Beautiful CEO's Top Expert-Chapter 1769 - 1770: The Xiao Family’s Ambition

Before this, the Yan family was searching for Yan Jingchu, and even Wei Zixu from the Wei family was implicated. Yan Jingchu's master wanted Ye Xunhuan to bring Yan Jingchu, otherwise Wei Zixu would end up dead.

Now Wei Zixu is reportedly sent to the hospital, and Yan Haohan is dead. Was it Ye Xunhuan or the Wei family?

For a while, everyone began to speculate and inquire in their hearts.

To know the whole story and keep the information under control is better, it helps in planning future actions. Otherwise, with closed eyes and ears, one might not recognize the danger when it arrives!

Even though Wei Sanqian, the patriarch of the Wei family, seldom left his house, no stir in the capital escaped his ears.

Upon learning about this, Wei Sanqian did not pay much attention, remaining calm as if it had nothing to do with him.

Indeed, it had nothing to do with him, Wei Sanqian, since he did nothing.

Wei Sanqian was as calm as a placid lake without any ripples, and Ye Xunhuan's grandfather Qin Pojun was the same.

But Qin Pojun's calmness was merely superficial; inside, he was already stirred by turbulent waves.

The death of Yan Zhengrong, while it didn't cause a big scene, did stir storms beneath the surface, and now Yan Haohan was dead too.

And likely it was Ye Xunhuan's doing, which completely pushed the Yan family towards the cliff, making the Yan family desperate to kill Ye Xunhuan.

With Yan Haohan's death, the Yan family doesn't know who will rise to power. More importantly, many will watch the Yan family trying to fish in troubled waters, and their actions will naturally be blamed on Ye Xunhuan, making the conflict with the Yan family endless.

In such a situation, even if the Qin family wants to remain neutral, it's impossible!

The sky in the capital might change.

Not only Qin Pojun is aware of this, the rest of the Qin family knows too. Qin Shuheng had come to the old residence, but was turned away by Qin Pojun.

He knows what Qin Shuheng wants to do and say, but he won't follow Qin Shuheng and others' wishes.

The best way is to avoid them.

The Xiao family in the capital has risen rapidly in recent years, its status and identity rivaling the old families like the Qin and Yan families. Among the younger generation, Xiao Boyang and Xiao Boya are leading figures with high regard among the elders.

Meanwhile, in the Xiao family, the brothers Xiao Boyang and Xiao Boya rarely sat together, and with them was their father—Xiao Nantian!

Xiao Nantian appeared to be around fifty years old; perhaps his long-standing high position lent him an aura of subtle authority, his square face stern yet dignified.

However, the most eye-catching feature was Xiao Nantian's eyebrows, long and dark, curved down like crescent moons, almost reaching his eyes.

"Boya, Boyang, what do you two think of the Yan family now?" Xiao Nantian asked casually.

The Xiao family had no elders; it was entirely supported by Xiao Nantian and his brothers, and Xiao Nantian's acumen made him the family head.

Upon hearing Xiao Nantian's question, Xiao Boya and Xiao Boyang exchanged a glance!

"Brother, go ahead!"

Dressed in a tailored suit with extraordinary appearance, Xiao Boya spoke directly without fussing with his younger brother: "Dad, when Yan Zhengrong died, it caused some damage to the Yan family, but now with Yan Haohan's death, the Yan family is heavily wounded!"

"Also, who heads the Yan family now?" Xiao Boya said softly: "I think Wen Sitong, that woman, won't hand over power to anyone else, right?"

"After all, she has a son, although he might be a waste now, she would still firmly hold on to power for her son!"

Xiao Nantian's face slowly showed an expression of satisfaction and appreciation.

Xiao Boya's analysis was spot on, indeed.

It's known that human nature is selfish, irrespective of what Yan Qingjun becomes, as long as he is alive, Wen Sitong won't relinquish power.

And Wen Sitong's background is notable.

"Though Wen Sitong is quite adept, if she chooses to hold her ground, except for someone like Ye Xunhuan who defies rules, we might not be able to topple the Yan family."

"But Wen Sitong likely won't choose to hold her ground, she'll retaliate against Ye Xunhuan, at any cost." Xiao Boya emitted a heavy sigh and said, "What happened to Yan Qingjun surely sowed the seeds of hatred in her heart, and now her husband is dead, new and old grudges intertwine, she's likely on the verge of eruption, right?"

"What's your view then?"

"We should seize Ye Xunhuan, follow in Ye Xunhuan's footsteps, pursue neutrality; it might enable us to overtake the Yan family!"

With that, a gleam of ambition shone in Xiao Boya's bright eyes.

"Boyang, what about you?" Xiao Nantian asked his youngest son.

"Dad, brother made compelling points, yet there's a shortcoming!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Oh?" Xiao Nantian showed interest and asked with keen curiosity, "Go ahead!"

"Wen Sitong retaliating against Ye Xunhuan is already a foregone conclusion!" Xiao Boyang was very certain: "My brother overlooked human nature!"

"Wen Sitong is a woman, and a woman relies on a man in life. Now her man is dead, her son has become a waste, it's unbearable for anyone; moreover, her daughter Yan Jingchu's fate is still uncertain!"

"But one thing is certain, Yan Jingchu is likely still in Ye Xunhuan's hands, and Ye Xunhuan will not just do nothing."

"I've interacted with Ye Xunhuan, not claiming deep understanding, but I definitely know more than my brother!" Xiao Boyang said confidently.

"So what do you think Ye Xunhuan will do?"

"He'll exploit Yan Jingchu, driving Wen Sitong not only insane but utterly irrational. A woman without reason, focused solely on revenge, facing someone like Ye Xunhuan, leads almost inevitably to her doom!" Xiao Boyang said gravely: "I suggest preparing ahead, striking the Yan family!"

"Boyang, your points are valid, but Wen Sitong's background is not simple!"

With that, a strong hint of dread appeared in Xiao Nantian's eyes.

Once one attains a certain height, many things are encountered or heard of, even if not directly engaged with, they are somewhat known.

Xiao Nantian had heard of the guardians of the nation!
