Novel Bin Chapter 1565 - General Ling Kaiyuan’s Birthday (4)
Unfortunately for them though, their hopes aren’t going to come to fruition tonight. Instead of greeting all those fancying females, the guy remains preoccupied with opening the passenger seat door for his important guest.
For a moment, all the men attending the birthday banquet was gob smacked by how beautiful and stunning this new lady was. To be fair, there are no shortages of beautiful woman on Earth due to cosmetic surgery, but this sort of beauty didn’t fall into that sort of a bracket. It’s too natural, too pristine and unique.
“Who is this woman? Why is she with Ling Lang?”
“I bet she’s Ling Lang’s new girlfriend. He changes it so often, I bet this is another one. Trust me, this woman won’t last more than a few days. The Ling household is so prestigious, only a proper lady would be able to step through its door.”
There are only so many females of high society in this capital city of the country, the very fact that they don’t recognize Bai Yan leads them to believe she’s not part of their circle. And what happens to those who don’t mingle well in their circle? Obviously they would be shoved away and frowned upon, especially in this case by the females attending the banquet. You could literally see the jealous flames burning in their eyes.
Bai Yan naturally overheard their gossiping discussions due to her sharp ears, even so, she could care less and instead turned around to help a certain little steambun off the vehicle.
“Mother...” Bai Xiachen’s been trying hard to push his side of the door open when he got dragged out from his mother’s side. The boy actually almost fell over due to this.
It couldn’t be helped that the rascal would appear so pitiful and teary. This would be the first time he rode on a car and it nearly scared him to death. Then the tin can wouldn’t open its door, which only made him more frantic because he didn’t like the fact that he’s trapped somehow.
“Sir Ling Lang is playing with some woman that has a child this time around? In that case I bet she won’t even last a day if she’s that old. The old general would be furious if he finds out.”
“Che, and what’s up with the way he calls his own mom? Who calls mother nowadays? Does that kid think he’s in some kind of old martial art’s drama or something?”
The voices of these people were very sour to the ear regardless of their gender, apparently upset by the fact that Bai Yan and her son got to ride with the flirt. Then again, this outcome was to be expected. Whether it be men or female here tonight, they had one or more reason to get close to Ling Lang like setting up a marriage arrangement or trying to form a business relationship. There’s just so many benefits to getting close to the Ling household.

“Yi Yi, you’ve been looking like you’re in a daze for a while already, can you come back to your senses now?” Bai Yan asks her foster sister who stood there in a blank state.
Bai Yi Yi didn’t really come back to reality though. Stiffly turning her head like a robot, the young lass still showed the same disbelieving dull look in those eyes: “Sister Bai Yan, I still need a minute to digest this.”
Bai Yan dragged her out tonight and took her to see Bai Xiachen. Originally the poor girl thought the nephew would only be a little baby, yet it turns out he’s already so old so how could she not be surprised beyond compare?
