"Brother Xiao, why do you suddenly need so much money?" Fu Donglai didn't dare to refuse, cautiously asking, "Is something going on?"

Ye Xiao said, "Don't be afraid, as I said, I'm just borrowing it."

"Brother Xiao, listen to you talking like this. Isn't mine also Brother Xiao's? Besides, I said earlier that the Fu family is half yours and half mine, so the assets are also half yours. Therefore, the money you take is your own." Fu Donglai, hearing Ye Xiao's words, thought Ye Xiao didn't trust him and quickly responded.

Ye Xiao said, "Actually, it's just some small thing. Of course, for you, it's definitely a small thing. Qiqi's in a bit of trouble, so I need some money to wipe away the problems."

Upon hearing the name 'Qiqi', Fu Donglai immediately asked Ye Xiao, "Brother Xiao, are you talking about Li Siqi?"

Ye Xiao smiled slightly and immediately looked toward Li Siqi, who was also looking at him at that moment.

"That's right, it's her!" Ye Xiao said.

Fu Donglai was a bit surprised and quickly said, "Brother Xiao, what's going on, I'll definitely help with her matters."

Ye Xiao said, "Donglai, you seem a bit too excited. At least, in my mind, Qiqi is my friend. You can somewhat understand the word 'friend', so if someone once or is currently hurting her, I might not let it go."

Upon hearing this, Fu Donglai was so scared that his hand trembled, nearly dropping his phone. Ye Xiao's words clearly pointed to something.

"I understand, I understand. When do you need the money? I'll transfer it to you right away," Fu Donglai said.

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "No need to rush. Once I negotiate with others, I'll ask you for it. Now, I'm just calling to check your intentions."

"Okay, Brother Xiao, if there's anything else you need help with, you can tell me," Fu Donglai said.

Ye Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Do you know Liangju Bay?"

"I do!" Fu Donglai replied.

"Then do you know Mao Xiaoguang, the person in charge of Liangju Bay?"

Fu Donglai said, "I know him. Why?"

Ye Xiao said, "If you know him, you can call Mao Xiaoguang and tell him we're friends because I'll be looking for him later. After all, you definitely carry more weight than I do."

Fu Donglai immediately said, "That must mean he has eyes but fails to recognize a great person like Taishan. Brother Xiao, did he make you unhappy? I'll wreck him now."

"Why so impulsive? He's having a hard time too. Alright, let's leave it at that," Ye Xiao said.

"Yes, yes!" Fu Donglai quickly responded.

Ye Xiao hung up the phone, and on the other end, Fu Donglai was left in a daze for a long time, letting out a slight sigh.

"Mr. Fu, is something wrong?" Zhang Quan immediately looked at Fu Donglai, expressing some concern.

"No, nothing," Fu Donglai sighed.

His father, his grandfather—they all died because of him. If they hadn't died, Fu Donglai definitely wouldn't listen to Ye Xiao, nor would he take Ye Xiao seriously. But now he dared not disobey Ye Xiao because he knew his protection was gone. Now, if he wanted to keep himself alive, he had to be a loyal dog.

Fu Donglai was truly filled with regret now. He couldn't understand how he had been so possessed back then, how he could have done such things, even to the point of killing his own father.

It's retribution!

That was the only thought in Fu Donglai's mind. But what could he do? He had to do what Ye Xiao said.

Inside the Porsche.

"Who were you just on the phone with?" Li Siqi's expression was somewhat gloomy.

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Fu Donglai!"

"Why did you call him?" Li Siqi's face grew even darker, her voice even colder.

"Why can't I call him?" Ye Xiao said, "Didn't I say I was looking for a sucker?"

"You're going to use his money?" Li Siqi said angrily, "I definitely won't use his money."

"Do you still like him?" Ye Xiao suddenly said.

Li Siqi was taken aback by Ye Xiao's words and immediately said, "No, how could I like him?"

"Since you don't like him, then you should act like he doesn't exist. After all, you both live on Blue Star, and it's inevitable you'll cross paths in life," Ye Xiao said. "But thinking you can avoid it only proves you can't face your own heart."

"No, that's just your own thought," Li Siqi glared at Ye Xiao.

"But is my thought not correct?" Ye Xiao replied.

Li Siqi fell silent.

Wasn't there any truth to Ye Xiao's words? Obviously, that wasn't possible. What Ye Xiao said made sense, and plenty of sense. It was true, was she unwilling to face her own heart?

Ye Xiao added, "If you don't like him and only dislike him, then all the more reason to rightfully accept it, because this money comes free. Besides, didn't I just say? I'm borrowing it, and since it's borrowed, it will be returned in the future, which means this money is mine. Does my money burden you?"

