Chapter 256 Saved a life, but...
Yao Shulan was stunned for a moment: "How do you know about the Xiao family?"
The two of them had never mentioned anything about the Xiao family in front of Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Jiang Xiaoxiao sneered: "Don't worry about how I know this, I just know it. The Xiao family invited us to a family dinner in two days. This is the last and only chance. Jiang Ciyou is unwilling to help, so won't you take me with you?"
"Twenty-three years have passed anyway. How could Xiao Qishan possibly tell whether the cradle he saw back then was Jiang Ciyou or me?"
Jiang Jinhui was also very surprised.
I didn’t expect that Jiang Xiaoxiao even knew what happened more than 20 years ago.
But after thinking for a while, Jiang Jinhui said coldly: "It's not as simple as you think. The Xiao family not only wants to see the child, but also wants to see the jade locket he gave them. The longevity locket is now with Ciyou. If she doesn't go, it will be meaningless."
A smug smile appeared on Jiang Xiaoxiao's face.
She took out a brocade box from her bag and asked, "Dad, is this what you are talking about?"
Jiang Jinhui took the brocade box.
Open it and take a look.
Inside was a transparent, pink longevity lock.
Jiang Jinhui's face was full of surprise.
"How come this pink longevity lock is here with you?"
When Yao Shulan heard this, she quickly stood up and walked over.
"Xiaoxiao, what happened? Did you steal Ciyou's longevity lock?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao's expression changed.
If she really admitted that she stole Jiang Ciyou's longevity lock.
Considering Yao Shulan's current attitude towards her, maybe she would give it back.
Jiang Xiaoxiao could only lie: "Who said I stole it? I asked Jiang Ciyou for it. This longevity lock should have been mine, right? If we hadn't been switched, wouldn't this lock belong to me?"
Yao Shulan was half-believing and half-doubting: "Will Ciyou give it to you?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao tried to sow discord: "Jiang Ciyou doesn't want it at all. She said that if she gives it to me, she won't owe the Jiang family anything. She is now the young mistress of the Bo family. With the Bo family's wealth rivaling that of a country, she doesn't care how much this jade lock is worth."
The light in Yao Shulan's eyes dimmed little by little.
It seems more like Jiang Ciyou's personality.
Once she figured out some things, she didn't bother to argue about them.
Jiang Xiaoxiao saw through her thoughts completely: "If you don't believe me, call Jiang Ciyou right now."
Seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao so confident, Yao Shulan no longer had any doubts.
When Jiang Jinhui saw the pink jade lock, his expression changed instantly.
He said, "No matter what, we can't give up this opportunity. Since you have the jade lock, you can come with us to the Xiao family the day after tomorrow night."
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Jiang Xiaoxiao's face instantly changed into a smile: "Dad, you are still the best."
But Jiang Jinhui also looked quite worried: "But you have to remember to keep quiet and don't cause trouble. Don't mess up this rare opportunity to get close to the Xiao family."
"Don't worry, I will definitely make the Xiao family like me."
Jiang Jinhui nodded: "Liking you is not enough. It would be even better if I could use this opportunity to let the Xiao family take you in as their goddaughter."
Jiang Xiaoxiao frowned: "Dad, I don't want to be the Xiao family's goddaughter."
Jiang Jinhui looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao in confusion: "You think you can become a position just because you want to, but you are still so picky."
Jiang Xiaoxiao quickly explained: "Dad, that's not what I meant. Don't you know that Xiao Qishan has four sons, none of whom are married, and all of them are of dragon and phoenix appearances? If I could marry into the Xiao family, then the situation of our Jiang family would definitely be completely different."
Jiang Jinhui was also surprised.
He has not yet conducted a detailed investigation into the Xiao family's financial situation.
But I have also heard that the Xiao family has four outstanding sons.
Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. "The eldest of the Xiao family is called Xiao Qinglin. He's 30 years old this year, but he attended military school since he was a child. It is said that he has held a high position in the military in recent years and is highly valued by the higher-ups. Just half a month ago, he was transferred to Kyoto and will soon be appointed as the regional chief of Kyoto. This is a position with real power comparable to that of a mayor. He is also the youngest regional chief in Kyoto's history. His future career is limitless."
Jiang Jinhui was very surprised.
Jiang Xiaoxiao continued, "The second son of the Xiao family, Xiao Sirui, you should have heard of him. He's a rising star in the business world. A few years ago, he burst onto the scene and founded Sirui Technology. He developed the social platform with the most users on the Internet, as well as several popular gaming software programs around the world. He made a lot of money. In just a few years, with just one company, he ranked fifth on the Global Wealth Young People List, second only to Bo Jinxiu."
Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkled. "The most important thing is that he started from scratch and did not rely on the Xiao family's traditional enterprises. Of course, he is currently in charge of the Xiao family's enterprises. He is a true business genius. In my eyes, he is no worse than Bo Jinxiu."
"The third son of the Xiao family is a bit of a mystery. Currently, there's no information about him. We only know that he and the fourth son, Xiao Hefan, are twin brothers. You should all know Xiao Hefan, a Chinese superstar and Hollywood's most beloved Asian face. He was recently nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor. Although he's not developing in China, his fans are all over the world, and his popularity in China far surpasses even that of the national film star, Si Yufeng."
Jiang Xiaoxiao's face showed a hint of excitement: "Dad, I don't want to be the Xiao family's goddaughter, I want to be their daughter-in-law. I think any of the Xiao family's four sons will be fine. Of course, my favorite is Xiao Qinglin. Although he is already thirty years old, he is the real person in power. In the future, even the Bo family will look at his face. If I can marry Xiao Qinglin, our Jiang family will definitely rise to prominence."
Yao Shulan couldn't help but hit her from the side: "Jiang Xiaoxiao, wake up a little. People like the Xiao family are not in the same class as us. Don't keep thinking about these things, or you will make a fool of yourself later."
Jiang Xiaoxiao was unhappy after hearing this: "Jiang Ciyou, a fake daughter, can marry into the Bo family. Our Jiang family is at least a well-known figure in Rongcheng. Why can't I marry into the Xiao family? Mom, you are biased."
"Jiang Xiaoxiao, can you be more realistic and stop dreaming all day long?"
"Okay, okay, stop arguing."
Jiang Jinhui said, "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier. Xiaoxiao has something to aspire to think that way. Besides, things between men and women are sometimes hard to say. I think we might as well give it a try. If we succeed, we'll all rise to the top. Even if we fail, it won't matter."
After that, he instructed Jiang Xiaoxiao: "The Xiao family's family dinner will be held the day after tomorrow. You should prepare well and buy some beautiful clothes and jewelry. If you don't have enough money, you can use the company's account to withdraw it. This time, I agree."
Jiang Xiaoxiao was overjoyed when she heard this: "Dad, I will definitely not let you down this time."
On the other side, just as Jiang Ciyou hung up the phone, Gao Cen knocked on the door and walked in.
He looked solemn, as if he had something to say.
But after seeing Jiang Ciyou, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Bo Jinxiu seemed to see through him: "Say whatever you want to say. My wife is not an outsider."
Gao Cen then spoke: "The Shen family couldn't find you, so they called the company. Shen Qingqing was in a car accident, and it was quite serious. She was rescued in the ICU for a day and a night, and finally saved her life, but..."
