Jian Xi furrowed her brows, looking at the exaggeratedly large gift box.
“Sister-in-law, from now on, I’ll be counting on you to take care of Brother Nan,” Rui Kun said politely, thrusting the large gift box directly into Jian Xi’s arms.
It was hard to refuse such warmth and kindness, so Jian Xi could only accept it.
It seemed to be the first gift she had received, and a wave of indescribable emotions surged within her.
“Thank you.”
“No need to be so formal, sister-in-law.
I won’t disrupt you any longer.
Just remember me, okay?
My name is Rui Kun.”
“Okay.”
“Bye!”
Rui Kun walked away, blinking his peach blossom eyes.
Carrying the massive gift box, Jian Xi walked out—using it to cover the injury on her leg and her torn dress.
Ten minutes later, Nan Mufeng returned to the dressing room with shopping bags, only to find it empty.
……
As night fell, Qiao Yonghui, his face glowing with happiness, returned home with Song Jia and Qiao Jiaying.
Now, the Qiao Family and the Nan Family were officially related by marriage.
That evening at the banquet, he had secured two major deals.
Seeing the red sports car parked in the courtyard, Qiao Jiaying pouted unhappily: “Dad, you bought sister a luxury car but not me!”
“It wasn’t me who bought it,” Qiao Yonghui was also puzzled about where Jian Xi got the car from.
The family of three circled the car, feeling more and more baffled.
“Husband, are you sure you didn’t buy it?” Song Jia was extremely surprised.
“Of course not,” he replied.
“Then, did she borrow it?” Song Jia could only think of this possibility.
All these years Jian Xi had been abroad, receiving just a little living allowance each month—a motorcycle would have been a miracle!
“Let’s go, let’s go ask,” he suggested.
…
In the living room, Jian Xi had been waiting for them for a while.
When she saw the Qiao’s family of three come in, her eyes turned even colder.
“Xiao Xi, where did you get that car from?” Qiao Yonghui asked as soon as he entered.
“Bought it.”
“You?” Qiao Yonghui was extremely shocked.
That sports car must cost at least a million; where did Jian Xi get so much money?
“Could it be that you bought it for me?” Jian Xi asked with a cold voice.
Qiao Yonghui was speechless.
Of course, he wouldn’t have bought it for her.
“Xiao Xi, where did you get so much money?” Song Jia asked curiously.
Jian Xi laughed.
This was the real point, wasn’t it?
Money, money, money, the Jian Family’s money, was always the best lure, right?
“About that…” Jian Xi deliberately drew out her tone.
The Qiao’s couple unconsciously craned their necks forward, anxiously waiting for an answer.
Jian Xi winked mischievously: “I’m not telling you!”
“…”
The couple felt a sudden tightness in their chests, looking at each other: it must have been Jian Wan, who had left Jian Xi a substantial fortune before the accident, unbeknownst to them.
Apparently, this fortune was quite considerable!
“Xiao Xi, what about the family car?” Song Jia asked again.
“It’s wrecked.”
“What?”
Both Qiao Yonghui and Song Jia exclaimed in shock.
“Wrecked?
What happened?” After the shock, Qiao Yonghui became furious.
“How could you cause trouble as soon as you come back?
Do you know how expensive that car was?”
Jian Xi looked steadily at Qiao Yonghui, remaining silent.
A few-hundred-thousand-worth of broken car, was it more important than a daughter’s life?
If it hadn’t been for her amazing driving skills, she would have died today!
She stared at Qiao Yonghui with icy eyes for a long time.
Qiao Yonghui’s voice gradually lowered, and finally, he said guiltily, “Forget it, if it’s wrecked, it’s wrecked.
Go to sleep.”
“President Qiao.
I think, there are some matters we need to discuss seriously,” Jian Xi said as she sat down on the sofa, crossing her legs.
“That broken car, it was assigned to me by Auntie, wasn’t it?”
Song Jia was startled: “Yes, that’s right!”
“The car had a problem.
Today, whoever drove it would have died,” Jian Xi stated.
Qiao Yonghui turned pale with shock: “How is that possible?”