Li Siqi stared straight ahead, not sure what she was thinking.

Ye Xiao stayed silent, speeding along the highway.

"Alright, don't overthink it." Ye Xiao smiled gently, and patted the back of Li Siqi's hand twice, as a gesture of comfort.

Li Siqi slowly turned to look at Ye Xiao, and said, "How did you know about Fu Donglai and me?"

Smart woman!

That's the phrase that popped into Ye Xiao's mind at that moment.

An ordinary woman facing such a situation would surely be thinking about how to resolve it, but Li Siqi was different; she raised questions.

Indeed, Ye Xiao wasn't supposed to know about this.

Ye Xiao smiled slightly, and said, "There's no wall in the world that doesn't let the wind through. You know, I have many female friends, and who knows, one of them might be your high school or university classmate."

Li Siqi sighed and said, "Fine, if you know, then you know, but don't let anyone else find out about this."

Ye Xiao said, "Of course, I'm not someone who likes to gossip."

"Go to hell!" Li Siqi rolled her eyes at Ye Xiao and then said, "We'll do as you say. But will Mao Xiaoguang really transfer his shares?"

"I don't know. If he's truly unwilling to transfer them, haha, then I'll have to resort to violence. In this world, there are indeed some people who refuse respect and prefer punishment." Ye Xiao said.

Li Siqi couldn't help but look at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao immediately smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I'm not a good person either? Actually, I've never been a good person, I'm a bad guy who's willing to kill at the drop of a hat, so going to negotiate with him in the first place is already giving him a lot of face."

Listening to Ye Xiao's words, Li Siqi felt like crying and laughing. That was just Ye Xiao.

"What? Are you scared?" Ye Xiao asked again.

"How could I be!" Li Siqi snorted and said, "Would I be afraid of you?"

"Haha!" Ye Xiao just laughed and said nothing more.

From then on, the two of them didn't say much more and just drove on.

As they were about to exit the highway, Li Siqi couldn't hold back any longer.

"What's actually your relationship with Fu Donglai?" Li Siqi turned to look at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "I knew you would ask this. I just didn't expect you to hold it in for so long before you did."

Upon hearing this, Li Siqi blushed slightly and immediately said, "You are smart, alright?"

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Fu Donglai is my little brother now, he listens to whatever I say."

Li Siqi said: "How could that be? By the way, did he just promise to give you five billion Northern Federation Coins? Doesn't he have to report this to Fu Tianjue? You know, Fu Hongyi just died not long ago."

"Oh, right, but what does that have to do with me?" Ye Xiao chuckled, not wanting to reveal to Li Siqi that Fu Tianjue was already dead. After all, the Li family is also one of the Eight Great Families. If Ye Xiao so quickly controlled the Fu family and killed Fu Tianjue, the Li family might become wary of him.

Even though Ye Xiao and Li Siqi's relationship was becoming increasingly harmonious, at least much better than before, their relationship didn't have a strict definition. So, there are things Ye Xiao didn't want Li Siqi to know about.

Li Siqi felt that Ye Xiao made sense and said, "What if you negotiate the price and the Fu family refuses to pay up, then what...?"

Seeing that Li Siqi was still worried, Ye Xiao said, "As long as you don't feel sorry, I'll beat Fu Donglai until he can't have sons."

"You really are domineering!" Li Siqi chuckled lightly and said, "But how you deal with him has nothing to do with me, so don't tell me about it."

"That's true, you are involved with me now, and not with him anymore," Ye Xiao said seriously.

Upon seeing Ye Xiao say this with such seriousness, Li Siqi instantly felt annoyed. She glared at Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, stop talking nonsense!"

Ye Xiao laughed playfully, "Hehe, alright, but we have no relation now, who knows what might happen in the future?"

Li Siqi immediately retorted angrily, "Ye Xiao, I'll never have any relation with you, just give up on that thought."

Ye Xiao merely grinned mischievously and said, "I believe we definitely will."

"You…" Li Siqi fumed but found herself helpless against Ye Xiao.

At this moment, the Porsche slowly exited the highway, paid some tolls, and Ye Xiao drove the Porsche swiftly towards a high-end community in the Wenchang District.

Meanwhile!

At the Xilong Yuan District in Wenchang.

"Xiaoguang, who on earth have you offended? Fu Donglai just became the head of the Fu family, and he's already turning on you? Also, who exactly is this Ye Xiao? I've never heard of him."

At this moment, Mao Xiaoguang was sitting in the living room, looking utterly perplexed. He had been in high spirits, but after receiving a call from Fu Donglai, Mao Xiaoguang was panic-stricken!
