Chapter 462: Chapter 464 Preliminary Planning of Power (Part 7)
“I need you to help me spread the word about this matter, and to act without the Xiao Family’s knowledge. We currently lack the strength to resist the Xiao Family.”
Especially since there is the Yao Family behind the Xiao Family, eyeing them covetously…
Mu Ruyue’s eyes slightly darkened. It seemed their enemies were indeed increasing. It was at this moment that she felt an unusual flow within her lower abdomen, warming her heart.
Yes.
She was not fighting alone. She had Wuchen and the little one inside her… As long as they were with her, she had the courage to face formidable foes.
In the Xiao Family living room, Third Young Master Xiao timidly looked at the middle-aged man sitting opposite him, his gaze containing a trace of apprehension.
Next to the middle-aged man sat a woman in light yellow attire. Her delicate oval face was exceptionally handsome with a complexion so fair it seemed to emit a faint glow, as clear and sparkling as crystal.
Especially in that light yellow attire, the woman appeared even more noble and elegant, a demeanor even the legitimate daughter of the Xiao Family couldn’t match…
Third Young Master Xiao felt some fear. The middle-aged man’s strength was overwhelming, so powerful that he was no match for him…
“So, you are the current Family Head of the Xiao Family?” The middle-aged man raised an eyebrow, looking indifferently at Third Young Master Xiao.
Third Young Master Xiao shrank his neck and chuckled, “Esteemed sir, I am the son of the Xiao Family Patriarch. May I know what business you have with my father?”
“Where is the Xiao Family Patriarch, then?”
“Hehe, my father has traveled far away and isn’t at the Xiao Family now. Whatever matters you have, you can tell me just the same; I am fully capable of dealing with them.”
Joke, even if he wasn’t capable, he had to make decisions, given how powerful this man was…
“Oh,” the middle-aged man gently tapped on the table, speaking neither warmly nor sternly, “I haven’t introduced myself yet. My name is Yao Jing, and this lady next to me is Miss Yao Tianyu of the Yao Family.”
“Yao Jing?” Third Young Master Xiao widened his eyes in surprise, “You are from the Yao Family?”
“Indeed, we hail from the Yao Family,” the middle-aged man nodded slightly, stating straightforwardly.
Gulp!
Third Young Master Xiao swallowed hard and stammered, “We… we haven’t offended the Yao Family, so what brings you to our Xiao Family, sir?”
At these words, the middle-aged man chuckled lightly, “I am here, of course, for a pleasant matter.”
“A pleasant matter?”
Third Young Master Xiao was somewhat bewildered, unable to fathom what form of “pleasant matter” would bring a powerful force like the Yao Family to the Xiao Family. He certainly didn’t believe he possessed such charm to attract visitors from the Yao Family personally.
“I hear there’s a young man named Xiao Feng in your family?” Yao Jing fixed his gaze on Third Young Master Xiao, his tone casual.
Under that gaze, Third Young Master Xiao wanted to deny it, but he lacked the courage…
“Indeed, there is someone named Xiao Feng in the Xiao Family.”
“Is he a descendant of Xiao Yun?” Yao Jing continued to stare at Third Young Master Xiao, a slight smile curling the corners of his lips.
Third Young Master Xiao quickly nodded, “Sir, may I ask what about Xiao Feng…”
Before he could finish, Yao Jing interrupted, “Xiao Feng is a commendable young man and a descendent of Xiao Yun. It is said his strength has already reached Innate Perfection. Although his talent may not match Xiao Yun’s, he can just manage to qualify. My visit this time is regarding a marriage proposal between Miss Tianyu and Xiao Feng…”
“A marriage?”
Third Young Master Xiao was completely dumbfounded, his mind going blank in an instant.
