CHAPTER 82: CHAPTER 77 XIA GROUP

Arrogance, Xia Xue’s father developed such a mindset, but it’s unclear whether the other party truly has the capital for such arrogance. Ten billion USD is not a small sum anywhere. This guy who appears to be just in his twenties, how much arrogant capital does he really have? Xia Xue’s father couldn’t see through it for a moment.

"Boss, do you want us to teach him a lesson?" Hearing Xiao Lin’s words, the two bodyguards felt a bit embarrassed.

Xia Xue’s father glanced at them blandly and said, "Go on, I don’t oppose it!" Then he closed the car door, gave the driver up front a command, and left without waiting for the two bodyguards to get in.

The two bodyguards looked at each other in shock; they didn’t expect Xia Xue’s father to be so straightforward, leaving them here just like that. Meanwhile, upon seeing Xia Xue’s father’s car drive off, the two bodyguards stood there with embarrassed and somewhat angry expressions, making Xiao Lin all the more aware that Xia Xue’s father’s current situation was not that optimistic.

"Brother, should we call Second Uncle?"

"Are we going too far here? Xia Yusheng is taking advantage of Xia Xue and Young Master Wang’s marriage to go wild!" The bodyguard called ’brother’ frowned and said, although Xia Yusheng had long known the two of them were Second Uncle’s informants beside him, things had always been peaceful, and they had protected Xia Yusheng a few times. But today, their behavior was far from professional for bodyguards.

"Bro, should we still teach that guy a lesson? If he and Xia Xue become a couple, then Second Uncle’s plan would go down the drain."

"The call should be made, but teaching that person a lesson, maybe we should drop it. Considering Xia Yusheng’s cunning, if that young man has no capability, he definitely wouldn’t say such things or do such things. I’m afraid Xia Yusheng is looking to make us offend that young man. This matter needs to be properly reported to Second Uncle, but I need to think about how to report it!" This bodyguard was indeed a thoughtful person. If he just reported it as is, he might not avoid being reprimanded by the master.

Then, after the two discussed for a while, this bodyguard started the call. Once connected, his tone was more respectful than when speaking with Xia Yusheng: "Second Uncle, just now Master came over to see that young man renting with Xia Xue. They didn’t seem to get along; that young man was quite arrogant, said Xia Family needs to make a promise to fulfill his words. We taught that guy a lesson earlier, but he handled himself well; we didn’t gain much advantage."

On the other side, Xia Family’s Second Uncle was scrutinizing the events that happened, holding a bit of skepticism about the bodyguards’ stories. Based on the intel from Fatty Wang, his two bodyguards couldn’t even withstand one move, let alone those around Xia Yusheng? However, Xia Family’s Second Uncle didn’t point this out; sometimes, exaggeration by the subordinates has its merits.

"Where’s Master now?" Xia Family’s Second Uncle immediately asked after the bodyguards finished seeking approval.

"Master... Master told us to teach that guy a lesson and left first!" This bodyguard knew the worst question to answer was Xia Yusheng’s reaction, which Xia Family’s Second Uncle cared most about. Concerning this, the bodyguard dared not conceal anything.

"I see!" Xia Family’s Second Uncle didn’t get angry or reprimand the two bodyguards. He knew his elder brother would retaliate sooner or later, just didn’t expect the retaliation point would be at this moment.

After hanging up the phone, the two bodyguards still felt as if they were in a dream. They didn’t expect Second Uncle not to scold them. As the elder brother hung up the phone, stunned at the spot, the younger brother spoke up: "Brother, what did Second Uncle say?"

"Second Uncle didn’t say anything. Even when Master left us alone, he didn’t get mad. What kind of situation is this?" For a moment, these two bodyguards were utterly confused.

Xiao Lin returned to the dormitory building, sat in his QQ car, thought for a while, then started the car while pulling out his phone to dial Hua Qingyi’s number.

Regarding the Xia family’s business, Xiao Lin had no way to understand, but based on Xia Xue’s reaction to lifetime affairs and today’s conversation between Xia Xue’s father and himself, ultimately, Xia Xue’s father made a clear implication, leaving those somewhat disloyal bodyguards and driving off. Xiao Lin felt a bit enlightened.

From today’s final reaction of Xia Yusheng, Xia Yusheng inwardly didn’t want to use his daughter Xia Xue to exchange for the Xia family’s development, but as the current Family Head of the Xia Family, Xia Yusheng had the responsibility to help the Xia family’s development, and Xia Yusheng wasn’t in control of all the power within the Xia family. The internal struggle in the Xia family was quite intense, and the forces opposing Xia Yusheng might have relied on the Wang family’s power, striving hard to promote a marriage alliance between the Wang Family and the Xia Family.

Logically speaking, since the Xia Family and Wang Family are in a marriage alliance, the bride is Xia Xue, Xia Yusheng’s daughter, the Wang Family should be closer to Xia Yusheng’s branch. This was also what Xiao Lin couldn’t figure out.

Originally, Xiao Lin wanted to go upstairs and ask Xia Xue directly but considering he had more important matters to attend to, he decided to call Hua Qingyi first to understand the Xia Family situation. At least Hua Qingyi was the prince of Yanjing, and the Xia Family was no unknown entity; he should understand somewhat.

Xiao Lin slowly drove his QQ car along the campus paths, and only after nearly a minute did the phone connect. Once it connected, Hua Qingyi’s recently awake voice came through: "Boss, what’s the matter so early this morning?"

Hearing this lazy voice, Xiao Lin couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed: "Eldest Young Master Hua’s life is getting more comfortable, huh? It’s almost noon, and you still call it early morning. Seems Eldest Young Master Hua is thoroughly indulged!"

"Hehe, well, Boss, I know I was wrong, but what can I do for you? Just say it!" Hua Qingyi immediately adjusted his attitude upon sensing Xiao Lin’s displeased tone; getting Xiao Lin upset would make future days quite difficult.

"Ah, Xiao Yi, what can I say, although Dragon Soul expelled you, I’ve always considered you one of them. I hope even having left Dragon Soul, you still uphold Dragon Soul’s fine qualities. Your daily indulgence is not good!" Sometimes, as buddies, Xiao Lin needed to talk to Hua Qingyi, for Hua Qingyi’s actions were a bit too careless.

"Yes, yes, I know, brother. Just tell me, what’s up!" Hua Qingyi’s voice became much louder.

"Help me check on the Xia Family’s situation!" Xiao Lin moderately concluded his words; whether or not Hua Qingyi listens, Xiao Lin wouldn’t keep nagging him, insisting on doing things as he wanted—that would be unrealistic.
