Chapter 481 - 185: Bai Weixi’s Parents Visit, I Want to Have Your Monkey_3
As a seasoned official, He Zhi was shrewd and quick-witted. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
He widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Old Bai, sister-in-law, don’t tell me you two came here specifically looking for this family? I remember your daughter also got into a university this year, and I think it was in Modu. This family’s son also just went to Modu for university this year. That’s too much of a coincidence.
"Over the past few days, a few classmates have mentioned that your daughter found a wealthy boyfriend who even bought you a Mercedes... Damn, it couldn’t be this family, could it? Old Bai, what’s going on?"
Bai Tianqi’s heart leaped into his throat. "Old He, don’t make wild guesses," he said hurriedly.
But the more He Zhi spoke, the more certain he became. A grin spread across his face as he stared at Bai Tianqi and his wife, ready to spring his trap. "Old Bai, sister-in-law, I know why you’re here. You want to check out your daughter’s future in-laws, right?"
Having hit the nail on the head, both Bai Tianqi and Yang Jinyu looked awkward, their expressions shifting uncomfortably.
Seeing their reaction, He Zhi knew he had guessed correctly. He slapped his thigh and cried out, "Holy cow, I was right! Old Bai, sister-in-law, you two sure know how to keep a secret."
Seeing no way to deny it, Bai Tianqi could only stammer, "Old He, just keep it to yourself, please. Don’t spread it around. The kids haven’t made anything official yet."
He Zhi nodded with a look of understanding, his eyes filled with delight. With this connection, maybe I can get Bai Tianqi to act as a go-between during the New Year and bring some investment to Banxu Town.
"Old Bai, I get it," he said. "Don’t worry. You know how tight-lipped I am, don’t you?"
"You want to meet his parents, right? Come on, I’ll take you there now."
Bai Tianqi nodded, then paused. "There’s no need to go to their house," he cautioned. "We just want to get a general idea of the situation."
He Zhi nodded cheerfully. "Understood. I come here often, so I know my way around. Let’s find the village chief of Dali Village first and get some information discreetly..."
Bai Tianqi and Yang Jinyu exchanged a look and nodded in agreement.
「...」
In distant Modu, at the Jinxiu Villas residential area.
Li Yuan was completely unaware of what was unfolding back in his hometown, where Bai Weixi’s parents were worrying themselves sick over their daughter and investigating his family.
Looking at Zhong Tingyue, who had fallen asleep beside him, a faint smile touched Li Yuan’s lips, relieved to have settled Little Moon down for the time being.
Li Yuan hadn’t bought a computer for this house, so he couldn’t write. Bored, he fiddled with his phone, logged onto QQ, and scrolled through his messages.
7:32 PM, Bai Weixi: "Brother, are you free tonight? Want to take a walk around campus? I miss you."
8:15 PM, Bai Weixi: "What are you up to? Why aren’t you replying?"
8:32 PM, Bai Weixi: "Hehe, are you writing, Brother? My roommates are all out tonight, so it’s just me in the dorm... (shy face)."
Seeing the string of messages from Bai Weixi, Li Yuan felt a sense of deja vu. This is exactly the kind of message I used to send her in my past life. It looks like our roles have reversed.
He replied with a smiley face emoji: "Sorry, I was busy and didn’t see my phone. I’m not on campus, but I’ll come find you tomorrow."
A moment later, Bai Weixi replied: "Okay, no problem! Hehe, I’ll be waiting for you tomorrow! I bought some cute new clothes to wear for you."
Li Yuan’s eyes brightened. Could the ’cute clothes’ she mentioned be some new, provocative lingerie? His imagination ran wild as his body stirred. "Really? Then I’ll be looking forward to it immensely."
Bai Weixi: "Hehe, I’ll definitely give you a surprise, Brother."
His mind drifted back to that night on Mandarin Duck Slope. After I used those PUA techniques on Bai Weixi, she seemed to become even clingier and more "understanding." Some of the new ’card tricks’ that aren’t suitable to try with Xia Zhijin or Zhong Tingyue could certainly be explored with her. After the experience on Mandarin Duck Slope, it seems there are still many other spots at Daxia University that could be developed.
Tsk, tsk, Bai has her merits after all!
Li Yuan muttered to himself and continued scrolling through his messages when he suddenly saw one from an unexpected person.
6:23 PM: "Little rascal, are you free tonight? Treat your big sister to a meal."
Seeing the number, Li Yuan instantly knew who it was. Just that afternoon, he had what one might call a close encounter with her at the University Student Entrepreneurship Office.
Didn’t she have a date tonight? Was she just lying to that guy?
Li Yuan wouldn’t have minded accepting the beautiful instructor’s invitation and going alone to test her depths. Regrettably, he glanced at Zhong Tingyue lying beside him. He had already promised her he would stay, so he could only sigh in frustration.
Li Yuan replied: "Mrs. Qi, I’m with my girlfriend tonight. Maybe some other time."
He waited a moment, but Qi Siyu didn’t reply. Not bothered, he went back to answering his messages. There were messages from all sorts of people: university classmates, high school friends, company employees, readers, fans, and more, all with different things to say.
It’s true what they say: a poor man in a crowded city goes unnoticed, but a rich man in the mountains will have relatives come from afar. Replying to all these messages every day... it really is a happy problem to have.
Just as Li Yuan finished replying, his phone began to ring again. Before he could even speak, an excited voice burst from the other end.
