"Is there anything else you want to say?"
"You saved my life, and in return, I feel it's necessary for me to offer you a few words of advice." Yi Yi didn't mince words and went straight to the point. "I know you're a very ambitious person with grand aspirations and lofty ideals. You're not satisfied with the current situation, and you don't want to be controlled, even by the Xiao family patriarch. But with Xiao Shenxing around, not only is your current position precarious, but your future is also unpredictable. Moreover, Xiao Shenxing sees you as a thorn in his side and wishes he could get rid of you as soon as possible."
While you're enjoying yourself elsewhere, he might be sharpening a knife behind your back, just waiting for you to turn around so he can slit your throat. So, I don't think you have any more time to waste whining to me here; it's time for you to take action.
Within the Xiao family, the conflict between Xiao Jinyan and Xiao Shenxing was obvious to everyone. Their conflict had only two possible outcomes: either Xiao Jinyan would die, or Xiao Shenxing would die.
Xiao Shenxing is a ruthless and vicious man. If he were to seize control of the Xiao family's empire, the peaceful and bustling Xiao family today would probably be reduced to a pile of bones.
"Thank you for your advice." Xiao Jinyan's expression was somewhat displeased, knowing that her unspoken meaning was simply that he should stop bothering her.
He has always been a man who can take things in stride and let them go easily. Not to mention one Yi Yi, even ten or a hundred Yi Yis could not stop him from moving forward.
"I have my own plans. And this battle will begin very soon."
"Then I'll wait and see."
Yi turned to leave.
"Wait... I've asked around about the shackles on your feet..."
"No need, you've already helped me a lot. It's just that my husband is petty and jealous. If you do something that he should be doing, he'll get angry."
Yi smiled, revealing her teeth, her lips curving upwards naturally, her eyes sparkling. She looked different from usual, and even more so from the first time she was seen in the savage village.
Is this the expression on her face when she thinks of the man she loves?
Xiao Jinyan suddenly felt a pang of jealousy. At this moment, she was the most beautiful version of herself he had ever seen.
As Yi Yi's figure gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor, Xiao Jinyan's eyes turned cold, revealing an unusual chill and ruthlessness.
The farce at the old man's birthday banquet was so big that almost everyone came here to watch the spectacle.
But the person who usually loves watching the excitement is nowhere to be found.
Xiao Shenxing...
...
Philadelphia, maple-lined waterfront, study.
“Daddy, daddy…”
Guoguo was lying on the sofa playing games on her tablet when she suddenly shouted out in surprise.
Mu Nanxun was dealing with company affairs when he heard Guoguo's voice. Without looking up, he replied, "Yeah, what's up?"
"Daddy, it's Mommy. Mommy's here! Baby's Mommy!"
In the past, whenever Guoguo saw someone in a magazine or on TV who looked somewhat similar to Yi Yi, she would excitedly run over to Mu Nanxun and tell him that it was her mother.
This time, Mu Nanxun thought it was another case of admitting a mistake, just like before.
So Mu Nanxun didn't take it seriously and continued to keep his head down and do his own thing.
She casually replied, "Guoguo, that's not Mom. Your mom is much prettier than that woman."
Little Guoguo seemed to be deep in thought. She tilted her head and thought for a while, then huffed and puffed as she climbed off the sofa and ran to Mu Nanxun's desk. She solemnly stretched out her chubby little hand in front of Mu Nanxun.
