Bai Youxin was leaning against the wall of the carriage, eyes slightly closed, wearing a white cape embroidered with lucky bamboo, with a circle of fox fur around the collar and a few simple jade hairpins on her head.

"Go to Lin's Trading Company. I want to meet the third young master of the Lin family." Bai Youxin opened her eyes, and her deep pupils revealed a calmness and demeanor that was inconsistent with her age.

The man driving the carriage said respectfully, "Yes, Miss."

Sitting next to Bai Youxin was her personal maid, Ju'er, who looked two years younger than Bai Youxin. She spoke in a soft Jiangnan dialect, "Miss, have you decided to marry the third young master of the Lin family?"

"But if you get married, what will happen to the family? The young master is only two years old, and the old master is not in good health."

Juer knew Bai Youxin too well, and knew that she was only concerned about the eldest branch of the Bai family. So she was very confused when the young lady suddenly came to Beijing.

Bai Youxin was looking outside at this time. The last time she came to the capital was three years ago, but it seemed that not much had changed.

After hearing what Ju'er said, Bai Youxin said expressionlessly, "Young Master Lin feels guilty towards me. When the Lin family and the Bai family marry, he will promise me that I will continue to take care of my mother's family's business. Not only that, he will also do his best to help me."

Ju'er said, "Miss, you are taking a gamble. What if the third young master of the Lin family is a heartless person? Miss's life will be ruined."

Bai Youxin shook her head and said firmly, "He is not that kind of person."

Juer tilted her head, "So what kind of person is he?"

"Gentle and dignified, a gentleman is like jade." Bai Youxin murmured.

She knew exactly what kind of person Lin Wuchen was. She chose to marry into the Lin family not only because Lin Wuchen felt guilty towards her, but also because this person made her palpitate.

Ju'er added, "Don't ever think about what happened on the pleasure boat that day..."

Bai Youxin swept a sharp look at Juer, who immediately shut her mouth and shrank her neck.

Then, the driver's voice came from outside, "Miss, we are at the backyard of Lin's Company."

Juer got out of the car and helped Bai Youxin down.

Bai Youxin had been here before and knew where the head of the Lin family usually stayed. So when she entered and saw no one, she did not specifically look for anyone to report, but walked straight in.

Not long after walking, a servant came up and asked, "Miss, who are you looking for?"

Ju'er answered for her, "Our young lady is the young master of the Bai family, and she is here to meet the third young master of the Lin family."

The servant hurriedly said, "It turns out to be Miss Bai. What a coincidence! Our Third Young Master is out."

Bai Youxin asked the servant again where Lin Wuchen had gone and when he would be back. But the servant could not answer a single word, only knowing that the Third Young Master had gone out.

"Juer, let's go." Bai Youxin was about to turn around after saying this, but she saw a servant from the Lin family's study bringing in tea.

She stopped turning around and asked, "Is there anyone in the study? Has the head of the Lin family changed?"

She knew the Lin family's study, which was also where the person in charge of the Lin family in the capital handled matters and looked at accounts.

Logically speaking, since Lin Wuchen is not in the capital, others should not enter.

The servant smiled and replied, "Miss Bai, you misunderstood. It is the fourth cousin of the Su family who is inside. Before our third young master left, he told her that the fourth cousin can make decisions on the affairs of the Lin's Company in the capital."

Bai Youxin muttered word by word, "The fourth cousin of the Su family? The Su family... is it the boss Su from Huajin Pavilion?"

The servant nodded and said, "That's right, Miss Fourth Cousin is the owner of Huajin Pavilion."

Bai Youxin didn't leave, and walked straight to the study, saying, "It's fate that we met. Huajin Pavilion has done business with the Bai family before, and I just happened to meet Boss Su."

Upon hearing this, the servant immediately trotted a few steps and went to the study door to report.

"Miss Fourth Cousin, Miss Bai is here and wants to see you."

Su Shunci was checking the accounts in the room at this time, of course, he was checking the accounts of Huajin Pavilion.

Because the next batch of goods shipped by sea has been prepared since today. She was afraid that the Lin family's servants would not be able to find someone to take charge, so she brought the account books directly to Lin Wuchen's study.

When Su Shunci heard that the young lady of the Bai family was coming, she was subconsciously stunned, still wondering which Bai family it was. Then she suddenly remembered the Bai family of Jiangnan Jinshang. The only young lady of the Bai family that she had an intersection with should be the young lady of the Jiangnan Jinshang Bai family.

Su Shunci hurriedly said, "Please invite Miss Bai in."

She also stood up and walked out. Before she reached the door, the servant pushed it open and Bai Youxin and Juer also walked in.

Su Shunci asked the two to sit down and told the servants to serve tea.

After the two of them sat down as host and guest, Su Shunci looked at Bai Youxin for a few times and thought that she was indeed worthy of being the one who could take charge of the Bai family. Her overall demeanor was also one of the best in Beijing.

When she looked at Bai Youxin, Bai Youxin also looked at her and was surprised. Why is the boss Su of Huajin Pavilion so young?

She looks to be only fourteen or fifteen years old now, so how old was she when she did business with the Bai family?

The servants brought in tea, and Su Shunci asked in a casual way, "Miss Bai is from the Bai family, a brocade merchant in Jiangnan?"

Su Shunci was still just guessing about the identity of the person in front of him. He had to find out before he could speak. Otherwise, it would be a big deal if he made a fool of himself.

Bai Youxin nodded and said, "Yes, before, Third Young Master Lin helped Huajin Pavilion to place an order from the Bai family, and he contacted me."

Today she came in to see Su Shunci just to see what kind of person could catch the eye of the third young master of the Lin family.

The person who could be entrusted with the family business by the Third Young Master Lin and allowed to enter his study must be no ordinary person.

When Su Shunci heard Bai Youxin say this, she thought she came for business matters.

After thinking for a while, he said, "My third cousin is out. If Miss Bai has something to do with him, why not tell me first?"

She didn't want to be Lin Wuchen's boss, but she was afraid of delaying the important business. Besides, she and Lin Wuchen were in a cooperative relationship now, so if it involved shipping, she should ask.

But this made Juer a little unhappy. Their daughter was the third young master's wife of the Lin family, and what was the identity of this boss Su in front of him? Why did he ask questions on behalf of the third young master Lin?

Ju'er was somewhat hostile to Su Shunci and said, "Our young lady came here to discuss marriage with the Third Young Master Lin."

"I'm afraid Boss Su can't make the decision on such a big matter."

Su Shunci paused while holding the teacup. "Discuss marriage? Whose marriage are you discussing?"

Ju'er said, "Of course it's the marriage between our young lady and the third young master of the Lin family. The third young master of the Lin family has asked to marry our young lady many times."

She was not lying. Lin Wuchen had indeed written several letters to Bai Youxin, stating in the letters that he would be responsible for the matter, and as long as Bai Youxin nodded, he would go to the Bai family to propose marriage.

Su Shunci's heart suddenly felt like something was blocking it, and his eyes felt inexplicably sore.

She forced herself to calm down, put down the teacup and said with a smile.

"Then congratulations to Miss Bai and my third cousin."
