He smiled sheepishly at Qin Tianyi, changing the subject with feigned ease. "Tianyi, did the bride get angry after you teased her so much at the wedding yesterday? Did you really consummate your marriage last night?"
The thought of that woman ignited a fire within Qin Tianyi.
He was astonished by his own loss of control last night, by the wild, unspeakable things he had done. He roared with unprovoked anger, "Does this have anything to do with you? Get lost and leave me alone."
Seeing him even more terrifying than before, Xiao Anjing wished he could slip out quickly. Hadn't he always said he didn't care who he married? But his reaction to mentioning yesterday's bride was too intense.
As Xiao Anjing fled, he had just pulled open the office door when Qin Tianyi called him back. "Wait, have you found any information on this Su Su? Especially her overseas resume and whereabouts. The more detailed, the better."
"I'm still looking," Xiao Anjing turned and asked, "Did you find anything suspicious about her last night? That Miss Ai is quite a looker. The old lady initially favored Ai Yiwei, but the Ai family was reluctant to part with her, saying they had another daughter abroad. The old lady would definitely approve of her for you, and she's prettier than that Ai Yiwei..."
"Why so much nonsense? Hurry up and get out." Qin Tianyi's expression had turned extremely grim. He wasn't actually angry at Xiao Anjing's chatter, but at himself. He had always possessed immense self-control, so why did he lose it completely when facing that woman?
Xiao Anjing quickly escaped the oppressive atmosphere of the office and breathed a sigh of relief outside. As he sat down in the lounge area, an employee greeted him, "Good morning, President Xiao."
"Good morning," Xiao Anjing replied with a friendly smile.
Although he was the Boss of Aoxiang Group on the surface, all the senior employees knew there was a mysterious major shareholder behind the scenes, the true owner of the group.
Despite Xiao Anjing's approachable and amiable demeanor, he never revealed a single word about the identity of the mysterious major shareholder.
He and Qin Tianyi were distant relatives, their ancestors belonging to the same clan. In the past, benefiting from the Xiao family's prosperity, he had the opportunity to study abroad.
However, after only a year of university abroad, the Xiao family went bankrupt.
Without financial support, unable to pay the exorbitant tuition fees of foreign universities, he had to work illegally, drifting and fending for himself abroad.
Someone invited him to a sanatorium in England, where he met Qin Tianyi, who was only thirteen or fourteen at the time.
He clearly remembered the first time he saw the young Qin Tianyi. The handsome face already bore the composure and depth of an adult.
The young Qin Tianyi went straight to the point. "The Xiao Group has completely fallen into the hands of the Qin family. The car accident my mother was in was not an accident; someone caused her death. I want revenge, and I need your help." His voice was cold and numb, sending a chill through Xiao Anjing. But Qin Tianyi was, after all, just a young boy. He laughed dismissively, "Why should I help you? Your surname is Qin, not Xiao."
"Don't you want to complete your interrupted studies? Do you want to keep working illegally, get caught by immigration, and be deported as a good-for-nothing?" Qin Tianyi asked him calmly.
Xiao Anjing shrugged indifferently, "As long as I can earn money, I don't see anything wrong with it."
"What about your mother back in China? She believes you are still diligently studying. If nothing matters, why did you forge those photos and videos of yourself on campus and in class?"
Xiao Anjing's fingers clenched tightly. Seeing the coldness in his eyes, it seemed he had no choice but to agree. Then he thought that agreeing wouldn't hurt him.
"Alright, I'll help you."
Qin Tianyi glanced at him with an inscrutable look. "Do you have any other choice?"
And so, he became Qin Tianyi's assistant, taking orders from Qin Tianyi, who was several years younger than him.
Later, he learned that after Xiao Yongmei's death, Qin Tianyi had secretly inherited a hidden fortune from the Xiao family. This was the legacy Xiao Yongmei had meticulously prepared for her son, keeping it from everyone.
With this inheritance, and with him acting as the front man, Qin Tianyi remained in the shadows, and they founded Aoxiang Group.
The group, which started as an ordinary foreign trade company, developed into a multinational corporation spanning various fields within a few short years, creating a miracle in Lan Cheng's business world.
The outside world said that the fallen Xiao family would rise again in his hands. And he, under the guise of Qin Tianyi's cousin, claiming to be taking care of Tianyi on behalf of his deceased aunt, frequently visited the Qin family without arousing any suspicion.
As he was reminiscing about their journey, a message from Qin Tianyi arrived on his phone: "Come to the office, take me home."
What a demanding boss. He had just told him to get out, and now he was calling him to the office. He was too bossy!
Never mind, he was the benefactor. Xiao Anjing immediately got up, checked the time, and realized it was time to take him back to the Qin family.
