Chapter 1290: Chapter 1293: Severing Ties
"Still willing to co back, huh?" Mu Shanshan asked.
Lin Fei quickly smiled apologetically and said, "Not asleep yet? With my wife at ho, how could I not co back? By the way, wife, is Xia i still here? Are the kids asleep?"
Mu Shanshan nodded and said, "They’re all asleep. Xia i is sharing a room with Xia Xue. What’s up?"
Lin Fei smiled and said, "Nothing, I have sothing to tell you. Do you want to hear it?"
"You’ve already ntioned it, asking if I want to hear it, does it even matter?" Mu Shanshan responded.
"Haha, isn’t that the fun of the ga?" Lin Fei chuckled, "I brought Ling Weiwei back."
"What? You went to find Ling Weiwei this afternoon? Why didn’t you tell ? She actually agreed to co back with you?"
Mu Shanshan fired a series of questions at Lin Fei, causing him to chuckle awkwardly, "Wife, you didn’t want Ling Weiwei back? If you had told
earlier, I wouldn’t have had to go through so much trouble to bring her back."
"I didn’t an it like that. She initially told
she wouldn’t co back. You made one trip and she ca back. I’m really impressed, hubby." Mu Shanshan spoke.
Lin Fei took off his clothes, got into bed, embraced Mu Shanshan, and asked, "Impressed with what?"
"Impressed with your charisma. Why do so many won like you?" Mu Shanshan asked.
"Because your husband has charm." Lin Fei answered casually.
"Indeed charming. You probably don’t know, I called Ling Weiwei many tis, asking her to co back, she refused each ti. But just in one afternoon, you solved this matter." Mu Shanshan said, closing the book in her hands and placing it beside the lamp.
Lin Fei froze for a mont, realizing what was up with Mu Shanshan, "Wife, are you angry?"
"No, why would I be angry?" Mu Shanshan replied.
Lin Fei hugged Mu Shanshan tightly and said, "Shanshan, actually when you were calling Ling Weiwei, she was already packing. When I went, she had just finished handling all her docunts and ca back with . Don’t overthink it."
Mu Shanshan laughed and said, "So where is Weiwei now?"
"At Shen Xuan’s place."
"Got it, have Weiwei co to work tomorrow, I find his explanations much clearer than yours." Mu Shanshan laughed.
"True~" Lin Fei turned off the light...
The next day, after Lin Fei had breakfast, soone from the Xia Family imdiately ca with a ssage, asking Lin Fei to go over.
Lin Fei consulted Xia i for her opinion; she said whatever Lin Fei decides is fine. Lin Fei wanted to resolve this matter completely, so he didn’t hesitate, and agreed, bringing Xia i to the office of Xia Jiahe.
"Mr. Xia, long ti no see."
Lin Fei pushed open the office door, seeing Xia Jiahe sipping red wine early in the morning. Lin Fei smiled and said.
"Indeed, long ti no see. Things have changed as you said." Xia Jiahe responded. He understood the implication in Lin Fei’s words, even if Lin Fei didn’t say it directly.
Lin Fei sat down with Xia i opposite Xia Jiahe and said, "Mr. Xia, you want Xia i and
to go to the Murong Family together? I know a bit about the Murong Family, ultimately proving that you want Xia i sent right into the fire pit, am I right?"
Xia Jiahe swirled the red wine in his hand and said, "Yes, then what? The Xia Family is in crisis right now, she’s part of the Xia Family, shouldn’t she step up?"
"Step up?"
Lin Fei smiled, "If your Xia Family relies on others to step up, sacrificing won for developnt, I have nothing more to say."
Xia Jiahe furrowed his eyebrows; he recognized Lin Fei’s sarcasm, but he didn’t care. To him, Lin Fei just wanted to talk his way out. He said, "How the Xia Family developed to this point is not your concern. You just need to know you have no choice. Though the Xia Family can’t rival the Murong Family, you still can’t escape. You don’t have the right to choose now!"
Indeed, Lin Fei currently lacks status. The country’s support is only in secret. Open public support could lead to chaos, so Lin Fei must rely on himself to survive now.
If Lin Fei had a strong backing, he would earn people’s respect. But now, he has no such backing. Even in Ancient Martial, he’s only been practicing for a few months. A true master would be beyond Lin Fei’s reach.
With a wave of a hand, Lin Fei could be obliterated. This was evident in the Beidou Sect on Manshan; if not for the Dou Sect elder’s intervention, Lin Fei would have been killed by Qiudao Leng long ago.
Strength!
What Lin Fei lacks now is strength; he needs power to protect his family, friends, and loved ones!
"I understand, but today I’m here to speak for Xia i." Lin Fei glanced at Xia i, who nodded. They had agreed beforehand that Xia i would follow Lin Fei’s arrangents, and Lin Fei had her agreent for this issue.
"What do you want to say? Go ahead." Xia Jiahe saw all this as Lin Fei’s final words, so he didn’t mind, waiting for Lin Fei’s struggle patiently. At the Murong Family, he believed soone there would deal with Lin Fei properly.
Looking at Xia Jiahe, Lin Fei felt this old guy was initially not bad but beca worse, showing his true nature. Lin Fei knew when family interests and safety were involved, Xia Jiahe acted without bottom line, which disgusted Lin Fei.
"I want to say sothing for Xia i. On this trip to the Murong Family, Xia i will have nothing to do with the Xia Family. You’re sending her into the fire pit, and once inside, you won’t have any right to involve in whatever happens. Whatever Xia i chooses to do, it’s unrelated to you." Lin Fei said.
"And then? Are you sure Xia i feels that way, willing to abandon her family?" Xia Jiahe asked.
Lin Fei sneered, "Indeed, she was raised by the family, but you’re using her as a tool, a bargaining chip for the family’s survival! This trip to the Murong Family is one of no return and may even harm your family. What I’m doing seems beneficial to the Xia Family, doesn’t it?"
"It does benefit the Xia Family. You thought things through, Lin Fei. Xia i, what do you think?" Xia Jiahe smiled, looking at his eldest daughter.
