543: Chapter 543: Lin Wanhao?

The Bai Family from Haizhou?

Zhou Yu was stunned.

He had never heard of this power before.

Bai Yuzhen spoke slowly:

“The Bai Family from Haizhou is the top family force in the region of Haizhou.”

Just one sentence made Zhou Yu take a sharp breath of cold air.

What was the concept of a top force in Haizhou?

It was almost the equivalent of the top family forces throughout the entire Dragon Country.

He had not expected that Bai Yuzhen, known in the Lin Family of Yancheng for her gentle, wise, and quietly giving nature, had such a significant background!!!

This truly shocked Zhou Yu.

“Then how did you and Uncle Lin…”

Bai Yuzhen showed a look of reminiscence.

On her face, sweetness and sorrow intertwined, making her seem ethereal.

“I met Wanhao when I was in university.”

“Wanhao was outstanding in university, considered one of the most excellent youths of the school.”

“At that time, I had concealed my identity and was an inconspicuous figure at school, but he somehow noticed me, and we quickly fell in love…”

“During our courtship, he was very devoted to me.

Many excellent and beautiful girls approached him at school, but he never wavered, and soon after we graduated, I decided to marry him…”

“But my family strongly opposed it, even resorting to some coercive measures.

If it hadn’t been for my mother’s staunch support, it would have been impossible for us to come together…”

As she spoke, two streams of tears had already flowed down Bai Yuzhen’s cheeks.

“Aunt Bai, you…”

Zhou Yu was moved.

Bai Yuzhen waved her hand, indicating it was nothing.

She continued:

“To let me pursue my own happiness, she argued with the family, and a lot of things happened, which eventually led to her falling gravely ill and passing away unfortunately.”

“Before passing, she held my hand and told me that once I was certain, to boldly go forward without hesitation.”

“My mother blocked all the pressure for me, and only then could I finally be with Wanhao, but as a result, I also left the Bai Family.”

At this point, Bai Yuzhen looked up, her gaze filled with a plea and trust.

“Zhou Yu, Aunt Bai knows you’re a good kid and that you’re not just anybody.”

“I want to ask you to take good care of Luoluo.

Even if you don’t want to marry her in the future, please don’t make her sad, okay?”

Zhou Yu gave a wry smile.

“Aunt Bai, you’re being too serious.

With my qualifications, what right do I have to be picky?”

Bai Yuzhen shook her head and said:

“Zhou Yu, your Aunt Bai is from the Bai Family of Haizhou, and the Bai Family is involved in both business and martial arts.”

“Aunt Bai knows that you are a martial artist, and moreover, your cultivation is not low— at least at the Innate level, I guess.”

“Young people like you are not common even in Haizhou.”

“Ever since you came to the Lin Family, Yancheng has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Wanhao, Luoluo, they don’t realize it, but I am very clear that all this is your doing.”

Zhou Yu was speechless.

He had not expected Bai Yuzhen to see through matters so clearly; he really had not noticed before.

At the same time, he was also shocked.

Bai Yuzhen, with her delicate thoughts, keen mind, and proper demeanor, was indeed the scion of a top family.

Zhou Yu took a deep breath.

“Aunt Bai, rest assured.

Now that I have registered my marriage with Luoluo, I will never let her down as long as she is willing.”

Bai Yuzhen wiped her tears and showed a relieved smile.

“Good, then I can rest easy.”

“Aunt Bai, actually, there is something I am very curious about.”

“As you said, if the Bai Family from Haizhou targets the Lin Family, that also would make sense.

But why would a major force from the Capital City also target the Lin Family?”

Bai Yuzhen hesitated for a moment before saying:

“Perhaps it’s because of Wanhao.”

“Uncle Lin?”

Zhou Yu was stunned again.

“Yes.”

“Your Uncle Lin was truly outstanding in university.”

“Although he ended up with me, there really were a lot of girls who pursued him.”

“One of the most excellent among them was from the Yan Family of the Capital City.”

“The Yan Family?”

Zhou Yu’s eyes narrowed.

He had just dealt with a Yan Bin, and now, from Bai Yuzhen’s mouth, the Yan Family was mentioned again.

Could this just be a coincidence?

“Right.”

“The Yan Family from the Capital City is no less powerful than the Bai Family from Haizhou, they might even be stronger.”

“And that girl was not just any member of the Yan Family; she is the daughter of the Family Head, the direct lineage of the direct lineage, with a status and power far stronger than mine in the Bai Family.”

Zhou Yu was so shocked his jaw dropped.

Lin Wanhao must have been incredibly outstanding to have the daughters of the major forces of both the Capital City and Haizhou fall in love with him.

This was almost too fantastical.

If it hadn’t been for Bai Yuzhen’s own words, he would not have been able to believe it.

Perhaps seeing Zhou Yu’s astonishment,

Bai Yuzhen shook her head and smiled.

“Although I praised him for being outstanding, that praise was tinged with the eyes of a lover seeing perfection.

He wasn’t so amazing as to drive every girl mad with love.”

“However, I have had some interactions with that girl from the Yan Family.”

“I don’t know why, but I always felt that the Yan girl was quite strange.

The way she looked at Wanhao was different.

This kind of look, only I could feel it.”

“I always felt that she was not after Wanhao the person, but at that time, other than himself, Wanhao had nothing else to offer.

Even the Lin Group’s assets were just several tens of millions, nothing compared to now.”

“Even the current Lin Group, in the eyes of the Yan Family, is insignificant as ants.”

“So, I am also unclear about what she was thinking.”

Zhou Yu believed that Bai Yuzhen would not deceive him.

But after hearing all this, Zhou Yu was even more puzzled.

What was all this about?

Unfortunately, Bai Yuzhen could not give him any answers, and he would have to look for other ways to find out.

A night passed without word, and early the next day, Zhou Yu went straight to Bencao Tang.

He had promised Mr.

Sun that he would treat a VIP from the Capital City today.
