Chapter 1 - World’s Number One Dad! (2/2)
Luo Sheng’s buddies cheered with wine glasses in their hands, ” Congrats to you, brother Luo!!!”
The group of people who gathered today were the same smelly brats who grew up playing with Luo Sheng since childhood. They knew what the other was thinking with just eye contact.
Even though they were drinking wine and smoking heavily, the room was not filled with smoke. The ventilation system of this room was done very well, even if a group of people were smoking, the air was not even a bit choking.
Luo Sheng carelessly puffed out a cigarette ring. “Tomorrow’s a date?”
Someone came over and said aloud: “No, tomorrow’s Bai House’s banquet, why don’t you go there and join the bustle?”
After realizing suddenly, that Luo Sheng didn’t know, they explained: “Brother Luo, since you just returned two days ago and were stuck at home, you may not have heard of it yet .”
“Heard of what?”
“You know about the Bai’s Group?”
“Mr. and Mrs. Bai, the chairman of the board of directors of Bai Enterprise, have lost their lives in a plane crash, leaving a little daughter behind, just a little over three years old! Hmm… Maybe not even three years old, I heard she didn’t have her third birthday yet.”
“Whether by will or by law, the three-year-old should inherit the Bai group, right? And such a small heir must have a guardian?”
He laughed and said, “The relatives of the Bai couple of Bai House have been quarrelling all over. They don’t want to lose face but still fight for the right of guardianship. These days everyone of them is a joke.”
A blonde-haired young man sat down next to Luo Sheng, he put a piece sliced watermelon in his mouth. He smiled and said, “What’s with the joke of a party again? Maybe we should be a witness and see the little devil choose her guardian.”
“We brothers are going to see the bustle tomorrow and look what the Golden Doll looks like, also to see which rotten imbeciles have won the favor of the little devil.”
Everybody started laughing, they have not been this lively for a while now. “Should we go to see the bustle?” Asked Luo Sheng.
The brown-haired lazy youth shrugged his shoulders, and said “It’s boring anyway.”
White house was a golden and white three-storey villa. There were gardens in front of and behind the villa. The front yard also has a small playground, slide, swings and everything. You could tell just by looking around that the family was very fond of children.
The overall style of the house was delicate and cozy, which was not as big or luxurious as commonly seen large houses in the posh circle, but just by looking at it you could imagine how warm and happy the family of three used to live in this villa.
Luo Sheng followed his friends and entered the gates of the villa. His eyes fell on the pink swing and paused.
The relatives of the Bai family led by second uncle were standing at the door to welcome the guests. Their faces were plastered with a warm smile and natural attitude as they said their greetings to everyone.
Luo Sheng was bored as he took few sips of wine, he put down the glass, “I’ll go back first.”
“Don’t go! Come on, Luo. The act hasn’t started yet!”
“Wait a minute, just a minute!”
Uncle Bai, who had slightly vicious looks was standing at the centre of the stage with a small microphone in front of him, “Thank you for joining us…”
After a polite opening remark, he looked around, looked at his fellow relatives, and said, “My cousin and sister-in-law are gone, and we are heartbroken. My little niece Bai Yinyin is only three years old, and we are the only living relatives. We brothers, have to take up the family for my cousin!”
“Now please witness, who is little YinYin willing to follow, we are not forcing to let her choose!”
The nanny Zhang Yue was embracing the neatly dressed lady.
The little girl was dressed in a pink fluffy skirt, black bow-tied shoes and a little chirp was tied in her sparse soft hair.
She seemed listless, her small face buried in the nurse’s arms.
Uncle Bai signaled the nanny to let the girl down.
The little girl stood on the carpet with her head hanging low, and Luo Sheng looked at her casually, with a specially made bronze lighter in his hands.
Uncle Bai smiled, approached the little girl, deliberately lowered the voice, “YinYin…”
“Xiaoyin, who would you like to live with?”
The middle-aged man, who was somewhat malicious looking, suddenly softened down and smiled amiably, but still looked vicious.
The other relatives could not just sit down anymore, have approached the girl. Regardless of the presence of outsiders, they said: “YinYin, follow the third uncle, the third uncle’s eldest brother can take you to play Oh!”
“With fourth uncle, your cousin is only two years older than you, you can just play together!”
“YinYin follow…”
The little ball hung her little head low, and the two little hands stirred uneasily together, as if afraid of stepping back.
Everybody was coaxing the little girl noisily but gradually they started to quite down. The uncle looked up and saw the eyes of the people who did not agree. He was stiffled, and shouted out: “Don’t make noise, let YinYin make her own choice.”
After god knows how long, the little girl finally raised her head. Her slightly reddend eyes looked around, just like a new born calf, poor and innocent.
Several big men also had their heart melted. The blonde-haired man got angry and yelled, “Just to get their claws on the money, these lowlifes are actually forcing a child to dead end!” yellowish hair cracked, said: “
“Is that just a little money? Ten billion!”
In the end, these are things that do not concern them, the high and mighty, cold-hearted brothers and wives. A few words will pass around, but nobody is really going to do anything. It’s impossible that someone would bother.
After sighing, some people thought it was also very sour, looking at the group of red-eyed greedy relatives, “I don’t know how much bad luck this little golden doll has to be picked by these wolves!”
Everyone watched with interest.
“Anyone will do?” little YinYin asked timidly.
Uncle Bai smiled and looked around, surrounded by relatives, “Of course you can!”
Surrounded by the crowd, YinYin sniffed and looked up at the crowd.
Finally…her eyes fell on the brown-haired man on the couch in a small cubicle not far away.
Her eyes lit up, though she was slouched like a little flower bud, she now was in great spirits. She held out her little chubby hand, pointed to the brown-haired man and was about to call him in great spirits.
The system stopped her, “Don’t call him Dad!”
YinYin paused, the little hand still pointed to the lazy man half-leaning on the sofa, in a childish sweet voice but confident way she said: “Want him!”
