In Priyanka's eyes, Bai Ye was a very likable guy who would definitely win Elizabeth's favor.
For the sake of her future career, selling her little man a little wouldn't be a big problem, right?
Without giving Elizabeth a chance to refuse, Priyanka took out her phone and called Bai Ye.
After Priyanka explained her purpose, Bai Ye stayed in Bengbu.
You see, Gale was his close friend, but Priyanka was also his close friend, so his appearance in front of these two was a very dangerous thing.
Therefore, even though Bai Ye coveted Elizabeth's voluptuous beauty, he did not rush to get to know her. Instead, he planned to wait until he had sent Aunt May and Parker back to New York before seeking an opportunity to win her over.
Now, Park Ya-ka is calling him directly.
So the question is, to go or not to go? That's a question worth considering!
"Let's go!"
Bai Ye sighed.
If Priyanka gets furious after he stood her up and does something irrational, then he's really doomed.
If he runs there himself, there might still be room for maneuver.
After all, he's a professional when it comes to dealing with women!
Isn't it just Priyanka, Gale, and Elizabeth?
Get her!
Led by the maid, Bai Ye strode confidently into the hall where Priyanka and Elizabeth were.
Elizabeth's eyes lit up the moment she saw Bai Ye.
In the soft, misty light, the blue boy's eyes were bright, clear as water, and sparkling with sincerity.
He had striking, straight eyebrows, exuding confidence, and a composed smile on his face.
The clothes were simple yet elegant, with a touch of unspeakable sexiness, like a prince who had just casually tossed away his evening gown after attending a lavish banquet.
It reminds one of Du Fu's poem: "Zongzhi, a handsome and dashing young man, raises his cup and gazes at the blue sky with disdain, as radiant as a jade tree standing before the wind."
"It makes you want to swallow him whole!"
Elizabeth's beautiful eyes sparkled.
Chapter 172 Madam, you don't want your husband to lose this deal, do you?
When Gale saw White Night, his eyes widened instantly.
She never expected to see Bai Ye again in this place.
But the next moment.
Gail sensed something was wrong.
Why is Bai Ye a friend of this woman named Priyanka?
Could there be some shameless shady dealing involved?
However, she is currently Elizabeth's personal bodyguard, and it's not convenient for her to abandon her host and talk to Bai Ye to make things clear for the time being, so she can only endure it for now.
Priyanka stood up and introduced:
“Elizabeth, he is my friend, his name is White Night.”
"Bai Ye, this is Mrs. Elizabeth, my business partner. You are both of Chinese descent, so perhaps you could get to know each other. After all, having more friends means having more options!"
Bai Ye, with her exceptionally elegant demeanor, stepped forward and nodded gently, saying:
"Mrs. Elizabeth, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
"What a handsome young man, Fengshen Junmao!"
Elizabeth looked at Bai Ye with great interest and said:
"You're Chinese too?"
"Yes, he's from Hong Kong Island, and he immigrated to the United States not long ago."
Bai Ye laughed:
"However, I have traveled back to China many times. The development there is getting faster and faster, and the potential for future appreciation is quite large. It is a good place to invest."
“Really?” Elizabeth said, “Perhaps when I have time, I will go back to China to investigate and see if there are any places worth investing in.”
As Bai Ye took his seat, the three of them stood in a triangular formation.
Gale stood behind Elizabeth, expressionless, though his occasional glances carried a slightly cold glint.
Bai Ye remained unmoved, maintaining a calm demeanor.
His immediate goal was to get to know Lady Elizabeth, and as for Gale, that would have to wait until later!
Bai Ye asked, "I heard that Madam is of Chinese descent from Southeast Asia?"
“That’s right.” Elizabeth nodded and said, “I’d say I’m of Thai-Chinese descent.”
Bai Ye suddenly realized that the Thai-Chinese gangs were indeed quite powerful. Their influence was deeply entrenched throughout Thailand, not only spreading throughout the country but also connecting with the Sanhe Society from Guangdong and Guangxi, specializing in laundry detergent, smuggling, and casino operations.
“My grandfather went to Thailand alone in the 1940s and started from scratch. Through opening casinos, investing in real estate, hotels, entertainment venues and other industries, he gradually built up a successful business…”
Elizabeth slowly told Bai Ye about her family background.
It wasn't a big secret, but she certainly wouldn't tell outsiders casually. It was because Bai Ye had won her favor!
Bai Ye also knew that Elizabeth must have embellished her grandfather's path to wealth to some extent. The initial accumulation of capital was always bloody, especially since it started with gangsters. Such people cannot stand firm unless they are ruthless.
After listening to Elizabeth's words, Bai Ye said while cutting a piece of steak:
"I've heard that there's a Thai gangster boss named Mr. Yan, a godfather-like figure in the Thai-Chinese underworld..."
