Chapter 448 Liking a Rich Uncle

Li Yancheng is now just as popular in the capital as Huo Nanxiao. He is not only a newly powerful figure, but also exceptionally handsome, attracting the attention of many media outlets.

The media will report on the slightest disturbance outside.

This morning, high society circles were in an uproar.

Although Huo Nanxiao doesn't pay attention to news in this circle, he sees everything clearly in the news.

He suppressed his anger and answered Ji Feibai's question expressionlessly: "I don't know anything about Li Yancheng's matter."

"You really don't know?" Ji Feibai was still a little incredulous.

Huo Nanxiao said, "I don't have as much free time as you."

"Tsk, that's such a pity! I've been reading all the gossip this morning!" Ji Feibai got carried away and immediately started gossiping with everyone. "You guys don't know, the Zhao family took a fancy to Li Yancheng and was planning to introduce their daughter to him. But when the news came out, Zhao Jinran cried her eyes out and was heartbroken."

Fu Xiyu asked, "How did you know?"

Ji Feibai: "Your sister said that?"

“Fu Mingyan?” Fu Xiyu frowned.

Ji Feibai said, "Yes, isn't she in that socialite group? Everyone in the group knows that Li Yancheng is interested in Xia Ningxi."

"It's fortunate that nothing serious happened to Wanwan after she was arrested. It's also thanks to Li Yancheng that his target was Xia Ningxi and he didn't harm Wanwan. Otherwise, Wanwan would probably be in grave danger. We really have to thank Xia Ningxi for this."

Ji Feibai glanced at Xia Wanwan as he said this.

Xia Wanwan said, "I know it's all thanks to Ning Xi's sacrifice. If it weren't for her, I probably wouldn't have survived. But when did Ning Xi get together with Li Yancheng? Did they know each other a long time ago?"

"Who knows?" Ji Feibai wondered.

Logically speaking, Li Yancheng shouldn't be someone who falls in love so easily. He's only been in the capital for a short time and has only met Xia Ningxi twice. He shouldn't like Xia Ningxi.

Ji Feibai asked Huo Nanxiao, "Nanxiao, you should know the most about this, right? Do you know what's going on between Xia Ningxi and Li Yancheng?"

"I don't know," Huo Nanxiao replied with a gloomy face.

Ji Feibai was surprised: "You didn't know either? Didn't you and Xia Ningxi have a pretty good relationship before?"

"It's not good," Huo Nanxiao denied, his face ashen.

Ji Feibai said, "I originally thought Xia Ningxi liked you, but I didn't expect it wasn't true. Now it seems she likes Li Yancheng a little more, otherwise people outside wouldn't be spreading such rumors. I also heard that Xia Ningxi went to the Li family last night and stayed overnight. It seems their relationship is developing quite well..."

"Really?" Chu Chu, who had been silent all along, asked with her big eyes.

Ji Feibai said, "It should be true."

"Is Li Yancheng rich?" Chu Chu asked again.

Ji Feibai said, "Of course there is. The Li family is a large family, and they have plenty of money!"

"Wow, if my mommy marries him, will she become very, very rich? Will I become very, very rich too?" Chu Chu asked enviously.

Ji Feibai: "Really?"

"Wow!" Chu Chu was very excited.

Huo Nanxiao slapped Chu Chu's bottom in displeasure.

"Why did you hit me?" Chu Chu asked angrily.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Don't you already have a daddy? What, do you want to find another one?"

"My daddy is long dead, can't I find someone rich?" Chu Chu asked in her childish voice.

Huo Nanxiao: "No."

Chu Chu said, "Uncle Huo, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."

Huo Nanxiao was angered by the little girl. He said, "Have you forgotten about being kidnapped before? Li Yancheng is no good. If you had fallen into his hands, you would have been cut up and fed to the fish sooner or later."

"No way! Uncle Li is so good to me. When I'm at his house, I have endless snacks and drinks, as well as all kinds of desserts and cakes. He's so generous. He has the chef make us all sorts of delicious food every day," Chu Chu explained, unconvinced.

Huo Nanxiao: "That's because I'm here, so he doesn't dare to mistreat you."

"Uncle Huo has such a big face..." Chu Chu muttered softly.

Ji Feibai laughed heartily.

Huo Nanxiao pinched Chu Chu's little face, "Do you still want your money?"

"This is all my money! What do you want to do with it!" The little toddler clutched his money warily, terrified.

Huo Nanxiao said, "If you talk back again, you won't get a single penny."

"I didn't talk back," the little girl muttered softly.

Huo Nanxiao's handsome face was so gloomy it was almost frightening.

Chu Chu didn't want to pay any attention to Huo Nanxiao at all, and continued to ask Ji Feibai: "Uncle Ji, then what? Tell me quickly, how rich is Li Yancheng? How many piggy banks could their family have?"

Ji Feibai: "I estimate that even a whole room wouldn't be enough to fit it all."

"Wow!" Chu Chu exclaimed enviously.

Ji Feibai smiled.

Huo Nanxiao suddenly picked up the little girl in his arms and said coldly, "I have something to do, I'm leaving first."

Then they took Chu Chu away!

The little girl was very uncooperative. She struggled several times but couldn't break free from Huo Nanxiao's arms. Frustrated, she raised her little fists and punched Huo Nanxiao.

"Behave yourself," Huo Nanxiao ordered.

Chu Chu said in her childish voice, "I'm not leaving! I haven't asked all the questions yet."

"What's the point of asking? Your mother will never be able to marry into the Li family. Just give up on that idea."

The man's voice was cold and devoid of any warmth.

Chu Chu was very unconvinced: "I don't believe what you're saying. Uncle Ji said that Li Yancheng likes my mommy very much, and he's very rich. I like rich uncles."

"It's no use if you like it; I won't give it to you even if I have the money," Huo Nanxiao sneered.

Chu Chu said, "That's not necessarily true. Chu Chu is so well-behaved and cute. Uncle Li might just lose his mind one day and give me some money."

Huo Nanxiao said, "Give up on that idea. No one in this world will treat you unconditionally well, let alone give you money, except for me."

"Nonsense, you're not nice to me at all," Chu Chu retorted.

Huo Nanxiao placed the little girl on his desk and asked, "Where have I treated you badly? Didn't I give you all that money?"

The little toddler, clutching a briefcase full of money, said in a childish voice, "I earned this myself, it wasn't given to me by you."

Huo Nanxiao's temples throbbed.

Chu Chu said, "Uncle Huo, I want to go home. I want to go back and play with my brother and the others."

"I'll take you home later," Huo Nanxiao replied.

Chu Chu asked, "What time is 'later'? I need to go back now."

Huo Nanxiao: "I get off work at five o'clock."

Chu Chu didn't want to wait and threw a tantrum: "I don't want to wait until five o'clock. I want to go home now. I want to go home."

Just then, Ye Su pushed open the door and reported to Huo Nanxiao: "President, the CEO of Anqing Company has arrived and is waiting for you in the VIP room."

“Okay, tell him I’ll be there in ten minutes,” Huo Nanxiao told Ye Su.

Ye Su nodded and quickly retreated.

Chu Chu pouted her little mouth, looked at Huo Nanxiao pitifully, and was about to cry.
