Chapter 687: Chapter 687 Drive, All You Know is Driving
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.
“Mr. Jiang from Magic City’s Nuomi Group presents a large yacht, a private jet, and eight hundred and eighty-eight jin of Gold.”
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 wasn’t cheap either, and all together, it was almost ten billion.
Bai Xiaoya was shocked too.
She hadn’t 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.
“Boo hoo hoo, Sister Xiao Yan, you’re so kind,” Bai Xiaoya said with ‘tearful eyes’ as she looked at her: “So generous, this little woman has nothing to offer in return, how about attending to you tonight in bed?”
“Good,” Jiang Xiaoyan said, grinning mischievously: “Let me prepare some props.”
Bai Xiaoya went pale: “No, forget it, I’m not going.”
Don’t ruin yourself.
An Nuonuo blushed a deep red to the side.
Jiang Xu whispered to An Nuonuo, “Stay away from these two in the future, don’t let them corrupt you.”
Jiang Xiaoyan came over: “What are you talking about?”
Jiang Xu shook his head and took An Nuonuo’s hand: “Nothing, let’s go inside.”
They entered the Bai Family’s residence.
The place was lit up and decorated as if for New Year’s.
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 didn’t like such an atmosphere and pulled An Nuonuo to the backyard.
“Sister Xiao Yan, isn’t Zhou coming back with you?”
“Nope,” Jiang Xiaoyan hummed lightly: “She’s now transformed into a super worker.
Day and night, if she’s not filming, she’s involved in various investments.
She said she won’t come back even for New Year’s, still has to continue filming.”
“Oh…” An Nuonuo pursed her lips, not saying anything further.
Her intuition told her Zhou Qingyue’s 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.
“Congratulations to Patriarch Bai.”
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: “Chairman Lan Liang, what brings you here?”
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.
“Hehe, I apologize, ladies and gentlemen, for interrupting your meal,” Lan Liang said with a chuckle: “We 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.”
“Hello, my name is Yikali.”
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.
Lan Liang introduced: “This 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.”
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 didn’t have a boyfriend yet.
If someone could pursue her, wouldn’t that mean hitting the jackpot?
“Hello,” Yikali greeted in fluent Mandarin, then asked, “May I join you for dinner?”
Bai Xiaoya said with a smile, “Of course, it would be our honor.”
“Miss Yikali, why don’t you sit with me?” a young man took the initiative to invite her.
Seeing this, other young men who were interested in Yikali also started speaking up.
“Miss Yikali, I can introduce you to the various local customs and cultures.”
“Beautiful Miss Yikali, allow me to serve you.”
…
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, “May I sit with him?”
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 hadn’t 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.
“Okay, I’m honored to be of service to Miss Yikali,” 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.
“Miss Yikali, please take a seat.”
“Thank you, what’s your name? You look very handsome,” she said.
Jiang Xu didn’t 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 Yikali’s good impression.
“Hey,” Jiang Xiaoyan gently nudged An Nuonuo and whispered, “Are you not upset?”
“Huh?” An Nuonuo blinked, “Why should I be upset?”
Jiang Xiaoyan said, “Just 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.
Aren’t you afraid that Jiang Xu might fall for her or that she’ll take fancy to him?”
An Nuonuo said with a smile, “Sister Xiao Yan, you are stirring up trouble.”
She wasn’t upset; in fact, she found Jiang Xiaoyan rather straightforward.
And she had complete trust in Jiang Xu.
“Pfft, didn’t work though,” Jiang Xiaoyan pouted, “Boring, I might as well eat.”
An Nuonuo picked up some greens with the serving chopsticks for Jiang Xiaoyan, “Sister Xiao Yan, you should eat more veggies, keep those intestines moving.”
Jiang Xiaoyan scratched her head, somewhat annoyed, “An Nuonuo, don’t be so nice to me; how will I have the heart to compete with you for a man in the future?”
