Love belongs to the mountains and seas, I don't belong to you

Lin Cong looked at Xiang Shao with some concern, and Xiang Shao shook his head at her.

Lu Yanqi pulled Bai Luo away. Bai Luo finally realized that he was too impulsive and had fallen into a trap.

Seeing that the protagonists had left, the people around them gradually dispersed.

Xia Ruohan witnessed all this and felt a little scared.

Even Mr. Xiang recognized Lin Cong, so it became more difficult for her to do anything. Therefore, she had to act quickly and make Lin Cong disappear as soon as possible.

Su Qian looked at Lin Cong's back with eager eyes. He wanted to know more and more what Lin Cong had experienced in the past two years.

Butler Liu arrived soon.

Xiang Shao took Lin Cong directly to the hotel outside.

After changing his clothes, Lin Cong came out and said, "A Xiang, I'm sorry. I got carried away."

Xiang Shao frowned and looked at Lin Cong, which made Lin Cong feel a little guilty.

She could not care about her own face, but now she is Mr. Xiang's fiancée, and being so impulsive would bring shame to the Xiang family.

"What does Bai Luo mean by 'you are even more embarrassed than last time'?" asked Xiang Shao.

"Hmm?" Lin Cong never expected that Xiang Shao would ask this.

"What happened last time?"

Lin Cong timidly sat next to Xiang Shao and told him what happened that time.

"That time, I completely realized the gap between me and them. My so-called dignity was worthless in the eyes of these people." Lin Cong said sadly.

Xiang Shao hugged Lin Cong, "Cong Cong, you should have told me these things earlier, so that I could support you."

"You don't blame me?" Lin Cong said doubtfully.

"Blame you? Why blame you?"

"I was too impulsive today. I only thought about myself and didn't consider the Xiang family..."

Xiang Shao smiled and asked, "Do you think you won?"

Lin Cong nodded gently, "I won. She didn't even have a chance to fight back."

Young Master Xiang chuckled, "Then the Xiang family won't lose face."

Lin Cong knew that Xiang Shao was teasing her, and scolded her, "Ah Xiang, stop it, I think Grandpa is angry."

Xiang Shao gently stroked Lin Cong's hair. "Grandpa is not angry because of you, but because of the attitude of the Bai family. They don't take you seriously, and it's too obvious."

"Really? Grandpa isn't angry?"

"You're usually quite clever, but why are you so stubborn now?" Young Master Xiang held Lin Cong's face in his hands. "Why do you think Grandpa said, 'The heir to the Xiang family can't even protect his own family?' This is for the Bai family to hear. Grandpa wants them all to know that you are the granddaughter-in-law he approves of."

Lin Cong suddenly realized that this was indeed the case, but she still felt that her behavior was inappropriate. "I still have to go and apologize to Grandpa later. I was really impulsive at the time."

"Okay, let's go together later."

"A Xiang, let's go home. I'm hungry."

The fight with Bai Luo did consume a lot of physical energy.

"Let's go to the Bai family. The dinner hasn't ended yet." said Xiang Shao.

"Are you going back?" Lin Cong asked in confusion.

"Of course, do they want to let this go? I don't agree."

"But, will Grandpa..." Lin Cong was very worried. Mr. Xiang was a highly respected man, and she couldn't implicate him because of her own affairs.

"Don't worry, I have a measure."

……

When he came to the Bai family again, Xiang Shao had changed into a condescending expression.

Enemies often meet on a narrow road, and I ran into Bai Luo as soon as I entered.

However, Bai Luo had calmed down and just glared at Lin Cong without taking any action.

When Bai's mother saw Xiang Shao and Lin Cong coming, she immediately ran over to them and said, "Hey, Xiang, you're finally here. Come in and sit down. Elder Xiang is waiting."

"Okay." Xiang Shaolian didn't want to say anything polite.

Sitting around the table, the dinner officially began.

