Inheritance of Two Trillion-Chapter 2294 - 1739: Jia Haoran Eats Humble Pie
Bai Xiaosheng was mistaken as "irrelevant people" by Jia Chengshan, Lu Tiandao, Zhang Qinglin and the others, and chased away from Dong Tianxiu’s side. Lin Weiwei found it both infuriating and amusing.
Those people really can’t see the forest for the trees.
Looking at Jia Chengshan and the others, it seems they want to talk to the people on their side, but not a single important figure will come from their side.
Because Bai Xiaosheng has other plans.
In other words, today here, of the people on their side, Bai Xiaosheng is the biggest figure.
As it turns out, Jia Chengshan and the others only saw Dong Tianxiu and only recognized Dong Tianxiu.
Blind to the true god!
Lin Weiwei scrutinized Bai Xiaosheng, only to see him dressed too casually, hands in his pockets, smiling and tilting his head to look around, too nonchalant in his demeanor. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Even though this place is having a celebration, with bright lights, it’s still different from daytime—it really isn’t easy to recognize without a close look...
Especially for those who’ve never met before.
"Xiaosheng, is it appropriate for us to leave Dong Tianxiu with them?" Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but glance back and talk to Bai Xiaosheng.
Bai Xiaosheng smiled cheerfully, "What’s inappropriate about it? Facing a group of big shots alone is such a great opportunity for practice."
Lin Weiwei was somewhat helpless as she looked at Bai Xiaosheng, "I say, Xiaosheng, can you be more serious? You are..."
Before Lin Weiwei could finish, she felt her sleeve being pulled, she stopped what she was about to say and looked in astonishment at Lei Ying next to her.
Lei Ying didn’t look at her, instead gazed straight ahead and nudged with his mouth.
Lin Weiwei looked over and her eyes narrowed slightly.
Jia Haoran and Cheng Xuanbei were walking over with smiles.
"Miss Weiwei, we meet again! It’s really fate!" Jia Haoran smiled, speaking in a magnetic and deep voice.
This man was handsome, dressed in tens of thousands worth of custom-made attire, and naturally exuded brilliance. Many young and beautiful female guests around were already glancing over.
Jia Haoran naturally noticed, considering those eyes on him as his backdrop, believing it would make the woman in front of him feel "honored" to greet him proactively.
Conveniently, Jia Haoran glanced at Bai Xiaosheng next to him.
Although in the daytime, they were quite far apart, and the features weren’t clear, it was enough to judge this man was the one making the woman joyful.
With that look, Jia Haoran instantly revealed a bit of hostility.
Jia Haoran looked at Bai Xiaosheng, and Bai Xiaosheng was assessing Jia Haoran too.
How to put it, Jia Haoran was ostentatious in his actions, narcissistic, his private life could fill pages of multiple gossip magazines, but such a person, according to Dong Tianxiu, manages two companies quite tidily, has some business talent, and is lauded by the media as a business prodigy.
Of course, relying on the Jia family’s foundation, with his father Jia Chengshan there, which partner would dare exploit him? They might even rush to help him earn money to foster good relations with the Jia family...
Bai Xiaosheng also wanted to see if Jia Haoran truly had any real skills.
Seeing Bai Xiaosheng actually scrutinizing him, Jia Haoran’s gaze turned unfriendly, taking Bai Xiaosheng’s stare as a provocation.
"Really arrogant, this guy dares to scrutinize Jia Haoran like this!" Cheng Xuanbei secretly marveled.
However, watching these two confront each other, seeing the potential for a spectacle, Cheng Xuanbei felt inexplicably excited.
He enjoyed this sort of thing, quite eccentric indeed...
"Mr. Jia, I’m seemingly not very familiar with you!"
Lin Weiwei’s face tightened, her voice slightly cold as she reminded Jia Haoran.
This kind of man, thinking he’s very handsome and imagining seducing naïve girls, seemed really shallow to Lin Weiwei.
Moreover, why such shallow men always approached her, sometimes Lin Weiwei would wonder if she had some special trait attracting superficial people...
"Miss Weiwei, don’t say that, I just want to get to know you. Maybe, knowing more, you’ll find that I, Jia Haoran, am truly a sincere person." Jia Haoran turned to Lin Weiwei and smiled.
Yet, he still gave Bai Xiaosheng a sideways glance intentionally or unintentionally.
Jia Haoran refused to believe he was inferior to this man next to him.
On the surface, he wasn’t taller nor handsomer, nor was his family background as good as his!
Of course, Jia Haoran’s self-assuredness was merely how he saw it...
"Not interested!" Lin Weiwei, unwilling to engage further, said bluntly.
Beside her, Bai Xiaosheng smiled at Jia Haoran.
"Mr. Jia, why not have a chat?"
Since Jia Chengshan and the others went to gather information from Dong Tianxiu, the "junior," he might as well chat with Jia Haoran, the "junior" of the Jia family.
Jia Haoran raised his eyebrow and looked at Bai Xiaosheng.
Bai Xiaosheng smiled, "I’ve heard that our Jia family has been quite active in the business world recently..."
