The more Father Jia thought, the more he felt that things were amiss. Old Master Shen's attitude had been drastically different from before, and this puzzled him. He broke into a cold sweat, at a loss on what to do.
As he paced anxiously around in circles, he noticed the reporters outside. He couldn't leave the house; once he left, he would be targeted and subjected to interrogation. These reporters were getting more and more brazen.
Recalling Young Master Xie and Miss Yun, Father Jia's forehead started breaking out into a cold sweat. The couple weren't people they could trifle with—they were capable of all kinds of means.
Someone had reported to him what his son did that day at the Luxury Emperor. At that moment, he still refused to fully believe it, but now, he thought that Miss Yun was definitely not an easy target.
Could it be that Young Master Xie was also seeking revenge on the Jia family this time too? He knew that Young Master Xie pampered his wife, but he was spoiling her to the core. With Young Master Xie's keen enthusiasm to enact changes after taking on his new role, Father Jia wished that the Jia family would not be affected.
Without even being clear of Young Master Xie's background, his son had dared to commit such an act. It was all because Old Master Shen had intentionally offered up the Jia family as cannon fodder. "Sigh, you're just too stupid. You've offended both Young Master Xie and Yun Bixue. What are you going to do in the future?"
"My dear, is it really so serious?"
"You don't know the lengths that Young Master Xie can go to. He's just taken on his new role, but everything is still running smoothly under his jurisdiction. The prestigious and influential families attempted to overturn Young Master Xie to prevent him from wielding control over Ning An City, but look at the situation now. He's still ruling over all the matters quite capably. I already said that he's not someone that we can offend. What should we do now?" Father Jia paced around in circles.
"My dear, hurry and make a call. Go ask your friends and seek help from everyone. The Jia family can't collapse!" It was only now that Mother Jia realized the gravity of the situation. She had been too used to being the wife of a wealthy family and had never lived a day of poverty. The Jia family must be protected.
"That's right, Dad, quickly make the calls. I'll call my friends and ask around too." Although Jia Dongkun was stupid, he knew that all his money came from the Jia family. Without money, how could he still pick up girls?
However, regardless of the number of calls they made, almost none of them picked up the phone.
Finally, a close friend answered his call and spoke sincerely, "Brother Jia, what happened to your Jia family this time is truly too serious. It even alerted Tian Jing City. If Young Master Xie hadn't personally stepped in, the Jia family would be sealed away after an investigation. We won't be able to help!"
Someone else offered a suggestion. "Only Young Master Xie can handle this matter. However, your son managed to offend Young Master Xie, so dealing with it now won't be an easy feat. We all know that Young Master Xie is well-known for being protective of his loved ones. Nobody is reckless enough to provoke him, let alone his wife. Your son is truly daring!"
After ending the call, Father Jia felt as though he had aged instantaneously. Sitting down, he was at a loss on what to do.
Even though he called the Shen family, no one picked up the phone. They must have done it on purpose; the Shen family intended to leave the Jia family in the lurch. What could they do now? He truly couldn't come up with any ideas.
In the past, such matters were suppressed through bribery, but with the mining matter growing more and more intense, it couldn't be contained at all. He had no clue why the victims' families were acting so fervently. There must be someone backing them up.
The Jia family were like cats on a hot tin roof. Many of Ning An City's prestigious and influential families were also closely monitoring this issue to see how Young Master Xie would handle it. This would also directly influence the beacon in everyone's hearts.
At this moment, in Young Master Xie's villa.
Yun Bixue ate the dishes that Young Master Xie had prepared and nodded with praise. "Limo, your culinary skills are improving."
Xie Limo lovingly caressed Yun Bixue's hair. "I should say that my dear is getting easier to satisfy." Seeing that she was enjoying her meal, he felt more lighthearted himself. Regardless of how tired he felt in the day, as long as he returned home in the evening to see his wife, his feelings would brighten up.
Yun Bixue listened to Xie Limo's pampering words and smiled sweetly. She picked up a rib and sent it to the side of Xie Limo's mouth. "I've said this before. It's easy to provide for me."
A hint of gentle indulgence flashed across Xie Limo's alluring eyes. "Yes, it is indeed easy to provide for you, my dear. Those other people didn't appreciate you." He had been paying attention to the recent events revolving around the Su family, and he'd naturally pulled some strings behind the scenes. The mastermind behind the plot would have to face the consequences for his actions.
He would never take notice of insignificant figures like Su Lengxian. However, he had investigated that time when Yun Bixue was sent to his room at the Luxury Emperor—it was Su Lengxian who had devised the plan. She had been sent to the wrong room.
Thinking about how another man could have done that to his wife… A hint of malevolence flashed within Xie Limo's eyes. Su Lengxian would have to deal with much more than she had already experienced. Zhou Yang was thus assigned to her.
He believed that this would be a marvelous gift for Su Lengxian.
Yun Bixue was enjoying her meal, and when she looked up, she met the piercing coldness in Xie Limo's eyes. "Limo, are you scheming against someone again?"
Xie Limo leaned back lazily against the sofa and curled his lips into a smile. "What does my wife think?" Under his guidance, the capabilities of his wife had improved dramatically.
A thought popped up in Yun Bixue's head, and she recalled the recent incident regarding the Su family. She asked, "Limo, you couldn't have been involved with what happened to the Su family, right?"
"Do you think I still need to raise a finger? The Su and Meng families already share many disputes in the first place."
Yun Bixue nodded. Xie Limo was right. She had seen the recent news and didn't know if she should feel relieved or be sighing. It was fortunate that she was together with Xie Limo; he was indeed a wonderful husband who was meticulous in his care towards her.
Many times, she had suspected whether this was all real. However, the indulgence in Xie Limo's eyes had never seemed like a pretense at all.
He had given her a home, a warm home. She would be a brilliant wife and would hold this home very close to her heart.
"Oh right, Limo, I think we've reached a crucial moment with the Jia family, so we can now target the Shen family. Once the Shen family collapses, my grandma will no longer be able to act like a tyrant."
Xie Limo noticed a grain of rice on the side of Yun Bixue's mouth and reached out a slender hand to gently wipe it away. He asked softly, "Have you decided?" As long as she wanted to do something, he would support her without a second thought.
Yun Bixue nodded. "Yes, I've decided. But, Limo, will this affect your political career?"
"No worries. With the influential families making a breakthrough, it'll be easier for me to strike as well. We have conclusive evidence against the Jia family and nobody in Ning An City would dare to criticize this matter."
"Everyone out there is saying that you indulge in me."
"You're my wife. Who else should I pamper, if not you? Just enjoy your meal!" Before meeting her, he had been used to being alone. It was only after meeting her that he realized that he could grow accustomed to spoiling someone. Moreover, he enjoyed doing so and would never get tired of it.
Yun Bixue's heart felt warm. He could so easily touch her heart.
This time, Yun Bixue ate more. On the pretext that she might have indigestion, Xie Limo brought her out for a stroll. The couple walked hand-in-hand around the villa's neighborhood. It was peaceful, and a warm atmosphere surrounded them.
Yun Bixue inhaled lightly and walked slowly, relaxing her entire body. "Limo, I used to imagine that one day, I would hold the hand of my loved one as we strolled together. I won't request for wealth, only happiness. It would be enough with just the two of us, and now, you're the one who's given me such a life."
