Ace of the Dragon Division - Chapter 259
Chapter 259: Little Plan of the Third Prince
The Third Prince, Will, also looked up and saw Xu Cheng who was just walking in from the entrance. When the two’s eyes met, he smiled. “I thought Asians were all short, looks like you grew taller.”
The third prince was also about 1.9 meters, so their eyes were parallel when they stood together.
Xu Cheng also laughed. “Funny how you never managed to beat me in a fight when I was shorter than you. Now that I’m taller, I guess you should be more careful.”
Back in high school, Will grew a bit faster than Xu Cheng and was a bit taller.
“You are still the same, always thinking about fighting. If you want to fight, then let’s pick another day. Oh right, I heard a rumor saying that Nicole went to Huaxia with you? I also heard from Tevez that apparently your relationship with her is more complicated now.”
Xu Cheng: “We got married in Huaxia.”
“Oh really?” A complicated looked flashed past Will’s eyes. He calmly said, “She’s the rose of Great Britain, how could she marry you? Xu, let me warn you, don’t get involved in anything with Nicole. Since you are the foster child of Nicole’s family, as her friend, I don’t want to hurt you.”
Then, with the guard opening the door for him, Will got into his limo.
Xu Cheng looked at Will before the door could close and said, “Then let me warn you too. If you are still thinking about my wife, stop while you can!”
Will impatiently replied in a deep voice, “I’m speaking to you as the third prince of the British Empire, and you will treat it as an order, not a suggestion. Do you understand me? You are already an adult, and disrespecting me will be going against the law. It’s best if you behave.”
Then, the guard closed the door, and Will especially stuck his head out of the window and said to Lin Chuxue, “Remember, I will come and pick you up tomorrow. Let’s have a meal together and have a good chat.”
Then, the limo slowly drove out of the gate.
Standing on the lawn, Xu Cheng looked at Lin Chuxue and asked, “What’s this guy doing here?”
“It’s the Queen’s birthday banquet in two days, and he came to invite us,” Lin Chuxue said. Then, she turned to Xu Cheng and asked, “Where did you go?”
Xu Cheng: “Went to find an old friend to hang out.”
Lin Chuxue chuckled. “You still have friends here? If that guy’s still willing to be your friend at this kind of critical period, then he’s definitely a true friend.”
Xu Cheng shrugged. “Guess I can’t lie to you. Indeed no one wanted to hang out with me.”
Lin Chuxue smiled and she battered her eyes. “Isn’t there one right here?”
Then, she walked down the stairs to be side by side with Xu Cheng as the two began taking a walk on the grass. She pointed at the gate and said to Xu Cheng, “Do you still remember? Dad was holding your hand when you first appeared at the gate, and he told me to call you big brother.”
Xu Cheng nodded. He thought back to the bits and pieces of his past and exclaimed, “Yeah, back then, Lei snorted and didn’t want to call me that. Only you were good and called me big brother.”
Lin Chuxue chuckled. “Tell me the truth then, for how many years have you had a crush on your little sister?”
Xu Cheng said in all seriousness, “Probably since I was 10, when I started to vaguely understand these feelings.”
Lin Chuxue pretended to give a look of disdain, “Alright, so you are this kind of brother.”
Xu Cheng jokingly said, “In fact, what made my motivation more intense is the rebellion from Little Lei. That brat refused to obey me from a young age, so in order to get him to call me Big Brother, I had no choice but to become his brother-in-law.”
Lin Chuxue couldn’t help but chuckle. She looked up at the sky. Xu Cheng also looked up along her eyes. Due to the manor being far from the city, the night sky was quite clear and they could see all the stars above them.
At this moment, Lin Chuxue suddenly said, “Then let’s be siblings for a lifetime, okay?”
Xu Cheng’s eyes drooped slightly and a hint of sadness flashed past his eyes. He whispered, “Feel you heart and tell me, is that really what you want?”
Lin Chuxue trembled, and she bitterly smiled. “I know that your real estate and the money you have with Yaoyao comes to about 2 billion yuan, and plus the money I have and the casino shares from Tevez you gave me which comes to 1 billion yuan, it’s a total of 3 billion, but that’s only 400 million when converted to euros. It’s not enough to make up for the 3-billion-euro hole at all.”
Xu Cheng: “Why didn’t you tell me earlier when something this big happened in the family? Maybe I could have found more ways.”
Lin Chuxue bitterly smiled. “I know, you won more than 10 billion yuan of money at the underground bank, but that’s all gone as well when you seized the underground money house. If I told you earlier, would you have been lenient on those criminals for the money? You are not that type of person, and if you did, I would despise you as well. Even with the 10 billion of black money, it would only be 900 million euros, completely not enough as well.”
Xu Cheng looked at Lin Chuxue’s beautiful face under the bright moonlight and said, “Give me some time, trust me.”
Lin Chuxue didn’t reply. After quietly looking at the moon for a while, she peacefully smiled. “I will go back to sleep now.”
Seeing that she was still troubled by her thoughts, Xu Cheng waited for a bit and directly went up the second floor and kicked open Lin Lei’s room. Inside, Lin Lei was dumbfounded when he saw him and his grand entrance.
Xu Cheng asked in a quiet voice, “Your sister seems to have something on her mind tonight. After Will came over and gave you guys the invite, what else did he say?”
Lin Lei leaned against his bed, turned around, and looked out of the window. “Will’s status isn’t very important in the royal family, so in comparison to the heirs of the five big capitalist groups, he might not be able to outcompete them. So, he plans to propose to my sis at the Queen’s birthday banquet in two days. That way, even if the heirs despise him, they wouldn’t dare to ruin the mood on the Queen’s birthday by objecting to the proposal. The Queen would be happy and may set them up as long as my sister nods. Will’s position is rather awkward in the royal family, and him wanting to marry my sis also has something to do with our family company. He wants to use it as his capital backing, and although it’s a big deal and he couldn’t convince my parents, he easily convinced my grandpa and those other relatives in the company. After all, those people are all typical capitalists, and their interests are involved.”
Two days!
The time was too tight!
Not only did he need to complete the mission but also get 3 billion before that birthday, Xu Cheng could feel his head getting bigger.
Even after he finished the mission, it wouldn’t be as easy as using just one day to find buyers. If the 3 billion euro couldn’t hit his bank before the banquet, it would be difficult for Lin Chuxue to reject when Will proposes.
“My sis knows that you might get angry and go cause chaos at the banquet. That’s the royal palace, not our highschool, and she said when you get mad, you are willing to do anything so she didn’t allow anyone in the family to tell you this. But I couldn’t help it. Brother-in-Law, should we just kidnap Will in advance?”
“Wait for my call tonight.” Xu Cheng dropped those words as he quickly left the manor.
There was no time, he had to race against the clock and execute the mission tonight!
