Reborn and fleeing for his life, he unexpectedly knocks on the door of the prince of Beijing's

Xi Maokun chuckled lightly.

"It's a small matter. When we went to your Su family's house, didn't we smash it up?"

Xia Yi chuckled, "It's just a temper tantrum. He's been domineering since he was a child. After being raised by his great-grandmother for a few years, he's become even more uncontrollable."

Aged white tea was brewing in the kettle, and a faint aroma of tea wafted out with each opening and closing of the kettle lid.

"Ms. Xia seems to be in a good mood. Did you see Gong Xiaochen today?" Xi Maokun asked.

"No, Beijing is his territory. If he doesn't want to see me, he has many ways to refuse me."

Xi Maokun took out a Jianzhan teacup and poured a pale golden tea for Xia Yi.

Xia Yi took a sip. "But he should be coming to see me in the next couple of days."

Xi Maokun raised an eyebrow. "Any progress?"

"I guess so. I just went to see his girlfriend, whom he's madly in love with."

Xi Maokun paused in his hand holding the kettle, and sneered, "Wen Shengsheng, she's no pushover."

"No, she's quite simple-minded. You men just don't understand what women care about, that's why you find her difficult."

Xi Maokun squinted, looking like a cunning old fox.

"No matter how difficult she is, she is no match for Ms. Xia. Otherwise, when our Xi family approached the Su family, Su Jingfu would not have entrusted such an important cooperation to Ms. Xia."

"Grandpa thinks too highly of me. What can a woman like me know? I just know how to deal with them because I gave birth to Gong Xiaochen and understand the Gong family a little."

"They say even tigers don't eat their cubs, but now they're going to deal with Ms. Xia's own son. You won't go soft-hearted in the end, will you?" Xi Maokun still didn't quite trust her.

“I only have two sons, one named Su Rui and the other named Su Yun. As for Gong Xiaochen, he is Gong Zhiyuan’s son and Gong Tianzong’s grandson, but he is not my son, Xia Yi’s son.”

Xia Yi lit a cigarette. "Of course, if you have to say what our relationship is, then he's the one I carried for ten months and gave birth to."

"Heh~" Xi Maokun laughed, "Sure enough, when women get ruthless, even men can't compare."

Xi Maokun had heard a bit about Xia Yi and Gong Zhiyuan's affair back then. It was a love triangle that caused quite a stir, and the three powerful families of Gong, Su, and Xia almost came to blows.

In the end, it was Gong Zhiyuan who announced the end of his marriage with Xia Yi and that he would raise Gong Xiaochen independently, which brought this farce to an end.

However, because of this incident, Xia Yi was expelled from the Xia family, and the Su family and the Gong family became enemies.

With the death of Gong Tianzong, the hatred continued into the generation of Gong Xiaochen and his family.

Most members of the Gong family are calm and reserved; no matter how much they hate someone, they will remain outwardly expressionless.

But Gong Xiaochen was different from them. He was like a knife, exuding a sharp and ruthless aura. From the moment he founded Qingshan Capital, he began to gradually devour the Su family, determined to avenge Gong Tianzong.

Their conflict reached its peak with the appearance of Wen Shengsheng.

The cause was Su Rui.

He had been fighting with Gong Xiaochen for many years, but it was all just minor skirmishes until he made a move against Wen Shengsheng. Gong Xiaochen then became ruthless and sent him straight to meet the King of Hell.

Although Gong Xiaochen said he wasn't dead, many people speculated that Su Rui had already died...

The loss of a son threw the entire Su family into chaos.

Xi Maokun took advantage of this opportunity to get in touch with the Su family and establish a cooperation with them.

"Don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering. Old man, there's no need to mock me." Xia Yi flicked her cigarette ash.

"My goal is to find Arui. What about you? You approached our Su family and provided us with all sorts of intelligence and connections in Beijing, but you never mentioned your purpose. It can't be that you're just doing this out of kindness, can it?"

“Businessmen love profit, and I just want more profit too,” Xi Maokun said.

