Chapter 448 - Five Weeks Pregnant
It had been more than a month since the incident between Lin Haoran and Bai Weiyang.
According to the pregnancy test report, Bai Weiyang was already five weeks pregnant.
Regardless of whether this matter was true or false... a deep disappointment flashed across elder Bai"s eyes.
He was a little resentful that she had failed to live up to his expectations. He pinched the handle of the chair and slowly released it.
"Originally, I wanted to test that kid from the Lin family again... but now, it seems that it"s fine. She walked on her own path. Even if she falls in the future or is covered in bruises, she can"t blame anyone else."
Xie Luan was a little surprised.
Although she actually had the same thoughts, she did not expect that the old man would say the same thing.
But it was no wonder. That girl Weiyang had repeatedly disappointed the old man. That was why the old man decided not to care about that child"s matters anymore.
The old man slightly closed his eyes and said, "Little Luan, go and talk to the Lin family. Let them handle the wedding. As for the dowry here, you should put in some effort and let Mengchen and Jian Xun prepare it. Once it"s ready, you can have a look at it. In addition, I will inform the ministry that Changle and Haoran will conduct the audit as they see fit and to not consider my face at all. If the two of them are not up to par, they will both be eliminated!"
"Alright, dad. Shall I go out first?"
"Wait a moment." Elder Bai raised his head and asked with an inquisitive gaze, "I heard that the boy from the Lu family has a good relations.h.i.+p with Changle?"
"Yes, Lu Ye and Changle have a good relations.h.i.+p," Xie Luan said gently.
Elder Bai picked up the tea that had already turned cold and took a sip before slowly saying, "That kid from the Lu family is just like his grandfather. Sometimes, he"s quite annoying. He has a stubborn temper and likes to go against others. But sometimes, he"s very reliable."
Elder Bai picked up the old photo again and said softly, "That kid from the Lu family has pa.s.sed the Snow Wolf Unit"s a.s.sessment. Maybe he"ll bring Changle with him."
"Dad? You mean to ask Lu Ye to help Lin..."
"No." Elder Bai shook his head and said firmly, "From the Bai family, those two must be treated equally. As for the rest, it"s up to them. If Lu Ye is willing to help Changle, then it"s Changle"s own connections. Of course, if Lin Haoran also has his own methods that are useful, then it can be considered this kid"s ability."
Xie Luan nodded. She somewhat understood.
Because the old man had been looking at the old photo, Xie Luan was more curious. She lowered her head to take a look. When she saw the three people"s faces clearly, her expression changed slightly.
When old man Bai saw Xie Luan"s expression change, he paused and slowly said, "Mhm, the one on the left is me, the one in the middle is your father, and the guy on the right is called Lu Wenbin. Although his name is refined, that old b.a.s.t.a.r.d isn"t refined at all."
Xie Luan was a little puzzled. "Father, are the three of you on good terms? But why haven"t I seen uncle Lu once?"
Elder Bai"s expression was a little unnatural. He turned his head away and said, "That b.a.s.t.a.r.d is narrow-minded. Just because I married Jianjun"s mother, he kept getting angry with me and said that he would never get along with me."
Xie Luan was surprised.
She vaguely remembered that Jianjun"s mother was gentle and virtuous. In fact, she seemed to have been someone else"s fiancée before. Later on, something happened and she got together with elder Bai.
However, her health wasn"t good and she had pa.s.sed away for more than ten years.
Xie Luan"s expression was awkward. She couldn"t continue to ask about this matter. After all, it was a matter of the older generation. As a junior, no matter how she evaluated it, it wouldn"t be appropriate.
She said softly, "Father, you should rest first. I"ll go and arrange the things you just ordered."
"Mhm, go. Don"t be too tired. You can leave this matter to Mengchen and Jianxun to do.. Also, Jianjun, don"t let him act as if he"s the delegating boss. He"s the one who"s marrying his daughter, not the others!"
