Super Rich by Doing as You Please

"Thanks."

Xu Yun went over to Old Lin, and they squatted side-by-side, brushing their teeth.

Watching Anar Guli prepare breakfast, he sighed, "Old Lin, you really need a woman on a road trip like this."

’Thank goodness there isn’t one,’ Old Lin thought with a sigh of his own.

Otherwise, how would he have survived this entire trip?

They had originally bought some local specialty foods, and soon, under Anar Guli’s skillful hands, a rather unique Xinjiang-style breakfast was ready.

Xu Yun, Lin Wanzhou, and Anar Guli sat around eating together.

Old Lin had developed the habit of eating quickly in the army. He polished off his food in just a few bites, said a quick goodbye, and went back to the car to sleep.

He had no desire to be a third wheel.

After Lin Wanzhou left, the two of them were left alone at the table. They looked at each other, and the atmosphere inexplicably turned ambiguous.

"This is the best breakfast I’ve ever had in the wild."

Xu Yun took the initiative to break the silence. "Your cooking is amazing."

"Not at all. I’m just glad you don’t mind it, Brother Xu."

After speaking, Anar Guli added guiltily, "Did Brother Lin not sleep well because I was restless last night and disturbed him?"

"No, he probably just stayed up too late listening to music on his headphones. It has nothing to do with you."

Xu Yun smiled. "After we finish eating, I’ll drive, and you can be my co-pilot. You can tell me about the scenery here along the way."

"Okay, sounds good."

Anar Guli nodded in agreement.

She knew that Xu Yun probably hadn’t slept well last night because of her, and driving while fatigued was very dangerous.

’He wants me to be by his side to keep an eye on him, to talk with him so he won’t doze off.’

’It’s all my fault.’

Anar Guli’s guilt deepened!

However, when she remembered how she’d spent the whole night touching Xu Yun’s abs...

’So embarrassing!’

’But thank goodness I only touched his abs in my dream and didn’t do anything more. If my hand had gone just three inches lower...’

’Even if he didn’t have any ideas before, I would have forced him to have some.’

’There are still two days and one night left of the trip. I really don’t know how I’m going to face him!’

’And...’

’Are we going to sleep together again tonight?’

...

In Hong Kong Island, Fu Baoying had been back with the little girl for some time.

First, she had someone buy a house for the child in Shenzhen and then registered her for a Shenzhen household registration.

Because the adoption was processed under Xu Yun’s name, the little girl’s surname was Xu, and she was named Xiaozhi.

Then, she also secured a Hong Kong Island household registration for the girl.

Thus, the girl named Xu Xiaozhi now had dual household registrations. She was enrolled in an elite kindergarten, with a dedicated car and driver to take her to and from school every day.

Don’t say it’s impossible or can’t be done.

Please. In this world, as long as you have money, you can buy privilege. What can’t be done?

Some rules are only meant to restrain ordinary people, not the privileged class.

The sudden appearance of Xu Xiaozhi shocked and surprised Fu Baoying’s secretary and some people at the Horse Racing Club.

She had inexplicably disappeared for a week and returned with a three-year-old girl.

And Xu Xiaozhi, under Fu Baoying’s guidance, had been calling her "Mama" the whole time.

Everyone saw it and heard it, and they all began to speculate about who the father of Fu Baoying’s child was.

After all, Fu Baoying was clearly not married!

But one thing was certain: as soon as Fu Baoying returned and got Xu Xiaozhi settled, she immediately sought out Ruan Guohua, expressing her hope for more business collaborations between them in the future.

At first, Ruan Guohua didn’t understand what Fu Baoying meant.

Why was she suddenly extending an olive branch to him?

Besides, everyone knew that she, Fu Baoying, didn’t have any industries or businesses of her own. What could she possibly work with him on?

But soon, a bombshell piece of news reached his ears.

A financial investment company called Cloud had suddenly appeared under Fu Baoying’s name!

According to the information, it had only been registered a few days ago.

If that were all, it wouldn’t have been such a bombshell.

The key was its registered capital: a staggering five billion, currently sitting in an account at the Bank of China!

The Bank of China in Hong Kong Island is different from the one in the Mainland. There are some distinctions; it’s not subject to domestic regulations, and funds can flow in and out freely.

