Chapter 174

From now on, she will have one more identity that will make many people envious.

The young mistress of the richest family in Wuxingguo.

"Dad, that's not right—does that mean from now on we have to bring bodyguards wherever we go?" Xiao Yunzhe suddenly thought of a problem about going out; when they went to the auction, Dad had arranged bodyguards beside Xiao Jingrou, and he was worried she might get into trouble.

For now, Xiao Ming's identity can no longer be hidden, so naturally the identities of these few juniors cannot be hidden either.

"Yeah, Dad, look, your photos have been exposed online; when you go out you need to bring more bodyguards." Xiao Jingrou also said worriedly.

"That's for sure."

"Actually, I already made these arrangements when we just recognized each other." Xiao Ming said calmly: "When you go out, there have always been bodyguards following you."

"From the moment you recognized me, you are no longer children of an ordinary family; I must ensure your safety."

The three siblings hearing Xiao Ming's words were all extremely surprised.

Before the three siblings could come to their senses, Xiao Ming spoke again: "Not only you three, but Jing Shu also has bodyguards; since I met their foster parents earlier, I have arranged for bodyguards to follow her."

"However, I don't want you to have too much psychological burden, so I never told you." Xiao Ming looked at the children indulgently: "Your safety is the most important; I won't allow even the slightest danger to approach you."

"You are all my children; in the future you will inevitably face various situations, but I don't want you to feel pressured or unhappy because of them; if you have any thoughts, tell me."

The few children looked at each other, then firmly said: "Dad, rest assured; for us, being with you is the most important thing; we can overcome anything else, and since we are your children, we can face everything."

After that, the family chatted for a while, then each arranged their own activities.

Xiao Jingrou stayed on the balcony drawing her own design sketches, while Xiao Yuchun and Geng Jing Shu were online looking at various baby clothes and supplies.

In the evening, Geng Jing Shu stayed directly at Yuxi Villa.

Xiao Ming told her, this place is her home, her parents' home is also her home, letting her live wherever she wants; this made Geng Jing Shu feel genuinely moved again.

At night.

Geng Jing Shu made a video call with her parents, told them about not going back, and also conveyed Xiao Ming's words to them; hearing this, her parents were also deeply moved.

Especially Geng Jing Shu's mother, she earnestly advised: "Jing Shu, your father-in-law is none other than the richest person in Wuxingguo; what a noble status it is—being able to join such a family is your blessing; you must behave well and not upset your father-in-law, understand?"

"Hehe, I know, my father-in-law is very reasonable; I haven't seen any of those arrogant conglomerate attitudes here." Geng Jing Shu said cheerfully.

Thinking about the wedding, she bashfully glanced at her parents on the video and said: "Mom and Dad, my father-in-law said that I should marry Yunzhe before the Spring Festival; he has already prepared the wedding house."

"Really?" Geng Jing Shu's parents were extremely surprised.

"Then let's do it before the year ends." Their daughter marrying into such a family left them with nothing to say.

After the video call ended, Geng Jing Shu's parents were happily red-eyed.

Their future in-laws are the richest in Wuxingguo.

Moreover, they treat their daughter very well, with not a trace of aristocratic airs.

After the two families had met before, Geng Jing Shu's parents never heard the Xiao family mention marriage again even half a sentence; as the bride's side, they also found it awkward to bring it up themselves.

Unexpectedly, the in-laws had thoughtfully prepared the wedding house and everything before saying anything.

Their daughter is carrying the Xiao family's child, and Xiao Yunzhe is deeply in love with her; seeing Xiao Ming treat their daughter so well, the couple instantly felt they must have accumulated eight lifetimes of virtue for their daughter to marry into such a family.

Having Xiao Ming as their in-law, the second half of their family's life is destined to be spent in wealth and honor.

Just thinking about it makes the couple feel wonderful inside.

……

That day, the winds and clouds shifted dramatically; the position of the richest in Wuxingguo shifted onto Xiao Ming's head, making him the youngest and wealthiest richest person in Wuxingguo's history.

Some people made such a calculation of Xiao Ming's total assets.

His assets amount to over a hundred million billions; if he deposited all that money in the bank, he wouldn't need to do anything and would earn over a thousand billions of interest per year.

Some netizens posted this calculation online, and other netizens immediately exploded in reaction.

"My goodness, that's too scary; having money is great, the feeling of getting soft-handed from interest is wonderful."

Many were extremely jealous, but unfortunately they could only envy.

Xiao Ming felt helpless; he wanted to stay low-key, but it was too hard; after several days passed, netizens online continued to enthusiastically discuss various topics about him.

Starting from the day after he became the richest in Wuxingguo, various media began contacting him, wanting to interview him; although he had already refused many times, it did not affect those people's determination to invite him.

Outside the buildings of the several companies that had been announced, crowds of media filled the entrance every day.

Since constantly hiding wasn't an option, Xiao Ming could only agree to an interview with one of those media outlets, doing a special feature.

As soon as his interview program aired, netizens exploded again.

Men went crazy with jealousy, while women went crazy with admiration.

"A male god is a male god, too handsome, his looks are too high."

"So handsome, I really want to bear his child."

At this time, Xiao Ming's looks had almost conquered all the female compatriots who watched his interview program.

A man as handsome and wealthy as him, with such correct values, is truly very likable.

However, Xiao Ming has no interest in self-promotion; like those two Ma bosses, occasionally appearing in the public eye naturally helps his career a lot—it's practically a living advertisement.

But he dislikes using that method; he hates being famous, which is why he used to stay so low-key before.

Moreover, he plans to retire behind the scenes, handing his business over to his son, and is even less willing to live a life overly scrutinized.

But even after retiring, the authority over his enterprises still remains with him.

One day, Xiao Ming quietly came to Minghui Group, wanting to see what his company looked like when he wasn't there.