"There is indeed such a person. Most of the jewelry stores, gold shops, and even supermarkets in Chinatown are now his businesses. He has connections with the military and is considered the number one figure in the Thai Chinese mafia."
Elizabeth's face showed a hint of disdain as she said:
"But don't be fooled by his current prestige. The way he got to where he is today is utterly despicable! He started by swindling and cheating his own Chinese compatriots to accumulate his first pot of gold before he grew into a powerful figure. Only now does he put on a saintly face."
“My grandfather hated this person very much. He considered himself a bad person, but even the worst person would never harm their own people. This Mr. Yan did the opposite, and yet he gradually became very successful. Perhaps this is what they mean by ‘good people don’t live long, but evil people live a long life’!”
Bai Ye listened with great interest as Elizabeth recounted stories from the past.
Frankly, expecting gangsters to help ordinary people uphold justice is nonsense. However, if they can maintain a bottom line of not harming their own Chinese community, Elizabeth's grandfather does have some merit.
If this Mr. Yan is truly a person without any moral compass, as Elizabeth claims, then perhaps one day justice will descend from the heavens and a bolt of lightning will strike him dead?
Priyanka didn't seem to mind Bai Ye's overbearing behavior, letting the two of them chat happily while forgetting about herself.
She has reached an agreement with Elizabeth today, and all she needs to do now is keep Elizabeth happy, and everything will be fine.
Elizabeth and her husband Braga are now much stronger than her, so Priyanka naturally has the mentality of a ruthless leader. She can bend and stretch, and making money is nothing to be ashamed of!
After Bai Ye and Elizabeth finished talking about her family's rise to wealth, Bai Ye also talked about the situation in China.
It was clear that Elizabeth's grandfather's education of them was indeed rooted in China. Elizabeth listened with great interest as Bai Ye talked about China today.
Priyanka occasionally chimed in, and for a while, both host and guest enjoyed themselves.
"Mrs. Elizabeth, you are of Thai-Chinese descent. I heard that your husband, Braga, is of Mexican descent. How did you two get together?"
Bai Ye then shifted the focus to Elizabeth's husband.
Yes, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory. Let's test the waters with Elizabeth first, so it will be easier to manipulate her later!
“It was an introduction from the elders in the family,” Elizabeth said calmly when she mentioned Braga. “Mainly because he was a business partner in the family, we got to know each other over time, and seeing that his business was growing bigger and bigger, we thought he had potential, so we were gradually arranged to work together.”
"Then you must be kindred spirits," Bai Ye laughed. "Mr. Braga is the king of the Los Angeles underworld. You two, with the husband working outside and the wife managing the household, are quite a harmonious couple!"
"Ah!"
A faint, cold smile appeared on Elizabeth's lips:
"A harmonious marriage? If I hadn't discovered he had an illegitimate child... I'd rather not!"
"illegitimate child?"
Bai Ye and Priyanka were stunned, never expecting to hear such a bombshell from Elizabeth.
"No way, he actually did something so outrageous?"
Bai Yecha said in a tea-like tone:
"Could there be some misunderstanding?"
Of course, upon hearing this, Bai Ye knew in his heart that things were settled.
Now that Braga has already fathered an illegitimate child, Elizabeth is unlikely to remain chaste for him, making it much easier for him to win her over.
“It’s absolutely not a misunderstanding,” Elizabeth said. “I did the paternity test myself, how could it be wrong?”
Bai Ye said indignantly:
"Then that's his mistake. As a man, loyalty to one's family and wife is the most basic principle, okay? I have the utmost contempt for those who rise from humble beginnings, support each other to build a great career, and then abandon their wives and children because they have money and power!"
Gail glared at Bai Ye in the shadows a few times. "Do you think you're something special?"
Priyanka said:
"In this world, there isn't a single good man! My husband is pretty much the same, always messing around outside. If he hadn't lost his life this time, I probably wouldn't have been able to stand it and would have castrated him!"
“Yes!” Elizabeth agreed, “Men are all the same!”
These two women, having reached a consensus due to their family misfortunes, seemed to sympathize with each other.
Bai Ye disagreed, and said earnestly:
"There are still good men in this world, you're just unlucky to have met a jerk!"
"For example, if I were married, I would absolutely never cheat on my family. Instead, I would be devoted to them wholeheartedly!"
"Otherwise, how will their children face their father who committed such a grave mistake when they grow up?"
Of course, Bai Ye has no intention of getting married in this lifetime, so there is no such thing as marital infidelity.
Priyanka glanced at Bai Ye and said:
"What a coincidence, Reyes said the same thing to me before we got married... But can you trust what a man says?"
Elizabeth said, "Bragga said something similar, but things are still the same as before. I understand now, men's words are just deceitful!"
