Chapter 70

"She confessed! She confessed!"

"My god, a beauty confessing to me with a limited edition sports car—any man would be so excited he'd faint!"

An Xingyue's high-profile confession not only attracted the onlookers of the Xu Group's employees but also attracted many passersby.

Xu Rixin maintained a gentle and elegant appearance on the surface, but in his heart, he cursed An Xingyue, this idiot, a thousand times.

Now their scandal was already making a huge noise, and An Xingyue still had to be so high-profile; what an idiot!

Xu Rixin didn't want to bear the infamy of stealing a brother's girlfriend, but this limited edition sports car was indeed something he had dreamed of.

When Xu Rixin learned that this globally limited sports car was on sale, he asked a friend to inquire about it, but in the end, he didn't get a spot.

Now that An Xingyue wanted to give him this car, naturally, he had no reason not to accept it.

However, he couldn't just accept it like that; he had to find a high-sounding reason.

And he absolutely couldn't agree to be with An Xingyue in front of everyone. If this spread, how could he maintain his image as a single noble young master?

"Miss An, I appreciate your kindness. I just mentioned it casually before, but I didn't expect you to take it so to heart. I'm really moved."

Xu Rixin took the box from An Xingyue's hand in a pretentious manner and raised his volume as if unintentionally: "I will transfer the money to you later."

"Rixin, there's no need for you to transfer money to me. What kind of relationship do we have? There's no need to be so calculating."

Seeing Xu Rixin accept the car keys, An Xingyue thought he had agreed to her, and the smile on her face became even brighter: "Then do I count as your..."

"Miss An, there are too many people here, let's go up and talk."

Xu Rixin said, not waiting for An Xingyue's response, and turned to walk inside the company.

An Xingyue had no choice but to follow quickly.

Xu Rixin's method of coaxing women was indeed brilliant. In front of everyone, he accepted the gift but promised to transfer money to An Xingyue. Even if it were mentioned by someone with ulterior motives later, he could use the excuse of help between friends.

And he didn't publicly admit that An Xingyue was his girlfriend, so if he wanted to dump An Xingyue in the future, he could also push it off as An Xingyue's wishful thinking.

He didn't agree to anything, didn't promise anything, so naturally, he was clean.

As for the transfer, he knew An Xingyue too well.

An Xingyue loved him to death and couldn't possibly accept his money.

"Is that a successful confession?"

"Did the male lead agree or not?"

Xu Rixin and An Xingyue leaving one after another left the onlookers outside in a daze.

"He should have agreed, right? Not agreeing after being confessed to by such a beautiful woman—wouldn't that be unappreciative?"

"Not necessarily. I think that man's background isn't simple either. Didn't you hear someone call him boss? Maybe he's a big boss!"

"A big boss and a rich young lady—this is a perfect match, tsk tsk tsk..."

Xu Tian, who was in the crowd, couldn't help but shake his head upon hearing the passersby's discussion.

This An Xingyue is truly keen on courting death.

With the Yun family delaying payment, the An family must have instructed An Xingyue to please Yun Shuo, otherwise, An Xingyue wouldn't have specially come to the company to bring Yun Shuo food.

But this An Xingyue was used to being a princess. Because Yun Shuo didn't give her face and continue to be her lapdog, she actually high-profile confessed to Xu Rixin at the company entrance to take revenge.

With such a spendthrift woman, the An family's company couldn't amount to anything.

Yun Shuo, who went downstairs with Xu Tian, just glanced at what was happening outside and then turned to go upstairs.

Xu Tian didn't follow. At times like this, he needed to give Yun Shuo some private space.

However, he believed Yun Shuo could figure it out, but no one would feel comfortable thinking about the woman they had been pursuing for five or six years confessing to another man in front of them.

In the next few days, because Xu Rixin didn't explicitly reject her, An Xingyue already regarded herself as Xu Rixin's official girlfriend, and even pointed fingers at the company's employees in the capacity of the boss's wife.

Yun Shuo treated An Xingyue completely as a transparent person, and even if he saw her in the company, he never took the initiative to greet her.

This afternoon, Xu Tian was drinking afternoon tea in Yun Shuo's office.

"Ding-a-ling..."

Suddenly, Yun Shuo's phone rang.

"It's a call from my dad."

Yun Shuo glanced at the caller ID: "It should be that the project the An family is competing for has a result."

Xu Tian put down his cup upon hearing this.

Yun Shuo didn't intend to hide it from Xu Tian and pressed the speakerphone directly.

"Hello? A Shuo, that project has been won by our family."

Yun Shuo's father's tone on the other end of the phone was somewhat excited: "Your friend's suggestion was very good, letting us find a small company with no advantages among the bidding companies to cooperate, and we defeated the An family very easily."

Because the Yun family intended to cooperate with the An family when the project was tendered, they didn't sign up.

By the time Yun Shuo's father learned of An Xingyue's actions, it was too late to sign up for the competition.

So Xu Tian gave Yun Shuo's father an idea, letting him choose a small company with no background among the other bidding companies to cooperate.

In this way, the small company that originally had no hope of winning the bid got the benefits given by the Yun Group, and the Yun Group could also win the bid more easily.

"Also, A Shuo, I have officially announced the cancellation of your engagement with An Xingyue. This time I still have to thank your friend. If it weren't for his reminder, your mother and I would still be kept in the dark."

After Xu Tian's reminder, Yun Shuo's father had already withdrawn all investments in the An family before canceling the engagement.

Even if the two families fell out now, the loss wouldn't be great.

Just as Xu Tian was on the phone with Yun Shuo's father, in Xu Rixin's office upstairs, An Xingyue was sitting on Xu Rixin's lap playing a mobile game, completely unaware of what she was about to face.

"What do you want to eat tonight? I'll call to book a table first."

Because An Xingyue gave him the sports car he had dreamed of, Xu Rixin's attitude toward her during this period was considerate.

Even if An Xingyue pestered him every day, he didn't show much impatience.

"Okay, I want to eat Japanese food."

An Xingyue looked up and kissed Xu Rixin on the face: "Honey, you are so good to me!"

"Xingyue, today should be the day the project your family participated in opens for bidding, right? Has your family contacted you?" Xu Rixin asked as if unintentionally.

"No, but don't worry."

An Xingyue was full of confidence: "The other competitors are not to be feared. As long as the funds are in place, this project will definitely be my family's!"

"That's good. I was worried that because of me, it would cause a rift between your family and the Yun family. What if Yun Shuo instigated his parents to withdraw capital..."

"He wouldn't dare." An Xingyue was still confident: "The Yun family has many interest entanglements with our family. One hair affects the whole body; the Yun family couldn't possibly have a rift with our family just because Yun Shuo said a few bad words."

"And the Yun family has been able to develop into one of the top 50 enterprises in Jiang City over the years, all thanks to our An family behind the scenes. If it weren't for our An family, where would they have today's achievements?"
