Liu Wenzhuo immediately said to Ye Xiao: "Liu Shixun and his son are planning to make a move against me today."

Ye Xiao said: "Why are they suddenly targeting you?"

"It's not sudden. I believe they've been plotting for a long time. I'll be going to the Fu family today at noon on behalf of the Liu family to offer condolences, and Liu Shixun will take this opportunity to act against me."

Although there are many open and covert struggles among the eight major families in Bird City, since Fu Hongyi passed away, the other families will definitely pay their respects.

After all, as one of the eight major families, the strength of the Fu family is undeniable.

"That means they'll make their move after you leave the Fu family?" Ye Xiao said.

Liu Wenzhuo said: "It should be like this. It was arranged by Liu Wenjian and Liu Shixun."

"Even they are under your surveillance. It seems you've really put in a lot of effort in the Liu family." Ye Xiao said with a chuckle.

Liu Wenzhuo heard Ye Xiao's words, laughed awkwardly twice, then sighed and said: "As the current head of the Liu family, I've reached the point where I must eavesdrop on others' conversations to survive. It's really a huge irony, Ye Xiao, how do you plan to help me?"

"So, Fu Hongyi will be laid to rest today?" Ye Xiao asked.

Liu Wenzhuo said: "Yes."

"I'll go to the Fu family today and will keep an eye on your movements at all times." Ye Xiao said.

Listening to Ye Xiao's words, Liu Wenzhuo felt a bit more at ease, then said: "Ye Xiao, thank you so much."

"No need, we're merely engaged in a transaction."

Liu Wenzhuo, upon hearing this, again laughed awkwardly twice.

The call ended, and Ye Xiao started contemplating whether or not to visit Xia Mingyue today.

After thinking it over, Ye Xiao finally decided to call Xia Mingyue to ask for leave.

So, he directly called Xia Mingyue.

The call connected shortly after.

"What?" Xia Mingyue said sleepily over the phone.

Ye Xiao immediately laughed and said: "Ming Yue, it's time to get up for work."

"Are you crazy? What time is it?" Xia Mingyue snorted, then said: "Are you looking for me or Coco?"

"Coco is with you?" Ye Xiao immediately asked curiously.

Xia Mingyue also asked curiously: "Didn't you call me because you saw Coco's car?"

Ye Xiao, upon hearing Xia Mingyue's words, understood that Jiang Miaoke's car must be parked downstairs from Xia Mingyue's, and Xia Mingyue assumed he saw Jiang Miaoke's car.

But anyway, it seemed like an undeniable fact that Jiang Miaoke was with Xia Mingyue.

"It's just that I wanted to ask for leave." Ye Xiao said cheerfully.

"What?" Xia Mingyue exclaimed, then said: "Why are you asking for leave again? Do you know how difficult it is for the company with you constantly asking for leave?"

"Hehe, I know, today I really have something to do."

This time, Xia Mingyue seemed determined to get to the bottom of it and said to Ye Xiao: "Alright, if you really have something, tell me what it is."

"This..." Ye Xiao hesitated a bit, as he was going to the Fu family. Did he need to tell Xia Mingyue about this?

"He's definitely going to the Fu family." Suddenly, Jiang Miaoke's voice came from the phone.

Upon hearing Jiang Miaoke's voice, Xia Mingyue was surprised and then immediately said to Ye Xiao: "You're going to the Fu family? Weren't those two people from the Fu family killed by you? How dare you go?"

"Even you know about this?" Ye Xiao was suddenly full of surprise.

Xia Mingyue said: "Why wouldn't I know?"

"Coco definitely told you." Ye Xiao said.

"So what if she did? Coco is also going at noon." Xia Mingyue said.

Jiang Miaoke is going too?

That's right, Jiang Miaoke is from the Jiang family, she should go.

As Ye Xiao was pondering, suddenly, Jiang Miaoke's voice came from the phone, saying: "Ye Xiao, if you want to go to the Fu family, I can talk to my dad and have him take you, that way no one will dare do anything to you."

"Oh, I better not, I'm just going to look around, I don't want anyone to know." Ye Xiao said with a smile.

Ye Xiao naturally wasn't too enthusiastic about funerals. As for the reason for going, it was clearly because of Liu Wenzhuo, he wouldn't have gone unless he had promised Liu Wenzhuo. After all, where couldn't he enjoy himself, why go to a bereaved family?

"Are you nuts? They're in mourning and you want to wander around their yard?" Jiang Miaoke said: "Alright, let's not talk about anything else for now, go get me some millet porridge, I'm a bit hungry."

"Now?"

"Duh, did you forget your role?"

"What role?" Ye Xiao immediately said curiously.

"Boyfriend!" Jiang Miaoke said huffily.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot. Okay, I'll go now!" Ye Xiao said.

The call was quickly hung up.

