Chapter 210 - 210: Xiaoxi, You’ve Become A Rich Woman
Then, he took half a step back and put some distance between them.
His actions were immediately picked up by the others.
“Big Brother, are you looking down on our little princess?” The second son, Yuan Luochen, was trying to sow discord.
Yuan Xudong glared at him coldly.
He did not defend himself.
Yuan Luochen took a step forward and smiled seductively, “Xiaoxi, let me help you get some things.”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.
He was trying to get closer to Ye Xiaoxi.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaoxi avoided him.
Yuan Luochen’s hand suddenly hung in mid-air, feeling rather awkward.
Ye Xiaoxi was not familiar with him, but she could tell that he was hostile toward Yuan Xudong. She had embarrassed Yuan Xudong in front of everyone. Wasn’t she repaying kindness with ingratitude?
Ye Xiaoxi turned around and shoved a portion of the gifts into Yuan Xudong’s arms.
“Uncle, thank you for helping me just now.”
It was obvious that she preferred Yuan Xudong.
Yuan Luochen’s face was even more dismal.
Someone in the crowd chuckled.
Yuan Luochen’s already ugly expression instantly darkened.
He paused for a few seconds and asked sharply, “Who’s laughing? Stand out!”
When everyone saw that he was angry, how would they dare to be impudent again?
Silence fell.
Yuan Luochen blocked the door, not allowing anyone to enter.
He was clearly unhappy with Ye Xiaoxi’s rejection and was deliberately trying to intimidate her.
Jiang Yining was about to step forward to resolve the awkward situation.
But before she could step forward, Yuan Xudong took the lead and said seriously, “We’re a family. Can’t we laugh? Father will bring Elizabeth and her daughter back later. What do you think he will think if he sees us at the door like this?”
After a few sentences, Yuan Luochen took the initiative to step aside.
Yuan Xudong walked in without saying a word.
Ye Xiaoxi hurriedly brought Jiang Yining and Xiao Yeyu along with her.
Yuan Luochen waited for everyone to leave, then said with a gloomy face, “B*tch, you just rely on the old master’s favor and you don’t know how to appreciate someone’s kindness. Hmph, when I take the position of the Yuan family’s head, I’ll teach you a lesson!”
Among the eight sons of the Yuan family, the strongest were the eldest son, Yuan Xudong, the second son, Yuan Luochen, and the sixth son, Yuan Qingan. Yuan Qingan was sent overseas not long ago and would take some time to return.
Yuan Luochen’s mind was naturally active. He wanted to take advantage of Sixth Brother’s absence to compete with Big Brother.
He heard that Elizabeth and her daughter had come to A-City with the intention of getting her daughter to marry into the Yuan family.
Elizabeth was the Yuan family’s biggest partner.
Whoever married their daughter would, to a large extent, be the next heir that the old master had decided on!
Therefore, pleasing Ye Xiaoxi was secondary.
The most important thing was to marry the daughter of the Elizabeth family, Qianqian!
Yuan Luochen thought of this and revealed a disdainful smile.
He did not take Ye Xiaoxi seriously at all.
Under Uncle Fu and Yuan Xudong’s guidance, Ye Xiaoxi and the entire Yuan family got to know each other.
Then, the housekeeper brought her to her bedroom to check.
Jiang Yining and Xiao Yeyu also went along.
“Miss, this is the place.”
The housekeeper opened the door.
Ye Xiaoxi walked in with the gifts in her arms, her eyes filled with amazement.
This was really beautiful.
The room was mainly white and had a romantic princess style. There were things that young women liked in every place.
The dome was blue and decorated with gemstones. It was unknown how the designer did it, but all the gemstones were sparkling like the night sky.
Jiang Yining had seen many beautiful rooms.
However, when she saw Ye Xiaoxi’s bedroom, she was impressed.
“Your grandfather really did put in a lot of effort.”
“Yeah.”
Ye Xiaoxi was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.
She had never enjoyed such treatment since she was young.
At this moment, she finally felt that she was truly loved.
Xiao Yeyu looked at the magnificent scene in front of her eyes. This was a real noble family.
Compared to the Yuan family, the Xiao family was nothing!
Her brother always asked her why she was still desperately trying to climb up the social ladder when she already had money and status.
This was the reason!
Xiao Yeyu’s heart was filled with envy and jealousy.
The housekeeper said, “Miss, you should be tired. Why don’t you rest with your friends? I’ll get the maids to prepare some drinks and fruit for you. Take your time to chat. I’ll inform you when the old master returns.”
