Mommy, the wealthy daddy has come to propose again.

Bai Ning remembered that Lan Qichen said he had something to do tomorrow, and thought that he might not have time to come to the manor, so he took the initiative to decline on his behalf.

"Let's do it next time. Grandpa, you've already made an appointment with Grandpa Zhang. It would be bad to turn it down at the last minute. Be careful that Grandpa Zhang won't play chess with you next time. You won't be able to find him then!"

Mr. Zhang Yu's temper is indeed not very good, but it can't be said to be bad either. It is most appropriate to describe him as an old naughty boy. The company under his control has been handed over to his children and grandchildren. On weekdays, he grows flowers and plants in his garden at home. From time to time, he goes to Gong's house to play chess and cards with Gong Qilin, or chat about past experiences to pass the time.

Gong Qilin snorted lightly: "There are so many people who want to play chess with me. Your Grandpa Zhang is just one of them. In addition to him, there are many other candidates. It's just that his chess skills are more advanced, so the old man is happy to play chess with him."

Bai Ning did not have a very deep impression of Zhang Yu. He only remembered that the old man had white hair and beard, a thin body, and a sharp, narrow face. Although he was old, his eyes still revealed a shrewd look, and one could vaguely see his former charm.

She smiled and agreed: "Yes, yes, Grandpa is right, you are the most popular person in this area, everyone is happy to play chess with you!"

The two were chatting and laughing when the man from home came back.

Shen Ruxue was very happy to see Bai Ning and Gong Qilin being so close, thinking that her daughter had already started to take action and it seemed to be quite effective.

"Ning Ning, come here."

Shen Ruxue waved at Bai Ning, indicating that she had something to say to her.

Her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, with a smile on the corners of her lips and a gentle tone, and she had regained the image of the gentle and loving mother she used to be.

Bai Ning walked up to her mother, but Shen Ruxue pulled her aside mysteriously and asked in a low voice: "Ningning, how is the situation going?"

Ok?

whats the matter?

Bai Ning was confused and looked at Shen Ruxue in bewilderment, asking in confusion: "Mom, what are you talking about?"

She asked herself how things were going, but she had no idea what her mother was talking about!

Confused, bewildered, and at a loss.

Seeing Bai Ning's confused look, Shen Ruxue couldn't help but feel suspicious and asked the question in more specific terms.

"It's about fighting for the right of inheritance... If you didn't have that idea, what were you talking about with your grandfather just now?"

Bai Ning felt that Shen Ruxue had been too sensitive recently. No matter what he was doing, she would always associate it with the heir position for no reason, which added to his pressure.

Bai Ning reluctantly told his mother everything that had just happened, saying that he was only chatting with Gong Qilin about identifying antiques and it had nothing to do with anything else.

Unexpectedly, Shen Ruxue smiled with relief when she heard this, took Bai Ning's hand, and said softly: "That's great, since you and the old man have a common topic, you might as well start from this aspect. Once you please him, it will be easier to get the inheritance rights."

Now Gong Qilin still has the final say in everything inside and outside the Gong family, and the overall situation is still in his hands. Whoever can satisfy him will be chosen as the heir.

Bai Ning certainly understood Shen Ruxue's good intentions, but she had been under too much pressure recently. She got a headache when she heard the word "heir", her head was buzzing, and she lost interest in everything.

"Mom, my stomach hurts a little. I'm going back to my room to rest. We can talk about it another day."

Bai Ning made up an excuse to get away with it, and hurried back to the bedroom, holding his stomach. He immediately felt much quieter and more comfortable.

Without Shen Ruxue constantly nagging in his ears, his mental state slowly recovered and the dizziness in his head gradually disappeared. Bai Ning took a philosophy book from the bookshelf and sat at the desk to read quietly.

The bedroom was very quiet, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Bai Ning was reading a book calmly, with only the rustling sound of turning pages in his ears.
