Having received Xiao Yufan’s promise, Bai Xiaozhuo finally breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure from the Su family had been immense, forcing even him to bow his head…
Nonetheless, for him, cooperating with Xiao Yufan was completely beneficial with no drawbacks. Even if the Huisheng Enterprise expanded significantly in the north, it would never threaten the Bai family. On the contrary, aligning with prestigious families like Situ and Su could ensure the Bai family’s stability.
Bai Xiaozhuo himself was an ambitious man; he was not content merely being the young master of the Bai family. He firmly believed he had the capability to become one of the Northern Three Young Lords.
“There’s one thing I’m really confused about—aren’t you worried those so-called Northern Three Young Lords will come after you?”
Although the Bai family’s power was unquestionable, the reputation of the Northern Three Young Lords was formidable. Was Bai Xiaozhuo truly unafraid of Situ Wenchang and the others confronting him?
“Worried? I, Bai Xiaozhuo, have never feared anyone. Besides, the north isn’t entirely under the control of the Northern Three Young Lords. These visible powers are far from representing the true strength across the entire north. There are many outstanding young talents in the northern region!”
Although the Northern Three Young Lords were well-known, they weren’t enough to intimidate Bai Xiaozhuo. Except for that one person from the Luan family, he truly didn’t regard the other two as equals.
“Young Master Bai, your courage is impressive! If that’s the case, I hope soon you’ll have a place among the Northern Three Young Lords!”
Xiao Yufan smiled, gaining a new appreciation for Bai Xiaozhuo’s confidence. Although the title of Northern Three Young Lords sounded intimidating, it wouldn’t significantly impact him. Moreover, a confrontation with Situ Wenchang was inevitable sooner or later.
“Then here’s to our successful cooperation…”
Bai Xiaozhuo’s eyebrows lifted slightly, his eyes carrying an indescribable gleam. He seemed to envision a new ranking among the Northern Three Young Lords in the near future.
“Oh, by the way, I’ve already arranged to send back that woman from the Qiao family. What you do with her now is your own business!”
After a short pause, Bai Xiaozhuo suddenly recalled something and looked at Qiao Chuxi as he spoke. He didn’t understand why there was such a stark difference between two women from the same Qiao family. It was no wonder that under Qiao Chuxi’s brilliant spotlight, jealousy among other women was inevitable.
Qiao Chuxi was momentarily stunned before slowly regaining her composure and nodding. Although she wasn’t particularly fond of Qiao Meng, blood ties were still familial. Besides, she didn’t want her uncle to be upset, so she had mostly forgiven this woman already.
After doing all this, Bai Xiaozhuo shrugged and turned to leave. He didn’t want to stay around as a third wheel anymore. However, his admiration for Xiao Yufan had grown even stronger. Having so many remarkable women around him was enough proof of a man’s charm.
After Bai Xiaozhuo left, a beautiful smile appeared on Qiao Chuxi’s face. Qiao Group had not only suffered no losses but had gained significantly instead, all thanks to Xiao Yufan. Without this man, the Bai family would never have respected the Qiao family.
Qiao Chuxi had initially wanted to thank Xiao Yufan, but she soon realized it was unnecessary. After all, Qiao Group now belonged to this lustful man. He was merely acting in his own interests.
“What are you planning to do with that woman?”
Xiao Yufan naturally had no idea what Qiao Chuxi was thinking. If he did, he would probably be quite furious. This girl really needed proper discipline.
“She might have just been confused for a moment. I used to really dislike her, but now I don’t hate her as much anymore…”
If it weren’t for Qiao Meng, she and Xiao Yufan wouldn’t have met by chance, nor would so many events have unfolded. Therefore, she had long since stopped disliking that woman. Handing her over to her uncle would suffice.
“Up to you…”
Xiao Yufan understood Qiao Chuxi’s soft heart, so he didn’t say much. If that woman knew her place, everything would remain peaceful. However, if she caused any more trouble, he would definitely not show mercy…
