Xilin was taken aback, then nodded. "Yes, Miss. Miss Rongman's family is in charge of the Delin family's arms. The weapons we are using now were all obtained by Miss Rongman's family."

As he spoke, he added a couple more sentences of explanation.

"Although Miss Rongman is as proud as a rose, she has a very fiery temper. In this respect, Miss Rongman is quite an expert in arms dealing. Many of the collaborations we have now are negotiated by her."

Qi Jiu nodded knowingly. Rong Man's temper was a bit too much, and this weaponry really suited her temperament. If she could also achieve some success in martial arts, that would be perfect.

Before anything could be said, the study door was pushed open again.

Mengling's expression seemed a little off.

"Miss, downstairs is... Miss Rongman is angry and is smashing a cup."

"Why?"

These days, the Delin family has to be extra careful with every step they take. Rongman may have a fiery temper, but she is not unreasonable.

Something must have happened to cause her to act this way.

"It seems to be related to arms cooperation."

Mengling stood beside Xilin, glanced at him cautiously, and then lowered her head.

Rongman is considered to have the worst temper among the Delin family members, and now she is experiencing it firsthand.

"Weapons? It failed?"

The Delin family is an international family, and the places they live in are naturally not as safe as China. If something goes wrong with their weapons, it won't be a simple matter.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that the contract negotiations have fallen through.

"Let's go down and take a look."

With that, she got up, opened the study door, and walked out, followed by the two guards.

“Man’er…”

Downstairs, Qing Shuang watched Rong Man throwing a tantrum and tried to reason with her, but her temper was just too much to bear…

"What's wrong, Third Sister?"

Suddenly, a cheerful voice came from upstairs. Everyone looked up and saw Qi Jiu lying lazily on the stair railing, watching them with great interest.

Seeing this, Rongman, who was about to swing the cup down, stopped abruptly. She looked at the girl upstairs and pursed her lips.

As proud as a rose, she should know how to write the word "face".

Now that Qi Jiu has caught him throwing a tantrum, he probably doesn't want to be like this. After all, the heir has just returned.

Rongman put down the glass in her hand without saying a word, but the expression on her face betrayed her.

It seems there's a tricky situation.

"Qiqi, did I scare you?" Qing Shuang looked at the person upstairs, her smile somewhat forced.

The girl shook her head and slowly walked downstairs.

He arrived at Rongman's side in no time. Today, Rongman was wearing a wine-red long dress and her makeup was exquisite.

She truly resembles the proud rose of the Delin family, except now this rose... seems to have a bit of a temper.

The girl looked at the shards of glass at her feet, bent down, and just as she stretched out her hand, several anxious voices came from the side.

"Miss! Be careful not to get cut!"

"Qiqi!"

Mengling quickly reached out and shielded Qijiu with her own body, while Qingshuang was startled and her expression turned rather unpleasant.

"How could you pick up shards of glass with your bare hands? What if you cut yourself?"

As she spoke, she called over the maids and had them carefully clean the area with brooms. "Man'er probably scared you. I'll talk to her about it, Qiqi, you don't need to worry about it."

Rongman stood to the side without saying a word. Although she was not in a good mood after hearing this, the lack of weapons was even more upsetting.

"fine."

The girl waved her hand dismissively. If she were to be frightened by someone else's temper, wouldn't that be too fragile?

"What's wrong, Third Sister?"

The commotion that just happened brought Qi Lin out as well.

He glanced at the servants busily tidying up the hall, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

Rongman clenched her fists at her sides, looking at Qijiu with a smile in her eyes, without saying a word. Seeing this, Qingshuang smiled and walked over to avoid an awkward atmosphere.

"It's nothing, just a slight problem with the collaboration, you don't need to worry."

"arms?"

Qing Shuang was taken aback, then nodded. "Yes, don't worry, it's nothing serious."

"mom……"

Rongman could tell she still had something to say, but ultimately turned her head away.

Seeing this, how could the girl not notice?

"It seems this is no small matter. Third Sister, tell me about it. I've returned as the heir, so there are some things I should naturally know, shouldn't I?"

Once the hall returned to silence, the girl understood what had happened.

"So the promised arms have suddenly doubled in price? Not only is the price different, but the quantity has also changed? In other words, this is completely different from what was stated in the contract?"

Rong Man nodded, her tone somewhat unpleasant. "But the other party... with the current power of our Delin family, dealing with them might be difficult. So for now, we can only endure this in silence."

As she spoke, the anger on her face seemed to become even more pronounced.

Seeing her like this, Qi Jiu chuckled softly.

If she had some bombs on her hands right now, given her temper, she could probably blow up the Delin family's building.

"I understand, the other party only contacted us by phone?"

Rongman nodded.

"Then please, Third Sister, make a phone call and arrange for them to come out. No matter what method you use, even if you have to tell a huge lie, you have to get them to come out."

"...Huh?" Rongman seemed a little taken aback. "You want to talk to me in person?"

To be honest, looking at the questioning expression on her face, Qi Jiu really wanted to see how they would look when they were proven wrong.

"Yeah, since you've already reached an agreement, one more talk won't necessarily lead to the worst outcome, right? Why not give it a try? What do you think?"

"……All right."

Although it may sound harsh, that's the truth of the matter.

At this moment, Lin Yan also returned from outside.

He looked at the people sitting in a circle in the hall and subconsciously came behind Qi Jiu, standing in a row with Meng Ling and Xi Lin.

After the call, everyone waited anxiously, while the girl fiddled with her phone in her hand, eventually even starting to play games.

"Sis, when are you going to help me rank up? I've been begging you for so long!"

Lin Yan stood behind her, watching her fingers nimbly slide across the screen, his eyes practically overflowing with envy.

"No, you're too bad. You don't even understand the skills."

Rongman, Qilin, and Qingshuang, who had overheard everything, were speechless.
