The gaudy pink BMW slowly drove into an old neighborhood in the northern district of Haicheng. While carefully driving and guarding against the residents who might suddenly dash out from the roadside, Hu Yuankang observed his surroundings and thought to himself:
Does the young lady live in a place like this? With her stunning beauty and noble and elegant temperament, she should at least live in the villa area in the southern district where the rich gather, right?
However, when he parked the car downstairs and saw a low - key but luxurious latest - model Maybach parked not far away, he immediately adjusted his attitude.
A real rich person should be like the young lady, living in a low - key old urban area, taking taxis when going out, and wearing cheap street - stall clothes. This was luxury in disguise.
When he got back, he would throw away all the designer clothes in his wardrobe and replace them with street - stall items!
Hu Yuankang parked the car. After a long time, he noticed that the young lady didn't move. It took him a while to figure it out. He quickly went over to open the car door for her.
"Miss, we're here."
Only then did Xu Zixi get out of the car with her two kids, giving him a satisfied look.
Hu Yuankang was extremely happy, thinking that he was really observant. Then he enthusiastically became a bag - carrying assistant and helped Xu Zixi carry the shopping bags full of purchases upstairs.
"Okay, you can stop here. Thank you for today. You're really sincere about being my friend."
Outside the door, Xu Zixi said to Hu Yuankang with a smile.
"Where, where. It's my honor to serve the young lady." Hu Yuankang rubbed his hands and tentatively asked, "So, Miss, am I...?"
Although there had been some misunderstandings at first, he had helped them a lot today. Xu Zixi wasn't a stingy person. She hinted:
"Did you take over the stocks I sold?"
Hu Yuankang nodded. "I've invested half of my fortune in them!"
Xu Zixi said, "Sell them quickly."
Hu Yuankang was shocked. "Miss means... Okay, I understand!"
It seemed that this Brother Hu wasn't too stupid. Xu Zixi nodded secretly. It was really worth taking this assistant.
She smiled and said, "Remember to send me the video from the mall just now when you get back."
"Sure, Miss."
After Hu Yuankang got back, he originally didn't want to sell the stocks as Xu Zixi said. But when he recalled Xu Zixi's heroic figure when she confronted the Pei family's young lady, he finally reluctantly sold all the stocks he had taken over.
The day after he sold them, the stocks that had been soaring like tired athletes began to slow down in their upward trend, and occasionally even declined. It seemed like normal market fluctuations, which made many people lose their vigilance. But starting from the fifth day, those stocks began to plummet. If it weren't for Xu Zixi's prior warning, Hu Yuankang might have lost half of his fortune. The stocks and funds that Xu Zixi had newly bought once again became high - performing stocks with a promising upward trend. Hu Yuankang no longer had any doubts and immediately followed suit to buy. He was even more determined to be the young lady's bag - carrying assistant.
Of course, all this was yet to come.
Neither Xu Zixi nor Hu Yuankang knew that since they entered the Haicheng Financial Trading Center, their every move had been closely monitored.
"Third Master, that woman actually used the small lottery winnings to turn it into tens of millions of assets!"
Hearing the report from the bodyguard on the other end of the phone, Wei Shu was so shocked that he almost dropped the phone in his hand. How did she do it? It had only been a few days, and she had already made so much money!
Although there was no change in Yan Yincheng's expression on his face, he was also quite surprised in his heart.
He remembered that before her true identity was revealed, Yuan Xi had been well - protected by the Yuan family. She was simple, innocent, and spoiled, but also lacked assertiveness and was weak - willed. The Yuan family had groomed her to be the granddaughter - in - law of the Yan family. She had never had any contact with business or investment.
Since she was so good at making money, why had she never gone to work before he came, relying on her savings and almost squandering them all, making her life extremely difficult?
Could it be that her previous appearance of being weak and helpless and on the verge of desperation was all an act, just to attract Yan Zhen to come to Haicheng to find her? And this current transformation was because she knew that Yan Zhen was engaged to Yuan Ya'er and wanted to change her strategy and use another way to stimulate Yan Zhen?
