Chapter 358: Chapter 358: Attend a Banquet_1

Bai Jinyu gives her a light smile, “Miss Hai, long time no see.”

Hai Xiaotang walks over, asks with confusion, “Mr. Bai, why are you here too?”

Bai Jinyu doesn’t respond, but Hua Xuan says, “Xiaotang, I brought Mr. Bai for your sake.”

“Help me?” Hai Xiaotang is slightly taken aback.

Hua Xuan nods, “Grandpa Hai hasn’t been found yet, but luckily, Mr. Bai happens to know someone who may be able to help find him.”

Hai Xiaotang exclaims with surprise, “Really?”

This time it’s Bai Jinyu who replies, “It’s not guaranteed that he would be found, but I think the probability is high.”

“But even the police can’t find my grandfather…”

Bai Jinyu smiles slightly, “That’s exactly why we need someone to help.”

Hua Xuan also says, “Xiaotang, the person Mr. Bai is seeking is very powerful. Right now, I fear only he can find out about your grandfather’s whereabouts!”

Hai Xiaotang trembles.

Can Grandpa really be found immediately?

But Hai Xiaotang knows there’s no such thing as a free lunch…

She looks at Bai Jinyu, “Mr. Bai, why…why do you want to help me? I believe the person you’re looking for is very influential and wouldn’t easily help others. I don’t know how I can ever repay your enormous generosity.”

Bai Jinyu discerns her thoughts and gently says, “Miss Hai, relax. I’m helping you, and I don’t expect anything in return.”

“Expect nothing?” Hai Xiaotang is surprised, not understanding his generosity.

Bai Jinyu nods, “Yes. I have a good relationship with your uncle, Mr. Hua. I owe him a great debt, so I am willing to help you to repay him.”

“Xiaotang, we will do our best to help you find your grandfather.” Hua Xuan assures.

Hai Xiaotang is surprised they would help her so much.

She’s very grateful, “Thank you all. Mr. Bai, thank you. Cousin, thank you too.”

Hua Xuan laughs, “You don’t need to thank me, Xiaotang. We are one family and helping find Grandfather Hai is initially our responsibility.”

But Hai Xiaotang is still very grateful to them.

If they’re willing to help, Hai Xiaotang is naturally very happy. Thinking about finding her grandfather soon, she can’t describe how elated she is.

The unpleasantries of the morning caused by Dongfang Yu is now completely brushed off from her mind.

…

Bai Jinyu will take Hai Xiaotang to a banquet tonight.

The person they’re seeking is the host of tonight’s banquet.

Before nightfall, Bai Jinyu takes Hai Xiaotang to select a dress and get ready.

When Hai Xiaotang walks out of the dressing room in a gorgeous evening dress, Bai Jinyu waiting at the door is bedazzled.

He stares at her without blinking, with undisguised admiration in his eyes.

Hai Xiaotang feels somewhat uneasy under his gaze, “Mr. Bai, is there a problem?”

Bai Jinyu reveals a handsome smile, “No problem at all. I just never thought, Miss Hai could be this beautiful.”

Her appearance is a stark contrast to when she’s not all dolled up.

With no makeup, she’s as pure and flawless as a cloud in the sky. With makeup, she exhibits an attractive glamour, not in the least vulgar, for her eyes are clear and sincere.

It’s her pair of eyes… very captivating…

Hai Xiaotang blushes from his compliment. She quickly changes the subject, “Should we leave now?”

Bai Jinyu smiles, extends his arm, his voice low and gentle, “Yes, we should set off now. Xiaotang, I’m honored to have you as my companion tonight.”
