After Yi Bai finished speaking, he stared at An Nuonuo with an incredibly sharp gaze.
This was pure moral coercion!
Jiang Xu felt extremely displeased and was about to retort.
But he didnât expect the one who had been silent the whole time to suddenly lift her head.
Those soft eyes, like gemstones, were now emitting an unrivaled brilliance.
It seemed the entire room brightened a bit at that moment.
She looked at Yi Bai and said, âMr. Yi Bai, I have personally witnessed Brother Xu grow from nothing to a net worth of hundreds of billions.
He achieved this entirely through his own effort.
And to top it all off, it took him only about three years.
To put it less pleasantly, even without your help,
it wouldnât be long before Brother Xu becomes one of the wealthiest people in this world.â
The underlying message was: Donât think too highly of yourselves.
Donât take yourselves too seriously.
Jiang Xu couldnât help but want to applaud when he heard this.
Thatâs my Nuonuo for you.
She may seem gentle on ordinary days, blushing after speaking just a few words,
but I didnât expect her to stand up and join my side at a critical moment. It was incredibly supportive.
When we get back later, Iâll definitely have to ârewardâ her properly.
Yi Bai was taken aback.
He hadnât expected this seemingly weak and slightly socially anxious girl to speak such strong words.
His expression darkened on the spot: âWho gave you the permission to speak to me like this? Get out, youâre not welcome here!â
An Nuonuo bit her lip and stopped talking.
She had already made her stance clear.
It was better to leave the rest for Jiang Xu to handle.
Jiang Xu held her hand, his eyes looking sharply at Yi Bai: âShe is my fiancée, the woman Iâm going to marry. By what right do you speak to her like this!â
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the scene was shocked, looking at Jiang Xu in disbelief.
This kid is really bold; does he understand what heâs saying?
Zhang Ge frowned slightly, his voice growing a bit heavier: âJiang Xu, donât be rude!â
Jiang Xu shrugged: âItâs not my fault, who asked this guy to disrespect his elders.â
Yi Bai was so angry he nearly slammed the table.
If this had been in Dahe Country, Jiang Xuâs grave grass would have been several meters tall by now.
âJiang Xu!â Yikali couldnât hold back anymore: âDonât be so willful.
This matter is no longer just about the two of us, it affects the relationship between twoâ¦â
Looking at An Nuonuo, she pleaded earnestly, âSister Nuonuo, I know you might be a bit unhappy right now.
But please take my advice, Brother Xu can only advance his career further if he is with me, and his future prospects will be much broader.
Moreover, you two have been together for so long and still have no children.
Iâve heard that even if someone is healthy, there are certain couples who just canât have children no matter what.
You better persuade him to let go, or else he might lose everything he has now.â
Given Yikaliâs capabilities, as long as she gave the money, she could naturally find out that An Nuonuo had made many trips to the hospital for checkups over the years.
Then, with a bit of analysis, she could figure out what was going on.
An Nuonuo couldnât help but lower her head.
Jiang Xu, however, was filled with disgust towards Yikali.
He didnât try to hide the revulsion in his gaze when he looked at her.
This woman had no sense of boundaries.
To say such things in public.
In addition to embarrassing him and An Nuonuo, it also made people feel that Yikali was not a good person.
Mo Liya nudged Yikali under the table, giving her a look.
Yikali turned pale.
She had spoken without thinking just now.
Now realizing what she had done, she was instantly filled with regret.
But the words had already been spoken, and there was no taking them back.
Yikali simply decided to play the villain to the end.
After all, things had already come to this, and the matter must be resolved today.
Otherwise, she would be utterly humiliated.
âImpossible, get that thought out of your head,â Jiang Xuâs tone was as cold as frost, âI will never marry you!â
Yikali bit her lip.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She bit so hard that she even broke the skin.
She felt humiliated!
In front of so many people, Jiang Xu repeatedly refused her, which was extremely embarrassing for her.
She decided not to pretend anymore, her face became gloomy, âYou have no choice, unless you want to have nothing at all!â
Zhang Ge took a sip of tea and rubbed his eyebrows.
He felt a tremendous headache.
How did things get to this point?
âJiang Xu, this is not the time to be temperamental,â he looked at Jiang Xu and said, âI still say the same thing, we must consider the bigger picture.â
Jiang Xu was now too important; he couldnât simply use his power to pressure him.
In the absence of a last resort, persuasion was still the main approach.
Having said that, he turned to An Nuonuo with a pleasant expression and said, âMiss An, I know you two are very close.
But⦠I hope you can also make a small sacrifice.
In this world, there are many things much more important than love.
Like money, status, fame, and the like.
If you agree, you can have these things immediately.â
An Nuonuo suddenly laughed.
With that laugh, the entire room seemed a few shades brighter.
Men and women present were all shocked by her beauty.
The thought âso beautifulâ involuntarily flashed through their minds.
Even when not smiling, Nuonuo was already stunningly beautiful.
With that smile, she truly turned all heads.
Many eyes were fixated on her.
Itâs no wonder Jiang Xu was so fond of An Nuonuo.
Just a smile alone emitted a charm so strong that it was irresistible.
Yikali couldnât help but feel defeated.
She admitted that just in terms of appearance, she was far inferior to An Nuonuo.
But in this world, looks are important, but theyâre not everything.
The advantage was still on her side!
With this thought, Yikali calmed down again.
Then they heard Nuonuoâs soft and delicate voice, âIf he says himself that he doesnât want me, then I will leave immediately.
But⦠if you expect me to leave him of my own accord, sorry, I canât do that.
Even if you⦠kill me right here and now.â
Her voice was gentle, but her tone was filled with unwavering resolve.
The expressions of everyone present changed repeatedly.
No one had expected that what seemed to them at first a simple matter would eventually escalate to this point.
Yikali could no longer hold back.
She stood up, âIâve tried to reason with you nicely, donât be ungrateful!â
A dangerous aura emanated from her.
Clearly, the young womanâs patience had run out, and she was about to resort to some unconventional means.
Yi Bai and Mo Liya did not speak; their silence was an evident agreement with Yikaliâs words.
âAlas,â Jiang Xu sighed, âI really didnât want to reveal this so soon.
But since you insist on acting this way, fine then.
Letâs lay all our cards on the table. Now⦠letâs have everyone witness the moment the Yi Bai family bows their heads to meâ¦â