Someone like Jia Haoran, who loves to show off, would not be low-key in front of a beauty, Bai Xiaosheng thought.
Unfortunately, he underestimated Jia Haoran’s hostility toward him.
Jia Haoran sized Bai Xiaosheng up and down, sneered, and arrogantly said, "Who are you to come here and inquire about our Jia family’s news? You might not be qualified for that!"
Jia Haoran already had disdain for Bai Xiaosheng, and his words were full of contempt. He wanted to humiliate this man in front of Lin Weiwei and show her that this person was not on the same level as him.
Jia Haoran’s expression and tone were filled with derision.
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying immediately frowned.
"Right, you think you can just talk to our Prince Jia and ask about our Jia Family’s business direction. I say, friend, you must be out of your mind!" Cheng Xuanbei seized the opportunity to sneer and humiliate.
"You all!" Lin Weiwei became angry upon seeing this.
But she was then stopped by Bai Xiaosheng’s outstretched hand.
"Since Mr. Jia doesn’t want to chat, I won’t insist." Bai Xiaosheng shrugged nonchalantly and said, gesturing, "Let’s go, Weiwei."
After saying that, Bai Xiaosheng put his hands in his pockets and leisurely walked away.
Lin Weiwei gave Jia Haoran and Cheng Xuanbei a glare and quickly followed him.
Jia Haoran was about to follow when his view was suddenly blocked by a big figure standing in front of him, looking fiercely at him, giving him a fright.
It was Lei Ying.
Cheng Xuanbei was also intimidated, not daring to move forward or chime in.
Lei Ying looked at them with a cold, expressionless face.
Just one look made Jia Haoran and Cheng Xuanbei feel chills down their spines, as if being watched by a wild beast.
Lei Ying turned and walked away coldly.
Once Lei Ying was far enough, Jia Haoran swallowed and said to Cheng Xuanbei, "Who is this brute?!"
"I don’t know, but he looks really fierce!" Cheng Xuanbei swallowed hard.
Jia Haoran watched as Lin Weiwei obediently followed behind Bai Xiaosheng, burning with jealousy, but still followed them.
Cheng Xuanbei trailed closely behind.
Because Lei Ying was around, the two dared not get too close.
The sight of a white violinist playing cheerful music while smiling and circling around Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Weiwei. That big guy went to a distant booth to get souvenirs. Only then did Jia Haoran lead Cheng Xuanbei closer.
"Jia, you’re good at the violin, aren’t you? You can show off in front of that woman! Women love talented and romantic men!" Cheng Xuanbei suggested.
"Good idea!" Jia Haoran’s eyes lit up.
It’s great to know many things. That woman might be aloof and not care about money, so let her see my musical skills!
Jia Haoran was rolling up his sleeves and ready to try when he saw Bai Xiaosheng actually take the violin from that violinist.
Soon, a piece of violin music of extremely high standards resonated, even making the violinist shout in surprise and give Bai Xiaosheng a double thumbs-up.
Guests all around couldn’t help but look, and some young female guests’ eyes shimmered with admiration.
Lin Weiwei even led the applause.
Jia Haoran was just about to step forward, but his feet froze, along with his expression.
Jia Haoran knew his own abilities and knew he couldn’t perform at that level with the violin!
Seeing Bai Xiaosheng steal the spotlight, he felt a lump of frustration stuck in his chest.
Cheng Xuanbei stared blankly at Bai Xiaosheng, still saying to Jia Haoran, "He copied my idea!"
Jia Haoran remained silently frustrated.
After the performance ended, Bai Xiaosheng returned the violin and left with Lin Weiwei amidst applause.
Lei Ying continued to walk further away.
Jia Haoran led Cheng Xuanbei, following Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Weiwei.
Cheng Xuanbei tried to comfort him, "Jia, you have many talents. Just show off one that surpasses his next time!"
Jia Haoran nodded sullenly.
Over there, Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Weiwei encountered a live magic show, where Bai Xiaosheng performed a trick that made the magician shout in amazement, exciting the crowd.
They then came across a singing female singer, and Bai Xiaosheng harmonized with her in a few high notes, winning the crowd over.
...
Following them for a while, Jia Haoran and Cheng Xuanbei only saw Bai Xiaosheng performing continuously.
Jia Haoran’s face turned dark as he clenched his fists, realizing that whatever he couldn’t do, Bai Xiaosheng could, and what he could do, Bai Xiaosheng did far better. How could he compete!
Cheng Xuanbei watched with frustration, witnessing Jia Haoran’s face filled with anger and despair, and attempted to comfort him, "Jia, don’t worry, surely there’s something he can’t do. Then... you can give it a try?"
"Try my ass!" Jia Haoran cursed angrily, "What’s my status, competing with him on such things? If I want to outshine him, do I need to follow him around?"
Jia Haoran, driven by anger, strode over to Bai Xiaosheng!
Cheng Xuanbei hurriedly looked for Lei Ying’s position and rushed to catch up.
"Impulsiveness is the devil, Jia!"
