Free Web NovelChapter 480: Chapter 480: Hong Kong People
"Did you have another daughter?" The fashionable girl looked at the little baby in Yi Roujing’s arms. The baby was really cute but didn’t resemble Xu Ancheng or Yi Roujing.
"Not ours," Yi Roujing replied truthfully without further explanation.
"Oh, right, sorry about that. I’m Lin Bixia from Hong Kong," the fashionable girl apologized and introduced herself.
Yi Roujing was a bit surprised. Xu Ancheng was impressive, how quickly had he started doing business with people from Hong Kong?
Having already done business with Hong Kong people involving An Gong Niu Huang Pill, Yi Roujing noted that this business was different. One was initiated by the other party, the other was her own initiative; they were different in meaning.
"Hello, I’m Yi Roujing," Yi Roujing introduced herself as well.
"Ah, yes, Mr. Xu’s wife is called that," Lin Bixia was more certain and more embarrassed. "My father always says I’m reckless. I really made a mistake today, talking without understanding the situation. I’ll apologize to Mr. Xu in a bit."
"Bixia, Bixia——" A similarly fashionable girl shouted loudly from not far away.
"Wen Ling, I’m over here." Lin Bixia turned her head and waved in that direction. Yi Roujing looked over naturally and saw a round-faced girl, a half-head shorter than Lin Bixia, with fair skin and a plump figure, looking quite blessed.
"Bixia, so you were here." Chen Wenling ran over, a bit breathless, but her eyes were fixed on Yi Roujing all the way.
"Wow, I didn’t expect to meet a girl even prettier than you, Bixia. This is the first time I’ve seen such a thing." Chen Wenling looked at Yi Roujing with amazement.
Yi Roujing slightly raised her eyebrows. The comment rubbed her the wrong way. If you’re going to compliment someone, just do it directly. She didn’t appreciate being praised at the expense of someone else. However, it could also be that these two were best friends who didn’t mind such remarks.
"I think so too, it’s my first time seeing someone so beautiful. In Hong Kong, she’d stand out too." Lin Bixia laughed and agreed warmly and sincerely. Yi Roujing wasn’t looking at Lin Bixia; she was watching Wen Ling, not missing her slight sneer and momentary anger in her eyes.
Ah, what a waste of such looks, Yi Roujing couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful.
"Brother Ancheng." The girl called Wen Ling suddenly showed a change in expression, looking excitedly at Xu Ancheng, who was walking over, and didn’t forget to tug Lin Bixia’s sleeve. "Bixia, Brother Ancheng is here too."
"Right, Mr. Xu came with his wife," Lin Bixia glanced at Yi Roujing. "Wen Ling, it’s the first time I’ve seen such a handsome and beautiful couple."
Chen Wenling’s expression froze instantly. She looked back at Yi Roujing in disbelief, "She’s Brother Ancheng’s wife?"
Wasn’t Mr. Xu’s wife said to be married from a village? Shouldn’t she be a village woman?
"Mr. Lin, Mr. Chen." Xu Ancheng politely greeted Lin Bixia and Chen Wenling. When he turned to Yi Roujing, his eyes softened instantly. "I’ve got the number; we’re the third. Let’s head to the second floor."
Xu Ancheng took Wowo from Yi Roujing’s arms and held her hand, leading her to the second floor.
"Decadent." Watching their figures disappear at the staircase, Chen Wenling’s face darkened, but her naturally cheerful round face didn’t give off any sinister vibe even if her expression soured.
"Wen Ling, they’re married. And isn’t Hong Kong more open-minded? What’s gotten into you, thinking holding hands in public is inappropriate since you’ve been in Jiang Province?" Lin Bixia looked at Chen Wenling with some surprise.
"But they aren’t from Hong Kong," Chen Wenling calmed down, pretending to be cute. "Besides, I learned this from someone else. An old lady said this when she saw young people holding hands before."
"Oh, you," Lin Bixia gave her a playful scolding glance, "Alright, let’s head back quickly."
Chen Wenling had come to get medicine, having caught a cold in Jiang Province’s cold weather, and Lin Bixia was eager to head home after finishing the task.
"Bixia, Brother Ancheng is really outstanding, isn’t he? It’d be great if he wasn’t married; he’d match Bixia so well."
Lin Bixia was indifferent, "I like sunny types. Mr. Xu is too distant. Even if he weren’t married, we’d be incompatible in personality. Also, he’s already married, and he and his wife match each other well."
Chen Wenling was secretly fuming but knew Lin Bixia’s nature. She was simple-minded, but...
"Wen Ling, and don’t call Mr. Xu ’Brother Ancheng’ anymore; it sounds so sickening. A person with Mr. Xu’s demeanor having such a nickname, ew—," Lin Bixia suddenly shivered, "It’s not fitting, not fitting."
"That Lin Bixia is from the Lin Family in Hong Kong. They made their fortune in real estate, and nearly half of Hong Kong’s real estate was developed by their family." Xu Ancheng explained, "Real estate is just building houses, buying, selling, and renting. We haven’t started it here yet, but this area will develop sooner or later."
Real estate was a term Yi Roujing was familiar with, but she couldn’t say anything. She marveled at Xu Ancheng’s insight, which spoke to why he was a person who could earn big money.
"I’m quite new to this field, so I’m planning to let Zhao Guang and the others go to Hong Kong to study," Xu Ancheng shared his plan. "Right now, the more important thing is land. The piece of land I’ve been eyeing belongs to the Lin Family, but we’ve already reached an agreement, and the ownership has been transferred. That land will be ours in the future."
"Cheng, I’ve earned quite a bit this time. The money from the Chen Family’s purchase of An Gong Niu Huang Pill has been credited. Aunt Guihong divided it before I came back, so if you need more money, just take it," Yi Roujing said eagerly.
"Alright, but we’re good for now. If I need it later, I’ll ask you," Xu Ancheng felt a wave of tenderness. He never thought he could spend his wife’s money, "If I ever run out of money, will Jing support me?"
Yi Roujing found it amusing, "I didn’t expect you to be like this, Xu Ancheng. But rest assured, you supported me before; I’ll support you in the future."
Xu Ancheng’s smile deepened, "I will try not to make Jing support me."
The risks of doing business were something Xu Ancheng had always understood, but he had planned carefully. With the Xu Family as a backing, he had even more confidence and resources. He had to work harder; otherwise, his wife would surpass him.
Xu Ancheng had gotten a pediatric specialist for Wowo. When it was Wowo’s turn, the couple brought the child in. Wowo obediently followed the doctor’s instructions, opening her mouth when told to and sticking her tongue out when asked.
"The vocal cords look fine, and her tongue is good. How old is the child?"
The doctor asked, but Xu Ancheng and Yi Roujing couldn’t answer. They truly didn’t know how old she was.
