Chapter 1402: Chapter 1267: Big Brother-in-law Wei Xueqi

Upon hearing that Sir Wei wanted to meet Bai Xiaosheng, Wei Changzun gave his instructions. Bai Xiaosheng stood up, greeted everyone, and followed Mr. He out.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying carried the prepared gifts and followed behind.

Everyone watched them leave.

Wei Changzun and Yue Yingran exchanged glances, their eyes filled with a hint of amusement.

Before meeting Bai Xiaosheng, they actually harbored some resistance toward their daughter’s so-called favorite person.

After all, one was a wealthy heiress from a noble family, while the other was a nameless young man—how could they be a match?

The gap between the two was as stark as heaven and earth.

It wasn’t that Wei Changzun and his wife, as parents, held such rigid notions of family prestige or were willing to sacrifice their daughter’s happiness for the greatest benefit to the family.

That would be underestimating them!

Wei Changzun and his wife were concerned about how two people from completely different life circumstances could walk the road of life together.

If the two had vastly different routines, spending habits, and even values, then how would they face the continual clashes and conflicts of opinions looming in their future? Ultimately, once the beauty born of love was eroded by time, what would remain between them?

Even when families are well-matched in background, there is still talk of the "seven-year itch."

Oftentimes, love eventually dissipates. Some turn into betrayal, while more transform into a companionship requiring shared values and habits to sustain.

Being well-matched in background is not a feudal relic but rather a parent’s—or someone experienced—a way to provide maximum protection for their children.

It helps reduce problems at the source.

Of course, emphasizing a well-matched background isn’t an absolute or unchanging principle.

After all, marriage ultimately depends on the individuals involved.

Having met Bai Xiaosheng, Wei Changzun and his wife were very satisfied.

Bai Xiaosheng, this young man, was excellent!

His character and abilities were remarkable!

Moreover, although he didn’t come from a prestigious family, he could, through his own efforts, form connections with influential figures and earn their sincere friendship and trust.

Such capability is more valuable than any wealth!

This recognition validated that Bai Xiaosheng was indeed outstanding!

Wei Changzun and his wife even silently decided to not only stop opposing them, but to actively "help" them.

Yue Yingran sending Bai Xiaosheng’s calligraphy couplets to Sir Wei stemmed from this intention.

On the surface, Wei Changzun used Wei Xuexuan’s challenges as a way to test Bai Xiaosheng. In reality, if Bai Xiaosheng proved exceptional and performed satisfactorily in this hidden test, it would also be a form of assistance from Wei Changzun.

After all, Uncle Wei Changluo strongly opposed the marriage between Wei Xuelian and Bai Xiaosheng. By giving Wei Xuexuan an opportunity to showcase herself and promising significant nurturing, Wei Changzun effectively neutralized Uncle Wei Changluo’s opposition in this matter.

In the end, the thoughtful and deep intentions of parents can truly be profound and weighty.

...

Bai Xiaosheng followed Mr. He out of the reception hall and arrived once again at the mountain path before them.

The upper segment of the mountain road, serene and winding, was gentler compared to the lower section but featured more rocks and trees, exuding a greater charm.

"Sir Wei is very fond of the pair of couplets you wrote, so he specifically requested that I bring you over," Mr. He said to Bai Xiaosheng with a smile. "Today’s younger guests climbing the mountain include only three or four exceptionally talented young masters from the family, as well as the favorite grandchildren of Sir Wei’s close friends. Truly few in number."

Bai Xiaosheng also smiled and, together with Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, followed Mr. He as they climbed upward.

Welcoming pines, resting stones, mountain streams—each step and each view along the way offered a different scene.

This mountain path was undoubtedly designed with great care.

Bai Xiaosheng admired the landscape as he climbed, inwardly praising it.

As they continued upward, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly spotted someone walking down from the opposite direction.

As the two drew closer, Bai Xiaosheng began seeing the person more clearly.

Approaching was a young man with a slightly pale complexion, looking scholarly and delicate but possessing an attractive appearance. He seemed slightly older than Bai Xiaosheng, wearing an ephemeral smile as though detached from all worldly cares.

"Mr. He, who is that?" Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but inquire in a low voice.

It was better to know the identity of the person before greeting them.

"That is Miss Wei Xuelian’s elder brother, Young Master Wei Xueqi," Mr. He replied, his eyes carrying a faint smile with a hint of deep admiration.

It seemed that this Young Master Wei Xueqi was the true prodigy of the Wei Family.

Bai Xiaosheng immediately tensed.

Wei Xuelian didn’t often mention her brother to him, and it seemed the feelings between the siblings were somewhat indifferent?

From Bai Yuefeng, Bai Xiaosheng had learned bits and pieces about how Wei Xuelian had been bullied by her male cousins in the family. Yet her elder brother seemingly never stood up for her.

A person with cold familial ties.

This was Bai Xiaosheng’s judgment of Wei Xueqi, who was smiling as he approached.

As the two sides drew nearer.

Wei Xueqi stopped and smiled, waiting.

"Young Master Xueqi," Mr. He greeted him first with respect.

Wei Xueqi smiled warmly and spoke gently, "Mr. He, have the others wait here. I wish to walk with him alone for a while."

While speaking, he pointed at Bai Xiaosheng.

"Xueqi Brother," Bai Xiaosheng greeted him politely.

The man was indeed older than him and was also Xuelian’s elder brother, so both reasoning and etiquette justified calling him "Brother."

Wei Xueqi casually sized up Bai Xiaosheng and gave only a faint nod.

"Alright, Young Master Xueqi," Mr. He responded respectfully, then stepped behind Bai Xiaosheng, stopping everyone else, including Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying.

"You, come with me," Wei Xueqi said offhandedly to Bai Xiaosheng and turned to climb further up the mountain.

Bai Xiaosheng stepped forward to follow him.

After walking for a while along the stone-paved mountain path, its twists and turns soon made Mr. He and the others only faintly visible in the distance.
