After five years on the run, she returns with two cute babies

"I don't think you understand what I mean," Da Zhong explained seriously, "Yuqing is anxious because of Xuan'er. But with Kaifeng by her side, is there any problem that can't be solved? Bringing Xuan'er back home is a matter of time, so why bother yourself with unnecessary worries and make yourself unhappy? Isn't it better to just wait patiently?"

Da Zhong's words left Lilith feeling awful. She'd endured so much hardship to get to where she was today. But that scoundrel hadn't done anything, and yet someone had given up everything for her. Why?!

Da Zhong had been carefully observing Lilith's reaction. He saw murderous intent in her eyes and a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.

Da Zhong held his arms high and coughed twice, interrupting Lilith's fantasies. He said, "Actually, I didn't have anything to ask you today. It's just that you didn't take the initiative to come to me, so I took the risk of meeting you. You can't hide from me anymore if you have any problems in the future. Otherwise, I don't know how I can make you submit!"

Lilith looked up, staring coldly at the clock and asked, "Are you trying to scare me?"

"Wrong, I'm just warning you!" Da Zhong suddenly leaned forward, pointed at Lilith's face, and said, "Eat less nonsense when you have nothing to do. Look at your face, it's ugly."

Lilith was afraid that Da Zhong would notice something, so she took two steps back and warned, "None of your business is my business!"

"I don't want to worry about you, but you have no self-control and are addicted to drugs. If you don't find a solution, you will be ruined!"

Lilith was horrified. She glared at Da Zhong fiercely and warned, "If I find out you're talking nonsense, I will definitely kill you!"

After saying that, Lilith turned and left. She was worried that if she continued to pester him, she would reveal more.

But Da Zhong didn't seem to mind at all whether his identity would be exposed. He looked at Lilith's back and suddenly shouted, "If you really can't stand it, you can come to me. I can help you!"

Oh my god, this idiot, does he want everyone to know about their relationship?

When the people around heard Da Zhong's loud shout, they seemed to misunderstand the relationship between the two and cast ambiguous glances at them.

Who was Lilith? If she were misunderstood, she'd wield her pistol and start shooting everyone! But now, she walked silently, head bowed, confirming everyone's suspicions.

Although Xiao Mingyang is now a disabled person, he is also Lilith's husband. Openly flirting with other men will definitely damage Lilith's reputation.

Once the rumor spread, it spread at an extremely fast speed. It would probably reach Xiao Jincheng's ears in no time.

Lilith thought Xiao Jincheng would definitely talk to her and give her a warning, but Xiao Jincheng didn't respond at all, and even when they met, he avoided talking about the matter.

This result shocked Lilith. She didn't know if Xiao Jincheng hadn't heard the rumors or if he had other plans. But she couldn't bring herself to mention it, as if she felt guilty.

With her brows slightly furrowed, Lilith stared at the ground in a daze, as if she could get the answer from there.

"Lilith?"

After shouting, Xiao Jincheng raised his voice when he saw that Lilith didn't respond.

"Lilith?"

Suddenly coming back to her senses, Lilith looked at Xiao Jincheng, her face turned pale, she lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, Grandpa, I was just distracted."

Xiao Jincheng didn't get angry. Instead, he closed the contract in front of him and looked at Lilith with an unclear expression, asking, "What are you thinking about? Why are you so focused?"

"I..." Lilith moved her lips, pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and decided to take an unconventional approach. She said, "There have been some bad rumors lately, which have disturbed me. That's why I was distracted just now."

Hearing this, Xiao Jincheng looked at Lilith seriously and said, "You used to not care about what others said."

"Things are different now. Lilith is about to take over the Xiao family. We must always pay attention to our own moral conduct and not bring shame to the family!"

Nodding with satisfaction, Xiao Jincheng smiled and said, "It seems that my Lilith has finally grown up! I'm very pleased that you think so. But you have to know that rumors will always be around. Whether you listen to them or not is entirely up to you."

Lilith lowered her head and said, "Lilith understands. I won't let irrelevant words disturb my mind anymore!"

Hearing this, Xiao Jincheng smiled, opened the contract, pushed it in front of Lilith, and said, "Since you already know what to do, don't waste time on irrelevant things. Take a look at this contract and see if there are any problems."

Seeing that Xiao Jincheng changed the subject, Lilith had no choice but to take the contract and glanced at it absentmindedly.

But just a casual glance made Lilith's eyes open wider and wider.

Seeing Lilith's face full of shock, Xiao Jincheng smiled and said, "How is it? Do you think there is any problem?"

"Grandpa, this is a losing proposition. Why would we take over a company like this?" Lilith said in disbelief, carefully flipping through the contract. "It's been losing money for five consecutive years, and its reputation in the industry isn't good. The initial investment would be astronomical, and there's no guarantee this company can recover. Grandpa, this is a bottomless pit. Why would we acquire this pharmaceutical company?"

Xiao Jincheng smiled mysteriously and said, "Because it has a pharmaceutical license, it can legitimately prepare pharmaceutical preparations."

Why is Xiao Jincheng suddenly interested in medicine? I've never heard of him having any plans in this field before!

Lilith looked at Xiao Jincheng suspiciously and asked uncertainly, "Grandpa, are you going into the medical field?"

Folding his hands in front of him, Xiao Jincheng didn't answer Lilith's question. Instead, he sighed, "Business is getting harder and harder these days. If we don't think of a solution, the Xiao family will surely decline."

Lilith knew that the recent failure of their partnership with Chuck had been a major blow to the Xiao family. But Lilith couldn't understand why, if Xiao Jincheng valued the arms business so much, he wouldn't continue his partnership with Chuck. If he was worried about the risks, then wouldn't rushing into a new field now be a risky one as well? What on earth was Grandpa thinking?

Although she secretly resented Xiao Jincheng in her heart, Lilith still looked worried on the surface and said, "No matter what decision Grandpa makes, Lilith will support you. But Lilith doesn't understand why we should choose the pharmaceutical industry, which we have never been involved in, when there are so many other businesses?"

Pointing at the green hills outside the window, Xiao Jincheng asked instead, "The river flows down from the mountain. Do you prefer to easily catch water at the foot of the mountain, or would you rather open a new waterway at the top?"

Lilith frowned, not understanding how the two were related.
