I looked at him, and he happened to look back at me, giving me an encouraging glance.
Xiao Minying sat for a while before speaking again: "It seems something really happened on Big Brother's side. Li Ru transferred most of the Xiao Family's assets to her maternal relatives."
Xiao Minxing interrupted her before she could finish, saying, "I can't manage that; we've been separated for a long time."
Xiao Minying looked at him strangely and said, "Are you just going to watch Li Ru ruin Big Brother?"
"I've said it; I can't manage this. If you have nothing else, please leave."
After saying this, Xiao Minxing stood up and carefully helped me up, leading us both out of the conference room.
Xiao Minying was still not giving up and shouted after us, "I know what kind of assets Father has in the East District, and I know you've been wronged. But we are still family. Now that someone wants to touch the Xiao Family's assets, you really won't do anything?"
Xiao Minxing did not turn around or respond to her. He walked straight back to his office after exiting the conference room.
I couldn't read anything from his face. After returning, he continued working normally but called one of his assistants over and instructed him to check on what was happening with Xiao Minfeng.
Once the assistant left with his task, he looked at me and asked, "Do you think I'm heartless?"
"How could that be? They have set you up like that; no one would help them. Besides, I've heard some things about Xiao Minfeng. He's just not serious about anything; he's always out messing around. If these things were really taken by Li Ru, it would be better than having everything fall into his hands."
I spoke from an objective perspective and didn't know what Xiao Minxing was thinking. If it were me in his position, I could laugh for a day over the defeat. Just the fact that Jin Ke got involved in harming me would be enough to make anyone angry.
Xiao Minxing nodded slightly and didn't say much more, continuing with his work.
I could only withdraw my gaze, but thinking about the Xiao Family siblings and Li Ru made my head spin.
Xiao Minying was also strange; she used to cause trouble with them against Xiao Minxing. How long had it been since then? She could immediately come back with such shamelessness, similar to Li Ru—one person in front and another when turning hostile—completely unaware of how ridiculous and unbelievable she was.
The assistant's report reached Xiao Minxing the next day.
He quickly flipped through it and then handed it to me, saying, "You're free right now anyway; take a look at this to pass the time."
I received that information and was almost blinded by it. Not only was there a lot of text and data, but there were also many photos, including some very revealing bed pictures.
"What is your assistant doing? A private detective?" I asked him.
Xiao Minxing shook his head and said, "No, but there are some things he might have to use some very underhanded methods to obtain."
However, upon closer inspection of the contents in the materials, I realized that Xiao Minfeng deserved it. What Li Ru did was not only greedy for the Xiao family's money but also likely out of anger.
Every woman displayed in those materials seemed to have an ambiguous relationship with Young Master Xiao, and what they gained came from the Xiao family's assets.
In other words, it was pretty much what I mentioned earlier: even if Li Ru didn't take a single cent from the Xiao family, Xiao Minfeng could still squander all these things. Just the gifts given to these women were enough to be shocking.
I looked up at Xiao Minxing and said, "I used to think it was nice of you to buy me those jewelry and clothes, but now seeing your brother's spending habits, I realize you don't treat me that well. Look at what he gives—top brands that easily cost over a hundred thousand."
Xiao Minxing glared at me from his desk and said, "What has he ever bought for Li Ru?"
Hearing this, I seriously flipped through the materials, but unfortunately, not a single word was written about it.
Xiao Minxing sighed and said, "He hasn't bought anything for Li Ru in years. Besides making her work, he probably doesn't even bother to look at her seriously; he just spends money on those women outside."
As a woman myself, although I haven't experienced what Li Ru went through, I can empathize with such anger.
"Are you planning to get involved in their family's affairs?" I quietly asked Xiao Minxing.
He shook his head and said, "What can I manage? I have my own pile of issues; let them be."
I was somewhat puzzled. Looking at the materials in my hand, I asked, "If you're not planning to get involved, why gather their information?"
Xiao Minxing's jaw tightened for a moment before he finally said, "I estimate Father will eventually step in. Although I know he can't do anything, some things can still be prepared in advance for him to know."
So he was still considering his father; that made it easier to understand.
Perhaps in Xiao Minxing's heart, no matter how much his father disliked him, he still had to fulfill his filial duty. Therefore, he accepted everything arranged by him and would secretly help him.
After I looked through the materials about Xiao Minfeng, they were locked away by Xiao Minxing in his desk drawer.
Later, Xiao Minying came to find Xiao Minxing again, but he didn't even see her and had his assistant send her away.
However, recent data we collected shows that Xiao Minfeng's situation is indeed not good. Although he controls most of the Xiao Family's initial assets, he hasn't put any effort into managing them over the years.
Even though he still holds the position of chairman of the company, it is merely a title, and he has already been sidelined.
Li Ru has not only dispersed most of the power to her relatives but has also secretly transferred his assets under various pretenses to other professions.
From this perspective, she seems to be prepared for divorce.
Xiao Minxing rarely talks about the Xiao Family matters in his company. Even when I occasionally ask him, he seems disinterested and simply tells me that the task of collecting information on the Xiao Family was completed by a certain assistant, and if I want to know more, I can ask that person.
His indifferent attitude makes me feel that he truly doesn't care about Xiao Minfeng's affairs and is fully focused on his own matters.
In fact, I also don't want him to get involved in these issues; after all, both Li Ru and Xiao Minfeng are quite despicable, so let them fight it out themselves.
However, during my time with Xiao Minxing, I noticed a characteristic of his.
Aside from the internal personnel he needs to meet for work and clients, it seems he has other matters outside as well. He often makes phone calls that last for half an hour or longer.
Sometimes he even goes alone to the conference room to talk. I only occasionally hear a few sentences that seem related to company matters, but I don't know who is on the other end of the line.
