Chapter 906
Ye Junqing wrapped her in his arms, reluctant to let go: “Don’t worry, even if they want to morally blackmail us, I won’t give them the chance. KOCO will soon publish the investigative report for everyone to see. That’ll give them a tough time.”
“I didn’t expect you to have a backup plan.” Ye Xingguang felt a warm comfort inside.noveldrama
However, Ye Xingguang felt sorry for her own dear brother: “Now, the Xia’s Corporation will be implicated as well. I still hold shares in the Xia’s Corporation; does this mean I’m digging my own financial grave?”
“Do you lack that bit of money?”
His large palm covered the back of her hand: “Mrs. Ye, do you have any idea what your net worth is after marrying me? Once the next Forbes list updates, you’ll be one of the notable rich women. Put on the air of a wealthy woman, it’s okay to lose a bit of money, why feel sorry?”
“I’m feeling sorry for my brother. He is the president of the Xia’s Corporation and he has to clean up this mess. I reckon the stocks of Xia’s Corporation will hit the limit down again tomorrow.”
Ye Junqing didn’t sympathize.
Ye Xingguang said: “If the Xia’s Corporation has a problem, remember to lend a hand, alright? My brother is your uncle-in-law.”
This uncle-in-law had never really helped him. The little friendship they had was about to run out, and Ye Junqing sniffed dismissively.
“Did you hear me?” Ye Xingguang pinched his waist.
Ye Junqing then said: “I know. Your brother is supremely capable. A bit of negative news like this won’t be enough to put him in crisis. The Xia’s Corporation is essentially his making. As for Xia Wealth, heh, completely lacking in business acumen!”
Really?
Then she could rest easy.
Ye Junqing continued: “Xia Wealth just got lucky to have a son as capable as your brother. Otherwise, he would have been overshadowed by the eldest and third branch of the Xia’s Family.”
Ye Xingguang didn’t have much impression of her eldest uncle and third uncle; she only knew that among the three sons of the Xia’s Family, Xia Wealth was the most mediocre. His capabilities were no match for those of his eldest brother, and in terms of social maneuvering, he was inferior to his third brother, the least visible within the Xia’s Family.
However, fortune smiled on him because both the eldest uncle and third uncle only had daughters, whereas Xia Wealth had a son. Later, the couple joined the mermaid transformation program and gave birth to Xia Yanyan, becoming the ultimate winners of the Ying’s Family.
Ye Junqing changed the topic: “Really going back underwater tomorrow?”
“Mhm.” Ye Xingguang swayed the bracelet on her wrist: “When I was leaving, the third elder put this on my wrist. I don’t know what it is, but I feel that if I don’t return on time, this thing will claim my life.”
A murderous intent flickered in the depths of Ye Junqing’s eyes. He gripped her wrist, voice low and pressing: “Why have you never told me about this?”
“If I return on time, it should be fine. Don’t worry, you are now the heir to the vampire clan. I’ll just wait for you at the bottom of the sea to come and marry me with your dowry. Later, we can heal you, my dad, and Xiao Man. I can also become queen, opening up a market in the underwater world for you—killing several birds with one stone.”
“Heh…” Ye Junqing didn’t find these words tempting at all.
What worried him now was that once she became that queen, she would never be able to leave and would have to stay in that bleak and sunless abyss!
No matter how advanced technology might be, in his eyes, it was a dreadful place!
Ye Junqing pulled her tightly into his arms, warning her: “Let me tell you, there can only be me in your harem! If you dare create a palace of three palaces and six courtyards for me to see, I’ll turn into an asura. I’ll make sure all of your three palaces and six courtyards meet the King of Hell!”
