Forced to Date a Big Shot - Chapter 553
Chapter 553: Something Has Happened!
Mrs. Qin, who was sitting opposite her husband, was instantly stunned. She forced herself to speak. “H-hello.”
Xue Xi’s boyfriend was the boss of the God of Fortune Group’s Qian Xin. This matter had been spread around Bin City, so Mrs. Qin and Mr. Qin naturally knew about it.
The Qin family was subservient to the Gao family in Bin City, and the Gao family was subservient to the God of Fortune Group. Hence, how could they dare to offend Xue Xi?
After Xue Xi finished introducing herself, she lowered her eyes and said calmly, “I think that if I want to do something, Grandpa Gao will give me face.”
Mrs. Qin said in a trembling voice, “Xue Xi, I-I just wanted to save my daughter!”
Xue Xi replied coldly, “I’m only interested in protecting the chatterbox.”
“…”
Xue Xi hung up the call and looked at Qin Shuang.
Her eyes were still watery, but she was suppressing her emotions. It seemed that she had been hurt by such a call.
Xue Xi did not know how to comfort her, so she clumsily reached out and gently patted her head again.
Qin Shuang could no longer hold it in and hugged Xue Xi as she cried.
As she cried, she said, “Wuwuwu, Sister Xi, why? I really want to ask them why. Qin Lu and I are clearly twins, so why are they treating me like this? Did I do something wrong?
“I’ve been thinking about this since I was young. I’ve been thinking about it for so many years, but I still can’t figure it out.”
Xue Xi was at a loss and could only stand there quietly. Suddenly, she saw a figure appear at the door. It was Cen Bai.
Xue Xi heaved a sigh of relief.
She patted Qin Shuang’s shoulder. When Qin Shuang looked up, she pointed at the door and Cen Bai walked in.
Xue Xi picked up her bag and said, “I’ll go look for Little Mute.”
She left the room.
She thought that Cen Bai would be more useful than her at this time.
After Xue Xi left, Qin Shuang hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand. Just as she was about to turn around, Cen Bai grabbed her arm. Immediately, Qin Shuang fell into a masculine embrace.
“It’s not your fault. It’s their fault.”
Qin Shuang’s struggling hand paused when she heard this. Her tears could no longer be held back.
She lowered her head and tugged at Cen Bai’s sleeve. “Hubby, from now on, I don’t have parents anymore.”
Cen Bai paused.
He reached out and gently placed his hand on Qin Shuang’s head. “It’s fine. You still have us.”
…
Xue Xi left the lounge and met Xia Yiyi again after a long separation. They chatted for a while, but Xia Yiyi still had to go back to practice her piano tonight. She agreed to wait for Zhou Zhou to come before coming to look for her. Only then did she leave reluctantly.
Xiao Fei was a boy and did not beat around the bush. After the recording, he only said, “Sister Xi, come visit the club when you’re free.”
Meanwhile, Ye Li was respectfully sent out by the production team.
The program had invested a lot in the live-stream for today’s episode. The coaches who came were all very professional, and Ye Li was already waiting by the side.
After sending Xia Yiyi off, Xue Xi returned and realized that Ye Li was chatting with her good friend, Lin Jing, on WeChat.
Lin Jing: “I’m so poor. How can I earn some money?”
Ye Li: “???”
When she saw Xue Xi walking up to her, she showed her the contents of the chat on her phone and said, “Is your godmother crazy? How can someone of her status not have money? Why is she crying about being poor?”
As she said this, she replied: “I have some private money with me. Do you want to borrow it?”
Lin Jing: “…That’s not necessary. You can give your daughter money to spend.”
Anyway, she was prepared to give it to her daughter-in-law.
Ye Li could not be bothered to type and sent a voice message. “She’s just a child. How much can she spend? Moreover, the richest person in our family is Xixi!”
Lin Jing: “…” So, how much do you not know about your daughter?
The chat came to an end and Ye Li turned to look at Xue Xi. “Are you going home with me or going back to school tonight?”
The production team had made an agreement with them to record for a week.
However, the participants who came today were all top students. In the next few days, there would be a small knowledge variety show that the production team had created. Actually, it did not matter if Ye Li would be around for it.
Xue Xi thought about it and said, “I’ll go back to school.”
There were classes tomorrow. If she went home, it would be a little far to go to school in the morning.
Ye Li had originally intended to bring her home, but seeing that her daughter had made up her mind, she did not insist. The two of them left the production set. When they walked out, Xue Xi was just about to hail a cab when she saw a black Land Rover stop in front of her. Xiang Huai alighted and looked at Ye Li. “Auntie, let me send the little kid back to school.”
As the saying goes, the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him.
Ye Li was now even more satisfied with Xiang Huai. Seeing that he was smiling so widely that his eyes could not be seen, she nodded and said, “Sure!”
…
On the way back to Huaxia University, Xue Xi sat in the passenger seat.
Ding!
Her phone rang. It was a bank message reminding her that the production team had transferred 200 million yuan to her bank card.
