Ye Lai seemed to be awake and even more confused. He mumbled, “Founder?”
Song Wenman and Ye Li hurriedly went forward to help him up.
However, Ye Lai was too heavy and the two of them did not use enough strength for a moment. Instead, it was Xue Sheng, who had also heard the commotion, who carried Ye Lai to the bed.
However, when he was placed on the bed, Ye Lai jumped up and rushed to the bookshelf. He flipped through it and found something wrapped in newspapers. He pa.s.sed it to Song Wenman. “Give the money to Lili. Don’t let her be bullied!”
Ye Li and Song Wenman looked at each other and sighed helplessly. He’s confused again.
Ye Li flipped open the stack of newspapers and saw that there was really a stack of money inside. Ye Lai held her hand tightly. “Give it to my daughter, Lili. Give it to her and not to anyone else.”
Ye Li felt her heart warm up. “Alright, Dad. I’ll give it to her! I’ll give it to her!”
Ye Li took the money and went upstairs. She knocked on Xue Xi’s door and pa.s.sed Ye Lai’s money to Xue Xi. “This is about five thousand yuan. Although it’s not much, it’s also your grandfather’s kind intentions. You don’t have much cash on hand, so just leave it for spending.”
Xue Xi took it and placed it aside. “Okay.”
Seeing that she still had to study, Ye Li did not speak further. She put down a bowl of milk and bird’s nest soup and left.
After she left, Xue Xi put down the pen in her hand and placed her grandfather’s money in the drawer. When she was closing the drawer, she noticed that there seemed to be something in the stack of money that was reflecting light. However, when she looked carefully, she could not see anything.
Xue Xi did not take it seriously. After closing the drawer, she picked up her phone.
She turned on her phone and sent a message to Omnipotent Boss: “Teacher, are you there?”
Xiang Huai, who had just returned to the provision store, replied instantly: “Yes, what’s wrong?”
In the provision store.
Xiang Huai sat there and thought about how he should visit his parents-in-law to comfort them tomorrow. From the looks of it, they seemed to have received a shock today.
When he saw the little kid’s message, he also thought that the little kid must have been frightened. So then, he would comfort her later and tell her that the founder of the G.o.d of Fortune Group was not that formidable…
Just as he was thinking this, he saw the little kid send a message: “Teacher, you can be considered a part of my family, right?”
Xiang Huai: “?”
He replied cautiously: “Mhm?”
Learning: “My boyfriend is the founder of the G.o.d of Fortune Group. Are you better, or is he better?”
Xiang Huai smiled. The little kid was indeed afraid.
He replied: “More or less the same.”
Learning: “That’s fine.”
Xiang Huai: “?”
Learning: “In the future, if he bullies me, remember to help me beat him up.”
Xiang Huai: “!!!!”
The corners of his lips twitched. He originally thought that the little kid was here to seek comfort, but it turned out that the little kid was here to look for help!
This action was so Xue Xi!
…
…
That night, Ye Li and Xue Sheng tossed and turned in bed and could not fall asleep.
At that time, Xiang Huai’s ident.i.ty did not have to be kept a secret. Moreover, he had made it public so openly. There were no secrets in the wealthy circle, and soon, the entire circle knew!
Xue Sheng’s phone kept ringing.
At first, the rest of the Xue family’s old employees had all called to say that they wanted to leave with him, but he rejected them all.
After that, the rest of the wealthy families came to express that they heard that he had resigned from his position as chairman, so they wanted to work with his new company in the future and were even willing to invest and support him.
Most of these were related to Qian Xin. Xue Sheng also tactfully rejected them and expressed that the new company would definitely cooperate if there was a chance.
In the Xue family’s old mansion, the birthday banquet did not seem like a birthday banquet. Xue Gui’s face had turned green. Liu Yiqiu was even more afraid that Xue Sheng would come back to take revenge on them. When Xue Yao thought of how Xue Xi’s boyfriend was actually so formidable, she became even more jealous and did not sleep the whole night.
In the end, Old Master Xue decided: “Everyone, go look for Xue Sheng tomorrow. Even if we have to kneel down and admit our mistake, we must invite him back! We must give him back his shares!”
Unfortunately, the first person to arrive at the Xue family early the next morning was not Old Master Xue, but Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li had not slept since last night.
The Li family’s business had encountered some trouble. They sold tea, but unfortunately, the tea trees on the mountain had encountered a problem this year. The yield of the tea leaves was extremely low, but they had huge pre-orders. Now that they could not produce the tea leaves, they had to face high compensation.
They had asked many people if they could buy tea leaves from them, but everyone’s stock was not enough.
When they heard that the Dai Mountain Tea Manor had a surplus of tea leaves, the Li family asked around and found out that it was the G.o.d of Fortune Group’s business. Hence, Mrs. Li wanted to get in touch with Qian Xin and ask him to sell the extra tea leaves to them.
This was originally a small matter. As long as she spoke to Qian Xin or Xue Xi’s boyfriend, the two of them could settle it with just one sentence.
After all, the extra tea leaves had to be sold. Who would they sell it to?
However, the Li family could not say this! The G.o.d of Fortune Corporation was such a huge business, so how could they possibly take the Li family seriously? Moreover, it was an emergency.
Now that she had heard of Xue Xi’s boyfriend’s ident.i.ty, Mrs. Li wanted to see if Xue Xi could make it happen for them.
Unfortunately, her husband had dealt her a blow early in the morning. Mr. Li said, “I heard that Qian Xin’s tea has a fixed buyer. This matter is even more difficult to discuss.”
If this business lost money, the family would not have any cash flow.
Mrs. Li did not want it to go this far and said, “I’d better give it a try!”
Mr. Li sighed. “It’s useless even if you try. Mr. Xiang is only in a relations.h.i.+p with Ms. Xue. How can he let a young lady interfere in his business? You have to know that when he did business back then, he disregarded his family!”
Mrs. Li gave up.
Mr. Li continued, “Moreover, they’re only a couple now and have yet to confirm their relations.h.i.+p. Ms. Xue might not be willing to make Mr. Xiang angry because of you. Moreover, she’s just a girlfriend. Mr. Xiang can’t possibly listen to a young lady like her, right?”
Mrs. Li knew that he was right.
However, for the sake of this family, she still went to the Xue family home early in the morning.
Even though she knew that she would hit a wall, she was still steadfast.
She had arrived too early and Xue Xi had yet to go downstairs. She was distracted and stuttered as she chatted with Ye Li for a while before seeing Xue Xi coming downstairs.
She was wearing her school uniform, and her baggy clothes made her look even thinner.
She carried a huge bag on her back that looked very heavy.
The young lady’s face was clean and she had a ponytail. On her young face, her huge eyes made her look pitiful.
Seeing her, Mrs. Li was even more speechless.
She should not make things difficult for a child.
In this relations.h.i.+p, Xue Xi was already at a disadvantage. If she were to plead for Mrs. Li, how could she raise her head in front of Mr. Xiang in the future?
Moreover, what if Mr. Xiang reprimanded the young lady?
Mrs. Li decided not to mention the purpose of her visit and simply watched as Xue Xi left the room with her breakfast.
Just as she was about to leave, she saw Xue Xi return. She stood in front of Mrs. Li and slowly asked, “Mrs. Li, do you have something to tell me?”
