As the biggest backer and sole boss of Bai Xiaoya, the gifts from Jiang Xu had to outshine those from everyone else at the party.
It was also meant to send a signal to the outside world.
Just what was the extent of the relationship between the two families.
âMr. Jiang from Magic Cityâs Nuomi Group presents a large yacht, a private jet, and eight hundred and eighty-eight jin of Gold.â
The scene immediately erupted into a buzz.
Wow, the gifts he offered were incredibly valuable.
A large yacht, at least starting from five hundred million.
A private jet, also starting from three hundred million.
Gold wasnât cheap either, and all together, it was almost ten billion.
Bai Xiaoya was shocked too.
She hadnât expected Jiang Xu to send so many, such valuable gifts.
What was even more surprising to her was that Jiang Xiaoyan had also sent stocks worth five billion.
âBoo hoo hoo, Sister Xiao Yan, youâre so kind,â Bai Xiaoya said with âtearful eyesâ as she looked at her: âSo generous, this little woman has nothing to offer in return, how about attending to you tonight in bed?â
âGood,â Jiang Xiaoyan said, grinning mischievously: âLet me prepare some props.â
Bai Xiaoya went pale: âNo, forget it, Iâm not going.â
Donât ruin yourself.
An Nuonuo blushed a deep red to the side.
Jiang Xu whispered to An Nuonuo, âStay away from these two in the future, donât let them corrupt you.â
Jiang Xiaoyan came over: âWhat are you talking about?â
Jiang Xu shook his head and took An Nuonuoâs hand: âNothing, letâs go inside.â
They entered the Bai Familyâs residence.
The place was lit up and decorated as if for New Yearâs.
All the guests that came today were of comparable power to the Bai Family.
Upon seeing Jiang Xu, many came up to initiate conversation.
Jiang Xiaoyan didnât like such an atmosphere and pulled An Nuonuo to the backyard.
âSister Xiao Yan, isnât Zhou coming back with you?â
âNope,â Jiang Xiaoyan hummed lightly: âSheâs now transformed into a super worker.
Day and night, if sheâs not filming, sheâs involved in various investments.
She said she wonât come back even for New Yearâs, still has to continue filming.â
âOhâ¦â An Nuonuo pursed her lips, not saying anything further.
Her intuition told her Zhou Qingyueâs hard work was probably related to her, to Jiang Xu.
The banquet started promptly at six-thirty in the evening.
Jiang Xu, An Nuonuo, and Jiang Xiaoyan naturally took the main seats.
Bai Xiaoya said a whole bunch of words of thanks.
âCongratulations to Patriarch Bai.â
Just as Bai Xiaoya was about to invite everyone to start eating, a group of people walked in.
The one leading was a man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties.
He had a gentle demeanor, but carried an aura of subtle authority.
Everyone present recognized him.
Putting down her glass, Bai Xiaoya walked over: âChairman Lan Liang, what brings you here?â
He was the previous chairman of a certain business association, with considerable clout.
There were many present who were older than him, yet none had his seniority.
Everyone also stood up to greet him.
âHehe, I apologize, ladies and gentlemen, for interrupting your meal,â Lan Liang said with a chuckle: âWe were just passing by and heard that Patriarch Bai was hosting a banquet.
Then, Miss Yikali here wanted to come and take a look, sorry for the disturbance.â
âHello, my name is Yikali.â
A girl who looked about eighteen or nineteen, with impressive braids and attractive features, stepped out from behind Lan Liang.
Her attire showed distinctive exotic charm, clearly not a local.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lan Liang introduced: âThis is the little princess from Dahe Country, visiting here with her father.
She came to see and enjoy a few of our major cities, and by the way, if there are any good investment opportunities, she might consider investing too.â
Everyone at the scene was suddenly energized.
The little princess of Dahe Country, her status was incredibly high.
Though not large in area, Dahe Country was rich with oil everywhere.
Even the common people there were dripping with wealth.
With money, they naturally went all over the world to buy, buy, buy, making all kinds of investments.
Any country treated them with great enthusiasm.
Some of the young people present were also becoming more animated.
It was rumored that Yikali was the youngest daughter and also the most favored.
It seemed that she didnât have a boyfriend yet.
If someone could pursue her, wouldnât that mean hitting the jackpot?
âHello,â Yikali greeted in fluent Mandarin, then asked, âMay I join you for dinner?â
Bai Xiaoya said with a smile, âOf course, it would be our honor.â
âMiss Yikali, why donât you sit with me?â a young man took the initiative to invite her.
Seeing this, other young men who were interested in Yikali also started speaking up.
âMiss Yikali, I can introduce you to the various local customs and cultures.â
âBeautiful Miss Yikali, allow me to serve you.â
â¦
This scene was just like a marketplace, where vendors clamored to attract customers.
Yikali seemed to be having a hard time deciding, her lively eyes scanning around.
Finally, she pointed at Jiang Xu, âMay I sit with him?â
Jiang Xu was taken aback.
Everyone else immediately fell silent.
The looks they gave Jiang Xu were tinged with hostility and envy.
Damn, why did all the good-looking girls favor him?
In reality, these people were overthinking it.
Mainly because Jiang Xu was the only one among them who hadnât spoken up.
It made him seem a bit extraordinary.
It was like when everyone is wearing black, and one person wears white; naturally, they stand out.
âOkay, Iâm honored to be of service to Miss Yikali,â Jiang Xu recovered from his surprise and responded.
Making connections with someone from Dahe Country would be beneficial for his future expansion into the international market.
Lan Liang had left.
And that left Yikali and her accompanying security detail.
âMiss Yikali, please take a seat.â
âThank you, whatâs your name? You look very handsome,â she said.
Jiang Xu didnât let it go to his head, knowing it was just a polite remark.
Yikali behaved very innocently, one moment asking about this, the next moment looking at that.
Jiang Xu was knowledgeable and responsive, carrying himself with a poised attitude.
He won Yikaliâs good impression.
âHey,â Jiang Xiaoyan gently nudged An Nuonuo and whispered, âAre you not upset?â
âHuh?â An Nuonuo blinked, âWhy should I be upset?â
Jiang Xiaoyan said, âJust look at your fiancé, chatting away with another girl, ignoring you.
And that girl has a high status, is wealthy, and even younger than you.
Arenât you afraid that Jiang Xu might fall for her or that sheâll take fancy to him?â
An Nuonuo said with a smile, âSister Xiao Yan, you are stirring up trouble.â
She wasnât upset; in fact, she found Jiang Xiaoyan rather straightforward.
And she had complete trust in Jiang Xu.
âPfft, didnât work though,â Jiang Xiaoyan pouted, âBoring, I might as well eat.â
An Nuonuo picked up some greens with the serving chopsticks for Jiang Xiaoyan, âSister Xiao Yan, you should eat more veggies, keep those intestines moving.â
Jiang Xiaoyan scratched her head, somewhat annoyed, âAn Nuonuo, donât be so nice to me; how will I have the heart to compete with you for a man in the future?â
