Chapter 947: Chapter 944: Xiao Hua and I Are Very Close (Part 3)

Yan Bo followed the two a few steps behind very gentlemanly. Originally, he hadn’t intended to eavesdrop on Tao Jia and Tong Xiaohua’s "whispering," but helplessly, someone was not at all conscious about whispering, her voice so loud as if she feared the whole world wouldn’t know her plans.

When he heard Tao Jia say she wanted to find Tong Xiaohua to be a model, Yan Bo’s first reaction was to want to step forward and stop her.

But he quickly suppressed that protective instinct, deciding to listen to Tong Xiaohua’s own wishes before making a plan.

Then, he heard Tong Xiaohua’s melodic "but..." and knew that Tong Xiaohua probably wouldn’t agree to anything Tao Jia proposed.

Tong Xiaohua had originally come in Brother Yang’s car, but now, she was pulled to Yan Bo’s car, and Tao Jia very sensibly took the back seat herself.

Yan Bo took advantage of the moment when Tao Jia bent over to get into the car to lean in and whisper to Tong Xiaohua, "She’s looking for a nude model!"

Sure enough, Tong Xiaohua was taken aback, staring at him with wide eyes.

Knowing his cunning plan had succeeded, Yan Bo said nothing more, kissed her on the forehead, and helped her into the car, guiding her by the shoulder.

Tao Jia seemed to know that her proposal to have Tong Xiaohua model would definitely not be approved by Yan Bo, so after getting into the car, she didn’t mention it at all.

She was just curiously leaning against the window, pointing at the buildings outside the car window, asking what those places were.

Tong Xiaohua turned her face and very responsibly began to educate her about the geography of L City.

L City is an ancient city with a long history. Over a hundred years ago, it was a key commercial hub, so many old but still impressive buildings can be seen in the old city area.

In the mid-twentieth century, the city’s economy was very depressed, but in recent years, it has been making a comeback.

And Yan Bo, he had accurately seized the opportunity, thinking of riding this rising tide to push his business to the peak.

It had to be said that Yan Bo was more visionary and bolder than the youths of those aristocratic families in L City.

When he brought a huge sum of money to L City to establish Yanhuang Company, many heads of the aristocratic families in L City flattered him to his face but laughed behind his back, calling him a fool with more money than sense!

And yet, half a year after Yanhuang Company opened, those same family heads were saying behind his back that the fool had foolish luck and had actually bet right!

Yan Bo never cared about these rumors. The bustling money was in his pocket; whether he was foolish or not, he knew best!

"Yan Bo, is that overpass built by your company?"

The overpass pointed out by Tao Jia was the first in L City. Among the bunch of local competitors, Yanhuang won the bid with an absolute advantage.

"Yes."

For such capital that could be flaunted, Yan Bo responded modestly.

Admiration filled Tao Jia’s eyes, "No wonder when Dragon Brother mentions you, he’s so proud and smug. If I were that amazing, my brother would probably be praising me to the skies!"

Tong Xiaohua vaguely sensed something different in Tao Jia’s words, but she didn’t delve deeper into what was wrong.

She thought she was just being over-sensitive.

"I thought Dragon Brother was quite serious. Does he actually praise Yan Bo too?"

Tong Xiaohua thought of Yan Yuan’s cold, hard, and serious face, and found it hard to imagine what his expression would be like when he praised Yan Bo.

"Xiao Hua, have you met Big Brother Yan?" Tao Jia seemed very surprised.

Tong Xiaohua nodded, "Yeah, last time Big Brother Yan came to L City, we had a meal together. Although it wasn’t for a long time, Big Brother Yan seemed like a very solemn and upright person at first glance."

In Tong Xiaohua’s mind, Yan Yuan was a cold and reticent person, but in front of Tao Jia and Yan Bo, she was embarrassed to be too blunt.

Tao Jia agreed fervently, "Exactly, exactly, Big Brother Yan gives off the impression of someone who wouldn’t smile even if you hit him with five million, right?"

What Tong Xiaohua thought inside, Tao Jia bluntly expressed. She laughed, but didn’t respond to Tao Jia.

However, Tao Jia was simply a carefree person, continuing on her own, "Us children of aristocratic families, when we see him, naturally regard him as our big brother. Truly, his presence is so strong, whenever he’s around, you can’t help but feel a bit inferior."

Aristocratic family children?

Tong Xiaohua was somewhat startled. Could it be that Yan Bo, in the Capital City, was also from a prestigious family? Like, one of the children of the Top Ten Families in L City?

Tong Xiaohua harbored doubts and unconsciously shifted her gaze back, tilting her head slightly to look at Yan Bo.

Yan Bo naturally heard Tao Jia’s words too. He felt a start in his heart and, sensing Tong Xiaohua’s gaze, naturally reached out his hand to ruffle Tong Xiaohua’s hair, "Jiajia’s mouth always runs unchecked. Some things you just need to listen to, don’t take her too seriously!"

With that remark from Yan Bo, Tong Xiaohua let go of her concerns.

To think that Tao Jia included her and Yan Bo’s group when talking about children of aristocratic families.

After all, the Capital City was a place full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. The so-called children of aristocratic families have their own hierarchies. Perhaps, Tao Jia and Yan Bo’s group also just barely counted as members of this class and that wouldn’t be strange.

But what Tong Xiaohua didn’t expect was that the "aristocratic family child" Tao Jia spoke of wasn’t the lowest rank she had imagined, but rather, belonged to the highest tier and stood at the very top of these families.

"Yan Bo, I’m a woman and I’m not going to steal your girlfriend. Do you need to keep putting me down?"

Tao Jia looked quite indignant, but in reality, she was just putting on an act.

Having spent over half an hour with Tao Jia, Tong Xiaohua had largely figured out her personality. As Yan Bo said, Tao Jia was someone simple and see-through.

"To someone like you who only knows how to hold others back, if I don’t guard against you, am I supposed to wait until you lead Xiao Hua astray and then settle scores with you?"

Yan Bo and Tao Jia, as incompatible as fire and water, but through their banter, Tong Xiaohua could feel the depth of their friendship and affection for each other.

"You two have such a great relationship!" Tong Xiaohua said, unable to hide her envy.

Tao Jia immediately waved her hands to clarify, "Xiao Hua, don’t get me wrong. Yan Bo and I are just like sworn brothers, nothing else!"

Yan Bo, on the other hand, didn’t speak, just smilingly glanced at Tong Xiaohua.

Tong Xiaohua first made eye contact with Yan Bo and then, turning to Tao Jia, she said very sincerely, "Jiajia, I’m not mistaken. I’m an only child and I don’t have many peers around, so I’ve never really had friends or companions. Seeing you and Yan Bo together, I truly envy you."

Tao Jia let out a breath, "What’s there to envy? From now on, I’m your bestie and confidante. If this guy Yan Bo bullies you, or wrongs you in any way, just tell me, and I’ll get justice for you."

Yan Bo immediately snorted at Tao Jia’s righteous declaration, "Tsk, acting as if you’re the incarnation of justice! Little do you worry, Xiao Hua and I are getting along great, no need for you to bother!"
