Meanwhile , In a Luxury Bungalow in England :

"Is everything fine over there , brother ?", Xi Fang looked at Xi Yuan worriedly as soon as the man disconnected the call.

Xi Yuan smiled ,"Yeah. Xinghe said that she has named the baby - 'Lu Alix'. Both Senior Lu and Mrs. Lu wanted her to name the girl. Other than that , she has just attacked Zhou empire. Thankfully , she is back to her confident self now."

"Was Xiao Xinghe blaming herself for this ?", Xi Fang asked.

The man nodded ,"I was scared when she said that she was accusing herself for the entire situation. She thought that this incident was her fault indirectly."

"You know what brother , I sometimes feel that your love is like an antidote for Sis-in-law. She tends to forget about her past whenever she hears your voice or looks at you. With this pace , I am sure that you will win her heart pretty soon."

Xi Yuan raised his brows ever so slightly ,"You think so ?"

Xi Fang smiled ,"Xiao Xinghe is different from other girls. You need to be patient when it comes to loving her."

"Hmm."

While the two brothers were chatting , a dark shadow was listening to their conversation from behind the door.

When he heard that Xi Yuan loved a woman and that woman was Rong Xinghe , Xi Chonglin broke down in a cold sweat.

Without listening to another word , he turned around and headed to his bedroom. Initially , he wanted to welcome his son and nephew to England but the news he received just now was much too important. If Xi Yuan and Rong Xinghe were to unite , just how scary would that be...

As soon as Xi Chonglin entered his bedroom , he closed the door and locked it from inside. He then approached his wife Luo Youyou.

"What happened ?", Luo Youyou asked as she noticed her husband's weird behavior.

"What is our son Fang doing for family inheritance , Youyou ?! If everything keeps happening like this , Yuan will eventually end up converting dad's temporary will into a permanent one !", Xi Chonglin sat down on the bed and gulped down a glass of water anxiously.

"Wh...What happened to you all of a sudden ? What is going on ?", Luo Youyou felt like something was amiss. Xi Chonglin would never behave that way until and unless something serious had happened.

"I was about to knock on Yuan's door just now when I heard that he likes a girl. He has fallen for her and even intends to marry her.", the old man rubbed his face with an exhausted expression.

"What ? Yuan likes a girl ?! Are you sure? I mean he has never been involved in a relationship earlier... Who is she ?", Luo Youyou felt difficulty in accepting this piece of news.

"Rong Xinghe.", Xi Chonglin looked at his wife seriously.

"Huh ?!"

"Military Chief of Country X , Rong Xinghe !", the old man repeated.

"That's... How could it... ? Yuan couldn't possibly love her... She doesn't have a family. She isn't a socialite. She is nothing when compared to him.", Luo Youyou directly deemed Rong Xinghe ineligible to be Xi Yuan's life partner.

"Are you seriously looking down on her ?!", Xi Chonglin raised his voice ,"Do you even know how capable that one girl is ? She is not just the highest military authority of Country X , but has a strong backing of Lu , Zhi and Su family. Her contacts range from entertainment industry to underworld and politics. If its about comparing Yuan and her , then both of them are powerful equally. And that is the biggest concern here."

When Luo Youyou heard about the frightening powers backing up Rong Xinghe , she felt a chill run down her spine. Was the girl really so mighty ? Last time she saw her was at Xi Yue's wedding in New York. But at that time , didn't the girl looked like a simple and delicate individual ?

"How is her power an issue here ?", Luo Youyou tried to understand Xi Chonglin's words.

"Where have you lost your senses today , Youyou ? Currently , no other girl in this age range is as successful as her. She is so good at multitasking that she is handling Country X's military as well as Zhi Corporations single handedly. Same is the case with Yuan. He is managing both Xi and Lu Corporations together.

"No matter which girl Fang likes , she can't be as noteworthy as Xinghe. What do you think will happen if Yuan and Xinghe gets married ?

"I wanted Fang to marry before Yuan so that he could have a strong standing among the members of Board of directors in Xi Corporations. That way , he could rightfully fight for the position of Presidency of Xi Empire with the support of his wealthy and mighty in-laws.

"But now , even if Fang marries before Yuan , it wouldn't be of any use. Because once Rong Xinghe enters Xi family and stands by Yuan's side , his influence and stand will automatically double up. After that , it will be impossible for Fang to become the CEO.", Xi Chonglin explained calmly.

After some seconds of silence , Luo Youyou finally said ,"Do you really think that Fang would want to fight with his brother over power and wealth ? He respects Yuan a lot. To him , Yuan is above any god. Why do you want to make them lock horns with each other so much? Why do you hate Yuan? What has he done wrong ?"

"Nothing. Yuan is a good man and I don't want to hurt him. He is just like his grandfather. Sharp, intellectual and talented. If he wants something , no one can stop him. But the only problem is that he is not our son.

"Don't you want Fang to be successful as well ? Or do you want our son to simply live as a shadow of his brother ? Fang is my heir. He should not be on the receiving end of the stick. Presently , Yuan decides what Fang , Ying and Wei would do in the company.

"Why should Yuan write their destiny ? Just because he is in power , right ? That is why I value power so much. Years ago , this was the exact reason that I and brother Chongkun had fought against each other. Weak has to bow down to the strong and I don't want to see Fang kneeling in front of Yuan. I don't hate Yuan. Its just that I love my son and I want to secure his future.", Xi Chonglin revealed his intentions.

Luo Youyou nodded her head in agreement. They were Xi Fang's parents and not Xi Yuan's. At the end of the day , they had to take Xi Fang's future into consideration.

No matter how much Xi Fang loved and respected his brother and no matter how much the world admired Xi family's internal harmony and unity , she was only Xi Fang's mother. She was bound to prioritize Xi Fang , Xi Ying and Xi Wei over Xi Yuan.

And when it came to power and wealth , arguments were inevitable in a business family. After all , this was not the first time that Xi family was going to get into disagreements over the position of CEO. Years ago , Xi Chonglin and Xi Chongkun had battled each other as well.

And it was due to this fight of theirs that Xi Yuan had lost the most important people in his life back then. He was a mere eighteen year old youngster when he had to shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the entire Xi Corporations.

But what could she do ? Just because of that , she couldn't let her son suffer. No matter what , she had to ensure that Xi Fang would replace Xi Yuan one day.

"So... what should we do ?"

Xi Chonglin shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly ,"We need to push Fang to find a girl as soon as he can.

"Also , try to create a negative impression regarding Rong Xinghe in brother Chongkun and sis-in-law Li Jungah's eyes. The fact that she was abandoned by her own family will surely help.

"Lastly , we need to shift back to Country X. If we will live closer to them , there will be more opportunities for us to break apart Xi Yuan and Rong Xinghe."
