241: Chapter 241: Fang Qingya’s Ambition!

What the heck!

Wu Jie turned the doorknob, entered the second bedroom, and saw that Tang Xin seemed to be asleep.

Her skin was as delicate as jade, flushed with a soft red.

Under a pair of willow-like eyebrows, her eyelashes curled up, fluttering playfully.

He walked over to the window, lit a cigarette, and gazed into the distance.

The sky had already darkened.

The lights of thousands of homes and the city streetlights turned the night sky into a dusky yellow.

After finishing two cigarettes, Tang Xin still hadn’t woken up.

Wu Jie couldn’t wait any longer.

They had to take wedding photos tomorrow, and Tang Xiao would definitely scold him if he got back late.

He removed a silver needle, and Tang Xin suddenly woke up with a start.

“It’s already half-past eight, that’s enough right?”

“This… this is hardly enough.

Let’s wait a bit more!”

Tang Xin’s pretty face looked aggrieved, pitiable.

Without a word, Wu Jie swiftly removed the rest of the silver needles.

“I’m heading back, you should lie down in bed!”

Just as he was about to leave, the master bedroom door also opened.

Wu Jie glanced over reflexively.

And then…

Lin Yuan and Fang Qingya were packing small gift boxes, probably to take to the orphanage kids.

On the index finger of Fang Qingya’s right hand was a very fine, long cut, presumably from unpacking boxes.

“Your acupuncture skill… it’s quite unique, isn’t it!”

“It’s just a handy skill!

Lin has tried it before; if you ever have menstrual pain, you can come to me, you know!”

Fang Qingya chuckled lightly and headed straight to the washroom.

Wu Jie turned his head to look into the master bedroom and saw Lin Yuan starting up her machine, seemingly preparing for a live stream.

“Are you going to live stream to sell stuff?”

Lin Yuan glanced up, shook her head with a smile, and said, “A few days ago, Xin’er and I launched a charity event.

I need to show the gifts our followers pitched in to buy on the live stream, otherwise they might accuse me of embezzlement!”

“By the way, do you have time tomorrow?

We could go to the orphanage together, the kids really miss you, especially Yuan Zihan, who has asked about you several times!”

Wu Jie shook his head, “I have to take wedding photos tomorrow; call me next time you go!”

“Okay, then I’ll start the live stream!”

With a slight smile, Lin Yuan turned her head to face the camera.

Carrying his book, Wu Jie walked out and headed downstairs, unconsciously making his way to the subway station.

He used to take the bus or subway to and from work, how could he afford a taxi!

Beep beep!

A fiery red BMW pulled up alongside him.

The window rolled down, and Fang Qingya called out, “Get in!”

Wu Jie paused, opened the car door, and before he could buckle up, Fang Qingya floored the accelerator.

The BMW roared and shot forward like an arrow off its string.

The strong sensation of acceleration pressed Wu Jie firmly against the seat.

“Holy crap, slow down!”

“What’s there to be afraid of?

My skills are good and the car is even better!”

Fang Qingya glanced at him with a cool look, sizing him up:

“I’m wondering, at the hotel last time, you seemed so reluctant.

Turns out you’ve already got Tang Xiao, the beautiful CEO, all to yourself, huh?”

“Can’t help it!

Who made me so charismatic!”

“Isn’t it your thick skin, rather?

Aren’t you afraid of being called a kept man, dependent on a woman?”

Wu Jie laughed proudly, “The grapes are sour when you can’t taste them!”

Fang Qingya looked ahead, the corner of her lips curling up slightly.

“Did you manage to win over Tang Xiao because of your acupuncture skill?

I’ve heard from Lin Yuan that your skill is quite miraculous, capable of not only relieving women’s menstrual pain but making it feel really good.”

Wu Jie shrugged.

“The main reason is because I’m handsome!”

“Shameless!”

Fang Qingya murmured, shaking her head at encountering such a bizarre person.

“Do you mind if I smoke?” Wu Jie asked with a smile.

“Sure, I’m not that fussy!”

Wu Jie lit a cigarette and took two satisfying drags before frowning and asking:

“Right, you…”

“Since we both like doing charity, why not do it together!”

Fang Qingya raised her right hand and shook it.

On her fair-skinned jade hand, a sapphire ring adorned her right little finger.

