The system only arrives when you're old? Then let's create a super-rich family!

In Beijing, at the Xie family's old residence.

The ancient courtyard is secluded and tranquil, with winding bluestone paths, lush bamboo groves, and babbling streams. A simple and elegant study sits deep within the courtyard, filled with the fragrance of sandalwood, creating a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

Xie Mingjing sat upright in a sandalwood chair, wearing a bespoke silver suit. He had a handsome face and a noble demeanor.

After hearing the news from his personal secretary about Jiangnan, he was slightly taken aback, and then a cold smile slowly appeared on his lips.

"You want my Xie family to publicly apologize?"

"The Qin family has truly lost their minds; they're incredibly arrogant and don't recognize their own limitations!"

He chuckled softly, his tone casual yet concealing a ruthless and unpredictable nature.

Previously, Bai Lingxi had personally intervened and forcibly protected the Qin family, forcing him to temporarily back down. He had always harbored resentment about this.

He was already seething with anger.

Now, Qin Zihao has made outrageous remarks in public and openly provoked the Xie family, which is tantamount to handing them a handle against him.

This time, it was the Qin family that started the trouble.

Even Bai Lingxi, and even the Bai family, no longer had any standing or reason to stop the Xie family from taking action.

Xie Mingqiu spoke calmly, saying, "A-Gui."

"Give the order that the original plan targeting the Qin family proceed as scheduled."

Xie Mingqiu spoke calmly, yet every word carried a murderous intent.

The refined secretary, A-Gui, who was standing to the side, immediately bowed and lowered his head, his posture extremely respectful.

"Yes, young master."

After everyone left, Xie Mingqiu was the only one left in the study.

He slowly got up and walked leisurely to the rockery and pond in the backyard.

The water in the pond gurgled, and a clump of tender bamboo sprouted from the soil on the bank. One of the bamboo shoots, which he had broken off the day before, still clung stubbornly to the branch, showing signs of sprouting again and growing against the odds.

Looking at this defiant young bamboo shoot, Xie Mingqiu's mockery deepened.

This tender bamboo shoot is just like the Qin family today. It seems to be rising against the odds and is proud and unyielding, but in reality, it is no match for the absolute foundation.

He raised his hand, extended two fingers, grasped the broken bamboo shoot, and pulled it up by the roots with great force.

Xie Mingqiu casually tossed it under his feet, then stomped on it with his leather shoes, repeatedly crushing the tender root into a lump of mud.

He then kicked the lump of mud directly into the pool below, leaving it to float and rot completely.

"This is the fate of the Qin family."

A moment later, A-Gui returned to report. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw his eldest son standing by the rockery, looking indifferent.

"This bamboo grove in the courtyard, uproot it completely, leave not a single stalk." Xie Mingqiu ordered calmly without turning his head.

"Replant with a batch of cold-resistant, shade-tolerant, and docile green plants."

Ah Gui understood immediately.

The eldest son is using bamboo as a metaphor for people, expressing his dislike for this kind of stubborn, defiant, and unrepentant nature.

The Qin family's arrogance today has thoroughly enraged him.

"I'll arrange it immediately." Ah Gui bowed and agreed, not daring to say anything more.

Meanwhile, the penthouse suite of a top-tier five-star hotel in Jiangbei City.

The neon lights outside the floor-to-ceiling windows are dazzling, and the bustling city can be seen in full view.

Bai Lingxi wore a simple white plaid shirt, her long, black hair flowing smoothly over her shoulders. The fitted shirt accentuated her slender figure, and her fair, long legs were faintly visible, giving her a cool and refined air.

She was sitting upright at her desk, tapping her fingertips on the tablet screen, quickly flipping through the massive amount of business documents sent from the Bai family headquarters, replying to each one in turn.

His expression was focused and serious.

Suddenly my phone rang; it was a message from my secretary.

[Miss, a letter has arrived from the Xie family saying that the Qin family has openly provoked them, and their previous promise to you is no longer valid.]

