Chapter 1211: The New Plan
"If I were you, I definitely wouldn't be able to accept this outcome. No matter what, you're still alive, and the Xiao family should still consider you the head of the family!"
Xiao Jincheng had no patience to listen to Si Wen's sarcastic remarks any longer. He turned his head and said angrily, "If you came here just to see me make a fool of myself, then you can get lost now!"
Si Wen was not intimidated by Xiao Jincheng's anger. Instead, he patiently explained, "I just wanted to help you. Why are you so angry?"
"How can you help me?"
Looking up at the azure sky, Si Wen's youthful face shone brightly. However, a hint of gloom, inappropriate for his age, lingered in his eyes.
"The Xiao family is now doomed. Xiao Mingyang has a firm grip on all sides. Even though you recently instigated the minority shareholders to join forces to force him out, it didn't fundamentally harm Xiao Mingyang."
With a cold snort, Xiao Jincheng said, "I know all this without you having to tell me!"
Turning around, Si Wen smiled alluringly, not angered by Xiao Jincheng's rudeness, and said softly, "Although we can't change the situation, we can still make things difficult for Xiao Mingyang. With his own backyard on fire, he naturally won't have time to spare, and you will get a chance to catch your breath."
Recalling the grudges between Si Wen and Xiao Mingyang, Xiao Jincheng sneered inwardly. However, on the surface, he seemed interested in Si Wen's suggestion and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"If Lin Yuqing leaves Xiao Mingyang's side, Xiao Mingyang will naturally be devastated!"
Xiao Jincheng thought this man would offer some good advice, but to his surprise, it was just the same old story.
Turning his head to the side, Xiao Jincheng revealed a disdainful look and said, "If I could have done it back then, I wouldn't be in this state today! Even I couldn't do it, so what can you, a mere brat, do?"
"Don't speak so confidently. Anything can happen before something actually happens."
Seeing Si Wen's confident demeanor, Xiao Jincheng asked again, "Since you want Lin Yuqing to leave, what methods do you have that I haven't tried?"
Raising an eyebrow at Xiao Jincheng, Si Wen smiled and said, "The methods are all similar, but this time I'll have Zhang Kaifeng participate as well, which will make the game more interesting!"
Si Wen's words made Xiao Jincheng fall silent for a moment, then he turned his head, looked at the beautiful roses, and asked, "You came to see me, surely it wasn't just to hear your innermost thoughts, was it?"
A strange smile played on Si Wen's lips as he plucked a rose and toyed with it in his hand. Pink petals scattered between his slender, pale fingers. Si Wen lowered his head and said leisurely, "Of course I need Master Xiao's cooperation. After it's done, Xiao Mingyang will part ways with Lin Yuqing, and the Xiao family father and son will obey your arrangements. You, Xiao Jincheng, will still be the master of the Xiao family!"
The scene Si Wen described was exactly what Xiao Jincheng dreamed of. He thought he would eventually grow old, wield immense power, and then one day relinquish it all. But when that day finally arrived, Xiao Jincheng realized how unbearable it was to be unknown! Hiding in a dark corner, quietly waiting to die, was far less satisfying than being shot dead!
Therefore, Xiao Jincheng decided that he would regain power until the day he died!
The light in his dim eyes flickered, but Xiao Jincheng concealed it well. With his eyelids lowered, he looked at the ground and asked, "What good will it do you to oppose Xiao Mingyang?"
As the last petal fell, Si Wen's smile was as radiant as the blooming flowers, but his tone carried a chilling coldness.
"If I can't have Lin Yuqing, then no one else can!"
……
As soon as Lin Yuqing came out of the bedroom, she found a pile of newly delivered letters on the table, so she sat down and began to read them one by one.
When a bright red invitation came into Lin Yuqing's view, she froze.
Lin Yuqing opened the invitation with her fingers and looked at the two familiar names inside, feeling a little melancholy.
"what is this?"
A pair of long arms embraced Lin Yuqing from behind, resting their chins on Lin Yuqing's shoulders and nuzzling her.
Lin Yuqing felt a little itchy, shrank her neck, giggled, then turned around and broke free from Xiao Mingyang's clutches, spread the things out in her hands, and said, "Here, take a look for yourself."
Curious, Xiao Mingyang took it and looked at it closely, raising an eyebrow in surprise.
"Zhang Kaifeng's wedding invitation?! This guy's really quick."
Xiao Mingyang's words made Lin Yuqing sigh deeply, staring at the pile of letters on the table.
Seeing Lin Yuqing's dejected expression, Xiao Mingyang felt a pang of jealousy. He reached out and pulled Lin Yuqing back into his arms. "What's with that expression? Are you feeling sorry for her?"
"Nonsense, why would I be heartbroken? I'm just worried." Lin Yuqing frowned and said, "Kaifeng's hasty engagement is really too frivolous. It's not only irresponsible to himself, but also to Donna."
“Zhang Kaifeng is a grown man, does he really need someone else to help him with his marriage? Everyone has their own path to walk, so don’t worry about him. You’ve known him for so long, and you’ve never seen Zhang Kaifeng get troubled by anything, so you should trust him. Besides, marriage is a joyous occasion, and we should congratulate them. Your bitter and resentful look is very unlucky.”
Looking helplessly at Xiao Mingyang, Lin Yuqing touched his lips and said, "You're usually so talkative, but now you're so eloquent when you try to persuade me."
"I'm just stating the facts. What, you don't agree?"
“I agree. How could I dare to refute what our CEO Xiao said?” Lin Yuqing smiled, then said with a hint of melancholy, “I just hope that Kaifeng won’t regret the choice he made today.”
Xiao Mingyang casually tossed the wedding invitation aside, gently kissed Lin Yuqing, and said in a low voice, "Alright, I finally got a day off, don't keep talking about other men, okay? Otherwise I'll get jealous. Your husband can be terrifying when he's jealous, hmph!"
As he spoke, Xiao Mingyang deliberately showed off his strong shoulders, looking like a wolf or tiger.
Lin Yuqing was amused by his appearance and laughed for a long time until tears welled up in her eyes.
Xiao Mingyang never expected that his charming side would be ridiculed by Lin Yuqing like this. He immediately used his strength to push Lin Yuqing down onto the sofa, biting her shoulder as punishment, and said with dissatisfaction, "What, is your husband so funny?"
"No, no," Lin Yuqing hurriedly shook her head, forcing a smile, and reached out to wrap her arms around Xiao Mingyang's waist, praising, "You are Xiao Mingyang, the most charming man in the entire universe. Women will all fall for you, and of course I am no exception!"
