Chapter 145

He looked around the room full of people; at this moment, the whole family looked at him with eyes full of immense gratitude.

"And the richest one?" Xiao Shan continued to ask.

Seeing he couldn't avoid it, Xiao Ming could only answer truthfully: "Well, well, maybe!"

"I am, I have that much more money than those previous rich folks."

Hundreds of millions...

Xiao Shan listened, and for a long time he couldn't say a word; seeing Xiao Ming doing well, he was quite happy, but he never imagined Xiao Ming had actually become the richest.

Good heavens, his Xiao family has accumulated virtue for several generations from ancestors, and only now has such a promising descendant appeared!

Xiao Junrong finally understood why his immediate superior, Xiang Jiangtao, such a high-and-mighty person, would obey Xiao Ming's face like a little lackey.

Xiao Ming is the richest; is his uncle also the richest?

The more Xiao Junrong thought about it, the more excited he became.

"Good, good, good child, I never dared dream that when I saw you again, you would already be above others." Xiao Shan, moved to tears, nodded affirmatively.

"Mm-hmm, Uncle, you also see that I'm doing alright now; before, you treated me like your own son, raising me; now it's my turn to repay you—if you need anything, just tell me." Xiao Ming helped Xiao Shan sit down and said to him.

Speaking of this, Xiao Shan again thought of Xiao Ming's gift-giving operation yesterday.

In his heart, he felt both surprised and moved.

"Good, good, good, good child." Xiao Shan nodded with relieved, reddened eyes.

Seeing his uncle not mentioning again yesterday's gift to Xiao Junrong, Xiao Ming felt much relieved in his heart; he used that method precisely because he worried his uncle wouldn't accept it.

He could see that Xiao Junrong was a good child; giving to Xiao Junrong was equivalent to giving to his uncle's family.

Afterwards, Xiao Ming suggested bringing his uncle's whole family to Anjin, but his uncle simply wouldn't agree to go.

"Xiao Ming, hearing you say you want to bring me over to be filial, my heart feels very happy, but I'm already this old, accustomed to my previous way of life; following you to live such a wealthy life, I'm really not used to it."

"If you have time, just come back to see me more often." Xiao Shan said with relief.

What his uncle said, Xiao Ming understood; indeed, his uncle was used to the daily routine of smoking and basking in the sun in the courtyard; having a crowd of servants swirling around him in the city would indeed be difficult for him.

"Alright, then I'll follow your wishes; if you have any matter, be sure to call me, and when I have time I'll come back to see you." Xiao Ming, holding his uncle's hand, instructed him.

"Mm-hmm!"

Afterwards, Xiao Ming took a card from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Xinran: "Xinran, those from yesterday were Junrong's wedding gift; this one is for you two as a couple."

"What?" Xiao Xinran looked at Xiao Ming in surprise, not knowing how to react.

"This, even they as a couple get a share?"

"Take it; you are blood brothers, your brother is doing well now—how could he bear to let his only brother continue living a hard life?" Xiao Shan had by now figured it out.

What Xiao Ming said is correct; he used to raise Xiao Ming as his own child; now the child has grown up and knows to repay kindness—if he refuses to accept, it will only make Xiao Ming feel bad inside.

"Hehe!" Xiao Xinran, after hearing it, remained silent for a moment, then reached out and took it: "Then I'll take it; it feels great to have a brother watching over me."

Xiao Xinran's words made the whole family laugh helplessly.

Holding the card Xiao Ming gave him, he felt a weighty sensation, his heart full of happiness, secretly thinking that given his brother's previous grand style, the amount inside must be substantial.

After the family chatted a while longer, Xiao Ming suddenly thought of something and turned to the newlywed Xiao Junrong: "Junrong, go with your uncle to develop in Anjin?"

If he could be properly trained, later having family members help Xiao Yunzhe manage the business would also put him at ease.

Moreover, the son could also have more close brothers!

Xiao Junrong glanced at Song Huihui beside him, then stammered: "Well, Uncle, I need to think it over properly, I need to digest it, hehe!"

Too many things have happened these past two days; he still hasn't digested them yet.

Xiao Ming could see his confusion; earlier, when he and Xiao Yunzhe's three siblings first recognized each other, the kids, upon seeing his vast wealth, were also stunned and took several days to digest it.

"Alright, call me when you've decided."

Afterwards, Xiao Ming chatted and laughed with Xiao Shan and Xiao Xinran.

In the following days, Xiao Ming took his uncle's family around for walks and outings.

As for Xiao Junrong and Song Huihui, Xiao Ming directly arranged for them to go to a famous resort to spend their honeymoon.

During those days accompanying his uncle, Xiao Ming heard his uncle mention that later, Song Huihui's aunt's family again wanted to play the affection card, to get close.

However, Song Huihui had none of it; she immediately settled accounts with them, giving her aunt 300,000, directly cutting off relations.

This approach was actually quite in line with Xiao Ming's intentions.

This matter somehow reached the ears of Song Huihui's aunt's relatives and friends; outwardly they said nothing, but secretly they were mocking Wang Yulan.

If it weren't for her previous tendency to look down on people, she wouldn't have ended up in such an embarrassing situation now.

Wang Yuling and her husband dared not speak out in anger; they could not afford to provoke the great Buddha of the Xiao family.

Some rejoiced, some worried; Wang Yuling and her husband regretted to the extreme, while Wang De'an and his wife were delighted to the extreme.

Wang De'an, after returning from Xiao Junrong's wedding, was promoted the next day.

This was all because he successfully connected the city's big shot Luo Jun with Xiao Ming, earned praise from his superiors, and was directly promoted.

Moreover, the leadership promised to cultivate him well, and in the near future would also give him a raise.

Wang De'an and his wife were overjoyed; Wang De'an's wife Ning Rou, who is also a close friend of Geng Jing Shu, upon hearing her husband's promotion, called to invite Geng Jing Shu to their home as a guest.

The couple bought lots of fine wine and food to entertain Xiao Yunzhe and Geng Jing Shu.

After eating, when they returned to the hotel, it was already dark.

"Dad, we should also head back to Anjin." Xiao Yunzhe said with a helpless smile while playing chess and chatting with Xiao Ming: "If we don't go back, this month's salary might be docked so much that I won't even have money for water."

These past few days, his father had a blissful, unwilling-to-leave-Shu appearance, making Xiao Yunzhe a bit anxious.

"It's fine; your father can still support you, General..." Xiao Ming made a nonchalant move, showing no intention to go back for a while.

Xiao Yunzhe lowered his head and looked, dumbfounded.

"Dad, I haven't even started setting up my position yet, how are you already winning?" Xiao Yunzhe muttered somewhat glumly.
