Chapter 15

Qu Zhen was completely fooled by Qu Xiaowan. “So, the two of them are really in love?”

Qu Xiaowan continued to bluff. “Yes, so let Xiaoman marry Yi Han. This is good for everyone. If Xiaoman marries for love, the cooperation between our families can continue. As for me, it’s not a big deal to be a little aggrieved or embarrassed. After all, Xiaoman is my sister.”

Qu Zhen saw the change in his daughter’s eyes and suddenly felt that he had misunderstood his daughter. He hurriedly said, “Xiaowan, I’m sorry. Dad has always wronged you! I’ll tell the Yi Family now.”

Qu Xiaowan’s eyes turned red. “Go, Daddy. Don’t affect our family’s business. Also, Xiaoman is a little shy. She doesn’t want me to make sacrifices for her. Daddy, you’d better discuss with the Yi Family directly and settle their marriage. Then, you can inform Xiaoman. She will definitely be very happy.”

“Alright, I understand.” With that, Qu Zhen hurriedly left.

Then, Qu Xiaowan calmly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Old Master Qu smiled and asked, “Xiaowan, are you really willing to give Yi Han to someone else?”

Qu Xiaowan said calmly, “If he’s really a good person, I won’t give him to anyone else! He’s a scumbag. However, it’s not certain if Yi Han will agree to marry Qu Xiaoman. It’s not easy for the Yi Family to seize the opportunity and they won’t give it up so easily, so we should be prepared.”

“Alright, contact that person as soon as possible,” said Old Master Qu.

“I got it…” replied Qu Xiaowan.

After returning to her room, Qu Xiaowan pressed her palms together and prayed piously. “I hope I’m overthinking. This big shot definitely has nothing to do with Jing Yu!”

Blackie asked in confusion, “Mistress, isn’t it easier for you to get the other party’s help if you’re related?”

Qu Xiaowan sighed. “But I don’t know if I’m an enemy or a friend in Jing Yu’s heart!”

Blackie asked, “Friend or foe? Aren’t you his wife?”

Qu Xiaowan was speechless. “I can’t explain it to a single AI like you. Let’s go all out. We have to resolve the matter of the ingredients as soon as possible.”

Their Qu Family would be too passive if they waited for the Yi Family to take action!

Then, Qu Xiaowan called the contact that her grandfather gave her.

Jing Yu was in a meeting. He glanced at everyone coldly. “This attack proves that there are varying degrees of problems in the interior of the 10 districts. Next, everyone will be in charge of one district and begin a strict screening. The spy must still be among them! No one is allowed to rest until the spy is found!”

“Yes!” Everyone nodded solemnly.

The other party could actually reach into the interior of the 10 districts. If they did not clean it up as soon as possible, it would probably be even more troublesome in the future!

At this moment, Jing Yu’s communication device rang. He frowned and looked unhappy.

The adjutants held their breaths and looked at their commander nervously. The commander was in a very bad mood now. The person who was calling him was really unlucky!

Azure Dragon whispered into Jing Yu’s ear, “Master, Madam is calling the backup number you left for the Qu Family previously. I wonder if Madam knows what you did previously. Do you want to answer it?”

Jing Yu’s expression was normal. He looked up and said to everyone, “Meeting adjourned.” Then, under everyone’s surprised gazes, he entered his private lounge.

Jing Yu unbuttoned the collar of his military uniform, revealing his Adam’s apple. Then, he said, “Connect it.” After saying that, he added, “Don’t project it.”

Azure Dragon answered, “Yes!”

On the other side, Qu Xiaowan, who was lying on the bed, was swinging her feet in boredom. She organized her words in her heart. She was prepared to ask why the other party helped the Qu Family in the first place. That was very important! But more importantly, it was best if the other party had nothing to do with Jing Yu!

After that, she had to convince the other party to help their family tide over the difficulties. It would be reasonable even if she had to pay some remuneration. As long as the other party’s request was not too much, she would agree to it.

The call was connected at that moment. Qu Xiaowan hurriedly sat up from the bed, but she realized that the other party did not turn on the projection. She thought that since the other party was a big shot and worked in the palace, he might be more cautious.

Qu Xiaowan said respectfully, “Hello, I’m Qu Xiaowan from Qu’s Restaurant. Thank you very much for your help to the Qu Family previously.”

Jing Yu looked at the girl who appeared on the screen. She was wearing a dress and her long hair fell over her shoulders. She looked gentle and obedient, not like the kind of person who would casually find someone to marry. He asked Azure Dragon to turn on the voice changer. His low voice was now a little hoarse. “It’s nothing.”
