Chapter 119: 37. What courage brings once is..._3

"Your mom said you ran away from home the day before yesterday?"

"Uh, but it’s all sorted now..."

Jiang Xiong, with his arms folded, expressed neither agreement nor disagreement,

"Really..."

Seeing the atmosphere quieting down, Bai Yi turned to look at him and took the initiative to ask,

"Is everything okay at the company? Suddenly returning to Lin Gate must have affected your work..."

"On the contrary, it’s actually going well there. I was supposed to return to Lin Gate recently anyway... The boss of Ye International sent his daughter here, and business here will definitely increase. I’m also looking to see if I can get connected with Ye International."

"Ye International? Isn’t that too imposing? Can you actually make it?"

"Maybe others can’t, but your Uncle Jiang should have no problem. Yiyi, as you know, I might not have many skills, but I do have a lot of friends..."

Jiang Xiong smiled slightly and walked into Bai Yi’s room.

He didn’t close the door, just pulled up a stool to sit,

"The new head named Ye Lan was from the same school as me, she was my senior.

"I even attended her wedding, but she made a poor choice in a husband. The guy messed around when their children were still young, got caught by my senior, and she kicked him so hard he lost his ability to reproduce, and eventually, she had to take the kids and divorce..."

Jiang Xiong quietly threw out an interesting story, capturing the initially uncommunicative Bai Yi’s attention, who incredulously asked,

"Ye International... but isn’t that senior’s family very rich? How could he dare to cheat?"

"It’s complicated, I only heard about it, and I’m not very clear on the details..."

Jiang Xiong helplessly spread his hands, explaining,

"I heard that when Ye International was just starting, times were tough, and the senior also had siblings, making her undergrad years quite difficult.

"Later, things got better, but when she brought home the guy she was freely in love with, her family looked down on that poor boy, rejecting the marriage outright."

Bai Yi blinked, looking very curious,

"So..."

"Ah, so when the senior got married, her parents didn’t come, probably her family never accepted it in the end. But maybe it wasn’t all about the financial status, maybe they sensed that guy was no good..."

After listening, Bai Yi’s expression grew complex as he sighed,

"The adult world is really complicated..."

"Right? That’s why I hope even more that you spend more time with people your age, and work a little less."

Bai Yi picked up on the implied meaning and pouted, muttering,

"Aren’t all celebrities like this, always needing to attend events? And what if I lose my popularity later? That’s why mom also thinks, while I still have popularity, I should participate more."

"How can you ever earn enough money, Yiyi."

Jiang Xiong took off his glasses, laughing,

"Even my senior at Ye International has a bunch of problems, let alone us. Instead of getting so upset that you run away from home, why not rest a bit."

Bai Yi glanced at Jiang Xiong and then whispered,

"What about the penalty for breach of contract? That’s a lot of money, we probably can’t afford it, right?"

"Yeah, can’t afford it."

"Then what the hell are you talking about!"

Hearing this, Bai Yi angrily threw a stuffed toy on the table, which Jiang Xiong easily caught,

"Don’t be so rigid... What I mean is, finish the current jobs on hand, and then let’s take fewer...

"Life is long, Yiyi, you should go to school more, spend more time with classmates, read more books. Even if you’re not good at academics, you still need to see more perspectives...

"And then, when you have free time, do things you like."

The middle-aged man toyed with the plush toy in his hands, then tossed it back,

"Our family isn’t rich but we’re not poor either; thinking worst-case scenario, even if we can’t achieve anything, we won’t starve, relax a bit, be a little braver..."

Bai Yi also caught the plush toy and just looked at Jiang Xiong, at a loss for words.

After a while, Zuo Jiangqin’s voice came from upstairs,

"What are you doing down there, go take a bath! Clean up and come up to sleep!!"

Bai Yi blinked when he heard his mother’s voice, while Jiang Xiong also weakened at Zuo Jiangqin’s fierce momentum.

Then, a sheen of sweat appeared on his face.

Obviously, that seemed to be the trumpet call for something.

Jiang Xiong reached out, tremblingly moved the chair back to its place, and gave Bai Yi a helpless smile,

"Then I’m going to sleep, you rest early too?"

"Uh, Uncle Jiang..."

Bai Yi nodded, watching Jiang Xiong leave and close the door.

Being a little braver, huh...

Bai Yi turned to look at his phone, where a username "Huan" appeared.

She pouted and extended her finger, pressing on the "add friend" option.

Just a gentle touch, and then...

"Friend request sent!"

Success!

Bai Yi nervously raised the phone, watching the contact list waiting for the other party’s approval, her heartbeat speeding up.

Will it be accepted?

Or...

Will it be rejected?

She lay on the bed clutching her phone, intently staring at the screen.

One minute passed...

Five minutes passed...

Ha ha, he might be busy, so probably didn’t see it, right?

Might as well watch some videos for a while, no biggie.

Bai Yi opened the short video platform, started browsing videos.

Yet, every few videos, she’d open the background app, checking whether the other party had accepted yet.
