Chapter 455: Shameful Posture
Chapter 455: Shameful Posture
The person who opened the door moved swiftly, like a gust of wind, and Song Song couldn’t see who it was, only catching a faint scent of cologne...The originally heavy and lengthy meeting was abruptly interrupted by the unexpected guest, making the atmosphere suddenly feel a bit strange.
Looking at the young man who barged into the meeting room with a group of men in black, several senior shareholders of the Xiao Family began to murmur, as the man looked extremely familiar.
Although the young man was dressed in a black suit, the collar of his white shirt inside was open, revealing bronzed skin and a dazzling golden necklace, combined with his close-cropped hair, giving an inexplicable thug-like feel.
But how could an ordinary thug dare to barge into the Xiao Family’s meeting room?
A simple calculation could roughly tell that this person had a significant background. Despite the swagger, there was an indistinct nobility about him, suggesting he was either from a wealthy family or a prominent military clan.
At this moment, the young man suddenly pulled out a whip from his waist and slammed it hard onto the conference table, almost causing a few elderly shareholders to have a heart attack...
With a face full of disdain, he said, "What’s the point of holding a damn meeting! Everything’s already over, even if gods came down to help, it wouldn’t work. Hahaha! Feels good! Feels damn good for me."
This was the first time Song Song had seen someone act so arrogantly in front of Xiao Jinghuai, and because of this, she gave the man a good look.
Not the handsome type popular now, at least standing in front of Xiao Jinghuai, his appearance couldn’t be called handsome, but... his aura was unstoppable, as if he were today’s master, and everyone should bow to him.
Just as Song Song was puzzled, Xiao Jinghuai suddenly stood up from his main seat, first looking at her with a face full of confusion outside the meeting room, then facing the young man, calmly saying, "Di Shiyi, I truly didn’t expect it to be you."
Song Song frowned, Di Shiyi?
The name seemed familiar to her, but she couldn’t recall where she had heard it...
Di Shiyi responded with a roguish smile, "There are plenty of things you couldn’t imagine! You think I’d be the one willing to suffer such losses silently? I was once tripped up by you, and I swore then that I would one day take revenge. Ha! I didn’t expect it to come so soon."
"Xiao Jinghuai, ah Xiao Jinghuai! You probably didn’t think that when I, Di Shiyi, got serious, I could actually bring you down! You had no idea, thinking yourself invincible!"
"Hahaha..."
Xiao Jinghuai remained calm, "Heh! Just say it, what do you want by coming here today?"
"Isn’t it obvious enough?" Di Shiyi laughed wildly, "Of course it’s to come and take over! Although the Xiao Family is finished, this empty shell should still be worth a lot, name your price! I’m rarely this charitable, don’t refuse me."
Instantly, all eyes focused on Xiao Jinghuai, including Song Song...
She believed he would never agree to this man named Di Shiyi. He absolutely wouldn’t agree, because agreeing would mean raising a white flag.
Though she knew he couldn’t possibly agree, she was still so nervous that she held her breath, palms cold.
"Alright, five billion!"
"..."
Song Song was instantly frozen there, and as she came to her senses, she rushed into the meeting room, grabbing the man’s sleeve with her small hands, her voice hoarse and said, "Xiao Jinghuai, are you mad?"
"You can’t sell the Xiao Family to him, this person clearly isn’t good. It’s likely he did something behind the scenes, so the Xiao Family ended up in this situation. This is exactly what he wants, agreeing means falling into his trap."
"Xiao Jinghuai, don’t sell!"
The man looked down at the woman’s anxious little face and suddenly smirked, "Why can’t I sell, hmm?"
"...I just explained the reasons."
Song Song didn’t quite understand why, if she could see through such tricks, he was still asking why, wasn’t it obvious?
Xiao Jinghuai gave a faint smile, waving off her small hand, "This is between men, why is a woman like you suddenly jumping in?"
Song Song was about to explode with anger, wasn’t she helping him?
They were husband and wife, of course, she would stand by his side on important matters.
"Oh! This must be the rumored young lady of the Qiao Family whom President Xiao has protected for over a decade!"
With that, Di Shiyi started scrutinizing Song Song, then clicked his tongue saying, "Eh! Something doesn’t seem right! I’ve heard that the Qiao Family’s young lady Qiao Yu is an outstanding beauty, but this one here is at most the fresh and pretty type."
"Could the rumor be false? Maybe Qiao Yu isn’t a great beauty after all."
Song Song had been utterly fed up with those words for some time, so she turned directly to Di Shiyi with enthusiasm and shouted, "Listen, bandit man! I am indeed not Qiao Yu. My name is Song Song, Song of the Song Dynasty, I am Xiao Jinghuai’s wife, the only legitimate wife recognized by law. Do you understand now?"
Di Shiyi, usually the one yelling at people, had never been yelled at before, let alone by a woman who looked like she had no strength, so infuriated, he swung his hand intending to strike...
Seeing this, Song Song quickly hid behind Xiao Jinghuai, trusting he would protect her, and sure enough, Di Shiyi’s hand was intercepted by him.
Di Shiyi knew full well that Xiao Jinghuai wasn’t just graceful on the surface; he was also trained, but he never thought his grip would be so strong, as if capable of breaking his wrist.
Xiao Jinghuai’s face was cold, his pupils sparking with flames, "My woman isn’t for you to discipline; back to the topic, for five billion I’ll sell the Xiao Family to you."
"...Tch." Di Shiyi sneered.
"Alright! Five billion it is, I’ll see how capable Xiao Jinghuai is without the Xiao Family!"
Di Shiyi knew very well that five billion for the Xiao Family was not only cheap but very cost-effective, since that amount wasn’t enough for him to even cut losses, with numerous business partners needing compensation, none of which were small amounts, five billion would barely cover it.
Ha! Who could he blame?
It’s his fault for making too big a business, maybe with less ambition his fall wouldn’t be so disastrous.
Song Song stood by anxiously, "Xiao Jinghuai, you’re truly crazy aren’t you! You can’t sell the Xiao Family, even if you agree to sell, I believe Grandpa Xiao won’t agree, you mustn’t sell!"
Xiao Jinghuai seemed possessed, completely ignoring Song Song’s advice, only looking at Di Shiyi with bloodshot eyes and said, "Get the money ready quickly, once I receive it, I’ll handle the transfer."
With that, he directly dragged Song Song out of the meeting room.
Song Song’s wrist was hurting from his grip, wanting to break free but powerless, she could only stumble as she tried to keep up with his pace, until she was taken into a small meeting room, then lifted onto a table before she finally came to...
But the next second, she felt that their posture was immensely shameful.
