With the unexpected factor of Xia's father resolved, Song Qiao voiced the doubts in his heart.
"Yuqing, when did you acquire the Xia family?"
"You managed to do it so secretly!"
Xia Yuqing tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and said with a smile,
"Actually, Xia Feng's partnership with you was arranged by me."
Song Qiao wasn't surprised by this. Otherwise, why would Xia Feng have come to him directly right after Shao Hua rejected him?
"As soon as Xia Feng finalized the cooperation with you, I guessed that old man would definitely not be willing to accept it!"
"He would definitely jump out to obstruct your cooperation."
"To ensure the smooth progress of the cooperation, I had no choice but to acquire Xia's Group to guarantee your partnership."
Xia Yuqing's words implied that she had done all this for Song Qiao.
Gao Meng already detected a hint of sourness.
What man could refuse a woman who silently supported him?
Especially a woman who had already broken up and remained friends?
"Thank you for helping me resolve this big problem this time!"
"It's nothing."
"You helped me so much before, this little thing is not a problem!"
Xia Yuqing smiled sweetly.
Earlier, Xia Yuqing had faced Xia's father's attacks without any panic, as if she knew Mo Ling would intervene.
Song Qiao inquired,
"Xia Yuqing, was Mo Ling also invited by you?"
Mo Ling answered first,
"Yes, Xia Yuqing called me here."
To get Mo Ling to act, there were likely conditions involved.
"Mo Ling, you've helped me so much today. Is there anything you need me to exchange for?"
Mo Ling didn't stand on ceremony and nodded.
"I have only one request!"
"The first batch of medicine goes to the Imperial Capital's War Department Hospital!"
"You can decide the rest yourselves!"
Mo Ling's condition was not unreasonable, and Song Qiao did not refuse.
After all, the launch of the hemostatic powder was inseparable from the Imperial Capital.
No, where did Xia Yuqing get so much money to acquire the Xia family?
Song Qiao suddenly thought of this question and quickly asked,
"Yuqing, acquiring the Xia family must have cost a considerable amount of money."
"Where did you get so much money?"
"You didn't do anything..."
"No!"
"What are you thinking?"
Xia Yuqing gave Song Qiao a sidelong glance for his inappropriate thoughts.
"Don't ask about where the money came from for now!"
"Anyway, the problem is solved for you!"
Xia Yuqing, as always, smiled sweetly and kept him in suspense.
After not seeing each other for a while after the New Year, the two had been catching up.
Gao Meng, left to the side, pouted.
A man's words are deceitful!
When Song Qiao kissed her, he hadn't said the same thing.
Gao Meng grew angrier as she thought about it.
"Mo Ling, those three moves you made earlier were excellent!"
"Fast, accurate, and deadly!"
"It seems you've learned to control your aura!"
"Very good, very good!"
Mo Ling was pleased with her master's praise.
"This is all because you taught me well, Master!"
"I was just following your instructions."
Mo Ling smiled gently. After a brief exchange, she left.
"Today was truly full of twists and turns!"
As Song Qiao spoke, his gaze kept drifting towards Xia Yuqing.
"Yuqing, it's been a long time. I've noticed quite a few changes in you?"
Song Qiao was referring to changes, and seeing his intent gaze, Xia Yuqing knew what he meant.
"Your thigh and gluteal muscles are noticeably more developed than before."
"These are the marks of martial arts training."
"Moreover, your body proportions are even more perfect than before, tsk tsk."
"Who is your master?"
Xia Yuqing hadn't expected Song Qiao to observe her so meticulously.
"No!"
Xia Yuqing lowered her head and said shyly.
"This is also a secret!"
After not seeing her for a while, Song Qiao was surprised by the changes in Xia Yuqing.
Fortunately, Xia Yuqing seemed unharmed and hadn't been bullied.
"Yuqing, since it's inconvenient for you to say, I won't pry."
"However, when you're out alone, you're bound to encounter things you can't handle."
"If you encounter any difficulties, be sure to let me know. Don't try to bear it all alone!"
"Mhmm!"
Xia Yuqing met Song Qiao's gaze, which was still as clear and bright as ever.
Why was Song Qiao still concerned about her?
Xia Yuqing couldn't be sure in her heart, nor did she have the courage to ask.
Seeing the atmosphere between the two warming up, Gao Meng stepped forward and said,
"Yuqing, it's been a long time. Let's go for a meal later!"
"Let Song Qiao treat!"
"We must rip him off this time!"
"He's a big boss now!"
Gao Meng linked arms with Xia Yuqing, afraid that Song Qiao would snatch her away.
"Gao Meng, are you jealous because I'm being nice to Xia Yuqing?"
"I am not!"
"You are the one who is jealous!"
Gao Meng turned her head away, too guilty to look at Song Qiao.
"You're going to be away from me for ten to half a month, and I can't wait to hold you in my arms and caress you fiercely!"
Song Qiao made a move to pull Gao Meng back.
If it weren't for Xia Feng still being in the office,
Gao Meng and Xia Yuqing wouldn't have doubted that Song Qiao could pull off a scenario with two women.
The two women exchanged a glance and quickly ran away.
"Xia Feng!"
"Since the Xia family has been acquired, I have another favor to ask of you."
"Please, Mr. Song."
"I want you to take over the Xia family's martial arts school again."
"When I have time, I'll bring Gao Meng to practice."
He was giving me another asset for free?
Xia Feng's heart rejoiced. He was right to follow Mr. Song!
Mr. Song has such great vision!
"I am most willing, Mr. Song!"
