Lily Bai’s Weak Point 2

Mainly, I'm worried Evan Lan won't agree.

Xavier Xiao understood what she meant and nodded with a hint of sadness.

Hey, Lily, has Shaun Fane honored the bet yet? Did you get the five billion?

Lily Bai smiled: "Not yet. But Macport Grand Casinos called me and said Shaun Fane has agreed to pay up. He’ll transfer the five billion to me tomorrow."

Eric Lan grinned: "If I have to admire anyone, it’s you! You made so much money so easily!"

Lily Bai smiled: "Actually, I didn’t earn the money myself."

Then who did?

"Evan Lan taught me everything," Lily Bai said.

Ha! I knew it—ruthless tricks like that are totally his style!" Eric Lan said.

And you and Samson too!" Lily Bai said. "You guys deserve a ton of credit!

So does everyone get a share?" Eric Lan asked.

Yep!" Lily Bai said. "This time, instead of paying you guys regular appearance fees, I’ll give you and Samson Zhang, plus River Li, shares in White Entertainment. Sound good?

Eric Lan immediately puffed up with pride: "Grandpa, did you see that? I’m not only a hot celebrity now, I’m a shareholder in White Entertainment! I’m somebody now, so don’t just beat me or make me kneel all the time!"

General Lan shot him a sideways glance, but his eyes were full of laughter.

He’d always worried Eric would go astray.

He’d always worried Eric wouldn’t amount to anything.

Now, at last, he could rest easy.

...

The next day, Shaun Fane transferred all of Fane Entertainment to Lily Bai.

But now, Fane Entertainment’s market value was less than four billion.

Surprisingly, he didn’t try to renege. He told Lily Bai that for the rest, he’d use his family’s calligraphy, paintings, and antiques to make up the difference.

He also said he’d personally bring a notary and deliver everything to Dragon Mountain Hills the next day.

The next day, they really showed up.

Several large trucks arrived, and a group of people carried in more than twenty boxes, big and small.

The official certification staff followed behind.

Among the things he brought were priceless jewels and ancient artifacts, each worth a fortune.

He probably emptied out everything his parents had stashed away.

If his father, Kenneth Fane, heard about it from prison, he might just cough up three liters of blood and die.

All together, it was just about enough to cover the rest of the debt.

Is this enough?" Shaun Fane asked, expressionless.

Lily Bai raised her brows at him: "Honestly, I didn’t expect you to be a man of your word, President Fane."

A gambler has to accept defeat," Shaun Fane said. "If there’s no problem, let’s sign."

Lily Bai picked up the pen and signed.

He signed too.

Then he turned and left, quick and decisive.

Only after they’d left Dragon Mountain Hills did Lily Bai truly believe he’d handed everything over.

Lily Bai opened the boxes one by one and carefully looked over the goods.

There was a full set of deep-green, palace-style gemstone jewelry from ancient times.

Exquisite goldwork from some unknown dynasty, inlaid with jewels, perfectly preserved and breathtakingly beautiful.

There was also the finest porcelain.

Millennia-old bronzes.

Paintings valuable enough for the National Heritage Museum’s permanent collection, and more.

“This fish painting is incredible,” Lily Bai said as she unrolled a scroll. “It’s so vivid—almost real! But whose name is on the signature? What do these characters say?”

“It’s a painting by Qi Shiyang,” Uncle Ernie said. “He’s famous for painting fish that look lively and real.”
