Xi Mushan put his empty glass down when Xi Xiaye asked him the question. He looked at Xi Xiaye and nodded. "Kind of. It's similar to the Xi family and the Han family. They are both big families in City Z."

Xi Xiate poured more wine for Xi Mushan while he went on.

When she was reminded about what Shen Yue had told her, Xi Xiaye thought that Xi Mushan might know a bit more, so she asked straightforwardly, "I heard that Qikai had some **** background before, and they cleansed their name afterward. Is the current Qikai the product after their cleansing?"

Xi Mushan's face was strained for a moment when he heard Xi Xiaye's question. He drank from the glass again before replying, "That's true, but it's been decades. Back then, **** was popular, but afterward, the government became strict with the law. Consequently, companies like Qikai were found out, but of course, the government could not get rid of all of them, so Qikai survived."

Xi Mushan paused, then went on, "Your grandfather was involved in this case back then. He was the head of the Inspection Department. All these years, Qikai had been working with Yueying. I'm not really sure about what's going on with the Qi family, but your grandfather should know more."

Xi Xiaye nodded. "Got it."

"Now that Glory World is challenging Qikai, aren't you guys confident?" Xi Mushan asked quietly, "The tender should be on the day after tomorrow. You guys don't have to be that nervous."

Xi Xiaye took a deep breath. "I've done what I could, and I did my best, so I'll let him handle the rest."

Xi Xiaye sipped some wine and asked. "Father, have you heard about the car accident involving the Qi family's eldest son, Qi Feng, that happened five years ago? I heard the current Master Qi is actually the second son of the Qi family..."

"The second son of the Qi family?"

Xi Mushan repeated the name and squinted his eyes. He swigged a bit of wine as a faint light flashed in his eyes. "Qi Feng... I've seen him before. Although he's Qi Qiming's illegitimate son, he held great importance in the Qi family, even higher than the current Qi Lei."

"Even higher than Qi Lei? Then, why didn't Qi Qiming marry Qi Feng's mother?" Xi Xiaye was puzzled.

"I'm not so sure about that. I only know that Qi Qiming treated Qi Feng very well. Some years ago, he had already decided to let Qi Feng take over Qikai. I heard Qi Feng was heavily injured after the accident, then I never heard about him anymore. I think he didn't make it."

Xi Xiaye did not ask any further questions. She downed her glass and looked at Xi Mushan opposite her, her hands clenched into fists as she placed them on her legs. She was struggling about whether she should say something.

Xi Mushan noticed that she was troubled and seemed to want to say something, but was holding herself back. "What's wrong? Speak if you have something to say. Don't keep it in."

Xi Xiaye took a deep breath and looked at Xi Mushan quietly. "Father, is it... really impossible for you and Mother to go back to before? I don't understand. You still love Mother, and Mother loves you too. How did this happen? Every time I see Mother's lonely expression, I..."

"She told you that she still loves me?"

Xi Mushan's grip around the glass tightened whilst a light flickered in his dark eyes as he stared at Xi Xiaye. She looked at him quietly, having caught the hope in his eyes that was slowly reviving.
