Seeing her eyes crinkling with joy as she smiled, Xiao Luoan couldn't help but smile too, his dark, deep eyes naturally curving upwards.
It's clear that Xiao Luoan's smile is genuine.
Perhaps it was because the paralysis had been weighing on his mind for too long.
When Shen Zhi came in after finishing his call, he saw his boss's smile.
The boss is happy, and so is he.
"Chen Zhi, transfer two hundred million to this young lady." Xiao Luoan paused when she mentioned this young lady, as she didn't even know her name.
When Si Jinyan heard "two hundred million", he thought he had misheard and hurriedly waved his hand, saying, "What two hundred million? I only want two hundred thousand."
She was afraid of feeling guilty taking two hundred million, so she just used a ritual to ward off evil spirits. If it were someone from the village, she could have easily gotten away with it for two hundred.
He only asked for 200,000 because he had money.
If it were 200 million, she would really feel unworthy of it.
"The legs of the Xiao family heir are worth two hundred million." Si Jiangyu said unhappily at the door, his arms crossed as he leaned against the doorframe.
Xiao Luoan nodded in agreement with Si Jiangyu's words, her gentle eyes looking at Si Jinyan, and said, "It is indeed worth it."
Si Jinyan never dreamed that her assets would suddenly increase from one million to two hundred million. The unreal feeling made her feel a little giddy.
She tiptoed closer to Xiao Luoan, looking directly into his deep eyes, and only then did she notice that Xiao Luoan had a faint beauty mark at the corner of his left eye.
She quickly forgot about Xiao Luoan's beauty mark; that wasn't the point. The point was, "You're not going to back out later, are you?" That's two hundred million!
Seeing that she seemed somewhat incredulous, Xiao Luoan parted his thin lips slightly and told Shen Zhi to handle the transfer of 200 million yuan, which might still take some time.
However, assets like theirs are always handled through a super VIP channel, "through a private account."
Xiao Luoan added another sentence, and Shen Zhi nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, boss, thank you, boss." After receiving a definite answer, Si Jinyan happily let go of Xiao Luoan's shoulder.
Xiao Luoan gestured for Shen Zhi to hand over his phone, "Can I add you on WeChat? You can send me your payment account later."
He clicked to scan the QR code. How could Si Jinyan not add it? Not adding it would mean losing two hundred million!
After adding each other as friends, Si Jinyan sent his name to the sender.
"My name is Si Jinyan. Boss, if you ever need fortune telling, face reading, ghost catching, or exorcism services, you can come to me. My prices are absolutely fair!"
Si Jinyan now looks at Xiao Luoan like she's a god of wealth, as if she's throwing around two hundred million at a time.
She was happy, but the money came too quickly, and it felt somewhat unreal to her.
Taoism emphasizes cause and effect; one reaps what one sows, and it is unsettling to accept excess.
"Just give me 200,000 yuan, and donate the rest," Si Jinyan said through tears, her heart bleeding.
There was no way around it; this was money she earned through mystical arts, unlike the money she made as a stunt double. She felt perfectly justified in taking that money.
Xiao Luoan took in the little girl's expression perfectly; she clearly didn't want to part with the money, yet she was reluctant to donate it.
He said in his pleasant voice, "Then so be it."
Before leaving, Si Jinyan repeatedly reminded him that his leg was not fully healed and that he must take care of himself and massage his leg every day. Chen Zhi stood aside and said that he had remembered everything.
Then Si Jinyan followed Si Jiangyu and left the floor.
Xiao Luoan sat in her wheelchair, her face calm, her raven-feather eyelashes fluttering, lost in thought.
It was Shen Zhi who brought up the matter of his phone call to Xiao Tingyun.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Luoan immediately said, "I'm keeping my leg problem a secret from everyone. I need to find evidence that he harmed me first."
"The chairman just said the same thing, telling us to lure the snake out of its hole." Shen Zhi didn't expect that the boss and the chairman would have the same idea.
Xiao Luoan wasn't surprised that her father would do this, mainly because that person had been making too much of a fuss lately.
Moreover, the Jiang family is no saint either. He had to get his mother to give up the marriage. He didn't even know who had suggested this marriage to bring good luck.
Si Jinyan and his sister took the elevator downstairs. He had a sullen face the whole way, and Si Jinyan quickly noticed his senior brother's low mood.
She gently poked Si Jiangyu's back and asked softly, "Senior Brother, are you angry?"
As for why he was angry, Si Jinyan had no idea.
Si Jiangyu turned his head and saw her bright eyes. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "You can't like Xiao Luoan. Look, he's six years older than you. He's an old man."
Si Jinyan was completely confused by these words. Why would she like Xiao Luoan?
She wanted the two hundred million, even though she only received two hundred thousand in the end.
Her heart was aching!
"Senior Brother, you're too nervous," Si Jinyan said in a low voice. How could he possibly like Xiao Luoan, even though he was very handsome?
It's the kind of beautiful that's really unique.
Si Jiangyu's tightly furrowed brows did not relax at all when he heard her answer.
He was a man, and he knew what it meant for a man to let his guard down around a woman.
Even if Xiao Luoan doesn't currently like his junior sister, he definitely has feelings for her.
Hopefully, they won't meet again after this. Otherwise, with Xiao Luo'an's looks, wealth, and demeanor, he couldn't guarantee that his junior sister would remain chaste.
"It's still my senior brother's fault for being incompetent." After thinking it over, Si Jiangyu still attributed the mistake to himself. He was not powerful enough, which was why he had to rely on the Xiao family to bring down the Jiang family.
Si Jinyan had no idea what his senior brother was imagining. "Senior brother has become a renowned surgeon at the Imperial Hospital at such a young age. How can you say you're not capable?"
Si Jiangyu turned and glanced at her, a hint of regret appearing on his handsome face.
He had a premonition that his daughter might be taken away by Xiao Luoan.
No, he had to take precautions and prevent them from seeing each other again.
It was almost noon, and Si Jiangyu planned to take her out for lunch.
"Don't eat vegetables, eat meat." Si Jinyan emphasized this in the car. Now that her second senior brother wasn't here, she would definitely break down if her eldest senior brother gave her some vegetables.
Si Jiangyu was about to fasten her seatbelt when Si Jinyan interrupted him, saying, "I'm not a child anymore, I know how to fasten it."
As he spoke, he pulled her close and buttoned her up. She was already nineteen years old, yet he still treated her like a child.
This made her feel like she was a useless piece of trash, a little good-for-nothing who didn't even know the basics of life.
Seeing that she looked unwell and troubled, Si Jiangyu thought of what she had just mentioned about eating meat, and realized that he hadn't replied to her about it yet.
Si Jiangyu felt that he had to adopt a gentle approach towards his junior sister to prevent her from being seduced by other men, so he agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, let's eat meat."
Si Jinyan's expression relaxed after receiving those words.
