Xie Limo spoke softly, Thats why the Xie family had tried to expand overseas in the last centuries and established its headquarters outside the country. Such a country is not suitable for a powerful household like the Xie family to thrive.

Then why is the Wang family still in the south?

It is precisely because the Wang familys business foundations had always been in the country that had limited their progress. Now, the Wang family has also slowly turned their attention towards the overseas market. However, they had lost the best opportunities. Since the Xie family placed its emphasis on the headquarters overseas, it had also neglected the control it has over Country A. This has resulted in it slowly losing power over the South. Many officials and royal families then tried to escape out of the Xie familys control, claiming that they called the shots.

Yun Bixue listened to Xie Limos explanations and pondered. Furrowing her brows, she said, Havent they thought that without the Xie family controlling the south, it would have been in a mess with so many noble families and powers fighting with each other? Survival is an issue, let alone progress.

You might be able to think so calmly and rationally, but not the noble families. In the midst of peace, their greed would only grow exponentially.

Yun Bixue nodded. Turning her head slightly, she looked at Xie Limo and said, There wont be any making without breaking. Since theyre so greedy, they must be planning to do something in secret. As long as we find the right opportunity, well be able to find some clues and eradicate those families who go against the Xie family completely.

Xie Limo smiled and caressed Yun Bixues head. His eyes glinted with admiration.

In the morning, Yun Bixue searched throughout the internet. She also requested Yun Dong to pay attention to news regarding the incident.

Seeing his wifes brows knitted throughout the entire morning, Xie Limo was rather worried. He quietly sent a text message out.

During lunch, Tian Xiaojuan and Lu Maimai came to fetch Yun Bixue out for shopping. They wanted to shop for new year groceries and also buy new clothes at the same time.

Seeing how excited and chirpy the two of them looked, Yun Bixue didnt want to reject them. Moreover, the new year was approaching in a few days, and she and Xie Limo hadnt bought new clothes.

At that moment, Yun Bixue had forgotten that the Xie family could just tailor-make their clothes.

Yun Bixue looked at Xie Limo, who said, I have something to deal with in the afternoon and will be eating dinner with them. Go and have fun.

As he spoke, he began to change too. Picking up his keys, he got ready to go out. Should I send you to the mall?

Seeing that Xie Limo was really stepping out of the house, Yun Bixue finally felt less burdened. Since he was going to eat dinner outside, she wouldnt need to worry about him being alone at home.

Yun Bixue smiled radiantly and said, Xiaojuan drove, and we can go there ourselves. Go on, do your things, and dont worry about me. As she spoke, she walked in front of Xie Limo, feeling reluctant to part. She also fixed his clothes.

Xie Limo caressed Yun Bixues head., Have fun.

Yun Bixue nodded.

After Xie Limo left the house, Yun Bixue, Tian Xiaojuan, and Lu Maimai went shopping together.

The three ladies were rather noisy. They chattered non-stop, and Yun Bixue let down her guard as she happily tried on new clothes.

When they came across delicious snacks on the road, the three of them would buy some. They ate while they shopped, completely disregarding the passersby.

As Lu Maimai munched on a fishball, she asked, Bixue, everyone else would believe you if you said that you were a high school student now.

As Yun Bixue nibbled on her food, she smiled. Her eyes curved into small crescents as she answered, Im going to be twenty-six years old next year. How can I be so young?
