Chapter 526 "Why call me 'brother'? Call me 'brother-in-law'!"
Why did you give me shares in the Nets?
After swatting away Wang Xiucheng's restless hand, Ma Xiaoxuan still asked the question.
This question had been on her mind for several days.
However, the occasion was never appropriate, so Ma Xiaoxuan never asked.
Now it's just the two of them in the room, and the doctor told her to talk to Wang Xiucheng more to distract him, so Ma Xiaoxuan asked.
The day after Wang Xiu was injured, Cai Congxin and Julia Koch arrived at the hospital with a lawyer and various documents.
Before Wang Xiucheng's surgery, the documents regarding the sale of a portion of the Nets' shares had already been signed.
Cai Congxin seemed to want to use this method to tell Wang Xiucheng and the world that he had full confidence in Wang Xiucheng.
Upon hearing Ma Xiaoxuan's question, Wang Xiucheng leaned against her.
"Because I like it," Wang Xiucheng said softly.
"Like?" Ma Xiaoxuan asked, puzzled. "Like what?"
"I like you," Wang Xiucheng replied again.
Ma Xiaoxuan was slightly taken aback. Was this a confession?
Moreover, can liking something really make you do that?
Tsai Tsung-hsin eventually sold 15% of the Nets' shares.
Julia Koch purchased 8% of the shares, and Wang Xiucheng purchased 7% of the shares.
However, due to the labor agreement, Wang Xiucheng can only hold 4% of the shares through a fund institution.
Another 3% of the shares are held on behalf of Ma Xiaoxuan.
Although it's said to be a nominee shareholding arrangement, legally speaking, these 3% of shares belong to Ma Xiaoxuan and have nothing to do with Wang Xiucheng.
Of course, the whole world knows about the relationship between Ma Xiaoxuan and Wang Xiucheng, and also knows that the 3% of shares belong to Wang Xiucheng.
“Aren’t you afraid I won’t return your 3% stake? That’s worth hundreds of millions!” Ma Xiaoxuan asked, looking into Wang Xiucheng’s eyes.
"If they don't want to pay it back, they don't have to," Wang Xiucheng said, seemingly indifferent.
Looking at Wang Xiucheng like this, Ma Xiaoxuan's eyes welled up with tears, perhaps because she was touched.
"What's wrong?" Wang Xiucheng was startled. In his memory, this was the first time Ma Xiaoxuan had acted like this.
“Sometimes, I feel like I’m pretty stupid,” Ma Xiaoxuan said softly, sitting next to Wang Xiucheng.
"I'm like your nanny, managing your business and endorsements, arranging all your schedules, even arranging your dates with so many female celebrities, communicating with various media outlets in China, and maintaining your positive image..."
"When Reba gives birth, I will find a hospital for her, hire a nanny for her, and buy formula and diapers for the baby."
“When your parents come, I will be responsible for picking them up and dropping them off, cooking for them, and taking them to various places in the United States.”
"Now that you're injured, you're confined to bed for everything, and I'm the one taking care of you..."
Wang Xiucheng was dumbfounded when he heard this.
Yes, Ma Xiaoxuan has done so much.
“But I’m just your agent, not your nanny.” Ma Xiaoxuan seemed to wipe the corner of her eye.
Wang Xiucheng suddenly reached out and hugged Ma Xiaoxuan again, "Who said you're just my manager?"
"Then who am I?" Ma Xiaoxuan asked, looking up.
“You are…” Wang Xiucheng tilted his head and looked at the door. “Go and lock the door first.”
"What are you going to do?" Ma Xiaoxuan seemed to sense something.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiucheng chuckled.
"Behave yourself, the doctor is right outside."
"My legs hurt..."
"...Wang Xiucheng, don't think you can just let me go just because you're injured... Let me go..."
……
[Task completed. Reward: 10000 system points and one lottery card. Draw a prize now?]
"lottery."
