Hearing Yun Bixue's cheerful voice, Xie Limo knew she was fine, so he said warmly, “I know my Ah Xue is terrific.”
“Yeah, so you don't have to worry. If you're busy with work, continue with your work.”
“I'm done for the day, so I'll be home shortly.”
Yun Bixue was still very happy to hear Xie Limo would be returning home early. She felt that the unhappiness caused by Xiajun Yanwu dissipated in an instant.
“Okay! I'll wait for you.”
It was only in his wife's presence that Xie Limo's expression appeared gentler.
As for Xiajun Yanwu, it had never occurred to Xie Limo to see her. No matter what terrible deed she did, he had other means to deal with her, and he did not need to do it himself.
After hanging up the phone, Yun Bixue said to Uncle Yang and the rest, “That's all. All of you can go back first. Just take care of the tasks I a.s.signed to you.”
“Yes, Miss Yun.”
On the way home, Xie Limo's phone rang in the car. He had thought it was Yun Bixue, so he answered it. Before he could say anything, he heard someone say, “Xie Limo, I'm w.a.n.g Qianjin!”
Xie Limo's expression flickered slightly as he continued driving. He narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “w.a.n.g Qianjin, you finally took the initiative to call.”
“If I don't call you, you're going to deal with my w.a.n.g family, aren't you?”
“That's right!” Xie Limo indeed planned on doing so. He remembered how Yun Bixue had grieved and felt sorrow over her grandfather's matter in the past.
Every time Xie Limo saw her secretly upset, his heart ached for her. This was why he could only attack the w.a.n.g family, to force him to take the initiative to contact himself.
It could be said that for Yun Bixue's sake, Xie Limo was willing to make public the Xie family and w.a.n.g family's conflict.
However, he hadn't expected that w.a.n.g Qianjin would call Yun Bixue first, and his att.i.tude and thoughts were different from what he had imagined.
“Xie Limo, you're that sure?”
“It's not that I'm sure, but I can stake the entire Xie family on this. I know you won't do the same..”
w.a.n.g Qianjin wasn't mad but laughed instead. “Xie Limo, you're ruthless indeed. You have the drive. For Yun Bixue's sake, you can even do this.”
Xie Limo was willing to gamble with the Xie family at stake for one woman. Even if the timing wasn't right, he wanted to go against his w.a.n.g family.
But he, w.a.n.g Qianjin, wouldn't fight the Xie family with the entire w.a.n.g family at stake.
Hence, when the timing was right, he naturally took the initiative to tell Yun Bixue and Xie Limo about Old Master Yun's matter.
Xie Limo didn't beat around the bush. “Did you know about my weaknesses right from the start?”
w.a.n.g Qianjin smiled devilishly, half leaning against a chair. Propping his head up, he said lazily, “Indeed. Because I know your weaknesses, I saved Old Master Yun by mistake.”
Xie Limo's expression changed. He said in a deep voice, “w.a.n.g Qianjin, you were planning to use Old Master Yun as a bargaining chip to negotiate with me at the start.”
“Perhaps that was my initial intention, but later, I changed my mind.”
Xie Limo said coldly, “w.a.n.g Qianjin, you ought to feel glad you changed your mind. If you really used Old Master Yun to threaten me, you might be able to do it once, but afterwards I'll overturn your w.a.n.g family.”
w.a.n.g Qianjin's expression changed drastically. He narrowed his eyes in an alluring way, lowering his legs from the chair. Holding onto his phone, he said with clenched teeth, “Xie Limo, you really disregard the consequences!”
