NOVEL NEXT Chapter 724: Hehe? Not Hehe!
Li Tianyi went off miserably to wash pants, not forgetting to glare at Li Ning before leaving.
Li Ning wasn't laughing cheerfully, Li Ning was sniffling.
Li Ning kept his head down, not daring to make a sound anymore.
Li Xuelan swept away her earlier displeasure, took the initiative to greet everyone, and raised her glass to drink with them.
Li Xuelan began to speak, revealing her intention.
"I'm planning to take over the land in the north of the city to build a resort. Uncle Bai, Zhenyang, I wonder if you are interested in collaborating? If our two families work together, we can look out for each other."
Grandpa Bai and Bai Zhenyang had long suspected this was a Hongmen Banquet, not purely harmless.
Since Li Xuelan brought it up herself, they would give her a reply, a reply that would make her give up.
Grandpa Bai: "Xuelan, you know I've retired a long time ago. The Bai Family's business, I can't make the decisions."
Bai Zhenyang: "..."
The old man is really good at talking, said it so well, he listened and chuckled, not even getting a bit angry.
The problem was thrown to Bai Zhenyang, making it unavoidable for him to answer.
Especially with Li Xuelan smilingly looking at him, making Bai Zhenyang almost want to curl up in a ball.
The old lady's triangular eyes, not angry but smiling, forcing a gentle demeanor, made Bai Zhenyang want to drink a sip of wine to calm his nerves.
"Aunt Lan, it's not that I don't want to cooperate with you, but I currently have no capital for collaboration. I've handed the company over to my child to manage, I'm carefree now. I'm unemployed, collecting a salary every month, and don't ask about company affairs at all."
Li Xuelan: ??
"Zhenyang, you retired? You aren't that old yet, how could you retire? If you don't want to cooperate with me, you could just say so, no need to make excuses to deceive me."
Bai Zhenyang: "Jingting, you speak."
Bai Jingting: "..."
Haha!
Really haha opened the door to more haha, haha has arrived home.
A generation pits a generation, might as well pit him to death.
Bai Jingting remained calm, maintaining an elegant demeanor, swirling the red wine in his goblet, watching the splendid liquid swaying with his movements, exuding an aura of total control.
"The field Li Yehan is involved in is broad and extensive, if you want someone to cooperate with, finding Li Yehan directly is the best choice."
Nan Qiao lowered her head, covered her mouth, and chuckled secretly.
Everyone pushed it to each other, not knowing who would end up with it.
Li Xuelan's expression changed little by little, becoming increasingly unpleasant.
At this time, the problem was thrown to Li Yehan.
Li Yehan's crimson thin lips slightly curled, looking over, and spoke slowly: "The land in the north of the city was sold long ago, didn't you know?"
Li Xuelan: ??
"Impossible! I was still in negotiations in the morning, and it was sold by the evening?"
He Yunlai heard this, took out his phone to ask someone about it.
"No need to ask, the person who bought this land is me, I know better than anyone else."
Li Yehan said nothing until a thunderous roar.
Li Xuelan's face turned liver-colored, all plans fell through, how could she make a grand entrance in Jing City now.
He Yunlai placed the phone in front of her, and Li Xuelan clearly saw the words on it.
The morning's talks, scrambling for funds and collaboration in the afternoon, only to end up empty-handed in the evening.
It's more amazing than a dream!
Li Xuelan downed a glass of red wine, still unable to calm the anger in her heart.
The Bai Family breathed a collective sigh of relief and looked at Li Yehan with approving eyes.
Nan Qiao almost burst out laughing.
No wonder it's Li Yehan, it really has to be Li Yehan!
Nan Qiao reached out and scratched Li Yehan's dry, warm palm with her pinky.
Li Yehan's eyebrows slightly raised, his eyes filled with a gleam, instantly turning gentle, lowering his gaze, his big hand enveloped her small hand, placing it on his leg.
Nan Qiao tried to pull her hand back, but Li Yehan refused to let go, holding onto it, never wanting to release it again.
