Chapter 288: Are They All Idiots?
Xi Chenxiao nodded when he heard Su Jin’s words. Of course, it was a video conference. Otherwise, why would there be a sound? However, when the person on the other end of the call saw Su Jin, he lost his composure and exclaimed,
“G.o.d, no wonder you got married! Sister-in-law looks like a celestial being. She’s devastatingly beautiful! As a forever single man, I’m really envious.”
“That’s not right. I see that Sister-in-law is still wearing her school uniform?”
“G.o.d, Big Brother, have you gone crazy? This is too scary. You won’t even let go of an underage girl?”
Xi Chenxiao was speechless when he heard the people on the video call. What were they talking about? His girl was already an adult, just a young adult. Was there a need to make such a big fuss? He said coldly,
!!
“Everything you wanted this year is gone.”
People in the call panicked when they heard this from Xi Chenxiao. This could not be made a joke. They were counting on their collaboration with Xi Chenxiao to earn money this year. They could not lose their business just because of some silly blabbering! They immediately coaxed,
“Brother Xi, Big Brother, let’s talk this out. We know we’re wrong. Brother Xi, you’re very charming. Brother Xi…”
Xi Chenxiao’s face darkened. He did not want to bother with them anymore. He closed the laptop and ma.s.saged his temples angrily. Are these guys all idiots? How could they do something so stupid?
Su Jin was even more curious about the ident.i.ties of these people when she saw that Xi Chenxiao was worked up. They must be of certain status to have the galls to speak to Xi Chenxiao like this. But in her memory, there were no idiots in the Xi family. Su Jin asked curiously,
“Boss, who are these people?”
Through the video, Su Jin saw that these people were all dressed in international brands, and all of them were good-looking. They were even more handsome than some celebrities. They also had an air of superiority about them, like Xi Chenxiao. They were way more confident than ordinary people.
When Xi Chenxiao heard Su Jin’s question, he let things go. Although these people acted like idiots, they all stood at the top of the pyramid. Despite their youth, all of them were big shots. He replied plainly,
“They are the heads of the four n.o.ble families. I’ll introduce you to them when we have time.”
Were these idiots mocking him about his age? That he was old, and he was a “manther”? These fools would not be forgiven so easily. He would teach them a lesson, so they’d behave appropriately in future.
Su Jin was a little surprised when she heard this. Shouldn’t the Xi family be one of the four n.o.ble families? Why were there four people at the other end of the call? How was it possible that the Xi family wasn’t one of the four n.o.ble families? She asked curiously,
“Aren’t you from the four n.o.ble families? Why are there still four people?”
Xi Chenxiao wasn’t angry when he heard Su Jin’s questions. After all, it was impossible for Su Jin to meet people of their status. So, it’s understandable that she didn’t know what was going on. Xi Chenxiao explained to Su Jin patiently,
“The Xi family is higher in status than the four n.o.ble families, and the so-called four n.o.ble families have to listen to our family.”
As he said this, Xi Chenxiao opened his laptop again and retrieved the information about the four n.o.ble families. He showed it to Su Jin because no matter how much he said, it would not be as detailed as this information.
“Read it for yourself.”
When Su Jin heard this, she sat closer to Xi Chenxiao and looked at the information on the laptop. Information about the four n.o.ble families, including biographies of the heads of these families, was all there and very detailed.
After reading the information, Su Jin was even more curious. If the four n.o.ble families were already so powerful, why would they listen to the Xi Family? Each n.o.ble family could very well hold their own. So, Su Jin asked curiously,
“Then, what does the Xi family do?”
Xi Chenxiao thought for a while. The Xi family was involved in too many things so for a moment, he didn’t know how to answer Su Jin . He looked at the information about the four n.o.ble families, and said plainly,
“The Xi family is at the top because we are involved in various fields, including weapons and airplanes.”
Su Jin’s eyes widened. The Xi family was indeed formidable. She never thought that she would marry such an impressive man. When she remembered that she was the one who shamelessly asked Xi Chenxiao to marry her, she could not help but appreciate an old saying that people with no sense of shame were indeed invincible!
