Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 308 Everything for the Bird

Li Xiaoyao had long anticipated the change in attitude of Old Master Lan.

As they say, the older one gets, the wiser one becomes.

Old Master Lan was nothing but a weather vane, solely interested in power and influence.

Li Xiaoyao was indifferent to his power, since his connection to the Lan Family was inconsequential. The only person he cared about in the entire Lan Family was Lan Cai, and that was the extent of it.

Xiao Ya looked at him and asked, "The old man of the Lan Family?"

Seeing Li Xiaoyao nod, Xiao Ya said with some displeasure, "What a flip-flopper."

Li Xiaoyao stroked her hair and said, "Let’s go see what he wants to talk about first."

Old Master Lan had set the meeting for three o’clock in a tea house.

At three o’clock, Li Xiaoyao and Xiao Ya arrived on time.

When the waiter opened the door to the private room, seeing Li Xiaoyao standing at the entrance, the Lan Family elders promptly stood up from the sofa with smiles reaching forward.

"Mr. Li, please come in."

Li Xiaoyao entered the room expressionlessly, with Xiao Ya by his side.

Noting Xiao Ya’s presence as well, a flicker of surprise crossed Old Master Lan’s eyes.

Both seated, the tea master began steeping tea.

After pouring tea for everyone, Old Master Lan waved his hand, indicating the tea master to step out.

Old Master Lan pushed the teacup forward and said, "Have a taste. This is authentic Da Hong Pao tea from the mother tree at Mount Wuyi."

Li Xiaoyao downed it like plain water, unable to discern any particular special qualities. Find exclusive stories on novelbuddy

Tea like this held no appeal for Li Xiaoyao. If he wanted to make money, he could easily sell some Pill Medicine.

Or if he were to establish a Sect and take on disciples, should he really decide to do so, rich folk from all over the world would scramble to send their children to him.

So as far as he was concerned, Old Master Lan’s worldly gestures amounted to nothing significant.

"What do you want to see me about, Mr. Lan?" Li Xiaoyao got straight to the point.

Old Master Lan was slightly taken aback, obviously not expecting Li Xiaoyao to be so direct. He chuckled wryly and said, "If Mr. Li doesn’t mind, just call me Grandpa Lan. I am older than you, so it shouldn’t be a loss."

Li Xiaoyao scoffed, "We’re neither kin nor kith, let’s not."

In any other case, Li Xiaoyao would have bluntly asked: What makes you think you deserve that?

Rejected by Li Xiaoyao, Old Master Lan didn’t get angry, but instead said with a chuckle, "Mr. Li isn’t quite right. If you marry Cai’er, wouldn’t I be your grandfather then?"

It turned out to be a marriage proposal, and Li Xiaoyao found Old Master Lan’s face utterly repugnant.

"Heh, Mr. Li, you and Cai’er share a mutual affection. I’ve seen it with my own eyes and think you’re quite a match. If you don’t mind, why not pick an auspicious day and get married sooner rather than later?" Old Master Lan smiled beamingly.

Better late than never to mend the pen after the sheep are lost. With Lan Cai in his family, the Lan Family would remain forever immune from Li Xiaoyao’s enmity.

But it was still better to secure this relationship sooner, since, with Li Xiaoyao’s abilities, he’d never be short of women by his side.

This was evident from Xiao Ya at his arm.

"Is there anything else? If not, I’ll be leaving," Li Xiaoyao said, looking at Old Master Lan as though he hadn’t heard his suggestion, and rose to leave with Xiao Ya.

Old Master Lan frowned as he watched Li Xiaoyao’s departing figure, puzzled about where things had gone wrong.

Could it be that he had no interest in Lan Cai? That was impossible; he wouldn’t hesitate to kill Xu Wan for Lan Cai if needed, which clearly showed his affection for her.

So, where exactly lay the problem?

Old Master Lan would never guess the reason.

With so many women around Li Xiaoyao, marriage was the last thing he would consider in the near future.

For Old Master Lan to think he could bind Li Xiaoyao to his Lan Family through marriage was nothing short of a fool’s dream.

Leaving the tea house and sitting in the car, Xiao Ya looked at Li Xiaoyao with an almost amused expression and asked, "When they’re practically pushing their granddaughter into your arms, why refuse?"

Li Xiaoyao looked at her, a crooked smile on his face, "Book me a ticket back to Ling City."

"I’ll go back with you."

Li Xiaoyao shook his head, "You stay. Now that I’ve killed Yang Tianren, it’s the perfect opportunity to take over the Zheng Family."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ya’s eyes suddenly lit up.

The reason the Xiao Family left Jindu in the first place was that they were hindered and their development had stalled.

But now, with Li Xiaoyao behind the Xiao Family, who would dare to pull any tricks behind their back?

The Zheng Family was such a big piece of meat; if Xiao Ya could swallow even half of it, it would be enough to reestablish her footing in Jindu.

Xiao Ya’s gaze floated over his body and finally landed on his "little Xiaoyao" below, "Don’t think I don’t know that all of this is for your ’bird’."

Li Xiaoyao: "..."

He had intended to come straight back after leaving the teahouse, but Xiao Ya’s words had provoked his animal instincts halfway through the journey.

He sent the driver away and drove to a deserted wild ridge where they engaged in an intense outdoor battle.

If it hadn’t been for a persistent call from an unknown number, Li Xiaoyao and Xiao Ya’s battle might have lasted until dark.

After lifting Xiao Ya off him, he casually picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.

"Who’s this?"

"It’s me."

Li Xiaoyao immediately recognized the voice; it was Liu Chengxiang.

Why was he calling him?

"Mm, what’s up?" Though Li Xiaoyao wasn’t particularly fond of him, they hadn’t directly clashed.

At the charity dinner at the Lan Family’s, he even had his disciples stick up for him.

Though they weren’t closely acquainted, Li Xiaoyao could tell that Liu Chengxiang was someone who placed great emphasis on his Sect, or simply put, was very protective.

He might disapprove of Li Xiaoyao, but he definitely wouldn’t agree to others bullying him.

"Still in Jindu? If so, come over for a few drinks." This invitation surprised Li Xiaoyao, he really couldn’t figure out what Liu Chengxiang was thinking.

Didn’t he dislike him? Why was he now inviting him for drinks?

"Okay," Li Xiaoyao answered and tossed the phone aside.

Xiao Ya, lying beside him with eyes like silk, asked, "Who was it calling at this time?"

"Let’s continue," Li Xiaoyao flipped over and pounced on her once again.

...

At seven o’clock in the evening, Li Xiaoyao sent Xiao Ya home and drove her car to the quadrangle dwelling.

The courtyard was already quiet; Liu Chengxiang’s disciples had all gone.

In the vast yard, only Liu Chengxiang sat alone under the grapevines, drinking by himself, his figure seeming somewhat lonely and desolate.

"You here?" Liu Cheng, his back to the gate, asked softly.

"Mm." Li Xiaoyao walked over and sat opposite him.

There was a pot of wine on the table. Li Xiaoyao grabbed it, poured himself a cup, drank it in one gulp, and then said, "Good wine."

Liu Chengxiang glanced at him and asked indifferently, "It seems I misjudged you. I didn’t expect someone of your young age to possess such cultivation level, even Yang Tianren was no match for you."

Li Xiaoyao said nothing and just kept drinking.

"Do you know how many people want to kill you because you took down Yang Tianren?"

"Kill me?" Li Xiaoyao let out a disdainful laugh, his voice full of immense self-confidence, "In this world, the person who can kill me has yet to be born."
