Zhang Biqi stared at Jiang Yue, unable to answer her question. She initially thought that Jiang Yue would decline and just laugh it off or pretend that she did not hear Zhang Biqi's words. She thought that this would be a very good way to show Fu Jin that he is with a cowardly woman.
Who would have thought that she would not only agree but would even make a very weird proposal?
"What do you think? That would be exciting right?" Jiang Yue's words woke her up from her thoughts.
She looked at everyone who was waiting for her answer, and then at Fu Jin. "Sure! Why not!"
In her mind, Jiang Yue was not really that outstanding. She thought that Jiang Yue would surely back down at the last minute. After all, this was very dangerous.
"What are you guys doing?" Wang Huo asked. He had just arrived with his son and was curious about Jiang Yue's antics this time. It was very unusual for her to do this.
"Oh, she wanted me to hold the apple while she shoots it." Jiang Yue winked before grabbing an apple and walking towards the front of the target,leaving Wang Huo and Wang Minghua speechless.
"Eh, Little Yue, what are you doing?" Wang Huo ran after Jiang Yue and stopped her in her tracks.
"Playing. Relax uncle, she won't hurt me," she said, her eyes full of mirth.
Hearing the confidence in her voice, Wang Huo could only let her go and shake his head. He didn't understand why his niece was acting strange when she was supposed to be nice to them Wang Huo knew that Jiang Yue had her reasons for doing this.
Jiang Yue once more walked towards the target, holding the apple in her hand. Once she reached the target, she turned to take a look at Fu Jin and smiled at him. Fu Jin's face was unfathomable. However, Jiang Yue knew that he was worried but was trying to trust her decisions. She was sure that Fu Jin was fuming inside and might punish her again later.
She then turned her attention towards the Zhang Family and their company. For some reason, she could see some sort of concern from Tang Jiali. However, she was not certain if this was directed at her or Zhang Biqi.
"Alright! I'm ready!" she smiled while holding the apple in her hands, away from her body.
"Why don't you put the apple on top of your head, Miss Jiang?" Zhang Biqi said while sneering inwardly. She can't wait for Jiang Yue to give up and embarrass herself.
"Are you sure?" Jiang Yue asked, her eyes full of uncertainty.
"Of course. I am very confident of my skills."
Jiang Yue instantly beamed at her words. "Alright." she said as she put the apple on her head.
"Oi, Little Yue! That's too much!" Wang Minghua objected. "Fu Jin! Stop her! What is she doing?"
Fu Jin did not answer Wang Minghua right away. Instead, he just stared at Jiang Yue, silently scrutinizing her with a gaze full of meaning. Eventually he said, "Don't worry. I trust her."
Wang Minghua and Wang Huo frowned while walking towards Fu Jin. If something happens then…
"Alright! Since everyone is so worried, why don't we make a signed contract? No one is allowed to interfere. If either side disturbs us or one of us backs out, that side will need to pay a fine of fifty million dollars." Jiang Yue said. "What do you think?"
Her uncle and cousin's reactions were so amusing to her that she really wanted to laugh out loud. The most amusing thing was that her uncle and cousin seemed to have forgotten that these people were foreigners in this country. They would not hurt Jiang Yue and risked having the ire of the Fu and Wang family combined, against them in their own turf. This was why Jiang Yue was so confident that Zhang Biqi would not hurt her. Jiang Yue guessed that Zhang Biqi only wanted to scare her into doing something embarrassing, with no intention to actually harm her.
Of course, Jiang Yue's reasoning was not wrong. The Zhang Family and their company knew that it would be stupid for them to harm her at this time.
As far as Jiang Yue was concerned, the Zhang Family had not done anything suspicious aside from making some nonsense comments in order to size her up. If they really wanted to do her any harm, they could have chosen a less obvious way and not challenged her while her family was watching.
