Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2240: Chapter 1700: Just a Phone Call

The mess-up with the top-tier jewelry led to it being put up for sale in the store; the biggest blunder was made by this Mr. Mai.

And that piece of jewelry is of great importance; it’s what the international superstar of the film industry, Wei Moran, was supposed to wear tonight!

The Ganande Wei Family, they are at the top in America and are renowned worldwide!

That’s why Mr. Mai was in such a hurry to recover it, and in his urgency, he even said unpleasant things to Bai Xiaosheng in public.

However, he didn’t expect Bai Xiaosheng to be so tough. Helpless, he could only lead Bai Xiaosheng to a secluded place to explain how serious the situation was!

Whether it’s the Wei Family or Wei Moran herself, they are not entities that small figures like them can contend with.

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng hear the name, he became stunned, his eyes full of surprise, and his face seemed to exhibit an incredulous expression.

Mr. Mai smiled.

It seems that this Huaxia person understands what kind of supreme existence that is.

So obediently return that necklace!

Mr. Mai’s gaze landed on the jewelry box on the coffee table, reaching out to reclaim it.

As a result, a hand stretched out from the opposite side, and with a flick of his finger lightly tapped the back of Mr. Mai’s hand. Though it looked effortless, Mr. Mai felt as if he’d been electrocuted, pulling his hand back with a cry, and a patch on the back of his hand turned as red as a fingernail, burning in pain.

”You!” Mr. Mai exclaimed in a mix of shock and anger, looking at Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng looked at him calmly and said slowly, ”I said, this item now belongs to me. Without my permission, you can’t touch it.”

Bai Xiaosheng hadn’t expected that the invincible figure Mr. Mai mentioned turned out to be Wei Moran, Wei Xuelian’s cousin, and also his friend.

Mr. Mai, having been flicked by Bai Xiaosheng, looked angry and sneered, ”Did this gentleman not understand what I just said? This item belongs to Wei Moran! A direct member of the Ganande Wei Family, the international superstar of the film industry! If you dare to take her belongings, don’t say that you can’t afford to offend the Wei Family. Even if her fans found out, you’d have a hard time too!”

Bai Xiaosheng listened with an expressionless face, then took out his phone and dialed a number.

”Don’t bother, no matter who you call, it won’t help. No one dares offend Miss Wei Moran...” Mr. Mai sneered.

After a few rings, Bai Xiaosheng’s call connected.

”Hello, Moran, where are you?” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.

The word ”Moran” immediately left Mr. Mai stunned.

He blinked, feeling as if he’d just experienced an auditory hallucination, hearing an impossible name.

”Oh, waiting at the airport, huh.” Bai Xiaosheng laughed, ”Just confirming, you’re treating me to lunch tomorrow, right? I’ll be there. But right now, I have a bit of a problem... because of you.”

Mr. Mai’s eyes widened like an ox’s, watching Bai Xiaosheng make the call.

Bai Xiaosheng glanced at Mr. Mai and laughed, ”While shopping, I accidentally wandered into Tia’s store and bought a piece of jewelry, and then a deputy manager told me I couldn’t take it because you’re going to use it tonight. He tried to force me to return it, saying you’d be unhappy otherwise. Yeah, yeah, I was planning to give this piece of jewelry to Xuelian. Haha, how is that favoritism? I didn’t know you were going to use it...”

A couple of days ago, Wei Moran had just talked to Bai Xiaosheng about treating him to lunch tomorrow, as their dinner with Xiya was the next night, so it didn’t conflict, so Bai Xiaosheng hadn’t paid much attention.

Mr. Mai looked at Bai Xiaosheng in disbelief, feeling a sudden sense of fear.

Was this man really speaking to Wei Moran?

He forgot to ask, what is this Huaxia person’s surname?

Could it be... Wei?

Mr. Mai’s hand couldn’t help but tremble.

”Do you want to talk to him? Okay.” Bai Xiaosheng directly handed his phone to Mr. Mai, indicating for him to take it.

Mr. Mai’s face turned pale as he took the phone with both hands.

The woman’s voice on the phone was unmistakable to Mr. Mai; it was Wei Moran. Her voice was mellifluous and unparalleled, unforgettable even after just one hearing.

However, at this moment, her mellifluous tone carried a hint of coldness, ”Who are you?”

”I’m Mai Madi, Miss Wei Moran!” Mr. Mai’s voice was so tense it changed pitch.

”Now, the person sitting across from you is my friend and also a friend of the Wei Family! You must not mistreat him, or I will be very displeased!” Wei Moran’s words were unusually firm over the phone, ”I’m only accepting your invitation because your founder asked, giving you face. If you do anything to upset me, don’t blame me for not giving face!”

