"Play along?" Xiahou Chunyi paused, his eyes flickering slightly, "You an to intentionally distance yourself from Xiangsi?"
"Not just that, I also want to force the person hiding in the shadows to reveal themselves." Xing Chen’s voice was firm, clearly he was fully confident in his plan.
The one who dared to hide in the dark and constantly threatened Ran Xiangsi’s safety, he would personally drag them out!
No one could cause trouble under his watch!
Hearing this from Xing Chen, Xiahou Chunyi wasn’t worried anymore.
He had confidence in Xing Chen’s actions.
However...
"When do you plan to tell Xiangsi?"
"She doesn’t need to know." Xing Chen’s tone noticeably dimd at this, "If she knew, it wouldn’t be genuine. This could potentially affect the entire plan."
Xiahou Chunyi nodded in agreent, took another sip, and let out a long sigh, "This will be hard on her. She might even truly believe he’s angry at her... Won tend to overthink."
Xing Chen knew that if he distanced himself from Xiangsi, she would certainly be upset.
But... right now, the most direct, convenient, and fastest way was this one.
Everything he did was for Ran Xiangsi’s safety.
If he didn’t quickly capture the mysterious person lurking in the darkness, Ran Xiangsi’s situation could beco even more dangerous!
Xing Chen collected his thoughts, temporarily setting aside matters concerning Ran Xiangsi, and looked up at Xiahou Chunyi. Seeing him drink cup after cup, it was clear he had sothing on his mind.
"Why did you co here?"
Xing Chen asked, and Xiahou Chunyi finally let out a relieved sigh, "You’re finally showing so concern for your big brother."
Shaking his head helplessly, Xiahou Chunyi drank another cup of wine, "The Lou Family’s matters are still unresolved. Lou Xinyu may be secretly detained, but Lou Zhaonian is not giving up. He’s been in contact with his old subordinates recently, trying to disrupt my votes.
And his grandson isn’t an easy target either. He’s been building connections and seeking support everywhere, trying to revive the Lou Family. You had a good relationship with him since childhood, any ideas?"
Lou Xining is also extrely smart and difficult to deal with.
Previously, the Lou Family didn’t require Lou Xining to worry about anything because Lou Zhaonian was supporting them.
Now that the Lou Family is on the brink of collapse and Lou Zhaonian is old, if Lou Xining doesn’t hold up the family, the Lou Family might really decline.
Xiahou Chunyi originally intended to crush Lou Xining’s hopes quickly, but then he rembered the relationship between Lou Xining and Xing Chen, so he ca to ask for Xing Chen’s opinion.
"Since that incident, he hasn’t contacted ." Xing Chen’s tone was sowhat indifferent.
In the past, Lou Xining had indeed been close friends with him and would often visit, but ever since the incident with Ran Xiangsi and Lou Xinyu’s major embarrassnt, Lou Xining hadn’t reached out to Xing Chen again.
After all, Lou Xining is also a descendant of the Lou Family.
Xing Chen hadn’t spared any courtesy towards the Lou Family, so Lou Xining must have felt resentful.
"It seems he holds a grudge against you. This guy isn’t simple, you need to be careful." Xiahou Chunyi’s expression turned serious, not expecting things to beco so complicated.
Xing Chen was silent for a mont, then said, "Considering my relationship with him, show so leniency."
