Chapter 249 7 Transmigration
The Bai family in the capital had a son-in-law who married into the family, making them the biggest laughing stock in their social circle.
It is said that the other party was a poor student sponsored by the Bai family since childhood, which is a common charitable donation method used by wealthy families.
Many wealthy families sponsor impoverished students and then select some outstanding ones to join their companies.
It attracts talent while ensuring their loyalty.
The Bai family in the capital has only two daughters as the new generation heirs. The eldest daughter, Bai Ningbing, is 28 years old this year, and the second daughter, Bai Ningshuang, is 21 years old this year.
Because the Bai family had no sons in the new generation, they arranged a son-in-law for their eldest daughter when she was twenty-two years old.
Rather than an arranged marriage, the Bai family prefers their daughter to marry a man who will live with them; otherwise, the man's assets will be swallowed up by the Bai family.
At this point, the Bai family began selecting from among the impoverished students they were sponsoring.
One of them happened to be named Wu Tao, who was also just 22 years old this year and had graduated from university.
Wu Tao was born in a remote mountain village. He lost both his parents at a young age and was later sent to an orphanage.
After seeing Wu Tao's academic performance, the Bai family decided to sponsor him.
Wu Tao lived up to expectations, starting to receive scholarships upon entering university, and after graduation, he went directly to Bai's company for an internship.
He also performed exceptionally well at work, and was quickly promoted from intern to department head, manager, and eventually vice president.
Twenty-two-year-old Wu Tao becomes the husband of Bai Ningbing, the eldest daughter of the Bai family.
The year after their marriage, Bai Ningbing gave birth to a son for Wu Tao.
Now, Bai Ningbing and Wu Tao have been married for six years, and their son Bai Xiaoyi is five years old.
Actually, Bai Ningbing and Wu Tao enjoyed a sweet and loving married life for several years after Bai Ningbing married Wu Tao.
Everything changed three years ago when Bai Ningbing's childhood sweetheart, He Qiang, returned from abroad.
He Qiang is the second young master of the He family in the capital. Although he is called the second young master, his status in the family is not even as high as that of a servant.
He Qiang's mother was married to the He family head later. After the He family head's first wife died in a car accident, He Qiang's mother married into the He family.
He Cheng, the son born to the first wife, was the apple of the eye of the He family patriarch. The patriarch felt sorry for his eldest grandson who had lost his mother at a young age, so he personally raised and nurtured him.
He Cheng was ten years older than He Qiang. By the time He Qiang turned eighteen, He Cheng had already taken over the reins of the He family business.
At that time, He Cheng's father had already stepped down from his post and gone abroad to live a retired life.
With He Qiang staying at home, his treatment plummeted, and he was often bullied by the servants and housekeeper.
After all, the eldest young master has disliked He Qiang since childhood, and now that he holds absolute power, he has become even more aggressive in targeting He Qiang.
The butler and servants knew all too well how to choose sides. Compared to the eldest young master, the second young master had nothing, so they definitely wouldn't stand by He Qiang's side.
Not only will they not side with He Qiang, but they will also try to curry favor with He Cheng by targeting He Qiang.
Later, He Qiang worked hard to get into university and obtained an exchange student status, which allowed him to go abroad to study and temporarily escape his family's targeting.
He Qiang and Bai Ningbing grew up together since they were little, and their families were neighbors. They had been playing together since they were a few years old.
Bai Ningbing saw He Qiang being bullied and secretly provided him with a lot of help.
Bai Ningbing was also involved in enabling He Qiang to become an exchange student and study abroad.
Although neither of them confessed their feelings, they had already developed feelings for the other person.
However, the Bai family would definitely not agree to the marriage between Bai Ningbing and He Qiang.
The He family is no ordinary family. Even though He Qiang is not valued by the He family, they dare not gamble on whether He Qiang will take over the Bai family's business for the sake of the He family in the future.
Bai Ningbing was aware of this, which is why she had been suppressing her feelings.
He Qiang did want to have something happen between him and Bai Ningbing, but his inferiority complex prevented him from confessing his feelings.
The two were separated for several years due to various circumstances, until He Qiang graduated from university abroad and earned his first pot of gold through his own efforts.
He Qiang is quite capable; he earned over ten million yuan with his first pot of gold.
At this point, He Qiang believed he could be on equal footing with his elder brother He Cheng, and at least he wouldn't have to worry about the other party continuing to suppress him, so He Qiang chose to return to China.
Upon returning to China, He Qiang quickly contacted Bai Ningbing and, through her connections, established a branch company in the country.
With Bai Ningbing's help in introducing him to the company and the initial investment of 20 million yuan she provided, He Qiang's company quickly got on track.
Now, three years later, He Qiang's branch has become a large company with a market value of several hundred million.
Meanwhile, He Qiang and Bai Ningbing gradually developed into an enviable couple in the entertainment circle over the past three years.
Even though Bai Ningbing was already married and had children.
Even though Bai Ningbing was already married and had children.
It's perfectly normal for wealthy families to have mistresses outside of marriage. Besides, compared to He Qiang, a newly emerging business tycoon, Wu Tao, the son-in-law of the Bai family, is naturally looked down upon.
At first, Bai Ningbing and He Qiang were a little secretive and didn't let everyone know.
Later, the two seemed to relax and openly attended various events together.
Bai Ningbing, who initially knew to go home, started going days without returning.
Recently, Wu Tao hasn't seen Bai Ningbing for almost three months.
Wu Tao saw Bai Ningbing and He Qiang again at a business dinner. However, Bai Ningbing's lower abdomen was already slightly protruding, which was obviously a sign that she was pregnant.
Bai Ningbing was taken aback when she encountered Wu Tao, but then she regained her composure.
He Qiang also saw Wu Tao at this moment, but he did not restrain himself at all. Instead, he provocatively put his arm around Bai Ningbing, looking like a victor.
All the VIPs present knew about the relationship between Wu Tao and the other two, and everyone wore expressions of anticipation, ready to see if Wu Tao, the son-in-law, would go crazy.
They were all disappointed; Wu Tao maintained a smile and chatted with his business partners throughout.
Wu Tao did nothing until the banquet ended.
In fact, Bai Ningbing had been secretly observing Wu Tao throughout the entire banquet.
She had considered that the other party might go crazy and question her, or even hit her. In this industry, everyone will encounter each other sooner or later.
Bai Ningbing knew that Wu Tao couldn't leave the Bai family, even though he was now the vice president of Bai's Enterprise.
But all of this is inseparable from his status as the son-in-law of the Bai family. Otherwise, how could a 28-year-old become the vice president of a listed company with a market value of tens of billions?
Bai Ningbing dared to appear openly with He Qiang in front of others, which already gave her a good idea of Wu Tao's various reactions.
However, Wu Tao acted too normally tonight, as if Bai Ningbing was not his legal wife.
Even He Qiang, who had initially been somewhat smug, felt extremely uncomfortable. The other party's indifferent attitude made him feel like the clown who was jumping around.
The other person should have been furious and thoughtless, but he remained remarkably calm.
