The room fell silent again, and with Leng Luo's departure, the matter was practically over.
Fu Xihan resumed his aloof demeanor and apologized to Qiao Ruoyun.
"Although there was a reason for it, it was indeed my fault. I had no intention of offending you, and I hope Miss Qiao will forgive me."
Looking at the girl with red, swollen eyes from crying, Fu Xihan felt a pang of guilt and said that he would accept any compensation terms as long as she asked.
Qiao Ruoyun, like a startled fawn, frantically shook her head and waved her hands.
"No, no, I don't want any compensation."
Fu Xihan lowered his eyes, knowing that she was resisting and afraid of him, so he didn't say anything more. He thought that since she was in the entertainment industry, he would have the opportunity to take care of her more in the future.
Fu Xihan also thanked Li Xin'er and Lu Peiting. Lu Peiting remained aloof, saying it was nothing, while Li Xin'er was much more practical.
"Yes, yes, it's just a small favor. You can give me whatever you think is appropriate, just a little bit."
These words left Fu Xihan speechless.
Lu Peiting and the others present were also caught off guard; none of them expected her to speak so bluntly.
Logically speaking, given her status in the entertainment industry, she shouldn't be short of money, right?
Therefore, everyone concluded that Li Xin'er was so angry tonight that she wanted the Fu family to bleed money, and that she did it on purpose.
If Li Xin'er knew what they were thinking, she'd roll her eyes to the heavens. You're overthinking it, buddy!
She simply thought the Fu family was rich, and she wanted to buy supplies with as much money as possible. She figured she might as well take advantage of any opportunity to make money, especially since she had spent the whole night fussing over it.
Fu Xihan nodded without hesitation. He felt that it would be best if the debt of gratitude could be repaid with money.
Downstairs at the hotel, Li Xin'er, holding two checks for five million yuan, got into her van and waved with a smile to Lu Peiting and Qiao Ruoyun, who were still waiting for their car.
"Senior Lu, little Yunyun~ Bye-bye~"
Lu Peiting remained aloof and nodded, while Qiao Ruoyun waved to Li Xin'er.
"Sister Xin, be careful on the road."
After Li Xin'er's nanny car left, the car that was supposed to pick up Lu Peiting arrived. After Lu Peiting left, Qiao Ruoyun stood there, still feeling a little dizzy.
Looking back on what had just happened, she felt like she was dreaming.
Just now, after Li Xin'er spoke, Fu Xihan immediately had his assistant bring over a check and wrote it down. Although he knew Lu Peiting's identity, he couldn't give it to Lu Peiting if he gave it to Li Xin'er.
After all, Li Xin'er kept referring to the people we saved.
After writing the checks for them, Qiao Ruoyun was even less likely to refuse, so she wrote three checks for five million.
When Lu Peiting and Qiao Ruoyun both declined, Li Xin'er took the three checks.
"Since Mr. Fu insists on being so polite, I can't refuse."
Fu Xihan smiled.
"Of course."
Fifteen million is nothing to him.
But Li Xin'er is truly surprising...
His gaze toward Li Xin'er held a newfound inquisitiveness.
Li Xin'er had no time to pay attention to his little schemes, and forcefully stuffed the checks into Lu Peiting and Qiao Ruoyun's hands respectively.
"Let's go home!"
The three entered the elevator. Lu Peiting took a check out of his breast pocket, glanced at it with two fingers, and casually tossed it to Li Xin'er.
"I don't need it."
Li Xin'er's eyes lit up. There are people who don't charge money?
He doesn't want it, but she does! She's not being polite at all.
"Then I'll reluctantly accept it for Senior Lu."
With an extra five million, we can buy a lot more supplies.
Qiao Ruoyun, clutching the check, was about to speak as well.
“Xin…”
Before she could even utter the word "sister," Li Xin'er waved her hand impatiently.
"Keep it to yourself, don't bother me with everything."
Let's forget about the female lead; after all, she's not as rich as the original owner, and besides, she suffered the biggest loss tonight.
And so, Qiao Ruoyun left, dazed, with a check for five million.
In the car, Li Xin'er's assistant, Mengmeng, asked:
"Sister Xin, how was the party tonight? Was it fun?"
Li Xin'er took off her high heels, put on the slippers provided in the car, and spoke with considerable certainty.
"Fun! Of course it's fun!"
They've made 10 million from this, how could it not be fun?
Upon hearing this, Mengmeng casually replied:
"Sister Xia was worried that you were drunk when she called, so she asked us to come pick you up early."
Li Xin'er leaned back, holding her phone to reply to messages, and casually said,
"Didn't drink much wine, but ate quite a lot of melons!"
Mengmeng was curious and was about to ask what was going on, but seeing that Li Xin'er had already put her phone to her ear and was calling someone, she didn't say anything to disturb her.
"Yes, it's me."
"Yes, I urgently need to get the funds back; the money must be in my hands within this month."
Li Xin'er was talking on the phone when Mengmeng and Liu Lei, who was driving, were both shocked. What was Sister Xin about to do?
"I'll list three villas, six duplex apartments, five boutique four-bedroom apartments, and a few storefronts. The prices vary greatly depending on the location. I'll send you all the detailed information together."
"There are also some jewelry and calligraphy and paintings."
"Yes, I approached you because I trust your company's reputation. If this matter is handled well, I will still appoint you as my agent for future investments."
"Sure, no problem."
"Um."
After Li Xin'er hummed in agreement and hung up the phone, she noticed Mengmeng's stunned expression and couldn't help but smile.
"What? Are you dumbfounded?"
Mengmeng snapped out of her daze and shook her head frantically.
"No, Sister Xin, what are you planning to do? Why would you suddenly want to sell the house?"
Liu Lei, who was driving, also struck up a conversation.
"Has Sister Xin discussed some new project? The market situation isn't good right now, so we should do our research and be more cautious."
