“Qianyu!” Xiao Qi interrupted Lan Qianyu’s words and said desperately, “I know you mean well for me and I also agree with you, but now is not the time to say this. Xiao Corporation has been our family’s business for over a hundred years. I can’t let it be ruined in my hands. No matter what happens, I have to let it continue operating. Just help me for this one time. Once we get over this hurdle, I will go aboard with you for further studies. Didn’t you want to learn about jewellery design? We will go together.”

Lan Qianyu averted her gaze and remained silent. Learning jewellery design was her childhood dream. However, she had to give it up when her family’s fortunes declined. She chose music because she had been learning to play piano since she was young. Leng Ruobing had also influenced her a little. She grew to like this major gradually and gave up on her dream of jewellery design.

Xiao Qi doted on her and pampered her, but he never knew what she really wanted.

“Qianyu…” Xiao Qi called Lan Qianyu’s name uneasily.

Lan Qianyu raised her gaze and looked at him,” Xiao Qi, you know I will not forgive Leng Ruobing in this lifetime. I will never go ask her for help, so I’m sorry I can’t help you.”

“I know you have a prejudice against Aunt Leng, so I’m not asking you to go look for her.” Xiao Qi swiftly said, “There’s another person. One more person who could help us. Only if you are willing to meet him and say a few words, will he consider injecting funds into Xiao Corporation.

Lan Qianyu furrowed her eyebrows and looked at him angrily, “You’re not talking about Xiao Han? I couldn’t even…”

“Why would I let you go look for him?” Xiao Qi panicked, “I am talking about Ye Yan!”

Lan Qianyu felt her head ached when she heard the name. An intense panic grasped her heart. She lowered her gaze to prevent Xiao Qi from discovering her panic and helplessness. She pretended to be calm and asked, “What do you mean? How would he help us?”

“He will.” Xiao Qi held onto her hand and said desperately, “You saved him unintentionally previously so he owes us a big favour. I looked for him the other day and he said that if you ask him personally, he would consider injecting funds into the company.”

“Why were you looking for him?” Lan Qianyu lifted her head and looked at him sharply.

“I…” Xiao Qi was stunned and quickly explained, “Please don’t be mistaken. I didn’t look for him with the intention of using you as a bargaining chip. In fact, I had wanted to look for him before this. I tried my best to get close to him and curry his favor when I knew he came to Port Capital. That day he went to Youse and the VIP rooms were all occupied. I gave up my room to him so that he would have an impression of me. Therefore, when I went look for him on the second day, I didn’t mention about you shielding him from the bullet. He brought it up himself. However, I know you don’t like to ask for favours and deal with people in business, so I had never brought this up to you. But now, I really had no other choice but to bring this up.”

Lan Qianyu furrowed her eyebrows. Xiao Qi’s explanation was reasonable so she didn’t think too much of it, but she was a little disappointed with Xiao Qi. After so many years he was still the same. He panicked the moment Xiao Han came back. He couldn’t be bothered about anything and even discarded his pride to beg her to do things that she wasn’t willing to.

Actually, Xiao Qi was very popular in school. He was good in his studies, played a great game of ball and even played the piano. A lot of girls liked him and that was why Bai Lu went after him so crazily. He was very confident usually, but he changed whenever he met Xiao Han. Because, wherever Xiao Han appeared, he would cover his glory.

No matter how outstanding Xiao Qi was, he would pale in comparison in front of Xiao Han.
