Bai Family Main Residence
Before New Year's, the Young Master of the Bai Family finally returned from his father-in-law's home.
That was a common occurrence, yet for the Bai Family, it was truly a cause for collective joy.
Unlike the Huo Family, where Huo Zongtao held tightly to the reins of power, and the heir, Huo Siyu, only visited once a year, the Bai Family's Young Master Bai Nian wielded considerable authority, while Bai Nian's father, who was technically the Family Head, had nearly become a figurehead.
In this information age, delivering messages and handling official business did not require one's physical presence, with telephone conferences, video meetings, and emails sufficing. Even for vital documents, an assistant could be sent to take care of them.
