Chapter 205 Only the Yun Family!
Since it was still early, Yun Yao did not return to Tianzhu Hua Mansion, but instead went to Linlang Pavilion.
Su Yuchen said that the situation at Linlang Pavilion was not optimistic recently. Qi's father was not up to the task, and Qi Mo was still young. Yun Yao was really worried about him.
When Yun Yao appeared at Linlang Pavilion, she could indeed sense the tense atmosphere inside.
Has it gotten that serious?
Dim light peeked out from the crack in the closed door. Yun Yao looked up and saw Qi's father pacing back and forth and little Qi Mo with a worried expression.
“Miss Yun is in dire straits herself, and Linlang Pavilion has offended the Gu family at this critical juncture. Qi Mo, no matter how smart you are, can you really fight city hall?”
"Dad, don't say anymore. I believe Sister Yun won't abandon us." Qi Mo's childish voice rang out.
"Qi Mo, you're still young and don't understand how adults think. They only care about their own interests. Once we can't create profits for them, we'll become pawns that can be discarded at any time!"
With a creak, the half-closed door was pushed open from the outside.
The father and son both looked towards the door, and when they saw who it was, an awkward expression flashed across the father's face.
Unlike his father, Qi Mo was not reserved. He abandoned his usual composure and rushed towards the person at the door.
"Sister Yun!"
Knowing that Yun Yao disliked being touched, Qi Mo suddenly stopped the car when he was still a meter away from her.
Yun Yao chuckled and reached out to pinch his cheek.
"Long time no see, Xiao Qimo."
After Yun Yao pinched his cheek, Qi Mo became visibly embarrassed, his face turning bright red.
"Sister Yun, come in quickly."
Qi Mo led Yun Yao inside.
Yun Yao walked past Qi's father without stopping, but out of the corner of her eye she noticed that Qi's father lowered his head even further.
Yun Yao sat down, but did not speak.
Qi Mo's eyes flickered slightly as he moved closer to Yun Yao.
"Sister Yun, there's something I want to tell you."
Seeing that Yun Yao remained silent, Qi Mo continued, "When we opened, the imperial green jade we found was carved into a jade ruyi after a lot of work. We originally intended it to be the store's prized possession, but the Gu family stopped us on the day it was put on the shelves. They wanted to buy the jade ruyi, but the staff had been instructed by me not to sell it."
"When they couldn't take it by force, they resorted to robbery. After kicking out all the customers, they got into a conflict with the staff. They came in aggressively, and the staff didn't dare to offend them too much. In the end, the jade ruyi was smashed, and that's how we made an enemy of the Gu family."
Qi Mo only gave a brief introduction to the situation, but Yun Yao knew that they must have suffered a lot of grievances during this time.
"Qi Mo, what do you think?" Yun Yao asked Qi Mo.
Qi Mo frowned slightly, his small fists clenched tightly at his sides.
"Zhenbaozhai is a property of the Gu family. They must have received instructions from the Gu family head to act so arrogantly! They are abusing their power!" Qi Mo's delicate face was filled with anger.
Yun Yao knew that this was a tactic of the Gu family, and most likely Gu Huixin's scheme. Based on Yun Yao's understanding of Gu Huixin, she was the kind of person who would stop at nothing to achieve her goals.
"Since that's the case, what are your thoughts?" Yun Yao didn't give a direct answer, but continued to ask.
Before Qi Mo could speak, Qi's father, who was standing not far away, muttered something in a low voice.
"You ask Qi Mo about everything. Qi Mo is still just a child. If he could solve it, we wouldn't have waited until now." The complaint was quite obvious.
Yun Yao heard what he said, but for the sake of Xiao Qi Mo, she didn't pursue the matter.
Qi Mo was so preoccupied with how to answer Yun Yao that he didn't notice his father's unusual behavior at all.
“Sister Yun, Zhenbaozhai has been established in the jade industry for decades, and its foundation must be deeper than that of our Linlang Pavilion. If they are determined to target us, Linlang Pavilion will probably find it difficult to move forward.”
"The reason they are deliberately targeting us is simply because our interests are in conflict. If both sides win, these problems will be easily solved. No matter how despicable they are, they won't turn down money."
Yun Yao nodded, her eyes revealing undisguised admiration for Qi Mo.
She knew she hadn't misjudged him; Qi Mo truly deserved her attention.
“Qi Mo, there’s one thing you need to understand. The Gu family is one of the four great families. Even if they started out with jade, they might not care about such petty profits. Take your win-win cooperation as an example. If the two sides disagree one day, even our Linlang Pavilion will be affected. This plan is not impossible, but the risk is too great,” Yun Yao said calmly.
Upon seeing Yun Yao's reaction, Qi Mo understood what was going on.
"Sister Yun, you must have a way to solve this once and for all, right?"
Yun Yao chuckled and pushed a card to Qi Mo.
"The thing I hate most in my life is trouble. To ensure peace and tranquility in the future, it's best to uproot everything."
Qi Mo looked at the bank card on the table and had a guess in his mind, but the guess was too far-fetched.
"Sister Yun, you're not going to buy Zhenbaozhai, are you?" Qi Mo exclaimed in surprise.
Yun Yao smiled but didn't say anything.
That means it's the default!
Qi Mo jumped to his feet, staring at Yun Yao in disbelief.
"Sister Yun, Elder Fu of Zhenbaozhai is not an easy person to talk to. The Gu family has been kind to him, so he has worked for the Gu family without complaint for so many years. With Elder Fu's status in the jade industry, if we break down in negotiations, Linlang Pavilion will probably find it difficult to move an inch in the jade industry!"
Yun Yao didn't seem to care, her long, slender, fair fingers lightly tapping the table.
"Kindness must always be repaid. Besides, people have eyes; they will know what they should uphold and what they should give up."
"You don't need to worry about Elder Fu, I'll handle that. What you need to do is to bring everyone in Zhenbaozhai under your control as soon as Elder Fu leaves Zhenbaozhai."
Yun Yao had planned every step meticulously, as if she had been plotting for a long time.
But Qi Mo would never know that this was just Yun Yao's spur-of-the-moment idea.
Qi Mo picked up the bank card from the table with some difficulty, looked at Yun Yao, and hesitated to speak.
"What do you want to say?" Yun Yao keenly noticed his hesitation.
"Sister Yun, the Gu family is one of the four great families. Moreover, there have been rumors these days that Gu Huixin, the head of the Gu family, has reached some kind of agreement with the other three families, making the relationship between the four great families closer. Many powerful forces in the capital are secretly working with them, and the Gu family is growing stronger day by day. If Gu Huixin finds out that we are interfering, will you be implicated?"
Yun Yao thought he was afraid that she and her son would be hurt, but she didn't expect that he was only thinking about her, a stranger who had no relation to him.
Yun Yao looked at him with a solemn expression.
"Qi Mo, believe me, it won't happen."
Previously, she had a nonchalant attitude towards the four great families, turning a blind eye as long as they didn't go too far.
But now that she's prepared to take action, she's determined not to let them recover. What four great families? In her eyes, there's only the Yun family!
