Chapter 109: Birthday Present
Yan Kuan’s birthday present to Shen Xiaoxiao had truly touched her heart.
Previously, when she had discussed with Third Uncle, she had also said that she would go to the law firm to go through these formalities after her 18th birthday. However, it was said that Third Uncle had gone to the law firm a few times a year ago. This matter was not something that could be simply said.
Just the real estate that had been rented out by the Liu family over the years was the biggest problem, not to mention the Shen family’s old mansion that was currently occupied by the Liu family.
There was also an office building that was currently occupied by Liu Qianmin’s younger brother, Liu Qiangui. It was a small construction materials company that was attached to the Shen Enterprise.
In order to take back these Shen Xiaoxiao herself, she still needed to make a complete plan. It would take at least half a year to complete the task. However, Yan Kuan had easily brought these to her.
How could she not be surprised?
“Are those industries still in the leasing state?”
Yan Kuan smiled mysteriously and said to Shen Xiaoxiao, “Other than the Liu family, the rest have been taken back. As for when those in the Liu family’s hands will be taken back, it depends on your mood. You can give them a severe warning whenever you want.”
“The same goes for your ancestral house. It depends on your intentions. However, with the shares you currently hold in the Shen Enterprise, it will be easy for you to enter the Board of Directors.”
“Moreover, according to what I know, that old man still has 10% of the shares in his hands. He will naturally hand them over to you. This way, you will have 45% of the shares in your hands, and you will definitely win against the Liu family.”
“Of course, there is also the possibility that the Liu family will react and buy the shares in Second Master Xin’s hands.”
“However, the following things will have to be done by you, little thing, yourself, including buying the shares in Second Master Xin’s hands. All of this will have to be done by you yourself. You won’t disappoint me, right?”
“Of course, that’s enough. I will do it personally from now on.”
“However, I think it’s better to cancel the engagement right now. I don’t like you having another man’s mark on you.”
Shen Xiaoxiao smiled at first, but then she frowned. Was Yan Kuan doing this to get the half-key or for her?
Once this thought popped up in her mind, she couldn’t get it out of her mind. If Yan Kuan had spent so much money to help her cancel the engagement, then his goal must be the half-key, right? Would he spend so much effort to do this?
“No matter what, thank you.”
Yan Kuan raised his eyebrows and did not say anything. As he watched her sign one doc.u.ment after another, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his lips. As he looked at the doc.u.ments, his expression was inexplicable. ‘Good girl, sign it. Even if you don’t sign it, you can forget about escaping from my grasp for the rest of your life.’
School had started before the Lantern Festival. As a listening student, she naturally would not go to school now. She only needed to go when she had cla.s.ses. However, because she was accompanied by 19, she did not move away again.
What made Shen Xiaoxiao curious was that Third Uncle did not seem to realize that she did not actually live in that small apartment.
Third Uncle might know, but he did not ask. Shen Xiaoxiao could only pretend that he did not know.
In the school archives room
Pei Li flipped through the information in the Archives Room. He did not expect to see the girl named Lin Weiwei in a cla.s.s that the professor asked him to help teach.
This meeting made him very happy. He thought that it would take some effort to find the girl named Lin Weiwei, but it turned out to be like this. However, when he really asked someone to look for her, he realized that the girl was too mysterious.
However, he still found some clues, and her ident.i.ty made Pei Li curious.
The daughter of the Lin family, or more accurately, the posthumous child left behind by Lin Jiadong’s rural wife, had disappeared at the same time as the eldest daughter of the Shen family.
When Pei Li had just received this news, he was too surprised. He had not expected this young lady to have such an ident.i.ty.
But why didn’t she return to the Lin family? And who was the bodyguard behind her? Where did she go all these years? What did she experience? Why was she so mysterious the moment she returned?
The Lin family already knew about this news. When he sent the news over, the Lin family was puzzled for a long time. He did this because he wanted to see if this Miss Lin Weiwei was related to the eldest daughter of the Shen family.
After all, in name, the missing eldest daughter of the Shen family bore the name of Pei Li’s fiancée.
They had gone missing together back then. What if there was some other news? He didn’t want to miss it.
However, this Miss Lin Weiwei made him more and more interested. Although he had found her information, she was quite mysterious. Plus, it was near the New Year, so he didn’t spend much time looking for her. However, he didn’t expect to see her when he just arrived at school.
This surprised him.
“Miss, someone is following us!”
19 suddenly interrupted Shen Xiaoxiao’s focus on reading. She was slightly stunned and turned her head to look. A black sports car followed closely behind. Shen Xiaoxiao only needed to look at the car to know that it was Pei Li.
The corner of her lips curled up in a mocking smile. She said to 19, “Go to Third Uncle’s place. Don’t worry about him. Let him follow us. I want to see what he wants to do.”
“Yes.”
19 received the order and naturally started the car slowly. The sports car behind him could only drive at a speed of at most 40 km/h and slowly wander on the road.
With this speed, who knew how many tickets he would receive? The driver of the SUV in front of him was really a genius.
Pei Li suppressed his restless heart and continued to patiently follow the SUV. They only stopped when they reached a real estate development under their banner.
Seeing a familiar place, Pei Li smiled. “So this is where he lives.” Finding where she lived made everything easier.
“Miss, he has already left.”
“En, don’t bother. Let’s go. Let’s go upstairs.”
Shen Xiaoxiao brought 19 back to Third Uncle’s house. Third Uncle had already prepared lunch. It was the coldest in the early spring when the snow melted. As soon as he finished a bowl of hot mutton soup, he heard a knock on the door.
Shen Xiaoxiao lowered her head and smiled. She said to 19, “Go and open the door. Maybe some big shot has arrived.”
Third Uncle was stunned when he heard Shen Xiaoxiao’s words. What did Xiaoxiao mean?
19 put down the bowl and walked toward the entrance. When the door opened, a man in his forties and a woman in her thirties stood at the door.
As soon as they saw the door open, they immediately barged in. They kept nagging loudly:
“Vivi, where’s our Vivi? Vivi, Mom and Dad are here to pick you up. Vivi?”
