High School Belle Fell in Love with Me

Chapter 558 - 245: Renowned Musician Bai Yun (Part 3)

"Okay."

Li Yang was still a bit uneasy inside.

Soon he’d have to face his own child.

Not many people knew about Xue Ning and Bai Qing, but Jiang Banxia’s pregnancy was different.

After a while, Li Yang asked, "If it’s confirmed you’re pregnant, how about I have my mom come over to take care of you? She cooks better than I do, and she’s more diligent. I often forget to clean for days."

It’s not that they can’t afford a nanny, he just wanted to have personal space with Jiang Banxia.

Even if they could avoid that feeling with a nanny, it just wouldn’t be the same.

"Well... let my mom come over first. After all, we’re not married yet... hold on..."

"It’s no big deal, everyone can come. Our place is big enough."

"Well... okay then."

For the first time in her life, Jiang Banxia was confused about pregnancy and only knew that having someone to care for her would make things easier.

After all, Li Yang couldn’t be by her side every day.

A few hours later, the two of them arrived in the Capital City.

They didn’t even go home first but headed straight to the hospital for a check-up.

...

Dou Ying, who was still at work, was shocked when she received a call from Jiang Banxia.

Once home, she immediately started packing.

Jiang Yaoting hurried back, saw Dou Ying had already packed, and said, "I’ll go with you."

"What about Dongdong?"

The two of them have a child in primary school.

Jiang Yaoting thought for a moment, "Let his grandparents or maternal grandparents take care of him for a while? Besides, I can’t stay long in the Capital City. Let’s see if we can bring Xiaxia home where both kids can be taken care of."

Dou Ying replied irritatedly, "As if Xiaxia would want to come back! She didn’t even tell us about the pregnancy beforehand. How could she be happy away from Li Yang?"

Jiang Yaoting didn’t care about that. "What’s wrong with Li Yang? He’s not worse off than Xiaxia, after all. They have things in common. Where else can you find someone more suitable than Li Yang?"

Dou Ying: "..."

"Forget about it, now’s not the time for this. Just drive me there. I don’t have the energy to take a high-speed train from Jiangbei. It’s too much trouble."

Though driving takes over ten hours, taking the train from Jiangbei was more exhausting.

Moreover, buying a high-speed train ticket wasn’t easy right after the New Year, with everyone traveling for work, making the crowds unusually large.

If Jiang Yaoting drove, she could at least rest well and be helpful when they reached the Capital City.

"Did you pack my clothes?"

"No, I didn’t. It’s winter anyway..."

"Alright, alright..."

...

Li Yang skipped class on the first day of school.

For the first time, he was neglecting his duties as class president.

After all, Jiang Yaoting had already called, and they would arrive in just a few hours. Not being there would seem inappropriate.

Moreover, when Jiang Banxia confirmed her pregnancy, she was visibly nervous, and he felt obliged to stay by her side.

Li Yang hadn’t yet told Jiang Banxia that his mom also knew and would likely arrive tonight as well.

Seeing Jiang Banxia sitting on the couch a bit lost in thought, Li Yang tried to change the topic. "Hey, isn’t your family updating the family genealogy? What’s the story there? I’d like to learn..."

Li Yang had no intention of inviting a bunch of relatives over; he just wanted to distract Jiang Banxia a bit.

Jiang Banxia came back to her senses and replied, "It’s not much, just spending money..."

"How much money?"

"About over a million each year, like kids under eighteen get a monthly allowance of 500, college students get a thousand a month until graduation. Then there’s a 1,500 monthly allowance for any disabled family members, and seniors over seventy get 2,000 a month."

Li Yang’s eyes lit up, "That’s good, it’s all about mutual support. Respecting the elderly and loving the young are traditional virtues of our Chinese culture, and the amount is just right, not enough to dampen ambition. Who came up with it?"

"My dad. He’s the head of the Jiang Family now. Seeing how happy he is, I’d never turn down a bit over a million."

"Makes sense, makes sense. What’s a bit over a million? You’re soon to be the world’s wealthiest person."

"Still far from it."

Jiang Banxia wouldn’t decline such recognition as most people wouldn’t.

However, becoming the world’s richest isn’t that easy a title to earn.

Even if Li Yang backed her up, pulling Wanliu Capital’s valuation to 300 billion.

Being the world’s richest required at least a net worth of over 600 billion.

Wanliu Capital’s performance this year couldn’t possibly surpass last year’s, as they’re not on the same level in terms of funding.

Let alone doubling their performance.

Moreover, after going public, her shares would be less than 70%. Theoretically, the performance needed to triple compared to last year for her to likely become the world’s richest.

She knew Li Yang deliberately drew her into the topic.

In fact, what she truly longed for was that marriage certificate.

"Darling..."

"I’m here, I’m here."

"Remember New Year’s Day early morning? Were you almost about to lose me?"

Li Yang quickly said, "What’s with the nonsense? How could I bear to let you go? I’d rather lose myself than lose you. Besides, I’m not silly. Letting you go means someone else benefits. I’d bang my head against the wall even in my dreams!"

Jiang Banxia looked at Li Yang strangely. He was clearly lying yet seemed somewhat sincere.

In the past, Jiang Banxia wasn’t particularly concerned about many things, but after becoming pregnant, she realized she did care.

She asked seriously, "Darling, can you tell me about Bai Qing? I’m really curious..."

"Bai Qing who?"

"The CEO of Green Water Group, the president of Aurora Studio, Wu Tianqi’s aunt, the famous musician Bai Yun, the online tycoon ’Ah Ah Ah,’ and the mother of a child..."
