Chapter 63

"Who do you think I am? I take people's money, **." Pressed hard by Li Jiawei, Ning Yi twisted his body to gain some space, but... her body was really pressing against him tightly, so he could clearly feel two soft things pressing against his arm. Of course, it would be even better if she wasn't wearing a bra.

"Speak up!" Li Jiawei also felt something was off and immediately blushed, releasing Ning Yi. Her mind involuntarily recalled the scene where she had been seen naked by this guy.

She felt a wave of shame and anger, puffing out her chest and added fiercely, "If you give me any bad ideas, just wait and see what I'll do to you."

Ning Yi straightened his clothes and looked at her, "Hey, can you be a bit gentler? Right now, you're the one asking for help."

"Hmph..." Li Jiawei glanced at the check, seeing it was for 100,000 yuan, and sighed, muttering, "Really, my own mother, so I'm this cheap."

"Haha, Class President, don't be sad. This is just the fee your mother is paying me to find you." Ning Yi looked at Li Jiawei and rolled his eyes, "Do you think, with your mother's shrewdness, she would believe that a rich girl like you and a poor guy like me have anything going on?"

"You have a point." Li Jiawei ran her hand through her hair, took a hair tie, and casually tied her long hair into a ponytail. "But you tell me honestly, do I have any appeal to you?"

Ning Yi was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "Ha... I'm not interested in little girls like you..."

"What? Little girl? You're the little girl." Li Jiawei was instantly furious, puffing out her chest in defiance, "Do you think I look like a little girl? Huh?"

"Cough... cough..." Ning Yi suddenly realized he was 17 and quickly corrected himself, "No, what I mean is, in other people's eyes, we're both little kids. Of course, the Class President's charm is absolutely unparalleled..."

To be honest, Li Jiawei, with her youthful beauty, great figure, and pretty face, would be incredibly attractive if she weren't a student. Any man would be moved, and he was no exception.

"Hmph." Li Jiawei glared at him, "Alright, let's get back to the topic. Don't change the subject. Tell me, what do you think about the situation with Du Wen?"

Hearing this, Ning Yi's smile faded. He looked at her and asked, "The key to solving a problem lies with the one who created it. Can you tell me why your Li family wants to marry into the Du family?"

Li Jiawei crossed her arms, fell silent for a moment, then walked to the coffee table, crouched down, and rummaged around. She took out a deck of cards, drew eight, and laid them out on the table.

"In Haiyang District, there are currently six major families and two martial families. The six major families are the Fengying, Ma, Du, Chen, Ding, and our Li family. The two martial families are the Yang and Guo families."

"Among them, the Fengying family, of course, doesn't need to be mentioned. They are not only the top family in Haiyang District but also unmatched in the entire Haixi region... They are like the Big King!" Li Jiawei placed the Big King card.

Then she placed the Small King and explained, "Next is the Ma family. Their power in Haiyang District is second only to the Fengying family, and they are also the second major family in the Haixi region, so they are the Small King. These two families have been the top two for decades without any change."

"As for the remaining families, the Du, Chen, Ding, and our Li family, their positions have fluctuated over the years. Every five years, there is a major reshuffle, and the weaker ones are kicked out of the family alliance. Once you're out of the alliance, you not only suffer economically but also have to give up important resources. This is what no major family wants to see."

"To stay in the family alliance, it's simple. First, the family must have a certain economic scale. Second, the family must have enough martial artists, especially high-level ones. At the very least, you need a pillar that can be shown off, or achieve a high ranking in the family alliance's martial arts competition, earning respect."

"For our Li family, economic strength is not a problem. However, since my grandfather failed to advance to the Green level ten years ago and was injured, his strength greatly diminished. In the last martial arts competition, he barely won third place but was injured by the head of the Ma family during the match and passed away not long after. My father took over as the head of the family, but his strength is only at the late Orange level, and our overall strength has greatly declined. Out of necessity, we had to consider a marriage alliance."

"Among the major families, the Ma family and our Li family have a grudge due to my grandfather's death, so that's not possible. The remaining families, the Chen and Ding, are on the same side as the Ma family, and the Guo family is a lackey of the Ma family, so that's also not possible. Only the Fengying, Du, and Yang families have some interaction with the Li family. However, the Fengying and Yang families have no male heirs in their main line, and their side branches are afraid of me being wronged, so the Du family became the only choice..."

"I see." Ning Yi was enlightened and then asked, "But, isn't there the option of hiring martial artists? Your family is rich, so wouldn't it be easy to find guest martial artists?"

Li Jiawei sighed, "It sounds easy, but there are significant risks. High-level martial artists are independent and don't like being bound. If you bind them to your family, they won't be happy. Moreover, if your family hires someone more powerful than the entire family, wouldn't you be constantly on edge?"

Ning Yi nodded. He knew that in the past, many tragic events in major families were due to such situations.

Li Jiawei sighed deeply, "I know that marrying into the Du family is the best choice for the Li family. However, I didn't know that guy before, and now I know he has relationships with many girls and boasts about completing a thousand conquests before he turns thirty... What are you laughing at?"

Li Jiawei angrily swung her fist, staring at Ning Yi, who couldn't help but laugh.

"Nothing... a thousand conquests... that's impressive..." Ning Yi quickly stopped, "So the core of the problem is that the Li family has to sacrifice your happiness to maintain their current status, right?"

Li Jiawei rolled her eyes, "My parents aren't that bad. Since they found out about him, it's impossible. I know what they're thinking. They want to arrange an engagement and then delay it until the Fengying patriarch comes out of seclusion. But, the idea of me being engaged to that guy is like swallowing a fly. If I have to choose, I'd rather pick someone poorer but more ambitious and not have anything to do with him."

She suddenly stopped and glared at Ning Yi, "Not you, don't get too full of yourself."

Ning Yi pouted, "Alright, do you still want to hear my plan?"

"What plan?" Li Jiawei leaned in, and Ning Yi immediately caught a glimpse of the white, soft, and round things inside her collar...

"Looking at what..." Li Jiawei blushed, covering her collar with one hand and twisting his arm with the other, "Speak up."

Ning Yi awkwardly looked away, "Du Wen loves to show off, right? Tomorrow is a minor exam, and many people will be there. At that time, you should..."

Li Jiawei kicked him, "Are you kidding me!"

"I'm not kidding, listen to me! If it doesn't work, you... you can cut off my hand." Ning Yi said confidently.

"Cutting off your hand won't help. If you mess this up, my whole life will be ruined."

"Or you can cut off my... you know what." Ning Yi blurted out, losing his composure.

Li Jiawei blushed and angrily said, "You're really ruthless. Fine, if it doesn't work, don't think I won't take action."