Xue Xi sighed. “Is the production team so efficient?”
She thought that the production team would delay the payment! This efficiency was too high!
Xiang Huai, who was driving, was wearing a black shirt. When he saw her shocked expression, a smile flashed across his dark brown eyes. “Little kid, are you short of money?”
Xue Xi: “…Mhm.”
Xiang Huai held the steering wheel and casually asked, “Why do you want 200 billion?”
Xue Xi: “To return to you.”
At this moment, the car had already arrived at the entrance of Huaxia University. Xiang Huai’s face darkened when he heard this. He stopped the car by the roadside and turned around. His tone was filled with anger. “What did you say?”
Xue Xi slowly replied, “You spent 200 billion on me. I don’t want your company to suffer any losses.”
Seeing how rational she was being, Xiang Huai fell silent. So, in the little kid’s heart, he was still an outsider?
Just as he was thinking this, he heard Xue Xi say slowly, “Even between lovers, we still have to maintain independence when it comes to money. But if we were husband and wife, then we won’t have to return the money. Because yours would be mine. That would be our joint asset.”
After Xue Xi said this in all seriousness, Xiang Huai raised an eyebrow. He suddenly could not hold back his anger and smiled. He said in a low voice, “Then, little kid, when do you intend to return my money?”
Xue Xi frowned and sighed. “It’s a little difficult.”
She had read the financial book. From one billion to two hundred billion, it was very difficult to amass it in a short period of time. Moreover, she might not be able to earn so much money in her life.
Seeing her worried look, Xiang Huai suddenly tilted his body and approached her. “I’ll teach you a quick way to earn money.”
Xue Xi asked innocently, “What?”
Xiang Huai: “Marry me.”
Xue Xi: “…”
Xiang Huai continued, “That is to say, little kid, you don’t have to worry. This 200 billion will be yours sooner or later.”
Perhaps the man’s voice was too alluring, but Xue Xi seemed to have figured something out from his earnest words. She was painstakingly trying to earn 200 billion yuan to return to Xiang Huai.
Once she’d married him though, this sum of money would become hers again, so why did she have to do this?
Xue Xi’s eyes lit up. “You’re right.”
Xiang Huai looked at her red lips and gulped. His voice became even softer. “Then, when are you going to marry me? I think 20…”
Twenty years old was the legal age for a girl to get married. Not bad!
Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, Xue Xi regained her composure. “Mhm, I think 28 years old is not a bad age.”
Xiang Huai was confused.
Xue Xi slowly said, “I’m 19 years old this year. I’ll be 22 years old when I graduate from university, 25 years old when I graduate as a graduate student, and 28 years old when I graduate as a PhD student. I can get married then!”
Xiang Huai: “!!”
There were still nine years before she turned 28!
He was a little anxious. “No, this…”
Xue Xi suddenly turned around and looked at him seriously. “Are you anxious for me to return your money?”
Xiang Huai: “…No hurry.”
“Mhm. Since you’re not in a hurry for me to return your money, we won’t be in a hurry to get married.” After saying this, Xue Xi unbuckled her seat belt and alighted from the car with her bag. “I’m going back to the dormitory. It’s not easy to park here. Don’t send me off. Goodbye.”
“…”
Xiang Huai, who had been duped by the little kid, wished he could slap himself. Why did he say that he was not in a hurry? He should have forced the little kid to return the money!
Since his little kid could not shell out that amount, she could only use her body to repay the debt.
Sigh.
Headache.
However, could he make the little kid graduate in a year and a half? This was a huge question in life that was worth pondering.
…
…
After getting out of the car, Xue Xi ran two steps and walked on Huaxia University’s stone path. Thinking about how she had just teased Xiang Huai, she could not help but laugh.
At this moment, she suddenly paused and turned around.
There was nothing behind her.
However, she clearly felt that someone was following her just now!
Xue Xi shook her head in confusion and took another two steps forward. At this moment, her phone rang. The sky was already dark and the street lamps were turned on. The students in the school were coming and going, and there was an endless stream of people on the road.
Xue Xi picked up the call and heard Xie Yingying’s voice. “Sister Xi, are you coming back tonight?”
“Mhm, I’ll be reaching the dormitory soon.”
Xie Yingying replied, “Okay.”
Just as Xue Xi was about to hang up, Xie Yingying impatiently said, “Sister Xi, did you know? The police came to the school today! They arrested a few people, saying that they were involved in a case before taking them away. Our school is in an uproar!”
Xue Xi’s heart sank when she heard this. She asked, “Who were the ones caught?”
Xie Yingying said, “They are all influential figures in the school. One is Yu Da from the Computer Department, and the other is Lin Ping from the Physics Department. Everyone calls him Bottle, and the other is called Bai something. Anyway, his nickname is Water. Oh, and there’s also Ma Feiyang!”
Yu Da, Bottle, Water, Flight…
Xue Xi paused and her pupils constricted.
It was indeed them!
Before she could be shocked or think about anything, she felt a strong tug at her wrist…
However, there was no one in front or behind her!
