After being reborn, who wouldn't want to have a younger sister?

Chapter 513 Asking for Clarity

Chapter 513 Asking for Clarity
What should you do when there are internal conflicts?
The best, and also the most effective, way is to find a common enemy outside and then unite against it.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Tao Shuxin frowned, looking at Xiao Yangzhi with suspicion.

"I've already said it, believe it or not is up to you."

Yang Zhi didn't want to argue with her; she just wanted to see what Xu Mingyuan was doing.

I didn't get a good rest during my lunch break today. Yangzhi didn't get enough sleep either, and Tao Shuxin came over. She doesn't know how to put herself in my shoes at all.

"Forget it, I'll go ask your brother to confirm it."

Tao Shuxin is straightforward and doesn't mince words. Even if she's a bit stubborn, she and Xu Mingyuan have already slept together, so she might as well ask him for clarification.

"No, how can you ask so directly?"

Yang Zhi panicked and quickly grabbed her.

"That's true. What if he still has ulterior motives? Wouldn't that expose us?" Tao Shuxin said, looking very conflicted.

"My brother wouldn't do that. You should just ignore Su Muqing from now on."

"You're not seeing things, are you?"

Tao Shuxin was still a little skeptical.

"My brother said I'm really good at judging people."

Yang Zhi emphasized it again.

"Alas..."

Tao Shuxin scratched her hair in frustration.

Su Muqing is a good friend, how could she be interested in Xu Mingyuan? Isn't that a bit immoral? She doesn't seem like that kind of person...

However, Tao Shuxin couldn't possibly disbelieve what Xiao Yangzhi said, because she had no reason to deceive herself with such a thing; what good would it do her?

To sabotage her relationship with Xu Mingyuan? Their intentions are despicable…

Xu Mingyuan didn't know what Xiao Yangzhi and Tao Shuxin were whispering about, but he noticed that Tao Tao was looking at him strangely.

"What's wrong?" Xu Mingyuan walked over and asked.

"Hum..."

Tao Shuxin turned her gaze away and ignored him.

"What are you humming about? You're just humming away," Xu Mingyuan laughed.

"huh huh huh huh……"

This made Tao Shuxin even more excited, and she kept humming at him.

Xu Mingyuan glanced at Xiao Yangzhi and saw that she was too embarrassed to look up, so he roughly knew what was going on.

Now, Xiao Yangzhi is no pushover either, sigh...

Feeling extremely guilty, Yang Zhi seized an opportunity to confess to Xu Mingyuan.

"Brother, I told Sister Tao Tao that Su Muqing has ill intentions towards you," Yang Zhi said, her head lowered.

"What ill intentions?"

"That's right, that's right, she has ill intentions..."

"Haha, you told her everything?" Xu Mingyuan laughed.

"No, I just told Sister Tao Tao to contact Su Muqing less in the future," Yang Zhi said.

"Su Muqing is far more rational than emotional. Her words were mostly probing. I always left things unsaid when I talked to her before, which may have made her misunderstand. I didn't tell Xiao Tao Tao about this, actually because I didn't have any other thoughts. She didn't have many good friends in college. Su Muqing is a very shrewd person, so I just thought I'd have her take Xiao Tao Tao out to play."

"Oh, I shouldn't have said that..."

"Go ahead and say it. It's nothing. Su Muqing has already graduated and can't help much at school. It's the same whether she's here or not. Hehe, you're quite something, you've even learned to act first and ask questions later. If Tao Tao had half your cunning, that would be great," Xu Mingyuan laughed.

"Brother, am I very cunning?" Yang Zhi asked, raising her eyes.

"It's alright, not as much as me."

"Okay, I need to learn more from my brother."

"Can't you learn something good?" Xu Mingyuan laughed.

“Brother is the best, how could he go astray?” Yang Zhi said with bright, sparkling eyes.

"what."

Xu Mingyuan reached out and flicked her forehead.

Xiao Yangzhi's green tea scent was almost overflowing. If she weren't only like this to him, Xu Mingyuan would have really wanted to kick her butt a couple of times.

Tao Shuxin keeps her mouth shut, but she can't hide her feelings; all her thoughts are written on her face.

"Little Tao Tao, what are you worrying about again?"

Seeing that Tao Shuxin turned her head to the side, deliberately avoiding looking at him, Xu Mingyuan asked the question knowingly.

"fine."

Hearing Xu Mingyuan's dramatic tone, Tao Shuxin felt sullen and didn't want to talk to anyone anymore.

"Are you really alright?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"No!" Tao Shuxin said angrily.

"Okay, I'm going to play games with Xiao Yangzhi."

"Ah-huh-huh-huh..."

Seeing that Xu Mingyuan didn't care about her at all, Tao Shuxin, who had been holding back, immediately started whimpering. "Haha."

"dare you laugh!"

