Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten

The news about the big four wealthiest families' election was the hot topic in Jingdu. Now that something terrible had happened to the Han family and then the Qiao family seemed to have also been implicated, many people were worried about the fate of the Qiao family.

Even though these two corporate giants seemed to be fighting to the death for a place in the big four, the Qiao family had been in the limelight because there weren't many wealthy families who would even dare to participate in this election. And, evidently, the strength between these two families was fairly evenly distributed.

With the Han family out of the picture, if the Qiao family could not take over the position, then there was always the possibility that a dark horse could come out of nowhere and gain a chance of being elevated.

The idea of blackmailing the Han Corporation about the kidnapping incident had indeed allowed the Qiao family to obtain a significant sum of money. No matter how angry and worried Qiao Dehao was, he could not do anything to Qiao Ximin.

They had experienced one loss and one gain. However, it was equivalent to all their hard work having been for nothing during this period.

Because of Qiao Ximin, Qiao Lixin had a good excuse to add insult to injury.

"Dad, look at her. She's been causing trouble again and again. It's already such a critical time, and yet she's still causing trouble. This will definitely affect the election the day after tomorrow. What should we do now?"

Qiao Lixin took advantage of the fact that he was in the good books of the Mu Corporation to add pressure to Qiao Ximin at this time.

Now that the Qiao family was about to become one of the big four wealthiest families, he could also become the legitimate young master of the Qiao family, one of the four great clans. If he failed to rise to that position because of Qiao Ximin, his joy would be short-lived.

Qiao Ximin had nowhere to vent her anger, especially after actually having been hit in the forehead by a reporter's microphone outside the entrance of the police station. She was still in pain, and when she heard Qiao Lixin adding salt to her wounds, she lost her temper.

"If you're so capable, why didn't I see you getting a large sum of money to help the Qiao family become one of the four great clans? Don't forget that we only managed to extort this money from the Han family because I was kidnapped. Otherwise, you'd still have to beg others to lend you money. Do you think you can borrow that much money from your group of friends? If the money you borrowed was exposed during the selection process, don't even think about becoming one of the big four wealthiest families! You're exactly the definition of brainless."

"Shut up! Do you think you're so capable? Isn't it because of you that our family is in trouble right now?"

"All right, both of you just shut up!" Qiao Dehao glared at the siblings and slammed his fist down on the table to shut them up.

"You can't blame Ximin for this. If she hadn't been kidnapped by the Han family, it would have been impossible for us to even try to become one of the big four wealthiest families. At this time, the Han family's losses are more severe than ours, and our chances of success are greater than the Han family's. Even if we have been implicated in this scandal, it's not such a big deal! We need to hold it together, and what big things we'll be able to accomplish in the future!"

Qiao Ximin finally heaved a sigh of relief after she heard Qiao Dehao's analysis of the situation. She did not want to argue with Qiao Lixin right now. The important thing now was to get the Qiao family to become one of the big four wealthiest families. When the Qiao family became one of the big four wealthiest families, she would have an 80 percent chance of winning the upcoming socialite ball.

She was planning to become the top socialite at the ball and dance with the Young Commander.

This was going to be her only chance to get close to the Young Commander and earn the envy of everyone. As long as she had this opening, she was certain that her charisma and scheming methods would be able to win over the Young Commander.

Qiao Ximin glanced at the news on the television screen and turned to look at Qiao Dehao. She asked with a lot of worry in her voice, "Dad, with such a big thing happening to the Han family, do you think they will ask the Prime Minister for help? The Prime Minister promised not to interfere in our conflict with the Han family, but with the current situation..."

"Since the Prime Minister has promised not to interfere, then he definitely won't. It is also a good thing for him that we are going to be one of the big four wealthiest families. He will think of a way to appease the Han family. We don't have to worry about this. Just make sure that you prepare for the election."