“Alright, thank you,” said Ye Xiaoxi.
“Miss, you’re being too polite. No matter what I do, it’s my duty.”
The housekeeper bowed slightly and left the room.
Not long after, the maid pushed a cart in. There were all kinds of drinks on it, all of which were world-class.
The fruits were all fresh from all over the world.
It tasted different.
Xiao Yeyu drank the drink, and her mind became more active.
In the past, she felt that the Yuan family was not clean and could not compare to the Lu family. However, Ye Xiaoxi’s life in the Yuan family was much better than she had imagined.
If she could marry one of the sons of the Yuan family, it would not be bad.
But it was just a thought.
She knew that the Yuan family would definitely not like her and would not marry her at all.
After the three of them finished eating, Ye Xiaoxi lay on the bed and sighed comfortably, “Wow, this bed is so soft. I’ve never slept on such a soft bed in my life.”
Xiao Yeyu walked to the bed.
She lifted the bedsheet and looked at it, then started calculating seriously.
“This is top-quality velvet. It costs around twenty thousand dollars. They’ve laid out nearly thirty of them at once. How can your bed not be soft?”
Ye Xiaoxi was speechless.
So expensive?
When she was poor in the future, she could secretly take her own bedsheets and sell them.
After Xiao Yeyu finished speaking, she walked to Ye Xiaoxi’s dressing table and opened the jewelry box. Her eyes lit up as she said, “Xiaoxi, everything here is so luxurious. I’ve wanted to buy this bracelet for a long time, but I couldn’t bear to buy it.”
As she spoke, she put the bracelet on her wrist.
“Look, how beautiful.”
Ye Xiaoxi also liked it, but seeing how much she loved it, she decided to give it up.
“I’ll give it to you.”
“Really? This is very expensive. I can’t accept it.”
Xiao Yeyu wanted to take it off and put it back.
Ye Xiaoxi said, “We’re good friends, so giving you a bracelet is no big deal. Just accept it.”
Xiao Yeyu stopped and said gratefully, “Xiaoxi, you’re so good to me.”
Ye Xiaoxi smiled shyly.
Jiang Yining coldly watched Xiao Yeyu’s acting and did not say anything.
“Yining, do you want to take a look and take whatever you like?” Ye Xiaoxi said.
“No need. Lu Zhi has bought so much for me, I can’t even wear it all.”
Jiang Yining was not as thick-skinned as Xiao Yeyu.
This was the first time she accompanied a friend home to acknowledge her family and ancestors, and she even forcefully tried to get a gift.
“Alright then.” Ye Xiaoxi didn’t force her. She got up from the bed and squatted in front of the pile of gift boxes. She said, “Let’s open it and see what they gave.”
The name of the giver was written on each gift.
At first, Ye Xiaoxi thought that the gifts they gave her were very good. However, after opening more than 20 of them, her hands were numb.
She couldn’t hold it anymore and sighed.
“Why did they give me so many expensive things? It’s not as good as money.”
She was used to being poor, so she preferred money.
These gifts would eventually be exchanged for money by her.
While she was muttering, she saw Yuan Xudong’s gift box. It was a very small one.
Ye Xiaoxi picked it up and felt that it was very light. She was even more curious about what he had given her.
Thus, she used the knife to open the box.
In the end, a piece of paper fell out.
“Eh?” Ye Xiaoxi picked it up and was stunned when she saw the number written on it. Then, she smiled and said, “A cheque.”
Finally! A simple and direct person!
She liked it!
Xiao Yeyu came over and covered her mouth when she saw the number.
“Eight million. Xiaoxi, you’re rich now.
“Yeah.”
Including the ten million that Grandpa gave her, she had nearly twenty million!
If this continued, wouldn’t she become a billionaire?
Ye Xiaoxi grinned.
There was a knock on the door.
“Please come in.”
The housekeeper opened the door and looked at Ye Xiaoxi. The housekeeper said, “Miss, Old Master is back. Elizabeth and her daughter also came along.”
“Oh!”
Ye Xiaoxi could not wait to see her grandfather.
She stood up from the ground.
The housekeeper was afraid that she did not know Elizabeth’s identity, so the housekeeper especially reminded her a few times.
“I know. I’ll be polite.” Ye Xiaoxi smiled brightly as she assured the housekeeper.
The housekeeper then looked at Jiang Yining and Xiao Yeyu and said, “Our old master has invited the two of you over as well..”
