Chapter 669: Don’t Be a Cannon Fodder in the Sea
"Xia Yan, stop."
It was already midnight when Xia Yan returned to the Xia family villa. She originally wanted to go directly upstairs to her room, but just as she stepped onto the stairs, she suddenly heard a harsh shout from the side.
With a click, the light in the living room was turned on.
Xia Ming was standing not far away, glaring at her with his arms crossed over his chest. Before she could speak, he asked, "Where have you been? You came back so late, do you have any manners?"
For such wealthy families, although they live in modern times, their rules are even more corrupt than those of the feudal dynasties a hundred years ago.
Xia Yan had understood this in her previous life. Those rich second-generation men who had pursued her acted like decent human beings outside, but when they returned home they all thought they were emperors in ancient times.
Xia Yan glared at the arrogant Xia Ming with cold eyes. She was not interested in playing those outdated feudal systems with them.
"Where am I going? Do I need to report to you?"
"Xia Yan, you don't really think of yourself as the second daughter of the Xia family, do you? You are just an illegitimate daughter. When will it be your turn..."
Without waiting for Xia Ming to finish his words, Xia Yan turned around and went upstairs.
I was already tired after running around outside all day and didn't have the patience to deal with Xia Ming.
However, Xia Yan's indifference was seen by Xia Ming as disrespect for her.
Especially when she thought about the few people she sent out to teach Xia Yan a lesson, all of them were beaten back, which made Xia Ming even more dissatisfied.
"Xia Yan, stop right there."
"You bitch, get out of here."
Xia Ming chased after Xia Yan, roaring and shouting in rage, and banged on Xia Yan's bedroom door.
Xia Yan became annoyed by her and opened the door.
Xia Ming outside the door was caught off guard and stumbled. Seeing that Xia Ming was about to fall on her, Xia Yan quickly dodged.
"Xia Yan, you're looking for death." Xia Ming fell to the ground, glaring at Xia Yan with a pair of angry eyes.
"Xia Ming, I don't want to play those childish games with you." Xia Yan took a step forward, stretched out her hand to pinch Xia Ming's chin, and looked down into her eyes, "But if you come to trouble me again, I will not be polite."
With force on her palm, Xia Yan removed Xia Ming's chin with a "click" sound.
The sound of "click" made Xia Ming's mind go blank, and then an intense pain came.
"what……"
Xia Ming let out a cry and reached out to hit Xia Yan, but the intense pain left her with no strength, and the slap fell on Xia Yan's body, just like a tickle.
‘Click…’
Another sound came, and Xia Yan reset Xia Ming's jaw.
"Remember the pain just now. This is the price you pay for provoking me." Xia Yan's eyes were cold. She grabbed Xia Ming's arm and threw her out of the bedroom.
Closing the door blocked out Xia Ming's hateful and timid gaze.
Xia Ming is a person who appears to be powerful but is actually weak and doesn't have much ability. However, few people dare to offend her because of her status as the eldest daughter of the Xia family.
Giving her a lesson today will keep her quiet for a while.
As for Xia Ming's overwhelming hatred towards her, Xia Yan said she didn't care at all.
Although she did not have the original owner's memory, she could tell from the Xia family's attitude towards Xia Yan that she must have been bullied in the past. Xia Ming didn't like her in the first place, so it didn't matter if she hated her a little more or a little less.
Using force to teach Xia Ming a lesson was an idea he got from Yun Yi.
Xia Yan took out the jade beads from her bag. Unlike the ones that were full of cracks when she just picked them up from the ground, she asked someone to cover the cracks with the gold inlay jade technique and strung the six beads together.
With tassels hanging on it, she holds it in her hand like a ring, and her fingers look even whiter and more slender under the gold and jade.
During this afternoon, Xia Yan watched many performances of martial arts practitioners through various online and offline channels.
What can be recorded by the image are mostly fist and foot skills. Techniques like Yun Yi's, which are similar to throwing hidden weapons to hit the target, are all completed through post-editing without exception.
But Yun Yi really used these six beads to knock down the six strong men in front of her, and it was not done through editing techniques in the video.
How did he do that?
-
Yun Yi didn't know that Xia Yan was interested in his method of launching hidden weapons. He knew that Xia Yan's entertainment company was still in its infancy and now was the best time to invest.
The start-up capital for Xia Yan's entertainment company came from the equity and real estate that Grandpa Xia distributed to all the younger generations before his death.
Xia Yan sold the real estate, but she didn't plan to sell the shares, so she could only take the dividends every quarter, which was still quite tight.
Xia Yan was still very surprised when she learned that someone was willing to invest in her small start-up company.
She was even more surprised to see Yun Yi in the conference room.
“You want to invest in me?”
"Is it not possible?" Yun Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "I am very optimistic about the prospects of your company."
Xia Yan didn't believe this. A 22-year-old girl who left her family to start a company would be considered unreliable by anyone. Why would Yun Yi be optimistic about her future?
Yun Yi didn't want Xia Yan to believe what he said, so he continued, "Whether you believe it or not, just think of it as me doing it for fun, but you can rest assured that after investing, I will only take a share of the profits and will not get involved in management and operation."
"If you don't believe me, we can write this into the contract. Miss Xia won't have a problem with money, will she?"
Of course Xia Yan would not go against money. She needed money right now, and there was no reason for her to refuse the money given to her.
"Okay, I'll have someone prepare the contract right away." Anyway, there was nothing worth Yun Yi's calculation about her, so he would just go with the investment.
Xia Yan acted decisively and quickly prepared the contract.
Yun Yi didn't need to find a lawyer to analyze the terms of the contract. He simply scanned it himself and then signed his name.
"You're so straightforward. Aren't you afraid that I'll set a trap for you?" An investment for a small goal, you just invest like that?
"I believe Miss Xia."
Yun Yi raised his eyes to look at Xia Yan, smiled and said: "Then, I will wait for Miss Xia's return."
"You won't be disappointed."
Xia Yan raised her lips and smiled, making her already gorgeous face even more radiant.
It was true that someone would send a pillow when she fell asleep. Several projects she had planned could not be carried out due to lack of money, but this time she can develop them freely.
"When can the investment come in?" Xia Yan didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
"It will probably be paid in three installments within two months." He also needs time to raise the money. Yesterday he invested all his pocket money in the Wall Street stock market. It will probably take two months to make a tenfold return on his money.
"But I hope this matter can be kept secret. I don't want others to know."
Xia Yan's eyebrows moved slightly and she nodded.
Although she didn't know why Yun Yi wanted to keep it a secret, she respected his opinion and just regarded it as the privacy of a rich young man.
