The Favored Heiress

Chapter 717: Chapter 717: Retreat in the Face of Difficulties

“The Jing Family…” Shang Zonghai fell silent for a moment, “it’s good, after the Jing Family went bankrupt, they disappeared without a trace. Perhaps you’ll find some clues if you go take a look.”

This statement had an implied meaning, or it seemed like a deliberate reminder of something.

Li Qiao leaned back in her chair with a slight smile on her lips, “Dad, I promised you that I’d investigate the truth, so don’t worry. Even if it’s not in Parma, I’ll continue to investigate the Mu Family’s affairs.”

Shang Zonghai gave a few words of satisfied admonition. After hanging up the phone, he looked outside the tea room at the sky laden with dark clouds and heaved a sigh, his expression revealing a bit of helplessness.

Housekeeper Xiao, standing by his side, attempted to read his indecipherable mood and probed, “Master, what seems to be the matter?”

Shang Zonghai took off his Buddha Beads and rubbed them in his palm for a long time before letting out a wry chuckle, “A bold strategic retreat, it really caught people off guard.”

“This…” Housekeeper Xiao didn’t understand.

Shang Zonghai glanced at him, shook his head, and sighed, “I thought she had chosen to seek revenge for the Mu Family, but looking back now… this girl is just trying to fulfill my wish to get some answers.”

Housekeeper Xiao picked up the teapot to refill his cup, “You’re not satisfied?”

“It’s not about that,” Shang Zonghai tapped the table with his finger, “it’s just that she is too rational, choosing to leave Parma at this point in time, something even I hadn’t anticipated.”

Housekeeper Xiao pondered for a few seconds, “Haven’t you always said that no matter what she chooses, you would support her?”
