My Arrogant Young Lady

After a lavish family dinner, Wang Kun dismissed all his distant relatives, leaving only a dozen or so of his close brothers, sisters, and friends.

Sitting on the sofa in the Wang family's living room, I listened as Wang Kun kept telling me all sorts of strange and interesting stories to warm up the atmosphere, while the rest of the Wang family listened patiently. An Yao sat next to me, while Zhang Xuan and her aunt sat on a sofa not far from me.

The Wang family's chandelier cast a soft glow, and Auntie, sipping a glass of Romanée-Conti red wine, became tipsy. She then noticed Wang Kun recounting various strange and unusual stories. After a moment's thought, Auntie asked, "Wang Kun, who exactly is my Wang Xi?"

"Wang Xi?" Wang Kun smiled upon hearing his aunt's words.

At that moment, the Wang family's door was suddenly pushed open. One after another, men in suits walked in, placing large bags on the carpet in the middle of us.

When the men in suits had laid out dozens of large bags on the carpet, one of them opened one of the bags to reveal it was full of red banknotes.

Then, he placed a thick stack of documents on top of the large bags and said, "Master, the Hou family father and son have sent over the one hundred million they owed Prince Wang Xi, along with all their family assets. Please take a look, Prince Wang Xi."

Smiling, Wang Kun stood up and walked to the center of the living room. He then picked up a thick stack of documents from dozens of large bags and glanced at them. Gently setting the documents down, Wang Kun looked at his aunt with shining eyes, "Wang Xi, he's someone who can turn the world upside down with a flick of his wrist. Even if all four of our families and all the wealthy people in Mingzhu City were combined, we still wouldn't be worth even a tenth of the Wang family's wealth!"

Chapter 413 Donation

Instantly, her aunt's heart skipped a beat. At the same time, she looked at Wang Kun, whose face had turned pale. Gradually, beads of sweat began to trickle down his forehead.

I only glanced at the dozens of large bags in front of us, and then at the red banknotes peeking out from one of them. That one large bag alone contained at least several million dollars.

Zhang Xuan's expression changed, and she immediately stared at me with wide eyes.

Aunt's breathing suddenly became heavy. Then, her voice was dry as she said, "Wang Kun, is what you're saying true? Although I only graduated from junior high school, don't lie to me. I've seen a lot!"

Knowing that she was his foster mother's aunt since childhood, Wang Kun smiled and said to his aunt, "Aunt, what do you think of my Wang family's mansion?"

“Big. He’s all grown up now,” Auntie said.

"So, have you seen any of my Wang family's cars or helicopters?" Wang Kun continued to ask.

“I see! This is my first time riding in a helicopter.” Aunt nodded vigorously again.

"So, why don't you just take a banknote from here and try it out to see if it's real?" Wang Kun asked.

"This money shouldn't be fake, right?" my aunt said.

"So, do you think I, Wang Kun, would lie to you?" Wang Kun asked.

Hearing Wang Kun's words, my aunt nearly fainted from the sight of the dark figure before her. Then, she couldn't help but glance at me with a flickering look. She saw a faint smile on my face, and a soft golden aura emanating from me. This was an aura, something that couldn't be faked.

Finally, my aunt began to understand. It turned out that my family was so wealthy, but because she was so naive, she almost missed out on me, a golden opportunity to marry into the family.

"I am Wang Kun, the head of the Wang family, one of the four major families in the country. This is Nie Xiaohai, the son of the Sword God. And everyone you see at my Wang family banquet tonight is a prominent figure in Mingzhu City. Anyone who appears at this banquet in Mingzhu City tonight is worth hundreds of millions, billions, or even tens of billions. Forgive my bluntness, but anyone who can walk alongside Wang Xi is bound to rise to great heights. And his brothers are now figures who can roam freely in the underworld. Young Master Bao, don't you agree?" Wang Kun smiled as he looked at Young Master Bao and his companions.

"Of course! Who are my brother Xi's family? My brother Xi's father is Wang Yang, the famous warlord Wang Yang. And his mother is Qinghua, the number one martial arts master in the world. Even if that young master Hou's family has billions, he probably wouldn't be qualified to carry my brother Xi's shoes." Young Master Bao laughed.

“Since I started dating Brother Xi, I’ve never known what it means to be short of money. Brother Xi bought my grandma a big house and even hired a nanny to take care of her. Last time my grandma was seriously ill, Brother Xi sent someone to take her to Mingzhu City by helicopter.” Runtu nodded gently, his eyes filled with unspeakable gratitude.

