Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 376 He Came and He Left

"Whether it's convenient or not is not up to you to decide."

Yan Baiqiu was not angry at Xia Xiwei's obstruction. She said something lightly, then her eyes passed Xia Xiwei and looked directly at Zhou Wang.

"Xiao Zhou, are you planning to let Xiwei handle everything for you?"

When Yan Baiqiu said this, there was a hint of contempt in his eyes.

"Auntie, you're joking."

Zhou Wang smiled and pulled Xia Xiwei away. "Since Auntie wants to chat with me, I am of course very happy to do so. However, there is no need to chat alone in this place. Auntie, please say whatever you want to say here."

Yan Baiqiu thought that young people really couldn't stand provocation. She was also a little disdainful of Zhou Wang's request not to be alone with her. In her opinion, this was obviously a sign that Zhou Wang lacked confidence or had no self-confidence.

However, Yan Baiqiu saw that her goal had been achieved, so she did not continue to insist. She just nodded and smiled faintly, "Okay, Xiao Zhou, I am a straightforward person, and I will speak openly about some things. If there is anything that makes you uncomfortable, please don't mind it."

"Auntie, please speak."

Zhou Wang didn't comment, just smiled.

Yan Baiqiu raised her eyebrows slightly. She probably didn't expect Zhou Wang to be unwilling to say even a polite word. However, she didn't care and just said:

"I want to confirm, are you really dating our Xiwei? I know Xiwei's personality, she is capable of finding someone to pretend to be her boyfriend... I hope you won't lie to me."

After Yan Baiqiu finished speaking, he stared at Zhou Wang, trying to put psychological pressure on him, but Zhou Wang didn't seem to react much. He just glanced at Xia Xiwei, who was unconsciously a little nervous, and nodded and said:

"Yes, Auntie, we are indeed in love... If you want to know the specific progress, it's probably that we had breakfast together today."

Yan Baiqiu was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while.

The two men next to them looked excited. Good boy, this is the girl's home, and we elders are sitting here!

Xia Xiwei didn't expect Zhou Wang to be so bold. Although it was exactly what she wanted, Xia Xiwei's face still blushed, and she felt angry and amused...

Although she has a generous personality, she is still a serious virgin. Well, now her reputation in the family is completely ruined.

However, when Xia Xiwei saw Yan Baiqiu's face suddenly turn ugly after he reacted, she was still secretly happy.

When you can see someone get humiliated, reputation doesn’t matter anymore.

Anyway, ever since she entered the entertainment industry, there have been even more unpleasant rumors, and Zhou Wang has been relatively reserved.

However, Yan Baiqiu was not an ordinary person. She quickly calmed down. After realizing that the young man in front of her was not pretending to be calm, but really had no awe of her, Yan Baiqiu's face turned cold.

"Xiao Zhou, do you really know what it means to be in a relationship with Xiwei?"

"I don't quite understand what you mean, Auntie."

"From your accent, you're not from Beidu, are you? Can I ask what your parents do?"

"I am from Yunnan Province, and my parents are ordinary workers."

"That's it." Yan Baiqiu shook his head. "No matter what era it is, marriage always emphasizes a good match. Of course, you young people may not agree with this statement, but you have to understand..."

"No, Auntie, I quite approve of it."

Zhou Wang interrupted Yan Baiqiu at this time and said with a smile: "The economic base determines the superstructure. We learned this sentence in high school."

Yan Baiqiu glanced at Zhou Wang in surprise, "Since you know this, you should also understand what Auntie meant..."

"I understand, of course I understand." Zhou Wang nodded, "Don't worry, Auntie, I won't despise Xiwei. No matter what, I will treat her equally."

"?"

Yan Baiqiu was stunned for a moment. His uncle next to him choked as soon as he picked up the tea bowl and started coughing.

"Xiao Zhou, there's no point in being unreasonable. Do you really have to be so straightforward? Even if you didn't understand what kind of family we are before, you should know it now. No matter from which angle, Xiwei and you are impossible."

Yan Baiqiu took several deep breaths before he controlled his anger.

"Oh, Auntie, are you saying that I am not worthy of Xiwei?"

Zhou Wang suddenly realized and shook his head, "Then I can only say that you may not know me well enough, Auntie. I am actually quite good."

"Heh, I just heard from Siyun, Xiwei's aunt, that you should have made some money... Judging from your age, you should have just graduated from college, which is indeed a small achievement, but..."

"I don't know how Auntie defines 'some money'. If a few billion is also some money, then indeed, I have only achieved a small amount."

Zhou Wang smiled faintly and interrupted Yan Baiqiu again.

More than a dozen...hundred million?

Yan Baiqiu was stunned again. Just as he was about to sneer and ask Zhou Wang if he knew what it meant to have assets worth over 1 billion, his uncle Xia Yance suddenly interrupted him:

"Ahem, sister-in-law, this... Mr. Zhou's watch is a Patek Philippe, and the market price is about five or six million."

