Ren Yaoqi felt that she should have realized it earlier.

She is not someone who would let herself suffer losses. Could it be that Xiao Jingxi is not the one?

This gamble really seemed to have no loss for her, but it also had even less loss for Xiao Jingxi.

As long as the Lei family can survive this crisis, they will be able to gain the upper hand, and it is natural that the Yanbei Palace finally chose the Lei family.

To put it bluntly, the true meaning of this bet was that she had worked tirelessly to help the Lei family escape danger and break through the siege, allowing the Yanbei Palace to pick up a good pawn who was strong on the outside but weak on the inside and had obvious leverage. Then, the Second Young Master Xiao reluctantly granted her a small wish.

Even the Ren family's coal mine had never signed such a shameless indenture.

Although Ren Yaoqi had decided to help the Lei family on the way here, he couldn't help but grit his teeth when he saw Xiao Jingxi's appearance.

Fortunately, she was very well-educated, so she just smiled at Xiao Jingxi when she heard that.

After a while, he asked, "Mr. Xiao, are you interested in doing business?"

Xiao Jingxi raised his eyebrows and remained calm: "It's a good idea, but unfortunately my family probably won't agree."

Ren Yaoqi nodded, his tone full of regret: "This is such a pity. You have such a good calculation. It would be a waste of your talent if you don't go into business."

Xiao Jingxi: "..."

Xiao Jinglin burst out laughing.

Xiao Jingxi smiled bitterly and shook his head. After thinking for a while, he compromised and said, "Okay, let's change the bet."

He hadn't originally intended to actually bet with Ren Yaoqi on this. No matter how smart and perceptive Ren Yaoqi was, she was still just a young girl, even younger than Xiao Jinglin. The Lei family's current situation was too much for Lei Ting to handle.

The girl who didn't want to sit across from him smiled and shook her head, saying, "No, let's just bet on this."

If she bet on something else, she wouldn't be sure of winning.

Moreover, she didn't believe in good things that fell from the sky. Even though she and Xiao Jinglin were friends, she didn't think Xiao Jingxi would help her regardless of the consequences for this reason.

People who have experienced being isolated and helpless with no one to turn to for help will not be weak as long as they survive. They have also learned to be self-reliant at critical moments.

Xiao Jingxi was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure?"

Ren Yaoqi did not answer immediately, but lowered his head and thought about it.

Xiao Jingxi was not in a hurry and sat opposite her waiting for her to figure it out.

In fact, Ren Yaoqi was wrong about one thing. Xiao Jingxi was willing to give her some help within his ability after knowing that Han Yunshan and the Ren family really had a grudge.

It’s a pity that one of these two people has never enjoyed the selfless help of others, while the other is not familiar with the kind act of unconditionally helping others.

"I want to know about the Lei family." Ren Yaoqi said.

Xiao Jingxi thought for a moment, then turned and told Hongying, "Let Tongde in."
