Leng Qiuge has a dramatic confrontation at the departure lounge, confessing her feelings for Lin Tong's husband, Ye Xuan, and simultaneously apologizing to Lin Tong for her past actions. To everyone's surprise, Lin Tong appears unfazed, suggesting she will overlook the affair as long as it remains discreet. Leng Qiuge then apologizes for abandoning her friend, and Lin Tong eventually accepts her apology, shifting the focus to Leng Qiuge's work responsibilities.

Three seconds of heartfelt sympathy for Liu Ge’s family were offered.

However, the many figures seated in the waiting hall were once again astonished upon witnessing the close interaction between Lin Tong and Leng Liuge.

They were truly at a loss for words.

Unbelievable!

Two peerless beauties had slept with the same man, and yet they could still get along so amicably, with it all out in the open?

Was there something wrong with their heads? Or had their worldview completely shattered? Could it be that they were afflicted with some unspeakable illness, and since their time was limited, they no longer cared about such matters?

But...

Even if they were sick, they were still peerless beauties!

Countless envious gazes were cast towards Ye Xuan; if looks could kill, this man who was still half-asleep would have met his demise long ago.

Brother, with such stunning women in your possession, you are truly the happiest man alive!

You really should die!

Just die already, so even if they are sick, we would be happy to take over!

There were always those who wished for Ye Xuan’s demise.

Alas, the power of those individuals was limited; they could do nothing but watch with envy, jealousy, and hatred towards Ye Xuan’s seemingly blissful life.

Ye Xuan continued his nap, conserving energy to serve Liu Ying, Su Yumo, and Lu Miaochan with the vigor required upon their return to East Sea.

It is hard being a man, especially difficult for me...

As the broadcast in the waiting room echoed, the flight to Yan Country began its preparations for takeoff. Ye Xuan, in a daze, walked towards the boarding gate, settled into a comfortable first-class sofa, buried his head in sleep, and knew nothing more.

How Lin Tong and Leng Liuge reminisced and continued to build their sisterly bond was their own affair; Ye Xuan solely focused on enjoying his accumulated blessings.

Before losing consciousness, the thought of living with several peerless beauties every day filled Ye Xuan with a mix of happiness and apprehension.

This arrangement was far more convenient than before, but the physical burden was considerably heavier!

Restraint, I must exercise restraint; I cannot let them have their way too much, or I shall regret it in my old age!

...

Heavy snow was falling in Yanzi City.

In just a few short days, the Wang Family, who had been dominant not long ago, had descended into terrible chaos and complete disorder.

A severe economic crisis struck, threatening their very existence and leaving Wang Qianjun with no peace of mind to continue recovering in his sickbed.

Upon waking again and receiving a few nutritional injections, Wang Qianjun propped up his weakened body and got up to head towards the Liu Family.

With enemies attacking from all sides and the Leng Family stepping in to exploit the Wang Family's most perilous times, even at the cost of their own interests, only the Liu Family remained capable of stabilizing the situation for the Wang Family.

Liu Wudi of the Liu Family had expanded their business severalfold; although Liu Qiankun, after seizing control by killing his brother, was not as formidable as Liu Wudi, he possessed the advantage of being cunning and shrewd, quietly accumulating great wealth.

The Wang Family lacked money, while the Liu Family lacked influence—this was the fundamental reason they had initially insisted on forming an alliance and establishing marital ties.

If the Liu Family were willing to lend a helping hand, Wang Qianjun was confident that the Wang Family could certainly survive the crisis. Even though dealing with Ye Xuan was impossible in the short term, it was still far better than the complete collapse of the entire family, wasn't it?

For a prestigious Family like the Wang's, once they collapsed, it would mean more than just becoming commoners.

That would be a catastrophic disaster!

An hour later.

Wang Qianjun arrived at the Liu Family’s doorstep. His stooped and frail figure trembled as he stepped out of the car, appearing utterly emaciated, as if a mere gust of cold wind could topple him.

This was no pretense; after enduring consecutive blows over this period, he was genuinely mentally and physically exhausted, on the verge of collapse at any moment.

"Master..."

Wang Qianjun’s attendant hurried over to support him.

Wang Qianjun waved his hand, shaking his head and saying, "It's just a few steps, I can manage."

The two walked into the Liu Family residence.

Liu Qiankun, who had been waiting, immediately approached warmly to greet Wang Qianjun upon seeing him.

