"Oh?" Shen Peixing's eyes suddenly turned cold. He glanced at Xia Mingjian and saw that his hands were shaking nervously. He had already guessed out seventy to eighty percent. He looked at Xia Xinnuan again and saw that she was very calm.

"She is First Miss Xia? Then you are?" Shen Peixing stared at her with his eagle-like eyes, as if he wanted to see through her.

Xia Xinnuan wrapped around Shen Peixing's arm like a fairy. Her tone was also extremely intimate. She said, "My dear, this is my sister, Xia Kexin. She is my father's illegitimate daughter. My dad just brought her back. She has some problems here."

She said, pointing to her head.

Xia Xinnuan was not blind. Just now, Xia Kexin looked at Shen Peixing with eyes full of greed. She remembered that at that time, she was unwilling to marry him. All kinds of lies were made to let the original owner get married for her.

Now that she saw that this man was rich and handsome, so she regretted it?

How could there be such a reward in this world!

Moreover, Shen Peixing was the financial backer that she, Wen Nuan, had set her mind on, so how could she give him to others so easily?

Xia Kexin didn't expect Xia Xinnuan to lie so shamelessly. Was this country bumpkin Xia Xinnuan the one she knew before?

She widened her eyes in disbelief and retorted, "Who is your..."

However, just as her words left her mouth, Xia Mingjian was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat. He quickly pulled her and interrupted her.

He gave Xia Kexin a warning look and scolded, "Nonsense! What are you doing in front of Third Master? Hurry up and go upstairs!"

Xia Mingjian silently wiped away his cold sweat and turned to Shen Peixing with a fawning smile, "It was all a debt I committed when I was young. Third Master, don't mind it."

The implication was to agree with what Xia Xinnuan said.

Back then, when he asked Xia Xinnuan to get married, he had never thought that she would actually still be alive. Now, she seemed to have won the favor of Third Master. If Third Master knew that he had actually switched those two girls, let alone this contract, the Xia Corporation would probably disappear from Chongming City forever.

"Your little sister?" Shen Peixing glanced at Xia Xinnuan, and he was so clear about the answer. Today, he was overwhelmed by the big scenes that came one after another, and it was more exciting than a movie.

However, there was a look of surprise on his face. He looked at Xia Kexin, who was frozen in place, feeling wronged and unwilling to leave. He said frankly, "She looks more like your big sister. She is much older than you."

Xia Xinnuan curved her lips and almost laughed out loud.

The smile on Xia Kexin's face cracked, and she almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Wasn't she only two years older than Xia Xinnuan? She maintained herself so well. Xia Xinnuan was a village girl from the countryside. Why did she look older than Xia Xinnuan?

Xia Mingjian smiled and gestured for Xia Kexin to leave.

Xia Kexin bit her lips, stamped her feet, and reluctantly went upstairs.

"Third Master, now..." Xia Mingjian coughed twice and finally had the chance to change the topic to business. He looked at Shen Peixing expectantly and asked, "Can we talk about the contract now?"

This was the agreement they had made beforehand, and Shen Peixing had never thought of going back on his word.

However, the things that happened today made him want to make things difficult for Xia Mingjian, so he smiled unhurriedly and said, "I can give this project to you. However, I want to increase the profit by 30 percent more than before."

Xia Mingjian froze.

But even so, as long as he signed this contract, he could get a chance to bring the company back to life.

Moreover, he had now become Shen Peixing's father-in-law. Xia Xinnuan had unexpectedly helped him a great deal since she wasn't dead. With such an identity, would he be afraid that there would be no other company to cooperate with in the future?

As long as he had Shen Peixing to protect him, he would be able to do whatever he wanted in Chongming City. At that time, how would he care about the thirty percent of profit?

With this thought in mind, Xia Mingjian immediately agreed and quickly took out the contract that had already been prepared. After adding this condition, he gave the contract to Shen Peixing to sign.

When Shen Peixing was looking at the contract, Xia Mingjian did not forget another thing.

"Xinnuan, I have something to tell you. Come out for a moment." Xia Mingjian said as he stood up and walked towards the balcony.

Xia Xinnuan looked at him suspiciously, feeling that this uncle was up to no good.

However, she still followed him. She wanted to see what he wanted to say.

As soon as the balcony door was closed, Xia Mingjian rubbed his hands and smiled at Wen Nuan with a smile that he thought was very loving, "Xinnuan, when you were in the countryside, did your parents leave anything special for you?"

Wen Nuan sneered in mind, but she pretended to be at a loss. She shook her head and said, "No, I didn't hear my parents say that."

Xia Mingjian looked disappointed, but he still did not give up, "Think about it carefully. Is there really nothing?"

That was impossible. He had searched that thing for more than ten years but still could not find it. Other than Xia Xinnuan, who else could have it?

Xia Xinnuan really wanted to roll her eyes. Although she didn't know what he was talking about, did he take her for a fool? Even if he did, he had harmed her so much. Would she still foolishly tell him?

However, since he was looking forward to it so much, she did not mind giving him some useless thoughts.

Therefore, she pretended to think about it and said, "It seems that they did leave something for me, but I was too young at that time. I really can't remember clearly. Give me some time and let me think slowly."

When Xia Mingjian heard this, he thought that it was indeed the case.

Only then did he relax. He patted her shoulder and said, "Good child, take your time to think about it. You also know that the current situation at home is really not very good. If Xia Corporation really goes bankrupt, you will have no family to rely on in the future. I treat you as my own daughter. Don't let me down."

He looked like he was thinking about her future. If Wen Nuan didn't know that this person was vile inside out, she would really be moved.

"Yes, I understand, Uncle." She put on an obedient look and said.

"Alright, let's go in. Otherwise, Third Master will be suspicious." Xia Mingjian thought for a moment and then said worriedly, "Don't let anyone know about the replacement."

"Of course." Xia Xinnuan replied obediently.

But she quickly measured in mind.

She had nothing now. If that man, Shen Peixing, were to kick her out one day, wouldn't she be in a miserable state?

So, since Xia Mingjian wanted to sell his fake daughter for glory, how could she let him take all the wealth he earned by selling her?

"Heh, just wait and see. The show is yet to come."
