Master Xiao, Your Wife Has Reborn Novel - Chapter 248

Chapter 248 Underestimated

Xi Chenxiao shook his head when he heard Su Jin’s question. Although this girl’s performance today was very outstanding and gained him a lot of face, it made ensuing business discussions awkward. So, he replied,

“We’ll talk about it another time. Let’s go home.”

Xi Chenxiao had long heard that Max doted on his daughter. His daughter was slapped in the face multiple times today, each time more ruthless. Max might very well seek revenge for his daughter and cancel the collaboration.

Su Jin did not say more and nodded. She then followed Xi Chenxiao out. Whatever the case, she hoped that she hadn’t ruined the collaboration. Otherwise, Devil Xi’s effort would have been wasted. After a few steps, Su Jin turned back and said to Merlin,

“Merlin, I haven’t thought about the requests yet. I’ll come back to you tomorrow.”

She did not know what to ask for. Money or person? No, she already had person. Devil Xi would probably kill her if he knew what she was thinking. It was better to ask for money, but wouldn’t it be too shallow to just ask for money?

Other than money, she wanted nothing else. What she lacked the most right now was money. Although this might be shallow but money’s useful. She could spend it however she wanted. Wouldn’t she be a fool if she didn’t ask for money?

Merlin was so angry that she stomped her feet. This nobody dared to speak to her like this and make her look bad. Damn it, this girl must be taught a good lesson!

Xi Chenxiao sensed Merlin’s anger and looked at her coldly. If she dared to order anyone to touch his girl, she’d be courting death. It wouldn’t matter which family she was from, she’d pay the price. He said coldly to Max,

“Your daughter’s magnanimity isn’t enough. She was the one who suggested the bet, shouldn’t she honor…”

Xi Chenxiao only spoke part of his sentence. Even if he did not say everything, Max should be able to understand. After all, they were both people of status and there was no need to speak the obvious.

Max didn’t want to say much because they lost the bet after all. But he was a little angry when he heard Xi Chenxiao’s words. Merlin was his precious daughter, so he looked at Xi Chenxiao angrily and said, “Chairman Xi, I think there’s no need for us to continue working together. Besides, what happens with my daughter is my business. What has it got to do with you?”

Xi Chenxiao glanced at Max calmly. The danger and oppression in his eyes made Max, someone who had seen it all, feel a little afraid.

“I can’t help it. My wife is too outstanding, which can sometimes be troublesome.”

Xi Chenxiao took a last look at Max before he turned to leave with Su Jin. Su Jin knew that she was the reason the collaboration with Xi Chenxiao’s was terminated. She turned around quickly and told Merlin and Max.,

“I’ve already thought about the requests. First, please continue working with Xi Corporation.”

Xi Chenxiao’s eyes flashed with happiness when he heard this. He had underestimated this girl. He had thought that she would ask for a lot of money from the Max family. He didn’t expect that the first request would be for him.

“The other request…”

Merlin interrupted Su Jin before she could finish. Did she think that she could use the bet to threaten the Max family? It was impossible. Even if others gossip about them over this, it was still impossible. Merlin said coldly, “I’m sorry, I can’t decide if I can fulfill this request.”

When Su Jin heard this, a playful smile appeared on her face. Was this young miss trying to cheat? She actually dared to say that she could not fulfill the request? She didn’t say so when she suggested the bet. Su Jin asked plainly,

“Oh? Is Miss Merlin trying to cheat?”

Merlin was even more displeased when she heard Su Jin’s blunt reply. If this girl asked her nicely, she might still consider it. But since she replied so bluntly, Merlin couldn’t be blamed for what she was about to do. Merlin replied arrogantly,

“Enough. You’ve already won everyone’s adoration and respect today, and you’ve embarrassed me. Don’t go too far…”

Su Jin waved her hand impatiently, asking Merlin to shut up at once. She looked at Max and asked playfully,

“Mr. Max, don’t businessmen keep their word?”
