Perhaps he recalled Qiao Tianqi's words that the Tang Clan and LY were dealing with the Qiao Clan.

Earlier, she had considered whether there was some conflict of interest between LY and the Qiao family, or perhaps a private grudge between both sides. She had never been in a position to take the initiative to ask for confirmation from Ling Huang.

At the moment, the Tang Family's collaboration with LY seemed to provide a reasonable explanation for why LY was targeting the Qiao Family.

While Hai Xiaomin was still in a daze, she immediately heard the Qiao family's words.

"..." The denunciation of Mrs. Qiao by the public online was still heating up, resulting in the performance of all the major stores plummeting. Although it was not fatal, it was enough to affect the reputation and popularity of the Qiao family for a long time. If they wanted to be completely defeated, they still needed to go a step further … " Tang Xuan paused for a moment when he saw Little Min's clear eyes in Shanghai.

Ling Yao tilted his head slightly. Out of the corner of his eyes, he caught Hai Xiao Min's attention. Tang Xuan obviously had some scruples about it, so he smiled and said generously, "Let's end it here today. Let's talk about this topic later."

"Alright!" Tang Xuan agreed readily. The two of them signed the contract, put away their share, stood up and shook hands.

"These days, Little Min is under your care." Tang Xuan thanked him profusely.

Ling Yao pursed his lips into a faint smile: "Just a simple favor for a friend. Thank you so much."

Releasing his hand, the two of them returned to Hai Xiaomin's side one after another.

"Finished?" Hai Xiao Min pretended to ask naturally.

The last two sentences were about her, and she was a little concerned about them.

Did that mean that in the past three days, Ling Yao's care of her had been entrusted to her by Tang Xuan?

Including the most advanced medical technology for her legs. Was it just a little bit of goodwill he showed to his friends and business partners as a bargaining chip?

Thinking of those nights when the man used the excuse of helping her get rid of her nightmares, climbing up the bed and giving her a hug, Hai Xiao Min couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Yes." "Little Min, I was afraid that uncle and the others were worried, so I hid the matter of your accident from Ling Yao. If you want to go back now and explain, I will go with you, otherwise, you can come back with me and stay with Xue Ning for a few days until your leg injury is almost healed."

Hearing this, Hai Xiao Min was stunned and subconsciously looked towards Ling Yao. He stood there calmly with a grave and stern face. His eyes, which had always been unfathomable, now revealed a indifference that had nothing to do with him.

So, had he planned to hand her over to Tang Xuan?

For some reason, Hai Xiao Min suddenly felt his heart clogged up with a slight sense of loss and frustration. But what difference was there between Ling Yao sending her home and Tang Xuan sending her home?

She felt that she was completely baffled at this moment!

Regardless of the reason why Tang Xuan saved her, his kindness was always genuine. She forced herself to calm down and said, "I won't go back now. Brother Tang Xuan, you should go to your house and disturb me for a few days."

Tang Xuan was overjoyed. He stood up with difficulty and said, "If you don't want to disturb me, just treat it as your home!"

Hai Xiao Min smiled at Tang Xuan and then at Ling Yao. She smiled brightly, "Mr. Ling, if there's a chance, I'll treat you to a meal next time."

However, when Ling Yao heard this, he pursed his sexy lips and laughed in disdain, "You owe me such a huge favor and you want to get rid of me after a meal. In your dreams?"

Hai Xiao Min looked embarrassed.

He had finished talking and had sent the guests. He patted on the outside of Tang Xuan's arm and said, "I'll be leaving first."

Tang Xuan nodded hastily. Before he could say goodbye, Ling Yao had already left with one hand in his pants pocket, leaving behind a cold silhouette. He walked to the door and waved his hand coolly: "At least ten meals!"

This guy …

"Brother Tang Xuan, did he become like this ever since you met him?" Hai Xiao Min turned her head and scolded Tang Xuan.

Before Ling Yao walked out of the door, Tang Xuan made a fist and covered it up with a fake cough. He said straightforwardly, "It's alright, it's not that big of a deal …"

"If that's not even considered, then is he still human after all?!" Hai Xiao Min pretended to be surprised.

Tang Xuan almost couldn't hold back his laughter when he saw Ling Yao's back stiffen. It wasn't an easy thing to make this person suffer from a loss on his words.

Returning to the car, Ling Yao fell into a silence. He tapped his thigh with his fingertips, and glanced at the car through the rearview mirror. Knowing Ling Yao's habit, he didn't hurry to drive and waited patiently.

"Jess Xiu, Hai Xiao Min …" What do you think? " Ling Yao suddenly said.

Zegna shrugged as if he was a westerner, thought for a while and said, "Positive, cheerful, and understanding. I don't really understand the situation."

His strengths and weaknesses were not deliberately distinguished, representing his objectivity.

"Not smart enough?" Ling Yao retorted.

"Boss, you know who has the qualifications to be praised like that in front of you."

This was not him flattering her. Ling Yao's IQ far exceeded that of a normal person's, and this was not a secret.

"She's stubborn, impetuous, naive, romantic, and likes to disguise herself with clumsy techniques."

He rubbed his chin with his finger and lowered his eyes as he murmured, "She is ignorant. She is just like the little princess of a castle. She is reckless and honest. She can do whatever she wants without caring about the consequences …"

It was the same objective tone of voice, without any criticism or criticism.

"Ha ~" He let out a low laugh, his low and hoarse voice carrying a hint of obscure self-mockery, "Sometimes, I really am a little jealous of this kind of person …"

In that instant, the air around him seemed to have frozen, giving off a suffocating feeling of darkness and oppression.

Jealousy?!

Zegna was shocked. He had never thought that a Boss that was envied by so many people would one day use this word. Plus, the other party was just an ordinary looking woman!

"Let's make some arrangements for the meeting of the upper echelons." The topic came to an end. Ling Yao had restrained his exposed emotions and returned to his usual cold and domineering attitude.

"Yes." Zegna started the engine. He suddenly thought of something and confirmed once more. "That little bug really let him go like this?"

Ling Yao glanced at him indifferently: "Are you very familiar with her?"

"Eh …" Of course, Zegna understood who she was referring to. It wasn't because he saw that you were familiar with the Boss, but because you applied the potions yourself and used it as a free pillow.

Ling Yao harrumphed, and the temperature difference in the carriage plummeted.
