Watching the old man who had suddenly aged more than ten years, a hint of reluctance and pity flashed in Er Zhu's eyes.
She could naturally acquire the Xiao Tian family's business, but he had to go home immediately!
Because the Liao family had already made their move!
And they had even joined forces with the Ito family!
A flash of inspiration flickered in Er Zhu's eyes as he looked in the direction of the capital.
"You... if you feel the Xiao Tian family isn't enough, I can give you Keiko!"
Seeing Er Zhu's silence, Xiao Tian You Liang thought his bargaining chip was insufficient and quickly added.
Although such an act was disgusting, for the future of the Xiao Tian family, he could no longer care about such things!
"No, something has happened in the capital, so I can't acquire it for now."
Hearing this, Er Zhu waved his hands repeatedly, stating the truth.
Outside the door, Xiao Tian Keiko was eagerly eavesdropping at the door. She thought Er Zhu would agree, but she didn't expect to hear such an answer.
The light in her eyes instantly dimmed. Xiao Tian Keiko clutched the hem of her clothes, tears welling up.
Er Zhu saved her today. She thought he had developed feelings for her, but she didn't expect it to be her own wishful thinking...
Never mind, perhaps she shouldn't have had any expectations in the first place.
After all, Er Zhu was already engaged...
She cast a deep glance at the door of Er Zhu's bedroom and walked tearfully towards her own room.
Inside, Xiao Tian You Liang was unaware of this, but Er Zhu saw it all clearly.
However, he didn't chase after her, nor did he offer any explanation, because in his opinion, it was unnecessary!
"Oh, then when will you be free to acquire it?"
Xiao Tian You Liang's voice drew Er Zhu's gaze back. He extended two fingers and slowly said, "In two months!"
Seeing Er Zhu's calm demeanor, Xiao Tian You Liang nodded heavily. After another round of profuse thanks, he finally left.
After seeing Xiao Tian You Liang off, Er Zhu sat in the room and focused on his cultivation.
The Land of Wa was surrounded by the sea on three sides, so the spiritual energy was more abundant than in the capital. In the short month he had been in the Land of Wa, his spiritual energy had increased significantly!
At the same time, he had also cultivated his Feng Shui secret art to its highest level!
Without exaggeration, he was now the strongest Feng Shui master in the world!
A ray of sunlight shone on Er Zhu's resolute and handsome face. He slowly opened his eyes and put away the peach wood sword and Minghong saber placed in front of him.
At this moment, the peach wood sword was completely enveloped by spiritual light, and the saber spirit of the Minghong saber was even more powerful!
If he encountered danger, Er Zhu wouldn't even need to make a move; the Minghong saber could fly out on its own!
"Er Zhu, are you awake? It's time for breakfast!"
As soon as Er Zhu put away the peach wood sword and Minghong saber, he heard a knock on the door and Xiao Tian Keiko's voice.
Er Zhu didn't speak. He opened the door and walked to the dining room with Xiao Tian Keiko.
Just as Er Zhu was eating breakfast in the Land of Wa, Li Mei, a thousand miles away, had already finished her breakfast.
She was dressed impeccably today, preparing to attend a business banquet.
Although the host of the banquet was only the head of a second-rate wealthy family, Li Mei was exceptionally happy because she was attending in her own capacity, unrelated to Er Zhu!
"Hmm, like this... I shouldn't embarrass Er Zhu, right?"
Looking at herself in the mirror, who was like a celestial being, Li Mei nodded with satisfaction, picked up her handbag, and headed for the door.
Since Xiao Tian Keiko had returned to the country, Li Mei's personal bodyguard had been changed back to a man, which made her feel unaccustomed. However, thinking that it was only temporary, Li Mei didn't pay much attention.
"Go to Ziyue Hotel."
Sitting in the luxury car, Li Mei, imitating the demeanor of a strong businesswoman, gave instructions.
The driver nodded repeatedly, and the black luxury car sped away like an arrow loosed from a bow.
Within minutes, Li Mei arrived at Ziyue Hotel. Looking at the majestic hotel, Li Mei seemed to see Er Zhu.
She hadn't seen Er Zhu for a month. She wondered when he would return?
"This kind of hotel is not for people like us to covet. Let's go in quickly."
Hearing her friend Xing Ningning's voice, Li Mei withdrew her gaze, smiled, and linked arms with Xing Ningning.
Xing Ningning was the daughter of the Xing family, a first-rate wealthy family in the capital. She was Li Mei's business partner and her best friend.
However, because Li Mei didn't want to rely on Er Zhu for everything, Xing Ningning didn't know about Li Mei and Er Zhu's relationship.
"I'm telling you, the owner of this Ziyue Hotel is Wang Er Zhu. You'd better not have any ideas about it."
Xing Ningning, thinking of her friend's expression just now, warned her sternly.
Wang Er Zhu was the richest man in the capital, someone even she looked up to!
Moreover, Li Mei was merely the owner of a shopping mall. Her assets were less than a drop in the bucket compared to Wang Er Zhu!
"Hmm, I was just looking. Let's go in."
Seeing her friend's worried and nervous expression, Li Mei didn't expose the truth. She smiled slightly and pulled Xing Ningning towards the hotel.
If she didn't know that Er Zhu owned this hotel, she wouldn't have bothered to look.
At the banquet, Li Mei's appearance instantly attracted the attention of many people, especially the men. They stared at Li Mei like hungry wolves seeing food!
"Stay close to me and don't get lost."
Xing Ningning naturally saw the predatory gazes. She pulled Li Mei to her side and whispered a reminder.
"Okay." Li Mei also seemed to sense danger. While warily observing the people around her, she dialed her bodyguard's number.
With Er Zhu away, it was indeed dangerous for her to navigate the business world alone, but she believed she could do it!
"Miss Xing, is this beautiful lady your friend? Could you introduce us?"
Xing Ningning was about to pull Li Mei to a corner to sit down when they were stopped.
Looking at the rich young master in front of her, who looked like a degenerate gentleman, Xing Ningning felt disgusted.
She knew this person. He was Zheng Hecheng, the eldest son of the Zheng family, a first-rate wealthy family in the capital.
The Zheng family was originally a second-rate wealthy family in the capital, but with the help of the Ito family and the Liao family in the capital, they had become a first-rate wealthy family!
None of this was important. What was important was that this Zheng Hecheng was a beast!
He changed women almost daily, and had a record of five women and one man!
"I think it's unnecessary. My friend is just an ordinary person."
Thinking of this, Xing Ningning shook her head slightly and was about to leave. But how could the lustful Zheng Hecheng let her go so easily?
"Miss Xing, if you want me to withdraw my investment, then you don't have to introduce her!"
Zheng Hecheng's grip on Xing Ningning's arm tightened. Although there was a smile on his face, his eyes were full of threat!
Xing Ningning wanted to break free, but thinking of the Zheng family's power, she could only suppress her anger and dare not speak out!
"My name is Li Mei, General Manager of Mingyu Commercial Plaza!"
Seeing her friend in a difficult situation, Li Mei quickly stepped forward. Although she was a little scared, her eyes were exceptionally firm!
