Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xiao Lingbo glared at Xiao Ying and said, “What are you doing up here?”
Xiao Ying smiled and said, “Weren’t you the one who asked me to come up?”
These familiar words gave Xiao Lingbo a bad feeling.
But then he threw this thought to the back of his mind. It was impossible. Xiao Ying had only been ten years old the year You-Know-Who appeared.
Xiao Ruoxuan looked at Xiao Ying from the side and gently advised, “Xiao Ying, even if you want to fish up a rich husband here, you can’t just toss aside your dignity and come up onto stage like this.”
As soon as she said this, the gazes of the men below changed as they looked at Xiao Ying. They all jeered. They were certainly willing to take her.
This reaction deeply satisfied Xiao Ruoxuan. However, when she heard someone praise Xiao Ying for being beautiful, her expression instantly darkened.
Xiao Ying curled her lips into a smile, instantly charming many people.
Ignoring their comments, Xiao Ying leaned close to the microphone and said, “Hello everyone, I am You-Know-Who.”
The scene instantly froze for a minute.
The first reaction was to not believe her.
“Miss, you were probably just a little kid when You-Know-Who appeared.”
These words made everyone present laugh loudly. Xiao Ruoxuan also looked at her mockingly.
Xiao Ying was not angry. She said slowly, “There is a kind of person called a genius.”
Her words were so arrogant they couldn’t even laugh. This woman must be a fool.
Chen Jianfeng suddenly took a step forward and said respectfully, “Miss Xiao Ying is my boss.”
Everyone was stunned. They knew Chen Jianfeng.
All these years, he had been You-Know-Who’s mask. He appeared in You-Know-Who’s stead for everything.
Could this be real?
Everyone looked at Xiao Ying on the stage in shock.
The Xiao family was the most shocked. Xiao Ruoxuan shouted, “Impossible! You can’t be You-Know-Who!”
Her crazy appearance made everyone frown. Her gentle image, which she had painstakingly built up, instantly collapsed.
Everyone also came to their senses. So the Xiao family’s relationship with You-Know-Who was not as good as it appeared.
There even seemed to be grudges involved.
Feeling the change in the expressions of the people around him, Xiao Lingbo hurriedly signaled to Madam Xiao with his eyes to get her to take Xiao Ruoxuan away.
Xiao Lingbo looked at Xiao Ying, his eyes flashing with affection. He said with a laugh, “Speaking of which, I have been negligent with my role as a father. I didn’t even know my daughter was this capable.”
These words shocked everyone again. Xiao Ying was Xiao Lingbo’s daughter.
Connecting their identical surnames, many people recalled that the Xiao family indeed had two daughters previously, one of them named Xiao Ying.
Xiao Ying smiled and said, “It’s not the first time you’ve been blind. Back then, you even took the wrong daughter home.”
Xiao Lingbo’s expression froze as he prepared to get Xiao Ying to leave. If this continued, the Xiao family’s image would be ruined.
Xiao Ying suddenly said, “I came today mainly to praise the Xiao family.”
Xiao Lingbo paused. What was that supposed to mean?
She continued, “The Xiao family has taken on the South City project.”
These words made everyone envious. Xiao Lingbo was also feeling smug.
Xiao Ying continued, “The Xiao family’s actions are quite benevolent. They alone helped everyone present here bear the risk of bankruptcy.”
These words made everyone puzzled.
“What do you mean?” Xiao Lingbo asked.
Everyone’s gaze was focused on Xiao Ying’s red lips as she said softly, “Didn’t I tell you? The South City project has been requisitioned by the government, so this is a charity project without any profits. Initially, they were prepared to request funding from the entire city, but they didn’t expect Mr. Xiao to bear all the responsibility himself. You are really doing this for the country and the people.”
Xiao Lingbo could not help but take a step back. He could not withstand such a blow.
The Xiao family had invested all their funds into this project and even had several mortgage loans.. It was over for them.
