Villain Seized the Assassin Heroine at the Start!

What Xia He and Dong Xue at the side had in their minds, naturally couldn't escape Li Mubai's notice.

He could see Xiao Qingcheng's face turning into a deeper shade of red.

Geez...

Well...

This pair of beautiful twins were indeed two-faced!

It seemed like he needed to find some time to punish them once in a while. They couldn't be so impolite all the time...

*****

Two hours later.

Li Mubai was sitting in the living room, carefreely holding the beauty in his arms and staring at a middle-aged man who was standing before him.

Xiao Hailong, who had been waiting for a long time, was now shivering.

Even if Li Mubai told him to sit down for a talk, he wouldn't dare but stand.

He had even lowered his head down, not daring to take another look at him.

After all, as he wasn't clear of Li Mubai's intention yet, he would never dare to even slightly offend Li Mubai.

"Speak, Why are you looking for me?"

As Li Mubai didn't want to prolong his conversation with him, he asked rather bluntly.

"Young Master Li, It's actually like this. Xiao Qingcheng, this impolite girl had offended you. My Xiao family must also be blamed for it. So, I am here on behalf of the Xiao family to apologize to you..."

Xiao Hailong said, handing over a stack of documents that were in his hand.

These documents were half of the assets of his Xiao family.

Everything including hotels, buildings, estates... and even the Qingcheng Group were now handed over to Li Mubai for nothing.

Of course, in Li Mubai's eyes, such assets weren't really much.

Excluding the huge business empire of his Li family, his mother alone had a trillion-dollar company.

What Xiao Hailong now offered him was nothing different from pocket money for him.

But for the Xiao family, it was extremely painful.

Though it was painful for them, they had no choice but to hand them over to Li Mubai.

After all, if Li Mubai didn't let their Xiao family go, they couldn't even hold onto their half of the remaining assets!

"Alright. I have already promised Xiao Qingcheng not to pursue your Xiao family's matter any longer. If there's nothing more, you may take your leave..."

Hearing these words, Xiao Hailong heaved a sigh in relief.

With Li Mubai's assurance, the Xiao family could now easily tide over their crisis.

"Young Master Li, this girl Qingcheng isn't that thoughtful. I am afraid that she couldn't properly serve you. My Xiao family has many beautiful women. If Young Master Li is interested, you are always welcome to pick two women as your maids.

"This is to show the sincerity of my Xiao family..."

Xiao Hailong added.

"Huh?"

A playful smile crept onto Li Mubai's face.

As to what Xiao Hailong offered him, he couldn't wait to grab it.

Rather than taking the initiative to send them to his door, Xiao Hailong let Li Mubai pick them by himself.

His intention was to make Li Mubai pay a personal visit to his Xiao family.

He wanted the other major big and small families in the Jinghai to let know the news of his Xiao family holding onto Young Master Li's thighs.

If Young Master Li himself paid a personal visit to their doors, it would make them feel that the Xiao family had a good relationship with the Li family!

In that case, the effect would be much better than if they personally sent the maids to Li family's door.

"Um... I will pay a visit in my spare time..."

Li Mubai let out a faint smile but didn't expose his intention.

As he had already promised Xiao Qingcheng, he, naturally would not go back on his word.

But if this Xiao Hailong could take the initiative to come send gifts to him, and even come up with such a method, it seemed that the Xiao family under him would rise back from the dead to a higher level.

Li Mubai couldn't help but take another look at him.

Though his temperament was bad, he, as a person, wasn't really that bad of a person.

If it was Xiao Hailong that sent him the maids to his door, what if they're not the most beautiful women in his Xiao family?

He might not pick the right woman for him.

This feeling of picking goods Tsk... was what Li Mubai was quite looking forward to.

"Please accept my deepest thanks, Young Master Li!"

Xiao Hailong was met with a pleasant surprise. After excusing himself, he respectfully took his leave.

No matter what, Young Master Li wasn't interested to make a move against his Xiao family.

With Li Mubai's assurance, the other families in Jinghai would not throw stones at his Xiao family who had fallen down a well and wouldn't dare act too excessive in public.

His Xiao family this time could easily get through the current crisis.

...

"Um..."

He took a casual glance at the property right documents that Xiao Hailong handed over to him.

To his surprise, Xiao Qingcheng's Qingcheng Group was also included in the list. Li Mubai couldn't help but let out a faint smile. He then tossed the documents onto the coffee table.

It didn't escape Xiao Qingcheng's eyes resting in his arms.

Her eyes turned desolate.

Qingcheng Group, her heart's-blood[1], was handed over to Li Mubai.

She couldn't stand it...

Xiao Qingcheng herself was aware that Li Mubai never really treated her as his woman.

The way he sees her was rather... that of a...

Doll...

*****

Ring Ring Ring...

In the Evening.

Li Mubai was busy gazing at the nightscape when his phone rang.

"Um..."

It was his sister, Li Qingyao, that was calling him.

He and his sister were twins.

Both of them had just turned twenty this year.

They were studying at Jinghai University, their sophomore year had just ended.

Now it was summer vacation.

Unlike Li Mubai, who was only invested in enjoying his life drinking and was a playboy, his sister Li Qingyao was rather hard-working.

Whenever she had some spare time, she would either follow their grandpa to train in Martial arts or follow his mother to the company to learn how to manage things there.

Her potential wasn't that bad. Her Martial arts and Business management accomplishments weren't low!

If it were not for the fact that the heir of the Li family must be passed onto a male, Li Mubai was certain that his grandpa would announce Li Qingyao as the upcoming heir!

Of course, what Li Mubai wasn't aware of was that his grandpa and his family were indeed 'training' Li Qingyao to become the heir of the Li family...

"Hello?"

Li Mubai picked up the phone.

"Brother~ Brother~ What are you doing?"

A refreshing pleasant voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Ahem..."

Li Mubai almost choked on a mouthful of glass water that he had taken.

There must be something wrong with his sister, right?

He couldn't help but reply. "Hmm... I'm gazing at the scenery in the night."

"Is that so?"

Although the voice on the phone sounded a bit strange, Li Qingyao didn't think much about it. And, then she uttered something that made Li Mubai spit out a mouthful of water that he had just taken. As Xiao Qingcheng happened to turn back, it was sprayed onto her face.

Li Qingyao's clear and pleasant voice came at the other end of the phone.

"Brother, are you free this Sunday?"
