Girl, let me check it out.

Xie Lingwan was of course well aware of this, and she had no intention of breaking the rule that everyone tacitly followed.

But this rule can be used to her advantage in the current situation.

This rule was created in large part to hedge against the side effects of the iron rule.

The existence of the iron law provided a decisive foundation for the rise of the Xie family of Chenjun, but it also had a big drawback:

This greatly reduced the natural sense of trust within the Xie family.

Before the emergence of laws, people's natural mutual trust was the highest, because no one would think of relying on the authority of the law.

But after the law came into being, this natural mutual trust was undoubtedly hit its lowest point.

The iron law also plays this role.

Because of the existence of the iron rule, the Xie family would always think about signing an iron rule before doing anything.

Don't sign?

If I don’t sign, I won’t feel at ease. If I don’t sign, that means there is no trust. If there is no trust, then the deal can’t be done. If the deal can’t be done, it means you want to be my enemy.

And I will not spare any of those who are my enemies.

But sometimes, people just can’t sign, but they can’t say it openly.

How can this be tolerated?

This is also the reason why the Xie family generally does not check the accounts.

One is that it is unnecessary, and the other is that it is impossible to check. Checking the account book is a very tiring job. I don’t know how long it will take to check it by myself. The workload is too huge.

If they entrust the help to other people, the Xie family will naturally feel uneasy, fearing that there may be problems.

They carefully maintain the balance of family power in such a series of logical loops, relying on the iron laws and deep interests, and at the same time set rules:

There must be no rigid rules within the Xie family.

It is for this reason that throughout history, the main branch of the Xie family would generally only have one heir, in order to avoid infighting between the two houses due to failure to sign the iron law.

But by the time of Xie Lingwan's father's generation, this rule was broken.

The main branch of the Xie family had two heirs, Xie Lue and Xie Tao, at the same time, forming a situation of confrontation.

This gave Xie Lingwan a great opportunity to accumulate strength.

"Oh, is this the level of fake accounting?"

The girl compared the three account books, quickly calculating strings of numbers in her mind.

"I haven't checked the account books for so long that I don't even know my surnames anymore."

The girl raised her hand and casually put the account book aside.

The account books piled up there have already risen as high as a hill.

She looked at another book, which recorded the names of all the properties owned by the Xie family of Chen County. Some of them were marked in vermilion, making them particularly conspicuous.

Those are the places where problems with the accounts can be used to blackmail.

Help his father to defeat Xieluo and then take over Xieluo's power.

This was Xie Lingwan’s plan.

The girl rubbed her brows tiredly and stretched lazily. Her delicate body was tightly pressed against her clothes because of her movements, revealing her exquisite curves.

She stood up and stretched her stiff body slightly.

Very sleepy.

Xie Lingwan yawned and felt her consciousness was a little hazy.

She hadn't slept for several nights.

Relying on her amazing willpower, her own intelligence, and the powerful mental strength of the peak realm of the Three Element Transformations, the girl worked tirelessly for several days to check the recent account books of all the businesses of the Dongshan Xie family in Changming City.

This sounds like a sensational thing that is impossible to accomplish, but Xie Lingwan did it.

Who said the Xie family wouldn’t check the accounts?

I can do it.

The girl thought with some disdain.

She suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell down, so she had to hold onto the wall for support.

Her once beautiful face now looks haggard, like a jade covered in dust, which makes people feel distressed at first sight.

Maybe... it's time to take a break.

As soon as this thought appeared in her mind, she extinguished it instantly.

Why rest? You can’t rest!

When Xie Lingwan thought about her and Fang Weihan’s current situation, she no longer had the heart to rest.

"No, I have to go check out those shops."

The girl looked pale and muttered to herself while leaning against the wall.

She decided to take action immediately, starting with attacking Xie Luo's forces.

She couldn't wait any longer.

"Someone is coming."

She called out to the door.

"Miss, what are your orders?"

Several maids entered one after another, bowing their heads respectfully.

"I want to take a shower."

The girl instructed calmly.

"Yes, I will prepare it now..."

Before she finished her words, another maid came in through the door.

"Miss, Miss Xiao wants to see you."

She said respectfully.

Xiao Jin? What is she doing here?

Xie Lingwan was a little confused.

Her mind moved and she thought of a possibility.

Could it be that Fang Weihan had something to talk to me about and couldn't convey it, so he asked Xiao Jin to convey it on his behalf?

"Let her in."

Xie Lingwan said calmly, and gave another order to the three maids:

"You go ahead and get ready."

"Yes."

Everyone followed the order and retreated.

She returned to the room, sat down at the table, and took out a bronze mirror.

Xie Lingwan reached behind her head and untied her complicated bun. Her black hair was scattered like ink, adding a bit of fragility to her temperament. Her haggard face made her look even more pitiful.

Looking at her face in the mirror, the girl sighed softly.

You have no way out.

Xie Lingwan said to herself.

Climb up, climb up desperately.

If you can't climb higher and higher, then what will you use to protect him?

Everything I do is worth it!

The girl thought silently.

at this time.

"Sister Lingwan!"

Xiao Jin's soft and sweet voice suddenly sounded.

"Long time no see, how are you these days?"

She came to Xie Lingwan, sat opposite her, and looked at her with her curved almond-shaped eyes full of smiles.

Xiao Jin supported her face with her left arm, and the dazzling bracelet sparkled on her fair wrist.

The girl deliberately shook her body, and the white rabbit swayed along with the bracelet, as if she was afraid that Xie Lingwan couldn't see it.

Xie Lingwan withdrew her gaze from the bronze mirror and glanced at Xiao Jin.

"This bracelet is very beautiful, where did you buy it?"

She asked with a smile, but there was not much smile in her tone.

Chapter 98 Children Should Not Participate

"I bought it from Yanguang Pavilion."

Xiao Jin smiled sweetly, stopped supporting her head, and stretched out her left hand and shook it.

The crisp sound of jade colliding was heard.

"How is it, Sister Lingwan? Does she look good?"

Xiao Jin came closer and asked innocently like a girl next door.

"Quite good looking."

The smile on Xie Lingwan's face was almost gone.

As smart as she was, she had already guessed what Xiao Jin was going to say next.

If possible, she would like to throw Xiao Jin out now to save herself the annoyance of listening to it.

"Really? I also think Brother Fang has a great aesthetic sense!"

Xiao Jin's eyes were curved into crescents, and her face was flushed with shyness.

"I didn't ask him to buy it, but he insisted on buying it. I was thinking about when to give him a gift in return."

Xiao Jin blushed and spoke sweetly to herself.

Who asked you?!

Xie Lingwan's chest heaved. She silently clenched her fists and forced herself to resist the urge to throw the stinky girl opposite her out.

And there is Fang Weihan!

It turned out that he had some unclear relationship with Xiao Jin.

This playboy!

It's only been such a short time since I broke off my engagement with him, and he's already hooking up with another girl!

Can't our childhood sweethearts' friendship for so many years stop you?

Xie Lingwan clenched her teeth and tried to calm herself down.

"Xiao Jin, do you have something to do? I'm very busy now. And I'm going to take a bath soon."

She said with a smile.

I was just short of saying "get out of here!"

Xiao Jin was secretly happy when he saw that Xie Lingwan was angry with him.

At the same time, she also confirmed her guess.

The matter of Xie Lingwan and my brother breaking off their engagement is probably far from being that simple.

"Have."
