Chapter 764: Chapter 761: A Ten-Billion-Yuan Tea Meeting
Lin Bingxuan naturally knew what to say and what not to say, so she concealed Xiao Tian’s situation, only disclosing partial information.
However, even so, she didn’t expect Xiao Nianqing’s reaction after listening.
Still, Lin Bingxuan didn’t feel much about Xiao Nianqing’s response; instead, it warmed her heart a little.
"Thank you, Auntie!" Lin Bingxuan sincerely expressed her gratitude, "It’s wonderful that you understand us!"
"Silly child!"
Xiao Nianqing changed her tone, becoming much gentler, "I’ve always said, you are part of our Zhong Family, and my daughter-in-law, part of our Xiao family. Whoever tries to harm you must get our approval first!"
"Xiao Tian!"
Xiao Tian promptly replied, "Mom!"
"This time, you managed to satisfy me." Xiao Nianqing said sternly, "Don’t worry about things at home, your father can handle it. One Huang Family can’t turn the world upside down!"
...
Ending the call with Xiao Nianqing, Xiao Tian’s expression suddenly turned solemn.
Even though Xiao Nianqing had shown her staunch support for his actions on the phone, Xiao Tian knew very well what was on his mother’s mind.
Though she didn’t say it aloud, her words revealed a lingering worry. After all, this was the Northern Border, the stronghold the Huang Family had cultivated for years. It was impossible for Xiao Nianqing to be completely at ease with the two of them here.
Since that’s the case...
Xiao Tian sighed, "I initially planned to drag things out, but now it seems I can only expedite the plan!"
Lin Bingxuan wasn’t clear about Xiao Tian’s plan but could somewhat guess from the previous sentence, and immediately asked, "Were you planning to detain the Huang Family’s people again?"
"Yes, according to my original plan, if we detained their people once more, their Patriarch should make an appearance." As he spoke, Xiao Tian’s gaze shifted, "But given the current situation, dealing with it swiftly is better."
Lin Bingxuan quite agreed with this notion, "I think that’s good, the sooner we resolve this, the sooner we can return to Shanghai, otherwise, we’ll be exposed eventually."
Before Xiao Tian could reply, a knock was heard.
"Come in!"
As the words fell, the door opened in response, revealing Huang Feizhong standing at the entrance, saying, "The third son of the Huang Family, Huang Qisheng, is here. He wants to meet with you for a discussion."
"Alright!"
Xiao Tian agreed without hesitation, then gestured for Lin Bingxuan to wait there, following Huang Feizhong to meet the third son of the Huang Family.
Though Lin Bingxuan was worried, she heeded Xiao Tian’s advice, diligently guarding the hostages from the Huang Family, remaining vigilant at all times.
...
Outside the hotel, Huang Qisheng, dressed in formal attire, stood quietly by the door, with a row of ostentatious luxury cars behind him, instantly becoming the focal point of everyone’s attention.
"That man is so handsome!"
"Is he planning to propose?"
"Hurry, record this moment; this scene will surely garner a lot of clicks!"
Passersby were captivated, stopping to engage in enthusiastic discussions.
Walking outside, Xiao Tian immediately spotted the genteel Huang Qisheng warmly greeting various social elites with a smile that felt like a gentle spring breeze.
The onlookers naturally fell into Xiao Tian’s view as well, although he didn’t find it uncomfortable.
"That’s the third son of the Huang Family, Huang Qisheng!" Huang Feizhong introduced at the right time.
Xiao Tian subtly nodded, then stepped forward towards Huang Qisheng, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.
"Look, look, a handsome guy just walked out of the hotel!"
"Wow! That’s the epitome of a male god!"
"Hey? Why is he walking towards that handsome guy with glasses?!"
Amidst the joyful chatter of the crowd, Xiao Tian stopped in front of Huang Qisheng.
At the first sight of Xiao Tian, Huang Qisheng displayed remarkable social skills, immediately putting on a beaming smile, shaking Xiao Tian’s extended right hand vigorously, saying, "Pleasure to meet you!"
This scene nearly left Huang Feizhong’s eyes popping out—what the hell is this?!
The person standing in front of you is your family’s arch-nemesis who kidnapped your two brothers. Even if enemies meet with animosity, it’s not possible to act like you’ve seen your long-lost father, is it?!
In an instant, Huang Qisheng, in Huang Feizhong’s mind, was marked with a label akin to selling out one’s country.
Others equally surprised by this scene included some passing social elites, who were all notable figures in various fields and had long heard of this third son of the Huang Family.
But seeing him now, with such an attitude, inevitably made people wonder whether it was inherent enthusiasm or whether the person in front of him was extraordinary.
"Shall we talk inside?"
Ignoring the eyes upon them and the murmurs from the crowd, Huang Qisheng directly invited Xiao Tian, displaying a compliant demeanor.
"Sure!"
Xiao Tian took the lead, stepping into the hotel lobby and casually choosing a spot to sit down.
"May I trouble you for your finest tea?" Similarly seating himself, Huang Qisheng, in a tone fit for ordering a waiter, addressed Huang Feizhong, who had followed up.
Huang Feizhong silently cursed him for bullying the weak, but the man’s status necessitated compliance with his wishes, plus this Huang Qisheng seemed relatively courteous.
"Let me introduce myself; I am Huang Qisheng. Regarding the conflict between my two brothers and you, I hope my presence can bring this matter to a resolution!" Huang Qisheng said, smiling, without the slightest hint of superiority typical of a Huang Family heir.
"Did you bring the fifty billion?" Xiao Tian asked with a smile as well. To anyone overhearing, it would seem like an amicable reunion.
Huang Qisheng’s heart tightened, not expecting the other party to go straight to the point, leaving no room for his set of relationship-building tactics, he could only reply, "Regarding the fifty billion, though the Huang Family is known for our grandeur, it’s impossible to come up with it at once."
"However, I brought ten billion this time, consider it a token for your tea!"
Saying this, Huang Qisheng waved his hand, prompting a group of black-clothed people outside to begin operations, continuously hauling suitcase after suitcase out of the high-priced luxury cars, and once in front of the two, dumping them at their feet as if discarding trash.
"What the hell!"
"Isn’t this fake money?!"
"Do all rich people show off like this?!"
Outside, by the transparent glass window, the onlookers uttered words of utmost amazement, their voices so loud that even the thick soundproof glass seemed to lament, unable to block the decibels emitted by so many people at once.
Those equally astonished included some Northern Desert social elites, who were all too familiar with Huang Qisheng’s status, being personally designated as a successor by Huang Feihu, representing the Huang Family’s stance with every word and deed.
Yet now, to say such a thing as "ten billion as a token for tea"...
Are they drinking tea or gold?!
