Give Me Your Hands and Marry Me Chapter 157 Dark Tide Surging

"Brother Xinglan!" Shanshan let out a cry.

A Miao took the opportunity to push Shen Xinglan away, who hid his disgust as he turned to look at her.

"Why are you here?"

"To come and have dinner with you!" Lil Xi held Shanshan as they came over.

A Miao's attitude toward Lil Xi, like Shanshan, had changed from ignoring them to hating them. She did not agree with the value of hurting others who were irrelevant for the sake of those she liked.

"Long time no see." Lil Xi said hello to A Miao in a weird way.

A Miao did not even look at him. She turned and got in the car and drove off.

"Pfft, just an abandoned woman, still so arrogant." Lil Xi spat and stared at Shen Xinglan.

Shanshan quietly tugged at his skirt. "OK, I'm hungry, let's go! Brother Xinglan, what would you like to eat?"

"I have a dinner party. You go by yourself." Shen Xinglan let Lil Xi look at him expressionless in the car.

Lil Xi saw that he had not become emotional because of that woman, and relieved. But when he said he would not go to dinner, he scoffed with a cry. "When we came, we asked your assistant and he said you had nothing to do today."

"It was a last-minute appointment." Shen Xinglan sat in the car and looked at them. "I'll take you there to eat."

Upon seeing this, Shanshan hurriedly pulled Lil Xi into the car. "Brother Xinglan has something to do. We can just eat by ourselves!"

"Are you really busy?" Lil Xi did not believe it very much.

Shen Xinglan motioned for Shen II to drive as he glanced at Lil Xi. "You can follow along."

"I'm not going!" Lil Xi curled his lips. "Send us to the International Trade Center so Shanshan can have some steak."

When they arrived at the place, Shanshan reluctantly got out. The car started again, and Shen Xinglan's eyes became dark.

"Send someone to keep an eye on Lil Xi."

Shen I looked back at him and said, "Got it, Boss."

A Miao went home in a panic, took a hot bath, and went to bed. While she was daydreaming, she did not know when she had fallen asleep. When she was awakened by the phone, it was getting dark outside.

"Hello?"

"A Miao!" Xia Wan's voice came from over the phone, sounding very angry.

A Miao rubbed her eyes. The wake-up call made her tone not so good. "I said not to contact me. I have nothing to do with your family."

"Do you want to be so shameless? Did you make Jiang Quanyu not cooperate with the Xias?"

It seemed that Jiang Quanyu had closed the network over there...

"Do you think I am the boss or he?" A Miao yawned. "Do you think he will change his business for a woman?"

There was a moment of silence, and after a few seconds, Xia Wan calmed down. "Well, can you play around and help us cooperate?" Afraid of her refusal, Xia Wan added, "Don't worry, grandpa will give you dividends as long as Jiang Quanyu wins the development right with us."

A Miao laughed. "I said that this is Jiang Quanyu's own decision. I can't and have no right to interfere."

"You don't even want to be a middleman? We promise that it will be good for you." Xia Wan raised her voice. "You really don't care about the Xia family? Are you really not afraid of grandpa breaking away from you?"

"I don't care it!" A Miao went into the bathroom. "Your Xia family has nothing to do with me. Also, I especially want to know how the brain circuits of you and your grandfather look like."

Xia Wan did not understand. "What do you mean?"

"You caused my mother to be seriously ill, ignored me for more than 10 years, then you needed me and threatened me into marrying. Why do you think that after doing this to someone, they would help you without complaint?"

"Haha! Listen to me. I hate you all. I can't deal with my hate. How can I help you to speak?" A Miao sneered at her. "If you are brainless, don't treat other people like idiots!"

Xia Wan felt aggrieved, just wanting to scold her back, but over the phone came a beeping sound.

"That bastard!" She threw her cell phone onto the sofa.

Xia Yongqiang had been listening nearby. At this moment, his face was as black as carbon. He fiercely thumped the floor with his crutch. "Sure enough, she's just like her mother, they are both brutal and cold-blooded."

"Grandpa, what should we do now?"

Thinking that the cooperation with Jiang Quanyu was a lock, the Xia family did not invite the Bai family in this time. The Bai family was not easy to deal with either. They had contacted the Ji family without being noticed.

"The old lady of the Bai family really wants to marry Bai Lu into the Ji family?" Xia Yongqiang suddenly asked a sentence.

Xia Wan shook her head. "No one has mentioned this matter since Bai Lu made so much noise."

"I heard Ji Yan promised to marry her?"

"He'd like to, but Bai Lu doesn't want to."

When Shen Xinglan just left the Ji family, Bai Yongwei once mentioned that Ji Yan should marry Bai Lu. Unfortunately, both of them did not agree at that time. But Ji Yan simply could not maintain the Ji Corp, and if he were not the grandson of Bai family, the Bai family would have swallowed up the Ji Corp.

"Bai Yongwei brought up the old story again a year ago, but the Ji family was no longer significant at that time. The old lady asked Bai Lu, but Bai Lu was still unwilling, so it was over."

