Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 184: Chapter 184 Sleepless Night_1

After speaking with Wei Moran.

Bai Xiaosheng stepped out onto the balcony, welcoming the cool evening breeze as he looked down over the night scene of Tiannan, feeling a wave of relief wash over him.

Wei Moran’s arrival had caught him by surprise, and it was definitely an unexpected delight!

Without this unexpected gain, he would have had to lay low at home, wracking his brains for strategies that would likely end in only splitting the difference with Xiang Dong.

The best outcome would have been nothing more than a draw.

But now, things had changed!

”It looks like I need to adjust my second plan,” said Bai Xiaosheng, his face breaking into a confident smile, ”This time, I’m really going to turn the tables!”

Those who dare to ”declare war” on me, the beginning might be yours, but I will decide the end!

In Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes, a cold sharpness flickered like knives and swords.

”Hey, what are you thinking about?” a voice suddenly called out from the side.

From the balcony next door, Wei Xuelian stepped out of the house, smiling at Bai Xiaosheng.

She wore a flowing white dress, as elegant as a fairy, her long hair caressed by the evening wind, which also ruffled her skirt.

That smile could enchant anyone.

When Bai Xiaosheng turned to her, his gaze was as soft as water, and the aggressive aura that had just been present vanished without a trace.

Bai Xiaosheng approached the side, leaning over the wooden railing, and excitedly said to Wei Xuelian, ”I was just thinking of looking for you. The tickets for Wei Moran’s concert have been confirmed, VIP ones! Do you know who I just talked to? Wei Moran! Turns out, she’s the girl we saved back in Antique Jade City, my god, her makeup skills are basically as transformative as plastic surgery!”

Bai Xiaosheng was worried Wei Xuelian might not believe him.

”Impressive, so you unwittingly played the hero to a princess, eh? Since she personally invited you, would it be appropriate for me to go?”

Wei Xuelian didn’t disbelieve him, and instead showed her surprise.

”It’s appropriate, very appropriate!” Bai Xiaosheng said hastily, ”I only consider her as a common friend!”

Otherwise, what do you think I consider her as?

Wei Xuelian watched Bai Xiaosheng getting anxious and couldn’t help but smile.

The two of them chatted on the balcony against the backdrop of the night sky.

Unknowingly, they lost track of time until very late, reluctantly said goodnight to each other, and parted ways.

Bai Xiaosheng went back to his room.

He didn’t rush to sleep but turned off the main light, switched on the desk lamp, and turned on his computer.

He couldn’t sleep yet!

The second plan would be subject to many changes with Wei Moran’s involvement.

”I need to quickly work out the part that involves Wei Moran, to make sure she doesn’t break her promise and damage her reputation, and also to allow her to prepare in advance,” Bai Xiaosheng muttered to himself.

Wei Moran was willing to consider him a friend, and would even give up her concert to help him.

So Bai Xiaosheng, he couldn’t be selfish, he had to consider everything!

Bai Xiaosheng concentrated, his eyes fixed on the screen, his fingertips dancing across the keyboard.

However, after typing just a few hundred characters, his phone vibrated sharply.

Bai Xiaosheng picked it up, glanced at it, and his eyebrows lifted; Wei Moran had sent another message.

Seeing the content, Bai Xiaosheng instinctively sat upright in surprise.

”So, she has this purpose for holding her concert this time!” Bai Xiaosheng exclaimed, astonished.

”It looks like, this time, Treles Square is truly in for some good fortune!”

Bai Xiaosheng sighed, unable to help but twist his neck, crack his knuckles, and with a series of popping sounds, he was fully awake, brimming with enthusiasm!

Late at night.

Han Shuying was sound asleep when a series of urgent ringing from a phone call shocked her awake.

Groping to switch on the bedside lamp, her eyes bleary and half-closed, she tousled her messy hair, and with some effort, she fished out her cellphone from under her pillow, finally making out the name on the incoming call screen—

”Bai Xiaosheng?”

Han Shuying frowned deeply as she yawned widely and answered the call.

”Are you trying to kill me? What’s the matter with you, calling in the middle of the night!” Han Shuying said between yawns.

”Tomorrow morning, I’m treating you to breakfast, got something to discuss with you, just giving you a heads-up,” Bai Xiaosheng’s voice sounded excited, and he added, ”It’s a great thing!”

Immediately after, the busy signal beeped.

And just like that... he hung up.

Han Shuying stayed in the phone-answering pose, dumbfounded for quite a while.

She tilted her head and glanced at the clock on the wall.

Dawn, three o’clock!

”Are you out of your mind?!” Han Shuying angrily threw a pillow, which hit the wall, right behind which was Bai Xiaosheng’s place.

Han Shuying thought about banging on the wall but ultimately succumbed to the sandman, diving headfirst into the soft pillows and falling instantly into a deep sleep.

The next day.

If it weren’t for the phone still in her hand, Han Shuying would have thought she had been dreaming last night.

”You wait till I come over to slam your door!” Han Shuying vowed as she got up to wash and dress.

Having just washed her face and was patting on toner, her door was knocked.

”Who is it?” asked Han Shuying.

”It’s me, open up!” Bai Xiaosheng’s voice.

Fancy him showing up himself!

Han Shuying huffed as she considered going to see the door, then noticed she was still in her pajamas. She quickly changed into a long T-shirt which was loose and hung just past her hips, giving her a lazy sense of beauty.

Han Shuying, with her slim and smooth legs, walked barefoot across the floor to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, before she could react,

Bai Xiaosheng threw a bag of something at her, which Han Shuying caught with a start, switching it immediately from her left hand to her right due to its heat.

”What is this?!” she exclaimed in both shock and anger, ”Steamed buns!”

Indeed, the aroma of steamed buns filled the air.

”Didn’t I say last night that I’d treat you to breakfast!”

Bai Xiaosheng grinned, holding in his other hand soy milk, eggs, and pickled vegetables, ”They’re from the same place as the buns you bought for me last time, huh!”

”But I wasn’t as perfunctory as you are!”

”You’re getting back at me!” Han Shuying screamed, tossing the buns onto the table.

”You’re overthinking it, the people I want to get back at usually end up quite miserable,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile, before becoming serious, ”I’m here really to talk about something very important with you, business.”

...

Leaving Han Shuying’s house, Bai Xiaosheng hummed a tune, in a good mood.

The matter was settled.

At this moment.

Han Shuying was at home eating buns and drinking soy milk, thinking about that matter Bai Xiaosheng had mentioned to her.

”Sounds not bad,” she mumbled.

Bai Xiaosheng returned to his own home, prepared twice the amount of breakfast, planning to share it with Wei Xuelian.

At that moment, his phone gave off a beep.

It was a message from WeChat.

Glancing at it, Bai Xiaosheng saw that the message came from Wei Moran and it read simply,

”Checked the item, it’s excellent, will talk to Xiang Dong’s people right away!”

Bai Xiaosheng’s lips curled into a slight smile. It seemed that the part of the plan involving Wei Moran had also been approved.

”Today is a good day, everything I wish comes true,” Bai Xiaosheng sang under his breath, carrying breakfast out the door.

After having breakfast with Xuelian,

He still had to meet another key person!
