Chapter 256: Saved a life, but...

Yao Shulan was stunned for a moment: "How do you know the Xiao family?"

The two of them never mentioned anything about the Xiao family in front of Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Jiang Xiaoxiao sneered: "Don't worry about how I know it, I just know it. The Xiao family invited us to attend 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 over?"

"Twenty-three years have passed. How could Xiao Qishan have possibly been able to tell whether the baby he saw at that time was Jiang Ciyou or me?"

Jiang Jinhui was also very surprised.

I didn't expect Jiang Xiaoxiao knew about things that 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 lock he gave her. And the longevity lock is now in Ciyou. If she doesn't go, it will be meaningless."

A smug smile appeared on Jiang Xiaoxiao's face.

She took out a jewel box from her bag and asked, "Dad, is this what you are talking about?"

Jiang Jinhui took the box.

Open it and take a look.

Inside was a transparent, pink longevity lock.

Jiang Jinhui's face was full of surprise.

"How did this pink lock end up in your place?"

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 face changed.

If she really admitted that she stole Jiang Ciyou's longevity lock.

Given Yao Shulan's current attitude towards her, she might ask her to return it.

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 I give it to you?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao tried to sow discord: "Jiang Ciyou doesn't care about it at all. She said that if she gave it to me, she wouldn't owe the Jiang family anything. She is now the young lady of the Bo family. With the Bo family's wealth, she doesn't care how valuable this jade locket is."

The light in Yao Shulan's eyes dimmed little by little.

It seems more like Jiang Ciyou's personality.

There are some things that she has figured out and she doesn't bother to argue about them.

Jiang Xiaoxiao saw through her thoughts completely: "If you don't believe me, call Jiang Ciyou now."

Seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao so determined, 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 go to Xiao's house with us 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 worried: "But you have to remember to talk less 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: "It's not enough to just like you. It would be even better if I could use this opportunity to let the Xiao family adopt you as their goddaughter."

Jiang Xiaoxiao's brows wrinkled: "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 minister 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 talented? 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 son of the Xiao family is Xiao Qinglin, who is already 30 years old this year, but he has been attending 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 serve as the district chief of Kyoto. This is a position with real power comparable to that of the mayor. He is also the youngest district chief of Kyoto. 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 is a new elite in the business circle. A few years ago, he emerged out of nowhere and founded Sirui Technology. He developed the social platform with the most users on the Internet, as well as several popular game softwares around the world. He made a lot of money from software. In just a few years, with just one company, he ranked fifth on the list of the world's richest young people, second only to Bo Jinxiu."

Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkled: "The most important thing is that he started from scratch and started his own business. He did not rely on the Xiao family's traditional business. Of course, he is currently in charge of the Xiao family's business. He is a true business genius. In my eyes, he is no worse than Bo Jinxiu."

"The third child of the Xiao family is more mysterious. There is no information about him at present. We only know that he and the fourth child of the Xiao family, Xiao Hefan, are twin brothers. You should also know Xiao Hefan, a Chinese superstar, the most favored Hollywood darling among Asian faces. He was just nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor some time ago. Although he is not developing in China, his fans are all over the world. His popularity in China is even far higher than that of the National Film Actor 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 four sons of the Xiao family is fine. Of course, my favorite is Xiao Qinglin. Although he is already 30 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 the top."

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. You will make a fool of yourself later."

Jiang Xiaoxiao was unhappy after hearing this: "Jiang Ciyou, this 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 is not a good soldier. Xiaoxiao has something to aspire to think so. Besides, the relationship between men and women is sometimes hard to say. I think we might as well give it a try. If we succeed, we will be able to ascend to the sky in one step. Even if we fail, it's nothing."

He then instructed Jiang Xiaoxiao: "The day after tomorrow, the Xiao family will hold a family dinner. You should prepare well and buy some beautiful clothes and jewelry. If you don't have enough money, you can withdraw it from the company's account. 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, Jiang Ciyou had just hung up the phone when 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. After a day and a night of rescue in the LCUS, her life was finally saved, but..."
