Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1399: Chapter 1266: Two Trials

A high-profile visit was unexpectedly turned into a ”commendation conference” by Lu Yun and the others.

Bai Xiaosheng’s image suddenly became remarkably ”vivid.”

Especially in front of his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, he was almost being praised as the world’s rarest and finest son-in-law.

The protagonist being discussed, Bai Xiaosheng himself, felt a little embarrassed from listening to it all.

Indeed, he had done those things, but with the aid of Red Lotus. Now, being praised so publicly, and seeing everyone’s bright eyes sizing him up in amazement and unrestrained admiration with each recounting, he couldn’t help but feel a bit bashful.

At heart, Bai Xiaosheng was still a comparatively modest and reserved person.

Putting aside everyone else’s amazement, even Wei Changzun and his wife listened intently.

After all, Bai Xiaosheng was their daughter’s chosen one.

When the last guest wrapped up their praises of Bai Xiaosheng’s merits, Wei Changzun and his wife exchanged a look.

Then Yue Yingran smiled and said, ”This young man is indeed a rare talent with exceptional skills and a pure heart.”

Was this considered praise from the future mother-in-law?

Everyone smiled while looking at Bai Xiaosheng.

Among them, Master Song Kai and others had a teasing glimmer in their eyes.

”Mrs. Yue, you’re too kind,” Bai Xiaosheng quickly responded with a smile, his words sincere and humble. ”It’s not that I did anything particularly well, but rather the elders and seniors are being too gracious.”

His words were appropriate and polite.

Yue Yingran looked at Bai Xiaosheng with a smile and said, ”Auntie is not well-versed in medicine or business, and I only have limited knowledge about music. But I do have a special fondness for calligraphy. Hearing these esteemed guests praise your calligraphy, I would very much like to see it for myself.”

No matter how extraordinary the guests present were, there was no chance they were exaggerating. However, Bai Xiaosheng was being praised so highly that Yue Yingran’s desire to verify it herself was understandable.

This unspoken gesture, to some extent, really carried the flavor of a mother-in-law assessing her future son-in-law.

In fact, it wasn’t just her; Wei Xueyuan, Wei Xuexuan, Wei Changluo, and even Wei Changzun were all curious to see for themselves.

Could Bai Xiaosheng’s skills really live up to the astonishing descriptions given by the guests?

Hearing Yue Yingran’s request, Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said, ”Mrs. Yue, I know you are fond of calligraphy and poetry, so I prepared a small gift for you. Among them is a copy of the ’Book of Songs’ that I transcribed with great care. It’s not anything valuable, but I hope you like it.”

As he said this, Bai Xiaosheng stood up and prepared to retrieve the prepared gift from Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying.

Lin Weiwei, having heard everything, had long since taken out the transcribed copy of the ”Book of Songs.”

As soon as Bai Xiaosheng made his move, she quickly stepped forward and handed the booklet over with both hands.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled at her and accepted the booklet.

Lin Weiwei turned and stepped back to her seat.

Bai Xiaosheng respectfully handed the transcribed ”Book of Songs” to Yue Yingran, who also received it with the utmost solemnity using both hands.

This gesture was not directed toward Bai Xiaosheng as a junior but rather reflected her reverence for calligraphy and poetry.

Holding the string-bound booklet on rice paper, Yue Yingran gently caressed its cover with a faint smile. She instantly took a liking to the paper’s texture, and the elegant script on the cover in regular script caused her eyes to brighten slightly.

Turning the cover gently, Yue Yingran saw the main text, and her eyes lit up even more, her gaze fixed intently on it.

”What beautiful handwriting,” Yue Yingran softly praised.

Beside her, even Wei Changzun couldn’t resist leaning over for a look.

He knew his wife all too well. Even when faced with renowned calligraphers specially invited to their home, she rarely offered direct compliments. This was because she herself was a highly accomplished calligrapher who had anonymously participated in competitions and won numerous top awards in prestigious events.

In truth, his wife Yue Yingran was a renowned master of calligraphy and painting!

Yet now, confronted with Bai Xiaosheng’s booklet, she had involuntarily uttered a single ”beautiful,” which was no small feat!

Bai Yuefeng, naturally aware of her Aunt Yue Yingran’s personality, couldn’t help but edge closer for a look.

Though her own skills were limited, she still found the handwriting stunningly beautiful, as if the unique charm of the strokes leaped off the paper.

”This is extraordinary!” Bai Yuefeng couldn’t help but praise.

She had never believed that art should only belong to an elite few. To her, art should be created by the few to allow the many to experience an extraordinary aesthetic that differs from everyday life. Therefore, Bai Yuefeng usually didn’t care much for unconventional art.

However, gazing at Bai Xiaosheng’s calligraphy, Bai Yuefeng felt it genuinely embodied her understanding of art—

An ability to let outsiders grasp the essence of brush and ink!

Master Song Kai, along with several other calligraphy enthusiasts, stared eagerly, their eyes filled with excitement.

They had glimpsed the script on the cover—though it was in regular script, Bai Xiaosheng appeared to have employed a unique technique, igniting their passions.

”This kid is incredible! Later, I must get him to write more for me, as my fee for coming to America!” Master Song Kai thought fervently to himself.

Others had similar thoughts...

They couldn’t let the flattery go unrewarded. After all, such a ”reward” was too valuable to miss...

”Is it really that good?!”

In the distance, Wei Xueyuan and Wei Xuexuan exchanged astonished glances as they observed everyone’s reactions.

Yue Yingran carefully closed the booklet and placed it down gently before smiling at Bai Xiaosheng. ”I’ve long wanted to hang a couplet in the house here, but I’ve been delaying writing it myself. Xiaosheng, could you write it for me instead?”

This was clearly an impromptu test.

”Of course, Mrs. Yue,” Bai Xiaosheng responded promptly.

Yue Yingran chuckled and waved her hand slightly.

The stewards of the Wei Family were extraordinarily efficient. As soon as they heard Yue Yingran’s request, they quickly began making arrangements, and seeing the lady’s gesture, they dared not delay further.