“During my time at the Wang family’s house, I’ve seen many priceless treasures. I remember Wang Xi had a string of nine-eyed dzi beads, which were incredibly valuable. But when I arrived at Wang Xi’s house, I felt like I was at a wholesale market,” Lu Zhicheng said with a wry smile.

"Wow, you've made over a billion in such a short time, I'm impressed!" After glancing at his aunt, Heilong looked at me with admiration.

At that very moment, my phone pinged. I took it out and glanced at it; it was a payment notification. That kind person had helped me earn a lot of money again and had already transferred it to my bank account. Zhang Xuan seemed to remember something, then suddenly ran over and grabbed my phone.

Sure enough, it was my payment notification. Upon seeing the long string of numbers on the notification, Zhang Xuan's face turned deathly pale as she handed the phone to her aunt. "Mom, so Wang Xi has already saved so much money. I've only saved a little over four million, and I still have the nerve to brag to him..."

"How much money is this? How much money is this? Let me count, ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands..." As she looked at the long number in the payment information, her aunt's eyelids rolled back and she fainted.

"mom!"

When her aunt woke up again, she found herself lying in a room in the Wang family's house. In front of her were Zhang Xuan, whose eyes were slightly red, and her uncle, whose face was expressionless.

"Wang Yang, so Xi'er's father is Wang Yang. That Wang Yang used to be a big boss in the North, but he ran off abroad with a ton of money. Old Zhang, you were involved in that kind of thing when you were young, and you were with Wang Yang, weren't you? No wonder Xi'er's mother is so beautiful and has such an elegant air about her. Turns out, Xi'er's mother is that boss's woman, she's a 'blue and white porcelain' (a euphemism for prostitution). Old Zhang, you knew who Xi'er's father was all along, why didn't you tell me!" The aunt started berating her uncle as soon as she saw him.

"Heh, with your mouth, would I dare say it? If you knew the person fostered in our family was Wang Yang's son, wouldn't you be bragging to everyone every day? You'd want the whole world to know, wouldn't you? You know what kind of person Wang Yang is. Do you think someone who dares to go against Wang Yang's son is a nobody? If you let everyone know, do you think the three of us would still be alive?" Seeing that my aunt knew my identity, my uncle stopped hiding it. Finally, my uncle raised me to adulthood, and now I'm a man, capable of protecting myself and others.

"You spendthrift! You've ruined me! If Xi'er holds a grudge against me, I'll divorce you!" After thinking for a moment, the aunt didn't even bother to put on her shoes and ran barefoot out of the room.

My aunt had been asleep all night, and it was now the next morning. I was sitting in the garden of the Prince's mansion, a cigarette between my fingers, discussing matters with my brothers Wang Kun, An Yao, Wang Xiao Jiu, Nie Xiao Hai, and Young Master Bao.

"Were the people protecting the Hou family father and son sent out?" I asked.

“Yes, it was sent over last night.” Wang Kun nodded slightly.

“Yes, the Hou family father and son are indeed despicable, but their crimes don’t warrant death. As for the several top-tier experts that Young Master Hou previously hired, they were henchmen of the Desert Wolves from Africa. Five of them died, and one escaped. The escaped one will definitely go back and beg the leader of the Desert Wolves to avenge them. These mercenaries are arrogant and lawless. They will definitely come looking for revenge on me and Nie Xiaohai. Young Master Hou was their previous employer, so these people will definitely target the Hou family father and son first,” I said.

“The young master is kind and benevolent; it must be good fortune for the Hou family father and son in their past lives. If they had encountered anyone else, they would have been crushed without a trace,” Wang Kun said.

"It's not that I'm being kind. It's just that they've already handed over 100 million in cash and all their family assets. They're ordinary people now, and they can't pose a threat to ordinary people anymore. That's enough. I don't really want to protect them. My main goal is to capture the Desert Wolves. It has nothing to do with them, right?" I said with a smile.

"Of course!" Wang Kun laughed heartily.

Just as we were discussing serious matters and joking around, I saw my aunt run up to me barefoot.

"Auntie, why aren't you wearing shoes?" Knowing how quickly my aunt's mood could change, I took a deep drag of my cigarette and frowned at her.

"Xi'er, speak sincerely, is your aunt good to you?" My aunt looked at me with fervent eyes and said.

"Okay," I said against my will.

"Tell me more carefully, does your aunt treat you like her own child, and is she even planning to marry Zhang Xuan to you?" your aunt continued to ask me.

"Yes," I replied against my will.

“Xi’er, you’ve made something of yourself now. You’ve found your parents, and you’ve become rich, just like Alibaba from that foreign company. Xi’er, now that you’re rich, all the kindness others show you is fake. Now that you’re rich, only your aunt’s kindness is real.” My aunt looked at me with eyes full of love.