Or rather, the level of supervision isn’t as strict.

This money had also been transferred from an unknown overseas fund, its origin completely untraceable.

So, how could people not be shocked when they learned this news?

Connecting this to the little girl she had recently brought back...

Could it be that the child’s father had set up this company for her?

A man who could casually give his woman five billion to start a company—how incredible must he be!

"Son, Fu Baoying recently brought back a little girl named Xu Xiaozhi. I don’t know whose child she is."

Ruan Guohua mentioned this to his son during dinner, intending to just think it over himself, but an offhand comment from his son instantly put him on high alert.

"Xu Xiaozhi?"

Ruan Qingnian joked, "What a coincidence, her surname is also Xu? It couldn’t be Brother Xu’s kid, could it?"

"You’re saying she’s Xu Yun’s child???" Ruan Guohua said.

...

Ruan Qingnian saw his dad suddenly staring at him with a serious expression.

He quickly explained, "I was just joking! How could she be Brother Xu’s child? They met for the first time at the racecourse that day."

"It’s not out of the question that they were putting on an act for your benefit."

Ruan Guohua muttered, "Maybe they’ve known each other for a long time, and are even a couple. Xu Yun’s trip to Hong Kong Island, ostensibly for sightseeing, was actually to see Fu Baoying."

"No way."

Young Master Ruan said, "I don’t think so."

"If they really did know each other before, then it would make sense how Xu Yun was able to win over 200 million from the racecourse with just 30 million."

Ruan Guohua ignored his son and continued his analysis. "Because for Fu Baoying, it’s entirely possible for her to manipulate the outcome of a race."

Ruan Qingnian was speechless.

’Holy crap, if that’s true, then their acting skills are way too good.’

’Also, if she really is Brother Xu’s woman...’

’Doesn’t that mean I’ll have to call her ’sister-in-law’ when I go to the racecourse from now on?’

’A sister-in-law is great.’

’It wouldn’t be too much to ask her for a private box on the fifth floor then, right?’

’Brother Xu and I are sworn brothers who’ve been through life and death together!’

"However, this is just my speculation. It’s not confirmed."

Ruan Guohua said, "Next time you go to the racecourse, meet with President Fu and probe her a little.

"Since she took the initiative to talk business with me as soon as she got back, if she really is Xu Yun’s woman, then we can consider ourselves on the same side now."

"Talk about what business?"

"You don’t know yet, do you?"

Ruan Guohua sighed. "Your Brother Xu, he gave Fu Baoying five billion right off the bat to open a financial investment company.

"It seems his trip was a pretense. He was actually here to survey the market and plans to expand his influence in Hong Kong Island through Fu Baoying."

"Damn, five billion!" Upon hearing this, Ruan Qingnian’s jaw dropped in astonishment.

They were both rich kids in their twenties, but when the other guy gave his woman money, it was five billion in one go. Meanwhile, his own entire net worth wasn’t even five million!

’Damn it, compared to him, I’m practically a beggar.’

’No, I have to go confirm this right now.’

He didn’t care about business matters, nor was he any good at them.

He only cared if Xu Xiaozhi was Brother Xu’s daughter. If what his dad said was true, then he, as her uncle, had to take good care of her.

Then, when he went to the Mainland to hang out in the future, he could take all the credit!

He walked out the door, got into his Ferrari, and drove straight to the Shatian Racecourse.

Except on Sundays, races weren’t usually held here, so it wasn’t crowded.

Ruan Qingnian went to the office area and said to the receptionist, "Please contact your President Fu for me. Tell her Ruan Qingnian is here to see her."

"Of course, Young Master Ruan. Please wait a moment."

The receptionist relayed the message to Fu Baoying’s Secretary Li.

After consulting Fu Baoying, Secretary Li came downstairs and led him to Fu Baoying’s office. She said, "Young Master Ruan, please have a seat. President Fu will be back shortly."

"Okay."

Ruan Qingnian had just sat down when a pretty little girl with two small pigtails crawled out from under Fu Baoying’s large office desk.

Ruan Qingnian was baffled.

Xu Xiaozhi squatted on the floor, tilting her head as she looked at the stranger who had suddenly appeared in her mother’s office. In a sweet, childish voice, she said, "Mister, you’re sitting on my little ducky."

"Huh???"
