Chapter 682: Chapter 682: Giving You A Splendid Wealth

The Patriarch of the Bai Family had already hazarded a guess as to what Jiang Xu’s other demand might be.

Still uncertain, he asked cautiously, “What do you mean?”

“The next head of the family should be Bai Xiaoya,” Jiang Xu declared, shocking everyone present: “And she must be appointed now, immediately.”

“That’s impossible!” The Patriarch of the Bai Family refused instinctively: “In all the years of the Bai Family’s history, we have never had a woman serve as the family head.”

“Then let’s start now,” Jiang Xu said, his tone brooking no argument: “You no longer have any choice.

Either let Bai Xiaoya lead the family, and you can enjoy your twilight years.

Or, you can leave this world right now.”

After that, he leaned into the Patriarch of the Bai Family’s ear.

In a voice that only the two of them could hear, he said, “I’ve planted a listening device under your bed; all of your earlier conversation has been recorded.

If you don’t agree, after you die, I will release these recordings to the public.

At that point, the entire Bai Family will become the laughing stock of the world and forever nailed to a pillar of shame!”

“You!” The Patriarch of the Bai Family’s pupils dilated, and his blood pressure shot up.

Jiang Xu maintained a calm gaze.

Now, he held all the power in his hands.

“Fine, I agree,” the Patriarch of the Bai Family ultimately capitulated.

And upon hearing his words, the Bai Family descendants tied up on the ground, each strenuously struggled.

However, it was to no avail.

“A wise choice,” Jiang Xu smiled.

He then phoned Bai Xiaoya.

He didn’t tell her what had happened, just asked her to come over quickly.

In less than half an hour, Bai Xiaoya arrived.

Rushing into the hospital room, she was stunned by the scene before her.

“I thought something had happened to you,” Bai Xiaoya said, relieved.

When Jiang Xu had called her to come to the hospital quickly, she had panicked for a moment.

“What’s going on here?”

Jiang Xu went over the course of events, then asked, “Are you willing to become the head of the Bai Family?”

“I am,” Bai Xiaoya said, barely containing her excitement and emotion.

It was a day she had never imagined would come.

The head of the Bai Family.

It was a forbidden territory for women.

To become the head of the Bai Family required many procedures.

They were busy until the evening before everything was settled.

The old Patriarch had assets worth over fifty billion, but he left only five billion to himself; he transferred all the rest to Bai Xiaoya.

As for the other members of the Bai Family.

Ninety-nine percent of their assets were still under the old Patriarch’s control.

This was something they themselves were unaware of.

It was also set up to prevent certain unforeseen incidents from occurring.

Just like what happened with Bai Xiaoya before.

Even though the assets were in her name, the Bai Family could freeze them on a moment’s notice.

The assets of the other Bai Family members, when combined, exceeded one hundred billion.

The exact amount would take time to calculate.

This farce was thus brought to an end.

The Bai Family was now firmly in Bai Xiaoya’s hands.

Jiang Xu alerted An Feng and Fu Xinghan to stop further attacks.

And as for the Bai Family members filling the house, they could not possibly hold any grudges (homonym).

If they did, the Bai Family would truly be disgraced.

The old Patriarch’s intention was to banish these people to a small county town.

They would receive three thousand yuan each month, just enough to ensure they wouldn’t starve.

Their status as members of the Bai Family would no longer be acknowledged.

The recordings were also given to Bai Xiaoya.

With these materials, those Bai Family members who were exiled would no longer be able to stir up any trouble.

Afterward, Bai Xiaoya and Jiang Xu left the hospital room.

The Patriarch of the Bai Family needed time to recuperate.

He wouldn’t be appearing in public places anymore.

As long as he didn’t cause any trouble, Bai Xiaoya would take care of him until his old age.

An hour later, Bai Xiaoya brought Jiang Xu to the Bai family’s old mansion.

The ancient and exquisite mansion was filled with a sense of luxury and history.

Ordinary people would need a lot of courage just to step inside.

“Quite imposing,” Jiang Xu remarked.

As it happened, Jiang Xu hadn’t bought this kind of old mansion himself yet.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought about it.

It was mainly because at his age, living in such an old house felt somewhat awkward.

Perhaps when he was in his forties or fifties, having settled enough, he might design an old house for himself.

Bai Xiaoya said with a smile, “It’s the mansion’s honor to have Mr. Jiang set foot here.”

Her mood today was unprecedentedly good.

Not only had she exacted great revenge, but she had also been hit by a huge stroke of luck.

Even now, she still felt a bit dazed, as if she were in a dream.

Her gratitude towards Jiang Xu had reached an immense level.

It is said that choice is greater than effort, and that saying is indeed correct.

Knowing Jiang Xu had brought her greater rewards than a hundred years of her own efforts could have achieved.

They casually toured the old mansion.

Then they arrived at the main hall.

Bai Xiaoya said, “Wait a moment for me; I’ll go get something.”

Jiang Xu nodded.

But that wait turned into a good half an hour before Bai Xiaoya finally arrived, fashionably late.

She had changed her clothes.

It was a pale yellow dress.

Very figure-flattering.

She exuded the fresh scent of shower gel; she had obviously taken a bath, and her hair was still a bit damp.

It could easily make someone watch and become flustered, lost in thoughts of the past and future.

Jiang Xu said irritably, “You went off to take a bath and made me wait so long, is that proper?”

Bai Xiaoya didn’t speak but instead pulled at something behind her.

The dress slipped to the ground along her smooth, fair skin.

Underneath, she was wearing nothing at all.

Bai Xiaoya had been careful to close the doors and windows when she came in, so there was no fear of outsiders seeing.

“What are you doing?!”

Jiang Xu was shocked and quickly stood up, turning his back to her.

Bai Xiaoya spoke with pursed lips, “Don’t misunderstand, I’m not that kind of casual woman, nor am I trying to ruin the relationship between you and Nuonuo.

I just really didn’t know how else to repay you for the great help you’ve given me.

I know you won’t do anything.

Not doing anything is your prerogative, but I must show my sincerity.”

Bai Xiaoya had countless things pent up in her chest.

If she didn’t speak now, she felt she might go mad.

After confessing to Jiang Xu last time, Bai Xiaoya kept her feelings in check and just maintained a friendship.

But Jiang Xu’s repeated assistance had started to loosen the emotional seal within her.

Although she knew that a large part of why Jiang Xu did this was for his own company’s business empire,

Bai Xiaoya had truly received benefits and advantages.

And with the super incredible gift Jiang Xu gave her today,

her inner seal was instantly shattered.

Not caring about anything else, she wanted to express the feelings that had accumulated inside.

At least that way she would feel a bit better, otherwise, she’d go insane.

Jiang Xu laughed, “I understand, and I appreciate your sentiment.

Sister Xiaoya, it’s very cold now, quickly put your clothes back on, don’t catch a cold.”
