Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 403 More Suitable to be a Villain_1

"You say." Ge Tiancheng answered without hesitation, "As long as it’s within my power, I’ll even knock my head on the ground to get it done for you!"

"Not for me." Xiao Ming said with a smile, "Since the four families are going to be finished, it’s a done deal that the Jiuzhou Ancient Appraisal Association’s reputation is damaged.

But the appraisal industry must not fall into chaos, or else the antique trade will be in great disorder, and once the current collecting craze fades away, who knows how many will lose their livelihoods.

Therefore, the Ancient Appraisal Association must exist and must be led by a figure who stands out in both morality and reputation.

And for that flagbearer, I believe there’s no one more suitable than you, Mr. Ge."

Ge Tiancheng was stunned, his mind a blank, completely unsure how to respond.

"Of course, you have a family to take care of and your health to consider, so we have to resolve the issue of livelihood first."

As he spoke, Xiao Ming waved An Kefang over. When the young lady came over, he said to Ge Tiancheng, "Her name is An Kefang, the daughter of the An Family, and the cleanest, kindest child among the four families.

She majored in jewelry design in university, and you, Mr. Ge, are a renowned jade carving master. So, I plan to establish a gemstone and jewelry company, hiring you two to manage everything. Aside from shares and bonuses, the annual salary would be one million.

What do you think? Can you do it?"

This time, not only Ge Tiancheng but also An Kefang were dumbfounded.

"No rush, you can take your time to think about it. Whether it’s a go or not is up to you.

I’ll be staying at the Qingyang Grand Hotel these next few days. My personal phone number’s on the top. Whatever the outcome, drop me a line."

He slipped a business card into Ge Tiancheng’s hand, stood up, and said, "The police will be here soon, and you’ll be in quite a bit of trouble if you stay. Giving statements and such could easily scare the kids, so let me have someone take you home first.

Qingfeng."

"Here."

Qingfeng zipped over in a flash, scooped up Ge Tiancheng, and carried him away without a word.

Seeing this, Ge Tiancheng’s wife hurriedly carried their younger son and took their elder son, Ge Qingshan, by the hand to follow.

Just before they left, she turned specially to bow to Xiao Ming, her expression still blank, but her eyes conveyed unmistakable gratitude.

Some say that fools have pure hearts and can distinguish between the good and the bad.

Now, Xiao Ming believed it.

Scratching his head, he said to An Kefang, "Although I feel quite comfortable right now, there’s still something off. It seems I’m indeed more suited to playing the bad guy."

An Kefang tugged at his sleeve, "Whether you’re the good guy or the bad guy, we can talk about that later. Right now, be my answer machine. I have a bellyful of questions that I need to ask, or I’ll burst!"

Xiao Ming laughed, voicelessly, "Then hold off on bursting for a bit longer, let me savor being a bad egg for a little while longer."

With that, he turned to face the four elders, sweeping his gaze over them, "Strange, there are only Xiao Anzi and me left in the room, why don’t you guys take the chance to run off, huh?"

Hao Taixing immediately glared, "A man can be killed, but not insulted! Xiao..."

"I’ll insult you all right, what’re gonna do about it?" Xiao Ming slapped his hand across the man’s head, "An old geezer who can’t even pee straight, you have the nerve to speak of ’honor’?"

Over eighty years old, Hao Taixing was not heavily struck by the slap but still nearly lost his balance, swaying several times before managing to stabilize himself.

His eyes reddened with rage. Just as he was about to speak up, he saw Xiao Ming pointing at the other three, asking, "Do you realize you’ve been duped by these three?"

Hao Taixing’s anger quickly redirected as he snorted coldly and turned his back, saying nothing further.

Xiao Ming simply shrugged indifferently, bypassed Wu Mengsong, and stood in front of An Xianhe.

"Old man, still in the mood to stab me now?"

"Brother Xiao!"

An Kefang came over and grabbed his hand, looking at her grandfather with complex eyes, pleading, "Let the police handle whatever’s happened, okay?"

Xiao Ming sighed, pulled out a folded document from his pocket, unfurled it, and showed it to An Xianhe.

"With Xiao Anzi asking for mercy on your behalf, I won’t pick on you. Just sign it already."

An Xianhe squinted and scrutinized it, only to realize it was a share transfer agreement. He laughed in anger, "Xiao Ming, after what you have done to us, you still want to take over my shares?

Absurd! Keep dreaming!"

Xiao Ming, expressionlessly, said to An Kefang, "This is his doing."

An Kefang held his hand even more tightly, pouting, "If you’re trying to seize my family’s assets for nothing, grandpa won’t agree, and neither will I."

"Who said I’m taking them for nothing?"

Xiao Ming slapped the pen into the girl’s hand and pointed at the second party on the agreement, "Write down the name of An’s precious daughter there, and the shares of that old geezer... cough, the old man, will be yours.

Only if the An family assets fall into your hands can those innocent clan members avoid being left destitute.

An Xianhe looks down on people, so be it, but you think like that too? Isn’t that unfair to this shirt I’m wearing that got ruined because of you?"

Only then did An Kefang realize he had been doing it for her, her embarrassment making her stick out her tongue, "Well, you were the one who said you wanted to indulge in being a bad egg, how was I supposed to know this is what you meant by ’bad’!"

Xiao Ming rolled his eyes hard, "After spending two mornings with me, you still don’t get how I operate. I really wonder if your head’s filled with paste, not even fit for pasting up new year couplets."
