He can confidently unite all the small companies he has privately established and end Zhi Xing, but only to pursue something bigger.
Although I don't know how many companies there are, nor do I know how big they will be when combined, I know that Xiao Minxing can easily let go of Zhi Xing, which means something better is waiting for him.
He has never been someone who lets others bully him; however, he also possesses kindness in his heart. Perhaps out of gratitude for Old Master Xiao's nurturing, he ultimately decided to return Zhi Xing. If it were someone else, even if it were ruined, they would never hand it back to them.
The handover of Zhi Xing Company was completed quickly. The Xiao Family siblings had coveted these assets for a long time. Now that Xiao Minxing finally agreed to give them up, whether out of fear that he would change his mind or for some other reason, they worked tirelessly day and night to transfer everything related to it.
After the handover was clear, Xiao Minxing made an announcement—a media-wide announcement—informing everyone that this company was no longer related to him and that all associated trivial matters were also unrelated.
As we sat in front of the Computer Screen watching him speak, I turned to Xiao Minxing beside me and asked, "Why do I feel like this is a trap?"
He shot me a glance before smiling and asking, "Is it that obvious?"
My eyes nearly popped out as I leaned closer to him and asked, "Is it really a trap? No way! With so many people in the Xiao Family, each one seasoned in business, wouldn't they see through any traps?"
Xiao Minxing shrugged and said, "It's not exactly a trap; it's just not as profitable as they imagine. If managed well, a revival isn't impossible. But I estimate they won't have the patience. Once they realize it's just a shell of a company, they'll come back to complain but won't invest another cent. So Zhi Xing Company should disappear from Haicheng within six months."
I didn't know what else to say. Kindness is mutual; the people of the Xiao Family have never been kind to him. Since Xiao Minxing treats them this way, it's not unreasonable. However, having someone like him by my side made me shiver a bit. Thinking about my past schemes against him now seemed trivial; I had been so pleased with myself for so long.
The image on the Computer Screen quickly shifted to the faces of the Xiao Family siblings, their joy unmistakable and reminiscent of my own experiences years ago. I knew it wouldn't be long before they would regret their decisions just as I did after marriage.
Xiao Minxing was also looking at the Computer Screen, but he appeared somewhat distracted. His attention seemed not on the screen but rather gazing through it at some unknown place, not even noticing when I stood up and walked away.
Xiao Zhe came in with Sister Liu, stumbling as they approached me.
I hurried over to catch him, and Sister Liu straightened up and said, "This little one just learned to walk and is too excited; he's been playing outside all day."
I smiled at her and said, "You should take a break; I'll watch him."
Upon hearing that I would take care of him, Xiao Zhe excitedly gave me a kiss on the cheek before running off again.
When small children learn to walk, they get tired easily. Due to the height difference, I have to bend down to accommodate him, and yet he persistently keeps walking. So when I take him out, just half an hour of walking makes me feel like my back is about to break.
Xiao Minxing hardly ever holds his hand; he only lets him grab onto his pants.
After walking two laps in the Living Room, Xiao Zhe suddenly seems to notice the Computer Screen ahead, as well as Xiao Minxing sitting in front of it. He breaks free from my hand and wiggles his little bottom over there.
He first circles around the wall by the Computer Screen, reaching out with his little hands several times but unable to touch anything. Then he turns his gaze to Xiao Minxing.
At this point, Xiao Minxing has switched to another channel, a children's program, and his attention shifts from the Computer Screen to Xiao Zhe, beckoning him over.
The two quickly become engrossed in play. Xiao Zhe treats Xiao Minxing's body like a mountain, grabbing anything he can hold onto to climb up, while Xiao Minxing performs various actions to stop him.
The Sofa is too small for them, so they simply sit down on the floor.
I stand by and watch them. At this moment, it’s hard to see that he is a scheming man, a man with depression, or even a successful man.
He is just a father, like all fathers, spending some time playing with his child after work or watching the Computer Screen.
Everyone has multiple facets; there is no absolute goodness and no complete evil.
Regardless, I still love him.
After the matter concerning Zhi Xing was settled, the Xiao Family experienced a period of calm.
Mrs. Xiao rarely came to our house on a weekend; she must have come to talk to Xiao Minxing, but at that time he happened to be out playing with Xiao Zhe, leaving only me and Sister Wang at home.
Sister Wang has been with us for a long time; I know her well. She hurriedly went up to greet her and served her tea.
As I came out from the Side Room, I saw Mrs. Xiao sitting upright on the Sofa, quietly asking Sister Wang something.
As soon as Sister Wang saw me, she straightened up and said, “Anan is here; ma'am, you can ask her if you have any questions.”
I signaled for Sister Wang to step out and sat on the adjacent Sofa, saying, “Mom, what made you think of coming over today?”
Mrs. Xiao said without any concealment, "I came to ask Xiao Minxing something, is he not here?"
"Oh, he just took Xiao Zhe out. I'll call him."
Mrs. Xiao replied, "I already called when I arrived; he should be back soon, so you don't need to call."
Well, since that's the case, I had no choice but to put away my Mobile Phone. However, sitting there with her was really awkward, and I couldn't find a topic to talk about with her, especially seeing her expression of indifference. I wanted to say something but swallowed it back.
After taking a few sips of water from her cup, she finally asked me, "Xiao Zhe is doing well, right?"
I quickly responded, "He's fine; he just learned to walk and doesn't want to stay at home anymore; he wants to go out and play."
Mrs. Xiao said, "Yes, that's how children are. When he gets a bit older and learns to look at Computer Screen and play with Mobile Phone, he won't want to go out either; he'd rather stay at home all day. The children of your brother and sister are like that too."
I was somewhat surprised when she mentioned the children of the Xiao Family siblings because I felt she wouldn't help take care of their kids, nor would they entrust their children to her. Most importantly, she usually seemed only concerned about Xiao Minxing and rarely asked about others. It felt a bit strange that she brought it up now.
Fortunately, Xiao Minxing returned quickly and rescued me from this awkward situation.
He quickly took Xiao Zhe from his hands and was about to head towards the Entrance with Sister Liu and Sister Wang.
However, Xiao Minxing stopped me and said, "Let them take him out to play; come over and sit with Mom for a while."