Tao Shuxin threw a pillow at him forcefully.

"You said you were fine, is it because of Su Muqing?"

Xu Mingyuan took the pillow and threw it back.

Xu Mingyuan's aim was much better than Xiao Taotao's; after all, he had played basketball and hit her right on the head.

"No!" Tao Shuxin said angrily, shaking her hair.

"No? What do you mean, Xiao Yangzhi?"

"What? Xiaozhizhi told you?" Tao Shuxin turned her head, her eyes wide, and then said with a mixture of grief and indignation, "Oh! She told me not to tell you! But she secretly told you!"

How cunning! Tao Shuxin was practically spitting blood at this point.

"Are you stupid? You think she'll just leave you stuck here all by yourself if she doesn't tell you?"

Xu Mingyuan understood, of course, what Xiao Yangzhi's purpose was in doing this. She simply didn't want to take the lead herself, so she let Tao Shuxin, that fool, bring things to light.

"What am I holding back? I don't care what you and Su Muqing are doing," Tao Shuxin said.

"Oh, so you don't even call her Sister Qingqing anymore?" Xu Mingyuan laughed.

"Humph."

Tao Shuxin felt somewhat embarrassed, but the thought that Su Muqing had actually harbored wicked intentions towards Xu Mingyuan lessened her sense of shame.

No wonder Xiao Yangzhi didn't want her gift; she'd got her eye on Xu Mingyuan.

But then again, it makes sense. A young, wealthy, and talented guy like Xu Mingyuan would likely attract the attention of single women who spend a lot of time with him.

But doesn't Su Muqing have a girlfriend? Does Xu Mingyuan have the ability to straighten her out?

"Don't overthink it, I have absolutely no relationship with her," Xu Mingyuan said.

"Not a single penny? You're not even ashamed to lie now! You're partners, you're a shareholder, and you've even invested money!" Tao Shuxin said, pouting.

"Hey, stop nitpicking. I meant the relationship aspect. I told you to hold shares back then, but you wouldn't agree. Now you're finding fault with me, huh?" Xu Mingyuan said.

"That's a lot of money, how could I possibly take it?"

Tao Shuxin is straightforward and never learned to argue like Xu Mingyuan. Hearing his words, she couldn't help but feel annoyed.

“Starry Sky Technology is not listed, its financial reports are not publicly disclosed, and its shareholding method is very complicated. If you really calculate it, my assets should be in the top fifty. Do you think I need Jiugongge shares?” Xu Mingyuan said.

"Top 50? Does that include the entire world?"

Tao Shuxin was stunned, unable to believe Xu Mingyuan's words.

"The world will have to wait another two years, but it will be soon," Xu Mingyuan said.

Is it really that tall?

Tao Shuxin was a little confused. She hadn't seen Xu Mingyuan do anything, so how could his assets have increased so quickly?

"Otherwise what? Sailboat Technology's market value is over 15 billion, although it was inflated by the market, but the shares I hold are worth 2 to 3 billion in real value. Tongxue.com's market value is only higher. You know how much effort I put into Starry Sky Technology, the combined market value of those two companies is not even comparable."

Why are you saying all this? Are you getting arrogant and looking down on me?

Tao Shuxin didn't disbelieve what he said, because she had heard from her father that Xu Mingyuan's assets might rank among the top three in the province. Even if he was heavily in debt, being able to borrow money in this era was a skill. Xingkong Technology's cash flow was very healthy, otherwise her parents would have been worried about her and Xu Mingyuan's future long ago.

However, hearing it from Xu Mingyuan's own mouth still left Tao Shuxin somewhat dazed.

I used to hear that the richest second-generation kids were elusive and hard to meet, making it difficult to build relationships.

However, apart from rarely showing his face, Xu Mingyuan was not much different from an ordinary person. He would still accompany her to eat at roadside stalls. On the contrary, Xiao Yangzhi was more like a young lady from a high-class family.

“There are plenty of people I don’t like. I’m transferring the shares of Jiugongge to you, and you can handle the handover with Su Muqing from now on,” Xu Mingyuan said.

"I don't want it."

"What? You trust me a lot?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"I don't trust you at all. Sigh, I feel that Sister Qingqing is the most suitable for you. She is career-oriented and capable. She can help you in your career. I don't have that ability at all."

As Tao Shuxin spoke, she secretly glanced at Xu Mingyuan's attitude.

"You're silly. Relationships need complementarity, not a union of two strong individuals."

Is she very strong?

"So-so, she looks quite young in my eyes."

"Tsk tsk, isn't that a perfect complement?"

"What do we complement each other in?"

"You're so capable, she has to ask you for help," Tao Shuxin said sarcastically.

"You mean I should go and help her?" Xu Mingyuan asked with a smile.

"up to you."

"Okay, I'll go now."

"no!"

Tao Shuxin immediately jumped up and stood in front of him.
