Chapter 739 - 326: Covering with the Blanket, Why Is Your Hand on My Leg?

Even though I was active all night, it gets cold when you’re up so high.

Especially in winter!

But she had also come to a clear realization.

Xu Yun wasn’t "incapable"—he was more than capable!

Just as I thought, any news without evidence is just a rumor!

Liang Yan wrapped herself in the blanket and chuckled softly, "I knew it. How could someone so fine suddenly become incapable? I can’t believe I got so lucky tonight."

「The next morning.」

The women woke up one by one, changed into their own clothes, and washed up. Seeing that Xu Yun still wasn’t up, they each left for work.

Only the unemployed Xino stayed behind at the house.

On the way down in the elevator, Liang Yan couldn’t stop sneezing.

Seeing this, Li Jinshu gloated, "Catch a cold sleeping on the couch last night? Hahaha..."

"How could I not catch a cold?"

Liang Yan retorted irritably, "You try standing on the balcony for half an hour in the middle of the night with your legs bare. You’d probably be in worse shape than me."

"Why would you go out on the balcony in the middle of the night for no reason?"

"To do something I enjoy, of course."

Liang Yan said meaningfully, "It was a blessing in disguise. You think I was pathetic for sleeping on the couch?

Actually, I was the most ’satisfied’ person among all of you last night."

"???"

Li Jinshu asked in confusion, "Susu, what is she talking about?"

Su Mu: "I don’t know."

None of the others knew what she was talking about either.

The property security guard at the residential complex’s entrance was stunned, watching so many different types of beautiful women come out at once.

Any single one of them was a goddess-level beauty.

Not only that, but every one of them was driving a luxury car.

He glanced again at the floor they had just come down from.

The top-floor penthouse.

Instantly, he understood.

He was overcome with envy. ’The nights of the rich are truly colorful and varied.’

’If only I could live that kind of life someday.’

As he thought this, he sat in the security booth and began daydreaming about what it would be like to be rich.

That wasn’t enough, so he opened his novel app and found a book called *Godly Rich from Wanting Whatever You Want* to read!

He dreamed that one day he, too, could have a Divine Rich System.

「Inside the top-floor luxury residence.」

Now alone, a bored Xino went to Xu Yun’s room, leaned over the side of his bed, and watched him quietly.

’His eyelashes are so long...’

’His nose is so well-defined...’

’His lips are so sexy...’

’How can such a handsome, good-looking man exist!’

Perhaps because she was so close, Xino’s breath tickled Xu Yun’s face.

Xu Yun opened his eyes and looked at her.

"You’re awake."

Xino immediately smiled. "Good morning, honey. What do you want to eat? I’ll order some takeout for you."

"I thought you were going to cook yourself."

"I can, as long as you dare to eat it."

"Never mind, I’m afraid of being poisoned."

Xu Yun looked at her and suddenly asked with a smile, "Were you the one who started a rumor about me yesterday? Saying I was... incapable?"

"Uh... I didn’t mean to. It just slipped out in the heat of the moment. I’m sorry."

Xino said guiltily, "If you want to yell at me, go ahead. I’ll listen."

"Yelling is one thing, but I’m planning on a different kind of punishment."

"What kind of punishment?"

"Get in bed. I’ll explain it to you... thoroughly."

Understanding his meaning, Xino whispered, "Honey, are you... up for it right now? Don’t force yourself."

"It’s all because of the rumor you started."

Xu Yun laughed in exasperation. "Today, I’m going to use my ’strength’ to shut you up for good!"

「A moment later.」

A disbelieving cry from Xino came from the bedroom.

"Ah, how did it suddenly get up!"

"WHIMPER~~~~"

...

「At the skyscraper of a certain energy conglomerate.」

Xi Huaimin was accompanying a city leader—his old classmate, Zhang Heping—on an inspection of the company’s factory district. After lunch, they chatted privately in the office.

To be honest, Xi Huai’an found his sudden, impromptu inspection today very strange.

Sure enough, once they were alone, Zhang Heping asked him curiously, "Where’s that precious daughter of yours? Hasn’t she been in Jiangcheng recently?"

"She’s probably been hanging out with that kid Xu Yun for the past couple of days."

After answering, Xi Huai’an asked, puzzled, "Why are you asking about my daughter for no reason?"

"No reason, just a friendly reminder so your son-in-law doesn’t get snatched away by someone else."

