Bringing Yun Xi down was what Liang Xinyi thought about every day. After suffering so much humiliation at her hands, every thought of Yun Xi filled Liang Xinyi with resentment.

She was certain that neither of them had strong pillars of support behind them, yet Yun Xi had managed to leave Liang Xinyi in the dust after every confrontation. Liang Xinyi doubted that anyone could understand her boiling rage.

Liang Xinyi was prepared to do whatever she had to do to pave her way into the upper-cla.s.s society of Jingdu. If she was unable to do that, she would have to stay a plain civilian for the rest of her life.

She had prepared herself psychologically about what she would have to sacrifice. Whether it was her pride or her reputation, she was determined to embark on the road to glory.

Despite being cousins, we have been at odds since we were kids. Therefore, I could not let Miss Han be hurt by Yun Xi. I will always look for ways to help Miss Han. Moreover, I grew up with Yun Xi so I know her weaknesses better than anyone. If Director Han would take me on as a partner in taking Yun Xi down, I will definitely not let you down.

Liang Xinyi did not bother to mask the viciousness and hatred she had for Yun Xi. She needed Han Hongbin to witness her anger and to see, within that anger, her determination and her sincerity.

She had to put on a display of will in order to move Han Hongbin into taking her under his wing.

While Liang Xinyi had been rambling about her determination to take down Yun Xi, the more experienced Han Hongbin had already established a plan for her. In fact, ever since Han Yaotian had reminded him of who Liang Xinyi was, he had had an idea in mind for her.

As Liang Xinyi had stated her desire to work for him, Han Hongbin had to give her a reply. More important, his reply had to convince Liang Xinyi that he needed her loyalty.

My daughter is arrogant. I must have spoiled Wanling when she was a kid. She does not have many friends, and lots of people tend to avoid her or shun her completely. Youre the only one who has been thinking about her and caring about her. It is an honor for her to have a friend like you. I appreciate that we have a common enemy that you are willing to work to take down together, but

Han Hongbin advanced, complimenting Liang Xinyi and praising her strong perseverance. He hoped that this would cus.h.i.+on the magnitude of his request and that Liang Xinyi would not see his proposal as unreasonable.

But? Liang Xinyi was ready for the turbulence that was ahead. She had psyched herself up for any unexpected troubles that would come her way.

My daughter is still being detained and whether she can be freed remains an unknown. Of course we can take you in, but if you visit me repeatedly the public might think you are my illegitimate daughter. This would be bad for both our reputations

Han Hongbin took a slight pause for effect. I heard youre close to Zhongteng too? he continued casually.

The mention of Han Zhongteng grated on Liang Xinyis nerves. What do you mean, Director Han?

She had hoped and prayed for Han Wanlings return in order to free herself from the clutches of Han Zhongteng, yet now she had circled herself back to where she had started.

Since you are on our side, I can be honest with you. Zhongteng had his sights set on Yaotians position. But hes not the one in line, his temper is bad, and he lacks a sense of responsibility. Moreover, he was involved in quite a bit of scandal recently. We could never let him be the heir of the family. If you could stand by him and be our eyes on him, we can keep track of his every move. He paused and continued, It would mean a great deal for us if you could help us in this way. We will reward you accordingly.

Um Liang Xinyi was reluctant, but in the face of Han Hongbins sincerity, she had to consider the proposal.

Han Hongbins reasons were justified. While his daughter remained in detention, Liang Xinyi needed to have a decent public image and reputation to seek a.s.sistance from others in the Han family.. If not, her lowly status might spread rumors of another Han family illegitimate child, and of course then Han Hongbin would never consider making her a part of the Han Corporation.
