Chapter 10: When I See People, I Naturally Greet Them
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Luo Yun was no fool. After all, she was once a medical genius. No matter what was said, she had a high IQ. Naturally, she could see the wariness behind Qiu Ming’s gentle smile. At this moment, some bad memories appeared in her mind. She awkwardly retracted her hand. “Alright, be careful.”
“I will. Please rest at ease.” Qiu Ming said with a professional smile.
Luo Yun followed behind them, feeling a little down. This was because the original Luo Yun had done a lot of unreasonable things in the past. She had even threatened Bai Qihan’s safety many times. It seemed that Bai Qihan would definitely be on guard against her. However, her downcast state immediately switched to hostility when she saw Luo Dashan and his wife.
“Little Han, Little Yun, you’ve come back.” When Yu Xia saw Bai Qihan, her expression changed and she smiled kindly, “Your dad was just talking about you guys. He was afraid that you guys would be busy with work and would not have the time to come. I knew it. You are indeed filial and ultimately made some time to come visit.”
Yu Xia’s voice was rather piercing. She had a kind and amiable smile, her facial features were very thin, and her cheekbones were raised particularly high. However, there clearly looked to be about half a kilogram of foundation on her face that was about to fall off.
“We got stuck in some traffic on the way here, so we were delayed for some time.” The outward image that Bai Qihan displayed was still the same as always. No matter who he was facing, he would give out a polite and proper image.
Luo Yun was silent.
Yu Xia sized her up a few times, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Why is this little b*tch’s aura so oppressive? She does not resemble the submissive and unpresentable person that she used to be at all. Could it be that the fengshui of the Bai family is really just that good for those who join it? But that does not make much sense either. If that were the case, then how did Bai Qihan end up crippled?
She smiled and said, “Little Yun, why don’t you say hello to anyone? Although you have indeed already been married off, you can’t just forget about your family. We were the ones who raised you, after all.”
Luo Yun smiled. “When I see people, I naturally greet them.” She deliberately emphasized the word “people” as she looked at Yu Xia with a smile.
Yu Xia did not react in the beginning. After all, what kind of waves could a little sl*t that she had suppressed while growing up cause? However, when she saw the ridicule hidden under Luo Yun’s gentle face, she immediately understood. Luo Yun had actually dared to say that she was not human in a roundabout way right in front of everyone?
Yu Xia could not hold back her anger and immediately turned to Luo Dashan and said, “Dashan, look at this daughter of yours…”
“Qiu Ming, bring out the gift.” Bai Qihan interrupted her.
Qiu Ming quickly stepped forward and handed the gift to Bai Qihan. After receiving the gift, Bai Qihan passed it to Luo Dashan with a respectful expression on his face. “This is Mr. Qi’s [Shrimp]. I heard that you admire Mr. Qi’s paintings very much, so I specially prepared this as a present to you for your birthday.”
Luo Dashan was a nouveau riche in his early years and had always been ridiculed for being uncultured. As he grew older, he began to learn the ways of appreciating art, and he tried to become more cultured. As a result of that, he had acquired the hobby of collecting things. Now that he was seeing such a precious painting right before his eyes, he had to take some time to calm himself down before saying, “Is this Mr. Qi’s original work? Wouldn’t it fetch a sky-high price?”
Bai Qihan’s eyes flickered with disgust, but that disgust disappeared in an instant. His voice, when he spoke, remained gentle. “I bought it from his grandson. It’s definitely authentic. As for the price, that is merely a number.”
“Of course, of course…” Luo Dashan’s eyes had almost disappeared from his face from how big his smile was. “Little Han, you’re truly so kind. I shall immediately get someone to mount it up in my study. I shall look at it every day. Anyhow, there is still an hour before the banquet begins. As such, I will have to trouble you to wait a little longer, Little Han.”
At the perfect timing, Qiu Ming took hold of the conversation and said, “Master Luo, our young master still has a lot of work to do. He had specially taken out some time from his work in order to come and congratulate you on your birthday banquet wholeheartedly. Once more guests arrive, things may become rather inconvenient. Regardless, when he has some free time in the future, I will make sure to arrange some time for you and him to share your insights on art appreciation.”
“Huh?” Luo Dashan’s mind was filled with the exorbitant [Shrimp] piece that was gifted to him. Before he could understand what Qiu Ming meant, Bai Qihan had already turned around. He did not dare to stop them, so he could only hurriedly say, “Little Yun, you should stay for a while longer. You rarely come home.” This was his birthday banquet. If neither his daughter or son-in-law were present, that would be very embarrassing for him. Moreover, Bai Qihan’s status in the business world had improved significantly ever since he and Luo Yun got married last year. Naturally, he could not let go of this big tree.
“Alright, I’ll stay,” Luo Yun slightly smiled as she said.
