You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 111

On the way back from her shopping, Bai Rong had been wondering about this issue. If she were the head of Tangqian Village, who would she have reported the discovered treasure to?

It was not easy for a mere village head to meet up with the city mayor. At the most, he could only report this to the township governing their village, and let the town mayor report to his higher ups.

Cheng Bin’s secretary should be aware of this case as well.

Coincidentally, based on the materials she found, the town mayor at that time was now the city mayor of Jinyang City. As for Cheng Bin’s secretary, he was currently the governor of Jinyang County.

Bai Rong also found out that those two had known each other for a long time. Before the governor became Cheng Bin’s secretary, he and the aforementioned town mayor were the town mayor and secretary general of another town respectively.

Her only guess was that the village head of Tangqian Village had reported this incident to the town mayor of their village, who then told the secretary and he passed it on to Cheng Bin.

If those three knew about this, all of them would be possible culprits of that genocide.

The girl was now checking the background of the city mayor of Jinyang City, Lu Liangcheng.

To climb the corporate ladder fast, she needed to achieve significant feats in her work.

Plus, these people were involved in a genocide just to keep the wealth all to themselves. Why should she allow such bastards to be freed from their well-deserved punishments?

She planned to make herself a name with these people’s sins.

Knock! Knock!

Bai Rong turned off the webpage and opened the door.

Xing Jinnian stood with an arrogant stance while smiling evilly. “Dinner’s ready. Don’t say that we’re being unkind.”

“I’m sorry, I’ve taken dinner outside. If there’s nothing else, don’t come and disturb me. I need to study.” Bai Rong replied coldly.

Her reply triggered Xing Jinnian as she stomped her feet angrily. “Bai Rong! Don’t try to be funny. I’m already giving you face this time.”

“My face is given by my parents, not by a mere loser like you.” Bai Rong closed and locked the door.

Out of anger, Xing Jinnian decided to forgo her elegance and kicked the door madly. She had intended to show Bai Rong how loving she and Su Xuyan were at the dinner table, yet she was not even coming out for dinner!

“Dad! What’s Bai Rong trying to do! I kindly invited her to join us for dinner but she just rejected me! You think she has any respect for you in this household?” Xing Jinnian complained to her father.

“Let her be. You don’t have to call her for dinner next time.” Xing Bachuan replied angrily.

Su Xuyan smiled instead. He glanced at Bai Rong’s room and spoke, “From my understanding of her, she may be difficult and hard to please, but she’s a kind girl. The only thing is that she tends to be very stubborn and radical in her behavior. She’ll regret her actions later on though, just like a child. Uncle, don’t need to be mad over such petty things.”

Xing Jinnian was embarrassed by her boyfriend’s assertion. “Xuyan, are you defending that woman?”

“I’m just stating the truth. After all, you’ll meet her on a daily basis. I don’t want you to be constantly mad over her. You’ll not look nice if you’re always so angry. I want you to stay pretty for me.” Su Xuyan coaxed flirtatiously.

Xing Bachuan took a gulp of drink. “Xuyan’s right. We cannot change anything about that. By the way, when are you two planning to get married?”

“Uncle, I’ve just divorced less than a month ago. If I were to get married so soon, I’m afraid that malicious rumors about Nian will arise.”

Xing Jinnian’s face went uglier with that statement as she muttered lowly, “I thought you said you never touched her before?”

“But the others out there don’t not know about this. Gossip is a fearful thing; I don’t want you to be hurt by it, Nian. Plus, I just resigned from my position and there are many eyes on me now. We can get married some time later. I’m free from my work now, so why not we go for a tour overseas?” Su Xuyan pulled Xing Jinnian into a hug.

Upon hearing about the overseas tour, the girl felt loads better and turned to her father. “Dad, it’s not easy for Xuyan to start up his business. Can you directly tender that piece of land he’s aiming for to him?”

Xing Bachuan nodded. “You still have to tender it through proper procedures, otherwise people will think I’m abusing my power.”

“If that’s the case, seems like being Governor Xing’s son-in-law doesn’t benefit me at all.” Su Xuyan joked in reply.

“Dad, Xuyan will become your son-in-law sooner or later, and I’m the one who’s going to marry him! Do you really want me to suffer with him?” Xing Jinnian pleaded cutely.

“You cannot avoid the proper procedures. But procedures are created by man, so there are bound to have some loopholes in it.” Xing Bachuan coaxed his daughter and turned to Su Xuyan. “I won’t join the auction, but I can tell you the lowest price the competing party is willing to offer. The party offering the most competitive price will win the bid.”

“Isn’t that still costly?” Xing Jinnian pouted in displeasure.
