Yun Xi looked coldly at Han Yaotian’s expression that slowly turned sour, and she playfully grinned before letting out a sigh.

“Looks like the one inside is your father’s favorite son, huh? Why would your father protect him so much if he wasn’t important?”

“Shut the hell up!” Han Yaotian roared as he raised his head to stare at the man behind the glass. His voice was starting to turn hoarse as he almost lost control of his emotions.

“Now that you know you have a brother, you should start worrying about yourself,” Yun Xi said. “You know, I’m not the type of person who likes to live under another person’s shadow. I’ll always take what’s mine, even if it means that I have to resort to despicable means. Unless I have a firm grip on what’s mine, I won’t feel like I own it.”

Han Yaotian looked into Yun Xi’s clear and determined eyes with a shocked expression. He felt as if he was being hit by a truck and it took him a few seconds to recover.

She was right. Only when he gripped what belonged to him firmly in his hands would it then be his.

He still wasn’t the head of the Han family. Even if he risked everything for the family, he would never get what he wanted. As long as his half-brother remained alive, Han Hongbin would eventually abandon him and give everything that was supposed to be his to his brother.

Han Yaotian wanted to lead the Han family. He wanted all of it, and he was ready to resort to any means necessary to achieve that.

“Why is he here? Did he do something that offended you?” Even though that was what he had asked, he was much more interested as to why Yun Xi would bring him there.

“He did offend me, but that isn’t the focus here. Now that I have him, he won’t be able to leave unless I say so. Yet, I can’t say for sure how long I can keep him here, but I can assure you that he’ll be here until you get what you want. Just think of it as a thank you for returning my gold bracelet to me.”

Han Yaotian blinked with mixed emotions. The lady in front of him was smarter, and much more resourceful than he thought.

“So, this is the trade you wanted to talk about?”

Yun Xi shook her head, “I’m sure it won’t be easy for you to devour the whole Han family right now, am I wrong? Your family has just been removed from the Big Four Conglomerate Families and is in a pinch. Not only that, the Mu family and Shen family have been troubling you in the past few days too. Do you know why?”

“Why?” Han Yaotian was once again caught by surprise.

“Because I’m the one who’s in the center of everything. Your father tried to kidnap me, but I was lucky enough to get out alive and unharmed. The Young Commander and the Eldest Heir seem to have learned about that, and they are punishing your family for doing so. It seems like you didn’t know about it, huh?”

Yun Xi thought that Han Hongbin would’ve come clean with Han Yaotian about the incident, but judging from the man’s reaction, it seemed as if his father did not tell him about anything.

The most explainable reason that Han Hongbin would try to hide the incident from Han Yaotian was that the latter had been trying to get Yun Xi on his side.

Yun Xi had to thank Han Hongbin for keeping his mouth shut. Now, she could use that to her advantage and cause a rift between him and his son.

Han Yaotian’s expression changed immediately. He looked like an angry beast that was about to go on a rampage.

He quickly learned that he wasn’t trusted by his father.

“I-I didn’t know about that. He never once told me about it…”

The man had sacrificed a lot to try and get Yun Xi on his side. There was no way he would want to be a part of her kidnapping himself.
