I only listen to such words, and when she eventually meets someone who truly loves her, she won't think like this anymore.
Sitting on the outdoor terrace is really too cold. Although I am dressed warmly enough, after half an hour, I can't help but long for the warmth of the indoors.
Mina smiled and said, "Alright, let's hurry inside. If you freeze, I bet Xiao Minxing won't let me off easily."
Speaking of Xiao Minxing, I couldn't help but recall what happened today. It seemed like we didn't talk at all last night, and I woke up particularly late this morning. When exactly did he notify people to prepare all this?
Seeing my question, Mina looked furious. "Don't mention it! He called me early in the morning. I thought you had gone into labor early; I was so flustered that I didn't even have time to do my makeup. Look at me; my eyelashes are only half done!"
I laughed at her and said, "Did he say what he wanted you to do?"
Mina got even angrier. "If he had said something, would I be in this situation? It's just your engagement banquet; how big of a deal could it be? I should have gotten myself ready instead of looking awkward in front of so many people."
I couldn't imagine what Xiao Minxing told them when he notified them to go to the Dock, nor could I guess their reactions upon hearing the news. In any case, as Mina said, most of those who went didn't know what was happening; they were all just notified by Xiao Minxing to go there, and once they arrived, there were people to receive them. Before we showed up, that group was still desperately guessing what was going on.
She looked at me angrily and said, "Stop laughing! You two are really inconsiderate. What kind of situation is this? People skipped work and rushed to the Dock only to end up like this."
"Isn't this a big deal? Others want to go but can't even make it. Didn't you see that Xiao Minxing invited all good friends?" I replied.
Mina suddenly paused and asked me, "If that's the case, shouldn't those two from the Lu Family be here too? Why haven't I seen them?"
She brought it up, and I actually forgot about those two. At the scene, I was completely confused and just followed Xiao Minxing's lead. Among the people who went, there were some I knew and some who didn't go, so I hadn't thought about any issues.
"Could it be that they are not in Haicheng?" I asked uncertainly.
Mina curled her lips and said, "Where can a doctor go? Besides, Lu Yishan is here. I saw her yesterday when I went to Zhi Xing, still dressed the same way, wearing all green in the middle of winter. It makes people feel cold just looking at her."
"Alright, let's not discuss her clothing; it's her freedom to wear what she wants. But why doesn't Xiao Minxing invite them?" As I spoke about Mina, I couldn't understand this question.
As far as I know, Xiao Minxing's closest friends are just the Lu siblings. As for those invited today, like Su Qian, they were his enemies not long ago.
Mina couldn't explain it either and waved her hand, saying, "Forget it; let's not guess anymore. When Xiao Minxing comes back tonight, you can ask him and find out."
After she finished speaking, she sighed and said, "Xiao Minxing has been so busy lately that it's chaotic everywhere. It's surprising he still has time to handle this matter, even if it only took him a morning. It really touches me."
I knew Xiao Minxing had been very busy recently; otherwise, he wouldn't be working late even on weekends. Sometimes I advised him to bring his work home.
He would always say, "The work has to be done anyway. If I do it at home, you'll worry more about me, and it will disturb your rest. It's better to finish it there and then come back."
I originally knew little about the company's affairs, and since I hadn't been going to the office lately, my mind was filled with baby-related issues; I had almost forgotten everything else. So I didn't know exactly what he was busy with.
When Mina mentioned this matter, she also brought up Xiao Minhui. She looked at me strangely and asked, "I heard that Xiao Minxing's older sister can't hold on any longer and is selling off her assets."
"Selling?" I asked, not really understanding what was going on.
But Mina said, "Yes, at that time, Master Xiao left quite a bit for each of them. Xiao Minhui has three or four properties in Haicheng; it's just that she's a bit foolish and has managed to ruin the once-thriving company through her mishandling. Now to maintain other companies, she can only sell off the unprofitable ones or those she thinks have no potential."
This issue wasn't particularly serious; it's just that Master Xiao was nearly furious over Xiao Minfeng's matters back then. If Xiao Minhui really sells off her assets now, I wonder how he would react?
"Has anyone bought them?" I asked Mina.
She shook her head and said, "It's still unclear, but it shouldn't be a problem. There are plenty of wealthy people in Haicheng."
"But her things don't make money. Wealthy people wouldn't throw their money away, right?" I asked.
Mina shook her head and said, "It's not like that. This is an industry, not just a single product. Even if it's not making money now, as long as it's packaged and managed with care, it won't weaken. It's just that I don't have that much money on hand. If I did, I would want to buy it all."
She sighed towards the ceiling and said, "By then, we won't have to be at odds with Zhuo Feng's company anymore. After all, we would be small business owners too, right?"
I really didn't have any money. If I did, I would be willing to help Mina complete this matter. I wanted her to have her own career and a free life. Since Zhuo Feng had chosen someone else, why should she stay there to watch him be affectionate with someone else?
Not having money is truly a sad thing. In the past, I could still ask Xiao Minxing for help. Given his current attitude towards me, borrowing some money shouldn't be too difficult. But he himself is struggling financially; where would he get money for us?
After thinking it over and over, I could only give up and silently watch Mina lost in thought.
She furrowed her brows for a while and suddenly said, "If I pull out my shares from Zhuo Feng's company, I should be able to buy Xiao Minhui's company without any problems."
"But wouldn't that cause problems for Zhuo Feng?" I didn't understand much about business matters, but the thought of pulling out funds from one company to buy another seemed like a big deal.
Mina also lowered her head dejectedly and said, "Yeah, it's forty percent of the shares. If I take them all out, it would be like peeling off a layer of skin from Zhuo Feng. Even if it's not fatal, it would still hurt him quite a bit."
At this point in the conversation, I knew Mina wouldn't do that. She wasn't a vengeful person. Even after fighting for Zhuo Feng for so many years, reclaiming what she deserved was only right; however, she wouldn't treat Zhuo Feng that way.
