“Thank you, Second Young Master and Miss Liao, ” the butler expressed his gratitude before taking a sip of the eight- treasure porridge. His eyes widened in appreciation. “Miss Liao’s culinary skills are truly exceptional!”

Liao Ning smiled in response. “As long as it pleases Uncle Li’s palate.”

After Liao Nai finished his bowl of eight-treasure porridge, Liao Ning escorted him to aid in digestion and then brought him back to his room for rest.

The following day, Liao Ning woke up early and spent some time with Liao Nai at the racecourse. By two o’clock in the afternoon, she left the house and arrived at the Mingxing Coffee House, the venue specified by Lin Wan, promptly at three o’clock.

This time, she didn’t bring Liao Nai along, concerned about his well-being. Hence, she declined Zhou Ling’s offer to accompany her and arrived at the agreed location alone.

When Liao Ning entered the coffee house, she noticed only one elegantly dressed woman present. She surmised that this woman must be Lin Wan.

At the same time, Lin Wan also caught sight of Liao Ning and observed her until she took a seat in front of her.

Lin Wan carefully examined the young and unexpected woman before her. Her long, snow-white hair cascaded casually, and her navy blue eyes seemed capable of peering into one’s soul.

Lin Wan’s lips, adorned with red lipstick, curved into a playful smile as she greeted Liao Ning. “I’ve heard so much about you, Miss Liao.”

“Hello, Miss Lin,” Liao Ning replied with a smile. Meeting her in person confirmed Liao Ning’s belief that this woman truly intended to oust her husband, Wei Nan.

This time, Lin Wan was resolute in assisting her son’s ascension. She had relinquished her love for Wei Nan and embraced her former identity as the eldest daughter of the Lin family, once a dominant force in the business world, rather than the gentle Madame of the Wei family.

Liao Ning wasn’t one to beat around the bush. She addressed Lin Wan directly. “Please tell me, what is the deal?”

Lin Wan smiled with satisfaction, appreciating Liao Ning’s straightforward approach. “I will help you eliminate Wei Nan. Furthermore, when my son, Wei Xuan, assumes leadership of the Wei family, I will ensure he relinquishes the exclusive production rights of the mental strength potion and hands over the formula to the alliance.”

Liao Nings gaze turned icy as she locked eyes with Lin Wan’s beautiful face. “This is a significant undertaking. How can I assist you? Or rather, what do you desire from me?”

“I appreciate intelligent individuals like you,” Lin Wan expressed her satisfaction with Liao Ning. “I want all the evidence you possess regarding the crimes committed by the Wei family.”

Liao Ning smiled and spoke frankly, “Miss Lin, don’t be too greedy.”

“Can’t you bear to part with it?” Lin Wan felt a tinge of unhappiness. She had already helped Liao Ning dismantle the Wei family’s support industry, yet Liao Ning couldn’t even spare her some minor information.

“It’s not that I can’t bear to, but this evidence implicates not only the Wei family but also the Wang family. If you truly desire this information… it’s not impossible, but you must be prepared to become enemies with the Wang family.”

Lin Wan’s expression momentarily faltered. She hadn’t anticipated such a deep connection between the Wei and Wang families. She had initially believed that the Wei family’s relationship with the Wang family was merely superficial due to Wei Nan’s second sister. It couldn’t compare to the profound bond shared by the Lin family and the Wei family.

Lin Wan clenched her teeth but couldn’t muster the courage to risk offending both the Wei and Wang families simultaneously. “Then what do you want? I can’t assist you in toppling Wei Nan for nothing.”

“Miss Lin, you must be joking. I never aimed to bring down the head of the Wei family,” Liao Ning smiled wickedly and spoke nonchalantly, “From the very beginning, my goal was to shatter the Wei family’s high status and ensure they can never recover.”

Lin Wan held her breath, her eyes widening. She stared at the audacious young woman before her and uttered in a trembling voice, “How arrogant of you. The Wei family is one of the five great families of the alliance. You can’t simply destroy them as you please!”

Liao Ning chuckled. “Then, Miss Lin, what are you afraid of?”

Was she afraid?

Lin Wan pondered the question. Liao Ning was right. She was indeed afraid. She couldn’t pinpoint the exact reason for her fear, but when she met Liao Ning’s gaze, she instinctively envisioned the Wei family’s downfall.

Lin Wan took a deep breath, regaining her composure. “I cannot stand idly by and witness the destruction of the Wei family.”

“What can you offer, then?” Liao Ning inquired, a smile playing on her lips.

Indeed, what could she bring to the table?

“I have nothing to offer,” Lin Wan admitted, her spirits deflating. “I underestimated you. I apologize for my impulsive actions..”
