Chapter 922 - Taking Revenge on the Person Who Insulted His Woman

Chapter 922: Taking Revenge on the Person Who Insulted His Woman
Si Yiyan pecked her on her lips as a form of
punishment
before laughing loudly while holding her in his arms.
You’re always out to mock me whenever you get the chance to. Others might not know this, but you should know that I’m a proper and upright businessman.

They then dropped the subject of drugs.
Avrora was seated beside Duke Moville, facing Wen Xinya. At this moment, she was incredibly infuriated by the sight of Rex flirting with and teasing Wen Xinya while holding her in his arms.
However, she began to get a grip on her emotions after thinking about what her grandfather had told her about letting Wen Xinya continue being smug, for she wouldn’t be happy for too long.
Duke Moville felt that it would be inappropriate to continue talking about the issue. After all, conversations between important figures were often established on appropriate topics. Otherwise, they would not be able to continue the conversation at all.
After making brief eye contact with Duke Mo, he said nonchalantly,
I heard that Rex faced some issues with the authorities in Myanmar. However, he’s buried the hatchet with them because of the drug bun. Clearly… there are no eternal feuds in this world, only benefits will last forever. All of these grudges can be forgone with after they’re resolved. How could they compare to the temptation of interests?
He paused for a moment before glancing at Si Yiyan and continuing,
Miss Bella, do you agree with me?

His words were full of hidden meanings and during his speech, he shifted his gaze from Duke Mo, towards Si Yiyan and lastly, to Wen Xinya.
That was the art of speech. Duke Mo had started a conflict with Lucifer and Si Yiyan had forged a feud with them all because of Wen Xinya.
Yet, Duke Moville decided to be the mediator between Lucifer and the Ivanov Family.
Since the strategy involving drugs did not work, they had to change their plan by working on the feud between Lucifer and the Ivanov Family. What a sly old fox.
She was the root of the problem. Hence, Duke Moville was merely trying to sound her out by asking those questions.
If she were to make her stand known, Si Yiyan would definitely not dwell on it.
Wen Xinya remained silent and smiled.
Si Yiyan raised his glass and sipped on some wine.
However, he was not insistent on making her speak. After all, a feud wouldn’t be a feud if it could be resolved so easily.
Three years ago, the Ivanov Family’s son, Anatoli, received a lashing by Rex for offending Miss Bella, and Miss Bella has also taught him a lesson just now. Rex, isn’t it time for you to take back your words about taking revenge for your wife?

Duke Mo was seated beside Duke Moville with a straight face, as if he were a clay statue.
He had beat around the bush just to be a mediator. It was not an easy feat!
Wen Xinya glanced at Si Yiyan in shock, surprised to hear that that was how Si Yiyan had taken revenge for her by teaching Anatoli a lesson for offending her. She felt that he sounded rather relentless.
Si Yiyan said calmly,
Duke Moville, you might not know this, but my father has once brought me to have my fortune read and the fortuneteller told me that I’m cursed with seven jinxes. I’m destined to be cruel, relentless, ruthless, devoted, erratic, unpredictable and rebellious.

He was just trying to say that he was not going to be manipulated easily. A sullen expression formed on Duke Moville’s face and he asked,
Rex, what do you mean?

Si Yiyan smiled and said,
I was born to be rebellious and defiant. I’ll never allow myself to be threatened. Ever since the Ivanov Family threatened me, I’ve been keeping this feud in mind. And since it’s a feud, how can it be resolved easily?

His words were harsh and his tone was cold. He was clearly referring to the matter about the Ivanov Family threatening him with a bunch of hair.
Duke Moville’s face grew sullen.
Duke Mo finally looked up and said,
There’s bound to be conflict in business. Rex, aren’t you overreacting?

Si Yiyan began to squint slowly.
Wen Xinya raised the emerald wine goblet on the table and began pouring some wine into Si Yiyan’s cup. She smiled coquettishly and said,
Well said, Sir. Money is hard to earn, and we’re risking our lives to deal with firearms. Of course there’s going to be conflict. No one else would have the guts to deal in this industry unless they don’t care about their family.

She managed to insult Duke Mo indirectly while embarrassing Duke Moville.

Miss Bella, you’re right.
Duke Moville’s temples began to throb, finding himself to have made the worst decision ever by allowing her to stay in the room. He looked at Duke Mo and said,
Did you hear that, Duke Mo?

Duke Mo hung his head low to express his submission.
Si Yiyan bit Wen Xinya’s ear gently and said smilingly,
Baby, turns out you actually know about the unspoken rules too!

Although he seemed to be complimenting Wen Xinya, he was mocking Duke Mo for failing to understand a simple rule that even an ignorant young girl did.
Wen Xinya smiled and said,
You said before that rules come first in business, so I definitely know a thing or two.

Duke Moville began sulking. He found it to be unreasonable for him to be the mediator since Duke Mo was the one who broke the rules first.
Si Yiyan looked at Duke Moville sternly and said,
Just like Bella said, money is not easy to earn, especially in the firearms business. Not everyone can deal with it. Back then, I spoke to the Ivanov Family and told them that only the genuinely capable ones can deal in the firearms business. Yet, they refused to heed my advice and now that things have gone awry, they decide to blame me for it. I really don’t care about this business. Anyone who wants to do it can take over.

He was just trying to say that the Ivanov Family had landed in such a state because of their incompetence and that they ought not to blame him for it. He had also pointed out… that the Ivanov Family had snatched the firearms business away from Lucifer.
Duke Moville’s and Duke Mo’s faces stiffened. Indeed… anyone could take over the business, but how were they supposed to make it flourish without the supply of raw materials?
He was clearly just mocking them.
Wen Xinya nudged Si Yiyan and placed the wine glass near his lips.
Don’t get too carried away with talking and forget to drink!
