Chapter 2006: His Existence Is a Hidden Danger

~7 min read 1,281 words

Yi Lingluo not only stabilized the family business but also broke through previous shackles, opening a new chapter.

Since then, relying on a bold style, Yi Lingluo made a name for himself.

He also secured his position within the family.

After learning about this person, Xie Wanyi became very interested in him.

Compared to a businessman, Xie Wanyi felt this person was more like a gambler.

If he wins, he walks on a broad, smooth road.

If he loses, he ends up in total ruin.

As of now, Yi Lingluo has had good luck, always managing to turn danger into safety at critical moments.

Yet, such a figure has now appeared here silently...

And what surprised Xie Wanyi even more was that Yi Xiang walked out with him.

Yi Lingluo even patted his shoulder and urged, "When you have time, go home and visit Mom and Dad; they miss you."

It was this sentence that let Xie Wanyi know the relationship between Yi Xiang and Yi Lingluo.

Xie Wanyi was startled for a moment.

He took another deep look at the pair of brothers, then left quietly.

According to the plan, after looking at the house, Xie Wanyi went to have a meal with Jiang Motian.

At this moment, Jiang Motian had already booked a table at the restaurant.

Waiting for Xie Wanyi to come to the restaurant to find her, she happily waved at Xie Wanyi.

Xie Wanyi walked over with a smile and said, "You must be hungry, right?"

"It's alright. By the way, how was the house viewing?"

"Standard and unremarkable."

Xie Wanyi paused in his tone and added, "But if I choose this villa area, I will likely be neighbors with Yi Xiang."

"Ah, Yi Xiang is also buying a house there?"

"To be precise, he already has property there under his name."

On the way here, Xie Wanyi checked and learned that Yi Xiang was already an owner there.

Jiang Motian said while flipping through the menu, "That's quite a coincidence."

Suddenly, her hand flipping the menu paused.

Then she frowned and looked up, muttering, "That's not right. How long has he been working? Even if he didn't eat or drink, he couldn't afford a house there!"

"Indeed, but if the Yi family bought it for him, it would be understandable."

"The Yi family?"

"Yi Xiang is Yi Lingluo's younger brother."

Jiang Motian also knew of Yi Lingluo.

Precisely because she knew, she felt shocked by the news Xie Wanyi brought.

Jiang Motian widened her eyes, leaned forward, and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I even specifically had Xiaolin check, and I can confirm Yi Xiang's identity."

"Then this Yi Xiang... is really low-key."

After Jiang Motian sighed, she clicked her tongue and said, "The Yi family's industry is mainly in the south. Why would Yi Xiang run here to live a hard life instead of enjoying the good life over there?"

"As for him, either he is avoiding suspicion, or he wants to break free from the family's constraints."

Hmm...

Judging by Yi Xiang's personality, Jiang Motian felt the second possibility was more likely.

Jiang Motian rolled her eyes and suddenly sighed.

Seeing this, Xie Wanyi asked, "What's wrong?"

"My brother has been getting along quite well with Yangyang recently, and there are signs of their relationship warming up. However..."

"However, will Yi Xiang's identity affect their relationship?"

Jiang Motian nodded gently.

Xie Wanyi touched Jiang Motian's hair and comforted her, "Don't worry blindly. If Wei Yangyang decided whether to be with someone based on their identity, your brother would have already won the beauty's heart long ago."

That may be so, but as long as Li Xingyan hasn't successfully pursued Wei Yangyang, Yi Xiang's existence is a hidden danger.

Moreover, Yi Lingluo is someone with methods.

If he were to intervene...

Jiang Motian pursed her lips and then asked, "Can you find out where Yi Lingluo is now?"

"He has already left. His original destination was Europe, and stopping here briefly was just to meet with Yi Xiang."

"That's good..."

Looking at Jiang Motian's visibly relieved expression, Xie Wanyi guessed something.

To put Jiang Motian at ease, Xie Wanyi also shared his own speculation: "Yi Lingluo might not necessarily support Yi Xiang staying here."

"So what if he doesn't support it? If Yi Lingluo can't withstand Yi Xiang's pestering, he might help him devise strategies at any time just to coax his younger brother."

"Don't you also devise strategies for Li Xingyan? Then let's just see who is more skillful."

After Xie Wanyi finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something.

He narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile, "You wouldn't happen to lack confidence in yourself, would you?"

"I have confidence, of course, but I... have less confidence in my brother."

"But didn't you say your brother and Wei Yangyang have been getting along well lately? And Wei Yangyang has feelings for your brother, too. These are all advantages."

"These are indeed advantages, but Yangyang's feelings for my brother are like duckweed without roots. She... she..."

Jiang Motian did not finish her sentence, her attention having been drawn away by someone.

Her gaze was fixed tightly on that person.

Xie Wanyi looked over in the direction of her gaze.

And then...

"Xin Ziran?"

The person Jiang Motian saw was indeed Xin Ziran.

At this moment, Xin Ziran had already walked out of the restaurant and quickly disappeared into the sea of people.

Jiang Motian also withdrew her gaze at this time.

Her eyes widened as she asked, "Why is Xin Ziran still here?"

"He hasn't achieved what he set out to do yet, so how could he leave?"

Listening to what Xie Wanyi meant... he clearly knew something.

Jiang Motian immediately inquired, "Then his wish is..."

"In any case, it has to do with your brother."

"Could you be more specific?"

"That you would have to ask Li Xingyan."

"But you should know a little something too, right?"

Jiang Motian blinked her eyes, staring intently at Xie Wanyi.

She was very eager for an answer.

But unfortunately...

Xie Wanyi had no intention of revealing anything at all.

He said, "I noticed the signs weren't quite right, so I didn't continue investigating, lest I uncover too much privacy and make him angry."

"Then... I'll go ask my brother!"

"That's a good decision; while you're at it, mention the matter regarding Yi Xiang so he can be mentally prepared."

Jiang Motian nodded immediately.

She planned to go back tonight and have a chat with Li Xingyan.

However, what Jiang Motian did not expect was that Li Xingyan suddenly became busy.

For the next several days in a row, Jiang Motian was unable to meet with him.

This couldn't go on.

Jiang Motian prepared to set a time with her brother so the two of them could sit down without distractions and talk about the important points.

But before that...

Jiang Motian felt she needed to meet with Wei Yangyang first.

When Wei Yangyang was doing the design for Yi Xiang, she needed some specific data.

Yi Xiang provided some.

But there was still some data that required on-site surveying.

Originally, Yi Xiang was going to accompany Wei Yangyang.

But as luck would have it, he was temporarily assigned work.

With no other choice, Yi Xiang could only apologize for breaking the appointment.

Wei Yangyang felt it didn't matter.

It was fine for her to measure the data by herself.

But after Jiang Motian found out about this, she volunteered to go to the villa with Wei Yangyang.

Measuring this data looked simple.

But in reality? It required climbing up and down, which was very exhausting.
