Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 595 - 338 University of Finance ’bold’?

Jiang Xuan handled some business on his phone and finished a few minutes later.

As he lifted his eyelids, he met Xia Ye’s gaze, who was staring straight at him with a teacup in hand.

"Hmm?" Jiang Xuan really enjoyed her staring at him, no matter the reason.

Even if it were because he was wealthy, that would be fine—then he would earn even more money, to make sure she could never leave him.

Xia Ye touched her chin, her gaze shifting slightly away as she slowly spoke, "I was thinking about something."

"What is it?" Jiang Xuan put away his phone, looking at her with interest.

"Yesterday, my elder brother took me to dine at Godear; their business seemed to be booming," Xia Ye tentatively asked, "I heard Godear has over 500 franchises worldwide. How much do you think their annual profit could be?"

Jiang Xuan chuckled softly, "Why the sudden interest in the restaurant industry?"

Xia Ye replied seriously, "I’m interested in anything that makes money."

"Hmm..." Jiang Xuan sighed softly, settled into a nearby seating area, and then pulled Xia Ye’s hand, drawing her closer to himself, "As of last year, there were a total of 579 franchises. However, the profit might not be as much as you think, because Godear has high quality standards for their ingredients, and the costs are not low. All their franchises combined made a net profit of just over 50 last year."

"Over 50?" Xia Ye asked.

Jiang Xuan, looking up with his handsome face, clarified, "That means over 5 billion."

Xia Ye:...

So that’s considered not high profits?

Ruthless businessman.

She liked it!

Xia Ye narrowed her eyes slightly, "How do you know this so clearly?"

After asking, she began observing Jiang Xuan’s expression, ready to spot a lie the moment he uttered it.

But as it turned out, her concerns were completely unnecessary, for the next second, Jiang Xuan tugged on her hand and pulled her to sit on his lap, his arms encircling her. He gave her a reply without any concealment, "Because I am the owner of Godear."

Xia Ye stiffened in her movements. He was really the boss??

She couldn’t quite describe her feelings, but it felt somewhat like a loss.

Both were into making money, but this old man’s business seemed bigger than hers.

Xia Ye twisted her delicate eyebrows slightly, "We’ve eaten there so many times; why didn’t you tell me?"

Jiang Xuan matter-of-factly responded, "You never asked me."

Xia Ye retorted, "If I asked you, would you have told me?"

Jiang Xuan raised an eyebrow, "Didn’t I just tell you when you asked?"

Xia Ye: "..."

She found herself at a loss for words.

The little fox, though annoyed, suddenly rested her head in the ’old man’s’ shoulder nook.

Jiang Xuan’s heart softened, feeling how good she was, indulgingly caressing the top of her head.

Earning more money was evidently still useful.

He had promised not to pry into the little fox’s heart casually, and he had always kept his word, so right now he did not know what exactly the little fox was thinking.

Xia Ye cozily leaned into his embrace, her mind already racing with calculations.

If those over 500 franchises really were his, then they could get married sooner.

As long as she could endure until he passed away naturally, those over 500 franchises would ultimately belong to her ancestor, wouldn’t they?

Although Heavenly Dao was the true royal figure, it was supposed to be difficult to outlive him in the human world, but Xia Ye had medicine... (not really)

"Ah! Sitting on his lap is totally cheating!"

"The awe-inspiring Night Goddess looks so good in Boss Jiang’s arms!"

"The Night Goddess must love him a lot!" (his money)

"I really want to take a photo and send it to the girls in our group!"

"No, no! Sneak photos are the least classy! I can’t do such a thing!"

Concealed behind curtains, Hong Sijin was almost bursting with excitement. She wished she could snuggle up and cuddle closer to the Night Goddess, joining them in their group cuddle.

While daydreaming, Huang Sijin came back from her master’s with the glasses, "Stop daydreaming. The glasses are ready. Hurry and take them over to your idol to see if they fit."

Regaining her senses, Hong Sijin thanked her and quickly ran with the glasses, then turned back halfway, as Huang Sijin was about to ask why. Instead, she watched as Hong Sijin took a large pile of gifts from behind the counter.

Their eyeglass shop was of high-end variety, and the freebies were exquisite and pricey—Hong Sijin had really splurged for her idol.

A delicately crafted eyeglass case snapped open with a ’click,’ revealing a pair of new, technologically advanced glasses made of a very light and thin material, lying inside with a minimalist silver frame.

The design was simple, perhaps unremarkably so, but often the simplest things were the most enduring to look at, as was the case with Xia Ye’s glasses.

Jiang Xuan had chosen them, and now he was personally putting them on her.

The man checked the craftsmanship, then bent down carefully to tuck her hair behind her ears for her, aligning the glasses on her beautifully curved nose.

He handled her as delicately as one would a porcelain doll.
