"The Lei family is going to lose."
Xiao Jingxi's words that his business had nothing to do with him interrupted Ren Yaoqi's thoughts.
Ren Yaoqi raised his head subconsciously and retorted, "That's not necessarily true."
Xiao Jingxi smiled and looked at Ren Yaoqi with great interest: "Oh?"
"Even if someone comes to the Liu family, Mrs. Lei Tai has passed away. There is a saying that there is no proof in death." I have to admit that Mrs. Lei Tai's death really gave the Lei family a chance to breathe.
It's a pity... it's just a chance to breathe.
Sure enough, Xiao Jingxi raised his eyebrows: "Do you really think that Han Dongshan, who has traveled so far to find the Liu family, will give up because of Mrs. Lei Tai's death?"
Naturally not.
Ren Yaoqi also knew in his heart that Mrs. Lei Tai's death only temporarily disrupted the deployment of the Han family. Moreover, the Liu family came to make a fuss, and the rumors of the Lei family were flying all over the sky. When the Han family finds an opportunity to attack the Lei family in the future, the Lei family will really be finished.
But Ren Yaoqi didn't speak, she looked at Xiao Jingxi, not sure what the purpose of him sitting here today.
Xiao Jingxi noticed her gaze and smiled slightly at her.
Ren Yaoqi was stunned for a while, then rolled his eyes subconsciously.
"How about we make a bet?" Xiao Jingxi suddenly said slowly.
"Betting?" Ren Yaoqi was a little surprised, "What does Young Master Xiao want to bet?"
Hearing this, Xiao Jingxi turned his head and glanced at Xiao Jinglin who was sitting on the side drinking tea silently: "Originally I wanted to play with you, but now it seems... then I can only change the way of gambling. already."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xiao Jinglin.
Xiao Jinglin didn't change her face: "You have never lost a game of chess, the game is not fair. I can't just watch you fish the common people."
Therefore, the Princess Xiao, who hated playing chess the most, expressed respectfully that he could play a warm-up game with Xiao Jingxi first, and then find an opportunity to bury the chess pieces.
Xiao Jingxi: "..."
Ren Yaoqi looked at the appearance of the two of them, probably understood what was going on, and couldn't help but smile at Xiao Jinglin.
"If you can win this round, how about I let the Lei family replace the Han family?" Xiao Jingxi casually threw a big bait.
Sure enough, this condition surprised Ren Yaoqi, and the surprise was not a shock but a surprise.
But soon Ren Yaoqi calmed down and fell silent.
This gamble is really tempting. If the Yanbei Palace chooses the Lei family between the Han family and the Lei family, it will undoubtedly be beneficial to her. Zeng Kui hadn't come to Yanbei yet, she had to settle the matter of the Han family before he came.
The Han family and the Lei family were fighting endlessly, and when the Lei family had the upper hand, it would be difficult for the Han family to use the Zeng family to deal with the Ren family.
But is Xiao Jingxi's game easy to take
The last time the two played against each other, she also relied on the sword to sway to a tie with him. If today is a game of chess, she is really not sure that she can beat Xiao Jingxi.
Although she couldn't play chess because of Xiao Jinglin's spoiler, but she could win in another game? She never underestimated herself, but if her opponent was Xiao Jingxi, she really had no chance of winning.
Even Mr. Pei admitted that he had suffered losses at the hands of Xiao Jingxi.
Seemingly noticing Ren Yaoqi's hesitation, Xiao Jingxi thought for a while, and then comforted in a gentle tone: "Well, if you lose, I won't interfere in the affairs of the Han family and the Lei family, and let them separate themselves. Win or lose. And you... you promise to do one thing for me, within your ability, and if you can't do it, I allow you to refuse. Think about it carefully, even if you lose, you don't There is a big loss."
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while and felt that Xiao Jingxi's words also made sense.
Originally, Xiao Jingxi didn't intend to interfere in the affairs of the Han family and the Lei family, and the result would not get worse if she lost. As for what to do with her, Ren Yaoqi didn't think Second Young Master Xiao would be short of someone to do things for him, so to Xiao Jingxi it was just a dispensable luck, she believed that he would not embarrass her, a weak woman .
"If I lose, you can also send me something." Xiao Jingxi continued to throw bait with a smile.
Xiao Jinglin sat on the side and listened, thinking that this game sounded fair for the time being, so she continued drinking tea without interrupting.
This time, Ren Yaoqi was not dazzled by Xiao Jingxi's smile. After all, now is not the time to appreciate beauty.
So she thought about it for a long time, and then asked seriously: "Young Master Xiao just said that if I win, you will let the Lei family replace the Han family. Can your meaning represent the meaning of the Yanbei Palace?"
Xiao Jingxi was stunned when he heard the words, then he stroked his forehead and smiled: "You really...you won't suffer at all."
