Super Rich by Doing as You Please

They had just been talking about President Jiang. To think they would suddenly run into her now.

Not only that, but President Jiang was with Miss Xi—the very same woman she’d clashed with before.

Yu Xuan had gotten a taste of Miss Xi’s temperament.

’Li Jinshu over here is the jealous, possessive type,’ she thought. ’If they disagree and things blow up, they won’t actually come to blows, will they?’

To prevent such a scene, she quickly spoke up, saying awkwardly, "President Jiang, Miss Xi."

"It’s you?"

Hearing someone recognize her, Xino looked at Yu Xuan curiously.

"Hey, aren’t you one of President Jiang’s people?"

"Yes."

Yu Xuan smiled. "Miss Xi, long time no see."

"So that’s how it is, President Jiang. You’re playing dirty."

Xino froze for a second, a flare of anger rising in her.

She refused to believe it was a coincidence that she was just having a meal with Jiang Peiyao, only to run into her secretary with a whole group in tow.

Especially the looks they’d just given her—they were anything but friendly.

She said angrily, "President Jiang, so you’re inviting me to a treacherous dinner while having your people ambush me outside."

"Er, I didn’t arrange for them to be here."

Jiang Peiyao said awkwardly, "I had no idea Yu Xuan was having dinner with friends here."

"It really wasn’t you?"

"Miss Xi, please don’t misunderstand. It’s truly a coincidence."

Yu Xuan said, "We honestly didn’t know you two were eating here as well."

"Oh."

Xino looked toward Su Mu, Li Jinshu, and the others. "But," she said, "the way your friends were looking at me just now was a little unfriendly. Do they have some problem with me?"

"No."

Listening to their conversation, Su Mu quickly stepped forward to explain. "No, not at all. We just thought the fan in your hand was beautiful, so we couldn’t help but stare a little."

"Oh, so it was about this fan."

Hearing this, Xino smiled. "This is a gift from my future husband. It’s one of a kind."

’That’s not right!’

The moment the words left her mouth, she remembered that Jiang Peiyao, standing right beside her, had one too.

’Ugh, how annoying!’

"Your boyfriend is so good to you. You can tell he put a lot of thought into this fan."

"Of course he is."

Xino said, "Since this was all a misunderstanding, I’ll be on my way. Miss Yu, I’ll leave you to escort your President Jiang home."

’They were love rivals, after all. She had no desire to give the other woman a ride home.’

"Miss Xi, I think I’ll leave with you."

Jiang Peiyao objected. "Yu Xuan has her friends to entertain. I don’t want to impose on her personal time."

Xino was left speechless.

’So you don’t want to bother her, but you have no problem bothering me, is that it?’

But since Jiang Peiyao had put it that way, she had no choice but to take her home. She couldn’t just abandon her here and make her get her own taxi.

That wasn’t her style.

Besides, she’d been thinking.

They might be love rivals, but when she thought about all the other enemies out there, she figured the enemy of her enemy was a friend.

’I can get on good terms with Jiang Peiyao first, form a united front, and focus on our external threats!’

’Once all the other threats are dealt with, we can settle the score between us.’

’Hahaha, I’m such a genius.’

"Let’s go, President Jiang."

Xino suddenly smiled. "And on the way, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you."

Jiang Peiyao was speechless.

The moment the two women left the restaurant, Li Jinshu turned to Yu Xuan. "Was that woman just now President Jiang? Jiang Peiyao?"

"Yes, that was her."

"I’ve seen that woman before!"

Li Jinshu said, "Susu, do you remember? I told you I saw Xu Yun at the sales office buying a house with someone. The woman with him then—that was her."

"So they actually knew each other a long time ago!"

Su Mu said, "So it wasn’t like Yu Xuan said, that he only found her after his trip to Rongcheng."

"She’s very beautiful," Liang Yan chimed in, adding fuel to the fire. "No wonder Xu Yun treats her so well—letting her run a charity, giving her staff, giving her money."

Li Jinshu was silent.

Now that Song Xiaowei and Ning Qian knew that woman was President Jiang, they too felt a rising sense of crisis.

Jiang Peiyao was the very picture of a woman who needed to be protected—the gentle, virtuous, good-wife-and-loving-mother type.

"President Liang, who the boss chooses to be good to is his business," Yu Xuan reminded her. "As for your funding, the boss already approved it. He told me before he left that as long as the expenses are for a reasonable purpose, I’ll help you communicate with him about it."

"However much you’re short, I’ll figure out a way to get it for you when I get back tomorrow," Su Mu stared at her and said. "So stop stirring up trouble here. Don’t play with fire, or you’ll get burned. When Xu Yun gets back and finds out about this, he’ll settle the score. You know he holds a grudge."

Liang Yan fell silent.

Su Mu’s words weren’t just an idle threat; they genuinely scared her, so she wisely shut her mouth.

While she enjoyed watching the other women’s drama, she knew she truly couldn’t afford to get on Xu Yun’s bad side.

Her entire livelihood was in his hands.

In truth, aside from Jiang Peiyao, the other woman—Xino with the silk fan—had also caught everyone’s attention. They were all secretly wondering if she, too, had some connection to Xu Yun.

After all, it seemed that every woman who had received one of those fans was involved with Xu Yun in some way.

It was just that, for now, the full extent of everyone’s relationships wasn’t clear to all, creating a significant information disparity.

For example, Li Jinshu didn’t know that Xu Yun and Su Mu were already involved. She only knew that he had gotten together with Ning Qian.

Su Mu, in turn, had no idea that Xu Yun and Li Jinshu’s relationship had also become physical—and even earlier than her own. She’d assumed they were still in the innocent, flirty stage at most.

However, Su Mu was aware of the intimate relationships that both Ning Qian and Yu Xuan had with Xu Yun.

And Yu Xuan? She was keenly aware that Xu Yun had an intimate relationship with every single woman present.
