Inside the Liu family's reception hall.

"Old Wu, come, come, this is some good tea that someone just gave me. You're the first to taste it!"

Across from the coffee table, a middle-aged man with a full beard, a domineering appearance, and wearing a loose bathrobe was happily fiddling with a tea set.

His technique was skillful; the tongs moved quickly across the teaware, and the precious porcelain cups made a crisp, clinking sound.

This man is Liu Jingxian, the current head of the Liu family.

A middle-aged man was sitting opposite the coffee table.

He was wearing a light blue suit, his face was fair, and he looked gentle and refined.

He sat there quietly, expressionless, watching the middle-aged man in a bathrobe across from him making tea.

"Come on, give it a try!"

Liu Jingxian poured the brewed tea into a small cup and gestured for it to be served. "If you like, I'll give you a box later!"

"No need for tea!"

Wu Qixuan waved his hand, his tone somewhat impatient, "Liu Jingxian, what exactly do you want to say to me?"

Originally, he and the Liu family had always kept to themselves.

But just now, someone came to his office and handed him a letter with only one sentence in it.

I care a lot about your daughter's career!

With just that one sentence, even though he didn't want to see Liu Jingxian, he still came.

He was a top figure in the business world, but he only had one daughter, Wu Yanping, whom he doted on and was afraid of causing her any grievance or harm.

Therefore, he had to find out the truth about anything related to his daughter, Wu Yanping.

Moreover, the person who invited him was the current head of the Liu family.

The letter, though seemingly casual, actually carries a sense of concern when taken literally.

but,

Behind this apparent concern lies a hidden threat!

He used his daughter, Wu Yanping, to threaten him into attending the banquet.

No matter how polite Liu Jingxian was or how friendly his smile was, he would never give him a good look.

"Old Wu, don't keep that long face!"

Liu Jingxian said with a smile, "We don't have any deep-seated hatred. I invited you here simply to talk to you about Yanping's career."

"Old dog Liu, what exactly do you want to do to Yanping?"

Wu Qixuan instantly flew into a rage and shoved the cup that Liu Jingxian had pushed in front of him away.

when!

The cup shattered on the spot, tea splashed everywhere, and the lingering steam in the air continued to rise and swirl.

The entire hall fell silent instantly, the atmosphere as oppressive as an icebox.

Liu Jingxian's smile gradually faded. He picked up another teacup, took a sip, and said unhurriedly, "Old Wu, I meant well, and you don't appreciate it, but there's no need to break things in my house, is there?"

Wu Qixuan frowned slightly.

His eyes flickered for a moment, then he sat back down on the sofa and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, I got a little excited just now and broke one of your cups. I'll have someone bring you a new one later."

"No!"

A smile returned to Liu Jingxian's face. "It's just a cup. It's fine if it breaks. If you're happy, Lao Wu, I'll have a truckload of them brought over so you can break as many as you want."

Wu Qixuan's lips twitched.

Liu Jingxian stopped teasing and straightened his expression, saying, "Old Wu, what I said just now was the truth. I invited you here because I want to cooperate with you. I have no ill intentions and I didn't mean to make fun of you."

"cooperate?"

Wu Qixuan rolled his eyes. "It's been so many years, and we haven't really had any contact. Why do you suddenly want to cooperate with me?"

“That’s because we were in different business areas before, so we weren’t on the same wavelength. But things are different now; we have a lot in common.”

"Oh? I don't see it that way," Wu Qixuan said dismissively.

"If I remember correctly, your daughter Wu Yanping and my daughter Liu Yanran were college classmates, right?"

Liu Jingxian said slowly and deliberately, "They have such a good relationship, and now that they're all grown up, shouldn't we look out for their future?"

"They are indeed college classmates, but my Yanping has already walked her own path. She doesn't need me to worry about her, so..."

Wu Yanping stood up and snorted coldly, "You don't need to bother with that!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Although the Liu family was wealthy and powerful, he had never liked Liu Jingxian's style.

Moreover, according to his understanding, although her daughter Wu Yanping and Liu Yanran were college classmates, they did not have a good relationship and were even hostile to each other.

Under these circumstances, he had even less reason to cooperate with Liu Jingxian.

"Old Wu, we're all businessmen. If there's profit to be made, why won't you do it?"

Liu Jingxian earnestly advised, "If I remember correctly, your daughter Wu Yanping seems to have been involved in quite a few scandals in the past two days, which has had a significant impact on her career in the entertainment industry."

"Liu Jingxian, how dare you bring this up?"

Wu Qixuan suddenly turned around and glared fiercely at Liu Jingxian. "I originally thought that it was really inappropriate for us old folks to interfere when the young people were causing trouble, so I turned a blind eye. Do you think I don't know who is behind the media's smear campaign against my daughter Yanping?"

Liu Jingxian looked somewhat embarrassed.

Wu Qixuan added, "If you're trying to use this to threaten me, you've probably picked the wrong person."

He paused, then added, "Also, I hope this is just a squabble between kids. If I find out that you, this old geezer, have gotten involved, then things might not be so simple!"