However, Ye Xiao didn't immediately go to buy any millet porridge for Jiang Miaoke. Xia Mingyue was right; the Fu family isn't that easy to visit. Fu Donglai might not do anything to him, but that old man Fu Tianjue, who knows if he might lose his senses upon seeing him? So, Ye Xiao felt it was still safer to inform Wang Luoxin. After all, the Seven-colored Lamp can be very useful at many times.

Ten minutes later, Ye Xiao stood at Xia Mingyue's door and knocked.

It wasn't long before Jiang Miaoke's voice came from inside.

"Who is it?"

"Wifey, it's me. Open the door quickly, if the millet porridge gets cold, it's not good for the baby!" Ye Xiao shouted loudly at the security door.

Jiang Miaoke immediately opened the door and glared at Ye Xiao with a cold face, saying, "Are you sick, talking nonsense?"

Ye Xiao immediately chuckled and said, "I'm demonstrating what I'd be like with you ten years from now."

"Still with you in ten years? Your brain must be waterlogged." Jiang Miaoke said, and involuntarily shivered. Clearly, it was a bit chilly at the doorway, and although Jiang Miaoke was wearing a robe snugly wrapped around her, it didn't offer much warmth.

Get inside!

Ye Xiao grinned as he stared at Jiang Miaoke's robe, and said, "You know, that robe really doesn't suit you."

"How doesn't it suit me?" Jiang Miaoke immediately asked in confusion.

Ye Xiao said, "It definitely doesn't suit you; there's too much fabric, completely hiding your impressive figure. How about you take it off, and I help you evaluate it. I'm quite the professional in this."

"Go to hell, you!" Jiang Miaoke rolled her eyes at Ye Xiao and hurriedly ran into the bedroom.

Ye Xiao, satisfied, stayed in the dining room. He hadn't just bought millet porridge, but also some meat buns and scallion pancakes. After trying those scallion pancakes yesterday, he found them pretty good.

However, just as Ye Xiao was about to eat, the phone suddenly rang.

Ye Xiao took out his phone and glanced at it; the number had no note, but it was nonetheless familiar to Ye Xiao. At least, it wasn't unfamiliar now—it was the person who called him last night.

An Meihui!

Ye Xiao chuckled lightly, then promptly answered the call.

"Mr. Ye, I hope I'm not interrupting your sweet dreams." It was that An Meihui on the phone.

Ye Xiao said with a smile, "No, Miss An must have woken up very early."

"Sleeping early and rising early is good for health. Nowadays, wellness is all the rage." An Meihui said with a laugh.

Ye Xiao said, "Then it seems Miss An is looking for me for something specific."

"If Mr. Ye is free now, I would like to have a chat with Mr. Ye." An Meihui said.

Ye Xiao said, "Of course, I really enjoy chatting with beautiful women like you. It's always so pleasant."

"Mr. Ye, you are such a jokester. You haven't even seen me, how do you know I'm a beauty?" An Meihui said, "Perhaps I'm an ugly duckling."

"Miss An's voice is so enchanting; how can you be an ugly duckling? If that were the case, then I must have misjudged." Ye Xiao said.

An Meihui chuckled softly again and said, "Mr. Ye, you truly have quite the sense of humor."

"Just a little!"

An Meihui said, "Mr. Ye, I genuinely want to be friends with you."

"If it's possible, I would love that too. After all, being friends with a beauty can develop into something more over time. Since you sought me out, you must know I enjoy beautiful women." Ye Xiao laughed casually.

An Meihui paused slightly, then said, "Mr. Ye, you are indeed candid."

Although An Meihui said this, she didn't want to exchange too many frivolous words with Ye Xiao because his words were somewhat indecent.

An Meihui said to Ye Xiao, "I wonder if Mr. Ye has any deep knowledge of the major families in the Federation?"

"The major families in the Federation?" Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao burst into laughter and said, "I'm just a small fry. How could I know about such things?"

"Then the name Rothschild, I believe Mr. Ye must have heard of it, right?" An Meihui said.

Rothschild?

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao was mildly shocked.

Southern Federation's Sixth Empire!

Why would such a super financial family suddenly contact him?

However, although Ye Xiao was very surprised in his heart, he maintained a slight smile on his face and said, "Of course, I've heard of them. In the world of finance, stories about this financial family have been told so roguishly. Moreover, anyone who has read Currency Wars should know this name."

An Meihui said, "Those are just fabrications. Rothschild disdains dealing with them."

"But, why are they contacting me? To be friends? Or do they have too much money and plan to give me some?" Ye Xiao said with a laugh.

"I don't know the extent of Rothschild's wealth, but if you're willing, you could get just a tiny portion of it. I think even that small portion would be enough to make you the richest person in the world." An Meihui said.

"Oh?" Ye Xiao said, "Rumor has it Rothschild's wealth rivals that of a nation. It seems the rumors aren't false. Okay, what's the matter? Just say it."

"Let me first introduce myself in detail: my name is An Meihui, of Yan Country origin, and I am one of Rothschild family's agents in Yan Country. For Rothschild's development, I hope to become friends with you." An Meihui said.

"Specifically?" Ye Xiao asked.
