Yun Bixue had many speculations, and within a short period, she couldn't be sure of the real reason too.
Xie Limo answered calmly, “I made the call to eradicate the Jiang family in the capital. The Jiang family is no longer one of the families under the Xie family's protection. They're already unwanted. Sooner or later, they'll be completely gone.
Judging from Xie Limo's cold expression, Yun Bixue could guess how the Jiang family would end up eventually.
“The last person that the Jiang family should offend is you.”
That was what Xie Limo truly felt.
Yun Bixue was taken aback. Indeed, she didn't like the Jiang family very much. It began after what happened with Jiang Jingshan.
However, with Jiang Jingshan dead now, she didn't care about the Jiang family anymore. Nevertheless, she knew that Xie Limo wouldn't let the Jiang family off the hook.
She blinked and asked, “Are you going to meet them?”
Xie Limo looked at her and answered, “Since they've come here, they must have their reasons. If you want to vent your anger on them, you can too.”
Yun Bixue's eyes lit up, and a sly glint flashed across her eyes. “Should I spite them intentionally? When we were in Ning An City, they even tried to get Jiang Jingshan to seduce you. I still remember it.”
Xie Limo coughed and stared at Yun Bixue. “How do you know about that?”
“Someone in the Jiang family told me. Don't a.s.sume that I don't know anything!”
Xie Limo smiled warmly. “Okay, don't get angry over such a small matter. Nothing happened in the end, right? My eyes are only for you.”
“I know, but I still feel uncomfortable. Shouldn't they suck up to you instead? Why did they send their daughter to seduce you?”
Xie Limo's gaze turned solemn. Recalling what happened back then, he felt very repulsed too. “That was because the Xie family had been low-profile for too long. Those n.o.ble families were too greedy and had forgotten their roots. They forgot who their leader was and tried to use beauty to confuse me!”
Yun Bixue's eyes lit up. “How did you reject her? Jiang Jingshan seemed to be afraid of you, yet still wanted to approach you.”
Xie Limo patted her head. “She was frightened by Xie Liu. Don't think too much.”
Xie Limo didn't intend to tell Yun Bixue that Xie Liu had hypnotized her. After all, it was an uncommon and dishonest practice. It was better that Yun Bixue didn't know about it.
“Since they're here, let them in. I want to see what they want to do. If they show me a good att.i.tude, perhaps we can be more forgiving.”
Xie Limo bopped Yun Bixue's nose. “Even if you want to, the others will not let the Jiang family off. The law and the other n.o.ble families already have their eyes on them.”
“Is that why they have no choice but to come to plead with you?”
“Let's see what they have to say.”
When Old Master Jiang and Jiang Shantao entered, they saw Xie Limo and Yun Bixue on the sofa with a group of guards surrounding them.
Despite being experienced, Old Master Jiang was still startled by the scene.
As for Jiang Shantao, he was simply an unreliable weakling. His legs started shaking at what he saw.
Yun Bixue sipped on her tea and said calmly, “What brings you here, Old Master Jiang?”
Hearing Yun Bixue's unfriendly tone, Old Master Jiang tried to suppress his anger, causing his face to turn red. “I wish to speak to Young Master Xie.”
Jiang Shantao heard her voice and raised his head to look. She was beautiful!