Liu Qiankun supported Wang Qianjun, expressing concern, "Brother Wang, you are not well; for any matter, a simple phone call asking me to visit you would have sufficed. Why insist on coming here yourself? What if something were to happen, how guilty would I feel?"

Wang Qianjun inwardly sneered. How could Liu Qiankun possibly be unaware of such a significant issue by now? If he had genuinely cared, he would have sought me out long ago. Yet, over these past few days, Wang Qianjun had received no indication of concern from Liu Qiankun.

"Brother Liu, you jest; it is convenient to travel these days, no trouble at all!" However, on the surface, Wang Qianjun still maintained a civil demeanor.

There was no alternative; he was there to seek assistance.

"Well, since you are here, let us not dwell on hindsight."

Liu Qiankun extended a hand, gesturing, "Come in, Brother Wang, it's quite chilly out there, please come inside to rest."

Shortly after, the four guests were ushered into the residence.

There was no one else present within the premises.

Once Wang Qianjun settled himself on the sofa, bypassing any pleasantries from Liu Qiankun, he stated directly, "Brother Liu, you must be fully aware of my Wang Family's current predicament; the situation is dire, so let's be upfront: the Wang Family requires the Liu Family's assistance."

Liu Qiankun gave a light chuckle, "Ever since I took charge, the Wang Family and the Liu Family have maintained a cordial relationship; now that the Wang Family faces difficulties, the Liu Family naturally feels compelled to offer support."

"Brother Liu is indeed forthright, which makes discussing this matter much simpler," Wang Qianjun replied with a smile. "The Wang Family is in urgent need of two billion to merely stabilize our current situation; I wonder if..."

Before Wang Qianjun could complete his sentence.

"Two billion?"

Liu Qiankun’s voice rose in surprise.

Wang Qianjun faltered, his brow furrowing instantly.

Liu Qiankun, recovering from the initial shock, put on a somewhat strained expression. "Brother Wang, two billion is hardly a trivial sum."

Wang Qianjun pressed, "Then, what sum do you believe Brother Liu can provide?"

Liu Qiankun pondered for a moment before raising a single finger.

Wang Qianjun inquired, "One billion?"

Liu Qiankun shook his head, responding, "Brother Wang, you are placing too much faith in my capabilities. To be perfectly honest, the Liu Family's businesses have not been performing exceptionally well either. Even if we were to liquidate all our assets, we could only muster approximately ten million for the Wang Family..."

"Ten million?"

Wang Qianjun was taken aback.

I'm requesting two billion, and you're offering ten million?

With the Liu Family's known wealth, liquidating everything to obtain a mere ten million – who would ever believe such a claim?

This was nothing short of a blatant insult!

Nevertheless, Wang Qianjun wasn't entirely surprised by this outcome.

He swiftly regained his composure, letting out a cold laugh. "Truly, this world grows colder by the day, and people's hearts seem to have soured. Liu Qiankun, when your Liu Family sought our patronage, you certainly didn't adopt such an attitude."

"Brother Wang, as you rightly pointed out, that was in the past," Liu Qiankun replied calmly, unmoved by the accusation. "Circumstances have shifted dramatically; with the Wang Family's fortunes dwindling, the Liu Family obviously wouldn't jeopardize its own stability to assist you, would they?"

Wang Qianjun countered, "Do you genuinely believe that if you stand by and watch, and the Wang Family collapses, the Liu Family's prosperous days will continue indefinitely?"

"Considering the demonstrable power of Ye Xuan, it's quite plausible that without the Wang Family's support, the Liu Family would find itself vulnerable and isolated," Liu Qiankun mused with a slight smile. "However, what if, subsequent to the Wang Family's downfall, the Liu Family were to swiftly absorb all of the Wang Family's assets and connections? In essence, the Liu Family would then completely supplant the Wang Family. The newly established Liu Family would undoubtedly surpass the former Wang Family in grandeur. In such a scenario, Brother Wang, how long do you imagine the Liu Family's good fortune would truly last?"

Wang Qianjun's pupils constricted.

For an astute individual, lengthy explanations are seldom necessary; with Liu Qiankun articulating his intentions to such a degree, Wang Qianjun grasped the full implications.

If the Wang Family were to crumble, the Liu Family, leveraging its considerable financial strength, could rapidly seize all of the Wang Family's assets. Possessing even greater capital, factions like the Zhao Family or the Holy Mansion would naturally gravitate towards supporting the Liu Family. At that point, the Liu Family could effortlessly step into the Wang Family's vacated position.

Such ambition was truly audacious, bordering on reckless!
