Item family

"Cooperation?" Hearing the news brought back by Xiang Yuan, the third master raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Did Bai Xiang tell you that?"

"Yeah," Xiang Yuan said with a gloomy face, "I ignored him in the venue, but he blocked me at the door."

"He didn't say anything excessive, did he?" The third master frowned, knowing that his family was soft-hearted, and he was afraid that he would suffer a disadvantage outside.

"No, I refused at that time, but he said that what I said didn't work, it's better to come back and ask you."

"He didn't give you face so much, didn't you whip him on the spot?" The third master smiled, took Xiang Yuan into his arms and patted him gently.

"He's not normal at first sight, so I don't have the same knowledge as him." Xiang Yuan nestled in the third master's arms and asked softly, "What do you mean he wants to cooperate with us? Ning Yunze really wants to dig The corner of your own house?"

"I can't rule out this possibility. There is only one position for the crown prince of the Ning family, and the Ning family is not a particularly bright family. Ning Yunze was treated as an abandoned son by the family. I guess he also has some resentment in his heart."

"I think he has a lot of resentment." The man looked gloomy and not easy to mess with.

"Maybe," the third master nodded his nose and said with a smile, "I also discovered an interesting thing recently."

"what's up?"

"Didn't Ning Tianze value Xiang Xiao very much before?"

"Yes," Xiang Xiao must be able to stay with Ning Tianze even after the mistake of buying Milk Source.com, "What did you find?"

"After Ning Yunze came back, Xiang Xiao got along well with him. Xiang Xiao accompanied Ning Yunze several times when he went out."

"What?" Xiang Yuan plucked his ears in disbelief, "He actually eats everything?"

"Haha, the brothers of the Ning family don't have that tendency, right?" The third master was amused by Xiang Yuan, and arched his forehead with a smile. Xiang Yuan felt that his IQ was despised, so he pushed him dissatisfiedly, "Oh, you You know what I mean, I mean how did he manage to convince the two previous princes at the same time?"

"This question is not difficult to say, I think you can think about it from another angle."

"Change the angle?" Xiang Yuan was puzzled, "How?"

"For someone like Ning Yunze who has experienced family betrayal, it is very difficult to trust someone."

Xiang Yuan nodded, agreeing with the third master's statement very much, it is difficult for someone like him who has been betrayed by fakes to rebuild trust, let alone Ning Yunze who was abruptly abandoned by the family.

"So let's think about it from another angle. Instead of saying that Xiang Xiao gained Ning Yunze's trust in a short period of time, it's better to wonder if they had contact from the beginning."

"You mean..." Xiang Yuan stared blankly, "Xiang Xiao is Ning Yunze's undercover agent next to First Young Master Ning?"

Madan this is unbelievable!Xiang Yuan scratched his hair depressingly. Is it true that what happened to Ning Tianze was a chess game that Ning Yunze had set up long ago, as the third master said?It's also rebirth, why is he so cool, handsome and domineering?

Xiang Yuan was so depressed, he nestled in the third master's arms, and bit the third master's neck bitterly.

"What's the matter?" The third master was in pain, but he was not willing to be angry with him, but looked back at him with a doting smile.

"Am I particularly useless?"

"What are you talking about?" the third master shook his head and said in disapproval, "I just like you. I can't stand being too smart."

"Aren't you thinking I'm stupid!" Someone got angry and glared at the third master like a fierce little beast.

"It's not that I dislike you, I'm just praising you." The third master hugged him in his arms, and stroked his hair gently with his hands, "Really, I don't appreciate the actions of people like Ning Yunze at all."

"But he can make money and is scheming. You see, not only did he win over Bai Xiang, Xue Lin, and Xiang Xiao, but he also sent Ning Tianze to the hospital. You also said that Ning Tianze is useless now. I guess he enjoys the same treatment as Ning Yunze in his previous life." From the proud son of heaven to the trash of the family, it is estimated that Ning Tianze's heart gap is a hundred times more painful than that of Ning Yunze back then.

"You think he's successful?"

"Isn't it?" Anyway, I can't do this step.