No matter which one it was, it was enough to show that this woman was more scheming than he had imagined.
With a cold snort, Third Master Yan said, "It's just some opportunistic and unorthodox means. There's nothing to be surprised about."
After a while, the phone rang again. After listening to the call, Wei Shu was so shocked that he jumped up from his chair.
"Third Master! That woman, she, she actually single - handedly took down several hooligans who were causing trouble!"
Saying that, Wei Shu opened the video sent by the bodyguard on his phone. Immediately, the sound of punches, kicks, and all kinds of miserable screams filled the room. He couldn't help but say:
"This fighting skill is so neat and tidy..."
A vein on Yan Yincheng's forehead twitched. He let out a heavy cold snort and said, "Rude, barbaric. She doesn't have a bit of a woman's grace!"
After a while, the phone rang again. This time, before Wei Shu could speak, Yan Yincheng automatically perked up his ears.
"What?! Someone actually called the two young masters bastards? The Pei family's young lady even launched a personal attack on Miss Yuan? This is too much!"
Yan Yincheng was furious. He told Wei Shu to prepare the car immediately and planned to go out to support his two kids.
Just as he had changed his clothes and opened the door, Wei Shu's phone rang again:
"What? You said Miss Yuan, out of anger, bought all the things in the store, severely taught the Pei family's young lady and that salesperson a lesson, and even made the salesperson apologize to the young master?"
Third Master Yan's foot had just stepped over the threshold. After hearing this, it hung in the air. He didn't know whether to lift it or put it down. He felt extremely uncomfortable.
It was solved just like that? He... he hadn't even stepped in yet. To cover up his embarrassment, Third Master Yan angrily turned around and went back into the room. He snorted:
"Look, look. Most of the money she just earned is spent in a blink of an eye. Vain and wasteful!"
Then he thought again. No, as the father of the children, he couldn't be outdone by that woman. Those who dared to bully his babies must pay the price! He said again, "From today on, I want the G family to completely disappear from Haicheng! And that blind - eyed salesperson, make her get out of Haicheng!"
Wei Shu asked one more question, "What about Pei Weiwei? She just insulted Miss Yuan's personality..."
Third Master Yan paused for a moment and then awkwardly snorted, "Hasn't she already been taught a lesson by someone? Besides, what does it matter to me what happens to her?"
Wei Shu looked at his third master's suddenly red ears and said, "Yes, Third Master. I'll give the order right away."
An hour later, Wei Shu stood by the window, closely watching the eye - catching pink BMW downstairs. He continued to give a live broadcast to Yan Yincheng sitting on the sofa.
"That man got out of the car and opened the door for Miss Yuan himself. He was very nice to her and the two young masters."
"He also opened the trunk to help Miss Yuan carry her luggage... Oh my god, Third Master, he picked up Young Master Xuan!"
"Third Master, do you think that man is so attentive to Miss Yuan. Is he her suitor?"
After learning about Hu Yuankang's appearance from Wei Shu, an inexplicable anger welled up in Third Master Yan's heart.
Is this her taste?!
Was she actually going to find such a person as a step - father for his two children?
He would never allow such a person to get close to his children!
When the people were no longer visible outside the window, Wei Shu quickly moved to the door and peeked through the peephole at the situation outside.
"Third Master, they're here!"
"Miss Yuan didn't let that man in. She blocked him outside the door. It seems that their relationship isn't very deep. Miss Yuan was smiling brightly at that man. She seems quite satisfied with him..."
"Enough! Stop talking!"
Yan Yincheng couldn't bear it any longer. He coldly interrupted Wei Shu's live broadcast. He didn't notice that his hand holding the blind stick was clenched tightly.
"When exactly can the plan to snatch the kids that you mentioned before be carried out?"
Wei Shu was choked. He replied in a low voice, "We just haven't found the opportunity..."
"The opportunity you couldn't find has become someone else's opportunity." Yan Yincheng said coldly, "My patience is limited. You should get this done as soon as possible. I don't want to see that man appear in front of the two children again."
Wei Shu: "Yes! Third Master!"
