Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

Chapter 123 The CEO’s Cousin in a Workplace Story (36)

At this point, she suddenly revealed a somewhat worried expression, "Yes, how could my brother fall down while walking peacefully? Could he have contracted a terminal illness? I know there is a disease like this. At first, only the hands and feet are out of control, and then they gradually lose the ability to move, and then they become incontinent, and finally they can't even breathe on their own..."

The more Lin Xi spoke, the heavier his expression became, as if Ye Wei really had some incurable disease. Even the knowledgeable Old Man Ye frowned and looked at Ye Wei with some worry.

"You're talking nonsense. That's why you have incontinence! It was clearly you who kicked me. I didn't fall down for no reason." Ye Wei was frightened by Lin Xi's description and hurriedly denied it.

"Didn't you just say that I pushed you? How come now it seems like I kicked you?" Lin Xi was waiting for this moment and quickly caught the loophole in his words.

"That's right, you pushed me and then kicked me." Ye Wei was so flustered that he didn't remember what he had just said. He stammered to make excuses for himself.

Seeing Ye Wei's attempt to cover up his lies, Lin Xi snorted coldly and refused to pay attention to him. Everyone present was not blind, so they could tell who was lying. Old Master Ye stomped his cane and said to Lin Yurou and her husband in a stern tone, "You troublesome things, you lie so much at such a young age. You taught you to do that. Go and clean up now. I won't bother with you today because it's New Year's Day. I'll settle the score with you later."

The storm finally came to an end with Grandpa Ye's scolding. Lin Yurou and his wife pulled Ye Wei with grim faces to follow the family doctor to clean the wound. Ye Huai also took Lin Xi back to the room. It was not until lunchtime that the family sat at the same table again.

The reunion dinner was quite sumptuous. Looking at Lin Yurou and the other two sitting opposite each other happily, passing food to each other, as if they wanted to have "we are a happy family of three" written on their faces, Lin Xi secretly curled her lips. Just when she was about to complain that Ye Wei had just been injured, but Lin Yurou passed so much seafood for him because she was afraid that his wound would heal too quickly, she felt something against her lips.

Lin Xi subconsciously opened her mouth, and when something entered her mouth, she realized it was actually a peeled shrimp. She turned her head to look at Ye Huai beside her, and sure enough, she saw him retracting his hand. When he saw her looking at him, he slightly curved his eyebrows, and a faint smile appeared on his lips, "Do you want more?"

Lin Xi's heart warmed up, a bright smile appeared on her face, she nodded heavily, and said in a brisk tone, "Yes!"

Seeing her happy smile, Ye Huai said hello softly and started to peel shrimps for her silently. He just noticed that Lin Xi's eyes were always on the opposite side with a very forced smile on her face. Although she was not close to Lin Yurou, she must be very envious of seeing her mother and another family of three having fun together while she felt like an outsider. He couldn't bear to see Lin Xi's lonely and sad look, so he peeled shrimps for her to divert her attention.

With her cousin feeding her, Lin Xi was too lazy to pay attention to the family of three across the street who were deliberately putting on a show, and finished the reunion dinner happily. When everyone put down their chopsticks and sat back in the living room, Grandpa Ye picked up the teacup and rinsed his mouth, then he slowly dropped a bombshell.

"While everyone is here today, I'd like to make an announcement. Starting tomorrow, I plan to officially hand over the company to Ah Huai."

"What!" As expected, Lin Yurou was the first one who couldn't hold back and exclaimed immediately.

Old Master Ye glanced at her impatiently. Ye Zhenkai received Old Master Ye's gaze and hurriedly tugged at Lin Yurou's clothes. Lin Yurou then realized that everyone was looking at her. She hurriedly laughed and tried to make excuses for herself awkwardly, "Dad, please continue."

Mr. Ye then retracted his gaze and continued, "I have not been in good health in the past few years. Ah Huai has been in charge of the head office and several branches. He has worked diligently and has been hospitalized several times due to exhaustion. It is only then that our Ye Group has reached its current size. I believe you have seen all of this, so I am relieved to hand the company over to him."

After saying that, he looked at Ye Zhenkai who looked a little embarrassed, and stomped his cane in frustration, "You are useless, I believe you know it in your heart, but useless as you are, you are still Ah Huai's uncle, so I can't be partial to you. I know my body well, I don't have many years left to live, when I'm gone, the three branches in the north will be given to you, as long as you don't do anything weird and listen to the instigation of those who have bad intentions, it will be enough to support you and Ah Wei for several lifetimes."

At this point, Mr. Ye glanced at Lin Yurou meaningfully, which made her feel so suffocated and short of breath that she wanted to bite her teeth to pieces.

However, compared to Lin Yurou's indignation, Ye Zhenkai was relieved. He knew that his ability was mediocre and he would not be able to handle the company even if it was handed over to him. He originally thought that with Mr. Ye's love for Ye Huai, he would be lucky to get some leftovers. Unexpectedly, Mr. Ye had long-term plans for him.

Although the several branch companies in the north are not large in scale and are insignificant compared to the head office in the south, their operating systems are already very mature, with considerable annual profits. They have always hired dedicated professional managers to manage them, and he doesn't have to do it himself. This is a perfect arrangement for him who is not good at business. Therefore, after listening to what Grandpa Ye said, he was not dissatisfied. Instead, he finally showed his first sincere smile since he entered the door today, and said to Grandpa Ye with satisfaction.

"Dad, you understand me. I am relieved to leave our Ye family to Ah Huai. But please don't say discouraging words during the New Year. You are in the prime of your life. Why are you so anxious to say these things?"

Seeing that he understood the current situation and was willing to say something festive, Mr. Ye's tense face finally relaxed. "Just don't think I'm old and confused. I'll arrange my affairs early while I'm still sober, so as to avoid the same fate as the Chu family. When the old man in the Chu family fell, his descendants fought for the family property and made a mess of the family. It was really a loss of face for our ancestors. Fortunately, I let Ah Qi and Chu Kuo..."

At this point, Mr. Ye suddenly shut up and looked at Ye Huai with some worry. Seeing that Ye Huai looked calm, as if he had not heard what he had just said, he was slightly relieved. But then he thought of his daughter who was still in the nursing home during the Chinese New Year. He immediately lost interest in talking and waved his hand feebly, "That's it. After the Chinese New Year, I'll let Xiao Hu explain the details of the will to you..."