"Dongdong, if you want to control a family, you can't just rely on money or a little scheming." Seeing Xiang Yuan's envious face, the third master couldn't help poking his forehead and reminded, "Don't Seeing how Ning Yunze is bouncing around now, even if Ning Tianze falls down, he probably won't be able to take the position of the Ning family's crown prince."

"Impossible!" Xiang Yuan protested, "Isn't Ning Tianze and Ning's family just the two of them?" Ning Tianze is abolished, if the Ning family doesn't support Ning Yunze, who else should they support?

"That's why you don't understand the twists and turns of these aristocratic families." Seeing Xiang Yuan's bewildered expression, the third master couldn't help but explain to my little lover, "The cultivation of successors of aristocratic families is not only based on blood, Ning Yun It is true that Ze is a direct descendant, but he has lived abroad since he was a child. He has neither cultivated contacts to follow him, nor does he know enough about the domestic situation. Now he is an outsider to the upper echelons of the capital. Some talents are still not recognized by mainstream forces."

"Can't you cultivate connections and everything?"

"But it's too late now. Although the Ning family is powerful, it is not the top few people who maintain the foundation of a faction, but the middle-level people who have worked hard in the political world for many years and have a solid foundation. These talents are the future hope of the faction. The backbone of development, Ning Yunze has lived abroad for too long, and his educational background is too westernized, the middle management of the Ning department will not agree with such a successor."

"Then he was scheming in vain?" Xiang Yuan suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Ning Yunze.

"No, at least he provides us with more chances of winning, doesn't he?"

Xiang Yuan was dumbfounded, looking at the calmly smiling face of the third master, he held back for a long time before saying, "You are so insidious."

"Thank you for your compliment, madam." The third master touched his head and stared at him tenderly, "Maybe you think I'm cold-blooded, but we were all born attached to the family, I don't want you to repeat that nightmare, so , as long as there is a slight chance of reversal, I will not let it go."

"I, I was just joking." Xiang Yuan slowly blushed under the gaze of the third master, "Although I have a similar experience with Ning Yunze, I am not so stupid as to be a good person. You Just do whatever you want, use whoever you want...just use it, as long as our family is in good condition, it doesn't matter what it is."

"Don't worry, things haven't reached that point yet," the third master hugged him and shook him gently, "Ning Yunze made a good start for us, if something happens to Ning Tianze, the Ning family will be in chaos for a while, wait for them Straighten it out, I guess the eldest brother has already taken the position."

"Can it be so smooth?" Although he didn't experience the bloody storms in the previous life, but the third master didn't dare to visit him for two years, so he can more or less infer the danger at that time.

"You, don't be worried all the time." The third master kissed his ear and comforted him. "If the sky falls, there will be a tall man to support it. No matter what happens, it won't hit your head."

"Hmph, speaking is better than singing." Back then, he was not the first one to be sent away.

"Why, do you want me to sing a song for you?" The third master deliberately teased him, and actually hummed in his ear.

The babbling Kunqu opera has a special flavor to the ears, but even if the third master has the level of a fancier, for Xiang Yuan, who grew up listening to hip-hop and rap abroad, this humming is like a lullaby, "Hurry up and stop , bully me for being illiterate, right?"

"How could it be? Our Dongdong is a top student in University H!"

"Go away, laugh at me again."

"Look at Madam's joke, how dare I?" As he spoke, he swiped his hands vigorously, and hugged Xiang Yuan horizontally, "I accidentally offended Madam just now, how about Xiaosheng going to bed to apologize?"

"not so good!"

Xiang Yuan's fist hit the third master's shoulder as if it was tickling, he smiled and kissed Xiang Yuan, hugged his Dongdong leisurely, and went upstairs humming a ditty all the way.

After a warm and sweet night, under the patient and lasting comfort of the third master, the worries in Xiang Yuan's heart were slowly put down.

Because he was blocked by Bai Xiang once, Xiang Yuan became more and more cautious, except for running between home and office, he basically stopped participating in social circle activities.

It's just that the Ye family, as the top family in the capital, is unlikely to live a peaceful life. Not long after the third master refused to cooperate with Bai Xiang and others, new news came out from the Ning family.

The young master of the Ning family has regained consciousness a few days ago, and testified that the person who killed him was Xiang Xiao.