Xi Huai’an immediately became vigilant. "Don’t tell me you’re the one with ideas about my future son-in-law?"

After all, his own daughter was around the same age as that kid Xu Yun, only two years older than Nuomi!

And most importantly, she’s still unmarried!

"I’d like to, but the risk is too great. It’s too easy to get labeled."

Zhang Heping said, "Did you know that during the recent anniversary celebration at Jiang University, some guy donated 1.5 billion? That’s more than the big-time entrepreneur Lei Jun."

"Who?"

"That kid, Xu Yun."

Xi Huaimin: "!!!"

Zhang Heping said, "But he was smart enough not to show his face. He had a woman attend on his behalf—a very beautiful and elegant one, at that."

...Xi Huai’an was speechless.

Zhang Heping continued, "So, I had another private chat with him that day. I wanted to get him to invest in the Jiangzhong Peninsula in South City, about 10 billion or so."

"Wait a minute, Old Zhang!"

Hearing this, Xi Huai’an became agitated. "I understand you want to climb higher and boost your political achievements.

But there have to be limits, right?

I already helped you last time. No matter what you say, I won’t help you again.

Besides, you’re asking for 10 billion this time! Who has that kind of money for you to squander!"

"That kid Xu Yun does."

Zhang Heping sighed, "I had someone discreetly check his personal bank accounts yesterday. In his Construction Bank account here in Jiangcheng alone, there’s over 20 billion in cash just sitting there."

...Xi Huai’an was speechless.

Honestly, he was a bit shocked by Zhang Heping’s news.

This was a personal account, with over 20 billion in cash.

Not a corporate account!

’Just how much money does this kid Xu Yun have?!’

"Even so, it’s not like he’ll agree just because I ask. This is a 10 billion project!"

After processing this information, Xi Huai’an said, "Forget him not agreeing—even if I had the money, I wouldn’t agree to it."

"Look at your mindset. It’s not even as broad as that kid Xu Yun’s."

Zhang Heping smiled. "You don’t need to speak on my behalf. He already agreed on the spot. He’s willing to put up 10 billion to get it done."

"Is he crazy? Investing in real estate and building a commercial district now!"

Xi Huai’an said, agitated, "No, I have to call him and tell him not to do it!"

’Even though it’s his money now, in the future, it’ll all be part of my precious daughter’s family assets!’

’Actually, the money isn’t that important.’

’What’s important is, if this suddenly bankrupts Xu Yun, won’t my daughter have to suffer in the future?’

"You’re more worried than he is."

Zhang Heping said, "While this matter carries great risk, if it succeeds and becomes another famous landmark in Jiangcheng, the returns he’ll get will be unimaginable!"

"You government types are always just making grand, empty promises!"

Xi Huai’an said angrily, "By the time it’s built, you’ll have your political achievement, and you’ll just pat your ass and move on up, using my future son-in-law as your stepping stone, is that it?"

"Do you think that kid Xu Yun is stupid?"

Zhang Heping said, "If he were really stupid, he wouldn’t have the wealth he has today.

Or rather, the family behind him would never let him control so much wealth!"

...Xi Huai’an was silent.

His old classmate’s words made him fall silent.

’That’s true.’

’He’s not some naive young brat who knows nothing!’

"I have something else to tell you. When you have the chance, help me sound him out. I couldn’t figure it out myself."

Zhang Heping said with a serious expression, "Previously, during the old city renovation project, our government had just swapped a rather tricky piece of land to him.

A few weeks later, a document came down from above, stating that a new airport was to be built on that very piece of land."

...Xi Huai’an was silent.

"Quite the coincidence, isn’t it?"

Zhang Heping said, "To tell you the truth, I’ve actually had people investigate this kid Xu Yun several times, even using internal government channels.

But I couldn’t find a single piece of useful information."

"Even with your authority, you couldn’t find anything?"

Xi Huai’an felt an indescribable sense of shock.

’It was one thing for me to fail, but this guy is practically a provincial governor, and he couldn’t find anything either!’

"Nothing."

Zhang Heping explained, "Every time I investigate him, I run into all sorts of resistance, as if he’s being protected by some mysterious force that prevents prying eyes."

In our country, only the people at the very top have that kind of power and influence.

The two men looked at each other.

’Could that kid Xu Yun actually be a top-tier princeling?’