Xia Yanze didn't know whether Zhou Wang was bragging or not, but a watch worth six million yuan could at least explain a lot. He knew that his sister-in-law never paid attention to luxury goods, and he reminded her of this because he was worried that she would embarrass herself again.

A six million watch?
Yan Baiqiu was startled again, and his eyes unconsciously lingered on the star-studded watch on Zhou Wang's wrist, but soon, Yan Baiqiu withdrew his gaze and continued with a cold expression:
"Xiao Zhou, it seems that you are indeed better than many of your peers, but I'm sorry, for ordinary rich people..."

"Auntie, that's really a coincidence. I happen to be extremely rich."

"you……"

After being interrupted by Zhou Wang for the third time, Yan Baiqiu was finally so angry that her body trembled. She couldn't help but sneered: "Oh? Then Auntie would like to hear, what is your special method?"

"Actually, Auntie, you only need to ask around in the circle to find out. I should be quite famous in Beidu recently."

"You are really the Dragon King yawning, you are so arrogant..."

Before Yan Baiqiu, who was so angry that he laughed, could say anything, there was a sudden noise outside the main hall door. Then Xia Xiwei's aunt Yan Siyun poked her head out, first glanced at Zhou Wang with a strange look, and then quickly said:

"Sister, interrupt me for a moment. Um... I just received a call from the sentry box. It should be Jiang Minghao who has arrived."

Yan Baiqiu knew that Yan Siyun had been eavesdropping, and she couldn't help but glare at her. However, when she heard that Jiang Minghao had arrived, she didn't want to scold her sister anymore. Just as she was about to reply, she heard Zhou Wang beside her say in surprise:
"Jiang Minghao? What is he doing here?"

Zhou Wang originally wanted to ask Xia Xiwei this question, but Yan Baiqiu heard it. She suddenly stopped being angry and instead looked at Zhou Wang with a smile.

"Xiao Zhou, do you know Jiang Minghao?"

"I know. How could I not know? They are the famous Four Young Masters of Beidu. I have dealt with them several times... Not only Jiang Minghao, but I am also very familiar with Qiu Zeyu, Xue Peng, and Yan Lingchuan!"

After hearing the first half of Zhou Wang's sentence, Yan Baiqiu had already prepared a speech in his mind, wanting to use Jiang Minghao's reputation to persuade Zhou Wang to retreat, but after hearing the second half of Zhou Wang's sentence, Yan Baiqiu didn't want to speak anymore.

She felt that the energy-cultivation skills she had accumulated for most of her life had been completely destroyed by Zhou Wang today... How could there be a young man with such a tough mouth?

Not to mention Yan Baiqiu who was extremely angry, even Yan Siyun who eavesdropped on the whole process couldn't help but glance at Zhou Wang, trying hard to hold back her laughter.

This guy is really nothing but boastful!
So you are familiar with all the four young masters of Beidu?

"Hey, Mr. Zhou, do you know where Xue Peng is now?" Yan Siyun wanted to tease Zhou Wang, so she interrupted and asked.

Zhou Wang glanced at Yan Siyun. From the way she addressed Yan Baiqiu just now, Zhou Wang had already guessed her identity. She should be Xia Xiwei's aunt.

She looked to be in her thirties, dressed in a mature professional style, with a great figure and good facial features. She was considered an above-average beauty. Her smiling face was also very pleasing. In short, she was much more pleasing to the eye than Yan Baiqiu.

So even though he could hear her teasing, Zhou Wang didn't mind it. He just nodded and said, "I know, it's a detention center."

"Hey, you are quite well-informed."

Yan Siyun didn't expect that Zhou Wang actually knew it, and she was surprised.

"It's hard not to be well-informed. After all, I was the one who sent him in."

"puff!"

Yan Siyun really moved to Bengbu this time.

She suddenly felt that Zhou Wang was quite interesting. At least it was fun to chat with him.

Yan Baiqiu didn't want to say anything more. She took a deep breath and quickly said to Zhou Wang:

"Xiao Zhou, if you don't want to humiliate yourself, leave now. You are not welcome here... Siyun, come with me to pick up Minghao."

After Yan Baiqiu finished speaking, he turned and walked outside, intending to find Jiang Minghao first and explain things to him.

"Auntie, I'll go with you... It just so happens that I need to talk to him about something."

Yan Baiqiu and Yan Siyun had just taken a step when Zhou Wang caught up with them, followed by Xia Xiwei who looked like she was watching a show.

Yan Baiqiu didn't expect that Zhou Wang was not only stubborn but also such a rogue. She could only pretend not to see it and walked quickly outside.

But Zhou Wang was curious and asked questions: "Auntie, can I ask, what is Jiang Minghao doing here? Is he here to celebrate the old man's birthday?"

"Xiao Zhou, I didn't want to say it at first, but since you asked, I will tell you clearly."

Yan Baiqiu stopped and said coldly: "Xiwei probably hasn't told you that Jiang Minghao and our Xiwei were engaged when they were children. To be honest, Xiwei's father and I are already arranging their marriage, so if you still want to save some face..."

"Is there still this matter?"

