Xiao Yao ran up to Bai Xiaosheng, his smile especially cheerful, even grabbing Bai Xiaosheng’s hand, appearing incredibly close.
Both the butler beside Bai Xiaosheng and the elderly woman accompanying Xiao Yao were stunned as they watched the scene unfold.
These two knew Xiao Yao well; one had seen her, the other understood fully this little girl’s temperant.
That’s why they were even more surprised!
To make Xiao Yao behave so warmly and happily, few from her own family could manage such a feat.
"Big brother, why are you here?" Xiao Yao couldn’t help but ask, "Are you here to celebrate the birthday too?"
Bai Xiaosheng nodded and smiled, "Yes, indeed."
"Then how co I’ve never seen you before?" The little girl was quite curious.
Being able to get in here ant Bai Xiaosheng’s status wasn’t ordinary, normally such individuals would have been seen over the years.
After all, Xiao Yao roams the whole courtyard, even checking out the front hall, she knows most of the guests and the guests mostly know her.
"Because it’s my first visit here, for the celebration and to discuss cooperation as well," Bai Xiaosheng explained to her with a smile.
The butler, standing nearby, chid in with a smile, "Yes, yes. Young lady, this gentleman is here to discuss cooperation with Mr. Danlun."
"I’m talking to my big brother, why are you interrupting? Can’t I ask him myself!" Xiao Yao was displeased, glaring at the butler.
Being able to chat more with Bai Xiaosheng made her very happy.
The butler hurriedly apologized, and facing Xiao Yao’s reprimand, he dared not show even a hint of dissatisfaction.
What a domineering little girl!
Bai Xiaosheng chuckled inwardly.
However, he understood; Xiao Yao had ntioned she was the youngest in her family. Being pampered and spoiled was naturally inevitable.
The elderly woman accompanying Xiao Yao also approached, smiling politely and nodding at Bai Xiaosheng.
Young lady was very close to this young man, and because of her fondness, she had a slightly better impression of Bai Xiaosheng.
Besides, Bai Xiaosheng was suave and graceful, patient in talking with young lady, this further improved her impression.
Bai Xiaosheng also smiled and nodded to the elderly woman.
"Discuss cooperation, what kind of cooperation are you discussing? Sounds interesting!" Xiao Yao’s eyes brightened.
To her, nothing seed worthwhile, but this matter felt intriguing.
Bai Xiaosheng chuckled, patting her little head, "Xiao Yao is so clever, when you grow up, you’ll definitely handle matters independently, negotiating will surely be a great success."
Facing Bai Xiaosheng’s complint, Xiao Yao basked in pride, smiling confidently, "Of course, I’m already very impressive."
The elderly woman watched Xiao Yao with a smile.
Being interested in business and trade as a descendant of a rich family isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
The butler beside couldn’t help but scratch his head secretly.
Mr. Danlun’s task hadn’t been fulfilled, and now, before entering the hall, this unexpected little ancestor cropped up, seemingly having a good relationship with this young man!
Does the young master know about this?
Will things change because of this?
He must investigate this matter and report to Mr. Danlun soon, he can’t be blad if problems arise.
But, despite his doubts, the butler dared not ask Xiao Yao.
Failing to get an answer and getting reprimanded would delay matters and be counterproductive.
"I wonder how Mr. Bai got to know the young lady?"
The butler smiled, seizing the opportunity to inquire Bai Xiaosheng.
The elderly woman glanced at him, then at Bai Xiaosheng. She too was curious about this.
Though young lady encountered danger today and had benefactors to help, she ntioned three people, yet only one was here. The elderly woman had suspicions, but couldn’t confirm. If this young man was indeed one of the three, she should properly thank him, even the old lady would likely express gratitude.
This ti, without waiting for Bai Xiaosheng’s reply, Xiao Yao had already spoken ahead, telling the elderly woman, "Nanny Zhang, this big brother is the one who saved today!"
So it really is him!
The elderly woman’s eyes glead.
And the butler perked up his ears, listening in amazent.
Nanny Zhang stood solemnly in front of Bai Xiaosheng, slightly bowed, earnestly thanking, "Young brother, thank you for saving our young lady! We’ll make note of this kind deed!"
