There was no hope for them. Sure, they always tried to help their family, but they always ended up causing trouble for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, the Ye family was in crisis, and their future was in danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hang sat on the sofa before sighing. “If only I did not kick Xiao Tian out of our family….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian could raise his family’s status from a lower-class family to an upper-class family in less than three years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even started his business from scratch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were born from a middle-class family or given a large amount of capital for business, he would have raised his family status to a high upper-class family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Sigh…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hang sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he did not kick Xiao Tian out of the family, the Ye family would have an equal footing with the Xiao family and the Li family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could step on their pride, and everyone would respect them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he did not take the opportunity God gave him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was sure it was only a matter of time before Xiao Tian finally raised his family status to a high upper-class family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had lost a genius descendant due to his mistakes and selfishness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>God had given the Ye family a chance to become a rich and influential family, but he did not take that opportunity; instead, he threw away that golden opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feeling of regret in his heart was deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now think of a way to get Xiao Tian to agree to return to the Ye family.” Ye Hang spoke and paused for a second before he continued, “He is our only hope now. If he refuses to return to our family, there will be no Ye family in Shanghai.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever happened, they had to get Xiao Tian to return to the Ye family because he was their only hope now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tong and the others began to think of a way to get Xiao Tian to return to the Ye family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Ye Ming and Ye Hedong gave a piece of shocking advice. “Family head, how about we kidnap aunt Ye Xueyin and Ye Qingyu? After that, we can force Xiao Tian to return to our family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—–\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian was currently with Xing Juzong, Xing Renqing, and Zhao Sheng at one of the Xing family restaurants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xing family restaurant was huge and had two floors. Xiao Tian and the others were currently on the second floor, or more precisely, they were on the balcony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating, they talked for a few minutes before finally heading to the balcony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian was the first to walk to the balcony because the scenery from the balcony was so amazing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could see the beautiful garden from the balcony. Even though it was nighttime, but the beauty of the garden had not diminished in the slightest; instead, it became even more beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Shui…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gentle breeze hit their bodies, causing their hair to dance softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The gentle breeze feels amazing.” Zhao Sheng spoke abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are right.” Xiao Tian agreed with Zhao Sheng’s words. “And the scenery from here is also breathtaking, making the night even more beautiful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a pity that we are all male here.” Zhao Sheng sighed after saying that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, yes. It’s a pity that we are all male.” As usual, Xing Renqing forgot that she was a female.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black lines formed on Xing Juzong’s forehead. “Sister, you are female, not male.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro, I have told you many time. I’m a man deep in my heart.” Xing Renqing still thought of herself as male, not female.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe.” Xiao Tian and Zhao Sheng chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Xing, it seems like having a younger sister like her is quite draining your patience.” Xiao Tian was not surprised by Xing Renqing’s words because this was not his first time hearing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are right.” Xing Juzong sighed. “She was so adorable when she was little, but now…sigh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother, you are my family, so you have to accept me completely.” Xing Renqing spoke and paused for a second before she continued, “Oh right, bro Xiao, bro Zhao. How about we play football tomorrow?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Football?” Xiao Tian and Zhao Sheng were startled by Xing Renqing’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xing Juzong flicked his sister’s forehead, “Did you forget that you have to attend a banquet with mother tomorrow?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro, I don’t want to go to that kind of event. It’s boring!” Xing Renqing didn’t like attending banquets because it was boring in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This banquet is important for mother, so you can’t refuse.” Xing Juzong responded, “Do you want to make our mother angry?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aggghhh.” Xing Renqing expressed her annoyance with a loud sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha.” Zhao Sheng laughed. “Don’t worry. We can play football next time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?” Xing Renqing inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course.” Zhao Sheng responded, “You can bring your bodyguards and I will bring my subordinates. We can have a match later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Let’s do that.” Xing Renqing agreed with Zhao Sheng’s idea instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiao Tian was talking with Xing Juzong and the others, two gorgeous women walked past them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Hmm?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Nichang stopped her footsteps when she noticed Xiao Tian on the balcony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Ran instantly stopped her footsteps too. “What are you doing? Didn’t you say you were starving?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, she still did not notice Xiao Tian. That was why she had no idea as to why Leng Nichang suddenly stopped her footsteps like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of answering Xi Ran’s questions, Leng Nichang walked closer to Xiao Tian. “Mr. Xiao?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian instantly turned his head towards the source of the sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Isn’t she Leng Nichang?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was startled when he saw Leng Nichang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, Xiao Tian?!” Xi Ran finally knew the reason why Leng Nichang suddenly stopped her footsteps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?” Xiao Tian shifted his gaze from Leng Nichang to Xi Ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Ah, so she is with Xi Ran, huh?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not surprised because he knew that Xi Ran had a close relationship with Leng Nichang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We meet again, lady Xi, lady Leng.” Like usual, Xiao Tian showed his soft smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro, who are they? Are they also your women?” Xing Renqing knew that Xiao Tian had more than one girlfriend because Zhao Sheng had told her about it.\u003C\u002Fp>",1221,"2026-06-06T16:27:54.572Z",1,"novelbin.me","b9e6b7abf41e83937bbbc95e9a43c64d392d7029a41913ccfaeafffad8ac2e7b","illicit-relationship-chapter-1299","illicit-relationship-chapter-1297",1793,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fillicit-relationship-cover.jpg"]
