Chapter 191: Seize!
"Yun, Yunxiao, really?"
Li Cuilan asked blankly.
"Yes."
Xu Yunxiao nodded and said, "Grandma said it was to help Brother Chang Jian with a project negotiation, to temporarily use it, and once the business is settled, the shares would be moved back."
"Thank goodness, thank goodness..."
Li Cuilan patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
She did not want that just after winning five million, and before she had even spent any, the money would be stolen.
Li Cuilan looked towards grandma again.
Knowing how cunning grandma could be, she worried that the shares would not be returned and quickly said with a flattering face: "Mom, it was our fault just now, please don't hold it against us, those shares... how long will they be used?"
"Hmph!"
Grandma sipped her tea indifferently and coldly said, "Dare you still talk about the shares?"
With that,
A chill went down Li Cuilan's spine!
What she feared was happening; was grandma really planning not to return them?
Seeing the situation, Li Limei, who had been agitated just now, also felt her heart skip a beat and scolded grandma: "You, you old witch, you wouldn't be trying to scam Yunxiao, would you? I warn you, the most important thing in life is one's face, at your age, surely you can't afford to lose face!"
"..."
Grandma's face turned dark as a storm.
She always prided herself on her reputation, and now being called shameless enraged her beyond measure!
At this moment, Xu Yunxiao, seeing grandma and Xu Changjian's expressions, seemed to suggest they had no intention of returning the shares, hurriedly said: "Grandma, wasn't it all agreed upon before, and moreover, a promise letter was even written..."
Seeing Xu Yunxiao taking out the promise letter, Li Cuilan breathed another sigh of relief, stopped Li Limei, and said: "Stop it, grandma always keeps her word, and we have the promise letter."
"Hmph, the promise letter is useless now!" Grandma coldly stated.
"Ah?!"
Li Cuilan, Li Limei, and Xu Yunxiao were all equally shocked, "Grandma, you don't mean to go back on your word, do you?"
At this moment, Qin Feng stood up and said with a frown: "How can you treat my wife like this, aren't you afraid of Haohan Company?"
Xu Yunxiao also looked towards grandma.
Hoping that mentioning Haohan Company would have some effect.
Grandma sneered again and said: "You still have the face to mention it? If it weren't for you, could the shares of Shuimu Company be taken away?"
"Taken away?!"
Xu Yunxiao's heart jumped, she asked hurriedly, "What happened?"
Xu Changjian sneered: "The other day, the regional manager of Hengyuan Group in Lake City, Mr. Hang Hang Chengzhi, came to the Xu family seeking justice because someone had beaten him up and came seeking compensation, specifically asking for Shuimu Company, what could we have done?"
"Hengyuan Group, as everyone probably knows, if they went against Xu family, it would be as easy as crushing an ant."
"They wanted compensation, would you dare not to give?"
"So, the shares of Shuimu Company were given out as compensation, that indirectly saved your life too."
"..."
The crowd was in an uproar!
Shuimu Company was now the pillar of the Xu family, what brought the Xu family to prominence as a second-tier family head.
If Shuimu Company was gone, the Xu family would be finished!
Li Cuilan hadn't thought about any of these.
She was just thinking about the shares that had, not so easily, come her way had vanished, like finding a pile of money in a dream, not having spent a penny, and then waking up.
Xu Yunxiao was even more stunned and said blankly: "No, it can't be, how is this possible? Besides, he is Mr. Hang, who would dare to hit him? There must be some misunderstanding here."
"Are you questioning us lying?" Xu Changjian said displeasedly, "He personally said that he came to your company's door the other day, wanting to talk business with you, but you drove him away, and afterward, he was beaten!"
Later, I did hear from the company people that there seemed to be a fight at the entrance, but I didn't pay attention; I never expected it to be him!
"But that doesn't prove that I was the one who ordered the attack!"
Xu Yunxiao was on the verge of tears.
"Who knows, anyway, it happened right in front of your company."
Xu Changjian coldly remarked.
At this moment, Li Yanyan suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, "I remember now! It was Qin Feng who ordered the attack. That morning, I heard Qin Feng making a phone call to attack Mr. Hang!"
Everyone turned their gaze towards Qin Feng.
Xu Yunxiao hastily asked, "Was it really you?"
"Yes, it was me."
Qin Feng shrugged his shoulders, admitting it openly.
Xu Yunxiao felt like she was dying inside.
This confirmed that it was because of her that Shuimu Company had to forcibly give away someone.
"Don't think that you're the only one who's unhappy!"
The grandmother took another sip of tea and said, "Though those 51 shares are yours, they're also part of Xu family's assets, affecting every member of the Xu family. Losing company shares due to your fault when none of us did anything, means our loss is even greater than yours. We are more wronged!"
"..."
Xu Yunxiao's eyes turned red at this point.
Li Cuilan was the most agitated, rushing forward to hit Qin Feng: "It's all your fault! All your fault! If not for you, Yunxiao wouldn't have lost her shares, you good-for-nothing, I'll beat you to death!"
Seeing this, others started to mock.
Xu Changjian was especially amused.
The grandmother then raised her hand and said, "Enough, if you want to argue, go home and do it! Hurry up and get things ready, there's a distinguished guest coming soon!"
A distinguished guest?
People were puzzled.
On Mid-Autumn Festival night, it's usually about hosting a banquet at home, what kind of distinguished guest would come.
As they were speaking.
Suddenly someone reported, "Hengyuan Group's Mr. Hang Chengzhi's car has stopped outside the courtyard."
Everyone looked towards the entrance.
They saw Mr. Hang Chengzhi in a suit coming towards them, majestic, followed by two stern-faced suit-wearing subordinates.
Feeling the powerful aura, everyone unconsciously stepped aside to create a path.
Soon,
Hang Chengzhi approached the grandmother, smiled slightly, bowed slightly, and said, "On this Mid-Autumn Festival, Hang Chengzhi wishes grandma a round moon and everything in life to be complete and smooth! Please accept this small gift."
Behind him, two subordinates immediately presented a long box.
Upon opening the box.
Inside was a thirty-centimeter long Jade Ruyi, exquisitely made and evidently very valuable!
Grandma happily accepted it.
People were filled with confusion.
Wasn't it said that Qin Feng had someone attack him and that he demanded compensation from the Xu family? Why does he seem to have a good attitude towards the Xu family?
After exchanging a few words with the grandmother, Li Cuilan seized the opportunity, hurriedly approaching him, pleading, "Mr. Hang, you are Mr. Hang, right? Please, return the shares of Shuimu Company to our family! This is not Yunxiao's fault, it's all because of that good-for-nothing who barged into our home, I'll make him kneel and apologize to you…"
"Mom!!"
Xu Yunxiao's eyes reddened in urgency.
Without Shuimu Company, she was more anxious and heartbroken than anyone.
But she knew deep down that she couldn't blame Qin Feng since it was for her sake he acted against Hang Chengzhi.
Li Cuilan, ignoring her, turned her head and yelled at Qin Feng: "You good-for-nothing, what are you standing there for! Come over and kneel down to Mr. Hang!!"
