135: A billion dollars, anyone willing to marry can have it.

Zhang Li's question instantly plunged the atmosphere into deeper awkwardness.

Chen Yang immediately froze on the spot, unsure how to reply.

Holy crap! I was just about to introduce myself, and you interrupted me with a single sentence. Now you ask who I am? I am your father!

Oh dear! Saying that seems a bit impolite. Bai Yuyan would be put in an awkward position!

The key thing is, she asked how I snuck in?

Me... a dignified Big Boss worth a billion, do I need to sneak in?

That's incredibly disrespectful! Am I a mouse? Sneaking in?

"Aunt Zhang, Chen Yang is a friend I invited. Please show him a little respect!"

Bai Yuyan, puffing up with anger, stood beside Chen Yang and immediately grabbed his arm, using her actions to defend her boyfriend's dignity.

Chen Yang could clearly feel that her figure was truly voluptuous!

"Bai Yuyan, how dare you speak to my mother like that?"

Bai Yuzhu instantly shed her earlier dejection, rushed up, and faced Bai Yuyan directly. With her legs spread and hands on her hips, her fighting spirit was high.

Both were red-faced, glaring fiercely at each other. Big chest versus small chest! They were ready to start a major battle at any moment!

"Ahem!" A refined middle-aged man walked out with his hands clasped behind his back, carrying the air of a patriarch.

"A family arguing and making noise—what kind of decorum is this?"

Zhang Li's expression changed, and she was the first to calm down. "Yuntian, it's nothing." "It's inevitable for siblings to have a little spat when they're together. It's not a big deal."

Bai Yuntian nodded. Although this wife had married into the family later, she was sensible and knew when to advance or retreat. Overall, she was very virtuous.

He glanced at Chen Yang, then looked at Bai Yuyan with confusion.

Bai Yuyan was quick on the uptake. She immediately pulled Chen Yang over.

"Dad, this is Chen Yang, my... boyfriend!"

Bai Yuntian frowned slightly but said nothing.

After a few seconds of silence, he looked back at Chen Yang. His tone was measured and revealed no emotion.

"Xiao Chen, is it? Where do you live, what do your parents do, and what is your own profession?"

The cheap father-in-law's demeanor was quite impressive. He truly was an old fox who had dominated the business world for decades, showing no emotion on his face.

In front of Bai Yuyan, he still had to save face a little.

Chen Yang put on a humble and fearful appearance and answered respectfully.

"Hello, Uncle! My name is Chen Yang, and my hometown is Qianshan Town, Binjiang County. Both my parents are farmers." "Currently, I work at the Moon Bay Grand Hotel in Jiangcheng."

Bai Yuntian's frown deepened. He was nothing!

My daughter is so outstanding! How could she find such a piece of trash?

He finally couldn't help but speak his mind. "Young man, don't you think your background isn't quite compatible with my daughter's?"

Chen Yang nodded seriously. "Uncle, you are absolutely right! I also feel that our backgrounds are very mismatched."

"But... I can't help it that Sister Yan likes me! Could I possibly refuse?"

Bai Yuntian nearly couldn't process that. What the hell kind of logic was that? Was he deliberately showing off to him? Or making a declaration?

"If you are a man, then establish a career for yourself honorably." "Don't always think about relying on women to save yourself twenty years of struggle."

Chen Yang pursed his lips. Was he implying that he was latching onto a rich woman and living off her?

Bai Yuyan couldn't stand it anymore. Regardless of the situation, Chen Yang was the one she had invited to help her out. She couldn't let her father scold him away!

"Dad, how can you say that? Even if Chen Yang's circumstances are a bit lacking right now, it's not like he needs to rely on me to achieve anything. He's very capable..."

Unfortunately, Bai Yuntian had no interest whatsoever in finding out how capable Chen Yang was. He turned and walked into the villa.

Zhang Li immediately followed him in, seemingly having something to say.

Bai Yuyan pulled Chen Yang along and chased after them. Today, no matter what, she couldn't back down; she had to ruin the blind date.

Just as they entered the villa lobby, Chen Yang's keen ears heard Zhang Li quietly recommending another young man to Bai Yuntian.

"Brother Tian, Li Yao is Li Changsheng's only son and the sole heir of Changsheng Group in the future."

"It would be a perfect match for Yuyan to marry him."

"What's more, the Li family promised us that as long as the two of them get engaged, they will immediately invest 1 billion yuan into Yuntian Group, with Yuzhu overseeing the project."

"Where else could we find such a good deal?"

Bai Yuntian nodded. He was also very tempted.

The Bai family's business had recently encountered some difficulties. To escape this predicament, they had to rely on external forces.

Changsheng Group's investment came at a crucial time.

Seeing Bai Yuyan and Chen Yang walk in, Bai Yuntian's gaze became even firmer.

"Yuyan, coincidentally, another young talent is also coming to visit today."

"When he arrives, everyone can meet together."

"Since you think highly of Chen Yang, I won't say much more."

"As the saying goes, don't fear poor quality, fear comparing goods. People are the same."

"If you don't compare them, how will you know who is truly better?"

Bai Yuyan tightly held Chen Yang's arm, wanting to struggle a bit more. "Dad..."

Bai Yuntian's eyes turned cold, and he stared intently at her.

Frightened, Bai Yuyan quickly let go and maintained a certain distance from Chen Yang.

Zhang Li felt smug. Once Li Yao arrived, they would know who the young master of a prestigious family was and who the country bumpkin was.

Who to choose wouldn't be obvious?

Bai Yuntian was also certain. As long as they compared them, Chen Yang would feel ashamed of his inferiority and naturally retreat.

"Hello, Uncle Bai, Aunt Zhang, Miss Bai!" A cheerful laugh came from the doorway.

Following the voice, a tall, handsome, slender young man walked in, holding several gift boxes.

Although they weren't large, they looked expensive at first glance.

"Uncle Bai, Aunt Zhang. I came in a hurry; please don't laugh at these small gifts."

A satisfied smile appeared on Zhang Li's face. "Li Yao, why are you being so polite? These gifts aren't cheap, are they?"

Li Yao smiled faintly. "Aunt Zhang, they aren't expensive, just about a hundred thousand yuan. They are merely a token of my regard as a junior."

Zhang Li was extremely happy. "That was thoughtful of you."

Bai Yuntian, upholding his status, did not reach out. Zhang Li helped instead and accepted both gifts.

Subsequently, Li Yao presented gifts to Bai Yuzhu and Bai Yulong as well.

Bai Yulong didn't want to accept them, but he didn't dare anger his father and aunt, so he reluctantly took them.

Bai Yuzhu, however, beamed. "Thank you, Brother-in-law!"

Well, well! In a short while, two 'Brothers-in-law' had appeared.

Bai Yuyan was so angry that she fiercely glared at her younger sister, but Bai Yuzhu completely ignored her.

Finally, Li Yao also presented Bai Yuyan with the most exquisite gift.

Under the oppressive gaze of her father, Bai Yuyan had no choice but to accept it. However, she didn't say a word or open it, instead setting it directly aside.

Li Yao was displeased internally, but outwardly, he remained composed.

Zhang Li smiled as she praised Li Yao. "The Li family is truly a prestigious household; the children they raise are just different."

"He is courteous in his interactions, and every gift is very thoughtful."

She glanced at Chen Yang, her expression of disdain completely unconcealed.

"Unlike some people, a country bumpkin from the countryside, who is rude and ill-mannered."

"Coming to visit for the first time, yet showing up empty-handed? Where is the sincerity in that?"
