115: Zhang Bai and the Huo family

"Jingyao, what are you doing? Hurry and tell them to let me go. If you want to play, let's play at home," Kang Meng said, acting shy.

Lou Jingyao frowned as he looked at this woman; her expression didn't seem like she was lying.

"I've found it. This Kang Meng has delusional disorder. That man had plastic surgery to look like you and stayed by her side for a long time, so her subconscious actually believes you two are dating and even at the stage of discussing marriage." Heartless handed him the investigation results.

"Heartless, you did this on purpose, didn't you?" Lou Jingyao's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot when he saw the photos at the end.

It turned out that Heartless had also dug up the intimate actions between Kang Meng and that plastic surgery guy.

Just then, Kang Meng's phone rang, and a bodyguard handed it to Lou Jingyao.

Seeing that it was a call from her father, he answered it and put it on speaker.

"Mengmeng, did you have a fight with Jingyao? I just received word that the Lou Group and the Xi Group have both announced they will blacklist the Kang Family."

"Hurry up and apologize to Jingyao, don't throw a tantrum."

"President Kang, you've raised quite a daughter. The Kang Family should prepare for bankruptcy." Lou Jingyao hung up after saying that.

Leaving Kang Meng's father on the other end completely bewildered.

"Tell Baby that I'm going back to clean this mess up. Something like today will definitely never happen again." Lou Jingyao knew Gao Ying hated trouble the most.

He wanted to resolve this quickly and publicly announce that he had someone he liked, so that no more blind fools would come looking for trouble.

With no more excitement to watch, the crowd dispersed.

However, they were still curious about Gao Ying's identity. There were four top-tier families in the Imperial Capital.

Xi, Lou, Bai, and Huo.

Now, the eldest young masters of the Xi Family and the Lou Family had unusual relationships with this woman.

They wondered if the Bai Family and the Huo Family would also know her.

Some clever ones had already called home to report.

In the top-floor office of the Bai Group, Bai Jue also received this news.

He called his father: "Dad, that person has come to the capital. I'll deliver the invitation personally."

After hanging up, Bai Jue grabbed his coat and headed to the parking lot.

The Huo Family was also well-informed; their heir, Huo Yunci, was also on his way to the Starlight Club.

"How about it? I told you Wave Treader wouldn't be hostile toward me, but you guys didn't believe me." Gao Ying rubbed Wave Treader's head.

Wave Treader didn't refuse, standing there obediently, completely lacking the arrogant look he had at the beginning.

Xi Yan was also a bit surprised. One had to know that Wave Treader wouldn't let anyone but him touch him, yet now he was letting Ying'er touch him.

In fact, Gao Ying had just bought Animal Affinity from the mall, so even tigers or lions wouldn't attack her; instead, they would love to cling to her.

"Ying'er, Lou Jingyao went to deal with the Kang Family's affairs. He said he'll come find you after everything is settled." Heartless came over and relayed Lou Jingyao's words to her.

"Okay, I got it. Let's race." Gao Ying patted Wave Treader, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the two of them.

The two of them would certainly satisfy her request.

The three of them arrived at the racecourse and began the race.

Xi Yan and Heartless had good horsemanship and were evenly matched. Gao Ying's skills went without saying; her horsemanship was exquisite.

When Bai Jue and Huo Yunci arrived at the racecourse, they saw the high-spirited woman.

"Whoa, this racecourse is still small. Once things are ready at Lingyun Island, we'll go there."

"The Fourth Elder knew I liked riding, so he left a very large racecourse there." Gao Ying quite liked the feeling of galloping.

"I'll have to take a good look at Lingyun Island when the time comes." Xi Yan was also looking forward to it.

"You're the owner of Lingyun Island?" Heartless really didn't know about this.

"Yes, it was a birthday gift from the elders," Gao Ying said with a smile.

Heartless fell silent. The money he had probably wasn't even enough to help Ying'er celebrate a single birthday!

No, he had to make money. He had to build up the industries under his command; he couldn't just lie flat anymore.

"Heartless, what's wrong?" Gao Ying asked curiously, seeing his pensive expression.

"I'm thinking that the assets I have now are too few; I still can't lie flat," Heartless replied seriously.

"Send me your bank account number." Gao Ying thought he was short on money and planned to give him some pocket money.

Heartless thought she wanted to use his money and gave her all his cards.

*Ding-dong!*

"Ying'er, why did you transfer 50 billion into my account?" Seeing the bank notification for 50 billion, Heartless didn't even have to think to know who it was from.

"Aren't you short on money? Take this 50 billion as your pocket money. If it's not enough, just tell me." Gao Ying spoke very seriously.

Xi Yan looked at Heartless's somewhat speechless expression and laughed unkindly.

"Who told you to say you didn't have enough money in front of Ying'er? Don't you know the thing Ying'er lacks least is money?"

Heartless: "My point was that Ying'er's birthday gift was an entire island. The money I have probably isn't even enough for one of her birthday gifts."

"There's no need to spend so much. As long as it's from you guys, I'll like it." Only then did Gao Ying realize there had been a misunderstanding.

Heartless wanted to transfer the money back, but Gao Ying strongly refused.

"It's pocket money I gave you; how can I take it back? You can spend this money however you want, but you are not allowed to return it." Gao Ying felt like a domineering CEO right now, exceptionally cool.

"Ying'er, it's the people from the Bai and Huo families." Xi Yan saw Bai Jue and Huo Yunci and knew their purpose for coming here.

"Hello, Miss Gao. I am the heir of the Bai Family, Bai Jue."

"Hello, Miss Gao. I am the heir of the Huo Family, Huo Yunci."

As Gao Ying approached, the two stepped forward to introduce themselves.

"May I ask what brings you two here?" Gao Ying handed Wave Treader over to Xi Yan.

"Miss Gao, this is an invitation. The Bai Family is about to hold a charity auction, and we would like to invite you to grace us with your presence." Bai Jue presented the invitation with both hands.

Gao Ying took the invitation. "Alright, I'll be there."

The Bai Family truly did charity; every cent would reach those seeking help.

"Is the Huo Family also holding a banquet?" Gao Ying asked, looking at Huo Yunci.

"No, it's just that I heard Miss Gao had come to the Imperial Capital, so I, Yunci, wanted to come and see you." Huo Yunci's narrow phoenix eyes watched her.

"I wouldn't dare. That Miss Qiao keeps a very close eye on you. If she knew you came to see me for no reason..."

"...then I would be the one to suffer." Gao Ying teased him with her arms crossed.

Back in the Magic City, she had already learned quite a bit about the wealthy families of the Imperial Capital.

Although the Qiao Family wasn't as high-profile as the Liu Family, they weren't exactly low-profile either.

Especially the Qiao Family's second daughter, Qiao Enya; she had fallen in love with Huo Yunci at first sight.

To get Huo Yunci to marry her, she even used her family to pressure him.

However, the Huo Family wasn't a pushover either. It's unclear how the two sides negotiated, but in the end, the Qiao Family stated it was a matter between the children and wouldn't involve the families.

Yet, Qiao Enya would issue warnings to any girl who got close to Huo Yunci.

You could say she was bad, yet she even gave people compensation. It was truly hard to understand that Qiao girl.

"It's just a transaction. With her making a fuss, things are much quieter around me." Huo Yunci raised an eyebrow and smiled.
