After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 235 No AC Median

Chapter 235: Chapter 235 No AC Median

It’s a pity, how some people just are...

They lack any sense of moderation.

The balding man anxiously licked his lips, urging Shi Yaoguang to quickly spill how she wanted to collaborate.

Shi Yaoguang smiled, her eyes curving into crescents, exceptionally enchanting.

"It’s just a little project, you’ve all seen the proposal," she said.

At these words, the balding man reflexively retorted, "Seen it? When did we see it? How come I didn’t see it?"

The others also showed puzzled expressions.

Everyone looked toward Xiao Cenyang and Madam Xiao, only to see the couple smiling without saying a word.

Clearly, they knew exactly what Shi Yaoguang was up to with her secretive plan.

And they were colluding with Shi Yaoguang.

This made everyone even more curious about what Shi Yaoguang was actually doing.

"What are you being so mysterious about?" the balding man couldn’t help but press further.

Those present heard this and silently moved their feet, distancing themselves from him a bit more.

They thought to themselves, wondering how this man even got in here in the first place.

But...

Having such a person around was actually quite good.

It meant there were some questions they didn’t have to ask themselves and no need to worry about offending anyone.

After all...

Being the leading bird is not an easy role.

And yet the balding man was oblivious, still quite pleased with himself.

He even made a shameless request.

"Just promise to be with me, and no matter what you want, I can agree to it," he said.

Upon hearing this, someone couldn’t hold back their laughter.

"Where on earth did this weirdo come from?"

Cheng Lingdang, young as she was, couldn’t suppress her desire to mock and spoke directly to Shi Yaoguang.

Shi Yaoguang shrugged. "He’s a nouveau riche."

"How do you know?"

"Figured it out."

Cheng Lingdang blinked, then blinked again.

"Figured, figured it out?"

"Yeah."

"What else did you figure out, Shi bro?"

Cheng Lingdang asked with a face full of curiosity.

Shi Yaoguang: "Nothing much, just that he’ll be caught cheating in two years, end up divorced and estranged from his children, spending his later years pestering his ex-wife like a fly, eventually clinked in jail, dying a miserable death."

Cheng Lingdang shivered. "Isn’t that a bit too terrible?"

"That’s just the beginning."

Cheng Lingdang instantly felt it was even more terrifying. "Then he’s really unlucky."

"Compared to what he has done, this is nothing."

"What do you mean?" Cheng Lingdang asked, still full of curiosity.

Shi Yaoguang lowered her voice and said, "You’ll find out in a moment."

Cheng Lingdang curbed her curiosity and nodded.

Their voices were not loud, so naturally the balding man couldn’t hear them.

He watched Cheng Lingdang and Shi Yaoguang whispering to each other and the look of desire deepened in his eyes.

He even started thinking about Cheng Lingdang.

Speaking of which, Cheng Lingdang in her Lolita-style dress looked utterly loli.

Though her style was different from Shi Yaoguang’s glamorous elegance, she was still eye-catching enough.

The balding man couldn’t help but fantasize about capturing both of them at once.

Tears of longing uncontrollably flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Hiss—

He swallowed his saliva, his gaze on Shi Yaoguang growing increasingly fervent.

Cheng Lingdang was the granddaughter of the Xiao Family’s couple; he didn’t dare to touch her for the time being.

But Shi Yaoguang was different.

A pitiful worm kicked out by her own family.

He believed that with just a crook of his finger, she would easily take the bait.

Not to mention, he had flaunted his "wealth" in front of so many people.

There were quite a few people present today, and when Shi Yaoguang proposed cooperation, he was the only one who agreed so readily.

He couldn’t believe that Shi Yaoguang wouldn’t be tempted!

Seeing his "wealth," even if others didn’t show it today, they would make their attitudes known in the future.

Little did he know, what he thought was truly at odds with reality.

"Brother, since you’re so enthusiastic, then I won’t stand on ceremony with you,"

just as the bald man was lost in his wonderful fantasies, Shi Yaoguang spoke up.

Everyone looked towards her, feeling a bit nervous inside.

"The cooperation I’m talking about requires some financial support,"

Shi Yaoguang said.

The bald man was very generous, "Need money, huh? How much?"

"Not much." Shi Yaoguang held up two fingers.

The bald man sneered contemptuously, "Two hundred million?"

Shi Yaoguang shook her head.

The bald man instantly wore an incredulous expression, "Twenty million?"

As he spoke, without waiting for Shi Yaoguang to react, he said with a tone full of disdain, "The amount you’re asking for is too little. That’s not even enough for one of my meals."

Shi Yaoguang waited for him to finish before finally speaking, "It’s not twenty million."

"What?" the bald man was shocked, "Don’t tell me you’re asking for just two million? That’s even more humiliating! I can’t even bring myself to offer that!"

Shi Yaoguang curled the corners of her lips, slowly denying his guess, and stated the real amount.

"Not much, just twenty billion."

The bald man replied subconsciously, "Just twenty billion, huh? And here I thought you were going to ask for so much more..."

"Wait a minute!" His eyes bulged out, his squinted eyes fully opening, "What did you say? Not twenty thousand, not two hundred thousand, not two million, but—twenty billion?!"

"Yes." Shi Yaoguang nodded innocently, "Brother, didn’t you say any amount was fine? I’m only asking for twenty billion, that shouldn’t count as much, right?"

"How the hell is that not much?" The bald man’s expression immediately soured, "Two hundred million is already a stretch, and you want twenty billion right off the bat? You think other people’s money just gets swept in by the wind?"

"I don’t think your money comes from the wind, but..." Shi Yaoguang smiled helplessly, "it was you who said you were very rich. I thought twenty billion was just a drizzle for you, but it seems..."

She paused, "eh... I overestimated you, let’s just pretend I didn’t say anything."

The bald man’s face turned ugly, "You’ve already said it, and I’ve heard it; how could I act as if I haven’t heard?"

"It’s not that I’m stingy, brother, but you’re just asking for way too much. Let me ask around, who here would agree to give you that much money?"

After he finished speaking, there was no response from anyone present.

That made him somewhat embarrassed.

However, he quickly adjusted his expression.

"See, no one is willing to deal with you!"

Shi Yaoguang: "I don’t mind."

The bald man huffed, "Don’t think I can’t tell that you’re just putting on a brave face!"

Shi Yaoguang: "..."

She really wasn’t.

Thinking he had hit the nail on the head regarding her thoughts, the bald man opened his mouth and continued chattering, "I’m telling you, two hundred million is already the most I can offer! You should know, even keeping a mistress doesn’t cost me more than five hundred thousand a year, and that’s only because you’re to my taste..."

His overt words were meant to suppress Shi Yaoguang.

"You got kicked out by the Shi Family, so you must need a place to stay, right? I happen to have a spare apartment within the Fifth Ring, you can move there..."

Listening to the bald man directly arranging her future mundane life matters, everyone present was stunned.

What was going on in this guy’s mind?

Just then...
