A virtual princess? She's a real princess!

Chapter 252 Sibling Investment

Bian Xiao is incredibly proactive; she never procrastinates when it comes to making money, and she immediately called Tang Jiajun to discuss the matter.

"Okay, no problem, I'll book the tickets now and leave tonight." Tang Jiajun nodded. "Chairman Bian, how much should we bet this time?"

Although Bian Xiao and Bian He had told him many times not to call them "Chairman Bian" or anything like that, Tang Jiajun always strictly demanded this of himself at work. He only called them Xiao Xiao and A He in private.

"No limit, my brother can have as much as he wants. This time, it'll be at least 10 billion." Bian He's last investment was over 5 billion, but this time he's going for something big, probably starting at 10 billion.

“Okay, then if Mr. Lesmondia asks about this…”

"Just say it was a game between me and my brother." Bian Xiao didn't care. Even if she lost this time, so be it. She could just consider it a lesson learned. Anyway, her mommy and her daddy/brother wouldn't abandon her and Bian He.

"Tina, what are my plans for the near future?" Bian Xiao asked while eating breakfast.

The seaweed shrimp balls were really delicious, and paired with the fresh meat wontons, Bian Xiao was very satisfied and ate them several times.

Tina tapped on the iPad. "This morning, I spoke with Young Master Zhong and Mr. Yang about the official launch of the new software."

"Oh, that voice chat room," she nodded. "Continue."

"Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, Ms. Deng and representatives from Hunan TV will discuss variety shows..."

"I won't—" Bian Xiao was about to say what was so important about the variety show that she needed to go in person, but then she suddenly remembered that this variety show was a detective show that she was very interested in, and changed her question to, "Where is it scheduled?"

“Ms. Deng has made a reservation at a private tea room,” Tina replied immediately.

"Mmm," Bian Xiao finished the wontons in his small bowl. A maid brought him a damp cloth, which he used to wipe his mouth. Another maid then gave him a dry cloth.

Bian Xiao continued listening as the maid who was serving the dishes placed the purple sweet potato and peach blossom pastry she had ordered in front of her. It was golden and sweet but not greasy.

"Mr. Ye Jun's final match is on the 18th. Considering the viewing experience, we've arranged for him to be in the first row of the first-floor stands. We've reserved two rows of seats for him." Tina had seen the inner field tickets. They were close, but she had to look up to see, which wasn't as comfortable as the first row seats where she could see straight ahead. So she asked the person in charge to reserve two rows of seats and arranged enough bodyguards and assistants to take care of the young lady.

Bian Xiao leisurely finished his breakfast, followed by two maids, as they strolled along the lake feeding the fish. Despite the rising temperatures in Shanghai during the summer, the garden, with its lush greenery, remained relatively cool.

"Fifth Young Master, Mr. Yang, please." The butler led the two into the house.

"Aunt Hua, where's Xiaoxiao? It's so hot." Zhong Nanheng was only wearing a T-shirt and thin pants. His younger sister has always been afraid of the heat, and she always goes out to escape the heat in the summer. It's quite sunny in Shanghai today, so why isn't she indoors?

"Miss is feeding the fish," said Aunt Hua, the housekeeper, with a smile. "Today we're at Songhe Courtyard, a refreshing and elegant place, perfect for your business discussion."

“Oh, I knew Xiaoxiao couldn’t possibly be out in the sun. My mom even asked me when Xiaoxiao was coming back to Hong Kong after seeing her picture last time.” Zhong Nanheng said as they walked.

Aunt Hua is the old housekeeper of the Bian family. It seems that his mother also calls Aunt Hua "Aunt Hua".

"Fourth Madam still loves playing mahjong as much as ever. Fifth Young Master, Miss is in the room ahead, so I'll take my leave now." Butler Hua didn't respond to Zhong Nanheng's mother's words. After seeing her to the front door, he told the maid behind him to follow, and then he stepped back with a smile.

Unlike Zhong Nanheng, who was relaxed, Yang Jie was an outsider. So even though it was hot, he wore a formal suit and even tied his tie meticulously.

