Forced to Date a Big Shot - Chapter 286

Chapter 286: The Sky Is Cold and the Company Can Fall Down

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Xue Xi placed the breakfast on the table loudly.

Her expression was calm and her eyes were still indifferent. She looked cold and arrogant.

This action of hers made everyone in the room look over. In the past, Xue Xi would keep her mouth shut even if she wanted to speak.

However, everyone was paying attention to her today, so they gave her a chance to speak. She slowly asked, “Can the company not go on without my father?”

For some unknown reason, the old lady was shocked by her.

She kept feeling that this heartless granddaughter of hers seemed to have suddenly become formidable. She was so frightened that she did not dare to speak.

However, Liu Yiqiu said carefully, “Yes, we can’t do without Big Brother in the company. We’re here to invite him back…”

“My father doesn’t want to go back, but you guys said that the company can’t do without him. Since that’s the case, I have a solution.” When Xue Xi spoke, no one dared to interrupt, and they finally let her speak for a long time at home.

Liu Yiqiu’s eyes lit up as she looked at the old patriarch. He nodded, and Liu Yiqiu asked, “What solution?”

Xue Xi looked at the weather outside. As the cold wind had begun to blow, the leaves were turning yellow. She slowly said, “The weather is cold. The company can close down now.”

Everyone: “…”

This overbearing CEO’s words!

Liu Yiqiu jumped in shock and shrieked, “Y-You’re threatening us?”

Xue Xi looked at her coldly. “It’s not a threat. Aren’t I just solving the problem?”

Her calm tone made the old patriarch’s hands tremble.

He looked at Xue Xi and saw that this obedient and sensible granddaughter, who rarely spoke, was so cold that she did not seem human. The old patriarch’s heart skipped a beat.

Although the Xue family’s company was huge, it was not worth mentioning in front of the God of Fortune Group.

If the other party moved his pinky, their company would not be able to continue operating.

What Xue Xi meant was that if they continued to force Xue Sheng, the company would close down, right? This granddaughter of his was too ruthless!

He looked at Xue Sheng and saw his son standing there expressionlessly, as though he agreed with Xue Xi’s words.

The old patriarch sighed deeply.

He knew that he had hurt his elder son’s heart yesterday and there was no way he could get him back!

The old patriarch was really frightened by Xue Xi’s words. He hurriedly stood up. “Son, I’m only here today to express my family’s attitude. If you want to come back, you can come back anytime. If you don’t want to go home… There is still an old sack of bones like me at home, so the company doesn’t need to close down. Alright, we’re all family. Don’t make things so ugly. Son, is your new company going to operate in the same industry? We can all help!”

This was an admission of defeat!

Xue Sheng lowered his eyes. “I’ll consider it.”

“Alright, then, we’ll go back first!”

After saying that, Old Master Xue stood up and led Xue Gui and Liu Yiqiu out.

The three of them were well-behaved. Only the old lady was cursing as she walked. “Isn’t she just relying on Mr. Xiang’s love? Who does she think she is?! When Mr. Xiang gets tired of her, I’ll see how she can still boast around! By then, even if she cries and begs us, we won’t care! Shoes…”

Her words had always been nasty. In the past, Xue Xi and Ye Li had ignored her. Now that Xue Xi had shot her a cold glance, the old lady was so frightened that she shut her mouth and quickened her pace.

Soon, the room became quiet.

Ye Li praised, “Xixi, it’s fortunate that you’re here today. Otherwise, these people would not have been dismissed so easily! However, it turns out that my Xixi knows how to threaten others too, huh?”

Xue Xi was at a loss. “I was just talking about a solution. Since they don’t know how to manage it, we’ll sell the company and split the money. That should be enough for them to spend, right?”

Ye Li: “?”

Xue Sheng: “?”

The two of them looked at her and saw that she was indeed speaking the truth. So… that comment just now, about how the company could close down. Did Old Master Xue and the rest read too much?

They knew it. How could Xixi use Xiang Huai’s power to threaten others?!

The corners of their lips twitched as they watched Xue Xi pick up her breakfast and walk out. As she walked, she thought to herself, I let go of my breakfast too early just now. It made such a loud sound. The buns inside should not have been damaged, right?

…

When Xue Xi arrived at the provision store, Qian Xin was speaking to Xiang Huai. “After finding out your identity, Sister-in-law might not be as natural as before. What if she becomes reserved?”

Xiang Huai shot him a glance.

Qian Xin said, “When Sister-in-law comes later, we have to smile more. We must make her feel as though she’s bathing in the spring breeze.”