Only the Bai family and the Xiang family were assigned to this position. The Bai family's purpose was very clear, which was to win over Young Master Xiang to discuss cooperation.

As the host, Bai's father gave an impassioned speech.

However, neither Mr. Xiang nor Mr. Xiang bought it.

Mr. Xiang narrowed his eyes and rolled up the skewers in his hands, looking completely indifferent.

Young Master Xiang leaned back in his chair, fiddling with his phone.

Seeing this, Bai's father felt a little embarrassed and sat down after a few polite words.

During the banquet, Bai's mother asked Young Master Xiang, "Ah Xiang, when are you getting engaged?"

"It hasn't been confirmed yet." Xiang Shao replied.

"No rush, things have to be done slowly, and people have to be understood slowly."

Everyone knew that the "person" that Bai's mother was referring to was Lin Cong.

"Don't worry, Aunt Bai." Xiang Shao said directly.

"I'm happy for you that you've found someone you like. But society is too complicated now, and many girls have complicated minds. I've always advised Bai Mo to keep his eyes open." Bai's mother wanted to belittle Lin Cong overtly and covertly.

"Aunt Bai, what does it mean to have impure thoughts?" asked Xiang Shao.

"I like you on the surface, but in reality, it's profitable. So I told Bai Mo that I must find someone who is of equal status."

"Aunt Bai is right. I will find a few girls of equal status to introduce to you so that you don't have to worry about Bai Mo's affairs." Xiang Shao said with a smile.

After hearing this, Bai's mother immediately refused, "No, no, no, Bai Mo is not in a hurry yet."

Xiang Shao stopped talking and just lowered his head to eat.

Seeing that Mr. Xiang did not give her face, Bai's mother smiled awkwardly and stopped talking.

Bai Mo couldn't stand his parents' submissive behavior, so he said directly to Xiang Shao: "Xiang Shao, there are some things that may be more appropriate for us to discuss."

Xiang Shao raised his eyes and looked at Bai Mo, "What does Mr. Bai want to talk about?"

"You should know that as long as we two companies cooperate, the entire market will be ours." Bai Mo was very direct.

Young Master Xiang nodded. "Boss Bai is right. Joining forces is the safest way. But how should we divide the profits?"

Bai Mo said readily, "Okay, you take six and we take four."

Xiang Shao smiled and said, "You're so conservative. I'm not interested."

"Then what do you mean?"

"Do you want to hear the truth?" Xiang Shao sat up straight.

"Just say it."

"I don't plan to cooperate." Xiang Shao didn't want to beat around the bush.

When these words were spoken, Bai's parents and Bai Mo all frowned.

Ever since they learned that Xiang Shao had started a company, they have been determined to get it.

Apart from the Bai family, does Young Master Xiang have any better choice?

"A Xiang, you should know the principle of interdependence. If our two families do not cooperate, others will definitely take advantage of us." said Bai's father.

"Uncle Bai, this is my first time starting a company and I don't have any experience. I don't dare to drag the Bai family into this mess." Xiang Shao said.

"Hey, how could it be muddy water? You are young and promising, we all see it, if we help each other, we will all be better off."

Bai's father tried his best to persuade Young Master Xiang. He knew that as long as he could cooperate with Young Master Xiang, it would be effortless to cooperate with other members of the Xiang family.

"What Uncle Bai said makes sense, but I'm just a rookie and can't help the Bai family in any way." Xiang Shao's words and deeds showed that he was uncooperative.

"We can let Mr. Xiang check our cooperation. There will be no problem." Bai's father looked at Mr. Xiang, hoping that Mr. Xiang would say a few words for him.

Mr. Xiang was even more direct. "Young people have their own way of doing things, and Bai Mo is no different now. The old ways of you and me won't work anymore."

Mr. Xiang’s meaning was very clear: he would not interfere with who Mr. Xiang cooperated with or how they cooperated.

Bai's parents didn't say much.

The table became very quiet.