After reading the message, Bai Lingxi paused slightly, then sighed helplessly.

She wasn't surprised at all.

Judging from Qin Zheng's tone last night, she could roughly imagine how the Qin family would react when facing the Xie family.

After all, Qin Zheng didn't even put the Wang, Bai, and Li families in his eyes, so the Xie family was even less of a threat.

Since the Qin family doesn't appreciate our efforts, let them be.

She was too lazy to get involved anymore and waste her breath.

Bai Lingxi picked up her phone and replied:

[Let the Xie family avoid making any major moves this month.]

Her only concern was Wang Zhaoyue.

Wang Zhaoyue went to Qin Ziyang's live stream again today, her smile never fading.

She wanted to make sure Wang Zhaoyue had a happy month.

Then, as if remembering something, she asked again:

What were the results of the authentication of that dragon-shaped jade pendant?

The secretary responded extremely quickly.

【Miss, the jade pendant has been handed over to the top antique experts in the field for overnight appraisal. There is no definitive conclusion yet, but I will notify you as soon as the results are available.】

Bai Lingxi nodded slightly, understanding perfectly.

She stopped thinking about it and put it out of her mind.

Continue to focus on processing the large number of documents sent by the family.

Overnight, the news that the Qin family had publicly confronted the Xie family and demanded an apology from the Xie family spread like wildfire, instantly engulfing the entire elite circles of the Dragon Kingdom.

Countless small and medium-sized wealthy families were shocked and full of admiration.

Everyone admired the Qin family's courage and boldness in daring to confront the ancient Xie family, which had a profound and powerful foundation. Such courage and audacity were rare in the world!

The various ancient aristocratic families also scoffed at the Qin family's overestimation of their abilities.

The Xie family ranks below the Wang, Bai, and Li families, making them the fourth most powerful family in the world. Even the Wangs don't dare to speak loudly in front of the Xie family.

The Qin family's actions were nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot; they were simply overestimating their own strength.

Inside the Yuan family mansion, upon hearing the news, the head of the Yuan family couldn't help but laugh heartily, his face beaming with joy.

Previously, the Yuan family had been overwhelmingly defeated by the Qin family, losing a large number of core military industrial projects and suffering a severe blow. They had long harbored resentment and hatred.

They had also secretly planned to join forces with the Kong family to suppress the Qin family again and seek revenge.

Now look what's happened. The Qin family brought this upon themselves by provoking the Xie family, so there's no need for them to lift a finger.

A sinister glint flashed in the eyes of the Yuan family head as he muttered to himself, "Arrogance and conceit will inevitably lead to destruction."

"Once the Xie family wipes out the Qin family, those military projects will naturally become available again, and then they will be in the Yuan family's hands!"

Unlike these wealthy and powerful families, the Duanmu family, especially the Gongshu family, were filled with worry.

The Gongshu family and the Qin family are on the same side. It was only through the Qin family's huge investment and resource support that they were able to restart their declining industries and take over a large number of military supporting projects.

Future development and prospects depend entirely on the Qin family.

If the Qin family falls, their hope of rebuilding their family's glory will also be shattered.

And they knew better than anyone how terrifying the Xie family was.

The Xie family possesses a hidden wealth of 30 trillion yuan, with connections throughout the government and the public, and influence permeating all walks of life, far exceeding the scope of ordinary wealthy families.

In a contest of wealth, the Qin family might not be afraid, but at the level of the Xie family, money is no longer the decisive factor.

In terms of connections, power, social standing, and millennia of accumulated experience, the Qin family is far inferior.

The Qin family's backer, Lin Guolong, generally doesn't get involved in these kinds of family feuds; he just ends up reciting a book to intimidate others.

There will be no further support or assistance.

Not to mention, the Xie family also has powerful backers like General Lin, and in addition, they have influential figures from various circles standing in their ranks.

The Qin family has absolutely no chance of winning!
