This meal was supposed to be a happy occasion, but in the end, no one spoke.
After the meal, Ye Xiao looked at Ye Ziyan and said, "You should consider it."
Ye Ziyan looked at Ye Xiao, and she could see a brother's concern in Ye Xiao's eyes.
Ye Ziyan felt touched and nodded slightly.
Meanwhile, Wang Luoxin and Cheng Yun remained silent, but everyone was full of confusion.
Then, Ye Xiao left the residence.
Today was the day Liu Wenzhuo returned to the Liu family, something Ye Xiao had arranged with Liu Wenzhuo when he visited the Fu family yesterday.
Therefore, after Ye Xiao left the residence, he immediately dialed a number.
"Hello, Senior Liu!" Ye Xiao chuckled as he spoke to the person on the phone.
The person on the other end was none other than Liu Shixun from the Liu family.
Liu Shixun laughed when he heard it was Ye Xiao, "Calling so early, it must be Liu Wenzhuo returning today."
"Senior Liu is indeed wise, yes, today is the day Liu Wenzhuo returns. I know the death of Liu Wenchao greatly upset Liu Wenjian, so Liu Wenzhuo's return..."
"Will be safe," Liu Shixun said, "However, what we've discussed before won't change. Everything in the Liu family will proceed as per the previous rules, or rather, things might be even better than before."
Ye Xiao understood what Liu Shixun meant, smiled faintly, and said, "Of course, Senior Liu has always been concerned about the Liu family, I totally understand this."
Ye Xiao's words also conveyed to Liu Shixun that he supported him being in power within the Liu family.
As for Liu Wenzhuo, he was merely a puppet.
"Haha, disciples from the Qiu Mountain Sect are indeed extraordinary, waiting eagerly for your arrival!" Liu Shixun said smilingly.
Ye Xiao quickly replied, "Senior Liu is too kind."
After hanging up, Ye Xiao headed directly to the entrance of Tulip District.
However, just as he reached the entrance, a car honked from behind, Ye Xiao turned his head to see a snow-white BMW X6 speeding toward him.
And in the car were none other than Fang Jing and Xia Mingyue.
"Is the Deputy General Manager planning not to work anymore?" Xia Mingyue asked as the BMW X6 came to a stop at the entrance.
Ye Xiao smiled and replied, "Not at all, let's say I'm taking a day off, I have some matters to attend to."
"Oh, do you need a lift?" Xia Mingyue asked.
Ye Xiao hadn't mentioned where he was going, and they didn't intend to ask. They understood that when a man said he had matters to attend to, without elaborating, it meant it was genuinely important, and if he didn't want to share, why ask?
Ye Xiao said, "You're heading to work, right? I'm leaving Jinling District, so it might not be convenient."
"Oh, alright then, we're off to work, by the way, don't forget what you promised us," Xia Mingyue said to Ye Xiao with a meaningful look.
Ye Xiao was puzzled by Xia Mingyue's words and asked her curiously, "What did I promise you?"
Upon hearing Ye Xiao pretend to be clueless, Xia Mingyue glared at him fiercely. Then, Fang Jing inside the car looked at Ye Xiao and asked, "You think you can just look at our bodies freely?"
"Uh?" Ye Xiao recalled Fang Jing's words.
Oh yes, the other night, Ye Xiao had examined their bodies thoroughly, and also mentioned they had the potential to practice martial arts. If he didn't help them with martial arts, it would seem like taking advantage.
"I'll find time, definitely within the next couple of days!" Ye Xiao smiled and said.
"You're really busy!" Xia Mingyue remarked, looking at Ye Xiao. "Alright, you attend to your matters, we're off."
Xia Mingyue stepped on the gas, and the BMW roared away like a rocket.
Watching the BMW fade into the distance, Ye Xiao chuckled wryly and strolled out of Tulip District.
By now, it was around eight-thirty, and Ye Xiao stood near a bus stop close to Tulip District, waiting for an empty taxi.
Just then, a black sedan slowly stopped in front of Ye Xiao. Surprised, he stepped aside, thinking the driver might want to park.
However, as Ye Xiao moved aside, the sedan advanced a bit, blocking Ye Xiao's path.
Ye Xiao was annoyed, feeling the driver was intentionally causing trouble.
So, he looked at the black Mercedes.
Just then, as he gazed at the black Mercedes, the car door opened, and a woman stepped out.
Ye Xiao was taken aback seeing the woman, and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Obviously for you!"
Ye Xiao heard this and immediately smiled, "Thanks for yesterday night."
This woman was none other than An Meihui.
Ye Xiao was perplexed as to why An Meihui would come at this time, specifically mentioning looking for Ye Xiao. It was truly peculiar.
"Do you need something from me?" Ye Xiao asked An Meihui, seeking clarification.
An Meihui nodded and said, "Indeed, there is something. Didn't I tell you yesterday that the Rothschild family is interested in you?"