"Stop lying like that. Wen Shengsheng is your adopted daughter. If it were really for the sake of profit, you should hold onto Xiao Chen tightly and make them get married. That way, Qingshan Capital could become the source of wealth behind your Xi family, allowing you to sit in a high position that no one can shake."

"Given Gong Xiaochen's personality, who do you think can control him at will?" Xi Maokun took a sip of tea and looked at the city in the distance. "He is a knife, and a knife should be used to expand territory and protect the country, not to be worn as an ornament."

"Then the old man should use it carefully, lest he end up hurting himself," Xia Yi kindly advised.

"You don't need to worry about that. We'll just stick to the original plan, each achieving our goals and getting a share of the pie from Qingshan Capital. They're still young; their cunning and methods are a bit too immature..."

"Hmm." Xia Yi nodded. "How's it going with Grandpa?"

"It's going relatively smoothly. My second brother has already started taking action. He won't let Gong Xiaochen take Qianxi so easily."

"Alright, I'll also add fuel to the fire with the Gong family, instigating them to target Wen Shengsheng, so that Gong Xiaochen's backyard will be on fire and he'll be thrown into chaos."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mrs. Su." Xi Maokun smiled slightly, but the smile was like a mask on his face, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

After chatting for a while, Xia Yi left first.

Xi Maokun called Xi Ming over.

"Throw away all the teacups and chairs that woman used!" he said with disgust.

Xi Ming immediately called for people to take those things away.

"Sir, is there something wrong with her? I don't think you trust her very much."

"A woman who shows no regard for her own son, what makes her trustworthy?"

“Indeed…he seems to really hate Gong Xiaochen,” Xi Ming agreed.

"She doesn't hate Gong Xiaochen; she hates the Gong family. Destroying Gong Xiaochen is her way of getting revenge on the Gong family..."

Xi Ming was stunned and dared not speak again.

*

Gong Xiaochen forbade her from interfering in Xia Yi's affairs anymore.

Gong Xiaochen also said he would handle the Qianxi Hotel matter himself.

Wen Shengsheng knew that with her current abilities, she couldn't help Gong Xiaochen with either of these matters.

So I didn't say anything more.

Back at the project site, despite the curious and excited looks from her colleagues, she persisted in working until the end of the workday.

Just before leaving get off work.

Knock knock...

Bavin tapped on the partition between the two desks.

"Want to go out for a drink tonight?"

Wen Shengsheng hesitated for a second, then nodded.

Gong Xiaochen was going out that night, so she asked Du Yuan to drive her home.

However, Wen Shengsheng didn't want Gong Xiaochen to know that she was going out for drinks, so she refused.

The place where their project team colleagues often gathered was called Hongxiu.

It's a quiet bar.

Wen Shengsheng was in a bad mood all day after meeting Xia Yi, and she really needed to have a drink.

Although Bawen always seems unreliable, he is actually very down-to-earth in his dealings with others.

He was several years older than Wen Shengsheng, and as they drank, he comforted her.

Once she got drunk, Wen Shengsheng felt lightheaded and quite comfortable.

Ba Wen called a designated driver to take Wen Shengsheng home.

However, since it wasn't on her way, Wen Shengsheng refused.

She called a car on her phone and stood drunkenly by the roadside waiting for it.

A cool night breeze was blowing.

She didn't know how long she had been waiting, but she idly stepped on the fallen leaves by the roadside.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a car engine.

A gray car was seen speeding down the road.

speedy.

Wen Shengsheng was standing a little close to the roadside and was just about to take a few steps back when several drunk young people suddenly walked up behind her.

They were playing around at the intersection when a young boy, trying to avoid his companions, bumped into Wen Shengsheng's back.

He was very strong.

Wen Shengsheng rushed out almost uncontrollably.

Fortunately, she had drunk a bit too much that night, and her legs were already a little weak. She couldn't rush out and stumbled and fell to the ground.

At the same time, the car speeding along the road almost brushed past her face.

A strong gust of air slapped against my cheeks, my hair flew wildly, and my cheeks stung.

Wen Shengsheng sobered up instantly!
