Xiao Ruoxuan said, “Daddy, what have you been doing? Explain it to Mommy properly.”

Xiao Lingbo sighed and threw the thing in his hand in front of them. He said, “Alright, I’ll tell you what I’ve been doing. Look at this. The Xiao family is finished.”

On the table was the notice of bankruptcy. Xiao Ruoxuan could not care less about Madam Xiao’s feelings anymore. She picked it up in disbelief and took a closer look. After confirming that it was the Xiao Corporation, she exclaimed, “Dad, what’s going on?”

Xiao Lingbo said, “Someone is messing with our Xiao family behind our backs. If we can’t clear this hurdle, we will be doomed.”

Madam Xiao no longer threw a tantrum and muttered, “We’re finished…”

Xiao Lingbo said, “That might not be the case. We still have a chance at survival, Ruoxuan.”

He suddenly called Xiao Ruoxuan’s name. She looked up at him.

He said, “Where is the amulet you took last time? Give it to me.”

Xiao Ruoxuan understood what he meant almost instantly. “You mean the person behind this is Cheng Yang?”

Xiao Lingbo nodded and said, “What he wants is this amulet. This is also our only chance to turn the situation around.”

Xiao Ruoxuan did not want to give it to him. This was her only chance to see Cheng Yang. Besides, the amulet was no longer with her.

Xiao Lingbo reached out his hand again and said, “Give me the amulet first.”

Xiao Ruoxuan walked into the room and took out a bag from the bedside. There was an amulet inside. Of course, she had not found it. Instead, she had gotten someone to make a new one.

She handed the amulet to Xiao Lingbo, who took a glance at it and put it away.

Xiao Ruoxuan heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the fake amulet worked. She had made this amulet to scale. It looked identical to the real amulet.

Xiao Lingbo found Cheng Yang the next day with the amulet.

Assistant Lin entered Cheng Yang’s office and said, “President Cheng, President Xiao of the Xiao Corporation wants to see you.”

Cheng Yang was not surprised. He nodded and let him in.

Xiao Lingbo sat on the sofa in his office with some reservations. He handed the amulet to him and said, “Master Cheng, take a look at this. It’s what you wanted last time.”

Cheng Yang did not take it. Instead, he gestured for him to put it on the table and said, “You’ve learned quite a bit this time.”

Xiao Lingbo smiled bitterly. Wasn’t it because this lord was too ruthless? He had nearly taken his life the moment he attacked.

Cheng Yang glanced at the things on the table and nodded. “Go back. Your company is fine now.”

This directly admitted that he was the one who had caused the Xiao Corporation’s accident. Xiao Lingbo did not dare make any requests as he hurriedly thanked him and left.

Cheng Yang returned home with the amulet. When Xiao Ying approached him, he said mysteriously, “Do you know what I got?”

Xiao Ying cocked her head and guessed, “A gift?”

Cheng Yang nodded and said, “Sort of. Guess what gift?”

Xiao Ying made a few guesses, but Cheng Yang said none of them were correct. This made things difficult for her.

She suddenly reached out to snatch it away, but Cheng Yang raised his hand as expected. The height difference made Xiao Ying not able to control her body well and fell straight towards him.

Cheng Yang hugged her with his other hand and said, “You want to seduce me?”

Xiao Ying stepped on his foot resentfully. Cheng Yang’s expression froze as he obediently handed her the thing in his hand and said, “Your temper is getting worse.”

He recalled how cute and obedient she had been when he had first raised her.

Cheng Yang, who was complaining in his heart, had never considered this to be the result of his indulgence.

Xiao Ying looked at the amulet in her hand in surprise and shouted, “Brother, how did you get it?”

Cheng Yang did not tell her about those things. Instead, he said simply, “I swapped with the Xiao family..”
