Chapter 475: Chapter 475: Knew Her Before You All Did

Yan, being the kind of person he is, would never flatter someone to please them.

Moreover, strictly speaking, he doesn’t have any particular connection with Bai Xiangdong.

So, even though Yan and Bai Xiangdong have met several times, they have not appeared to be familiar with each other.

On the other hand, Cheng Ye seems to have grown quite close to Bai Xiangdong, to Bai Shao’s surprise.

"Mr. Cheng, you and my father really have a fate!"

Bai Xiangdong is an odd character. Normally, he is indifferent to others, but when he encounters kindred spirits like Cheng Ye and Zhu Qianying, he tends to talk endlessly.

"Yes, it is rare to meet a kindred spirit!"

Cheng Ye, aside from the intention to get along well with Zhu Qianying’s friend, does indeed share quite a bit in common with Bai Xiangdong. After all, their professions have many similarities.

Yan shows little interest in their conversation and casually chats haphazardly with Bai Shao, until he hears Bai Xiangdong talking.

"I met Ying Zi when she was a little girl, earlier than you and Xiao Shao did!"

Upon hearing something related to Zhu Qianying, Yan perked up his ears and attentively listened to Bai Xiangdong’s elaborate tale.

"Back then, she must have been around twelve or thirteen years old? Wearing a school uniform and carrying a backpack, she often wandered around the antique markets in the west of the city. Most of the time, she looked but didn’t buy. However, she had quite a discerning eye. I’ve seen her snap up some great finds. After seeing her a few times, I started noticing her. I don’t know why, but she often visited my stall and slowly we became familiar. Sometimes she even helped me attract customers. It wasn’t until Xiao Shao brought her home in high school that I learned she was the fifth daughter of the Zhu family and had just become classmates with Xiao Shao."

Neither Cheng Ye nor Yan had heard this story before.

As Bai Xiangdong spoke, Yan was reminded of the time when tired and dusty from traveling, he saw Zhu Qianying in the boutique from outside the airport.

Zhu Qianying was focused and passionate, as if she had become one with those small objects, which looked nothing special in the eyes of others...

As if suddenly recalling something, Yan stood up, bade Bai Shao and the others, and walked towards his office.

His departure did not have any effect on Bai Xiangdong and Cheng Ye, they continued their conversation. However, with Yan gone, Bai Shao started to feel bored.

Once, because of their shared interest in antiques, she became good friends with Zhu Qianying.

She had also, because of a common interest, fallen in love with a man.

Now, her good friend was still around, but the man had vanished into the arms of some pretty woman.

Since then, Bai Shao no longer studied those small treasures that had once fascinated her. The sight of them only reminded her of him.

"Xiao Shao, would you like to check on Xiaolu and the baby boy? They’ve been gone for quite a while."

Although Bai Xiangdong was getting along very well with Cheng Ye, he was still worried about his grandchildren.

Listening to Bai Xiangdong’s words, Bai Shao also started to worry, so she got up and went outside to look for the two brats.

She had barely walked a few steps before she saw one of Yan’s bodyguards carrying Bai Lu and running towards the shop. The little boy was looking nervous and running behind the bodyguard.

Bai Shao’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly walked over to them. "What happened, Brother Wang?"

Before the bodyguard could open his mouth, Xiaolu in his arms said, "Mommy, I’m fine, I just fell. Don’t panic!"

Obviously, the little boy didn’t believe so, he panted and shouted.

"Shut up! Your hand is bleeding, and you’re still saying you’re fine!"

Bai Shao breathed a sigh of relief!

It was just a flesh wound. Indeed, as the little girl said, there was nothing to worry about.

Although the mother and daughter thought so, under the urging of the young master, the bodyguard did not dare to be slack at all. He carried Xiaolu into the shop, then into the office. The baby boy adeptly took out the medicine box from the storage cabinet and handed it to Bai Shao.

"Auntie Xiao Shao, you come!"

Although he was stressed, he didn’t know how to deal with the wound.

Yan, who was in the office dealing with official business over the phone, hurriedly hung up and came over.

"What happened?"

Seeing how flustered his son was, Yan patted his son’s head and leaned over to take a look.

"The stupid Bai Xiaolu has been wounded..."

Yan looked down to see Bai Lu’s hands, which were seeping blood. The wound wasn’t deep, but it seemed like sand or some other debris had gotten in.

"Bai Shao, should we go to the clinic nearby for treatment?"

"No need, it’s a minor matter!"

Bai Shao didn’t even raise her head. She picked up a cotton ball, soaked it in disinfectant, and started cleaning Bai Lu’s wound.

As a friend, Yan had no authority to force Bai Shao to do anything, so he could only pat the little boy’s head again and comfort him.

"Little boy, Xiaolu just got a minor flesh wound, she’ll be fine. Remember when you fell off your skateboard? It’s the same, a minor matter, right?"

The little boy nodded while biting his lip. He silently stood aside watching Bai Shao clean Xiaolu’s wound. After a while, he pulled Bai Shao’s arm and whispered, "Sorry, Auntie Xiao Shao."

Bai Shao looked surprised, "Huh? Why are you apologizing to Auntie? This isn’t your fault!"

"I pushed Xiaolu, and that’s why she fell."

As it turned out, the two little ones were horsing around outside, and accidentally, the baby boy had pushed Bai Lu.

"You didn’t mean to do it, and sister doesn’t blame you. Look, I’m okay, aren’t I?" Before Bai Shao could say anything, Bai Lu herself began comforting the little boy.

Perhaps, the little boy felt genuinely guilty. Normally, he would bristle at the word "sister," but this time, he didn’t react at all.

Zhu Qianying and Chen Jing, who had heard the news, also came in and showed their concern for Bai Lu’s injury.

Bai Shao stood up and ushered them out, "What’s the big fuss? It’s just a kid with a minor scrape."

Chen Jing retreated back to the kitchen, but Zhu Qianying stayed.

Bai Shao could handle the wound herself, so Zhu Qianying held the baby boy and sat down to watch.

"Mommy, will Xiaolu’s hand end up like yours, with a scar?"

The scar from Zhu Qianying’s car accident still persisted. This bothered the little boy, and every now and then, he would urge Zhu Qianying to get surgery.

Zhu Qianying had to promise him that if the scar was still there in a year, she would have it removed.

Maybe it was because of Zhu Qianying’s car accident. Hence, the little boy was so anxious and concerned about Bai Lu’s injury.

"Young Master, this kind of injury will not leave a scar. Trust Auntie."

Bai Shao also chimed in to reassure him, and the little boy finally began to feel a bit more at ease.

And so, at meal time, the boy who usually sneered at Xiaolu, was politely and continuously adding food to Xiaolu’s bowl. He was even more attentive than Yan was to Zhu Qianying.
