Chapter 877: The Wedding Arrives (1)

The Bai family was important and powerful. They were too poor in the past, so of course they needed money.
They were so important now that they urgently needed a large sum of money to get out of their desperate poverty. Which was why they had invested so much money this time.
But now, they had failed utterly.
Bai Fei said, “There’s also Mo Beihan. He’s in trouble too. I heard that he lost more than three hundred thousand yuan and Old Master Mo has washed his hands of him.”
Three hundred thousand yuan sounded like a large sum, but the Bai family had lost even more.
Mo Beihan had invested personally, but the Bai family had used the entire family’s resources, and their losses were on a different scale.
Old Master Bai closed his eyes. “Even that useless Mo Yunhao has earned a fortune, and he’s squandering it. How could we make such a major blunder?”
Even Bai Fei could not understand it, much less Old Master Bai.
They were proud of their intelligence, but in the end, they could not even compare to Mo Yunhao. This was a huge blow to them.
“Grandfather, if we want to preserve the Bai family’s standing and reputation, we must hush this matter up. If we can’t scrape up the money, we will have broken our promise. Even if we want to start again, no one will be willing to partner with us in the future. Then we will only make small profits and have small sidelines based on what is left of our influence. The other major families in the capital will leave us in the dust.”
That was exactly what Old Master Bai and Bai Fei feared.
It was obvious by now that this was a major chance for families to change their fortunes. The family that made the right move would grow in power in the future. The family that failed would fall behind.
The Bai family intended to use this opportunity to soar, but they crashed.
So they must definitely solve this problem.
Old Master Bai closed his eyes briefly. “Which means that I must agree to Youran and Mo Yunhao’s marriage?”
Bai Fei lowered his head. “At the moment, only Mo Yunhao can save us.”
Many of the major families in the capital had profited from business recently, but not as great as the Mo family.
Of course the Bai family’s only granddaughter could not be used for a marriage alliance just for the sake of a little money. Family background was more important.
Mo Yunhao was the Mo family’s grandson. Although he was not the oldest grandson, he was still Jiang Hongying and Mo Huai’s son. He had grown up in the Mo family, and his status was more legitimate than that of Mo Beihan.
Besides, now that Mo Beihan had fallen on hard times, Old Master Mo had abandoned him. Compared to Mo Yunhao, it would probably be hard for Mo Beihan to recover.
If the Bai family’s granddaughter married the future successor of the Mo family, it would be a marriage between equals.
Old Master Bai nodded and agreed to the marriage.
“Ask someone to summon Youran.”
“All right!”
Bai Fei left to send a message to Bai Youran to come to the study.
Bai Youran’s position in the Bai family had risen lately. The entire family flattered her because she was so rich. Everyone knew that Mo Yunhao had made a fortune and cherished her. He kept buying her nice things as if they were free.
As long as they were on good terms with Bai Youran and kept her happy, they might get something nice out of her.
Those clothes and shoes were very expensive!
When the servant came to call her, Bai Youran and Zheng Min were in her room, trying on clothes.
Bai Youran was on such good terms with Mo Yunhao lately that she also bought some clothes for her own mother. Mo Yunhao would naturally be generous towards his future mother-in-law. He also wanted to build good relationship with the Bai family members!
“Go to the study?”
Bai Youran was amazed. Zheng Min also looked startled!
