Xiao Huizi and He Xiaoer

The next morning, Xu Zhihui heard the wind whirring outside in a daze. She took out her phone from her pillow to check the time. It was a few minutes past half past five. She heard the rocking chair outside the terrace swaying softly. She gently lifted the quilt and got out of bed, put on a coat and went to close the terrace door. She stood there with her arms folded and looked around for a few seconds. The sky was getting gloomy. There were many more dark clouds in the sky overnight. She sneezed unconsciously.

He Zhijing opened his hazy eyes and looked at her. Xu Zhihui smiled at him and said, "It's still early, go back to sleep." He Zhijing was like a clingy little kitten, waving at her and saying softly, "Wife, I want to hold you to sleep." Xu Zhihui smiled, got into bed again, and fell asleep again while holding each other's arms.

They slept until 8 o'clock before waking up. They got up, washed, and went downstairs together. At the stairs, they heard the anxious voice of their eldest aunt He Li: "Are A Jing and A Hui still not up? Those guys are planning to come to our house to make trouble." Then the voice of Mr. He was heard: "A Li, why are you so anxious? Sit down."

Xu Zhihui saw Grandpa He, eldest aunt He Li, and second aunt He Min sitting on the sofa in the living room. She and He Zhijing went over to greet them one by one and said, "Good morning, Grandpa, eldest aunt, second aunt. It's so early."

He Min smiled and said, "Good morning, A Jing, A Hui."

He Li stood up and said happily, "Ajing, Ahui, get up." Xu Zhihui apologized, "I'm sorry, Grandpa and aunt, I didn't know you were coming and got up late." Old Man He waved his hand and said, "It's okay, we just got here." Sun Xiaofei waved at her and said, "Ahui, come, sit for a while, breakfast will be ready soon." Then she asked with a smile, "Did you sleep well last night?" Xu Zhihui smiled and nodded, "Not bad." She went over and sat next to her.

Xu Zhihui didn't sleep well last night and had intermittent dreams. She kept dreaming about the moment when He's father turned around and looked back, shouting, "Ahui, I want to come back." She hurriedly asked in her dream, "He's father, where are you? Tell me, I'll take you back." He's father shook his head and said, "I don't know where I am." She couldn't get any answer.

He Zhijing looked at He Li and asked, "Aunt, what happened?" He Li sighed and said, "Early this morning, I received a call from a group of shareholders on the board of directors, saying that many executives of the company had their authority frozen yesterday, and even Vice President Li Songling had his authority revoked. These old men were clamoring and said they wanted to go to the He family to get clarification."

Mr. He said angrily, "Those guys also came to me and accused my granddaughter-in-law of the He family of causing trouble for the company." He slammed his cane on the ground and cursed, "This group of people is too presumptuous. They don't even take me seriously."

Xu Zhihui said, "Grandpa, I did it, let me tell them." He Li was surprised and asked, "Ah Hui, why? Forget about the others, why did Li Songling also remove his authority? This..." Grandpa He stopped He Li and said, "Don't shout, listen to Ah Hui." Xu Zhihui was thinking about how to explain. He Zhijing said coldly, "Aunt, what about Li Songling? What kind of person is he? My wife can remove it if she wants."

He Li was stunned for a moment and sighed, "Although Li Songling is an outsider, after all, he risked his life to block a knife for your father, and he has worked hard for the company over the years. If you want to terminate the contract, then terminate it. We are not in the right."

Sun Xiaofei said, "This was my idea. I authorized Li Songling to be dismissed." Then she said coldly, "Let alone dismissing his authority, even if we kick him out of the He Group, it won't be a big deal. The He family has the final say in the He Group." She turned around and told Sister Lin, "Sister Lin, everyone is here, let's serve breakfast." Sister Lin replied, "Yes."

Everyone nodded in agreement and sat down at the table. Sun Xiaofei had made the final decision on this matter, and everyone stopped discussing it and turned to talk about the happy event of the official establishment of "He's Jewelry" today and the opening of the "Lanhui Flagship Store".

After breakfast, Xu Zhihui helped He Zhijing tidy up his clothes and said, "You go and host the unveiling ceremony, that's the important thing. I'll stay at home and wait for those people to come." He Zhijing nodded, "Okay." He said softly, "Wife, if you want to scold them, just do it directly. You don't have to give them face." Xu Zhihui smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a hypocrite."

As He Zhijing stepped out of the door, Xu Zhihui called him: "It might rain today, take an umbrella with you." He Zhijing nodded, took an umbrella from Mrs. Wu, and went out.

