CHAPTER 802: CHAPTER 802

After the Mo Family’s banquet ended, the guests gradually left.

Qi Tianlin drove back to Hai City with his daughter Qi Yujiao sitting beside him.

The affairs of the Mo Family had always weighed heavily on Qi Tianlin’s mind.

After expending so much effort to ruin Mo Hongyan, hoping to divide the Mo Family and clear the obstacles for the Qi Family’s rise, he ended up with such a result. He was unwilling, very unwilling.

Under Qi Tianlin’s leadership, the Qi Family had grown increasingly powerful, already becoming the overlord of Hai City, the absolutely top family there; no one dared to underestimate him or the Qi Family’s presence.

However, the Qi Family’s development in Hai City had reached its limit, already hitting a bottleneck, necessitating an expansion outside to explore broader horizons.

Several attempts had been made, but all ended in failure.

Not for any other reason but the resistance from old-established powers across Wangdong Province and the restrictions from the top clan, the Mo Family.

The Mo Family was the premier aristocratic family in Wangdong Province, extremely powerful, and in order to ensure their provincial standing, they strongly limited the development of other city’s elite families, absolutely forbidding them from overreaching.

Families like the Qi Family, who dominated a city and sought to expand outside, were not unique, yet all failed at the hands of the Mo Family.

Under such circumstances, the Mo Family was the greatest enemy of the Qi Family.

The plan was to incite internal strife within the Mo Family and take advantage of it to topple them, but sadly, the schemes all fell through.

Infuriating!

At the thought of Mo Hongyan’s smug face at the banquet earlier, Qi Tianlin was enraged, wishing he could just slice her down.

For now, the situation called for temporary tolerance, with an urgent need to lie low and find another opportunity to bring down the Mo Family.

Suddenly, Qi Tianlin noticed something amiss; his precious daughter Qi Yujiao was staring out the window absentmindedly, "Jiaojiao, what’s wrong? Why have you been so distracted lately, not just today but for the past few days? Did something happen?"

"No, nothing’s happened, Dad, you’re overthinking it."

Qi Yujiao quickly explained, as she couldn’t speak about her constant thoughts of that repugnant man over the past few days.

Damn it, why did she have to run into that bastard by pure chance.

If she had known, she wouldn’t have put her artwork out for exhibition, nor would the incidents that followed occur.

Regret was futile as it was too late, the events had transpired and there was no going back; she couldn’t help but think about that repulsive man every day.

Qi Tianlin wouldn’t believe Qi Yujiao’s words; he was shrewd and fully aware that his daughter had issues, "Jiaojiao, you aren’t perhaps in love with some rascal, are you?"

Qi Yujiao promptly replied, "No, I haven’t fallen for any man, there’s nothing like that. Dad, you’re really overthinking it, I’m just contemplating my paintings. I just feel that my painting hasn’t been in the right state lately, so I’ve been zoning out, where did your thoughts go? How did you think I wanted to fall in love, seriously."

Qi Tianlin smiled faintly, ruffling Qi Yujiao’s hair, "As long as you haven’t fallen for any rascal. After all, you’re my daughter, Qi Tianlin’s daughter, you absolutely cannot marry just any man. The one you marry must be exceptional. Have you considered about the second young master of the Long Family that I mentioned before?"

"The second young master of the Long Family?"

At the mention of that guy, Qi Yujiao couldn’t suppress her deep disgust and quickly shook her head, "Dad, give me a break. I’m not interested in that kind of guy. Who in Wangdong Province doesn’t know he’s a scoundrel, less worthy than a dog; I don’t want to marry him at all. Besides, I heard he offended someone powerful recently and was severely beaten up, practically ruined, turned into a eunuch. Dad, I absolutely refuse to marry him. If you really force me to marry him, I’d rather die by bashing my head..."

The second young master of the Long Family, Long Kui, was infamously notorious across Wangdong Province.

That guy never did any good deeds, committing extreme misdeeds.

From swindling and abducting to murder and arson, he literally perpetrated every conceivable crime.

Not to mention, every year, there were dozens of women he victimized who couldn’t take it and decided to end their lives, showcasing how shameless he was.

Even if she, Qi Yujiao, were blind, she wouldn’t want to marry him.

If her father truly forced her to marry Long Kui, she would rather die!

Qi Tianlin chuckled and shook his head, "You, you, don’t want to marry this one, don’t want to marry that one, so who do you want to marry? It can’t be that you want to go to Beijing and marry the Young Master Xu? How about I send you to Beijing, perhaps you’ll catch the Xu Family’s eye. My daughter may not be as famous as Wangdong Province’s acknowledged beauty Mo Yudie, but in beauty, you definitely don’t lose to her, if you can go to Beijing, you’ll surely become the Young Madam of the Xu Family. Then, we, the Qi Family, wouldn’t need to bother with the Mo Family’s attitude."

The Mo Family may have a good daughter in Mo Yudie, but doesn’t Qi Tianlin also have a remarkable daughter? A veritable fairy, a top-tier beauty.

If such a woman could marry into the Xu Family, making the Qi Family and the Xu Family in-laws, the benefits it could bring, Qi Tianlin didn’t even dare to dream of.

If it really came true, not only wouldn’t the Qi Family need to mind the Mo Family’s attitude, but they could quickly step over the Mo Family!

By then, the Mo Family would be within the Qi Family’s grasp, and women like sensational beauty Mo Hongyan and peerless beauty Mo Yudie would merely become Qi Tianlin’s playthings.

Hehehe, at that time he planned to savor the distinguished beauties of Wangdong Province thoroughly.

Especially Mo Hongyan whom he had coveted for a long, long time, it was only a matter of time before he stripped off Mo Hongyan’s clothes and pressed her down on the bed for a thorough ravishment!

Thinking about how he could soon obtain Mo Hongyan, Qi Tianlin grew excited, disgracefully responsive, his whole body heating up, blood surging, itching to find a woman for release.

While in the throes of impulse, Qi Tianlin cast his gaze toward Qi Yujiao.

His own daughter was indeed so beautiful, blooming even more vibrantly than a flower, utterly stunning.

What made it even better was that she wasn’t his biological daughter, the two did not share even the slightest kinship.

Back in the day, Qi Tianlin was merely a dog raised by the Xiao Family, who by betraying his master and leading a group of thugs to massacre the Xiao Family, seized more than half of their wealth.

Qi Yujiao was the final orphan of the Xiao Family, whom he had adopted in the guise of a daughter, now already grown up.

Over the years, the more Qi Tianlin looked at Qi Yujiao, the more his heart itched.

This Xiao Family’s bastard had grown into a young lady, blossoming like a flower, entirely ripe for plucking.

The more he gazed, the more tempted Qi Tianlin grew, such a delicate beauty surely needed to be tasted before being given away; it wouldn’t be fitting if his twenty-year investment went to waste.

The only question was how to proceed; he couldn’t just outright force her against her will.

That wasn’t feasible, after all, he still hoped to marry her into a wealthy family, to provide him and the Qi Family with strong support, helping them climb to greater heights.

It seemed he needed to carefully devise a plan, gaining her while ensuring she held no grudge against him.
