Rebirth: I Am Not the Movie Queen This Time-Chapter 59: No Formalities

Facing Bai Zhixi, Xiao Bai immediately stopped fooling around and said earnestly, "I heard Chuchu is on vacation, I came to hang out with Chuchu."

Bai Zhixi: "..."

She looked at the twenty-five or twenty-six-year-old Xiao Bai from the city, and then at her own sixteen-year-old daughter dressed like the village belle.

Could these two really play together? She couldn’t picture it.

"Hehe, Xiao Bai really knows how to joke." Bai Zhixi could only force a laugh.

Little did she know, Xiao Bai said seriously, "I really came to find Chuchu. Some time ago, Chuchu gave me some advice for that shop of mine, and we just finished remodeling it these past few days. I’d like her to take a look."

Bai Zhixi hadn’t expected her daughter to actually have given Xiao Bai advice, and didn’t know if it was just messing around. For a moment, she didn’t know how to respond; she couldn’t say her daughter wasn’t up to it, as she thought Chuchu was pretty capable and didn’t want to undermine her.

To boldly go along with it seemed like showing off, and she also didn’t know if Chuchu’s advice was reliable, so she looked at her daughter.

Wan Chu’er, catching the distress signal from her mom, held back her laughter, thinking to herself that this Xiao Bai was something else, managing to leave the usually amiable Bai Zhixi speechless.

"Sure, let’s go then." Wan Chu’er agreed briskly, ready to leave immediately.

Now it was Xiao Bai who was lost for words. He pointed at Wan Chu’er’s clothes, incredulously saying, "You’re going out dressed like that?"

If people saw a village girl entering his ’Heavenly World’, how could he face his customers in the future?

Wan Chu’er shrugged her shoulders leisurely and said playfully, "How, could, it, be."

Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but give Wan Chu’er a playful slap, scolding, "Naughty!"

Wan Chu’er: "..."

She felt like thunder was rumbling in her head, turning to look at Bai Zhixi.

Bai Zhixi was holding back laughter, having moved things back into the house.

Eventually, Wan Chu’er changed into ordinary clothes and, amid Xiao Bai’s grumbling, the two headed to Heavenly World.

It was now noon, and Heavenly World was closed, the main door firmly shut.

Wan Chu’er looked around; in front of the nightclub, there were three or four empty tables laid out, each paired with four inviting rattan chairs.

Xiao Bai, smiling, watched Wan Chu’er’s reaction and said, "These tables and chairs were transported here from Beijing. Next spring, we’ll open during the day as well."

Inside the nightclub, Wan Chu’er noticed a new, long bar that wasn’t there before, filled with various kinds of alcohol and topped with beautiful transparent glasses.

Other than that, the changes weren’t significant.

Xiao Bai said mysteriously, "There’s been a big change upstairs as well."

Wan Chu’er blinked, playing along, "What change?"

In her mind, though: It must be the karaoke rooms she suggested in her proposal.

"Hehe, go up and see for yourself." Xiao Bai, indeed played coy, almost making Wan Chu’er burst out laughing.

Holding back her laughter, Wan Chu’er followed an excited Xiao Bai upstairs, finding him even more adorable.

"Thump thump thump thump... thump—please look." Xiao Bai dramatically opened a door on the second floor.

Wan Chu’er looked, and there was a karaoke room, quite nicely decorated, luxuriously so for the 1990s.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad." She didn’t skimp on the praise.

Xiao Bai immediately perked up upon hearing that, saying, "This is definitely a unique creation by Wutong. After experiencing all the high-class entertainment venues in Beijing and Shanghai, I designed it myself."

"Considering this was your idea to propose to Brother, you can come and sing anytime in the future. Bro won’t charge you, just sing however you like."

Wan Chu’er was touched by Xiao Bai’s generosity towards her, although she might not always have time to come, she still thanked him: "Thanks, Second Brother."

"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. We’re all family here."

Wan Chu’er declined Xiao Bai’s immediate invitation to belt out a song, and the two went down to the lobby on the first floor.

"Second Brother, did you hire a bartender?" Wan Chu’er casually asked.

Xiao Bai paused, looking a bit embarrassed as he replied, "Couldn’t hire one. As soon as they heard it was for Wutong, no amount of money could persuade them. It was too expensive, I didn’t think it was worth it, so I decided to train a couple of bartenders myself. It’s just mixing a few types of liquor, simple, they’ll get the hang of it quickly."

Wan Chu’er: "...Find a few well-spoken ones to train, mainly to keep the drinking customers entertained and make them drink a few more without realizing it."

"Heh heh, I know that, don’t worry." Xiao Bai felt he and his cousin were on the same wavelength and couldn’t help but chuckle.

It seems Xiao Bai’s trips to Beijing and Shanghai were not in vain. Wan Chu’er thought that transforming Heavenly World like this was already quite good for a small Northern county like Wutong.

Thinking that she and Bai Zhixi still had to go to Wanzhou the day after tomorrow and there were many things to do, she said goodbye to Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai said, "Don’t go, let’s have lunch at Big Brother’s place. It’s been so long since we’ve seen each other, I still have so much to tell you about my experiences in Beijing and Shanghai. Don’t you want to hear them?"

Wan Chu’er quite frankly replied, "No."

Xiao Bai: "..."

This cheeky kid, why is he so bad at making conversation? He couldn’t help but want to smack Wan Chu’er.

But thinking about how every time in the past he ended up being smacked back multiple times by Wan Chu’er, he just waved his hand in the air aimlessly.

He merely settled for Wan Chu’er’s arrangement, saying, "Alright, I’ll go over to your place then, I really want some pickled cucumbers. Does your family still have any?"

Seeing Xiao Bai’s sly smile, Wan Chu’er thought his real motive was actually the pickled cucumbers.

Wan Chu’er thought it over and ultimately did not refuse Xiao Bai’s request, so she brought him back to the small courtyard.

"Aunt Bai, here I am again! I’m having lunch at your place today. Aunt Bai, please make an extra bowl of rice. Chu’er said she’d treat me to pickled cucumbers."

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Xiao Bai bluntly spoke to Bai Zhixi.

Hearing his last sentence, Wan Chu’er could only admire his shamelessness in blatantly lying with such a thick face!

Bai Zhixi naturally smiled in welcome and added, "Today, auntie will make braised pork for you."

Wan Chu’er noticed that Bai Zhixi did not respond to Xiao Bai’s "Aunt Bai" but continued to use "Aunt," indicating that Bai Zhixi might not see the Bai Family as her own.

At the dining table, Xiao Bai was shocked to learn that Bai Zhixi and Wan Chu’er planned to go to Wanzhou to sell New Year goods, and he looked at Wan Chu’er up and down repeatedly.

Wan Chu’er, with a stern face, asked, "What?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, Wan Chu’er, you’re really impressive, doing trading business at such a young age, more manly than the men."

Wan Chu’er took a bite of her food and calmly said, "I’m a tomboy."

"Tomboy?" Xiao Bai slapped his thigh, "Right, that’s the perfect word for you."

Bai Zhixi just smiled.

After finishing the last bite of food, Xiao Bai said, "No way, I strongly request to join your team." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
