Chapter 850: I Will Never Be Your Enemy
“How are things going on the Young Commander’s side? Have they caught the people who attacked you in the mountains yet?”
It definitely wasn’t easy being close to Mu Feichi. His enemies knew how important Yun Xi was to him, and thus she had become a prime target.
His enemies, knowing that this girl was his weakness, could use her to get close to him and also they could target her just to get at him. Her road in the future was going to be full of difficulties.
Dangers and scheming plots always surrounded Mu Feichi, and it was definitely not going to be easy to live with all this trouble.
For Yun Xi, if she doesn’t have some tricks up her sleeve or lots of ability, it might be challenging for her to survive in this circle.
Yun Xi shook her head gently and smiled. “We’re not in any rush to capture them. They are bound to show up again since they haven’t achieved what they wanted.”
“Then, do be careful. If you need my help, just let me know. Jing Yi will make any arrangements that you might need.”
Yun Xi nodded and looked at him with grat.i.tude. “Thank you! I will let you know if I need help.”
Although it felt as though Jiang Qilin kept his interests and abilities hidden, when compared to Jiang Henglin, he was definitely a better person in terms of character.
Yun Xi took a glance at the therapist and Jing Yi and said, “I would like to speak to Young Master Jiang privately. Could you both leave us to talk for a minute?”
The therapist read the situation well, and he took a look at his watch and said, “I will make a trip to the supermarket. Miss Yun, please pa.s.s me the list you made for the Young Master, and I will buy the necessary ingredients.”
“All right. Sorry to trouble you.” Yun Xi took the two lists she had made and pa.s.sed them to him.
Jing Yi did not leave. Instead, he helped Jiang Qilin back to his chair and gave him a towel to wipe his face.
“Young Master Jiang, I have never treated you like an enemy, so there are some things that I don’t want to hide from you.”
Jiang Qilin nodded in surprise, as he had not expected her to talk about it. But, though surprised, he still had some idea of what she wanted to talk about. “I am clear about the situation in Jingdu.”
“It’s still quite a balanced situation between the four richest families. I hope that you will be the one to inherit the Jiang family in the future, and I don’t want to be your enemy.”
Yun Xi’s words held out the hope and expectation for him to stand again and take the helm of the Jiang family in the near future.
Jiang Qilin understood what she meant. He had a chance to stand again because of her. However, if he was the one to take charge of the Jiang family in the future, his legs need to be treated by her first.
All of this could only be possible because of her, his benefactor. So naturally, he would not make an enemy of her.
“I am going to be able to stand again because of you, so no matter what you want to do, I will never be your enemy.”
This would be his promise to her and also his way to show his grat.i.tude for her.
“My father will be partic.i.p.ating in the election this year. I hope he can win.”
“I can help with that. Among the people I know, there are some who can help him move up the ranks.”
Yun Xi shook her head and looked at him with all seriousness. “No, there’s no need for the Jiangs to come forward. The Young Commander will settle all that. I am talking about the Qiao family.”
“The Qiao family?” Jiang Qilin now felt as if he had suddenly gotten a little confused by her. Why did she out of the blue start talking about a family that doesn’t really share much of the limelight?
“The Qiao family has been rising fast recently. Haven’t you noticed?”
Jiang Qilin nodded and drank some water from the cup Jing Yi had given to him. “I have noticed. Even though they are not rising too quickly, the members of the Qiao family are smart, so it is not a good sign.”
“The Han family hasn’t been behaving very well recently, so it’s hard to say if any other family could replace them. I am not going to hide it from you. The Young Commander hopes that the Zhao family could come into power.”
“The Zhao family?” Jiang Qilin immediately knew which Zhao family she was talking about. He laughed softly and looked at her with a thoughtful look in his deep eyes. “The Young Madame of the Zhao family seems to be around the same age as you are.”
