Why are you so proud? With the system in hand, the goddess can get it if she wants.

As soon as Xu Lang walked out of the gate of the community, Bai Chu apologized with a choked voice: "I'm so sorry, I didn't know it would be like this today, I..."

Before I could finish my words, tears started flowing uncontrollably.

Xu Lang took out some toilet paper from his pocket that he had used to wipe his butt at noon and handed it over: "When I came here, I saw a teahouse next door. Do you want to sit down and talk?"

"Thank you." After wiping the tears from her cheeks, Bai Chu continued with Xu Lang's words, "Then I'll buy you some tea."

Bai Chu may not have to pay for the tea, but she still had to be given a chance to speak.

The two walked to the teahouse and asked for a private room. After the waiter left, Xu Lang slowly spoke:

"The last time we had dinner together, you looked so worried. Was it because of something at home? Or was it something about your company?"

Bai Chu looked at Xu Lang with some surprise.

He actually noticed that she was sad that time, but still didn't ask anything.

Nodding, he said, "My father told me that day that he would take me to a drinking party in the evening to meet his friend's son and asked me to dress up. Combined with the company's financial problems, I knew it was time for me to repay the Bai family's kindness.

I was unwilling in every way, but there was nothing I could do. Just then you sent me a message, so I thought it would be good to go out and relax. I'm sorry, did I affect your mood that day? "

"Not really. I was quite hungry that day, so I knew the food was pretty good."

Bai Chu recalled the scene of Xu Lang concentrating on eating. He laughed and quickly said sorry.

"It's okay." Xu Lang handed Bai Chu another piece of tissue paper, this time it was taken from the table and was not wrinkled.

Then he asked, "What's the situation with your company? How can you send your daughter away?"

Thinking of the company's affairs, Bai Chu looked at Xu Lang with a worried look on his face. After thinking for a long time, he slowly said:

"My family used to be in foreign trade, but the market has been bad in recent years and we have basically no business. The assets in our family are enough to live a comfortable life even if we give up, but my father refuses to admit his old age and thinks he can still create another glory. He listened to the analysis of other family members that the real estate industry is a pillar industry of the economy and will only get better and better in the future.

Within a few days, he decided to go into real estate, but he didn't expect that real estate would burn money so quickly. Such a small piece of land cost more than 100 million yuan, and the money for subsequent construction was all loans and borrowed money, so soon he had no money left to invest.

If we stop construction now, all the money we made before will be wasted, and my family won’t be able to invest more money, so they have to use me to exchange for money. To put it nicely, it’s a marriage alliance, but to put it bluntly, it’s…”

Bai Chu sneered as he spoke.

She had no control over anything in her life from beginning to end.

She understood everything but was helpless about everything. That feeling of powerlessness depressed her for a long time.

I didn’t want to say it before, and there was no one I could tell it to. This time, I feel much better after telling Xu Lang everything.

After listening to this, Xu Lang asked in confusion, "Uncle was a veteran in the business world. How could he have entered the real estate industry without any consideration?"

Bai Chu shook his head helplessly and replied, "My father actually took over the company not long ago. This was built by my grandfather and my aunt. My aunt never got married and had no children. She was busy with her career all her life. She fell ill and passed away not long ago. My father took over the company only two years later, and... it was like this..."

This……

No wonder this old man seems to be mentally ill.

It turns out that I have never done much work in my life, just waiting to be fed.

He can ruin a company that has been run by two generations. Is it really okay to invest in him?

Bai Chu took a sip of tea, his eyes dead calm as he said, "He is not my biological father, but my stepfather, the one who raised me for more than 20 years."

The speaker said it calmly, but the listeners were shocked.

Xu Lang was a little bit unbelieving, but then he thought, if it was his own daughter, he would never be willing to sell her.

I drank a cup of tea awkwardly.

He didn't know how to respond to this question. He couldn't ask, "Where is your biological father? Why doesn't he want you anymore?"

Bai Chu continued, "I'm sorry. We finally met, but I've embarrassed you time and again. You don't have to read the project book, invest, or make things difficult for me."

"Then... since your family can't continue, why don't you just sell the entire project? Is it because the location is not good?"

Xu Lang asked, trying to find a way to keep her.

Bai Chu then shook his head and said, "Everyone is eyeing this fat piece of meat. My father snatched this land from someone else when he bought it. It would be better to wait until my father goes bankrupt and liquidates before buying it from him at a lower price than to buy it from him now."

Well, judicial auction prices are indeed cheaper than market prices.

"Who did you steal it from?" Xu Lang asked casually.

"The Yan family is the largest real estate developer in City A. My father bought the land. They were planning to build the third phase, but my father snatched it away."

This world is truly a circle.

Or in other words, rich people form a circle.

No matter how many twists and turns there is, there is no way to escape the Yan family, otherwise it would just be a novel.

Since this matter concerns the Yan family, Xu Lang no longer has any intention of staying out of it. He quickly organizes the information given by Bai Chu in his mind.

Although they were classmates, Xu Lang did not believe everything she said.

Just assume that everything she said is true.

"Thank you for listening to me for so long. I feel much better now. Thank you."

"Ah? Ah! It's okay. It's what I should do." Xu Lang came to his senses and replied.

"I'm sorry, I never thought these things would happen today." Bai Chu said again apologetically.

She really didn't know how to express her apology except to apologize.

Even though Xu Lang had rescued her, she still called him home and humiliated him.

"No, it's okay. You don't have to apologize all the time." Xu Lang said absentmindedly.

He was actually a little annoyed because she kept apologizing and interrupting his thoughts.

The land alone costs more than 100 million.

This is the land that the Yan family wants.

He was still thinking about how to use the land to get involved with the Yan family.

……

On the other side, Yan Zhentian was holding the donation statistics of the charity gala and looked at Xu Lang's name with a serious expression.

Never seen this name, never heard of it.

There is a man named Xu in City A, but he is a coffin tinkerer. His family assets may not even be worth 10 million, so how could he directly donate 10 million?

Could it be that a new family has emerged in City A?

He didn't master it?

Impossible.

He picked up the phone at hand, dialed a few numbers, and asked in a deep voice: "Who brought Xu Lang to the charity party?"

He would look through the list of people who would come to next year's charity gala. Every year, the people who came were pretty much the same, and the name Xu Lang would definitely not be on the list.

The only possibility is that it was brought by someone else.

The person on the other end of the phone said, "Boss Yan, Xu Lang is here with Miss Li Le'er from the Lemon Tea chain."

"Li family?" Yan Zhentian murmured.

"Yes, Mr. Yan."
