"And what I just said isn’t merely talk, Grandfather, Grandpa, you should know I have the ability. If my eldest uncle, my eldest maternal uncle, or my dad, any of them has an interest in that position, then I have the capability to push them to it."

After hearing Situ Xin’s words, Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo looked at each other, both aware that the current situation was not the best for either the Situ Family or the Loo Family. However, they were not selfish people, nor were they ambitious; therefore, they had never considered replacing the person above them.

But they also knew that Situ Xin’s method could help the Situ Family and the Loo Family get out of the current deadlock.

"Baby, let me discuss this matter with your grandpa. After we’ve made a decision, we’ll inform you," Old Master Loo said to Situ Xin.

"Right, right. We also need to ask your eldest uncle, your eldest maternal uncle, and your father what they think," Old Master Situ also chimed in.

"Okay, go ahead and talk. Just let me know the final decision."

Cao Mengqi had been anxiously waiting in the dormitory for Liu Yuhan’s news ever since she went to the hospital to inform her about her parents’ situation.

However, she had received not a shred of news from Liu Yuhan all day long. What she didn’t know was that after returning to the Xiao Family, Liu Yuhan had been stunned by the revelation that her father had a mistress and an illegitimate child outside, taking a while to come back to her senses. Then, her Grandfather, Old Master Xiao, came home fuming, and before she could even ask for his help, she was scolded by him and told to stay at home and reflect.

Worried about her parents’ situation, Cao Mengqi decided to pay a visit to the Xiao Family herself when she did not hear from Liu Yuhan.

No sooner had Cao Mengqi stepped out of the dormitory than a girl called out to her, "Cao Mengqi."

"Fu Xiaoyi? What do you want with me?" Cao Mengqi stopped in her tracks and turned to see it was a classmate of hers. Although Mengqi didn’t interact much with Xiaoyi, she often heard gossip about her involvement with several men, some of which were from Capital City’s elite red second and third generations. Cao Mengqi looked down on Fu Xiaoyi, knowing well that those elite men considered her nothing more than a mistress.

Fu Xiaoyi, seeing the contempt in Cao Mengqi’s eyes, sneered inside. She knew Mengqi looked down on her, but Mengqi had no idea how different their fates would be. If not for the desire to retaliate against Situ Xin, why would she ever approach Mengqi? "Of course, I called you because there’s a matter. Why would I bother otherwise?" Fu Xiaoyi said with a disarming smile, "I’m just kindly letting you know that your parents’ troubles were orchestrated by Situ Xin."

Having said that, Fu Xiaoyi didn’t wait to see Cao Mengqi’s reaction and simply turned, walking past her.

Fu Xiaoyi came to know of this matter thanks to her latest benefactor. While he discussed affairs involving the Xiao Family with his friends, he mentioned how Xiao Yanlei and Liu Yuhan got into trouble with Situ Xin, leading to their downfall.

Upon hearing Liu Yuhan’s name, and remembering they were in the same class, Fu Xiaoyi inquired further and learned the whole story.

Though Fu Xiaoyi feared Situ Xin inside, her heart was still filled with hatred. Unable to retaliate against Situ Xin herself, she thought of using others to trouble her.

"Situ Xin." After Fu Xiaoyi left, Cao Mengqi kept muttering Situ Xin’s name. She never imagined that her parents’ troubles would be connected to Situ Xin. Even after that day, when Mengqi realized that Situ Xin was no ordinary person, she never associated her parents’ predicament with Xin.

The more Cao Mengqi dwelled on Situ Xin’s name, the deeper her hatred grew. Blinded by hate, sense abandoned her, and her mind became consumed with taking revenge on Situ Xin. Since it was Situ Xin who had her parents taken by the disciplinary commission, then she would not let Xin off easily.

Cao Mengqi sprinted toward the school gate.

"Yo, isn’t that little sister Mengqi?" As she ran out of the school gate, Cao Mengqi heard a flippant voice coming from a Mercedes sports car.

Gasping for air, Mengqi followed the voice and saw a man whom she had met while out exploring Capital City with Liu Yuhan after they arrived. Back then, the man, who looked a bit sleazy, had tried to initiate a relationship with her, obviously not of an innocent nature. At the time, having her heart set on Tian Jinlei, she flatly rejected him.

Mengqi looked at his leering face, recalling Yuhan telling her that his family background was no less prestigious than that of the Xiao Family. At that thought, a reckless idea bubbled up in her mind, and she felt she had found a solution.

Walking up to the sleazily smiling man, Mengqi said, "Young Master Huang, hello,"

"Yo, little sister Mengqi, why so polite today?" This sleazy man, Huang Qi, came from an Aristocratic family in Capital City. His family’s Old Master was a stern military man like Old Master Situ, having also been on the battlefield and fought enemies. However, unlike the Situ or Xiao families, none of Huang’s descendants proved to be as exceptional with only his youngest son having some achievements; the other two were nothing but playboys. As a result, the Huang family’s influence in Capital City had significantly waned.

"Young Master Huang, do you have a moment? I need to talk to you," Cao Mengqi said, taking a deep breath and looking at Huang Qi.

"If little sister Mengqi is seeking me out, I’ll have to cancel any plans I have. Come on, get in the car. We’ll find a place to have a nice chat," said Huang Qi, emphasizing the word ’chat’. Looking at Mengqi, he mused to himself that he hadn’t expected her to come to him willingly one day.
