Chapter 357: The Engagement
“Dad, I’m not basking in the sun. I’m basking in the sunset.” Bai Jianxun walked in with a big smile on his face. He pulled the curtains to block out the light in the room.
Elder Bai sat on the bamboo chair with his eyes closed. He swayed slightly with a cup of cold tea beside him.
“Jianxun, what do you think of this matter?”
“What matter, dad?”
Elder Bai raised his eyes slightly and said with a straight face, “You brat, stop acting like a fox in front of me! The cunning of all three of your brothers and sisters have been inherited by you!”
“Hehe, dad, I’ll take it that you’re praising my intelligence.” Bai Jianxun sat on the sofa next to him and smiled. “Dad, since Weiyang is willing to do this, then everything else is not important.”
Elder Bai frowned. He felt his leg hurt even more.
“That child has been a little muddle-headed recently.”
“Sigh, because she’s still too young, she values love more. Anyway, they’re all from the same noble district. We watched them grow up, they shouldn’t be able to cause any trouble. It’s just that…” Bai Jianxun narrowed his eyes, his tone changed and became a little serious. “Compared to his father, this kid Haoran is really better than his father.”
Elder Bai frowned and picked up two recreational balls and spun them in his hands.
Bai Jianxun carefully observed elder Bai’s expression. His eyes were sparkling and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Ever since that incident, elder Bai had called him in. However, he had been talking about work and it was only just then that he started talking about Bai Weiyang.
Bai Jianxun narrowed his eyes.
Although the old man doted on Bai Weiyang more than anyone else, it seemed that… the old man did not seem to agree with this marriage.
That was not right either.
The marriage between Weiyang and Haoran was personally arranged by the old man back then.
Several thoughts flashed through Bai Jianxun’s mind. On the other side, elder Bai slowly sighed and said to himself, “Qinghui, your son and your grandson are not like you.”
The Qinghui that elder Bai mentioned was Lin Qinghui, Lin Haoran’s grandfather.
Back then, Lin Qinghui was elder Bai’s comrade. When the two of them were on a mission, Lin Qinghui sacrificed himself in order to save elder Bai. Before he died, he made a marriage agreement with elder Bai.
At that time, the two of them only had one son. Later, after Bai Jianxun and Bai Mengchen were born, Lin Jiangdong was already several years older than them at that time.
Later on, it became an engagement for the third generation.
Then, there was the marriage between Lin Haoran and Bai Weiyang.
Bai Jianxun looked at the world map on the wall. He suddenly smiled and said, “How are they not similar? Dad, no matter what, they are father and son, blood related family. I heard that something happened to the Lin family back then. If it weren’t for you, uncle Lin’s wife and children wouldn’t have lived in this noble district.”
Elder Bai lowered his eyes. “Don’t say that. After all, he died for me.”
Bai Jianxun shrugged and smiled. “Alright, I won’t say anymore. Dad, do you have any other instructions? If not, I’ll leave. I have to go back to work.”
Elder Bai suddenly raised his head. “Jianxun, your niece is about to get married. What’s going on between you and your partner? If it’s confirmed, when will you bring her home next time? Let me take a look.”
“When the time is right, I’ll definitely bring her home.” Bai jianxun smiled and said, “Dad, don’t worry about my matters. You should worry about big sister. She’s already so old. If she doesn’t get a partner, she won’t be able to get married.”
