Chapter 85: A Pitfall



Xu Zhaoyue glanced at the time and realized it was almost time. "Let's go, we've been chatting so much we've lost track of time."

Actually, Yue Lanxing's timing was just right. Xu Zhaoyue went back, washed up, and lay down on the bed at her usual bedtime. However, she couldn't sleep now. "Hey, Xiao Nan, don't go yet." Xu Zhaoyue sat up again.

"Miss, is there anything else you need?" Xiao Nan turned around and asked.

Xu Zhaoyue patted the bed. "Sit here. I have something to ask you." Xiao Nan sat down. "I know you're upset, Miss. You didn't even get a banquet for the heir. If you have something to say, just tell Xiao Nan."

"Although Xiao Nan isn't very smart, she will definitely do what Miss says." As soon as Xiao Nan sat down, she took Xu Zhaoyue's hand, which left Xu Zhaoyue stunned.

Xu Zhaoyue had almost forgotten what grievances she had suffered, but Xiao Nan was actually feeling sorry for her. For a moment, she didn't know what to say, so she could only hug Xiao Nan.

"Alright, alright, actually I wasn't bullied. Didn't I become the heir?" Xu Zhaoyue wiped away Xiaonan's tears.

"Who says that there are benefits but not injustices? My young lady is the heir, and she has to suffer injustices to become one? That's not right!" Xiao Nan's eyes widened in protest.

Xu Zhaoyue spent half an hour hugging and kissing Xiaonan. When Xiaonan went back, she finally had a smile on her face. Xu Zhaoyue had forgotten what she wanted to say when she first called her over.

The next day, as soon as Xiao Nan got up, she went to find Aunt Wu. Aunt Wu and Uncle Sun had their own courtyard, and the two of them were wondering what to do that day when Xiao Nan came over.

Anyway, Xiaonan returned to the villa happily in the end, and Aunt Wu went out for a while in the evening.

Xu Zhaoyue has been very busy lately. The news about the welfare home has made it into the newspapers again. Several reporters wanted to interview Xu Zhaoyue, and she chose three, including reporter Zhu.

After the interview, reporter Zhu went to see Yue Lanxing. After seeing the photos he gave her, Yue Lanxing brought him to Xu Zhaoyue's place. "Miss, this is a box that reporter Zhu's friend bought."

Xu Zhaoyue took the photo and saw that it was indeed their suitcase. "The suitcase has already been bought?"

"Yes, my friend said he just wants money, but he hasn't figured out who can pay more." Reporter Zhu was drinking with his friend and the more he listened, the more it seemed to be something from the Xu family, so he asked for a photo.

Xu Zhaoyue thought for a while, "I'll buy it, but the price is outrageous. Since you're my friend, I'll have to trouble you. Lanxing, wait for Reporter Zhu to finish negotiating, then go and get the box back."

"However, Ms. Zhu, please tell your friends that it was bought by Xu Zhaoming, and don't reveal my information," Xu Zhaoyue instructed.

Reporter Zhu readily agreed, saying that if he could close the deal, he would receive a considerable sum. "Sure, sure, I'll go back to him right away."

The price negotiation will be handled by reporter Zhu. Xu Zhaoyue can just wait for news, but while she waits for news, she also has other things to do.

"Once the box is back, arrange for someone to sell it to Xu Zhaoming for an extra amount of money. Just go through Assistant Qi; Xu Zhaoming will listen to him now." Xu Zhaoyue took the box out again.

Yue Lanxing asked, puzzled, "Then how did they give away the information in the box? What if Xu Zhaoming doesn't reveal anything after getting the box?"

"There's a mechanism in the box. If you force it open, the ink sac inside will explode. You can have Assistant Qi accidentally operate it. Whether she says anything or not is fine. This thing is useless to me, but it might be useful to her."

"Hey, remember to swindle her out of some money," Xu Zhaoyue emphasized.

Yue Lanxing felt that the young lady was like a cunning fox. She couldn't guess what she was thinking, but she always wanted to. "Okay, I'll take care of it."

In the end, Xu Zhaoming used his own savings to buy it, which reduced his assets somewhat. Assistant Qi only revealed the information to Xu Zhaoming, and everything went smoothly afterward.

"Manager Xu, how do we open this box? We don't know the password." Assistant Qi and Xu Zhaoming retrieved the box together.

Xu Zhaoming slammed his hand on the box. "This thing cost me so much money, and I still can't open it? What kind of valuable information is this? I should have known better than to let someone steal it."

"Hey Manager Xu, that person who helped you should be punished. They did a really bad job," Assistant Qi chimed in from the side.

"Huh? Her? There's nothing much to say."

When Assistant Qi saw Xu Zhaoming stammering, he would have been furious by now. He couldn't understand why Xu was treating someone who had made a mistake this way. He even asked Yue Lanxing about it when he was talking to her.

"You don't want to know, so don't ask about it. If you can't find an opportunity to ask about that box, then forget about it. You are worth several boxes more than that box."

Yue Lanxing didn't say what happened to the maid. Assistant Qi understood and didn't ask any further. Xu Zhaoming continued to work as a manager in the company as if nothing had happened. Someone else had suffered for her.

After getting through this busy period, Xu Zhaoyue finally remembered the Yuehua cruise ship. She had booked a top-tier cabin for half a month, with a trip every five days; it should be time for another departure.

"We can board the Yuehua again tomorrow. I have some time, so let's pack up and go have some fun on the Yuehua."

"How many people are you taking this time?" Yue Lanxing asked.

Xu Zhaoyue thought that she definitely couldn't let Aunt Wu and Uncle Sun go this time. Only Xiao Nan and Yue Lanxing were necessary. "Have Xiao Nan choose among the maids. Let's bring six bodyguards. The number is auspicious."

Yue Lanxing agreed and went back to tell Xiao Nan that she had entrusted the matter to her. She was very efficient. As for the bodyguards, in addition to Xue Huzi and Tian Dai, four more need to be selected.
