Chapter 76: A Blessing in the World

Pan Yanji laughed heartily. "If I can't exaggerate, who can exaggerate you, Master Xie? All the prodigals in Baogang combined are not worth even one tenth of Master Xie's. I wonder if Master Xie, knowing the good things you've done, would rather have another daughter than give birth to a traitor like you."

Xie Zhiheng was furious and was about to fight back when Hu Xiaoxiao, sitting nearby, saw the situation clearly and said, "A blessing in disguise. Master Pan, it's too early for you to laugh now."

Pan Yanji turned his gaze to Hu Xiaoxiao, "Miss Hu Xiaoxiao is indeed the most beautiful Miss Hong Kong, just as the rumors say. However, I think you are very beautiful, but unfortunately, you are a beauty that brings disaster."

Hu Xiaoxiao disagreed with him, "I'm a lucky star, you should worry about yourself first."

"Yeah, worry about yourself. If you have time to waste here, why not go back and see how many illegitimate children your father has sired for you?" Xie Zhiheng said sarcastically, "Your father is such a playboy, I wonder if your attempts to pick up girls will lead to your stepmother."

"Go ahead and do what you want. I'll see how long you can do it." Pan Yanji waved at Xie Zhiheng, laughing as he walked. "I'm going to go back and celebrate first. Mr. Xie, when my big commercial city in Fu'an is finished, you're welcome to come and spend money. By the way, if you have extra milk or beef, I can help you sell it. No, you want to build a golf course, and I'll go and help you patronize it. I love playing golf the most, hahahaha—"

Xie Zhiheng became even angrier.

Not only was I angry, I was also worried, as if he had really gotten into trouble.

What should I do? Maybe I should go hide in Europe again?

Xie Zhiheng was so lost in thought that he didn't even pay attention to what Hu Xiaoxiao said to him. He left the auction house in a hurry.

The autumn wind blew, bringing with it a cold sweat, making Xie Zhiheng shiver. He immediately drove away, planning to go to his eldest brother-in-law's house to hide for a while.

What happened at the auction reached Xie's father's ears as soon as it ended.

Hu Xiaoxiao had just come out of the TV station when a black van stopped in front of her, blocking her way.

The car door opened, and four burly men with tattoos walked out. They surrounded her and said in a cold voice, "Ms. Hu, Mr. Xie wants to see you. Please get in the car."

Mr. Xie? Xie Zhiheng's father?

Hu Xiaoxiao took a look at the four men. They all had fierce faces, murderous auras, and a faint smell of blood. Hu Xiaoxiao estimated that these four men had been stained with blood.

"Wait a minute, I'll buy something." Hu Xiaoxiao walked towards the fruit shop next to the TV station building.

The four men moved and blocked her way again, saying coldly, "Ms. Hu, please get in the car obediently, otherwise, we will not know how to be gentle with you."

There was a fierce look in his eyes, as if he was about to take action.

Hu Xiaoxiao's expression remained unchanged. He simply pointed towards the TV station building and said, "This is Ji Sheng's territory. Are you sure you want to cause trouble here?"

"That depends on whether Ms. Hu knows her place and whether she'll make things difficult for us."

"Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you. I'm just buying some fruit. Mr. Xie and I have some friendship. His father invited me here. This is my first visit, so I have to buy some fruit, right? Otherwise, it would be a bit impolite."

After staying in Baogang for so long, she has learned the ways of the world very well.

The four men were stunned. Whenever Xie Sheng sent them, even tall and strong men would become weak at the sight of them, not to mention women. But this seemingly delicate and weak woman was not afraid of them at all? Not only was she not afraid, she even said she wanted to buy fruit for Xie Sheng?

Did she really think that Xie Sheng invited her to visit him?

Is it because of being careless or too naive?

Hu Xiaoxiao had already walked to the fruit shop, picked out two kilograms of fresh oranges, a bunch of 90% ripe bananas, and two kilograms of imported apples, packed them into two bags, and checked out.

He came out with the fruit, got on the car, and chose a comfortable seat by the window. Then Hu Xiaoxiao looked at the four big men standing outside, "Didn't Mr. Xie say he wanted to see me? Why don't you leave?"

The four men finally came to their senses, hurriedly got into the car and asked the driver to drive away immediately.

In the car, they looked at Hu Xiaoxiao with a strange look in their eyes.

The car took Hu Xiaoxiao to the Xie family's villa halfway up the mountain. It was getting dark, and the western hilltops were covered in orange by the sunset glow.

Hu Xiaoxiao got out of the car carrying the fruit and handed it to the housekeeper who came to greet him. He apologized and said, "This is my first visit, and I don't know what kind of fruit Mr. Xie likes to eat, so I bought some common fruits. I hope Mr. Xie doesn't blame me for being rude."

The housekeeper originally wanted to give Hu Xiaoxiao a warning first, but he didn't expect to receive two bags of fruit first.

Looks strangely polite——

The housekeeper was carrying two bags of fruit and following Hu Xiaoxiao, a little dazed.

The Xie family's large living room is decorated in an antique style. All the furniture is made of rosewood and is quite old.

The old furniture was dark in color, and because it was evening and there was not enough light, the living room seemed even darker because no lights were on.

After Hu Xiaoxiao sat down, he thought he would see Mr. Xie, but he waited for a long time and no one showed up.

She turned on a nearby lamp and pulled out a notebook from her bag. This was a collection of notes she had borrowed from a former artist training class, covering some of the courses in performing arts training.

Hu Xiaoxiao lowered his head and began to read. He pondered while reading, and recalled the performances of the actors in the crew, trying to grasp the knowledge thoroughly.

As night fell, Xie Lisheng slowly walked down from upstairs, leaning on a black cane.

As he walked down, all the lights in the living room turned on, and the room was bright.

Hu Xiaoxiao looked up and saw the appearance of this famous Hong Kong tycoon. He was very similar to Xie Zhiheng, but less unruly and more serious and profound.

Hu Xiaoxiao stood up and said politely, "Are you Mr. Xie? I've heard a lot about you!"

Xie Lisheng walked into the living room, stared at Hu Xiaoxiao gloomily for a few seconds, then walked to the main seat and sat down. His eyes fell on Hu Xiaoxiao with a cold look, "Are you Hu Xiaoxiao?"

"That's right. I wonder why Mr. Xie invited me to his house?" Hu Xiaoxiao sat down and asked.

"I heard you are dating my son?"

"No, I'm not interested in a relationship, and Master Xie and I are just friends."

Xie Lisheng sneered: "Just a friend? How dare a friend spend millions of my son's money?"

Hu Xiaoxiao corrected him, saying, "I haven't spent a penny of your son's money. The millions you mentioned are donations, right? Mr. Xie is kind-hearted and a good person. He sympathizes with the weak and has made outstanding contributions to Baogang's charity.

Mr. Xie, please rest assured that every donation is supervised by a dedicated person and will be put to good use, helping those who truly need it. The Xie family's support for charity will surely be rewarded."
