Chapter 862: Bai Ling's Troubles (II)
Tucked away in a small alley, this bar is a bit different, with different lights and loud music, and a raucous atmosphere.
On the contrary, the atmosphere here reminds Wang Xiaochuan of the kind of American-style country bars he sees on some American television.
The clerk inside seemed to be familiar with Bai Ling, and when she entered, he took the initiative to greet her and lead her to the bar.
After sitting down in his seat, Bai Ling ordered himself a glass of whiskey, and then turned to ask Wang Xiaochuan.
"What do you drink?"
"Beer will do. Wang Xiaochuan responded.
Then, he asked, "Sister Bai Ling, do you often come here?"
"Sort of, I'll come when I'm not happy. How's it going? It's a nice place, isn't it?"
"Yes, yes. Wang Xiaochuan nodded, his eyes swept over Bai Ling.
Just now she said that she would come here when she was unhappy, doesn't that mean that she is not very happy at the moment?
Sure enough, under Wang Xiaochuan's close gaze, he really noticed that Bai Ling, who was sitting in the bar, had lost the dignity and intellectuality she had in the Western restaurant before, with frowning eyebrows and melancholy eyes, all revealing the sorrow in her heart.
Wang Xiaochuan frowned, needless to say, he could guess that most of the things that made Bai Ling so upset were because of her marriage with Yu Shaoqing.
At this time, the bartender brought the wine, which was sold by the glass, a large draft beer for Wang Xiaochuan, and a small glass of whiskey for Boling.
Bai Ling picked up the wine glass and said to Wang Xiaochuan: "Come to Xiaochuan, let's touch one, thank you for getting me out of trouble today." ”
The two touched each other, and then Wang Xiaochuan took a sip of wine by himself, while Bai Ling drank all the whiskey in the glass in one gulp.
It was a very high degree of whiskey, not some beer, so Wang Xiaochuan immediately said: "Sister Bai Ling, you drink slowly, beware of getting drunk!"
"It's okay! I'm just going to get drunk!" The smile on Bai Ling's face at the moment had faded, leaving only a somewhat lonely expression, she finished drinking one glass, and immediately asked the bartender for a second glass, and then a third glass, Wang Xiaochuan didn't finish a beer, she had already drunk several glasses.
"Sister Bai Ling, really drink less. ”
"I know!" said Bai Ling, asking for a new glass of wine.
At this time, the bartender at the bar also saw that she seemed to want to get drunk, and her eyes fell on Wang Xiaochuan on the side, as if she wanted to ask if she wanted to give her wine.
Wang Xiaochuan just wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but saw that Bai Ling had already reached out and snatched the wine from the bartender.
"Sister Bai Ling!"
Wang Xiaochuan said dissatisfied.
Bai Ling still took a sip to himself, and then said with a wry smile: "Xiaochuan, you let me drink a little better today, otherwise, after a while, I am afraid that I will not be as free as today." ”
Wang Xiaochuan was silent for a moment, and said, "Do you mean a relationship with the Yu family?" Sister Bai Ling, what age is this, and the current marriage no longer pays attention to the orders of parents. ”
"You don't understand Ogawa. Bai Ling smiled bitterly: "For ordinary people, they may really be able to control their marriage, but for me, it is impossible. Do you know why I married Yu Shaoqing this time?"
Wang Xiaochuan shook his head.
Seeing this, Bai Ling paused, and then asked, "Xiaochuan, do you know our Bai family?"
Wang Xiaochuan still shook his head.
Bai Ling smiled: "It's normal that you don't know, our Bai family is not in Jiangbei Province, but in nearby Jindong Province, it's normal that you don't know." ”
"Speaking of which, our Bai family is also a big family in Jindong, and the Baolian Group in my hands now is only part of our family's industry. It is said that when I was a child, it was the heyday of our Bai family, and through the relationship with some leaders, our family controlled most of the mining business in Jindong, and made a lot of money as a result. ”
"It was only later, because the state controlled the ore mining, that our family's ore mining business gradually declined. You won't have heard of our Bai family, and part of it is because of this. ”
"Without those mining, now in our Bai family, the most profitable business has become my Baolian Group. Thanks to you, the business of the Baolian Group has been getting better and better in the past year, and the profits have accounted for almost 60% of our family's income! But it is precisely because of this that many people in the family are jealous of my current position. ”
"Because they wanted to snatch the Baolian Group from me, these people came up with a ghost idea, they planned to marry me off, and then take over the business of the Baolian Group from me in a good name. And Yu Shaoqing is the object they are looking for. ”
"The Yu family behind Yu Shaoqing has some friendship with our Bai family, and the old man of the Yu family has a relationship with my grandfather, so this proposal was unanimously agreed by our family almost immediately. Even my father and mother thought it was good to marry me to Yu Shaoqing. ”
Wang Xiaochuan's eyes narrowed, flashing a touch of coldness, he couldn't imagine that there was such a reason in Bai Ling's family affairs, those Bai Ling's relatives, just for their own selfish desires, actually wanted to marry Bai Ling to a stranger she had never seen before, these people are really bastards!
"Xiaochuan, I really want to push this family matter away, but you heard it before, even my grandfather has already made up his mind about it. ”
"My grandfather was very old-fashioned, even a bit patriarchal. Since I took over the Baolian Group, I have worked hard to keep the group in good order, and I have worked hard for the development of the group, but in the end, what have I gained, I don't want them to throw them away like tools! Are they from the Bai family, am I not?"
Bai Ling's expression was excited, his tone was almost accusatory, and his eyes were slightly red as he spoke.
After saying that, she sobbed and wanted to raise her glass, but found that the glass was empty, and the bartender in front of her didn't know when to hide to the side.
Seeing this, as soon as Bai Ling stretched out his hand, he snatched Wang Xiaochuan's beer, raised his head, and drank the wine in the cup.
Then, with a bang, she lowered her glass and coughed violently, and her white face turned a little red.
And Wang Xiaochuan on the side was silent for a while.
It is said that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and I can't imagine that even a strong woman like Bai Ling has such unknown troubles.
