The same night, a piece of news set the entire Jinghai on fire.
Li Mubai, the Young Master of the Li family, announced his withdrawal from his marriage contract with Xiao Qingcheng!
He was no longer willing to marry the Miss of the Xiao family.
Later, the Li family even used several means to suppress the Xiao family.
The companies under the Xiao family were thoroughly investigated overnight!
Their funds were frozen!
Their banks were making calls to ask for the taken loans!
Their supplier wasn't willing to cooperate with them!
The payments couldn't be resolved!
At this time, everyone guessed that it was only a matter of time before the Xiao family perishes!
No one could dare offend the Li family and continue to live in Jinghai!
If they did offend, their death would be even more painful than street dogs.
All this time, the Xiao family relied on the marriage contract with the Young Master of the Li family.
No matter what the Xiao family did, many families and companies had no choice but to give some face. But they were filled with rage deep inside.
If the Xiao family's Young Miss really married the Li family's Young Master, they had no choice but to swallow their past sufferings!
But now that the Young Master of the Li family himself retired from the marriage contract, they could now do their share of suppressing the Xiao family.
Everyone with keen eyesight already guessed that it must be Xiao family's Xiao Qingcheng who had somehow offended the Young Master Li.
So many people with grievances followed suit as they wanted to express their sincerity before Li Mubai.
***
The Xiao family.
After hearing this piece of news, everyone in the Xiao family was horrified.
They didn't even know what caused this to happen.
They tried calling Xiao Qingcheng over the phone, but no one was picking it up on the other side.
After all, Xiao Qingcheng, at the other end, was quite 'busy' at the moment...
Naturally, she didn't have any spare time to pick up the phone.
When everyone was filled with anxiety, at last, the Li family butler, Uncle Yan himself personally came to their door.
It was only then that everyone in the Xiao family came to know what had really happened.
They gradually found that it was Xiao Qingcheng that sent an assassin to kill Li Mubai as she wasn't willing to marry him!
After hearing this piece of news, everyone in the Xiao family was enraged!
How dare Xiao Qingcheng do that?!
No one in Jinghai could bear the consequence of trying to assassinate Li Mubai!
No one could afford to do such a thing!
The old man of the Xiao family felt dizzy and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
He was the one that had promised Xiao Qingcheng that as long as she led the Qingcheng Group to become a hundred billion company in a year's time, he would risk his old face and find a way to withdraw from her marriage contract with Li Mubai.
But how could she decide to assassinate Li Mubai?!
Everyone in the Xiao family couldn't help but curse.
They cursed that Xiao Qingcheng must either be blind or her head was kicked by a donkey!
The Li family's Young Master had such a noble status. They were many celebrities and young ladies lined up, but couldn't even get to meet him once.
However, Xiao Qingcheng had the opportunity to marry Li Mubai. Instead of cherishing it, she was opposing her marriage contract with Li Mubai!
Not only that...
She went as far as sending an assassin to assassinate the Young Master of the Li family!
Seeing how everyone in the Xiao family reacted, Uncle Yan had a faint smile.
Then he took his leave.
After all, this was what Li Mubai instructed him to do.
He wouldn't dare to completely suppress the Xiao family.
If not, the Xiao family would already have perished by now.
***
The next day.
Li Mubai was busy reading a novel by the swimming pool.
Xiao Qingcheng anxiously walked in.
With her face filled with resentment, she looked at Li Mubai and said. "Young Master Li, didn't you promise me not to reveal this matter? Why... Why did you make a move on my Xiao family?..."
Last night, she could only go to bed in the middle of the night to sleep.
As she was just an ordinary person, unlike Li Mubai who had an Innate Realm cultivation base, she had slept until now.
But as soon as she woke up, her phone was flooded with many text messages and phone calls.
Opening the news, she found that much of the news was filled with various Xiao family scandals and her family being on the verge of bankruptcy.
As for the top one, there was a headline: "Li family's Young Master withdrew from the marriage with Xiao family's Young Miss Xiao Qingcheng who doesn't even know what was good for her!"
In an instant, she figured out that it was the Li family that had made a move!
Li Mubai deceived her!
"Ugh, what did I promise you?"
Li Mubai looked at her with amusement.
"You promised me that you would never make a move against my Xiao family!"
Xiao Qingcheng said gritting her teeth.
"Did I?"
Li Mubai shook his head and replied nonchalantly. "What I said was that if you can serve me well, I would think about it... which you never did!"
"You are shameless!"
Xiao Qingcheng's face turned red with shame.
Her most precious things were snatched by Li Mubai.
However, in the end, nothing had changed!
Li Mubai never really cared about her. He didn't even want to look after her.
"Li Mubai, you are a bastard!"
Xiao Qingcheng could no longer hold it within her.
The grievances that she had suffered in the past few days couldn't help but burst out at this moment.
She ran out of the villa in tears speeding towards the foot of the mountain!
"Young Master, should we stop her?"
Xia He and Dong Xue who were next to Li Mubai asked him.
"No need."
Li Mubai had a faint smile. With his eyes full of indifference, he said. "She will return back here and beg me on her knees..."
