Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife

Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Da Bai Arrives (9)

They were on a legitimate business trip to discuss authentic business deals in compliance with the law, not to negotiate with gangs, so how did they end up involved in a murder case?

Xiao Yebai sneered, "His whole persona reeks of poverty; I’ve told him before, but he didn’t listen. How can you succeed in business with such pettiness? With his approach, it’s no wonder he ends up getting slashed with a knife."

Zhan Dapeng knew his favorite saying was about crushing people with money, but looking at the situation now, Xiao Yebai’s words seemed to make more sense.

Trying to drive a hard bargain in business and now a life-threatening incident has occurred. Was it really worth it to save that little extra money? What was Chen Jiaming thinking with his penny-pinching logic?

As for this incident, once the news got out, one could only wonder what the Board of Directors would think.

And what would Xiao Jianming’s attitude be?

Zhan Dapeng pondered, "This incident works in Second Brother’s favor; after all, he has contributed greatly to the company this time."

Xiao Yebai clearly showed no interest in his words and bluntly threw out, "My sister-in-law said that I’m doing this for my father. That sum of money from my dad, I don’t even spare it a glance. You’ve been with me for so many years, yet you can’t even compare to the insight of your sister-in-law."

Zhan Dapeng: ...

Well, this man, ever since he got a wife, no one could compare to her.

Desert friends for beauty, desert friends for beauty!

Zhan Dapeng thought.

However, speaking of which, they all had a good impression of Gu Nuan and were equally worried about her.

"I actually wanted to visit my sister-in-law last night. But Professor Tang was there—"

Tang Sili, a doctor who, except for Xiao Yebai, was disliked by everyone. He was a complete mercenary with allegiance only to money.

About him, Zhan Dapeng, as well as Zang Xiaolian, had their doubts.

Wondering what Xiao Yebai truly thought by using such a person.

"You mean him?" Xiao Yebai seemed to consider this without much thought and said directly, "His love for money is perfect for me. I’d be worried if he didn’t love money. Only those who love money the most are the easiest to use."

"Second Brother—" Zhan Dapeng loyally raised an objection, "If he betrays Second Brother over money—"

"That’s impossible. Nobody can offer a higher price than me. Do you really believe anyone can surpass my ability to crush people with money?"

Zhan Dapeng: Uhh—Fact seemed to be so.

Putting aside who has the most money, the most generous one willing to spend it is undoubtedly Xiao Yebai, and there’s no second to be found.

Contrasting with Chen Jiaming, whom it was more than just pettiness; it was downright destitution.

No wonder those represented by Chen Jiaming complained every day about Xiao Yebai squandering his wealth.

But Zhan Dapeng knew one thing clearly, the money Xiao Yebai threw around had never involved a cent from Xiao Jianming, let alone from Changda Group.

In the hospital, Gu Nuan woke up suddenly to the sound of the door being kicked open with a bang.

Startled, she saw a figure pounce onto her bed like a dog.

Immediately after, a pair of dark, deep eyes locked onto her face.

Caught off guard by his sudden intense gaze and unexpected appearance, Gu Nuan felt slightly flustered.

Her face turned a bit red as she asked, "How did you get here?"

"Nuannuan, have you taken your medicine?" he said. His hands touched her face repeatedly, in no way resembling a check for fever.

Gu Nuan had reason to believe he was using it as an excuse to get fresh.

Turning her head to avoid his hand, she feigned annoyance, "This isn’t home, what are you doing?"

Seeing her seemingly irritated, he then withdrew his hand and sat properly on her bed, caressing her hand as if savoring her presence.

At that moment, the curtain was pulled back and Ou Yanan, following Tang Sili’s instructions, walked in with the anti-inflammatory drugs from the pharmacy.

Upon seeing him, Gu Nuan immediately averted her gaze.

She thought she had concealed it well, but her small gesture had already caught the attention of both men, each puzzled.

Xiao Yebai immediately shot a murderous glare at the young doctor, as if wanting to drill holes into his face.

Ou Yanan frowned, wondering if this extravagantly dressed man might be her husband. His style was completely at odds with her plain and simple demeanor.

Upon hearing that the boss had arrived, Tang Sili hurried in, sensed something was off in the atmosphere, and stepped in front of Ou Yanan, taking the drug packet from his hand. With utmost respect, he said to Xiao Yebai, "These are the medications Mrs. Xiao must continue to take after she goes home."

"Hmm—" Xiao Yebai’s gaze had not moved an inch from Ou Yanan’s face.

Tang Sili had no choice but to pass the medication packet to Xiao Yebai’s secretary, Zang Xiaolian.

"Who is he?" Xiao Yebai inquired.

Gu Nuan then tugged at his sleeve.

The certain Xiao Mr. immediately turned his head and glared at her with jealousy etched on his face.

Gu Nuan was left speechless at the sky.

"He is, as I’ve mentioned to Mr. Xiao before, both my student and my assistant, surnamed Ou," Tang Sili explained calmly.

Xiao Yebai, with his chin slightly raised and a discerning look in his eye, surveyed Ou Yanan’s wary facade one more time, then abruptly averted his gaze, indifferently remarking, "I had assumed the students you take on would be like you."

Tang Sili answered, "Dr. Ou has a natural talent for medicine, I believe he is the same as me."
