Chapter 1048: Pinky Promise!
“You are all bad people! You lied to me! You promised to cooperate!!” Dai Xiaochan dropped her face on the table and cried out miserably as soon as Bai Xiaofei finished his words.
The two men were stupefied. What the hell? Trying to make us feel guilty?!! Is she not embarrassed at all? If this gets out, her reputation as a genius businesswoman will be ruined along with that of the Amethyst Merchant House?
“Brother Fei, is she for real…?” Fang Ye gulped, whispering.
“It looks like it… Probably… Maybe.” Bai Xiaofei also swallowed hard.
As the two men quietly discussed, Dai Xiaochan’s cries grew louder and louder as she kept saying the word “Liars.”
“Brother Fei, you tricked her, you handle this. I’ll go and help you explain to your girls in case they misunderstand!” Fang Ye conveniently found an excuse and fled the room.
Watching him run away, Bai Xiaofei’s lips curled up into an eerie smile. Boy, you still have a long way to go before you can fool me! Xu Chen, oh, Xu Chen, please forgive me. I’m only doing this for our Demon Illusion!
Bai Xiaofei mused in his heart as his origin energy surged and he transformed into Fang Ye. Then, he walked up to Dai Xiaochan whose voice had turned hoarse from crying.
“Er… Hey, don’t cry. Let’s talk it over?” said Bai Xiaofei softly in Fang Ye’s voice.
When Fang Ye had left, Bai Xiaofei had used Blackie’s ability to fabricated a scene, so what Dai Xiaochan had seen was that it was ‘Bai Xiaofei’ who had left after he had given Fang Ye the authority to make the decision…
“What is there to talk about? I’ve said everything I needed to. There’s nothing left to talk about.” Her eyes red, Dai Xiaochan sobbed pitifully.
“Although Brother Fei is a bit too much, you shouldn’t cry so hard. These things would be investigated sooner or later even if you didn’t tell us anyway. In fact, you haven’t lost anything.” Bai Xiaofei tried to change the concept, but to his surprise, Dai Xiaochan wasn’t crying because of this.
“What do you know?! I came here secretly. My father doesn’t know about this at all. If I fail, I will have no chance!” Dai Xiaochan yelled.
Bai Xiaofei’s heart jumped. Damn, there is a story I don’t know about?!
“Your father doesn’t know? Isn’t this kind of thing supposed to be discussed by the major businesses beforehand? Even if he didn’t know you were coming, he should have sent someone, but there was no one else from the Amethyst Merchant House here today.” Bai Xiaofei analyzed, wanting to pave the way for the story he wanted to hear.
“I kept the news down and snuck out, so my father didn’t know about it. I didn’t even dare to use my Amethyst Card to avoid the people who were watching me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so hungry.” Dai Xiaochan was still sobbing.
Her words filled Bai Xiaofei with joy. Surveillance? Awesome!
“Your father has people watching you? Why would he do that? Is there anything I can do to help?” He asked with a hint of “worry” in his voice.
“He said that I was old enough to get married, and he planned to marry me out, so that he could pass on his responsibility without worries. But I haven’t even met the man he found for me, how could I possibly get married? I have to prove to him that I can protect the Amethyst Merchant House without needing any man,” said Dai Xiaochan as she burst into tears again.
“But this is all your wishful thinking. What if your father still insists that you get married even if you successfully make a deal with us?” Despite saying these words, Bai Xiaofei already had a “cruel” plan in mind.
“No! If I achieve this and he still persists that I marry, I will sever our father-daughter relationship! And at that time, the cooperation alone will be enough to keep him busy. He won’t have time to consider my marriage.” When Dai Xiaochan talked about her marriage, anger instantly took over grievances.
“If so, I might be able to help you,” said Bai Xiaofei.
Dai Xiaochan instantly looked ecstatic. “Really?!” She stared intently at “Fang Ye” with her swollen eyes.
“Brother Fei may have a sharp tongue, but his heart is soft. If I tell him the ins and outs, he will certainly be willing to cooperate with you.” Bai Xiaofei didn’t forget to praise himself, but Dai Xiaochan couldn’t care less.
“That is to say, there is still hope?!” As if she was trying to grab at her last lifeline, she sounded like she was on the verge of losing rationality.
“Yes, but you also heard him just now. Even if we reach a cooperation, it’s impossible to prioritize your Amethyst Merchant House. No matter where he is, he always wants the absolute right to decide. If he can’t do this, it will be difficult to convince him.” Bai Xiaofei was very clear about his goals. If Dai Xiaochan couldn’t satisfy his requirement, he wouldn’t agree even if she cried to death.
“This is indeed a bit difficult, but we can try the round way. On the surface, we set up a research mechanism based on fairness. Meanwhile, I, who will be Amethyst’s representative, will support his every idea, which is equivalent to him having the absolute right to decide.” The gears in Dai Xiaochan’s brain turned quickly, but as soon as she finished speaking, her brow furrowed. “However, only under one condition. Your president must assure me that the interests of our Amethyst Merchant House will not be hurt in any way!”
Obviously, Dai Xiaochan remembered her bottom line despite her excitement. She wanted her plan to work out at all cost, but that didn’t include the Amethyst Merchant House being cheated.
“Don’t worry, I can guarantee on Brother Fei’s character. As long as you do what you say, your Amethyst Merchant House will never regret cooperating with our Illusion Demon. Brother Fei has always been nice to his own friends, otherwise the Snow Kingdom and the Ethereal Kingdom wouldn’t have helped us to this extent,” Bai Xiaofei boasted, seeming to have forgotten that he was still in Fang Ye’s skin…
“Alright then, let’s pinky promise!” Seeing hope again, Dai Xiaochan held out her pinky finger with a happy smile.
Bai Xiaofei’s heart was blooming as he followed along. Alright! First step completed!
“Hook our pinkies and give them a pull, our promise shall not be broken for a hundred years!”
After thoroughly appeasing Dai Xiaochan, Bai Xiaofei left the room feeling refreshed.
“Ah, it’s time to tell that boy Fang Ye about this wonderful news. Too bad he ran so fast and missed out on all of this!”
