Chapter 429 You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub.
"Um?"
Ye Wanxi looked at Feng Tianyu with a blank expression, not understanding why he was stopping her.
Feng Tianyu didn't explain, but instead took out a small pendant and handed it to Xiao Jihui: "A thank-you gift for you."
Xiao Jihui was taken aback. Although he didn't quite understand the purpose of the item, he still accepted it with great care.
"Thanks."
Ye Wanxi glanced at the small pendant Feng Tianyu had given away, then at the peace charm in her hand.
I have to admit that the gift my senior brother gave me was indeed more practical than the one I received.
After all, that other person's talisman could at least withstand three fatal blows for Xiao Jihui, while his own talisman was just a one-time consumable.
Therefore, Ye Wanxi naively thought that her senior brother had stopped her earlier because he thought the gift she gave him was too shabby and he couldn't give it to her.
After Xiao Jihui and the others left, Feng Tianyu suddenly said sourly, "In the future, don't give things to other men casually."
Ye Wanxi blinked, and after a moment of confusion, she suddenly realized: "Senior Brother, are you jealous?!"
Feng Tianyu froze, turning his face away, but he couldn't hide his slightly reddened ear tips.
"……Um."
Ye Wanxi's smile deepened, and she said cheerfully, "Then I won't see you off next time."
Feng Tianyu raised an eyebrow, but before he could even feel happy, Ye Wanxi added, "By selling!"
Feng Tianyu: "..."
"Alright."
After a moment of hesitation, Feng Tianyu finally chose to compromise.
Ye Wanxi sensed his reluctance, grabbed his arm, and teased, "How come I never noticed you were so jealous before? You were jealous of the children at the orphanage, and now you're jealous of Vice Minister Xiao. Please, this is the first time we've met, and he already has a girlfriend. At his age, if this were ancient times, he could have a child at fifteen or sixteen, old enough to be my father. How did you come to see any sense of crisis in him?"
"..." It sounds... kind of reasonable?
Ye Wanxi struggled to suppress her laughter and continued to coax him, "I just feel sorry for him. He's just an ordinary person with a father like that. Before this, he must have had a bright future, if not a promising one. But now, because of this special department that suddenly appeared, his father had no choice but to transfer him here as some kind of deputy minister."
"It's like throwing a sheep into a pack of wolves, and this sheep even tries to lead the pack and become the alpha of the wolves. Do you think that's dangerous?"
"Considering that his father had secretly helped us a few times before and taken good care of us, and that he went to great lengths to help us today, even if we can't help him establish his authority, we can't just sit idly by and watch him die, can we?"
Ye Wanxi's explanation successfully eased Feng Tianyu's tense expression, and he no longer felt awkward mentioning Xiao Jihui as before.
"He's no sheep." At best, he's a wolf in sheep's clothing.
"Yes, yes, he isn't. But you have to admit that people like us are still different from ordinary people. No matter how powerful an ordinary person is, they may not be able to withstand those unpredictable and mysterious methods."
"So, let's give him a taste of success now. He'll definitely come back to us later, and then we can sell him more. Who knows, just him as a big client might be enough for me to get rich. No, wait, he's the deputy minister of a special department. As long as we use him as a breakthrough, I'm not afraid that others won't fall into my lap. At that time..."
"..."
Feng Tianyu watched his junior sister's shrewd little scheme as she muttered to herself, feeling both helpless and amused. It turned out that what she meant by "selling" in the future was this.
There's a saying, "You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub." So, the peace charm she was about to give away was the cub she was planning to use to catch the wolf?
As the two were talking, Gao Min looked at the messy hall and felt guilty and had a headache.
"Wanxi, the glass is broken, the walls are scratched, and there are all these decorations and chairs. This house will probably need to be renovated."
Hearing her say that, Ye Wanxi also remembered that she still had a lot of mess to clean up.
"It's alright, I'll call my second brother in a bit and ask him to find a reliable renovation company to redecorate this place. Sister Gao, you pack your things first, we'll move to that apartment in Yayuan for a while."
The advantage of owning multiple properties is that you'll never have to worry about having nowhere to live if a property suddenly becomes unavailable.
Feng Tianyu had originally planned to take advantage of the situation to have his junior sister move in with him after seeing how badly the house was destroyed by the demon's self-destruction.
Before she could even utter a word, Ye Wanxi had already devised a countermeasure.
It was obvious where the house came from. Feng Tianyu's face darkened, and he was already planning how to settle accounts with the person responsible.
Completely unaware that he had worried too much and had inadvertently ruined his senior brother's plans: Achoo!
Gao Min was delighted to hear Ye Wanxi say this. Ya Yuan is a high-end apartment complex located in the north of the city. It has convenient transportation, reliable property management, and strong confidentiality for its residents.
Most importantly, it's only about a ten-minute walk from the filming studio of the TV series "Jianghu," which is quite close.
Ye Wanxi had taken her there once before. The house had a usable area of 300 square meters and also had an indoor swimming pool.
Tsk, the happiness of the rich!
Ye Wanxi has a lot of scenes in "Jianghu", and it is estimated that filming will take more than two months. It will be more convenient for her to come and go after moving there.
That was settled, except for Gao Qiang and his companion...
"Ms. Ye, this whole mess started because of us, and we also bear some responsibility for the state of your house. How about you see how much it would cost to repair it, and we'll compensate you?"
Ye Wanxi hadn't expected him to be so proactive. She was about to say that it wasn't necessary or that she would deduct it from Gao Min's bonus, since she had originally planned to give her a big gift at the end of the year.
But then they thought, "A little kindness is appreciated, but too much kindness breeds resentment." Besides, Gao Min is their sister, not their parent. Even parents don't have the right to dedicate their entire lives to their children.
"Then let's split it in half. I'll pay half, and you can pay the other half. I'll send you the bill later. Considering you've just graduated, we can extend the repayment period and won't force you to pay a certain amount every month."
The two breathed a sigh of relief; this outcome was already quite lenient for the young couple.
"Oh, right, that antique desk lamp..."
"An antique table lamp?"
"That's how it is." Gao Min twitched her lips and briefly explained to Ye Wanxi.
Ye Wanxi was both amused and exasperated after hearing this: "That wasn't broken by you guys, so it doesn't count."
"Besides this antique lamp, are there any other...?"
Gao Min opened her mouth to speak, but Ye Wanxi stopped her first: "That's all, there's only this one."
