Chapter 410 - 411: Are You Going to Target Xi Siwei?
The wedding was both simple and elaborate: vows, exchange of rings, the groom kissing the bride, and then the ceremony was complete.
After the ceremony, there was a luncheon. Lou Xi needed to go back to change out of her wedding dress, and Qin Mobai took Fu Sinian to a lounge.
"Why bring me here? The bride is in the bridal room." Fu Sinian was a bit surprised by Qin Mobai’s actions.
But he could see it—there was a hint of irrepressible annoyance on Qin Mobai’s face. It’s his wedding day, what could be bothering him?
"I was deceived by Shen Ruozhuo... no." Qin Mobai shook his head, "I was tricked by Xi Siwei."
"Your cousin, huh? What did he deceive you about?" Fu Sinian had heard from Qin Mobai that the Qin Family was currently in a struggle for the heir, and Xi Siwei was among the candidates Qin Sheng was considering.
However, Qin Mobai was ultimately part of the Qin Family, while Xi Siwei was always Qin Sheng’s daughter from another relationship and had the surname "Xi." Qin Sheng might weigh this heavily.
So for Xi Siwei to win the position of the Qin Family heir, he would likely have to topple Qin Mobai first.
"Lou Xi is the one who saved me fourteen years ago. Xi Siwei fed me false information, leading me to believe it was Shen Ruozhuo."
"That really is despicable." Fu Sinian shook his head, "But didn’t you always say that Lou Xi was the one you wanted to marry? Xi Siwei couldn’t deceive you even if he tried."
But...
"Do I look like the kind of person who suffers in silence?"
"Not at all." Fu Sinian shook his head, so... "Are you going to make a move against Xi Siwei?"
Fu Sinian felt something was off. Why did Qin Mobai call him in alone without Lu Li and Cen Jingyi?
This meant Fu Sinian was expected to put in the hard work.
"You know, my being in the Capital makes it not very convenient for me to help you deal with Xi Siwei. Lu Li is much more convenient, being right in Nancheng."
"If Lu Li acts, Grandpa will know it’s my doing. I don’t want to confront Xi Siwei this early." He always knew Xi Siwei was a difficult person, but this time, if he doesn’t teach Xi Siwei a lesson, he won’t be able to swallow it.
"Your grandpa knows we’re friends!" Isn’t it the same?
"I know you have a way."
"You son of a—"
Qin Mobai shot him a look, yes, don’t mention Qin Mobai’s mother.
"Fine, fine, since you’re the boss, I’ll accept my fate!" Fu Sinian was worn out, "Watch me not surpass you to be the boss next year, I’ll write my name ’Fu Sinian’ backward!"
Qin Mobai definitely heard that.
"Heh, surpass me, maybe in the next life." Qin Mobai said coldly, "Well, even in the next life it won’t happen."
Fu Sinian: "..."
But, willingly, Qin Mobai had that kind of charismatic appeal that made Fu Sinian, Lu Li, and Cen Jingyi willing to work for him, even though Fu Sinian and Cen Jingyi were not Qin Mobai’s subordinates.
Qin Mobai and Fu Sinian exited the lounge together, while Lou Xi also came out from the bridal room with the bridesmaids.
Lou Xi had changed into a bright red cheongsam because the old lady said Lou Xi would definitely look beautiful in a cheongsam.
Indeed, the old lady had never been wrong.
When Qin Mobai saw Lou Xi in the cheongsam, all the agitation that had accumulated in his heart dissipated.
Yes, today was his wedding with Lou Xi. He needed to be in high spirits to carry out the wedding procedures with his little girl.
Qin Moxi saw Fu Sinian and immediately shed her earlier restraint, leaping towards him as if forgetting the long lecture Fu Sinian gave her back in the Capital.
