Ren Yaoqi thought about it and felt that what Xiao Jingxi said made sense.
Originally, Xiao Jingxi had no intention of interfering in the affairs of the Han and Lei families. Even if she lost, the consequences wouldn't be any worse. As for what she was asked to do, Ren Yaoqi didn't think the Second Young Master Xiao would be short of people to work for him, so for Xiao Jingxi, it was just a small prize. She believed he wouldn't embarrass a weak woman like her.
"If I lose, you can also ask me to do something." Xiao Jingxi smiled and continued to throw bait.
Xiao Jinglin sat aside and listened. He felt that the bet sounded fair for the time being, so he continued to drink his tea without interrupting.
This time, Ren Yaoqi was not dazzled by Xiao Jingxi's smile. After all, now was not the time to appreciate beauty.
So she thought for a long time, then asked seriously, "Young Master Xiao just said that if I win, you will let the Lei family replace the Han family. Can your opinion represent the opinion of the Yanbei Palace?"
Xiao Jingxi was stunned when he heard this, then he stroked his forehead and smiled: "You really are... unwilling to suffer any loss."
Ren Yaoqi looked at him but smiled without saying anything.
Perhaps this bet was just a whim-filled joke to Xiao Jingxi, but it was very important to her. So even though she believed in Xiao Jingxi's character and admitted that he had a nice smile, she wouldn't fall for any of his verbal traps.
Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi and smiled faintly, "My words cannot represent the Yanbei Palace, but I never break my promises."
Ren Yaoqi finally smiled and blinked: "Okay, then I believe you."
Xiao Jingxi choked when he heard this. In his entire life, he had never heard anyone say to him such a reluctant "Okay, then I believe you" in such a tone and expression.
Ren Yaoqi, however, could not see the conflicted feelings beneath Young Master Xiao's perfect expression and asked, "What are we betting on? Young Master Xiao, please give the question."
Xiao Jinglin on the side couldn't help but smile. He looked at Ren Yaoqi and then at Xiao Jingxi, and continued to drink tea.
Ren Yaoqi was a little frightened by her sudden smile: "Princess, what are you laughing at?"
Xiao Jinglin put down the teacup, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Nothing."
Ren Yaoqi: “…”
Xiao Jingxi: "..."
In fact, Xiao Jinglin really didn't think of anything strange. She just felt that someone who looked unfathomable and invincible couldn't scare away all his opponents just by pretending.
At least there was someone who didn't fall for his tricks, and this person was her friend. Princess Xiao was just happy.
Of course, she didn't think her happiness was gloating. Princess Xiao always believed that she was righteous and upright, and had lofty ideals.
As for the dark mentality of someone being too smart and having been subjected to all kinds of pressure since childhood, and now desperately hoping that person will be humiliated, Princess Xiao, after self-reflection, stated very honestly that this would never happen to her.
Business was important, so Xiao Jinglin ultimately did not influence the two people who were negotiating.
"The bet is that this time you find a way to help the Lei family survive this disaster." Xiao Jingxi said slowly.
Ren Yaoqi: “…”