Looking at the lottery card given to him by Sister Xuan, which eventually turned into 5000 system points, Wang Xiucheng smiled.
Wang Xiu remained unperturbed after sustaining his injuries, a stark contrast to the general panic and dismay that seemed to have struck the entire nation.
Wang Xiucheng didn't know if, given his current physical condition, it would really take him three months to recover.
But waiting around isn't in Wang Xiucheng's nature.
Wang Xiucheng wasn't in a hurry because he had a way to recover quickly.
That was the skill card that Wang Xiucheng had seen among many skills when Jenna first gave him her "skill selection card".
[Super-fast self-healing].
Wang Xiucheng didn't pay much attention to this type of card at the time.
He believed he was in good health and didn't need such a card.
But this injury made Wang Xiucheng realize that he was ultimately human, not a god, and that he too could get hurt.
Therefore, Wang Xiucheng set his sights on this skill card this time.
However, to obtain this skill card, you first need to obtain a "skill selection card".
Since he doesn't have a "skill selection card" at the moment, Wang Xiucheng needs to "scatter leaves" first.
Naturally, Wang Xiucheng set his sights on Ma Xiaoxuan.
Firstly, Ma Xiaoxuan has always been by his side.
Secondly, Wang Xiucheng did indeed set his sights on this older sister as soon as he arrived in the United States.
Unlike the other sisters, Ma Xiaoxuan and Wang Xiucheng have known each other for a very long time and have lived together for an extended period of time.
Ma Wei is right, being together has become a habit for the two of them.
If Ma Xiaoxuan really leaves Wang Xiucheng one day, Wang Xiucheng will not be able to accept it.
Wang Xiucheng had always wanted his older sister to speak first, but she just wouldn't.
Wang Xiucheng wasn't in a hurry at first, but now that he's injured, he has no choice but to be anxious.
So Wang Xiucheng took the initiative.
Just then, Wang Xiucheng, who was sitting on the sofa, turned around and saw Ma Xiaoxuan blushing as she took out the washed bed sheets and hung them on the balcony.
Wang Xiucheng laughed again, "Sister, you're American, 26 years old, and you've never even had a boyfriend?"
"Who said I haven't? I've had many boyfriends," Ma Xiaoxuan said, dissatisfied.
“Then why are you still…” Wang Xiucheng pointed to the balcony.
"Mind your own business, you're annoying," Ma Xiaoxuan said with dissatisfaction.
Wang Xiucheng chuckled.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Ma Xiaoxuan was startled and immediately pulled the sheets back up and hid them under the bed.
Upon opening the door, Ma Wei brought Wang Xiucheng's father over.
Wang Xiucheng's mother did not come this time, obviously she was at home taking care of the child.
Ma Wei was still holding food in his hand, which should have been prepared by Wang Xiucheng's mother.
Wang Xiucheng didn't stand on ceremony and sat down to eat with Ma Xiaoxuan.
Seemingly eager to go back and see his child, Wang Xiucheng's father took the lunchbox and prepared to leave after finishing his meal.
Ma Wei didn't leave immediately. Instead, he stood up and whispered, "Brother, Jing Sailun said that Sister-in-law Jenny is coming to New York to see you."
Although Ma Xiaoxuan didn't look at Ma Wei, her expression changed.
"What are you calling me, brother?" Wang Xiucheng glared at Ma Wei. "Call me brother-in-law."
Ma Wei was taken aback and glanced at his older sister, who seemed a little different, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was different.
Finally, Ma Wei, still somewhat incredulous, tentatively called out, "Sister...brother-in-law?"
This time, neither Wang Xiucheng nor Ma Xiaoxuan rejected the title.
This almost made Mawei shout out with joy.
My older sister has finally figured it out!
My parents can finally retire!
Thinking of this, Ma Wei immediately looked at Wang Xiucheng, "Brother, no, brother-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely make sure that Sister-in-law Jenny... no, I will definitely make sure that Kim Jenny can't leave Los Angeles..."