Zhou Wang had actually heard Xia Xiwei mention it a long time ago, but he still pretended to know it and said in surprise: "Jiang Minghao didn't tell me when we were drinking tea the day before yesterday... No, I have to ask him what's going on."

Having said that, Zhou Wang didn't care about the stunned Yan Baiqiu and others, he suddenly quickened his pace and walked outside first.

Yan Baiqiu didn't know what Zhou Wang wanted to do, but she was afraid of causing a bigger misunderstanding, so she could only quickly chase after him. Yan Siyun and Xia Xiwei followed closely behind. When they passed the second courtyard, the other two aunts who were waiting for the result saw a group of people walking out, and they all looked out curiously.

Yan Baiqiu and others were not as fast as Zhou Wang. When they arrived at the front yard, Zhou Wang was already shaking hands with Jiang Minghao.

"Boss Zhou, why are you here?"

Jiang Minghao, who was carrying a gift and dressed in formal attire, was stunned when he first saw Zhou Wang. He subconsciously shook hands with Zhou Wang who was extending his hand, and then said in surprise.

What Zhou Wang said today was true. The two of them did drink tea together the day before yesterday at the Jingwang Club. At that time, Jiang Minghao went there nominally to apply for a membership card, but his real purpose was naturally the Wangyuan Club, or to be more precise, the "Little Blue Bottle" project in Zhou Wang's hands.

It is difficult to evaluate the relationship between the two, because Zhou Wang had rejected Jiang Minghao's proposal for cooperation before, so it cannot be said to be good, but because of the current situation in the Beijing circle that Zhou Wang has stirred up, Jiang Minghao will not turn against Zhou Wang at this time, so it cannot be said to be bad.

At the same time, Yan Baiqiu and others also heard Jiang Minghao's question. Yan Baiqiu and Yan Siyun were a little stunned... They probably didn't expect that Zhou Wang actually knew Jiang Minghao, and it was obviously not just an acquaintance.

While they were stunned, Zhou Wang said with a smile: "I am here to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday."

"girlfriend?"

Jiang Minghao looked at Zhou Wang, then at Xia Xiwei behind him, and his eyelids twitched.

Xia Xiwei naturally wouldn't just stand there and do nothing. She came forward and took Zhou Wang's arm, and waved to Jiang Minghao with a smile, "Hello, President Jiang, long time no see."

Looking at the intimate posture of the two, Jiang Minghao's eyelids twitched again, but what impressed Zhou Wang was that he could remain calm at this time.

"Is President Jiang here to celebrate the birthday as well?"

"Yes, Mr. Xia and my grandfather were comrades-in-arms. He watched me grow up..."

"I heard that you and Xiwei had an engagement as children?"

Zhou Wang said with a smile, "Boss Jiang should not have any thoughts about my girlfriend, right?"

Jiang Minghao was silent.

Yan Baiqiu came to his senses at this time and was about to step forward to say something, but he saw Jiang Minghao take a deep breath and suddenly handed the gift in his hand to Brother Chen next to him, and then said to Yan Baiqiu:

"Aunt Qiu, I won't go in. Please help me pass the gift to the old man. I wish him good fortune and a long life."

Jiang Minghao smiled faintly at Zhou Wang, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, I know what I'm doing... I'll ask you to do me a favor later. I've reserved a table at Jingzhao Yin for a month. You can call me whenever it's convenient for you."

After Jiang Minghao finished speaking, he nodded to the stunned Yan Baiqiu and Yan Siyun, then turned around and left without looking back.

This time even Xia Xiwei was a little shocked, and her eyes looked at Zhou Wang with much more complexity.

She originally thought that what Qiu Zeyu said on the phone was somewhat exaggerated, but now it seems that Qiu Zeyu has been very subtle.

That’s the extremely proud Jiang Minghao!

Xia Xiwei couldn't believe that he actually left like this, and even gave Zhou Wang a smile...

……

A moment later, when they watched Xia Xiwei and Zhou Wang walking by, talking and laughing, and then saw Yan Baiqiu, looking distraught, following closely behind them, the aunt and the third aunt, who had been looking around in the yard, could no longer sit still, and hurriedly grabbed Yan Siyun, who was at the end and looked a little dazed.

"No, Siyun, what's going on? Why did you go outside?"

"Jiang Minghao is here..."

Hearing the two people's questions, Yan Siyun came back to her senses and said something in a daze.

Hearing that Jiang Minghao was coming, the aunt and the third aunt looked at each other and saw the gossip fire burning in each other's eyes.

Obviously, Yan Baiqiu's original plan to persuade Zhou Wang to leave failed. Zhou Wang undoubtedly ran into Jiang Minghao. No wonder Yan Baiqiu ran away directly...

With Jiang Minghao's personality, how could he tolerate his "fiancée" bringing another man home? Once the two of them collide, it will definitely be a thunder and lightning collision, and the scene will be extremely explosive!
For a moment, both women felt a little regretful. If they had known earlier, they would have run out together to watch the fun.

But before the two could ask further questions, Yan Siyun said:
"But he left again."

"what?"

The aunt and the third aunt were confused.
