Chapter 911: 1 Everything is under control
Xiao Jincheng had considered Lilith's words, but considering Xiao Mingyang's current situation, he said, "It's really unfair for you to marry your current fate."
Hearing this, Lilith raised her head and said nonchalantly, "To do great things, you always have to make some sacrifices. Besides, this isn't much of a sacrifice, it's just an extra title. As long as I can legitimately take charge of the Xiao family, I don't care what I do!"
"I'm glad you think that way. But as for Mingyang...ah..." Xiao Jincheng seemed to feel sorry for him, saying, "He's a useless person now. It's a pity to waste such a smart brain. It would be great if I could use it."
Hearing Xiao Jincheng say this, Lilith clenched her hands and said with a hint of resentment, "It's all because of that calamity, Lin Yuqing, that Mingyang has come to this point today! I will never let her go!!"
"I know you hate Lin Yuqing, but she is now protected by Zhang Kaifeng. If you want to touch her, you have to consider the cost."
Xiao Jincheng's words reminded Lilith of the time when she was being hunted by Zhang Kaifeng. She never wanted to recall that embarrassing moment again. But she was unwilling to let Lin Yuqing go.
Xiao Jincheng seemed to be able to read Lilith's thoughts. He coughed twice and said with a smile, "As long as you survive, you'll have a chance to take revenge sooner or later. Why bother with the present moment? That woman, Lin Yuqing, is just a dodder that clings to men. If you chop down his tree, you'll naturally get rid of her!"
Hearing this, Lilith suddenly looked up at Xiao Jincheng and said, "Grandpa, didn't you tell me to stay away from him last time? Why are you asking me to get rid of Zhang Kaifeng now?"
"The situation is different now. If you are willing to marry Mingyang, then you don't have to worry about the disintegration of the Xiao family. You can completely rely on the power of the Xiao family to deal with Zhang Kaifeng. Maybe I will no longer be alive by then, but with the strength of the Xiao family, we can definitely fight against Zhang Kaifeng."
Xiao Jincheng's words excited Lilith, and this excitement made her want to smoke a cigarette, so she turned around and took one out of her bag. But when Lilith saw Xiao Jincheng's disapproving look, she suddenly realized where she was and hurriedly put the cigarette back into her bag.
Although Lilith controlled her desire, she couldn't control her hands, which were trembling slightly.
Seeing Lilith like this, Xiao Jincheng frowned and said, "Have you been smoking a lot lately? You didn't have this problem before."
The urge to tremble grew stronger, and Lilith managed to say, "I've been under a lot of pressure lately, and busy with company matters, so I've developed this habit when I'm tired. Don't worry, Grandpa, this is just ordinary white smoke."
Lilith's nonchalant look made Xiao Jin even more worried. If he were a decade younger, he would definitely be able to smell something extra in the cigarette. Unfortunately, his nose was no longer able to smell anything.
"You're still young, don't let this kind of thing ruin you."
Lilith didn't understand the hidden meaning in Xiao Jincheng's words and thought he was making a big deal out of nothing. It was just smoking. How many people in the Xiao family didn't smoke?
Although she felt disdainful in her heart, Lilith still said obediently: "Grandpa, don't worry. I can quit this thing if I want to. You don't have to worry."
After looking at Lilith deeply, Xiao Jincheng did not continue the topic.
Waving to Lilith, Xiao Jincheng said, "My dear, since you are planning to be with Mingyang, you don't have to worry too much about the company. If possible, you and Mingyang can have another child. Then your position in the Xiao family will be more stable."
Her face flushed red as she said, "Grandpa, if Mingyang and I are planning to have a child, can he stop taking the medicine now?"
"Why not?" Xiao Jincheng was near death, but his smile was still devilish. He said, "Although he's almost completely destroyed now, I asked Join, and he said this medicine will only damage Mingyang's brainstem nerves but won't affect his sperm quality. Don't worry, you can still have a healthy child."
The smile on her lips was a little stiff. Lilith said, "Grandpa is really prophetic. He can control Mingyang and benefit the Xiao family. But the medicine is still very expensive. Since we have already controlled Xiao Mingyang, why waste money?"
Xiao Jincheng seemed to think Lilith's words made sense. "Indeed, Join said those medicines are not only expensive, but also difficult to obtain. So, do you suggest that we stop giving Mingyang the medicine now?"
Calming down her excitement, Lilith said, "I think it's almost time. I just need to find a suitable time to hold Mingyang and I's wedding, and then I can fulfill Grandpa's wish!"
After coughing twice, Xiao Jincheng smiled and said, "You and Mingyang have already held a wedding. If you hold another one, I'm afraid people will laugh at you."
"But that doesn't count. Mingyang ran away from the wedding!" Lilith's face turned ugly when she thought of that wedding. "Every time Mingyang and I just made some progress, he would disappear inexplicably, leaving me alone to face the rumors. Grandpa, I want to vent my anger and let others see that Xiao Mingyang is finally mine!"
"But judging from Mingyang's current performance, it will be difficult for him to complete your request."
Hearing this, Lilith was stunned for a moment, then fell silent for a moment before saying, "Grandpa is right. I should focus on the overall situation. Weddings and such are not important at all."
Seeing Lilith fall silent, Xiao Mingyang patted her hands and comforted her: "I know you have been wronged, but believe me, as long as you are loyal to the Xiao family, 100% loyal, you will get everything from the Xiao family!"
I don’t know if Lilith was overthinking it, but when Xiao Jincheng said the second half of the sentence, there was a strange light in his eyes, which made Lilith feel guilty, as if all the secrets in her heart had been seen through by him.
Lilith lowered her head to adjust her breathing, then looked at Xiao Jincheng again and found that there was only a kind light in his eyes, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.
Trying to make her smile natural, Lilith said, "Lilith's life belongs to Grandpa, so of course I will be loyal to the Xiao family."
"Okay, very good," Xiao Jincheng said reluctantly, his coughing getting more and more intense. "I already know what you mean. I will make arrangements for you. You can go back now."
"Then Mingyang..."
"I'll let him out and tell everyone he has a strange disease. You can just take care of him from now on."
"Thank you, Grandpa!" Lilith was delighted. She helped Xiao Jincheng lie down again and left Xiao Jincheng's room.
As soon as Lilith left, Xiao Jincheng snorted coldly, then called one of his men and whispered a few words in his ear.
Upon learning that he could regain his freedom, Xiao Mingyang stared at the other person blankly and asked, "Then where should I live?"
