Chapter 494 - 396 First Watch_2
"Everyone says you’re incredibly thorough, and now I see it’s true," Xiaofeng said to Men Chao with some helplessness. "Actually, with your abilities, it would be possible for you to take over the Xu Family’s power. After all, Old Xu has aged, and many things are beyond him now. His son is not very useful, and his grandson is too young to handle affairs. In the past, if you had wanted to take over the Xu Family’s business, it might have seemed a bit improper, but now it’s different, isn’t it? You’re now the husband of Miss Xu, the son-in-law of Old Xu, so whatever you do has a lot more legitimacy. Don’t you think?"
"The Gu Family’s Young Madam’s ability to sway people isn’t bad, you’re trying to sway me to join hands with the Gu Family, then replace Old Xu, and let me take the position of the Xu Family Head myself."
"I think it’s a very good idea, don’t you?" Xiaofeng looked at him with keen interest. "Men Chao, I believe you are a smart man too. The day Old Xu trusts you is the day he’ll start watching you."
"You’re thinking too much. There won’t be such a day. Old Xu gave me my life, and in this lifetime, my life is his. He can take it back whenever he wants."
"You speak so boldly," Xiaofeng mocked with a laugh.
"Not as much as you, Gu Family’s Young Madam." Men Chao checked the time. "Gu Family’s Young Madam, think about it carefully, whether to continue with this wedding or not, after all, they will be here in two days."
As he was about to leave, Xiaofeng suddenly asked, "The fire that happened during my delivery, was it related to the Xu Family?"
Men Chao looked at her, lips pressed tight, speechless. "What do you think?"
Xiaofeng watched him until he left without saying another word.
Who else could have caused that fire, if not the Xu Family?