"..." After listening to my aunt's words, I felt that something was off about what she said. But I couldn't quite put my finger on what was wrong.

"Xi'er, you're so young and already so rich, your aunt is so happy. But you have to be careful of the people around you, be careful they don't take advantage of your wealth to cheat you out of your money!" After saying that, the aunt looked at Wang Kun and the others with a sly look.

"What!?" Upon hearing his aunt's words, Wang Kun was immediately enraged.

"Xi'er, if it's not possible, leave your bank card with your aunt. You have so much money in one bank card, be careful it doesn't get lost. These days, online money theft is really sophisticated, don't let them steal all the money in your bank card," my aunt said to me after taking a deep breath.

"Auntie, do you want my bank card?" I smiled.

"Yes, just leave it with your aunt. Your aunt is really good at saving money. Don't worry, your aunt will definitely save it well for you, and maybe even invest it to make some money for you. Even though the houses in Mingzhu City are changing every day, they're rising really fast. Your aunt will use it to buy a house for you, and you'll definitely make a lot of money." Aunt said with a fawning look.

"Haha, Aunt, you're so clever." Hearing my aunt's words, I smiled and stubbed out my cigarette. Then, I gently rubbed my fingers together and walked into the living room of the Prince's mansion.

In the center of the Prince's mansion's living room, there were still over a billion yuan that the Hou family had sent yesterday. One hundred million yuan in cash, plus the Hou family's assets worth over a billion yuan.

In front of my aunt, I took out a wad of banknotes from the open bag.

The moment my aunt saw the wad of banknotes I pulled out, her eyes lit up. Her daughter, Zhang Xuan, was going to marry me; she would be my mother-in-law.

I managed to get so much money in such a short time yesterday. If I don't give it to her, who should I give it to?

Thinking about all this, my aunt had already reached out to take my money. I just smiled at her and said, "Aunt, this money belongs to two generations of the Hou family. I obtained it by abusing my position; it's actually ill-gotten gains. You can't feel at ease spending other people's money. If I give this money to you, would you feel at ease spending it?"

"This...you must be worried, right?" Seeing that Wang Kun, Wang Xiaojiu, An Yao, and Young Master Bao were all looking at us, even Auntie, who was usually thick-skinned, felt embarrassed.

"Alright, let's donate all this money. And let's also use the more than 40 billion in my bank card for charity." Nodding, I handed the bank card to An Yao beside me.

Chapter 414 Imperial Relatives

Before her aunt could react, An Yao smiled knowingly. Then, she said to Wang Kun, who was not far away, "Wang Kun, can I borrow your laptop that you use for transferring money?"

“Okay.” Wang Kun’s eyes lit up and he immediately snapped his fingers.

The moment a loud snap echoed from the Wang family's living room, a middle-aged man carrying a laptop quickly approached us. The Wang family was a wealthy clan, one of the four major families in the country, and dealing with business transactions exceeding a billion yuan was commonplace for them. Therefore, a dedicated laptop for transferring funds was always carried by one of the Wang family's subordinates.

After the middle-aged man put down the laptop, An Yao gently pressed the laptop power button, and the laptop screen lit up in less than two seconds.

Then, An Yao's fingers flew across the notebook.

It wasn't until this moment that my aunt realized what was happening. I wasn't joking; I really was donating.

Moreover, I'm actually going to donate all of my more than 40 billion yuan.

In an instant, my aunt panicked. Sweat beaded on her forehead, and her face flushed red with anxiety. She practically wanted to snatch An Yao's laptop. She rushed to An Yao's side and said to me, "Wang Xi, you child, how can you be so inconsiderate? Do you know how hard it is to earn money? How can you just donate it like that?"

When I acquired most of the family fortune in the North, I already stated that I would use the money for charity, to help the poor and enable them to live a better life. Seeing my aunt's anxiety, I smiled and said, "Aunt, this money belongs to someone else, not something I earned myself. I wouldn't feel comfortable spending it; it's better to donate it all."

“Wang Xi, have you thought this through? This is over 40 billion! That’s no small sum. If you want to do good deeds, donating 200 yuan would be enough. Donating so much is a bit wasteful. And do you even know where you’re going to donate it? Are you sure you trust those people? What if they don’t use the money for charity and instead embezzle it?” My aunt was getting increasingly anxious, looking at me with difficulty breathing.

“Aunt, you can rest assured. The charity we’re donating to is a group of volunteers who have spontaneously formed their own organization. They don’t ask for any compensation; they only want to help people in need. This charity was established three years ago. They are all people we’ve vetted, and their character is absolutely guaranteed. We trust them to use this money. Besides, this money is donated by the Wang family, and no one would dare to misappropriate a single penny of our Wang family’s donation.” I said with a smile, lighting a cigarette.

