Chapter 29: He Values Banxia

Lin Banxia looked up at him, shaking her head. “I don’t know, what’s wrong?”

“I’m going to the airport to pick her up at nine tonight.” Zhan Jingting forked a piece of steak into his mouth, his tone calm.

“Oh, okay.” The girl nodded, thinking, he doesn’t need her permission to do anything.

Zhan Jingting continued, “The Zhan family and the Jiang family are old friends. I don’t have a formal engagement with her, but the elders always joke about it, and Grandpa also hopes we’ll be together.”

Hearing this, Banxia was slightly stunned. “Then… we’re married, how will you explain to the elders? And… do you like her?”

“If I liked her, I would have married her directly. Do I need Grandpa to urge me?”

“So, this is my rival number one?” Lin Banxia smiled, then thought of Yu Tong from last night. That wasn’t even a blip on the radar.

The Jiang family?

As a native of Yincheng, Lin Banxia naturally knew the status of the Jiang family, one of the four major families, powerful and influential.

So the Jiang family’s only daughter, she must be a pampered and spoiled young lady, not only academically excellent but also with diverse interests.

“What rival number one? I’m not interested in her.” Zhan Jingting told her, “It’s her business that she likes me. With someone like her around, Grandpa insists I pick her up, so it’s necessary to tell you in advance.”

“Mr. Zhan cares about my opinion?” Lin Banxia couldn’t help but smile, “Misunderstandings or not, it depends on your discretion, Mr. Zhan. You’re a married man now, you should set a good example for the child.”

“Don’t worry, I will be a good father.”

With those words, Lin Banxia was actually satisfied.

The reason she was willing to marry him was entirely because she wanted to give the child a complete family, and a father’s responsibility was crucial.

After lunch, Zhan Jingting sent her back to Su Lin Mansion. “Pack your things, I’ll have someone come and move them. Let me know if you need anything.”

“Okay.” She didn’t intend to be polite with him, because she was genuinely worried that Yang Yiming would set the place on fire.

At that moment, Yang Yiming was so angry he couldn’t even eat lunch. Finally, someone came to report, “Mr. Yang, we found out, Lin Banxia’s whereabouts are at Su Lin Mansion.”

Hearing this long-lost and familiar name, he was stunned for a moment. The property the old man left her?

Thinking about the fact that they had already torn apart, a hint of darkness crept into the middle-aged man’s eyes. “Set it on fire, tonight!”

“Yes.” His subordinate nodded and left.

Lin Banxia quickly moved into Yuzhu Villa with Uncle Ming. Shen Butler had already arranged a spacious and comfortable room for them.

Even the caregivers’ accommodation was arranged, right next to Uncle Ming.

An Yu didn’t move in because she bought a house.

She wasn’t Lin Banxia’s subordinate, but her good friend. She decided to find a job and settle down in Yincheng.

If anything needed to be taken care of, a phone call could reach her, and this friendship would last forever.

The afternoon sun was warm and pleasant.

In a spacious and comfortable room on the second floor of the Yuzhu Villa, a large, soft bed was covered with pristine white sheets.

Mr. Ming sat in a wheelchair by the window, the warm sunlight filtering through the glass, gently enveloping him.

Even in the summer, he wore a knitted sweater. Years of suffering had weakened his body, making him sensitive to the cold.

Lin Banxia had just finished feeding him his medicine. The caregiver nearby took the empty bowl and handed her a handkerchief.

Banxia gently wiped the corner of his lips, taking meticulous care of him.

The courtyard outside the window was empty. Mr. Ming stared out, his eyes unfocused, as if he were a puppet devoid of thought.

“Miss Lin,” the caregiver took the handkerchief from her and left the room, closing the door behind her.

Banxia sat in the chair by the window, leaning forward to tuck the blanket around Mr. Ming’s legs. She then held his hand tightly.

Looking at his haggard face, she softly told him, “Uncle Ming, this is the Zhan family, a very, very safe place. From now on, we’ll live here.”

Mr. Ming remained unresponsive, motionless in his wheelchair.

After staying with Mr. Ming for about ten minutes, Banxia got up and opened the door, instructing the caregiver to come and watch over him. She then went to another room.

This room was empty, with few furnishings. On the carpet was a desk.

The walls were adorned with photographs of Yang Yiming with his friends and family, maps, and a large blackboard with a timeline drawn on it.

Yes, she had replicated the clue room from the Su Lin Mansion.

Her gaze lingered on the old photos, focusing on the two middle-aged men beside Yang Yiming. She had arranged to meet them this afternoon.

There were things to discuss, but she wouldn’t go herself.

Just then, her phone rang. She took it out and saw it was her subordinate calling. She answered, “Hello, Shao Heng, how’s it going?”

“Boss, the two of them have decided to withdraw their investment. The three projects that Yang Yiming just signed are definitely going to fall through.”

“Good, very good.” A slight smile played on Lin Banxia’s lips. “Let him cooperate with us, treat them as key clients and maintain a relationship with them. These two will be useful in the future.”

“Yes.”

As soon as Banxia hung up the phone, she knew the play had begun.

In the president’s office of the Lin Group, Yang Yiming held the contract in his hand, finally letting out a sigh of relief. “With the injection of funds from Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang, the company’s operations will be temporarily secured.”

Xie Yueru asked, “When will we have money to buy a house?”

“Money, money, money! All you care about is money! Do you know the company is facing bankruptcy?!” Yang Yiming said sternly. “Several projects that were previously agreed upon have mysteriously fallen through! I’m constantly anxious these days.”

Little Master, there’s more to this chapter! Please continue reading, the story gets even more exciting!

Just then, the assistant hurried in, urgently saying –

“It’s not good, President, the funds from Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang were supposed to arrive by now. I called them, and both sides decided to withdraw their investment. They didn’t give a reason, but I suspect another company offered them better terms.”

Yang Yiming was struck like a bolt from the blue, sinking onto his chair.

Xie Yue’s face turned pale, and she couldn’t even breathe. She quietly slipped out of the office. As soon as she left, she heard the sound of things being smashed.

In the evening, at the Yuzhu Villa.

A Lamborghini appeared in the yard. The door opened, and two adorable children excitedly jumped out, arms outstretched as they ran towards the living room –

“Mommy!!”

“Mommy! We’re back!”

They had so many interesting things to share from their first day at kindergarten!

Lin Banxia’s head popped out from the living room. Seeing her children running towards her, and Zhan Jingting, tall and handsome, with deep features, following behind them carrying two school bags, she felt a sense of inexplicable beauty.

Under the setting sun, the scene was strangely beautiful.

A happy smile bloomed on her face, and she reached out to embrace her two children at the door. “Did you have fun at kindergarten today?”

“Yes! Daddy picked us up!”

When they mentioned Daddy, the happiness on their faces was something that nothing else could replace.

At this moment, Zhan Jingting walked in.

Lin Banxia was a little surprised. “Didn’t you go to pick up Jiang Qianxue? Why are you back?”

“It’s our first day of being legally married, and there are many things that haven’t been announced yet.” Zhan Jingting stood still in the living room and clapped his hands three times.

The two children, who had just finished school, looked up in surprise. “Legally married?”

At this time, the butler and the maids all gathered around. “Good evening, Mr. Zhan!” Mr. Zhan must have something to announce.

Zhan Jingting put down the school bags and took Lin Banxia’s hand, intertwining their fingers.
