"Then you don't need to worry about it!" Luo Shi-yi said arrogantly, "My elder sister said that if you readily agree, we'll hand over the construction of the factory and the research institute to your Nan Corporation. If you prevaricate, she has her ways to make you hand over that land, but you won't get any engineering projects!"
Nan Xiao looked at him coldly, "Are you sure these words came from your elder sister and not you?"
Luo Shi-yi's back felt a chill as he avoided his deep, still eyes, "Of course, my elder sister said it! Give me a straight answer, are you selling or not?"
"Let her come talk to me!" Nan Xiao took off his suit and sat down.
Luo Shi-yi glanced at him, what was his meaning?
Here he was, the vice president of blue-xi, standing here, and Nan Xiao was picking up documents to work!
"My elder sister went..."
Upon hearing this, Luo Shi-yi, furious, slammed the door he had just opened shut again.
"Nan Xiao, I'm telling you, it wouldn't take our Hongmen much effort to kill you! We've been tolerating your Nan family not because we fear you, but because we don't want to upset my elder sister! She considers you family, even my master ranks behind you, but what have you done!"
Luo Shi-yi became more and more angry as he spoke, kicking the door again with a bang, leaving a large dent in the door panel.
"My elder sister is right! May you and Xia Qianqian have a sweet, loving life forever!"
Luo Shi-yi blurted this out nonsensically, then slammed the door shut and left.
Nan Xiao stared at the broken door for a long time, lost in thought.
Why did Xia Qianqian get involved again?
Had something happened in the few days he was away that he didn't know about?
Nan Xiao picked up his phone and dialed.
"Xiang Bei, in the days I was away, did Xia Qianqian stir up trouble again?"
"Yes, she had someone post photos of you and her dining at Emperor's Palace online. It took me half an hour to delete them all."
Nan Xiao asked angrily, "It took you half an hour to delete the photos?"
"You find it incredible too, don't you? Other websites deleted them quickly, but there was one small website that took me twenty-five minutes to break through its firewall."
Nan Xiao pinched his temples, "What did people say online?"
"Ninety percent of netizens said you two are a perfect match. Some 'insiders' said you've been dating for six years and have already met each other's families. There are also 'insiders' who claim you two got married three years ago and chose to keep it secret to not affect Xia Qianqian's acting career. Some even say you found the best lawyer for Xia Chaoyang, preparing for medical parole."
Nan Xiao's frown deepened as he listened. No wonder Xi Bao let Luo Shi-yi speak to him in such a tone; she was truly angered this time.
Nan Xiang Bei waited for Nan Xiao's response for a long time, then asked, "Boss, although Xia Qianqian's assistant handled this, she's the real mastermind. How should we deal with her?"
Nan Xiao sneered. Even if Nan Xiang Bei hadn't said it, he knew who the mastermind was.
This Xia Qianqian was getting bolder and bolder.
Did she think a scandal with him would allow her to marry into the Nan family?
He just wanted to tell her six words: You're thinking too much!
Let alone that he would never marry in this life, even if he wanted to marry, his spouse would not be a member of the Xia family.
The Xia family, not only Xi Bao hated them, but he hated them too!
Thinking of what Mrs. Xia did to Xi Bao, he wished he could throw their entire family into the Pacific Ocean.
However, he couldn't touch Xia Qianqian yet.
Because if he did, Xi Bao would once again have hope in him, which was not what he wanted.
Let her hate him; it was better than suffering with him.
"Throw that assistant into a den of vice in Country T, and then send Xia Qianqian daily photos of her life there. If she dares to do this again, she'll be the next one sent in!"
"Understood. Do we need to clarify this matter?"
"Forget it, the heat has died down. Clarifying it would only make things worse. However, those websites that reported this news should be warned, otherwise, they'll think I've changed my ways."
"Understood, I'll get right on it."
Meanwhile, Luo Shi-yi got into his car after leaving the Nan Corporation building, completely deflated.
This errand had nearly cost him half his life.
Nan Xiao's aura was too powerful; he had scared Eleven-baby to death.
But his elder sister had said if he dared to chicken out in front of Nan Xiao, he'd be kicked out of the sect, so he had to stand tall!
After composing himself for a moment, Luo Shi-yi took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Lan Yu Xi.
[Nan Xiao agreed to sell the land to us. He said to have someone who can make the final decision from our side come over to sign the contract the day after tomorrow.]
[Oh, right, he's not injured.]
Ten minutes after Luo Shi-yi sent the message, Lan Yu Xi saw it. She thought for a moment and replied.
[Let my elder brother go sign.]
Luo Shi-yi replied instantly.
[Aren't you coming back?]
[No, I still have some things to handle. I'll return in a few days with Wan Qi and their family.]
[Okay.]
Lan Yu Xi put down her phone, her eyes curving as she looked at the one adult and two children playing on the lawn not far away.