Xue Xi walked in with breakfast.

Qian Xin immediately forced a smile on his face. The burly man welcomed her and squeezed out a smile that looked uglier than if he cried. “Hello, Sister-in-law!”

Xue Xi: “…”

She naturally passed the breakfast to Qian Xin and asked seriously, “Is your face hurting?”

Qian Xin: “?”

Qian Xin silently unpacked their breakfast. When the three of them were eating, he realized that he had been worrying too much. As expected of the person that Boss had taken a fancy to. Why would she make a fuss over their identity?!

After breakfast, Xue Xi grabbed Xiang Huai’s hand.

When her heart no longer hurt, she retracted her hand and was about to go to school when Xiang Huai leaned forward and supported his cheek with his hand. He suddenly asked, “Little kid, do you know what it spells when you modify the characters in the word husband?”

Xue Xi paused while packing her bag and replied to the anticipating Xiang Huai, “Father-in-law.”

Xiang Huai: “?”

“Pfft!”

Unlike Lu Chao, who was already used to it, Qian Xin spat out a mouthful of soy milk.

Sister-in-law, aren’t you being too straightforward?!

He then turned to look at his boss, who was clearly already used to it. He did not give up and continued to ask, “Then what does the amusement park have?”

Qian Xin: “…”

Boss is taking advantage of Sister-in-law!

However, his sister-in-law was unromantic and looked at him. “A ferris wheel?”

Xiang Huai: “?”

Qian Xin: “?”

After answering Xiang Huai’s two baffling questions, Xue Xi looked at Xiang Huai in confusion. She then took out a stack of A4 papers from her bag and passed it to Qian Xin. “Your math questions from last time.”

Qian Xin was stunned. “Huh?”

He took the papers in a daze and saw Xue Xi walking out of the provision store and going to school without looking back.

After she left, Qian Xin looked at his hand in shock. “Sister-in-law really did it? It must be fake, right?”

Xiang Huai said, “You can’t give her a single cent less.”

The corners of Qian Xin’s lips twitched as he came to a realization. “You just want to spend money on Sister-in-law, right? That’s why you came up with an excuse. Fine, I’ll pretend as if Sister-in-law had really calculated it…”

As he spoke, he opened the papers and his expression suddenly turned serious.

Chapter 287: I Want to Bring the Little Kid Home~

Qian Xin looked like he was joking, but he sighed in his heart.

It turned out that even Boss was a hero who could not resist the charms of a beauty. In the past, he had never cared about the God of Fortune Group’s business and never allowed outsiders to interfere in his dealings. Today, his boss actually wanted to sell the tea leaves to the Li family for the first time because his sister-in-law said something.

Was this an excuse to support the Xue family?

The solving of this question was very helpful to their mathematical modeling. However, since Boss had given Sister-in-law money, Boss would have definitely solved this question for her!

As he thought this, he looked at the papers in his hand.

It was filled with words.

Qian Xin did not understand this and felt that it was quite proper. Sister-in-law did things quite well! Thinking of this, he turned to look at Xiang Huai. “Boss, what’s the answer?”

Xiang Huai continued reading the Buddhist scriptures. “The answer is in your hands.”

Qian Xin: “?”

He looked at the papers in his hands and could not help but laugh. “Boss, stop teasing me. How can this be the answer?”

Xiang Huai shot him a glance and did not speak.

Qian Xin gritted his teeth and said in a northeastern accent, “Boss, that’s not right of you. You can’t just do it without putting in any effort! How can a high school student like Sister-in-law solve a question that even a university professor can’t solve? Don’t joke with me!”

Xiang Huai continued ignoring him.

Qian Xin could only say, “Alright, I’ll send these photos to the company and show them to those mathematicians. However, Boss, let’s talk about it. If it’s not right, you have to give me the correct answer.”

Xiang Huai continued to remain silent.

Qian Xin picked up his phone and took a photo before sending it to the company.

After sending it, he turned to look at Xiang Huai and walked over to pester him. “Boss, when you left, you said that you would come back to manage the company when you’re free. Since you have nothing to do now, why don’t you help me manage it for a few days?”

Xiang Huai: “Not free.”

Qian Xin: “Why aren’t you free? You’re very free now!”

Xiang Huai’s face tensed up when he heard this. He frowned and slowly said, “My vacation is ending soon.”

This sentence made Qian Xin shut his mouth.

Although he wanted his boss to manage the organization, money was not worth mentioning when it came to what his boss should do as General Xiang!