Ren Yaoqi looked at him but smiled.
Perhaps this kind of gambling was just a whim for Xiao Jingxi, but it was very important to her. So even if she believed in Xiao Jingxi's character, she admitted that this person had a good-looking smile, but she would not jump into any of his language traps.
Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi and smiled lightly: "My words can't represent the Yanbei Palace, but I never break my promise."
Ren Yaoqi finally smiled and blinked: "Okay, then I believe you."
Xiao Jingxi choked when he heard the words. He was so old that he had never heard anyone say "Okay, then I believe you" to him with such a tone and expression.
However, Ren Yaoqi could not see the tangled mood under Young Master Xiao's perfect expression, and asked, "What are we betting on, Young Master Xiao, please ask the question?"
Xiao Jinglin on the side couldn't help but laugh, looked at Ren Yaoqi and then at Xiao Jingxi, and continued drinking tea.
Ren Yaoqi laughed horribly at her sudden smile: "County Lord, what are you laughing at?"
Xiao Jinglin put down the teacup and was meaningfully silent for a moment, then said, "It's nothing."
Ren Yaoqi: "..."
Xiao Jingxi: "..."
In fact, Xiao Jinglin really didn't think anything strange, she just felt that someone who seemed unfathomable and invincible in the world could not scare away all opponents by pretending.
At least there is one person in front of him who doesn't eat his way, and this person is still her friend. Princess Xiao just felt happy.
Of course, she didn't think that her happiness was a schadenfreude. County Master Xiao has always felt that he is righteous and upright, and his ideals are lofty.
As for someone who is too smart, she has been under pressure from all aspects since she was a child, so she now hopes that the other person can be deflated. After examining herself, County Master Xiao said with integrity that this would never happen to her.
Business matters, Xiao Jinglin did not affect the two who were negotiating after all.
"The gamble is, this time you think of a way to help the Lei family get through this disaster." Xiao Jingxi said slowly.
Ren Yaoqi: "..."
Ren Yaoqi felt that she should have realized it long ago.
She is not someone who will make her suffer, is that Xiao Jingxi
This gamble does seem to have no loss to her, but it has no loss to Xiao Jingxi.
As long as the Lei family survives this calamity, they will be able to gain the upper hand, and the Yanbei Palace finally chooses the Lei family as a matter of course.
To put it bluntly, the real connotation of this game is that she worked hard to help the Lei family get out of danger, break out of the siege, and let Yanbei Wangfu pick up a good pawn that is strong in the outside and hard in the middle. Then Second Young Master Xiao reluctantly granted her a small wish.
Even the coal kiln of the Ren family did not sign such a shameless sale contract.
Although Ren Yaoqi had already decided to help the Lei family on the way, but now seeing Xiao Jingxi's appearance, he couldn't help but want to grit his teeth.
Fortunately, she has excellent cultivation, so Wen Yan just looked at Xiao Jingxi and smiled.
After a while, he said, "Is Xiao Gongzi interested in doing business?"
Xiao Jingxi raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "It's a good idea, but unfortunately my family won't agree."
Ren Yaoqi nodded, his tone was very regretful: "It's a pity, your abacus is so good, it's too condescending to not be in business."
Xiao Jingxi: "..."
Xiao Jinglin laughed.
Xiao Jingxi shook his head with a wry smile, thought about it, and compromised: "Okay, then let's change the game."
He didn't intend to really bet on this with Ren Yaoqi. No matter how smart and keen Ren Yaoqi is, she is just a boudoir girl, even younger than Xiao Jinglin. The current situation of the Lei family even Lei Ting was devastated, she couldn't handle it.
The girl who didn't want to sit across from him smiled, shook her head and said, "No need, we'll bet on this."
If she bet anything else, she is not sure she will win.
And she doesn't believe in the beauty of the pie in the sky, even though she and Xiao Jinglin are friends, she doesn't think that Xiao Jingxi will help her regardless of gain or loss for this reason.
People who have experienced helplessness and isolation, as long as they survive in the end, they will not be weak, and they have also learned to be self-reliant at critical moments.
Xiao Jingxi was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure?"
Ren Yaoqi didn't answer immediately, but lowered his head and thought.
Xiao Jingxi was not in a hurry and sat opposite to wait for her to understand.
In fact, Ren Yaoqi was wrong about one thing. Xiao Jingxi was willing to give her some help if he could, after knowing that Han Yunshan and the Ren family really had grievances.
It's a pity that one of these two people has never enjoyed the selfless help of others, and the other is not skilled in the kindness of unconditional help.
"I want to know about the Lei family." Ren Yaoqi said.
Xiao Jingxi thought for a while, then turned his head and instructed Hongying: "Let Tongde come in."
