The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 396 - 393: Ending in Conclusion

Alright. Even if their collaboration failed, all their joint projects ended, and the Qi Imperial Court had to pay a significant sum in damages, it wouldn’t be a huge issue. If Qi Longbing and Hua Xiaomo got together, and her Purple Demon Immortal Inquiry Company successfully went public in City A and became closely linked with the Qi Imperial Court, it would simply mean the Qi Imperial Court had found a new partner. In that scenario, the loss wouldn’t be substantial. In fact, it’s quite possible they could recoup all their losses in the future, perhaps even more.

"It’s good that you understand. Since you’re here, I have a task for you. Go back and talk to Pan Yutong. Get her to agree to a divorce, and then handle the other matters as best you can. I’ll sign the divorce agreement when I return," Qi Longbing instructed Qi Lingfeng.

If he handled this himself, things would definitely get very awkward. It was better to have Qi Lingfeng talk to her first. Ideally, they’d minimize any losses, but regardless, he was prepared to use money to completely sever his ties with Pan Yutong.

Qi Lingfeng smiled, then sat at the bar, poured himself a glass of Château Lafite, and slowly took a couple of sips.

"Big Brother, it seems I’ve come at just the right time. Since you’ve given me such an arduous task, oh dear, I’m afraid I won’t be able to complete it," Qi Lingfeng said, laughing as he looked at Qi Longbing. It really was quite amusing.

He had originally intended to persuade Qi Longbing not to disturb Hua Xiaomo’s life. Instead, Qi Longbing had tasked him with going back to discuss the divorce with Pan Yutong and get her to agree. What a dramatic turn of events! Regardless, he ultimately didn’t want to see Hua Xiaomo upset. If Hua Xiaomo was willing to be with his Big Brother, he would support them.

"If you can’t complete this task, then don’t call yourself my brother anymore! With such a lack of drive, how can you be considered a member of the Qi family?" Qi Longbing said sternly, looking at Qi Lingfeng. He knew Qi Lingfeng was more than capable; completing this task wouldn’t be impossible for him.

Besides, just the thought of Pan Yutong annoyed him. He didn’t want to deal with her, let alone discuss this specific matter. What he wanted was simple: upon returning to City A, he would go directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau to sign the divorce agreement.

"Hey, Big Brother, that’s a bit harsh. Whether I complete the task or not has nothing to do with me being your brother, does it? Besides, Grandfather probably won’t agree to this either. Are you mentally prepared for that?" Qi Lingfeng said, looking at him. Indeed, the old man would absolutely not agree.

Qi Longbing glanced at him and instructed, "When you tell Pan Yutong, inform Grandfather as well. Let him be prepared."

Qi Lingfeng laughed. This was amusing. He had been about to tell Qi Longbing to be mentally prepared, but Qi Longbing had turned it around and said Grandfather should be prepared. They were quite a pair! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Hey, does it have to be this dramatic, Big Brother? What are you really thinking? After you divorce Pan Yutong, are you planning to marry Hua Xiaomo immediately?" Qi Lingfeng asked.

Qi Longbing replied with two words: "Obviously."

Qi Lingfeng laughed again. "And what does Hua Xiaomo think? Does she agree? Will she agree to marry you?"

He felt strongly that they should seek Hua Xiaomo’s consent first. She hadn’t agreed to be with Qi Longbing before. Now, if Qi Longbing divorced and Hua Xiaomo still refused to marry him, things would get complicated.

Qi Longbing glanced at Qi Lingfeng, thought for a moment, and then said, "I have my own plans for this. Xiao Mo will definitely marry me. Candy is my daughter. No matter what, I am her father. I have a father’s responsibilities, and I also have the responsibility to care for my woman."

"Big Brother, what you’re saying is truly moving. I think you’re a great man. If I were a woman, I’d want to marry someone like you too," Qi Lingfeng joked.

This quickly earned him a very displeased look from Qi Longbing. "Don’t flatter me. Just do your job properly. You must get Pan Yutong to agree to the divorce, understand?"

Feigning seriousness, Qi Lingfeng took a deep breath and then said with a smile, "Big Brother, I’ll do my best on this. However, whether she agrees to divorce you isn’t something I can decide. You know that woman. She used many schemes to marry you back then. Now you want to kick her to the curb so easily? I think she definitely won’t be able to swallow her pride."

"I don’t care if she can swallow her pride or not; I am definitely divorcing her! I refuse to live with a woman like Pan Yutong. I can’t stand that kind of life for even one more night. I don’t love her! I will not live with her," Qi Longbing asserted bluntly.

Hearing Qi Longbing’s resolute words, Qi Lingfeng didn’t say much more. He just looked at Qi Longbing, his mind turning to another matter.

"By the way, have you seen my disciple, Zi Yunsui, lately? I heard he’s very fond of Xiao Mo," Qi Lingfeng asked, looking at Qi Longbing.

Aside from Qi Longbing’s and Hua Xiaomo’s affairs, another reason he had come to City B was to see this disciple of his.

Qi Longbing glanced at him. "Zi Yunsui? He was in a car accident. He’s been hospitalized and hasn’t woken up yet."

"What? Zi Yunsui was in a car accident? No way! When did this happen? How come I didn’t hear about it?" Qi Lingfeng exclaimed, shocked. A wave of unease washed over him. His disciple was always so earnest about everything, especially his feelings for Hua Xiaomo. He couldn’t help but worry.

Looking at the man opposite him, he asked, "Big Brother, Zi Yunsui’s car accident... tell me honestly, does it have anything to do with you?"

Qi Longbing’s affection for Hua Xiaomo meant he might do something drastic. Qi Lingfeng desperately hoped his brother hadn’t resorted to such tactics; otherwise, it would deeply sadden him.

Unexpectedly, Qi Longbing paused, then merely scoffed and offered no reply.

Qi Longbing’s attitude fueled Qi Lingfeng’s suspicions. He stared at his brother, his brow suddenly furrowing. "Could this really be related to you? Big Brother, don’t hide it from me. I need to know what happened. Why would Zi Yunsui get into a car accident and be hospitalized right after you arrived? Isn’t that too much of a coincidence?"