Bai Xiaosheng watched as Mr. Mai’s face turned from pale to ashen white, and he couldn’t help but think to himself, the film industry really is a complicated place. Even pure girls like Wei Moran can scare people...

A minute later, with his forehead covered in sweat, Mr. Mai respectfully handed the phone back to Bai Xiaosheng, his forced smile looking more like a grimace and his gaze towards Bai Xiaosheng was filled with reverence and fear.

”Hello, Moran, it’s me. You’re waiting at the airport, right? I have some things to sort out here too. Okay, see you tomorrow.” Bai Xiaosheng casually smiled and spoke with Wei Moran.

Mr. Mai, standing beside, looked at Bai Xiaosheng with unease.

Oh my god, who did I just try to intimidate!

Mr. Mai couldn’t help but swallow.

This young man from Huaxia, from what it seems, is not a member of the Wei Family. So what kind of influential figure could he be to address Wei Moran as a friend and treat each other as equals? Could his background be even deeper...

Mr. Mai was rather terrified and anxious.

After hanging up, Bai Xiaosheng smiled at the chubby white man before him and shrugged, ”See, Miss Wei Moran agreed. Can I take this piece of jewelry away?”

”Of course, absolutely!” Mr. Mai clapped and laughed, his eyes nearly disappearing with his smile.

Bai Xiaosheng also laughed, ”If there’s nothing else, may I leave now?”

”I’ll escort you, I’ll escort you!” Mr. Mai leaped up, nodding and bowing.

In the lobby, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying had chosen several pieces of jewelry but hadn’t paid yet, as the store manager was supposed to offer them a discount, but he wasn’t present.

At this moment, the store manager didn’t dare make decisions on his own, so he was waiting there for Bai Xiaosheng and Mr. Mai to come out to ask them.

Jack and Hannah were gathered nearby.

Jack sneered, ”It’s already been twenty minutes; I’m sure they’ll come out soon. But when they do, you’ll probably be disappointed!”

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying completely ignored him, and the store manager couldn’t intervene.

Suddenly, Lin Weiwei’s eyes brightened.

Far away, Bai Xiaosheng walked out, followed by Mr. Mai.

Bai Xiaosheng’s hands were empty, and Mr. Mai was holding the jewelry box that belonged to Bai Xiaosheng.

”See, I told you he wouldn’t be able to take that jewelry!” Jack, seeing the scene, was elated and said to Hannah with a smile.

Hannah couldn’t help but smirk and nod.

Opposite them, Bai Xiaosheng and Mr. Mai approached quickly.

The store manager, who was standing with Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, quickly approached and looked at Mr. Mai with admiration for reclaiming the jewelry.

”Mr. Mai, the lady and gentleman mentioned that you would give them the highest discount on the jewelry they selected. Is that true?” the store manager asked under everyone’s gaze.

”Nonsense!” Mr. Mai said decisively.

The store manager was so frightened that he shut up.

Over there, Jack and Hannah, hearing this, looked at Bai Xiaosheng, Lin Weiwei, and Lei Ying and sneered.

”All the jewelry selected by those two is free of charge, and I will explain to the higher-ups later!”

Mr. Mai’s next sentence left the store manager dumbfounded.

Free of charge?

Many prominent figures had visited this store, yet none had received such treatment!

Jack and Hannah, still smiling, were stunned, blinking as if they’d just heard wrongly.

Then they saw Bai Xiaosheng smiling as he took the jewelry box from Mr. Mai, ”This isn’t right; we should still pay for what we owe.”

”No way, absolutely not!” Mr. Mai exclaimed, ”If you pay, it would be like slapping me in the face, and I can’t allow that!”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said to the store manager, ”Go ahead and charge us the discounted price. Otherwise, we won’t take the items!”

The store manager couldn’t help but look at Mr. Mai.

Mr. Mai looked troubled and sighed heavily, ”Well, in that case, we humbly accept.”

Jack and Hannah were dumbfounded.

How could collecting money for sold items sound like such a bargain...

Bai Xiaosheng and his party paid and left, never once looking at Jack or Hannah.

Mr. Mai diligently escorted them all the way out, completely ignoring those two ”extras.”

Jack and Hannah left the store with sullen expressions, only seeing Bai Xiaosheng’s group from afar.

”What kind of background do they have to be this formidable?” Hannah’s eyes gleamed, and she couldn’t help but murmur.

Jack spat in defiance, ”If they appear in front of me again, I will definitely regain my dignity!”
