Chapter 76 So he's really that rich
“Auntie, even if you didn’t say that, I would still say it. I think Xiaoxiao is fine. Her aloofness is just a way of protecting herself,” Chu Xinglan said with a smile.
When Ye's mother heard Chu Xinglan say this, she felt as if a weight had been lifted from her heart. She never expected that this girl, at such a young age, could see through everything and understand Xiaoxiao so well.
"Auntie, where are you now? I'll push you back to rest." Chu Xinglan walked behind the wheelchair and pushed it.
"But Xiaoxiao and that gentleman..." Ye's mother was still worried.
"It's alright, that's Xue Bai, he's our colleague." Chu Xinglan realized that she had misunderstood Gu Ye when she saw Xue Bai there. Of course, this kind of thing should be handled by her future son-in-law.
"So you're Xiaoxiao's colleague. No wonder you're so nice to me." Ye's mother seemed to understand something, yet also seemed to understand nothing at all.
“Even colleagues might not be this nice,” Chu Xinglan said with a smile as she nudged Ye’s mother.
"Then he..." Ye's mother was even more confused.
"What do you think of Assistant Xue as your son-in-law?" Chu Xinglan leaned down and asked.
Suddenly, Ye's mother had a sudden realization: So that's what it was all about.
This Mr. Xue is not only handsome but also has a good personality. If he could become her son-in-law and take care of Xiaoxiao, that would be great. But even if she has her eye on him, it still depends on Xiaoxiao. She already owes Xiaoxiao too much and will not force her to do anything she doesn't like, especially something as important as marriage, which is a lifelong commitment.
"Xue Bai, what exactly do you want to do?" Ye Xiaoxiao angrily questioned Xue Bai.
"What's wrong with me visiting my future mother-in-law?" Xue Bai smiled.
"Who's your mother-in-law? Although you helped my mother and got her out of danger, I'm warning you, don't even think about using my mother to threaten me." Ye Xiaoxiao clenched her fists and raised them in front of Xue Bai.
“Xiaoxiao, I never intended to use Ye’s mother to threaten you. I helped her wholeheartedly. The reason I kept it from you was because I was afraid you would misunderstand.”
Xue Bai held Ye Xiaoxiao's hand and said sincerely, "Don't feel guilty. Just think of me as helping a friend."
"Do you think that if you don't want it, it won't happen?" Ye Xiaoxiao forcefully shook off Xue Bai's hand.
"No matter what you think or what you want, I can tell you that your wishes will not come true. I will not accept you, so you should stay away from us."
Ye Xiaoxiao turned and left after saying that.
"Xiaoxiao, do you really hate me that much that you won't give me any chance?" Xue Bai pulled Ye Xiaoxiao's hand again.
"Xue Bai, let me tell you straight, getting entangled with us won't do you any good. My mother's illness is going to cost you a fortune, it's a bottomless pit. We'll drain your savings, and you can't afford it." Ye Xiaoxiao stared at Xue Bai, her voice choked with emotion.
She didn't hate him; it's just that he couldn't be her other half—he wasn't capable of that.
“I know your mother’s situation. Even if I supported her for the rest of my life, it wouldn’t drain my savings.” Xue Bai was happy to know that she didn’t hate him.
"Since you know all this, where do you get the confidence to say such things? You've only gotten out of trouble temporarily; there will be a lot more trouble and sacrifices to come." Ye Xiaoxiao stared at Xue Bai as if he were an idiot.
There are men in the world even more naive than her.
"Xiaoxiao, if you're worried that you'll drain my family's coffers, then let me tell you clearly, I have more than enough to support you and your mother, let alone the entire Ye family."
"Where do you get such confidence? You're just a lowly assistant. Even if your salary is higher than others, it's only a few million a year." That salary is dozens of times that of an average person.
"I have an annual salary of ten million."
Xue Bai's words stunned Ye Xiaoxiao.
"Does Gu Ye have so much money he doesn't know what to do with it? How could he pay you such a high salary?" Ye Xiaoxiao thought she had misheard. This was just a small business owner, and the salary was what an assistant should get.
Xue Bai had anticipated Ye Xiaoxiao's strong reaction. He smiled and said, "This is just my salary. I also own five percent of Gu's shares, and the profits generated from that are immeasurable."
"Xue Bai, who exactly are you?" She originally thought he was just an assistant, but now it seems that he is not that simple. Otherwise, why would Gu Ye give him such a high salary?
"If you stay by my side, you'll gradually come to know what kind of person I am," Xue Bai said mysteriously as he approached Ye Xiaoxiao.
Ye Xiaoxiao took a step back and carefully examined Xue Bai.
"Since you're so rich, I can give you a chance to pursue me."
"Really?" Xue Bai was overjoyed.
"Don't you think I'm a gold digger?" Ye Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
She made it clear that she was only considering him because he was rich. Shouldn't he be disappointed, sad, or even look down on her?
“I know why you want money, so I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. Speaking of gold diggers, I know someone who’s even more greedy than you,” Xue Bai said with a strange smile.
"Who is it?" Ye Xiaoxiao seemed to know who it was, but she still wanted to hear it from Xue Bai's mouth.
"Chu Xinglan".
Sure enough, but she has an even bigger patron who lets her indulge in her materialistic desires.
Achoo! At that moment, Chu Xinglan, who was on the road, sneezed.
"Who's talking badly about me behind my back?" Chu Xinglan rubbed her nose.
"Perhaps someone is thinking about you," Ye's mother said with a smile.
"Impossible!" Chu Xinglan had just finished speaking when she couldn't help but think of Gu Ye, and her cheeks inexplicably turned red.
Meanwhile, Gu Ye, sitting in his office, was also holding a glass of water, lost in thought about Chu Xinglan.
"Miss Chu, do you have a boyfriend?" Ye's mother didn't see Chu Xinglan's expression, so she asked curiously.
"Not yet!" Chu Xinglan blurted out.
"Miss Chu is so young and beautiful, she will definitely find a good man," said Mrs. Ye with a smile.
"Auntie, stop talking about me. Aren't you curious about what Xiaoxiao was talking about with Assistant Xue outside?" Chu Xinglan decided to shift the blame.
Hearing what Chu Xinglan said, Ye's mother also became very concerned.
"I don't know where Xiaoxiao took Mr. Xue."
As if on cue, Ye Xiaoxiao and Xue Bai walked towards them, and they seemed to be getting along very well.
Did they successfully hold hands? Chu Xinglan wondered to herself.
"Xiaoxiao, did you offend Mr. Xue?" Ye's mother asked anxiously.
Xue Bai was, after all, their benefactor, so even if Xiao Xiao didn't like him, she couldn't offend him.
“Auntie, Xiaoxiao didn’t offend me, and she has already agreed to date me.” Xue Bai smiled gently.
