Beauty and the Bodyguard

House Xiao’s Decision

“This little b*tch! Pretending to be a pig trying to devour a tiger? I won’t allow you to escape this easily!” Gou Huli finally understood why manager Wong took out the shirt from the display, how could she not sell the shirt when the Miss of Pengzhan industries requested it?

Gou Huli walked out of the property company, ignored the guard completely, went into her car and started calling her husband again, pissed.

“What do you want again?” Xiao Ji picked up the phone, rather irritated. He regretted his previous decision of bringing Gou Huli into his house. When she was still his mistress, things like this had never happened before.

“Husband, I finally found out their true identities. One of the cleaners is really the owner of the villa, her name is Chu Mengyao, the Miss of Pengzhan industries!” Gou Huli said.

“See, didn’t I tell you? What cleaner, how did you offend her?” Xiao Ji furrowed his eyebrows. “Pengzhan industries? Isn’t that Chu Pengzhan’s business?”

“Was this Chu Pengzhan powerful?” Gou Huli sensed the uneasiness from her husband’s voice as she asked cautiously.

It’s not considered powerful but Pengzhan industries are one of the renowned big companies, now that you have offended them, we have made ourselves another enemy!” Xiao Ji was displeased. “Call me later, I’ve to ask Xiao Ben about this case.”

“Okay!” Gou Huli didn’t dare to comment as she quickly ended the call. She didn’t put Pengzhan industries in her eyes, she thought that even if Pengzhan industries was one of the renowned big companies, it was not a big deal. They could very much use this opportunity to display their strength and gain a higher position!

After Xiao Ji ended the call, he told Xiao Ben the fight Gou Huli started in Songshan city. He wanted to discuss and plan his next step with his brother. Although Xiao Ji was the elder brother, the decision-maker was Xiao Ben! Xiao Ji’s character was more careless compared to Xiao Ben who used his brain to think and plan.

“Brother, what do you think of this? How should we solve this problem?” Xiao Ji told Xiaoben everything from arriving Songshan city to offending the Miss from Pengzhan industries. “It was your sis-in-law’s fault, getting into trouble on the first day….”

“Oh? Got into trouble?” Xiao Ben shook his head and smiled lightly. “This trouble is perfect, House Xiao is still a stranger in this foreign soil. Making friends with House Kang is not enough! Many big companies still haven’t heard of House Xiao’s reputation and this trouble is the golden opportunity for us to show our prestige. Since sis-in-law has found us one, shouldn’t we be happy about it?”

Xiao Ben was taken aback, puzzled. “Brother, you mean, we are making Pengzhan industries our enemy?”

“Not really.” Xiao Ben waved his hand. “But we will make them bleed and force them to give us some benefits. What’s the point of making them our enemy? When House Xiao hasn’t had a place to stand right now, and House Xiao is still in a mess both domestically and abroad. It’s not an ideal time to make enemies just yet! What we should do at this moment is to pressure them to compromise with us, make them pay us a fortune and force them to give us some share of their properties. This could help House Xiao to prevent starting right from scratch!”

“Brother, your idea is so well-planned! Not only can House Xiao get some benefits out from it and we could also avoid starting a war with Pengzhan industries!” Xiao Ben nodded but he still had doubts in mind as he asked. “But will Pengzhan industries bend so easily?”

“Hmph! Putting House Xiao’s big name in front, what can they possibly not bend down to power? Besides, we can say that Chu Pengzhan didn’t put House Xiao in his eyes as he allowed the kids to bully sis-in-law! If they refused to pay or give us some benefits, even better, we can have Uncle Pi to visit them!” Xiao Ben snorted a cold breath. “This daughter of Chu Pengzhan is just too cocky, hahaha, this is a golden opportunity to blackmail them!”

“Brilliant!” Xiao Ji suddenly felt confident when Xiao Ben mentioned Uncle Pi in their plan! He heard that Chu Pengzhan had a bodyguard, his name was Li Fu but he was just peak late phase golden class physical master. He was nothing to Uncle Pi as their strength was a whole division of difference! Now that they had Uncle Pi, he believed that Chu Pengzhan would have nothing to say anymore!

House Xiao was one of the noble houses, after all, how could they allow a mere businessman to bully them? These people would never know House Xiao’s true strength if their strength wasn’t displayed properly!

“Okay, we should go pay House Kang a visit first.” with just a few words, Xiao Ben settled the whole issue Xiao Ji was concerning about, this made Xiao Ji at ease as his problems were all solved at once. Formally, he thought that his wife was a trouble maker, making enemies on the first day she arrived in Songshan city and the arising trouble would affect House Xiao’s development! But his brother effortlessly settled the case from bad news to great news. En, he thought that his wife wasn’t actually half bad, either! Being overbearing earned them some benefits. When he reached home, he should properly praise his wife for real and encourage her to continue her immovable tyrannical behavior!

“Uncle Pi is still not here yet?” Xiao Ji looked at the watch and asked.

“I’ve already sent people to pick him up in the hotel, without Uncle Pi, I’m afraid that Miracle Doctor Kang this cunning old fox will play tricks with us. House Kang’s and House Xiao’s relationship isn’t that close anymore.” Xiao Ben sighed.

House Kang’s attitude made the Xiao brothers worried.

The Xiao brothers knew what House Kang was plotting. Their aim was unquestionably obvious. The so-called marriage was just a bridge for them to reach the title of the noble house, but since House Xiao was slowly crumbling recently, House Kang didn’t see House Xiao as useful anymore!

After House Xiao sold all their business in Yanjing city, they decided to move to Songshan city was all due to this marriage. First, they wanted to urge this marriage to come true as soon as possible. Second, Songshan city was a small city. The competition wasn’t as big as Yanjing!

The Xiao brothers had nowhere to advance in Yanjing. Their old friends that their grandfather made in the old days didn’t want to be involved with them. Even House Yu refused to see them as a noble house now! All in all, this was all due to not having a person who could stand up and lead the house as House Xiao had no masters!

They might have Uncle Pi, a mystic class master existence but he was just a figure of worship in their house. He couldn’t be considered as House Xiao’s true strength. House Xiao was a business based house formally, but during the glorious and prosperous days, their old man had Uncle Pi’s full support so they were blessed and granted a noble house title.

However, now that the Xiao brothers no longer had their grandfather around, Uncle Pi’s attitude towards them had changed. Hence, House Xiao became weaker and weaker days by days! Xiao Ji and Xiao Ben regretted their actions for not practicing martial arts when they were young. If they had at least one or two golden class masters in the house, things wouldn’t be this dire!

But they were unable to bear hardships as a practitioner has to go through a lot of trials and tribulations in order to gain strength. They thought that their grandfather and Uncle Pi would always be around and House Xiao would never fall into poverty. But it was too late for regrets, nothing could be changed at this point!
