“Are you kidding me… Go ahead! Check it!” the woman commanded arrogantly . The shop assistant did as she was bid in resignation, and then said gingerly, “Miss, your current balance is 1 . 9 million with an overdraft allowance of 200,000…”
She then slowly showed them An Xiaxia’s card, which was black on both sides . A hush fell over the group of people .
A black card symbolised its owner’s social status, for it was only issued to people like high-ranking government officials or billionaires .
“This young lady here has a black card . Theoretically speaking, she can buy an aeroplane with it if she wants to…” the shop assistant said gingerly .
She had only seen images of such a card on the internet and never thought she would be able to hold one in real life .
The woman went as pale as a sheet . Her plan had been to stick up for Li Fanxing, but she had gotten her own face slapped instead . It was utterly humiliating!
Li Fanxing let out a laugh and put her sunglasses back on . “Good job . ”
The words seemed to be squeezed out through her teeth .
An Xiaxia calmly took her card back .
She had gotten this card in a rather awkward manner: Mr . Song had sent it to her with no further instructions .
He had given An Xiaxia a seven-figure check before, and this card only convinced An Xiaxia that… he was a pervert .
She had used the money from the check to hire bodyguards and had put the card away . She had never expected to use it like this today .
After leaving the mall with her things, An Xiaxia realized what had been nagging her .
Why was Li Fanxing… in Ye City, too?
Once she was back home, she searched up Li Fanxing online .
Li Fanxing had had quite a few parts in various shows in the past few years . Although her acting was as bad as ever, she prevailed over other actors in terms of volume . There was a time when one couldn’t watch a drama without seeing her, making her a somewhat famous supporting actress in the country .
That was right, her acting career was characterized by minor parts .
She had distanced herself from showbiz in recent years and had done a management degree abroad . It could be assumed that in a few years, she would take over the operation of her family business .
Another name kept being mentioned together with hers .
An Xiaxia hesitantly clicked on a link, which led her to a piece of news from some tabloid .
“Seven years ago, the Sheng family released news that the Sheng and Li families were to be joined in marriage . So, is Sheng Yize going to marry Li Fanxing? Please follow our in-depth analysis of the path they have walked so far…”
Below was a lengthy passage which sang praises of their relationship .
An Xiaxia sighed . So, the two families wanted the marriage…
Somehow, she was a little disappointed by the news . An Xiaxia sat there dazed for a long while before summoning up her courage and typing Sheng Yize’s name into the search box .
There wasn’t much information on Sheng Yize online, and most were interviews he had given when he was still an idol . He almost never appeared on camera after he went into business and the only times his name was mentioned was when financial professionals talked about him as a talented and resolute young business genius .
He had created more records than An Xiaxia could count in the stock market, in business operations, investments… and he had done remarkable things in many other areas .
An Xiaxia stared blankly at the screen for a moment before closing the webpage .
He seemed more unattainable than ever .
Her phone then began to ring . She picked it up and saw that it was from Nero Zhou .
“Yes?” He wasn’t going to send her out on some job at this hour, was he?
“Holy Jesus! Your husband is injured . Aren’t you going to see him at the hospital?” Nero Zhou sounded exasperated . “People’s Hospital, third floor, the VIP ward . Hurry up!”
An Xiaxia sat there befuddled for a moment before she realized who Nero Zhou was talking about . He didn’t mean Sheng Yize… did he?
