Life Changing System
136 An apologetic bow
When he heard his wife’s words, Li Cong Tian could only smile and swallow the words he had been about to say.
What he had been going to ask was who Bai Chen was, where he was from, and what his family’s financial background was like.
But when he heard Li Yu, he also remembered that he would no longer get involved with who Li Lin loved, liked, or would marry.
Li Cong Tian intended for her to choose by herself. He did not want a repeat of the Xi Dong situation—the person he had thought was the perfect match for his daughter. It turned out horribly wrong when Xi Dong showed his true colours.
If it had not been for his sworn brother General Huang Qian, the Li family of Xing Zhou would have already met its end.
Due to all these reasons, it was only sensible for him to swallow down what he had planned to say.
A smile shone on Li Cong Tian’s face. He nodded to welcome Bai Chen warmly.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Li Cong Tian. You can call me Uncle Cong Tian like my wife just said.”
Li Lin was very incredibly happy. She was really pleased with how her parents welcomed Bai Chen. It seemed like what they had said that day was the truth.
“Good evening, I’m Bai Chen, Li Lin’s friend.” Bai Chen smiled back, trying to act as normal as he possibly could.
But it was quite surprising that Li Cong Tian and Li Yu could be this friendly with him. They did not know his background, the person who had come along with their only daughter.
But their friendly manner made Bai Chen very pleased with them.
“Okay, Little Lin, you don’t need to help us welcome the guests anymore. Just take your friend inside.”
Li Cong Tian turned to look at his daughter before he spoke. He was also thinking that after this, he would send someone to dig up information on Bai Chen’s background.
It was clear when he said no matter who Li Lin loved, he and his wife would allow it. But that did not mean that he would not check up on the status and character of the person his daughter was interested in.
He needed to be sure that the boy was worthy of his daughter.
The financial aspect was not a concern. Li Cong Tian needed to do this was purely because of Xi Dong—one could not judge a book by its cover!
“I know,” Li Lin said merrily before turning towards Bai Chen.
Bai Chen nodded lightly before handing Li Lin’s parents the gift he had prepared.
Then, he followed Li Lin through the open door that was a short distance from where Li Cong Tian and Li Yu were standing.
“Hello, Cong Tian, Yu, here is your anniversary present.”
Bai Chen had only just taken a few steps when a well-dressed middle-aged man handed his gift to the couple. Beside him was a middle-aged woman, who was dressed up equally well.
The lady’s face, though, was abnormally pale and thin. The middle-aged couples were none other than Tang Zi Cheng and Tang Yien from the Tang family, one of Beijing’s five biggest families.
They had been very disappointed a few days back when they went to see Long Xu In at the Long vacation home but had not met Bai Chen.
Bai Chen, who had a vaccine that could treat GT-2, had already left with Xu Xue Ning.
As they had not seen him, it was not strange that the couple was disappointed. Not being able to meet with Bai Chen, they had been unable to strike a deal to buy the vaccine from him.
Afterwards, they came back to Xing Zhou and kept calling Long Xu In for updates. She had not told them anything.
These past few days had made Tang Zi Cheng and Tang Yien feel rather hopeless. If they could not get their hands on the vaccine, in a few months from now, Tang Yien would undoubtedly die from the GT-2 disease.
The reason they had come to this anniversary party is that they had received an invitation from Li Cong Tian.
Since Li Cong Tian was a sworn brother to General Huang Qian and Li Yu was also his sister, the Tang couple needed to show up. It was a way to honour the general.
“It’s Zi Cheng and Yien. Thank you for attending our anniversary party,” Li Cong Tian said politely before accepting the gift.
Li Yu also welcomed the Tang couple with a smile.
“D... darling, th...that...that!” Tang Yien’s lips trembled. Her body was shaking hard. When her eyes met with a familiar back, her eyes gradually widened.
Tang Zi Cheng stopped smiling and looked where his wife was looking.
At that moment, his body shook hard, as though he had been struck by lightning.
That back, that suit—he remembered them very well. It was Bai Chen!
The hearts of the Tang couple were bursting with excitement.
Li Cong Tian and Li Yu showed curiosity on their faces. They did not know what Tang Yien was so excited about, so they had to turn and look. But they saw nothing that would cause such panic as to cause that utterance to be made in a shaky voice.
The only thing they saw were the backs of Bai Chen and their daughter walking into the hall.
“B... Bai Chen. Mr. Bai Chen, please wait!” Tang Zi Cheng shouted out loudly.
Bai Chen stopped in his tracks. He turned around to look because the voice was very familiar. Li Lin did the same as him. She turned back to look as well.
“...” Bai Chen could not help but fall silent when he saw the Tang couple.
He had not expected to see the two of them again here. They were the reason why he had failed a mission for the first time!
His brows furrowed slightly, but he did not say anything.
“Mr. Bai Chen, we are so sorry about that day. My wife and I were the ones who were rude to you. We hope you could find it in your heart to forgive us.”
When he saw Bai Chen knit his eyebrows and not say anything, Tang Zi Cheng started to panic. He spoke quickly with his head slightly bowed to Bai Chen.
Tang Yien also bowed her head down to Bai Chen apologetically.
Li Cong Tian, Li Yu, and Li Lin were all shocked when they heard the Tang couple’s words and saw their actions.
Who were Tang Zi Cheng and Tang Yien?
They were members of the Tang clan, one of the biggest families in Beijing!
Seeing their heads bowed in apology to a young man like this, there was no way the Li family would not be completely shocked and astonished by this act.
It was clear that Li Lin also knew Tang Zi Cheng and Tang Yien.
Bai Chen was still silent. No words came out of his mouth. It was clear that he did not care for their apologies at all.
In his mind, the only reason they were apologizing was undoubtedly to get their hands on the vaccine for GT-2.
Of course, he would not give it over. He had already said there would be no second or further chances. Also, Bai Chen had already decided that even if they said sorry, he still would not help them!
All of this was because of Tang Zi Cheng’s actions that day. Bai Chen remembered them very clearly!End of Chapter 136
