tell your parents."
"No, no, please no..."
In the end, Bai Qing chickened out.
She didn’t really want to face Li Yang’s parents. She wasn’t mentally prepared for it, so she wanted to act a bit clueless.
Based on previous experience, Li Yang would surely understand her mindset and handle things in a way that made her comfortable.
Aside from their initial meeting, these past years, Li Yang had provided her with considerable emotional value.
"I just feel the timing isn’t right. I’m definitely happy, just worried the elders won’t be able to accept it for now."
"It’s okay, they’ll accept it."
Li Yang hadn’t decided this on a whim; he had thought about it before.
The next three years would be a great opportunity. Missing these three years would make it hard to find another chance.
Seeing her struggle in vain, Bai Qing said, "Well, let’s not rush. Once I tidy up the house after we get back today, we’ll meet again later."
"Okay."
Meeting today, Li Yang was also worried his parents wouldn’t handle it well.
It had to be taken step by step.
...
Green Water Heaven and Earth in the south of Jiang City has now become the busiest commercial complex in the county.
Especially since it’s only a month away from New Year, many who work outside have returned home, and nobody knows how many young men and women are meeting and dating there every day.
About five hundred meters away from the mall, there’s a villa community with only a few villas.
Li Yang drove directly into the parking lot, and after traveling for a while, he stopped at an elevator entrance.
While he was retrieving the luggage, the three people had already gotten out of the car.
Li Yang swiped the elevator card and led the three people inside.
This was on the -2nd floor.
The elevator only stopped on the first floor; actually, the -1st floor was already considered a room, but there wasn’t much there, just a large safe that Chen Peipei had installed.
Welded directly to the ground, it covered an area of over thirty square meters.
If filled completely, it could hold three thousand tons of gold, though the house’s structure might not support it.
A ton of gold takes up very little space; twenty tons only occupies one cubic meter.
Once on the first floor, as soon as Bai Qing opened the door, she saw people busy at the opposite door.
That familiar figure—how could she not recognize them? It was Li Yang’s parents.
Though they lived in the same community and the same building before, at least they were on different floors, and Bai Qing didn’t have a regular schedule, so they rarely met.
Now they were directly door to door...
...
Li Likun sensed that something wasn’t quite right.
He had just seen people living at the opposite door.
That alone wasn’t a big deal, but he vaguely saw Li Yang’s figure.
Although there was a bit of distance, and Li Yang was indoors, so he couldn’t see clearly.
But that was his own son!
Even with a mask and protective suit, he could recognize him at a glance, so naturally, he could identify him from a blurry silhouette.
He didn’t know why they had moved to the villa side for living, after finally getting familiar with neighbors at Qingshui Bay.
Plus, Jiang Yaoting’s family hadn’t moved over; he didn’t know what Li Yang was doing.
After a while, when Li Yang returned, Li Likun pulled him aside and asked, "Were you just at the opposite door?"
"Yeah, what’s up?"
"Do you know the people at the opposite door?"
Li Yang immediately said, "Of course I do, they’re my business partners, and they’re the most famous entrepreneur in Jiang City, owners of Green Water Group."
"Hmm? Isn’t Green Water Group yours?"
"They have more shares than I do!"
Li Likun frowned and continued to ask, "I saw a young girl."
"Yeah, it’s precisely because she’s a young girl that I went over to help. I even intend to have you elders go over for a chat, see if she needs anything. You know, young people these days don’t really understand life, and my relationship with her is good."
"Li Yang, I warn you, you’re already married."
In Li Likun’s instinct, this wasn’t a good thing.
And it turned out, his instincts were spot on.
Li Yang helplessly said, "Dad, the way you’re talking makes it sound like there’s something between us. Don’t even mention that we’re just friends; even if there were something, what would it matter? I’ve known her far longer than I’ve been with Jiang Banxia."
"Hmm?"
Li Likun didn’t expect Li Yang to say something so shameless.
"Mom, Dad, if you have time this afternoon, go have a look. I need to head to the company; there’s some work."
Li Yang was just introducing the idea, giving them some preparation.
At least bringing Bai Qing to the same level as Jiang Banxia would facilitate subsequent actions.
In the short term, it definitely couldn’t be recognized; otherwise, the heavens of the whole house might collapse.
He headed to Wanliu Capital, happened to be lunchtime, and joined Jiang Banxia in the cafeteria for a meal before going to the office.
