843: Chapter 843: Just One Million in Assets?

843: Chapter 843: Just One Million in Assets?

Xiao Mei didn’t ask much, just thought his parents were too unreliable.

If they had changed location, why didn’t they notify earlier?

It ended up causing her and Bai Xiaofan to go in circles.

“Su Hotel?”

Looking at the hotel in front of her, Xiao Mei asked in confusion, then turned to glance at Bai Xiaofan beside her.

“No need to doubt.

Across all of China, as long as it’s named this, it belongs to our Shi Qi’s family!”

Bai Xiaofan saw Xiao Mei’s puzzled expression and said confidently and proudly.

“Ugh, shameless!”

Seeing Bai Xiaofan boast so brazenly, Xiao Mei scolded him playfully.

As they entered the lobby, a rather handsome young man walked up to greet them.

“Haha, you must be Xiao Mei?

Wow, it’s been years, you’ve really grown into a fine young lady!”

The man opened his arms wide as he spoke, intending to give Xiao Mei a welcoming hug.

However, faced with his enthusiasm, Xiao Mei’s expression turned slightly cold and she stopped him from approaching.

“Who are you?”

Looking at the man, Xiao Mei found him somewhat familiar but couldn’t quite recall, so she asked in confusion.

“Me?

I’m Xiao Kai.

Back before you left, we used to walk to school together every morning!

I’m the eldest son of your uncle Xiao Daguang!”

Hearing Xiao Mei’s question, Xiao Kai smiled and explained while gesturing animatedly.

“Oh, so you’re my big brother.

Sorry about that, it’s been so long I didn’t remember!”

As Xiao Mei listened to him, some recognition dawned on her, and her eyes softened with a trace of warmth, no longer as icy as before.

“Haha, no worries!

When I saw you earlier, I almost didn’t recognize you myself!”

Seeing that Xiao Mei had remembered him, Xiao Kai once again opened his arms wide, intending to hug her.

But just like before, Xiao Mei raised her hand to stop him.

“Sorry, big brother, I’m not used to hugging men!”

Seeing his hug declined yet again, Xiao Kai’s face showed a faint hint of embarrassment.

Still, Xiao Kai didn’t show it outwardly and instead turned his gaze toward Bai Xiaofan.

“So, is this your boyfriend?”

“Mm, this is my boyfriend Bai Xiaofan.

And this is my uncle’s son, Xiao Kai!”

Hearing Xiao Kai’s question, Xiao Mei gently held Bai Xiaofan’s arm and introduced them softly.

Xiao Kai shook hands with Bai Xiaofan and didn’t say much else, leading them upstairs to the private room.

As soon as he pushed open the door to the private room, a cacophony of noise flooded Bai Xiaofan’s ears, almost making him feel like he’d stumbled into a bustling market.

Under Xiao Dahai and Li Yufen’s introductions, Bai Xiaofan and Xiao Mei greeted everyone with smiles one by one.

It took over ten minutes before they could finally sit down.

“Your family is really something.

Such a crowd!”

Bai Xiaofan whispered to Xiao Mei.

“I don’t remember having this many relatives either.

What, are you annoyed?”

As Xiao Mei spoke, her small hand sneakily pinched Bai Xiaofan’s waist while she threw him a warning look.

Ugh… Can I even dare say I’m annoyed?

“Sis, what does your boyfriend do for a living?

How much is his family worth?”

At that moment, a sharp female voice suddenly cut through the air, instantly silencing everyone in the room.

“Lili, your brother-in-law works in import and export.

His family’s worth around a million.”

Not giving Xiao Mei a chance to answer, Li Yufen spoke up first, looking toward the young woman who’d stood up.

Previously, when Li Yufen’s family had asked Bai Xiaofan about his finances, Xiao Mei, afraid of intimidating them, had deliberately downplayed the figures and cited a modest number that would appear wealthy but not extravagant to most.

“Oh my, only a million in assets?

I thought he’d have a few billion!”

The young woman sneered mockingly upon hearing Li Yufen’s response, sitting down with a haughty expression as though the whole world owed her money.

For a moment, the entire room froze!

“Xiao Lili, do you have some sort of issue with my Xiaofan?”

Noticing the gleeful expressions on many of the attendees, who were now casting unfriendly glances at Bai Xiaofan, Xiao Mei’s beautiful eyes held a flicker of coldness as she turned her icy gaze toward Xiao Lili and interrogated her.

“Oh, why would I have an issue?

Don’t talk to me like that; I was just casually asking!”

Sensing Xiao Mei’s hint of anger, Xiao Lili forced a fake smile, then turned her attention elsewhere.

“Big brother, I recall your company is part of the Song family, right?

Isn’t the Song family’s third son earning tens of millions a year?”

Hearing Xiao Lili’s remark, Xiao Kai set down his wine glass, adjusted his collar, and said:

“Indeed, Young Master Song Wei is the most talented and capable young man I’ve ever encountered.

Despite being born into privilege, he’s completely unspoiled.

Even though the family hasn’t split their assets yet, he’s already built an impressive empire on his own, worth at least a billion in total!”

“I’m lucky to work under him.

While my income can’t compare to his, I’d say it’s decent.

With bonuses included, I make nearly a million a year, which is pretty good for someone in Binbei City!”

Xiao Kai’s speech felt almost rehearsed, first showering praise on his boss, Song Wei, and then slipping in some self-promotion along the way.

In that instant, the focus of the room shifted entirely to Xiao Kai.

Initially, when people heard Bai Xiaofan’s family was worth a million, many had felt envious.

But now, realizing Xiao Kai made nearly as much in a year, they couldn’t help but look at him in admiration.

Even Xiao Dahai and Li Yufen admired Xiao Kai, their faces full of envy.

No wonder Xiao Kai’s father, Xiao Daguang, had been strutting around so confidently lately.

Not only had he upgraded his car, but his airs of self-importance were palpable wherever he went.

Turns out, his son was making him proud.

“Sorry, but Xiaofan and I have some things to take care of.

We’ll head out now!”

Noting everyone’s expressions, and sensing the not-so-friendly atmosphere from Xiao Lili and the others toward Bai Xiaofan, Xiao Mei decided she didn’t want to stay any longer.

She stood up and spoke to Xiao Dahai and the rest, ready to leave with Bai Xiaofan.

After years of dealing with toxic relationships, Xiao Mei no longer had strong feelings about family bonds.

Most of the relatives in the room were only faintly familiar faces from her memory, without any real attachment.

As for others, she didn’t even recognize them.

If it weren’t for Xiao Dahai and Li Yufen, she wouldn’t have brought Bai Xiaofan to this kind of gathering in the first place.

Now that the crowd’s attitude toward them made it clear they weren’t welcome, there was no reason to linger.
