Chapter 1030: Could Be a Trap
When Fu Jiuxiao came to pick up Jiang Li, he found that the atmosphere in the living room was very strange.
Jiang Li hugged Kong Xia’s arm tightly and kept talking, trying to coax her. However, Kong Xia was obviously in a bad mood, and she was glaring at Yue Qing.
Yue Ji was glaring at Yue Qing, and Yue Qing lowered his head like a child who was being scolded for doing something wrong.
Fu Jiuxiao felt extremely awkward.
He felt that the Yue family was dealing with family matters, and he should be waiting for Jiang Li downstairs.
When Jiang Li saw Fu Jiuxiao, it was as if she saw her savior. She quickly put on a smile and said, “Xiao, you are here. Play a game of chess with my dad.”
“Okay!” Fu Jiuxiao agreed without hesitation.
Kong Xia pushed away Jiang Li’s hand and rolled her eyes at her. She looked at Fu Jiuxiao with a big smile and said gently, “Kid, are you hungry? Why don’t make some supper?”
“Thank you, auntie. I’m hungry.” Fu Jiuxiao was quite direct.
The depressing atmosphere in the living room suddenly disappeared.
The elders were busy with their own things. Jiang Li and Yue Qing sat on the sofa and looked at each other with unfriendly eyes.
“Hmph, we saved you in the end!” Jiang Li warned in a deep voice.
Yue Qing leaned on the sofa and looked at Jiang Li coldly. However, when he recalled what happened today, he felt that it was especially funny.
He and Jiang Li were like two children quarreling, and in the end, they had to be persuaded by the elders.
“This time, it’s my fault!” Yue Qing admitted his mistake directly.
Jiang Li was quite shocked and raised her eyebrows. “You’re playing tricks.”
Yue Qing was so angry that he laughed. His eyes fell on Yue Ji. Yue Ji was playing chess with Fu Jiuxiao, so he should not have heard their conversation.
He leaned forward slightly and asked seriously, “I’m not teasing you anymore. What exactly happened?”
Finally, he was getting down to business?
Jiang Li cleared her throat and said in a softer voice, “Blake’s uncle asked me to personally go to Country M to discuss this matter.”
“What they mean is that Blake needs to handle the business in Jing City and should not be involved in this matter.”
Yue Qing’s eyes dimmed and he nodded slowly. He said sincerely, “What they said is right. Blake has nothing to do with our matter. As a partner, he has already given a lot unconditionally.”
Jiang Li carefully looked at Yue Qing’s expression, trying to observe his true feelings, but she got nothing.
Yue Qing was good at hiding his true feelings.
Kong Xia’s voice broke the silence between the siblings, but she smiled at Fu Jiuxiao. “Jiuxiao, come here.”
“Thank you, auntie.” Fu Jiuxiao sat at the dining table, but his eyes fell on Jiang Li and Yue Qing.
Jiang Li decided to go over and talk.
After all, Fu Jiuxiao should know.
Fu Jiuxiao did not say a word throughout the whole process. He was thinking seriously and felt uneasy.
How could Samuel negotiate with Jiang Li personally? Unless he thought that this matter had greater benefits and could be used by him.
“Do you want to go?” Although Fu Jiuxiao did not agree, in the end, he respected Jiang Li’s decision.
Yue Qing said unhappily, “She needs to go so far away to negotiate. She can’t be falling into a trap, right?”
“Don’t think that you have a business relationship with Samuel, and he will talk to you amicably. He might set up many traps to plot against you.”
“If it were me, I would definitely use Jiang Li to gain more benefits. If Jiang Li went to the other party’s territory, wouldn’t she be delivering goods to their doorstep?”
Jiang Li had to admit that Yue Qing’s words made sense.
It was precisely these words that did not sound good.
It was getting late.
If they talked for too long, it would easily arouse the suspicion of the elders.
Fu Jiuxiao felt that the decision on this matter was up to Jiang Li, not him and Yue Qing.
“Let’s go back first. We can talk about it tomorrow.” Fu Jiuxiao’s hand rested on Jiang Li’s shoulder.
Jiang Li quickly came back to her senses and smiled at Fu Jiuxiao. “Okay, let’s go!”
Yue Qing sneered and did not try to persuade her anymore because he had figured out what Jiang Li was thinking.
Jiang Li was bold enough to confront anyone.
In order to deal with the Black Crow Organization, she would make more sacrifices and also put herself in danger.
After Fu Jiuxiao and Jiang Li left, Kong Xia sat opposite Yue Qing and asked seriously, “Yue Qing, what are you talking about?”
Yue Qing suddenly felt uneasy. He was afraid that his parents would find out about their plans, and he was too worried.
He casually made up a lie, shrugged his shoulders, and said, “Of course, it’s about the Jiang Corporation. It’s not easy for it to come back from the dead, and it still wants to expand its business. Let’s wait a little longer.”
Kong Xia let out a sigh of relief and said to Yue Qing seriously, “Yue Qing, as an older brother, you have to guide Ah Li well. Ah Li is good at everything, but she’s too impatient and impulsive. You have to persuade her.”
Impatient?
Impulsive?
Yue Qing thought that Jiang Li was even more reckless, right?
He smiled and comforted Kong Xia, “Mom, you and dad can rest assured. This girl doesn’t only have me by her side. There’s also Fu Jiuxiao. He can persuade her.”
Of course not.
Fu Jiuxiao and Jiang Li sat in the back seat. Both of them were silent and did not know what to say.
The driver felt that the atmosphere was too oppressive. He could not even breathe properly. He squeezed out a smile. “President Fu, where should we go?”
