After five years on the run, she returns with two cute babies
Chapter 673: Waiting for someone
Xiao Jincheng hadn't been feeling well recently, and he always fell asleep while lying in bed. However, today, he got up and leaned against the bed. It wasn't because he couldn't sleep, but because he was waiting for someone.
"Knock knock knock."
After knocking three times on the door, Xiao Jincheng put down the newspaper in his hand. He didn't pay attention to what the news was, he just wanted to kill time, "Come in."
Xiao Mingyang pushed open the door and walked in, and saw Xiao Jincheng at a glance. His face seemed worse than the previous two days.
Compared to the heartbreak he felt at the beginning, Xiao Mingyang was much calmer now. This man was just trying to make it difficult for him to be ruthless, and he couldn't have any other ideas, so he had already thought it was normal.
"Ming Yang, I heard from the housekeeper that you have something to talk to me about."
Xiao Jincheng was indeed not that simple. As soon as Xiao Mingyang came in, Xiao Jincheng already knew his purpose.
"That's right. This time, a batch of our goods was intercepted by the Italian mafia. I'm thinking about whether I should find a way to get it back."
Xiao Mingyang was not really concerned about the Xiao family's business, but this was a trap he had designed. If Xiao Jincheng could agree, he would be able to find a way to escape from this cage.
"I support what they said, but now is not the time."
Xiao Jincheng coughed, but his mood was still not calmed down. It was really not a good sign that Xiao Mingyang was so concerned about this batch of goods. He could only rely on such means to calm the anger in his heart a little.
"So are we just going to let it go? You know, the profits from that batch of goods were quite high. We knew at the time that many people were coveting them. Now that they've all been intercepted, are you really not going to care at all?"
Xiao Mingyang didn't really care about the whereabouts of the goods, but in the current situation, he could only win Xiao Jincheng's trust in this way. Only if he truly trusted him would he really let him take over the entire Xiao family, instead of becoming a puppet like he is now.
Xiao Jincheng looked at Xiao Mingyang, as if he could see through him, "Mingyang, you seem to be very concerned about the Xiao family's batch of goods?"
"Of course, I am the blood of the Xiao family. If I don't care about this kind of thing, then who else would care?"
If Xiao Mingyang had said this to someone else, they would have been deeply moved. However, only Xiao Jincheng understood that Xiao Mingyang was not simply thinking about the Xiao family. If he was careless, perhaps Xiao Jincheng could still believe that he was adapting, but he was so active in making suggestions for the Xiao family that people could not help but doubt his motives.
However, Xiao Jincheng did not directly refute Xiao Mingyang. He just looked at him and said, "I have already contacted someone to do this. We have always had economic exchanges with Italy. If we fight the mafia for this batch of goods, it will not bring us any long-term benefits."
What Xiao Jincheng said might make sense, but Xiao Mingyang cared about more than just this batch of goods.
"If we were to deal with these people in the white way, I think we would be trampled on for the rest of our lives. The Xiao family is so powerful in Europe that I'm afraid no one dares to say no. If the entire Xiao family is disgraced because of the mafia, this would be the root of the problem."
Every word of Xiao Mingyang touched Xiao Jincheng's heart. He had been working hard for the Xiao family all along, a mission that had been destined since he was born. If it weren't for Xiao Mingyang's father's escape, the Xiao family would have been handed over to him long ago. But now he could only watch Xiao Mingyang's wolfish ambition. Ambitious people are the true bloodline of the Xiao family. Xiao Jincheng was not afraid of Xiao Mingyang's ambition, but was worried that his ambition would directly affect the operation of the entire Xiao family. This was what Xiao Jincheng was most worried about.
"Ming Yang, I know what you're worried about, but some things can't be explained clearly in just a few words."
Xiao Jincheng spoke calmly, his fingers slightly raised. "Help me up."
He had been lying in bed for a long time and had never gotten out of bed to walk around. Now that Xiao Mingyang was finally by his side, he might think about helping Xiao Mingyang work more seriously for the Xiao family.
"Ming Yang, you don't have to worry about this matter. I will personally ask someone to follow up. But there is another matter that I want to ask you."
Xiao Mingyang had originally been focused on this matter, but now Xiao Jincheng was deliberately involving him in other matters. In short, Xiao Mingyang felt very unhappy, but he couldn't get angry, so he lowered his voice and asked, "What's the matter?"
"What's going on between you and Lilith?"
Xiao Jincheng suddenly asked this question, which caught Xiao Mingyang off guard.
"Me and her?"
Xiao Mingyang felt sick when he thought of Lilith's face. A woman who throws herself at him like this was really disgusting. If it were in the past, it might have been possible, because she was just a woman anyway. But now he already had Lin Yuqing by his side, and he would never fall in love with any other woman in his life, let alone touch them. Xiao Mingyang would not be interested in any other woman except Lin Yuqing.
"Yes, Lilith seems to be in a bad mood recently. I think it has something to do with you."
Lilith has been with Xiao Jincheng since she was a child. Xiao Jincheng knows what she is thinking better than she does. This time, because of Xiao Mingyang, it is not the first time that he has seen her with such a sad expression. It seems that she is so sad because of Xiao Mingyang.
"Ming Yang, tell me honestly, are you still thinking about that woman Lin Yuqing?!"
Xiao Mingyang's voice was stuck. He had only been thinking about Lin Yuqing. If Xiao Jincheng had not threatened him with Lin Yuqing's life, he would not have been forced to stay with this man for so long.
"No."
He deceived his own heart, but more importantly, he deceived the man in front of him.
"No?"
Xiao Jincheng laughed, "Mingyang, do you really think I'm a fool? Don't I know what kind of person you are? If it weren't for Lin Yuqing, how could you be so obedient?"
Xiao Mingyang sneered in his heart. Since this man knew this would be the result, he shouldn't have asked him. He never wanted the Xiao family's property. He just wanted to return to his country, to be with the person he loved, and live happily for the rest of his life. But because of the appearance of Xiao Jincheng, all of this was broken. Now he can still say such words so righteously.
