Chapter 717

"You have helped our siblings a great deal today; to us, you are a benefactor, and I will provide a generous reward later," Li Yuan said solemnly.

Before dinner, he did not think Shu Xia had much ability, and he harbored some doubts in his heart.

He also suspected Shu Xia's motives for getting close to Qianqian.

He had sacrificed everything imaginable to reach where he was today.

During this time, all kinds of people with all kinds of motives had emerged one after another.

People who seemed kind and trustworthy would, in reality, deal you a fatal blow at a critical moment.

Having suffered such losses many times, he gradually stopped trusting anyone and became guarded against everyone.

But today, Shu Xia's appearance was not in the form of having any ulterior motive.

He had an intuition that Shu Xia was trustworthy.

"Qianqian and I are friends, and since Qianqian calls me Sister Xia Xia, there is no need to worry too much about such a small matter," Shu Xia said, not caring about the reward.

When she agreed to help Qianqian, she was simply thinking of helping a friend.

If she had wanted a reward, she would have brought it up at the very beginning.

Moreover, she had a very good impression of Qianqian from the start.

Perhaps it was because Qianqian and she were fated.

Being able to discover the fake Peace Talisman today showed that this was her destiny with Qianqian.

Li Yuan did not insist further.

However, half an hour after Shu Xia left, Li Yuan left right after her.

Li Qianqian did not care what her brother was going to do; she was busy purchasing second-year high school textbooks and various test papers through various channels.

She, Li Qianqian, was going to return to her peak!

Meanwhile, Li Yuan arrived at another residence.

Many matters were handled here, and he did not want Qianqian to come into contact with them; for the two siblings, it was enough for one person to face these things that could not be seen in the light.

A dozen or so photographs laid out on the table had not yet been put away.

They were laid out one by one.

These photos were taken very discreetly, yet Shu Xia's features could still be made out.

"Young Master, are you sure about not taking this business?" the old man on the side asked Li Yuan.

Li Yuan had clearly said today that he was going back to have dinner with Li Qianqian and would give a response to this matter tomorrow, yet he had returned.

The old man was somewhat surprised and keenly sensed that something was unusual.

"We will not take it; no one in our Li family is permitted to take this business," Li Yuan said in a firm tone.

He then gathered the photos one by one, and just as he was about to hand them over for the old man to dispose of, he paused, took them back, and placed them securely in a drawer.

The old man was astonished, "They offered an astronomical price; are you really not taking it? Does the Young Master have any reason?"

Could it be that the Young Master had taken a liking to the girl in the photos?

Did he want to find a woman and settle down?

"There is no reason; just tell the other party directly that I said we are not taking this business," Li Yuan said in a deep voice.

The old man asked no further questions.
