nFor some reason, Xue Xi felt that Xiang Huai did not need her father’s protection.

nEveryone said that Xiang Huai had fallen out with Qian Xin and Lu Chao and left the God of Fortune Group. However, Xue Xi, who was eating with the two of them, knew Lu Chao’s attitude toward Xiang Huai very well.

nXiang Huai could do whatever he wanted with Lu Chao and was rude.

n

n

nLu Chao did not have any complaints. He seemed a little afraid of him, and because he was afraid of him, he was very polite to him.

nHence, Xiang Huai’s relationship with Qian Xin should not be as bad as everyone had imagined.

nJust as she was about to speak, Old Lady Xue said again, “Son, think it through carefully! It’s not enough to use the entire Maosheng Group to fight with Qian Xin! Are you going to bring your family to bankruptcy?”

nBefore Xue Sheng could speak, Ye Li said, “Mom, if you think that Xue Sheng managing the company is a risk, then sell your shares to our family!”

n

n

nOld Lady Xue paused. “What did you say?”

nYe Li stared at her. The woman who had earned a lot of money was rich and generous. She said, “Since you’re afraid of being implicated, go back and discuss with your second son. See how much your shares are worth and sell them to our family! In this way, we won’t implicate you even if we fall out with Qian Xin!”

nXue Sheng’s eyes lit up when he heard Ye Li’s words.

nIn the past two months, the company had made dividends. Coupled with Ye Li’s sale of the paintings, their family might really be able to buy Xue Gui and Old Lady Xue’s shares.

n

n

nIf he bought it back…

nXue Sheng thought about how Xue Gui’s people would always go against him. Without them, the company would become even better!

nYe Li had suffered. She had just earned money and wanted to compensate him.

nHowever, he and Ye Li were a family and could not be separated. In order to make this family feel more comfortable, this could be considered as them trying to have a clearer relationship with the Xue family!

nXue Sheng nodded. “I think it’s fine.”

nUnexpectedly, Old Lady Xue pointed at Ye Li angrily. “Alright, you have ill intentions. You’re determined to destroy our Xue family! Not only have we split up, but we must also split up our company? Xue Sheng, look at how well you’ve married!”

n

n

nXue Sheng was stunned.

nWhat was his mother thinking? Why did she feel that Ye Li was harming him?

nXue Sheng could not understand Old Lady Xue’s thoughts.

nHe frowned and said, “Mom, why don’t you go back and ask Dad what he wants? Or should I call Dad and ask him to fetch you home?”

nOld Lady Xue sneered. “Why do you think I am here? Qian Xin is coming to Bin City. How else can I know about this? How can I know who Qian Xin is?! This is your father’s intention!”

nXue Sheng’s pupils shrank.

nYe Li also tensed up.

nOld Lady Xue sneered. “Anyway, I’ve already sent the message. Either you give the chairman position to your brother, or your family will replace that gigolo!”

n

n

nAfter saying that, she stood up. “I’ll leave first. Son, consider it carefully!”

nEven after she left the living room, Xue Sheng did not return to his senses.

nOld Master Xue had always doted on him. He had always felt that the only reasonable person in the Xue family was Old Master Xue, but how could he…

nJust as Xue Sheng was thinking this, Song Wenman said, “Don’t let your thoughts go astray. Your father’s intention is to make you keep a distance from Xiao Xiang. If you’re doubtful, go make a phone call. Don’t let anyone pass a message between you and the old patriarch.”

nXue Sheng returned to his senses.

nHe nodded and picked up his phone to walk to the side. After answering the phone, the old patriarch said, “Your mother has already said everything, right? Qian Xin is coming. You guys should keep a distance from that gigolo for the time being. Anyway, Xue Xi is still young and it’s fine even if she’s not sure about their relationship. It’s impossible for Qian Xin to stay here forever. You guys can do whatever you want when he leaves.”

nXue Sheng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. He asked, “Did you otherwise intend that I give the chairman position to my brother?”

nOld Master Xue was instantly shocked. “Why should you give it to my second son? He’s such a bastard. How can he be the chairman?”

nHence, this was not the Old Master’s intention.

nThe old lady was faking an imperial edict!

nXue Sheng sneered. In the end, he did not say anything bad about the old lady. Anyway, even if he did, the old patriarch could no longer control the old lady.

nAfter hanging up, Xue Sheng returned to relay the exchange. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Song Wenman said, “I told you that you’re the only one in your family who knows how to do business. How can your father let you go?”

nThe old patriarch valued family assets more than anything else. He still had a view of the bigger picture!

n

n

nAfter dinner, they returned to their rooms to rest.

nThe next day, Xue Xi went to Bin City International High School to continue class.

nYe Li had originally intended to let her rest for two more days, but Xue Xi had delayed for a month, so she rejected Ye Li’s suggestion.

nShe carried breakfast to the provision store early in the morning.

nAfter a month, she came to this provision store again. Looking at the words “Ye Lai Xiang,” she felt a sense of familiarity.

nShe lifted the curtain and subconsciously looked at the counter when she entered. She saw that there was an unfamiliar man sitting at the place Xiang Huai usually sat.

nThe man looked rougher and had a thick gold necklace around his neck. He had a very expensive watch on his wrist and a gem ring the size of a pigeon’s egg on his finger. He was on the phone and sounded like he was from the northeast. “… Yes, that bed is too uncomfortable. Where are you? Get a custom-made mattress for Boss and send it over!”

n“Also, the water here is actually ordinary mineral water. Bring a few buckets of mountain spring water over. Also, this provision store is too small! Get a few people, go to the side to discuss the store and expand it.”

n“There’s also a plaque. Lu Chao is too perfunctory when it comes to work. Let’s change it to something else…”

nJust as he said this, he heard someone coming. He said, “Wait a while. I have someone here.”

nWhen he lifted his head and saw Xue Xi, he sized her up from head to toe before landing on the breakfast in her hands.

nThis person instantly stood up. “Sister-in-law?”

nXue Xi: “?”

nAfter this person called her sister-in-law, he directly said to the other end of the line, “I still have other matters to attend to here. I’ll hang up first. We’ve already agreed that you don’t have to mess around with me. Give me the most expensive things here! Buy whatever is expensive!”

nAfter hanging up, this person rushed over. “Sister-in-law, I’m San Jin1!”

nAfter saying that, he fished out a box from his pocket and passed it to her. “Sister-in-law, this is my greeting gift to you!”

nXue Xi lowered her head and saw San Jin open the box. There were actually more than ten different colored gems inside.

nXue Xi: “…”

n1 Translates to “three golds”
