When Morrison saw Qi Feng deep in thought, he did not disturb him. He just gestured at the chauffeur beside him who immediately understood and started the car.

The car slowly drove away from where it was, pa.s.sing underneath the dense shade of the trees. Qi Feng’s eyes s.h.i.+fted from dark to light. Apart from glumness on his handsome face, they could not read his emotions but could feel the faint gloom from him.

The air in the car felt stifling. Beside him, Qi Weier, who was beside him, had already fallen weakly asleep against Qi Feng. Qi Weier had autistic tendencies, so she would not usually speak. In a short while, she succ.u.mbed to sleep.

Qi Feng remained silent. After the car had driven for quite a distance and it felt like it had been a century-long, he lifted a hand to ma.s.sage the s.p.a.ce between his brows and his raspy voice finally said, “I’ll let you handle it then. Don’t leave traces of anything that can be used against us.”

“Okay, I was just waiting for your word, First Master. I’ll contact the men to get this done right away. Also, it’s best if you be prepared. Once this information gets out, Qi Kai’s shares will definitely be affected. It must immediately be followed up with a solution,” Morrison reminded.

With a sigh, Qi Feng nodded silently. “Don’t worry. Before we came back, they hinted about my marriage with Shasha. When the Qi and Gu family are connected by marriage, we can definitely take down those forces. Then, Qi Kai’s shares will only keep going up.”

Morrison instantly smiled and said a little mysteriously, “Looks like you and me are on the same page, First Master. That way, talks for City B’s project will definitely collapse and Qi Lei will really fall from grace. Then, no one can save him. Even if those old stubborn ones are capable, they’ll have no choice! When the time comes, and First Master, since you’ll be connected to the Gu family by marriage, hence stabilizing the entire Qi Kai. You’ll be able to call the shots in Qi Kai, you won’t have to suffer from any more threats, and you’ll be vindicated!”

“Mmm, when the time comes, arrange an idle position for him, then send him abroad for the sake of what’s left of this kins.h.i.+p.” One could hear the mixed emotions in Qi Feng’s raspy voice.

“First Master, you don’t have to be too worried. A great man has to be ruthless. Haven’t he and w.a.n.g Qin been scheming against you before this? Legitimacy belongs to the victor. Even though some kins.h.i.+p seems important, it could be as thin as paper. Benefits are the only thing we should be going after for eternity.”

A light flickered in Morrison’s eyes. He seemed to have already seen the way the whole of Qi Kai would be controlled by Qi Feng while he would be his most important trusted aide!

“You play by ear then. I’d like to sleep for a while. Wake me up when we reach home,” Qi Feng coldly instructed, then slowly shut his eyes almost a little melancholically.

“Okay!” Morrison answered before he took the laptop from the side to open before beginning to delegate the work.

…

The scorching sun that had dazzled for an entire day finally faded away together with some of its heat in the evening, being washed away in the spectacular evening breeze. The faint sunset looked rather gentle.

On a certain pathway of the sightseeing river by the riverside, at the operation base of South River Project No. 1, Xi Xiaye had both hands on the railing before her as she looked at the gleaming reflection of the river surface. Bathed in this quiet and peaceful sunset evening breeze, she had become much more relaxed.

Her long hair gently swayed in the wind, and her slender body seemed like it was becoming frailer.

Mu Lings.h.i.+ stood behind Xi Xiaye, watching her for a while before walking over.

“Sister-in-law!” Mu Lings.h.i.+’s voice was a little raspy. She stopped beside Xi Xiaye and put both her hands on the railings too.

“You’re here!” Xi Xiaye gently answered as she turned to look silently at Mu Lings.h.i.+.

Indeed, she saw that she looked wan, sallow, and sad. Her eyes contained no light either, and you could tell that she had been in pain these past few days.

“I thought you wouldn’t come.”

Xi Xiaye said calmly as she sighed, “You don’t look well. You don’t look like a new bride at all.”

A pale smiled flashed across Mu Lings.h.i.+’s sickly and sunken face. “I’m fine. I’ve been dazed for quite a few days now, but today I’m feeling better. There’s no way I’d reject my sister-in-law asking me out.”

“The way you are right now is very worrying. Ah s.h.i.+, are you still in pain over that matter?” Xi Xiaye lowered her voice and asked calmly.

Mu Lings.h.i.+ interlocked her fingers and gently held them together as she looked down silently at the surface of the river moving up and down. The refracting light shone on her frail face. She was quiet for a while before suddenly looking up. Taking a deep breath and blinking her eyes that could not help but become wet, she said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Sis-in-law, I’m fine. I just feel a little sad, but don’t worry too much about me. In a few days, I’ll be fine.”

When Mu Lings.h.i.+ finished, it made Xi Xiaye’s heart hurt even more. She felt a headache come on. Her gaze that was as calm as the breeze fell on her sister-in-law’s face, and she could clearly see the faint tears at the corner of her eyes. In the end, she could not help but advise, “Don’t be sad. Remember what your brother said, okay?”

Mu Lings.h.i.+’s eyes turned hot and she quietly shut them, nodding hard, yet the bitterness in her throat surged up wave after wave to the extent that she could not neglect the ripples of pain in her chest.

“I know, Sis-in-law. Father, Mother, and our grandparents, you and Brother, all love me. However, the regretful thing is to them, Lingtian and I were just disposable burdens. My mother didn’t seem to care for us while my father didn’t want to acknowledge us either. As I think more and more about it, sometimes I don’t know who I am anymore.”

“I used to want to find this person and had always hoped to get their recognition, but in the end, I only stabbed my heart with a knife, then suffered the consequences of my own actions by sprinkling more salt on my wound,” Mu Lings.h.i.+ expressed difficultly. The moisture in the corner of her eyes refracted the faint colors underneath the tender rays from the remnants of the sun, yet to Xi Xiaye, it seemed oddly disheartening.

Xi Xiaye calmed herself for a while before thinking about it, then she answered softly, “Everyone’s living for themselves, or perhaps for someone else. Just think those people that aren’t worthy of your concern like they are the wind. It’s in the past, so let it be. You don’t need anyone’s recognition. As long as you give yourself that, that’s enough.”
