Although she had already washed her eyes with an eye solution to ease the stinging pain, her current appearance still hadn’t improved much.
“It’s my own fault. It’s not his fault.” Opening her eyes, she raised her head to look into his angry eyes. She put on a comforting smile to change the subject. “My eyes don’t feel so good. What does the document say?”
“The Qiao family’s financial report is out. I’ve already asked Baifan to inform the representatives from the various wealthy families to attend a meeting. Due to what has happened to the Han family recently, as well as their loss of assets, the Han family is no longer suitable to be one of the big four wealthiest families. We have to elect a new family for the short term.”
“That was pretty fast. Looks like the Qiao family can’t sit still anymore. However, do you know how much the asset evaluation in your hands is worth?”
Even if the Qiao family gave the evaluation report, who knew if the Qiao family would falsely report the data in order to become one of the big four clans?
“This portion isn’t too much. I’ve already gotten Baifan to remind Qiao Dehao to start with the Han family. If he’s lying, then he will have to get more money from the Han family to fill the hole. Whether the Han family will be willing is one thing, and, if they’re not, then the Qiaos will have to move their own money around. Do you think that he would be so foolish to reveal everything?”
“That’s true. The evaluation should be similar to your prediction, right?”
“It won’t be far off. Speaking of which, I’ve overestimated the Qiao family.” Mu Feichi scoffed before he turned around and sat down beside her. “Compared to the Qiao family, the Qiao family’s side branch isn’t much different from them now. I’ve underestimated the development of the Qiao family’s side branch during the past few years.”
“Oh?” When he said this, Yun Xi became curious. Her red and swollen eyes narrowed slightly, and her hazy vision made it hard for others to see what she was thinking.
She had not expected that the Qiao family’s side branch would develop so quickly. They were so low profile that they had caught her off guard.
Seeming to have thought of something, she turned to look at the man who was leaning lazily against her and asked him with a half-smile, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll bring trouble to you?”
“When have I ever taken the Qiao family seriously?”
Mu Feichi reached out and held the little vixen in his arms. He lowered his eyes and looked at the pretty face that was right in front of him. She looked a little pathetic, and he couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.
He knew very well that she wanted the Qiao family head to be consigned to eternal damnation. Since they were taking a big risk anyway, why not eliminate the Qiao family head first?
To her, one less threat was more than enough to make her happy.
Yun Xi thought about it and agreed. Without Mu Feichi’s support, it would be unlikely that the Qiao family’s side branch would replace the Qiao family.
However, now that she was involved, the situation had changed. She had to be prepared not to be attacked.
“Even if the Qiao family doesn’t know what’s good for them, with your methods, with me as your backer, what are you afraid of?”
Mu Feichi raised his hand and touched her head. Even though she still had the chemical smell of the tear gas, he still felt that her scent was the best.
“Don’t worry, just do what you want to do. Even if the sky falls, I’ll be there.”
“I understand…” He cared about everything concerning her, yet he also gave her the most freedom. He allowed her to do what she wanted and not worry about the irreversible consequences.
In her two lifetimes, Mu Feichi was the only person who could shelter her from the wind and rain and provide her with a piece of the sky.
Clenching her fists tightly, she secretly made up her mind that no matter what happened in the future, she would never let him down.
Raising her head slightly, she blinked and asked, “What’s the good news? What is it?”