Li Yehan paid no mind to Li Xuelan's expression, only caring about Nan Qiao's expression.
Nan Qiao whispered: "Why haven't the hot dishes been served yet, I want to drink soup."
Li Yehan picked up the tablet on the table, typed a line of words into it.
After a while, hot dishes and soup were brought in one after another, filling the table.
Under the watchful eyes of all, Li Yehan picked up a spoon, then took the soup bowl in front of Nan Qiao, serving her a bowl of three-flavored soup.
In addition, Li Yehan used public chopsticks to serve dishes to Nan Qiao, admonishing her to eat more while doing so.
Li Xuelan's face turned green, Li Yehan didn't regard her at all!
And at this moment, Li Yehan acted as if nothing had happened: "The dishes are served, let's eat together."
Bai Zhenyang urged everyone to eat together: "Come, eat the dishes, it'll be no good if it gets cold."
The Bai Family picked up their chopsticks, and He Yunlai stuffed chopsticks into Li Xuelan's hand: "Don't pull a face, eat first. Since Li Yehan bought the land, we can get a share of the profits, right?"
He Yunlai's words seemed like a good medicine to soothe Li Xuelan.
Li Xuelan's face gradually changed, slowly becoming more relaxed.
Glasses were clinked, laughter and conversation flowed, the atmosphere became very harmonious.
At this moment, Li Xuelan proposed her idea again.
"Ye Han, since you've already bought the land, why don't we work together? The follow-up also requires financial support, our involvement could help you."
Li Yehan: "We don't lack partners, we can afford this amount."
Li Xuelan: "..."
Li Tianyi and Mei Tian Sha Zi didn't expect Li Yehan to be so straightforward.
He bluntly refused Li Xuelan!
Li Xuelan completely lost it, almost pounding the table and standing up.
Bai Jingting calmly added: "I suggested a collaboration to Ye Han, he didn't even include our Bai Family."
Li Xuelan: "..."
Li Xuelan laughed as she asked: "Uncle Bai, it's not right for Ye Han to do this. If there's money to be made, everyone should earn it together, how can he keep it all to himself."
Grandpa Bai replied very calmly: "Xuelan, even among blood brothers, accounts must be settled clearly. Ye Han not partnering with our Bai Family doesn't upset me. I'm certain Ye Han has his considerations, and as elders, we should respect and support him."
Granny Bai: "Old man, you're right, as elders, we shouldn't meddle in the younger generation's affairs."
Grandpa Bai: "Xuelan, do you know why the old lady next door lived to be 119?"
Li Xuelan: "Why?"
Grandpa Bai: "Because she didn't meddle in others' business."
Li Xuelan: "..."
He Yunlai: "..."
He Jingjing & He Sen: "..."
Grandpa Bai is truly something, daring to say anything.
Among those present, he was the oldest, and if Li Xuelan wanted to show off, she couldn't do it in front of Grandpa Bai.
Li Xuelan completely lost face, feeling very displeased and extremely angry.
"Uncle Bai, what do you mean by this, are you saying I meddle too much!"
"Xuelan, I'm just teaching you to learn to let go. Controlling too much makes one weary, and you should be enjoying your retirement now, not tiring yourself over trivial matters."
Bai Zhenyang: "Aunt Lan, look at me, my life is very carefree now. When I was young, I had my father, and now, as I've aged, I have my son. If not for how embarrassing it is to depend on a daughter, I'd depend on her too."
Hehe.
Li Xuelan: "!!"
Truly pathetic!
Nan Qiao openly stated: "Dad, you can completely depend on me. I can take care of you, Grandpa, Grandma, and Mom without any issues."
Li Xuelan chuckled dryly twice, with a hint of displeasure in her words: "You're going to support so many people, doesn't Ye Han have anything to say about that?"
In Li Xuelan's view, since Nan Qiao was married, planning to use her in-laws' money to support her own family, she had to have a good talk about it!
