31. Power struggle

"Mrs. Bi, we need to go. And don't slander us without any evidence. The Ji family isn't a pushover either."

After saying that Ji Shuiheng left the private room with his daughter.

Ji Xinglu lowered her head and smirked thriumply.

She always resented Bi Ruixi. Just because she's born in a slightly better family than the Ji family, she had to suck up to her? Why?

She's also the Young Miss of the Ji family, one of the top four families of the capital.

The marriage alliance between Bi and He families elevated their status to a level above the Ji and Li families.

The Li family was always neutral and stayed away from the power struggle and lived in seclusion.

And because the Li family has been a military family for generations, they're upright and just.

Meanwhile the Ji family always competed with the Bi family.

But after the marriage alliance between the Bi and He families, they became cautious with every step they took.

And Ji Xinglu was the most crafty person out of all the children in her family.

So she meticulously planned the whole scene and left no evidence.

According to her plan, after Bi Ruixi met with that unfortunate incident her reputation will go down the drain. And because of that the Bi and He families will definitely get affected.

Owing to the outcome, the Ji family can strike when they are at their lowest point. They already placed their men in both the Bi and He family companies. By leaking their confidential information when they're in the limelight thanks to Bi Ruixi, they can give them a fatal blow.

Both the families can only blame their luck at the end.

The plan was perfect, but..

"What went wrong?" Ji Shuiheng asked when they got into their car.

Ji Xinglu no longer had the naive and innocent expression on her face.

Her face twitched with anger and turned a little sinister.

"Mo Ling." She spat out this name through her gritted teeth.

"The boy who lives in the Bi family?" He was confused.

They planned this properly without any loose ends.

But a variable they couldn't control appeared and ruined their plan.

"Yes. I didn't think he was capable enough so I neglected him."

She knew that he'll appear near that alley at that time. That's why she baited him to Bi Ruixi knowing that the girl hated his guts.

Since he's a 'weak and timid' boy, when he comes across the burly evil men he'll get frightened and just abandon Bi Ruixi. Even if he wants to save her, one against five is an impossible scenario with his skinny build.

But, he's capable and also ruined her plan.

She's so angry that her intestines began to hurt.

She knew that in the future, the opportunity this good will not knock on her door.

Bi family will keep their guard up against them and the He family will support them from the dark.

"It's okay. The He family won't last long. And the Bi family will definitely lose it's support."

Ji Shuiheng smiled slightly and looked smug.

"Dad? Do you know something?" Ji Xinglu was surprised when she heard that.

Ji Shuiheng looked at the girl beside him and contemplated whether to tell her or not.

She's the most promising child in her generation. Unfortunately she's a girl and he can't entrust the family businesses to her.

But.. even if she is a girl she can be of help if she can marry into a prominent family.

After making up his mind he told her about what he found out.