Xia Wan asked curiously, "Grandpa, why do you ask these questions?"

"It's nothing." Xia Yongqiang shook his head. "You go back first. This matter has nothing to do with the Bai family. You do what you should do."

Xia Wan hesitated. "Do you want to cooperate with the Bai family?"

"No." Xia Yongqiang's eyes flashed clean. "We'll look into it later..."

The next day, A Miao ran to the office to ask Jiang Quanyu.

"Is the Xia family looking for you?" Jiang Quanyu closed the document. "I should have told you in advance."

A Miao did not care. "What's the matter? I knew the result for a long time. Anyway, they can't do anything to me now."

"The Xia family has no time to harass you now." Jiang Quanyu pushed aside the chair. "The Bai and Ji families are enough to anger him, but now, all three of them want to move Shen Xinglan, but no one dares to move first."

Hearing the words "Shen Xinglan", A Miao began to become dazed. Jiang Quanyu came over and poked her in the forehead.

"What, is he looking for you again?"

"No..." A Miao concentrated. "Do you mean that all three families want to consume the Shen family?"

Jiang Quanyu picked up his coat. "Although I don't want to say this, the three of them are daydreaming. Let's go and eat!"

Originally, all of this had nothing to do with A Miao. As a result, two days later, the news suddenly said that the Shen family also took part in the bid for South City, and according to inside information, Shen Xinglan was poised to win.

"Do you know about this?" As soon as Jiang Quanyu came back that night, A Miao asked him.

Jiang Quanyu poured himself a glass of red wine. "Yes, the Shen family has already handed in the bid."

"He..." A Miao did not know what to say.

"You must be a reason for that," Jiang Quanyu said on her behalf. "But to the outside world, he must do this. Only in this way can Shen's power be demonstrated."

A Miao smiled as she thought of something. "Surely, the Xia family can't expect that?"

"Haha, I guess that the Ji Corp is the one who is most sullen."

At the Ji family villa—

"Mom, I think Shen Xinglan is bluffing. Where did he get so much money?" Ji Yan cocked his leg and sat on the sofa. "I don't believe he will really bid."

Bai Yongwei was less optimistic than he was. "Have you forgotten? He made the Ji Corp bigger in just three years. I believe he has this ability."

"Mom, what do you mean?" Ji Yan did not like that. "Now I am the boss of the Ji Corp!"

"What are you going to do?" Bai Yongwei frowned. "Do you want to cooperate with the Bai family to take down this bid?"

Ji Yan listened to these words and continued to look worse. The Bai family had asked for a lot of benefits from his hands over the past few years. Bai Yongwei was always playing in the middle, making him not argue about it.

But how could he not care? They belonged to the Ji family. If Ji Zeming knew, he did not know what would happen...

"Don't mention working with grandma in the future." Ji Yan was in a bad mood as he said, "Cousin marrying cousin, how could you come out with it... You have to tie the two together just to be comfortable?"

Bai Yongwei glared at him. "You child, isn't your mother doing it for your own good?"

"Mom, wake up!" Ji Yan hissed. "The Bai family belongs to Bai Youran and it has nothing to do with me. My surname is Ji. We took so much trouble to take the Ji Corp down. I don't want to change its surname to Bai one day."

When Ji Yan got up and walked upstairs, Bai Yongwei was angry with what he said, but she also knew it was true.

"What are you going to do about the bidding?"

Ji Yan motioned with his hand. "Don't worry, let Shen Xinglan and Jiang Quanyu fight over it!"

At the end of the month, the bidding meeting was to be held as scheduled. After sending Jiang Quanyu away early in the morning, A Miao went to the company's warehouse to sort out the latest items, and she received a phone call shortly afterward.

"A Miao, would you please send me something?"

It turned out that Jiang Quanyu's assistant made a mistake and lost a very important document.

"Got it." After hearing what he said, A Miao went to the office immediately. "I'll print it out and send it to you."

In order to avoid meeting with Shen Xinglan, A Miao handed the document to Jiang Quanyu and was ready to leave. Who knew that she would be stopped at the door?

"Sure enough, you haven't given up." Lil Xi looked at her in disgust. "You know that Shen is here, so you can run into him?"

A Miao scoffed and moved a few steps to the side, but Lil Xi followed and blocked her way.

"What do you really want to do?" A Miao had to stop. "Get out of the way if you don't have something."

Lil Xi looked at her with a sneer. "How nice you are to be far away from Shen, why do you still appear?"

"Is this your home?" A Miao was a little angry. "It's none of anyone's business where I go. If you don't get out of the way, I'll have to call the guards."

"I won't let you pass!" Lil Xi folded his arms. "I'm not glad, can you bit me?"

A Miao really did not want to tangle with him, so she turned around and headed for the side door. She did not see Lil Xi's interesting and proud smile after turning around.

The side door was next to the underground garage, and A Miao's car was parked in the square above. She had to go through the underground garage to get back to it. Halfway through, she suddenly heard someone calling her.

"A Miao?"

A Miao twisted her head to see Ouyang Jin and Ding V sitting in a car smiling at her.