"Brother, the money has been transferred." Sitting in front of her laptop, An Yao inserted the card into the card reader connected to the laptop. Then she quickly started typing on the laptop, gently pressing the enter key.

Instantly, a long loading bar appeared on the laptop screen. On that bar, a long string of numbers was rapidly being transferred into an account.

Almost every second, hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars are transferred out of this computer. And that's all money! It could fill an entire room with banknotes.

Seeing that we had actually transferred all the money away, my aunt's eyes immediately filled with despair. Then, she felt a tightness in her chest, and pointed at me with heartbreaking pain, crying out, "Wang Xi, you really transferred all this money out?"

"Who do you think you are? What do you think your Wang family is? You're such a hypocrite, you've become such a hypocrite..." As she spoke, Auntie felt another tightness in her chest, almost vomiting blood. Then, glancing at the progress bar on her laptop showing the transfer was complete, Auntie immediately tore her hair apart and burst into tears, "Wang Xi, you little brat, you're so despicable! You fucking transferred so much money just like that. You'd rather donate it to someone else than give it to your aunt, wouldn't you? You've been holding a grudge against your aunt for treating you badly, haven't you? Fine, you're really something. You can forget about marrying my daughter, our relationship ends here. You little brat!"

My aunt really wanted this money. But seeing that I had donated it all, she knew I could never get it back.

In an instant, my aunt was so angry she almost went crazy. She sat on the carpet in the Wang family's living room, throwing a tantrum and showing no mercy, having completely lost faith in life.

Wang Kun saw that his aunt had just been so loving towards him, but now treated him like a mortal enemy. He couldn't help but sigh softly, "If there's anyone in the world who changes their face the fastest, it has to be the young master's aunt."

"Money, all my money is gone. Hundreds of billions, just like that. I can't buy the villa anymore, I can't buy the nice car. I even wanted to get plastic surgery, that's ruined now too..."

Many members of the Wang family heard their aunt's pig-like screams. Their uncle and Zhang Xuan ran downstairs and were stunned to see their aunt's frenzied state.

"Young Master, here's another hundred million in cash and over a billion in assets. What should we do with this money?" Seeing his aunt throwing a tantrum, one of the Wang family's subordinates seemed somewhat helpless. Then, he frowned, walked over to me, and whispered his question.

"Oh, right, there are still over a billion..." Hearing the subordinate's words, my aunt's eyes regained their sparkle. Then, she couldn't help but look at me.

In just a short while, I donated all of the more than 40 billion yuan. In my aunt's eyes, this was like cutting off her flesh, drinking her blood, and taking her life.

Now, hope has been rekindled in my aunt's heart.

From childhood to adulthood, she knows exactly how I've treated her. Even if I had billions, she knows I wouldn't give her all of it.

So, how much money should I give her?

One hundred million? Two hundred million? One billion? I've already donated tens of billions, so giving her a few billion shouldn't be a problem, right? After all, I'm about to take her daughter away and marry her. She's my mother-in-law, and I definitely have to give her a dowry. She still has a chance with the remaining few billion. She absolutely must get her hands on this money.

After all, I'm going to marry her daughter, and she doesn't believe I would dare not give her this money.

Thinking of this, my aunt's expression softened slightly. Taking tens of billions of dollars from me was a bit excessive, even she herself felt. But getting a billion or so from me shouldn't be a problem.

My aunt smiled, tidied her hair, wiped away her tears, and said to me, "Xi'er, you've always been a kind child. I've watched you grow up, and I know you're the most righteous person. No matter how others treat you, you never hold grudges, and you're always very filial. Those billions, just donate them. Oh, you're so generous..."

At this point, my aunt felt another pang of pain in her chest. Then, after thinking for a moment, she smiled ingratiatingly and said to me, "Xi'er, why don't you give me the remaining billion or so? I've suffered most of my life for you. Now look, even though I've bought a house in Mingzhu City, after buying and renovating it, there won't be much money left. Xi'er, please help me buy a villa so I can live a better life. That way, when you take Zhang Xuan away, you won't have to worry about me anymore. With money, I won't need you to worry about me."

After listening to my aunt's words, I smiled and said to her, "Aunt, I was a little angry when you treated me badly when I was little. But so much time has passed, and I'm not angry anymore. Besides, you are Zhang Xuan's mother, how could I hate you? No matter what, I will take good care of you."

"So, you gave all this money to your aunt? Did you let her buy a villa in Mingzhu City? And a nice car?" Your aunt smiled ingratiatingly, her old face beaming like a blooming chrysanthemum.
