Ning Yuechen was somewhat speechless, and finally gave his evaluation: "Bai Yi, you are truly a capitalist through and through."

"Thanks for the compliment."

Bai Yi sent a message to the driver on his mobile phone, saying, "Let's go, it's time for us to leave."

"okay."

The two of them came to the underground parking lot. The driver was standing in front of his new car waiting. When he saw them coming, he hurriedly opened the doors on both sides of the back seat.

After getting in the car, Bai Yi asked, "Have you brought all the things I asked you to prepare?"

The driver replied: "Mr. Bai, we have prepared everything according to your request and put it in the trunk."

"it is good."

Ning Yuechen knew without hesitation that what she asked him to prepare was a gift for meeting the guests, so he didn't ask.

Twenty minutes later, the vehicle drove into a private area of single-family villas. Unlike the luxurious buildings with carved beams and painted rafters and magnificent gold and jade she had seen before, this one exuded a subtle and distant ancient elegance.

Ning Yuechen looked out the car window at the flower-filled garden outside and was surprised to find a vegetable garden under the shining stars and the moon. He was a little surprised.

The car stopped in front of the main hall door. The two got out together and saw several people coming out to greet them.

Except for the young woman with soft eyebrows and gentle temperament, Ning Yuechen knew everyone else.

But precisely because of this, she was certain in her heart that the woman who was looking at her with loving eyes at this moment must be Aunt Wen's lover, and her mother's old friend.

Wen Yinglan walked down the stairs holding his wife's hand, followed by Wen Yiqian and Xia Wenwan.

Bai Yi took a step forward and greeted him in a gentle and warm voice: "Boss Wen, Madam Qian."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the approaching pair of fairies and said with a smile, "Miss Wen, Miss Xia, we met last time, but we were in a hurry and didn't have time to greet each other formally. Let me introduce myself. My name is Bai Yi."

Wen Yiqian smiled at Ning Yuechen first, and said politely: "If it weren't for your and Yuechen's help, I don't dare to think about the consequences. My girlfriend and I have always wanted to thank you, and today we finally have this opportunity."

Bai Yi lowered his eyes to scan their interlocked hands, and his gaze passed over Xia Wenwan's bright and shy face, and replied calmly: "Miss Wen, you are too polite. You are friends of Yue Chen, and she is just doing her best to show her friendship as a classmate. And I just happened to arrive, and it would be too polite to say thank you."

Qian Xintong waited for them to finish talking before walking towards the silent Ning Yuechen. Her eyes, which were full of graceful beauty, showed a little tenderness: "Yuechen, I am a good friend of your mother. She should have mentioned me to you. I'm sorry that I haven't come to see you for all these years."

Ning Yuechen knew that she really cared about the child of her former friend, but because of the decision made by her mother at that time and various objective reasons in between, the two of them were not able to meet until today.

So she said, "Aunt Qian, although we haven't met for so many years, I know that you and Aunt Wen have always cared for me and helped me. I came here today to say thank you."

Seeing that she had grown up to be so beautiful, and her manners were neither humble nor arrogant, and she was dignified and beautiful, Qian Xintong felt guilty, but at the same time, she liked her even more.

So when he entered the house, he held her hand tightly and began to ask her about her recent situation in detail. Ning Yuechen answered all of her questions one by one.

Several people sat down on the sofa in the living room's lounge area. Ning Yuechen's eyes were attracted by the vase on the coffee table and he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Noticing her gaze, Qian Xintong asked with a smile: "You like this flower too."

"Yeah, I like it very much."

Qian Xintong became interested: "Then you must know something about flower arrangement. Most people cannot appreciate this kind of bouquet that looks strange because it has too strong a visual conflict and will cause psychological discomfort."

Seeing her so happy, Ning Yuechen smiled and responded: "I also like flower arrangement, but it's just a hobby."

"Then you must know the meaning of this bouquet of flowers."

Ning Yuechen nodded obediently, facing Aunt Qian's expectant gaze, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this art form of flower arrangement originated from a garden designer from Country F in the 19th century. He paired the bouquets that symbolize the purest and most beautiful love with the evil flowers that are regarded as ominous by the world, and added other ordinary plants, which ultimately created an extremely gorgeous yet somewhat sad visual effect."

"At first, his bold artistic expression was not accepted by the world, but later it became a subject for many florists to imitate, but they could never match the shocking visual effect. Many laymen think that flower arrangement is just imitation, just copying the answers. However, they don't know that the artistic form and visual effect often require talent and many years of hard work to cultivate."

Qian Xintong looked at her with satisfaction, with a little more appreciation in her eyes: "You, like your mother, have a very high aesthetic taste and talent in art. I always wanted my daughter to learn this, but she only loves business, which is also a pity for me. I am so happy to meet you today."

She said, holding Ning Yuechen's hand: "Child, please come home more often in the future."

Ning Yuechen felt a little shy under her passionate gaze. He glanced at Bai Yi who was leisurely sipping tea, then looked at Xia Wenwan and Wen Yiqian who were smiling at him. His cheeks felt slightly hot. "Okay, Aunt Qian."

At this time, the driver who had parked the car came in with the prepared gifts. Bai Yi put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Yue Chen and I are here as guests for the first time, so we prepared some small gifts. Please accept them."

As soon as she finished speaking, the maid who had been serving beside her immediately stepped forward, took the exquisite gift bag from the driver, and then placed it on the small round table next to the coffee table.

Wen Yinglan glanced at the gift, motioned for the maid to open it, and then said with a smile, "That's thoughtful."

The gifts that Bai Yi had people prepare were not only valuable, but also catered to the emperor's tastes. It was obvious that they were prepared with great care.

The gift given to Wen Yinglan was a limited edition fountain pen of a certain brand inlaid with emerald-cut diamonds, which has great artistic collection value. The gift prepared for Qian Xintong was a painting by a famous artist, the only authentic one on the market.

Ning Yuechen watched the servant open the last gift box, his eyes fell on a pair of jadeite inside. Just by looking at the luster, he knew that they were handcrafted from top-grade imperial green glass. They could be said to be priceless, not to mention they were a pair.

Her eyes dimmed and she blinked, hiding the emotion that she had no time to hide.

I have to say that Bai Yi was really thoughtful. Although the gifts he gave to President Wen and his wife were expensive, they were actually nothing to such a noble and powerful family. It could only be said that they were very much to their liking and would not be left to gather dust in a storage room full of rare treasures.

But the jadeite given to their daughter and his girlfriend is worth over 100 million yuan. Such gift-giving skills are really admirable.

On the other hand, this person is really generous and magnanimous.

Then Bai Yi said, "This pair of jades was made by a famous foreign designer and her lover. It symbolizes pure, flawless, and lifelong love. It also means eternal happiness of a beautiful couple who stay together until old age. I hope Miss Wen and Miss Xia will like it."

Wen Yiqian took the pair of jade stones handed over by the servant, handed one of them to her girlfriend beside her, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Bai, for this gift. My girlfriend and I like it very much."

Qian Xintong smiled and corrected her daughter: "Ms. Bai is only a few years older than you. You can just call her sister when you meet. I am such a young and beautiful girl, and you are calling me old."

Bai Yi picked up the cup that the servant had just refilled and said in a casual manner, "You can call me whatever you want."