Upon hearing An Meihui's words, Ye Xiao immediately said, "Are you implying that the reason you're here today is because of the Rothschild family?"
"Yes, my boss wants to meet you," An Meihui said. "This is an opportunity for you."
"What kind of opportunity?" Ye Xiao asked.
"An opportunity to connect with the Rothschild family!" An Meihui said.
Hearing An Meihui's words, Ye Xiao gave a wry smile and said, "You must be kidding. When did I ever consider connecting with the Rothschild family as an opportunity?"
"Alright, let's just say I feel that way, is that okay? But my boss does indeed want to meet you," An Meihui said. "I think it will be very beneficial for you."
"Why?" Ye Xiao was becoming increasingly curious.
An Meihui said, "Because you can get the help of the Rothschild family's influence in Chu City."
An Meihui spoke casually, but her words weighed heavily on Ye Xiao's ears. This was as if she was telling Ye Xiao that on the land of Yan Country, some people who shouldn't be here not only came but also formed a power.
As a member of the Flame Dragon Team, it was Ye Xiao's responsibility to eliminate these powers.
"I have some matters to attend to, and I've already made plans with others, so I probably can't go with you right now," Ye Xiao said.
Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, An Meihui frowned and said, "Don't you think you'll miss a good opportunity this way? It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance for you."
Ye Xiao immediately chuckled and said, "I don't think I received an imperial decree that I must follow."
An Meihui looked at Ye Xiao, silent for a long time, and finally sighed, saying, "It's my boss who wants to ask for your help."
"Ask me for help?" Ye Xiao said, "Then I'm sorry, it's even more necessary to wait until I finish my business."
"Don't you think you're being a bit excessive if you insist like this?"
Ye Xiao shook his head and said, "Unless you want to harm me, hehe, alright, I must go. If I'm that important, let's meet in the afternoon at least, I have nothing else then."
With that, Ye Xiao stepped forward and directly stopped a speeding taxi.
The taxi driver was startled by the way Ye Xiao stopped the car, quickly stepped on the brakes.
"Damn, are you crazy? If you want to die, I...," the taxi driver shouted at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao said nothing and got into the car, leaving two hundred yuan on a spot next to the driver for placing things, saying, "Let's go!"
The taxi driver was also taken aback, he'd never met such a generous passenger, but he did like such passengers the most.
The taxi sped forward quickly!
An Meihui stood in place, watching Ye Xiao get in the car and leave, and sighed.
"Miss An, should we follow?" A young man driving for An Meihui immediately lowered the window and looked at An Meihui, saying.
An Meihui shook her head, then went back to the rear seat, saying, "Let's go back."
"But, Mr. Joff!"
An Meihui said, "Let's go back, I'll explain it to Mr. Joff."
Meanwhile!
Sitting in the taxi, Ye Xiao couldn't help but smile slightly. He didn't know what kind of person An Meihui's boss was, but as someone from the Rothschild family asking for his help, it was quite unbelievable. However, since they were seeking his help, Ye Xiao was no longer passive.
About half an hour later, the taxi stopped near the Fu Mansion.
"Here's your change."
"No need!"
Ye Xiao got off the car very generously.
Of course, mainly because the change would be no more than five yuan.
When Ye Xiao arrived at the entrance of the Fu Mansion, Zhang Quan was already waiting there.
Ye Xiao had already told Fu Donglai yesterday while leaving that he would come today.
Zhang Quan was now waiting here.
"Mr. Ye!" Seeing Ye Xiao coming, Zhang Quan immediately hurried over to Ye Xiao, smiling as he did.
Ye Xiao said, "Mr. Zhang, have you been waiting long?"
"Not at all, it's my duty. Our Mr. Fu is in the back helping Mr. Liu organize things, otherwise, he would have come," Zhang Quan said with a smile.
Ye Xiao smiled slightly and didn't mind. Whether Fu Donglai was waiting at the door was something Ye Xiao generally wouldn't concern himself with.
However, as Ye Xiao and Zhang Quan walked into the Fu Mansion, they happened to see Fu Donglai and Liu Wenzhuo talking and walking together. When Fu Donglai saw Ye Xiao approaching, he quickly walked over and very politely said, "Brother Xiao, I was just about to go to the entrance to greet you."
Ye Xiao said, "No need for formalities, we're family. So, it seems you're also planning to go?"
Fu Donglai nodded, then said to Ye Xiao, "Brother Xiao, can we talk privately for a moment?"
Fu Donglai and Ye Xiao took a few steps aside, and Fu Donglai immediately said to Ye Xiao in a low voice, "Brother Xiao, here's what I'm thinking. You and Liu Wenzhuo are going, and if Liu Shixun causes trouble, it might not be good. So, I'm going as well, representing the Fu family. Liu Shixun doesn't know my grandfather isn't dead, so he will definitely be cautious. Of course, I don't have any other intentions, it's purely for Brother Xiao's safety."