Wearing a ring on the little finger symbolizes singlehood: no interest in dating, and the blue color symbolizes coldness.

So, the combined meaning is ‘Sister is frigid and will not marry’.

“Tsk tsk!

That sapphire ring of yours must have cost several hundred thousand at least, right?” Wu Jie asked curiously.

Fang Qingya scoffed, “Look at you, acting like a money grubber.

Didn’t you just make a hundred million?

Even my dad praises you, calling you a ‘true man of small stature, but great heart!”

“Damn!

Who praises people like that?”

Wu Jie used a tissue to catch the ash from his cigarette, jesting as he asked, “Do you even know what business your dad does?”

“Hotels, catering, transportation…

he’s got both legit and shady businesses.

Anyway, he’s not short of money, enough for me to squander in a lifetime!

And because of my obsession with cars, that’s why I approached Tang Xiao previously, wanting to get into the new energy vehicle business together.”

“But she’s really worthy of being a CEO; she had already researched the booming new energy vehicle industry at home and abroad!”

“Talking about how they have short driving ranges, charging difficulties and slow speeds, rapid depreciation, and poor cost-performance ratio…

It’s just a whole bunch of flaws!”

As Fang Qingya spoke thus far, she became visibly disheartened.

Wu Jie just chuckled in response and didn’t say a word.

With the system in hand, we have the technology!

However…

Within the system’s shopping mall, indeed, there existed out-of-this-world graphene composite battery technology.

But damn it, it cost ten million energy points.

I can’t even afford the Marrow Cleansing Pill to treat Tang Xiao’s old injuries, let alone your high-tech gadgets?

“Nothing in this world is difficult for one who sets their mind to give up!”

Wu Jie stubbed out his cigarette butt and sighed deeply.

Fang Qingya lamented, “That’s right!

Just like when your wife previously asked me, if it weren’t for traffic restrictions and the license plate lottery, how many people would be willing to buy new energy vehicles?

I just laughed at that time!”

After a brief pause, Fang Qingya suddenly punched the steering wheel.

“But I just can’t accept it!”

“Humans can invent nuclear weapons, so why can’t we come up with a kick-ass battery?”

“So no matter whether your wife agrees or not, I’m going to start a company first, pour money into battery research!”

“With my dad backing me up, I don’t believe we can’t create a good battery even if it means burning through tens of billions!”

Wu Jie laughed, “Go ahead and splash the cash!

Your dad’s loaded and who knows, maybe one day Tian will get a brainstorm and hop over to work for you!”

“Great!

You’re the Tang Family son-in-law, I definitely offer you a high salary when you join!”

…

During their light-hearted banter, they reached the apartment.

After parking the car, they went up and each returned to their own homes.

Back home, Wu Jie found Tang Xiao curled up on the sofa, video chatting with her father-in-law, Tang Long.

“There is no need to use our money to fund their research.

My condition is incurable, let’s leave it!”

“But we should at least try, right?

What if it could get better?”

“Is it necessary to donate tens of millions of Gold Coins for that mere ‘what if’?

I don’t see the necessity!”

As she spoke, Tang Xiao turned her head to glance at Wu Jie and said with a smile:

“I’ve bought plenty of groceries and stocked them in the fridge.

Hurry up and cook, I’m starving!”

Wu Jie immediately retorted:

“What the heck!

Are you confused, who’s the wife here and who’s the husband?

Who is supposed to be in the kitchen between the two of us?”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Tang Long’s laughter echoed from Tang Xiao’s phone.

“I’ve tasted Xiao’s cooking, and it’s indescribably bad!

Are you sure you can swallow what she makes?”

Tang Xiao grimaced, replying in annoyance:

“Dad, do you really have to talk about your daughter like that?

Go take your nap; I’ll help with the cooking or else somebody here is going to get their mouth all pouty and reach for the sky!”

“Alright then!

I won’t disturb you lovebirds flirting with each other!”

With the video call ended, Tang Xiao immediately said:

“Not bad playing along, but actually, I already ate.”

Wu Jie teased, “I saw the takeout containers in the trash, so I immediately went along with your act.

How about that?

Quick reflexes, right?”

“You’re quick alright, but there’s something you shouldn’t have kept from me, right?”

Tang Xiao’s smile slowly faded, her gaze turning icy…
