Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 313 Sweetness and Excellence

Once all affairs of the villa are arranged, Butler Bai will come to invite you.

Seeing Bai Xun coming, the doorman and servants of the old house saluted and called him "Master".

Bai Xun nodded and followed Butler Bai into the courtyard.

All the servants he met along the way bowed respectfully and called him "master of the house".

Ah Fu straightened his back unconsciously.

Before, the second young master temporarily took over as the head of the family. When these people heard him call the second young master "head of the family", they all laughed at him for trying to curry favor with the old head of the family. He should be careful not to offend the old head of the family, otherwise he would suffer the consequences.

Now, everyone has to respectfully acknowledge the new head of the family.

Seeing him coming, Bai Yishui smiled and asked, "Has everything been arranged at the other courtyard?"

"Yes, my grandson has opened up another piece of land and is planning to build a warehouse."

"Warehouse? The original warehouse is not enough?" Bai Yishui asked.

Bai Xun said, "Grandfather, the situation is tense right now, with both internal and external troubles. I plan to stockpile some wartime supplies here as well."

Bai Yishui nodded. "It's better to be prepared. I called you here today to give you the seal of the Patriarch. You can't bear the title of Patriarch without the authority of the Patriarch. Of course, I also have conditions.

The underground palace of Xinchuanling is the key to the Bai family's prosperity for another hundred years, and it's also my lifelong wish. The search for the underground palace must never stop. Also, don't get involved in what Song'er is doing. The business over there doesn't appear to be related to the Bai family, so just pretend it doesn't exist and just sit back and collect the money.

Bai Xun said calmly, "Grandfather, one is in the light and the other is in the dark. This is unfair to my brother."

Bai Yishui said: "You respect your brother and always consider him, which is a good thing. But you have your responsibilities, and he also has things he should do."

Bai Xun remained silent.

Bai Yishui sighed and said, "Song'er's business is not just about how much money he can make. It's also what keeps our Bai family alive."

Bai Xun asked in confusion, "Save my life? Grandfather, what do you mean?"

"You just said it, we're facing internal and external troubles. If you want to survive in this chaotic situation, you must have something outstanding, something that others can exploit, in order to gain a foothold.

It's good to be rich, but how many wealthy businessmen have died in recent years, and their wealth has become someone else's in the blink of an eye? Not to mention the distant past, just take the Wang family as an example. The Wang family was the richest family in Huicheng back then, and our Bai family can't compare to their financial strength.

"Back then, Wang Zijin's grandfather was highly respected and the man who had the final say in Huicheng. But what happened? Dozens of his family members were murdered overnight, and their vast fortune went straight into other people's pockets. "Our Bai family is now a target of all forces, so do you know why we didn't suffer the same fate as the Wang family?" Bai Yishui said, looking at Bai Xun.

Bai Xun replied, "You once said that the Bai family is struggling to survive in a tight spot. If we rashly choose sides, we'll be doomed. If we want to survive, we can only maneuver with various factions, offering them sweet treats from time to time to whet their appetites. This is the only way to achieve long-term stability."

Bai Yishui smiled and said, "Money and opium are just the sweet treats to whet their appetites, but finding the underground palace is our Bai family's strength. Although we haven't found the underground palace yet, we have discovered many large tombs and obtained many treasures over the years."

This is something no one else can do, so even if we don't find the Underground Palace, those people will still have to use us. Possessing the Underground Palace means possessing inexhaustible wealth. What a great temptation!

Instead of killing us and taking away the little money they have, it would be better to keep us alive and help them find the inexhaustible wealth. Xun'er, everyone has delusions, always thinking about what if they get it? And how to make good use of these delusions is what the head of the Bai family should do.

Bai Xun understood in his heart that it was just the same power balance tactic he had used before between the Fourth Master and the First Master.

Make the Bai family an object that both hostile parties want to win over, so that they can only treat the Bai family as guests of honor.

Bai Yishui handed the family seal to Bai Xun and said earnestly, "Xun'er, think twice before you act, and maximize the interests of the Bai family."

Bai Xun took the seal of the head of the family and said, "Grandfather, I will let you see a different Bai family."

Bai Yishui smiled and said, "Then Grandfather will wait and see."

The news of the change of ownership of the Bai family spread quickly, followed by drastic reforms implemented by the new owner.

Bai Xun first started with the Bai family, establishing a series of reward and punishment rules, and clearly stated that people should be appointed based on merit and rewarded based on performance. The capable were promoted, the mediocre were given a new position, and those who were incompetent were dismissed directly.

Those who occupy positions but do nothing, those who steal or commit crimes will never be hired once they are discovered.

Once the new regulations were announced, some were happy while others were sad.

Ever since the news that the new head of the family was living in the villa spread, the villa's entrance has been crowded with people these days, and there has been an endless stream of visitors coming to visit the new head of the Bai family.

Ah Fu brought a bowl of hot ginseng chicken soup and placed it next to Bo Xun. He said worriedly, "Master, you should get some rest! You didn't sleep all night last night. You're going to break down if you keep doing this."

Bai Xun put down his pen and touched the kitten curled up on his lap.

"Is there any news from Jincheng?"

Ah Fu shook his head and said, "The people we sent have been waiting near the house and the business for over half a month, but they haven't seen any sign of the Second Young Madam. Sigh, do you think... could it be that Fourth Master Sheng has sent the Second Young Madam away?"

Bai Xun thought for a moment and said, "Not for now. Fourth Master Sheng is very cautious. He won't let Nanchun and his mother out of his sight unless he is absolutely sure."

Grandpa Nan died tragically, and Fourth Master Sheng must be filled with remorse. He will never let Nanchun and his mother take risks again.

"Don't focus on the house and business we lived in before. Focus on the paradise, Ning'an Teahouse, and the theater." Bai Xun said.

Ah Fu hurriedly said, "Master, if you're so worried about the Second Young Madam, you shouldn't have angered him and left in the first place. Before, you were worried that the old Master and the Old Madam would harm the Second Young Madam, but now that you're the Master, they have to listen to you! Think about it, why don't you tell Fourth Master Sheng that we should bring the Second Young Madam back?"

Bai Xun was silent for a moment and said, "It's not time yet."

Ah Fu curled his lips. "You... always say it's for the good of the Second Young Madam. I don't understand why. I just know that lovers are separated by the world, each grieving. What kind of thing is that?"

Bai Xun waved his hand and asked him to go out.

Ah Fu snorted and walked away angrily.

Bai Xun sighed.

Nanchun had been away from him for almost a month, and the telegram he sent to Jincheng fell on deaf ears.

He couldn't go to Jincheng rashly, for fear of exposing Nanchun's whereabouts.

He felt really uneasy not knowing how Nanchun was doing these days.

"Kitty, do you think he's doing well now?"