"You’re too kind, Nanny Zhang, too kind. I only happened to co across the situation, saving is what anyone should do," Bai Xiaosheng replied politely.
Nanny Zhang looked up at Bai Xiaosheng again, her gaze filled with warm laughter.
"Your kindness to our young lady isn’t sothing that can be repaid by a few words from a servant like . Just earlier, the old lady said she’ll spare no effort to find you to personally express gratitude! Since you’re here, I’ll report it soon, and the old lady definitely would wish to et you."
Nanny Zhang’s words were resolute.
Bai Xiaosheng felt a bitter smile internally, though he saved unnecessarily for personal gratitude, it seed inevitable now.
"If the old lady is available, I should pay my respects to her," Bai Xiaosheng replied politely.
Even though he saved Xiao Yao, he didn’t hold himself as entitled to gratitude, his response was appropriately courteous.
Nanny Zhang imdiately bead, the more she looked at Bai Xiaosheng, the more she liked him.
And the butler also widened his eyes in astonishnt at Bai Xiaosheng, realizing this person had indeed saved Xiao Yao, which was truly remarkable!
This news needed prompt reporting to Mr. Danlun.
Moreover, with Xiao Yao’s presence, many of the tasks entrusted by the young master might not be accomplished! The butler thought to himself.
"Mr. Bai, let’s not stand here talking, please co inside." The butler gestured for Bai Xiaosheng to enter, and smilingly said to Nanny Zhang, "You and the young lady go back first, and report accordingly. If the old lady has spare ti, then let the gentleman go over."
The butler’s intention was to first send Nanny Zhang and Xiao Yao away, so he could imdiately report, allowing Mr. Danlun to make further arrangents.
Nanny Zhang nodded at the butler’s suggestion, obviously agreeing with it.
"I don’t want to! I want to be here with big brother, Nanny Zhang you go back and tell grandma yourself!" Xiao Yao directly pulled Bai Xiaosheng’s hand, heading towards the hall, "Big brother, since you’re here, let take you over!"
This unexpected change agitated the butler.
Nanny Zhang, however, smiled, "Since that’s so, I’ll return to inform the old lady, but the old lady might be busy, please wait patiently, young brother."
She knew Xiao Yao couldn’t be dissuaded, so she would follow what Xiao Yao decided.
Besides, this was the Luo Family. Here, young lady Xiao Yao’s safety would surely never be an issue.
Bai Xiaosheng nodded, smiling at Nanny Zhang, "Alright."
Nanny Zhang’s words solidified the matter completely! The butler lanted internally, without any solutions.
At the mont, he only wished to quickly escort Bai Xiaosheng inside, and return to report.
Fortunately, as Nanny Zhang said, the old lady being busy ant his report would likely precede hers, allowing Mr. Danlun to prepare in advance.
The butler decided not to devise further plans.
"Then Xiao Yao, let’s head over together," Bai Xiaosheng observed that neither Nanny Zhang nor the butler had any objections, and spoke with a smile to Xiao Yao.
Though Bai Xiaosheng had saved Xiao Yao without seeking anything in return, considering Xiao Yao’s significant status in the Luo family, if he achieved the Luo family’s gratitude and cooperation, he wouldn’t resist.
Who said good deeds couldn’t be rewarded?
Xiao Yao guided Bai Xiaosheng towards the hall, with the butler following along.
Nanny Zhang then turned to leave.
On the way, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but ask Xiao Yao, curious and in a low voice, "Xiao Yao, what is your relation to Luo Danlun, is he your brother or cousin?"
Xiao Yao snorted, muttering, "How could I have such a brother, always so full of himself."
Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t resist laughing, yet grew more curious, wondering what this "young lady’s" true background was.
"Big brother, did you mistake for a mber of the Luo family?" Xiao Yao, sharply perceptive, suddenly asked.
This comnt left Bai Xiaosheng montarily stunned.
"Aren’t you?" Bai Xiaosheng asked surprised.
Even the butler called her "young lady" constantly, could it be that Xiao Yao didn’t have the surna Luo?
"My surna is Qin, I’m Qin Xiaoyao. I’m just like you, a guest here!" Qin Xiaoyao exclaid.
