Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend - Chapter 683:
Chapter 683: Chapter 683 I’m Not Clean Anymore
Bai Xiaoya went to change into a new set of clothes and put on a down jacket before she came back out.
Her cheeks were red.
Now that she had calmed down, she still felt a bit embarrassed.
She had been a bit impulsive just now.
But she didn’t regret it.
One should have the right attitude toward a benefactor.
Yet, Bai Xiaoya also sighed in her heart.
She would never be able to fall in love with another man in the future.
She could only adopt a child from a collateral branch of the family to inherit the position of the Patriarch of the Bai Family in the future.
She dutifully offered Jiang Xu tea, without the slightest air of the Patriarch of the Bai Family.
Yes, no matter how high her status, she could never show any arrogance in front of Jiang Xu.
Both of them wisely didn’t bring up the matter again.
Bai Xiaoya placed some documents in front of Jiang Xu.
She said, “Grandpa previously mentioned a compensation of ten billion, but I’ve raised it to fifteen billion.
Furthermore, I hope to collaborate with you as much as possible on all of the Bai Family’s future business endeavors.”
Bai Xiaoya’s current thought was to completely tie herself to Jiang Xu.
From now on, they would share both glory and loss together.
Jiang Xu was also very pleased with Bai Xiaoya’s sensibility.
The girl wasn’t greedy and knew what was the most fitting action to take.
After spending some time reviewing the documents, Jiang Xu said, “I’ll take these with me, and have the company’s people look at them tomorrow.
If there are no issues, we’ll sign.”
“Mhm,” Bai Xiaoya smiled like a blooming flower, “No rush, take your time to confirm.
It’s getting late, and Nuonuo must be anxiously waiting.”
Jiang Xu checked the time, and it was almost one in the morning.
Thinking that the foolish girl was probably still waiting for him, he stood up to say goodbye.
After seeing Jiang Xu off, Bai Xiaoya didn’t stay there but went to her original home instead.
There were many old servants and housekeepers at the Bai Family old mansion.
She didn’t like them.
She definitely wouldn’t move in until they were all replaced.
Back at her own home, Bai Xiaoya lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
A flame burned within her body, consuming her incessantly.
Finally, unable to bear it, she got up, closed the window, drew the curtains, and turned off the light.
Then she looked around like a thief.
She lay back down and pulled the covers over herself.
Silently, she slid her hand under the blanket…
In the darkness, Bai Xiaoya’s soft murmurs could barely be heard.
“Wuwuwu, I’m not clean anymore.”
——————————
Jiang Xu returned home.
As expected, the silly girl hadn’t gone to sleep and was waiting in the living room.
Jiang Xu promptly went up to her and scooped her into his arms without a word.
An Nuonuo exclaimed in surprise, “Brother Xu, what are you…”
Of course, Jiang Xu couldn’t mention that over at the Bai Family mansion, Bai Xiaoya’s actions had made him…
“Mhm, I’ve got something to tell you.”
In the bedroom.
Jiang Xu… while telling her about the events of today, oh, yesterday.
After hearing everything, An Nuonuo’s face was filled with astonishment.
The situation could be described as extremely twisted.
Bai Xiaoya could be called the ultimate opportunist.
Although it seemed like Jiang Xu’s profits had diminished, that wasn’t actually the case.
The Bai Family wasn’t a pushover.
Even if he had won in the end, there would definitely be some losses.
But now, it was as if he had effortlessly gained fifty billion.
Moreover, the various future business dealings of the Bai Family would also involve collaboration with him.
In the long run, the profits to be gained were undoubtedly greater.
“Sister Xiaoya has finally seen her fortune turn,” An Nuonuo said with joy in her eyes, “From now on, we will have another powerful ally.”
Jiang Xu nodded.
Indeed, that’s the case.
Now Jiang Xu, An Feng, Fu Xinghan, plus Bai Xiaoya and Jiang Xiaoyan.
The five major powers banding together made them almost invincible domestically, with few daring to provoke them.
Add to that Jiang Xu being the Chamber of Commerce President, and it made them even more formidable.
The next day, Jiang Xu went to the company bright and early.
Before long, An Feng, Fu Xinghan, and Bai Xiaoya also arrived.
In just one night, Bai Xiaoya had undergone a huge transformation in both temperament and demeanor.
Her status had soared several steps overnight.
The title of Patriarch of the Bai Family carried a tremendous weight.
And it was worth even more than the previous patriarch.
“Sister Xiaoya is getting more and more beautiful,” Jiang Xu said with a smile as he complimented her.
Bai Xiaoya felt a bit guilty.
Because last night, her mind was filled with thoughts of Jiang Xu.
She felt like she was turning into a bad woman.
The four of them sat down to discuss further cooperation.
They talked until after three in the afternoon before wrapping up.
Lunch was eaten in the office.
The promised 15 billion from Bai Xiaoya was transferred.
Divided equally, each got five billion.
Suddenly, Jiang Xu’s cash flow was much more comfortable.
He was almost getting addicted to it.
He was now hoping for a few more noble families to target him.
Then, with a series of moves, he could carve up their entire family wealth.
But what Jiang Xu didn’t know was that many families were now frightened of him.
Many family heads had explicitly instructed their younger members not to provoke Jiang Xu.
To stay as far away from him as possible.
So as not to accidentally offend this nemesis and cause a crisis for their families.
Such a joyful event, naturally, called for a banquet.
Bai Xiaoya said she would host a feast for everyone in about a month and a half.
In another half month, it would be nearly Chinese New Year.
It seemed that most of the troubles around him had been dealt with.
Now, the only major issue was that foreign tycoons had plans to target domestic businessmen.
Because Jiang Xu had stepped in, they had now gone into hiding for the time being.
With no immediate moves.
Jiang Xu guessed it might wait until after the New Year.
On the day before Bai Xiaoya’s banquet, Jiang Xiaoyan came back.
An Nuonuo had returned to the ancestral home with An Feng two days earlier.
They were renovating the new ancestral hall, and An Feng had contributed a lot of money.
Thus, they needed to bring the whole family back.
Since Jiang Xu hadn’t married An Nuonuo yet, he didn’t go with her.
Wearing a mask, he went to the airport.
It wasn’t long before he spotted Jiang Xiaoyan.
Dressed in a thick down jacket and cotton trousers, she looked like a clumsy penguin.
Jiang Xu went up to meet her, laughing, “Welcome home, just in time for the banquet tomorrow.”
Bai Xiaoya had also sent an invitation to Jiang Xiaoyan, but it was uncertain if she could make it back on time.
Jiang Xiaoyan spread her arms wide: “No hug?”
Jiang Xu: “Definitely next time.”
Jiang Xiaoyan’s eyes showed a hint of grievance.
But she was used to Jiang Xu’s ways and didn’t insist.
“Where’s Nuonuo?”
“Oh, she went back to her hometown.”
“When will she be back?”
“Before noon tomorrow, I guess.”
“Ah, I see,” said Jiang Xiaoyan, her eyes lighting up as she pretended to be coy, “Can I sleep at your place tonight then?
I get really scared sleeping alone at night.”
As she spoke, she batted her eyelashes at Jiang Xu, laying the charm on thick.
