Old Master Xiao is completely the opposite of her.
If he was angry when he came in, now he is almost about to explode with rage.
He probably thought that Xiao Minxing would show him at least a respectful attitude like before, but he didn't expect that this Good Fellow completely disregarded him, not only retorting but now also ignoring him.
Old Master Xiao could only sit for a few minutes before he couldn't take it anymore. He tapped the ground with his cane and said, "Is it because I no longer have what you want in my hands that you don't need to bother pretending to care about me?"
His voice was loud, and the sound of the cane hitting the ground was also loud. I was so startled that I almost jumped up, but Xiao Minxing merely glanced at him indifferently and then replied in a very calm tone, "You have never had what I want."
Old Master Xiao was furious and stood up from the Sofa.
Perhaps he got up too abruptly and nearly fell over. This time, Mrs. Xiao surprisingly did not rush to help him, standing there as if she were stunned, allowing his body to lean to one side.
If it weren't for the tea table next to him, Old Master Xiao might have embarrassed himself greatly.
Since that incident during his birthday celebration when we fell out with Xiao Minhui at the Xiao Family Ancestral Home, I haven't been back there. From Xiao Minxing's actions, it seems he hasn't gone either, and judging by the current situation, his relationship with Old Master Xiao seems to have completely broken down.
I don't know what happened in between, but anyone can see the discord within the family.
After sitting on the tea table for a while, Old Master Xiao finally stood up again.
He extended his hand to Mrs. Xiao, who walked over to support him as he made his way to Xiao Minxing's desk, his voice trembling with anger as he said, "Is that so? When you took over Zhi Xing, why didn't you say that? Aren't you where you are today thanks to my family's wealth?"
Xiao Minxing sat there coldly laughing.
It was truly a cold laugh; his skin seemed frozen, and his gaze was icy. He didn't even look at me, and that sub-zero feeling almost froze me in place.
At this moment, I actually admired Old Master Xiao for standing firm and confronting him.
"You know better than anyone what this company was like when I received it, and if you want it back now, I can still give it to you."
This was what Xiao Minxing said, as cold as his expression.
Old Master Xiao gasped for breath a few times, then struck the ground with his cane twice before saying angrily, "Alright, you said it yourself. Don't blame me for not considering our father-son relationship when the time comes."
Xiao Minxing had already stood up from behind the desk and disdainfully glanced at him, saying, "When have you ever considered our father-son relationship? Everything you've made me do is to pay off your debts. I know you’ve been eyeing this company for a long time, and now you can’t hold back any longer and want to unite to take it back? No worries, I’ll give it back to you."
After he finished speaking, he walked out.
He walked directly to my side, took my hand, and headed outside.
As we exited the office door, I saw that the Xiao Family Sisters were all outside his office, along with Xiao Minfeng and Li Ru.
They wore expressions of smugness.
Finally squeezing the meat out of Xiao Minxing's hands made them very happy; they probably imagined how it would feel to have it in their own hands, so their smiles were completely unmasked.
But I was anxious. Ever since I learned about their family's messy affairs, I often felt that Xiao Minxing was being wronged. Now he had to hand over the company he had worked so hard to build over the years—what kind of reasoning was that?
When he first gave it to them, he was heavily in debt; now that it could make money, it no longer belonged to him. Was Old Master Xiao's neck not a head but a big balloon?
As soon as the two entered the elevator, I couldn't hold back any longer. I grabbed his hand and said, "Why give it to them? That’s what you worked so hard for; why should they get it back just because they say so?"
Xiao Minxing only patted my hand in comfort and then took out his mobile phone to make calls.
He made many calls, none of which mentioned Zhi Xing. In fact, there were many projects and companies I didn’t understand at all. However, from his tone and expression, he seemed not to care at all that Zhi Xing already belonged to someone else.
Although I was anxious, there was nothing I could do to help. The only thing I could do was drive around the streets surrounding Haicheng, giving him a quiet space to deal with those chaotic matters.
At noon during lunch, Xiao Minxing's mood was unaffected. He even specifically took me to a nice restaurant and ordered a bottle of wine.
I held the wine bottle and said, "If you're feeling unhappy inside, just talk to me about it. Don’t drink; you should remember what the doctor said."
He gently removed my hand and said, "I’m not unhappy at all. I've been thinking about this day for a long time. Besides, we’re celebrating! Celebrating that I’ve finally shed this burden; from now on, I can live freely."
I didn’t understand what he was saying at all.
Didn’t he like doing business? But when he was managing things, he clearly worked very hard, and he really had talent in this area; otherwise Zhi Xing wouldn’t have brought us such great wealth in such a short time.
I think the Xiao Family sisters also noticed this point, which is why they tried every means to take the company from him, not hesitating to use any methods.
However, from his expression, there was really no hint of sadness at all.
Or it could be said that previously, Xiao Minxing always gave me the impression of being burdened, carrying some pressure and sorrow. But at this moment, the person sitting in front of me clearly appeared relaxed, as if he had shed his burdens.
He served me food, poured me wine, and when we clinked our glasses, he said something particularly poignant: “Qiu Yuhan, when I met you, I knew my fate would change from then on. Only today did I realize that it was not you who changed my fate; you are the key that opened the door to my rebirth.”
I looked at him strangely, feeling that he might have been too greatly stimulated and had become foolish. I even thought about calling Lu Yi Heng.
Thinking of him made me feel like it had been a long time since I had seen him, along with his sister Lu Yishan.
I don't know when it started, but that shade of Apple Green has not appeared in Zhi Xing Company, and in every gathering since then, Xiao Minxing seemed to have changed his circle of friends completely; the shadows of this brother-sister pair never appeared again.
I secretly squeezed my Mobile Phone, thinking that if he said one more thing out of line, no matter where Lu Yi Heng was at that moment, I would call him back. I really couldn’t handle this version of Xiao Minxing.
However, he seemed to have a knack for reading people’s minds. He just glanced at me and asked, “Do you think I’m acting strange?”
I nodded quickly and softly said, “It does seem a bit off.”
Xiao Minxing then laughed and glanced at my hand holding the Mobile Phone, asking, “Who do you want to call?”
