Chapter 544: Chapter 539: My Elder Cousin Is About to Be Cheated On
Back when the Fu Family wanted to form an alliance with the Bai Family through marriage, Bai Yusen was against it, but he was too young for his opinion to carry weight.
Later, when his parents had an accident, to stabilize the Bai Family, he had no choice but to rely on the Fu Family’s influence, causing Tangtang to suffer quite a bit from the Fu Family’s mistreatment.
Now, with the Bai Family leveraging Ji Ning’s influence, they can completely help Tangtang break free from the marriage alliance with the Fu Family.
Although in the future, people might criticize the Bai Family for being ungrateful, even so, he still wanted Tangtang and Fu Yuanxuan to cancel the engagement.
So this time coming to Beizhou, he was prepared to fight to the death.
Using the Bai Family to exchange for the Fu Family’s withdrawal from the marriage.
Huang Ying frowned at him for a while and reminded, "Yu Sen, if you don’t want Tangtang to be in pain later, don’t use Sister Ning to achieve any of your goals. You won’t want to see her wrath."
"So she really is..."
"Bai Yusen!"
"I know, don’t worry, I won’t let you down."
Bai Yusen smiled helplessly, raising his hand to gently stroke Huang Ying’s tense face, "Come on, where to feed the Mutant Tiger? I didn’t expect my girlfriend’s monthly business trips were to be a zookeeper here."
Huang Ying: ...
***
On the other side.
"Sister Ning, I did it..."
Bai Xiaotang ignored her dizzy, exhausted head, trying hard to show Ji Ning the tiny white light emerging from her fingertips.
"Not bad. Remember this energy pathway, and practice it daily."
Bai Xiaotang nodded vigorously, plopping down onto the ground, stupidly asking, "Sister Ning, does this mean I’ve awakened my superpower?"
"Yes, but when practicing, keep an eye on your body’s energy balance. You can’t severely overdraw your energy to save others; it will affect your lifespan."
Bai Xiaotang didn’t nod this time, with a tangled expression, "What if there’s someone I must save?"
"Bai Xiaotang, remember, when helping others, you must act within your means. Your own life always takes precedence."
Seeing Ji Ning so stern, Bai Xiaotang nodded, "I’ll listen to Sister Ning."
But Sister Ning, brother, Xiao Yang, Sister Xiaotong, Sister Ying... are exceptions.
"Sister Ning, when will it give birth?"
"Soon, in the next couple of days."
"Was the previous trip also coming here?"
"Yes."
"That’s amazing, I want to become a great healing ability superpower user like Sister Ning in the future too."
Ji Ning smiled, raising her hand to give Bai Xiaotang some healing, stood up and said, "You Le is at the hotel, you can go find her."
"You Le is here too?" Bai Xiaotang raised her voice in disbelief.
"Her parents are researchers here."
Bai Xiaotang’s mouth turned into an O shape.
Suddenly delighted, she exclaimed, "Now we just need Sister Xiaotong and Xiao Yang, and we can have a reunion in Beizhou!"
Ji Ning’s footsteps slightly paused.

This Beizhou investment fair invited the top 20 financially ranked companies from each continent to participate, with a maximum of 5 members per company.
Even with limited spots, forces from each continent almost fought tooth and nail for a spot to come to Beizhou, using all kinds of means, with dozens of companies nearly combined to bankrupt others to eliminate their qualification.
Later, someone smart came up with the idea of a business alliance, sending 2 people per company, expanding the participating families to 50.
The extra spots were assigned by the top 20 families, making the additional 30 spots to Beizhou highly coveted.
Even a single spot sold for a staggering five million.
Chang Ru and Sun Yazhu paid a hefty price to get a spot for this trip to Beizhou.
The two encountered each other on the ship heading to Beizhou.
"President Sun, long time no see." Chang Ru smiled, walking over first and extending her right hand to Sun Yazhu.
Sun Yazhu looked at her expressionlessly, saying lightly, "Long time no see, Miss Chang."
She was already aware of Chang Ru’s betrayal, stepping on the Sun Family to side with the Gu Family.
As a result, the Sun Family’s assets in the Outer Continent were halved.
When she wanted to trouble the Chang Family, she found they had already cozied up to the Gu Family’s in-laws, the Cao Family.
She could only swallow her anger for the moment.
This time, spending a hefty sum to go to Beizhou was also to find an opportunity for the Sun Family’s resurgence, not expecting to run into Chang Ru.
Since she was courting death, she shouldn’t blame her for being rude.
Chang Ru, looking at the still exquisite woman in front, felt unsettled. The Sun Family was already on the decline, yet she still had the leisure to prettify herself.
Truly the airs of a spoiled miss! Totally oblivious!
Chang Ru continued with a smile, "President Sun, have you set your eyes on any projects this time? Maybe we can collaborate."
"No need for collaboration, the projects I’m interested in, the Chang Family may not keep up with."
Chang Ru’s smile instantly stiffened on her face, seeing Sun Yaru already passing her by without so much as a glance, her heart seething with anger.
The Sun Family now relied on an alliance with the Tang Family just to secure their assets.
Does Sun Yazhu still think she’s the high and mighty eldest daughter of the Sun Family?
Just a grasshopper in autumn, won’t be able to jump for long.
Chang Ru turned her gaze towards a man not far away, smiling as she walked up to him.
...
Sitting not far away, Gu Sili nudged Lin Yuanyang beside him, "Bai Xiaotang’s cousin has her eyes on the Tang Family’s Young Master again."
Lin Yuanyang glanced over, uninterested, and continued staring at the Smart Brain screen, "Are you bored?"
"I just so happened to see it. This woman is something else. Just got a spot through the Cao Family, and now she’s moving on to other men. My older cousin is about to wear green."
"Xiao Shi!" A voice of warning came from across, and Gu Sili immediately shut his mouth.
Sitting across from the two, Gu Shuangcheng wore a black tailored suit, white underlay, paired with a dark blue patterned tie.
On his handsome face rested frameless glasses, and his once soft hair was now meticulously groomed, epitomizing the social elite image.
At a glance, no one would believe he was still studying in school, only seeing him as a formidable opponent seasoned in the business world.
This trip to Beizhou was a task given by the Li Family, and if completed successfully, he would be adopted into the Li Family, becoming the Young Master, inheriting all the Li Family’s honors.
This was a dream come true for their branch.
Gu Shuangcheng’s stern gaze made Gu Sili too intimidated to lift his head, internally anxious.
"My apologies, Young Master Lin, Xiao Shi has no filter, please don’t take it to heart."
Lin Yuanyang understood and didn’t lift his head, replying calmly, "No worries, she’s not my cousin."
"Young Master Lin, I happen to know some old news about the Chang Family..."
Lin Yuanyang’s fingers paused, he looked up, "What news?"
"On the flight in which the Bai Family parents had their accident, Chang Ru’s parents were also passengers, but they didn’t board the plane."
Lin Yuanyang’s fingers instantly tightened, he stared at Gu Shuangcheng for a while before saying, "How do you know about this?"
"I found out by accident. And Chang Ru’s parents received a call just before boarding, the caller was Chang Ru herself."
Lin Yuanyang felt his chest tightening as if a large hand was squeezing his heart.
He steadied his voice, "Are you saying that Chang Ru stopped her parents from boarding the flight, yet didn’t stop others, including Bai Xiaotang’s parents, her own aunt and uncle?"
"I don’t know, it might be as you speculate."
Lin Yuanyang tried calming himself down, his gaze towards Gu Shuangcheng growing colder.
"What’s your purpose in saying this?"