Sun Xiaofei said, "This has had the greatest impact on Li Songling. He might have instigated these noisy people." She turned to He Li and said, "Sister, please convene a board meeting of shareholders next Monday morning. I want to formally expel Li Songling."

He Li said, "Okay." She didn't know what mistake Li Songling had made, but the family must unite and of course stand on the side of Sun Xiaofei and Xu Zhihui unconditionally.

Li Songling is also one of the shareholders. He and Zhao Fang each own about 2% of the shares. Sun Xiaofei is the chairman of the He Group and the company's largest shareholder. He has absolute say, not to mention the shares of the He family. Even if the shareholders unanimously oppose the board meeting, it will be no problem to kick Li Songling out.

Xu Zhihui pulled Sun Xiaofei aside and said, "Mom Fei, I wanted to talk to you about this last night..." Sun Xiaofei patted her hands and said, "I know you must have a reason. Okay, Ah Hui, tell me." Xu Zhihui whispered, "The day before yesterday, Li Songling tried to murder me in order to strike at Ah Jing. He must have done this to bring down the He family." Sun Xiaofei was shocked, her eyes blazing with fire, and she gritted her teeth and said, "He... has he lost all conscience to dare to do such a thing?"

Xu Zhihui nodded and continued, "More than that..." She leaned close to Sun Xiaofei's ear and said, "I suspect Li Songling is related to Dad's disappearance." As soon as these words came out, Sun Xiaofei's body shook violently, and her lips trembled as she said, "What...what...what?" Xu Zhihui hurriedly supported Sun Xiaofei, stroking her back and saying, "Mom Fei, don't get angry, don't hurt yourself."

Sun Xiaofei was panting. Grandpa He saw her from a distance and asked, "Xiaofei, what's wrong? What are you talking about?" Sun Xiaofei forced herself to remain calm and turned around and said, "Dad, it's nothing." She pulled Xu Zhihui and said, "Don't tell Grandpa and Aunt about this." Xu Zhihui nodded and said, "I didn't even tell A Jing. But I'm just guessing, I don't have any evidence."

Sun Xiaofei held her hand and sighed, "Ah Hui, the burden of our family has fallen on your shoulders. I feel really bad for letting you bear all this." Xu Zhihui looked relaxed and comforted her, "It's okay. Mother Fei, I am a part of this family, so why should we be separated?"

Everyone sat for a while. Xu Zhihui had good hearing and heard the noisy noise outside the He family mansion, so he said, "I'll go out for a while." He walked out of the He family mansion quickly and came to the roadbed to look around. He saw five or six cars parked in the middle of the road they came from. They were stopped by Han Bingshi and several shadow guards. Those people kept shouting that they wanted to see the chairman.

It must be those people who came to make trouble. She shouted from a distance: "Let them in." Then she turned around and went back. The guards let them go. As they walked, they murmured: "Why is there a group of strange people guarding the road to He's house?"

Xu Zhihui returned to the house and said, "Those people came to our house." Old Master He spitted and cursed, "I brought these people up before, and now they want to rebel against the He family." The two sisters He Li and He Min hurriedly advised, "Dad, don't get angry, it's not worth it."

Soon there was a commotion in the yard, and the cars of those people drove into the He family mansion in a swaggering manner. There were six cars in total, parked in the yard. Mr. He said to the servants, "No need to greet them." The servants said, "Yes, Master."

The leaders were Mr. Yang and Mr. Li, who led the four directors in. As soon as they entered the room, they saw Mr. He sitting on the sofa with an angry look on his face. They were stunned for a moment, and hurried over to greet him with a smile: "Hello, Mr. He. You are here too?" The other directors followed suit and said in unison: "Hello, Mr. He."

These people greeted Sun Xiaofei, He Li, and He Min one by one. Seeing Xu Zhihui was there, they gritted their teeth and called out, "Hello, Madam."

Mr. He glared at them and said, "Nonsense, this is the He family, of course I am here." Mr. Yang and Mr. Li immediately said awkwardly, "I...we didn't know you were here, and we didn't prepare any gifts." Mr. He said angrily, "Forget it. Tell me, what's the matter with you coming here?"

The men found their own seats and sat down. They looked at each other. It was Old Yang who spoke first: "Mr. He, Chairman, Vice President Li Songling and more than 30 senior executives were suddenly stripped of their authority for no reason. This is really surprising."

The others echoed, "Yes, now that He's Jewelry is being established at this critical juncture, if word gets out it will have a huge impact on the group's reputation. We want to hear what the chairman has to say."