He didn't interrupt the conversation between Young Master Zhong and the butler, simply following behind like a mere accessory, his eyes discreetly observing the surrounding environment.

The area was shaded by lush trees, quiet and natural. The heat that had risen a few steps ahead dissipated here, and he exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Please come in," the maid pushed open the courtyard gate, and a faint fragrance of flowers wafted in. Yang Jie looked up and saw a girl in a yellow cheongsam and pearl shoes sitting by the pond, feeding the koi.

The girl's dark hair accentuated her fair skin and red lips. She turned her head to the side and smiled as she stretched out her arm, pinching a small handful of fish food from a delicate copper bowl with her fingers. On her fair wrist, two jade bracelets gently clinked together, making a tinkling sound.

In a daze, Yang Jie thought he had traveled back in time to the inner quarters of an ancient noble family and met some aristocratic young lady.

"Fifth cousin?" Bian Xiao reached out his hand, and the maids carefully wiped it clean. Zhong Nanheng stepped forward, glanced at the pool, and helped his sister up, teasing, "Still feeding it? Your fish is so fat it's like a balloon."

Yang Jie then glanced at the koi in the pond, and wow, they were all really fat and big.

"Fat ones are cute, you don't understand." Bian Xiao snorted and took Zhong Nanheng's hand as they went into the house.

"Your design is great, my dad liked it at first sight." Zhong Nanheng strolled around the study. "Which designer did you hire?"

“That’s a good question,” Bian Xiao replied, sitting in the main seat. “How would I know these things? You might as well ask Aunt Hua.”

"Who are you?" Bian Xiao gestured to the maid to serve tea.

"Hello Chairman Bian, I am Yang Jie, the CEO of DY Voice." Yang Jie is a classmate of Zhong Nanheng. He is not old, but he is indeed capable. Otherwise, Zhong Nanheng would not have chosen him to be the CEO.

After the three finished discussing business, Yang Jie tactfully took his leave, leaving the brother and sister behind.

"Huh?" Bian Xiao, seeing that the outsiders had left, sat lazily on the couch without any proper posture, completely unlike the dignified young lady Yang Jie had in mind.

After hearing Zhong Nanheng's words, he sat up straight with a quick movement.

"Really?" Bian Xiao was skeptical.

"Of course it's true!" Zhong Nanheng couldn't suppress his schadenfreude. "The Hong Kong newspapers are going to be very busy tonight!"

"I really didn't expect this!" Bian Xiao exclaimed in disbelief. "Don't they do DNA testing on their child after birth? They just accept him like that?"

“Those are all mistresses from outside the family. But she’s Li Laosan’s heart’s desire. What do you call her?” Zhong Nanheng thought for a moment, “She’s his white moonlight! She’s the woman who’s with him every day, practically his wife. How can you verify that?”

“And I admire that woman too,” Zhong Nanheng leaned closer, his eyebrows almost flying off, laughing uncontrollably, “Li San can’t have children, that woman drugged him.”

"Well done!" Bian Xiao clapped his hands. "Li Mingde must be furious."

"It's a great-grandson! He's not even one of our own bloodlines, so we can't have any grandsons, hahaha!" Zhong Nanheng laughed so hard he bent over.

"Serves them right!" Bian Xiao said viciously, "They should have known better than to bully Sister Yuling back then."

Bian Xiao had had enough of the preference for sons over daughters in her previous life, and she disliked people like Li Mingde.

"Li Mingde is so desperate for grandsons and great-grandsons that he's gone mad. If you ask me, which of those sisters isn't better than Li Shunjue?"

After chatting about gossip, the brother and sister went to congratulate Zang Yuling. Having divorced her husband after his infidelity and married his mistress, Zang Yuling, despite her assertive actions of taking her daughter's surname and divorcing him, was still ridiculed by many.

Now that the scumbag has gotten his comeuppance, his good friends are all congratulating him. Zang Yuling, who is far away in Y country, is so happy that she directly invites Bian Xiao and the others to Y country for a party to celebrate together.

Bian Xiao refused, as she was going to watch Ye Jun's match the day after tomorrow, while Zhong Nanheng went without hesitation.
