At the banquet.
The light fell on Yang Jingying's exquisite face.
Her cheeks were tinged with a slight blush.
She looked absolutely stunning!
Yang Jingying held the microphone, her heart racing as she looked towards Xu Shi's table.
It was time to confess!
However, when she looked over,
She discovered Xu Mo was gone.
Yang Jingying's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.
She glanced around at other places.
Unfortunately, she couldn't find any trace of Xu Mo.
"Why is Sister Jingying looking at us?"
Xu Shi and the other girls were equally puzzled.
They looked at Yang Jingxuan's reaction.
A bold thought emerged.
"Could the volcanic mud skincare product be something my foolish brother created?"
But she immediately shook her head.
Quickly dismissing this daring speculation.
It seemed unrealistic.
The Xu family was in finance.
Where would they get a skincare formula from?
The volcanic mud skincare product seemed quite effective.
To acquire it
Must have cost a considerable amount.
Given Xu Mo's lazy personality,
He would rather lie down than sit up.
And he lived one day at a time without ambition.
How could he possibly go to such lengths to help Yang Jingying obtain the volcanic mud formula?
It didn't match her brother's character!
Nevertheless,
Xu Shi felt an ominous premonition rising in her heart.
Han Zhiqi blinked, also sensing something was amiss.
At this moment,
Seeing that Yang Jingying hadn't continued,
The guests whose curiosity had been piqued grew impatient.
"Miss Yang, aren't you going to tell us where this volcanic mud formula came from?"
"That's a trade secret. If you were in my position, would you reveal it?"
"It's fine if you don't say, I'm only concerned about when my pre-ordered volcanic mud skincare products will be delivered?"
"..."
Yang Jingying withdrew her gaze, unable to find Xu Mo in the crowd.
Perhaps he had stepped out for something.
But that wouldn't stop her from making her declaration.
Yang Jingying calmed the crowd's emotions.
Then without hesitation, she revealed the mystery.
"The person who gave me this volcanic mud skincare product as a gift is someone you're all familiar with - it's Xu Mo!"
After these words!
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.
Soon after,
The entire banquet hall erupted.
It's worth noting that Yang Jingying said it was given to her as a gift,
Not as a business collaboration with their Yang family.
None of the guests present were fools.
They could roughly estimate the market value of the volcanic mud skincare product.
No less than 500 billion yuan!
"My goodness! Is what Miss Yang saying true?"
"Young Master Xu is so generous, I'm impressed!"
"In ancient times, King You of Zhou lit beacon fires to amuse his concubine; today Xu Mo offers a skincare formula to win Miss Yang's heart - how wonderful! ~o(=∩ω∩=)m"
"Wow w(ﾟДﾟ)w, is Sister Yang about to confess?"
"Heh... don't overthink it, if I remember correctly, Young Master Xu likes Miss Shen Manni."
Xu Shi was momentarily stunned.
She never imagined
That something impossible
Would become reality.
In her previous life,
She had never heard anything about Xu Mo having a volcanic mud skincare formula!!!
If he had!
She would have known about it long ago.
Why wait until now?
Xu Shi's head was spinning, surely she must have missed some important detail.
Thinking of Xu Mo's lazy appearance!
Having capability yet hiding it.
Making everyone think he was worthless.
In an instant,
Xu Shi understood.
Good heavens!
Just giving away a formula worth hundreds of billions!
Your sister needs money too!
To completely destroy Lin Fan and the Dragon King Hall behind him,
They needed to strike hard.
Couldn't give them any chance to breathe.
What did she, Xu Shi, lack?
Money!!!!
And yet Xu Mo
Just gave it away.
Although the relationship between the Xu and Yang families was close,
Several hundred billion was still an enormous amount.
If Su Ting and Xu Fuqiang found out, they would surely break Xu Mo's legs!
Xu Shi wrinkled her delicate nose, angrily searching for Xu Mo.
She would beat him up first.
Then search him.
To see if Xu Mo was hiding any more important skincare formulas.
Or other valuable business plans.
When it came to making money!
Xu Shi could rely on her foreknowledge.
But progress was too slow.
If Xu Mo could help,
Things would move much faster.
As she searched,
Not only was Xu Mo nowhere to be seen, but An Youyi was gone too.
"Hmm? Where did they go?"
Xu Shi's curved eyebrows furrowed as she looked around.
Meanwhile, Yang Jingying continued speaking on stage.
"I will give Xu Mo seventy percent of the net profits from this volcanic mud skincare product."
The crowd erupted in surprise.
It felt very sudden.
She could have split it fifty-fifty with Xu Mo.
Or even given him nothing at all.
The Xu family was much wealthier than the Yang family.
Even if they made a fortune from this,
The Yang family still couldn't shake the Xu family's dominant position.
Regarding Yang Jingying's actions,
They truly couldn't understand.
Yang Jingying didn't give them any time to react and continued.
"Furthermore, the reason I gathered you all here tonight."
"I have one more announcement to make."
"Tonight's birthday and the volcanic mud skincare product aren't what's important to me."
She paused.
Yang Jingying looked towards Shen Manni and Han Zhiqi.
Her sensual lips, painted with brick-red lipstick, parted slightly.
"What's important is that tonight, I'm going to propose to Xu Mo!"
Then a female staff member
Brought out a pair of diamond rings.
While it's common to hear of men proposing to women,
It's rare for women to propose to men.
Even more unusual for major family alliances.
Most were arranged by parents and elders.
It was simply too important.
Marriage could also be a facade.
To maintain long-term interests between two families.
After marriage, they could live separate lives.
After all, they had the financial means to support that.
Turn a blind eye.
Neither side would say anything.
Of course, these were the failed marriages.
There were also many successful examples of marriages between great families.
But Yang Jingying's move,
The guests truly couldn't comprehend it.
"How dare she?!"
Han Zhiqi's face turned ugly cold.
Especially when meeting Yang Jingying's challenging gaze.
So what if the Yang family led the four great families?
The Han family dealt in the underworld.
If pushed too far,
They could simply stuff someone in a sack.
And feed them to the sharks.
If she couldn't have what she wanted,
The Yang family,
And other families' seductive hussies wouldn't get it either.
Better to have nothing than settle!
Shen Manni frowned, clearly at this moment, hearing these words,
Her mood seemed equally displeased!
Yang Jingxuan behind Yang Jingying curved her eyebrows slightly, lost in thought.
Her heart felt an inexplicable stabbing pain.
Since her sister had announced it,
Even if Yang Jingxuan was unwilling,
She could only step back.
There's so much going on, it's quite headache-inducing, hey this shouldn't have been done in the first place, we can barely make a living with our limited abilities, just read the book casually, thanks for the support, two more chapters to go, and updates for the other two books won't be missed