He looked at Xiang Huai, who seemed to be thinking about something, and asked solemnly, “Boss, what are you thinking?”

Someone of his caliber must be thinking of something big!

However, he did not expect Xiang Huai to sigh. “I’m thinking of a way to bring the little kid home. Or should I work in Bin City?”

Qian Xin: “?”

Xiang Huai frowned and sighed again.

Half a year from now, the little kid would definitely go to the capital.

After not seeing her for half a year, it was fine if he went crazy. But with the little kid’s heartless personality, wouldn’t she forget him?

It was very difficult.

…

…

Xue Xi, who did not know anything about Xiang Huai, had just reached the school gate when she saw a slender figure standing sneakily at the entrance.

That person was wearing a baseball cap and a mask, covering himself tightly.

However, Xue Xi still recognized him from his figure. Isn’t this Cen Bai?

Cen Bai?

Xue Xi suddenly recalled that the chatterbox had returned today after the art examination. Isn’t Cen Bai a part of a production team at present? Why did he follow her? Moreover, isn’t the chatterbox staying at my house? Did he come to school directly?

Just as she was thinking this, Cen Bai saw her and hurriedly walked over. He whispered, “Sister Xi.”

Xue Xi nodded and asked in confusion, “What is it?”

Cen Bai coughed. “It’s nothing. I’m just… Yes, that. I sent Xiao Shuang back and sent her to school. I planned to say hello to you, then I’ll leave.”

Xue Xi: “…”

“Oh,” she replied. After Cen Bai left, Xue Xi entered the school.

Relatively speaking, high school students were still relatively naive. The incident at the Xue family’s birthday banquet had spread throughout Bin City, and when the students were about to go to class this morning, their family had also instructed them to be on good terms with Xue Xi. However, the parents did not tell them the exact reason.

Hence, the students were relatively normal but were more enthusiastic than usual. Xue Xi bumped into a few people greeting her as she walked.

The moment she entered the classroom, she saw a group of people surrounding her seat.

To be precise, there was a group of people surrounding the chatterbox.

The chatterbox had returned from the capital and was beaming with joy. Her face was filled with excitement. Moreover, ever since Qin Lu was arrested, she had stopped putting on thick makeup. The girl, who was originally good-looking, had a clean face and looked much prettier than before.

Xue Xi slowly walked over and Qin Shuang spotted her. She hurriedly stood up and pounced at Xue Xi. “Sister Xi, I missed you to death!”

Xue Xi: “…”

She was still a little unaccustomed to this kind of passionate hug, but Qin Shuang knew her personality, so she separated after hugging her.

Xue Xi also smiled and asked, “How was the art examination?”

Qin Shuang was in high spirits. “I passed! I’m just waiting for the college entrance examination in June to see the results of the cultural class! Hehe~”

Just as Xue Xi was about to say something to her, a sharp female voice sounded from afar. “Qin Shuang, you’re done for!”

The two of them turned around and saw a girl in the class raising her phone and saying, “You’ve fallen out of love! You’ve been cheated on! Your husband has a girlfriend!”

Xue Xi: “?”

Xue Xi suddenly turned around and looked at Qin Shuang. Her eyes flickered. “You… What nonsense are you spouting?”

The girl was paying attention to the entertainment industry, so she hurriedly said, “I’m not spouting nonsense. It’s true. Your husband and his girlfriend are cohabiting! They were photographed! The girl didn’t show her face, but the man is indeed your husband! Ah ah ah, he even admitted it! He said that his girlfriend is still young and won’t be announced for the time being!”

Xue Xi: “?”

Qin Shuang’s face turned red.

She covered her face and sat in her seat. “It’s fine if it’s announced, he should just announce it!”

The girl was indignant. “Aren’t you sad? Aren’t you sad?! That’s your first love, your idol, your star, your brother, and your husband!”

Qin Shuang: “…”

Before Qin Shuang could say anything, Xue Yao suddenly said, “Isn’t it just a celebrity announcing their relationship? What does it have to do with her?”

Ever since Xue Xi’s boyfriend’s identity was exposed, Xue Yao had always felt erratic. She mocked, “It can’t be that just because someone found a good boyfriend, all the people around her will also be successful, right? Even if Cen Bai doesn’t have a girlfriend, he couldn’t possibly fancy someone like her, right?”

Just as she said this, Cen Bai suddenly stood at the door and shouted, “Erm, excuse me. I’m looking for Qin Shuang.”

He smiled. “You left your book in my car.”

Qin Shuang: “?”

Xue Xi: “?”

Everyone: “?”
