Gu Yutong stared at Xia Ruoan, who had a confused look on her face, sighed in her heart, and finally decided to reveal some truth to her.

She leaned forward slightly and said softly, "Actually, we didn't know these things at first. Later, when we heard your father's name and saw that you and Xia Lin looked so similar, we gradually understood the ins and outs of it.

It's just that your father has never mentioned my existence to you, so it's not convenient for me to interrupt rashly. But please believe me, every word I say is absolutely true."

Then, Gu Yutong paused for a moment, as if to organize his thoughts, and then continued: "Regarding the relationship between the Zhou family and the Xia family, as far as we know, the reason why the Zhou family is willing to marry Xia Meihui is nothing more than wanting to cling to the big tree of the Xia family.

However, Xia Meihui is actually just the daughter of your grandfather's adopted son, and they are not even registered together.

And now, your father has arranged for your third brother to work at Xia Corporation, presumably intending for him to take over the entire Xia Corporation in the future."

At this point, Gu Yutong couldn't help but shook his head, revealing a hint of disdain: "Besides, your grandfather doesn't really care about that adopted son.

The position he was given in the company was just an ordinary manager. But your father holds the shares left by your grandmother, so if he wants to control Xia Corporation, it would be easy.

And don't worry, if you need it, our Leng family will definitely lend a hand to help you without hesitation." After saying this, Gu Yutong looked at Xia Ruoan with concern, hoping to bring some comfort to this confused girl.

"However, the relationship between your grandfather and your father has always been unharmonious. So regarding this matter, you'd better wait and see how your father plans to tell you later." Gu Yutong was a little troubled. She was not sure whether Xia Lin wanted An An to know these inside stories. After weighing the pros and cons, she decided to help conceal it for the time being.

"After all, he knows the details of this situation better than anyone else. Back then, your grandfather actually took that mother and son back home, but not long after, your grandmother passed away with hatred in her heart.

After that, your father left this place without any regrets, without even saying goodbye.

"Also, let's talk about his grandfather's family, the Ou family. Their entire family also suddenly disappeared without a trace.

It wasn't until recent years that two people returned, but they were just the grandfather and grandson. As for your uncle and aunt, they never showed up. I heard they passed away."

Of course, Gu Yutong heard all this information from hearsay, and he didn't dare to ask too much.

After Xia Ruoan went back with Leng Zexi, he thought about it and finally decided to go to his third brother to find out.

Lin Cai was surprised to see that she learned about this so quickly: "Did Leng Zexi tell you?"

Xia Ruoan glanced nonchalantly at Leng Zexi who was busy tidying up the room, shook her head gently, and then slowly said: "He didn't tell me this, but I encountered it when I went to the mall with Leng's mother today.

We met the Zhou family, and the woman named Xia Meihui. She is Xia Jiye's daughter, you should know her. "

Hearing this, Lin Cai, who was originally smiling, instantly restrained his smile, and even the hand that was signing stopped involuntarily.

He frowned slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of worry, and asked anxiously: "Did they bully you?"

Xia Ruoan took a deep breath and began to describe in detail what happened in the mall today.

"Actually, I can't say I was bullied. Facing their provocation, I didn't back down at all. I fought back fiercely on the spot!

Besides, as soon as Mother Leng appeared, those people immediately shut their mouths and didn't even dare to make a sound.

Especially Xia Meihui, who was always so arrogant and domineering, became obedient in front of Mother Leng and didn't dare to say a word.

Having said that, a hint of pride appeared on Xia Ruoan's face, but then she sighed. Although she didn't really suffer any substantial harm, she was indeed very angry at the time!

"An An, your mother-in-law is right. I just found out recently that Teacher Xia is the eldest young master of the Xia family, and you are the real young lady of the Xia family.

"Those Zhou family members are so blind that they can't recognize a real daughter like you. Instead, they're chasing after a fake. They're simply blind!" Lin Cai sneered with disdain.

Having said that, Lin Cai paused for a moment and then continued, "However, regarding the things between Teacher Xia and Old Man Xia, I can't tell you in detail right now. When you have the chance in the future, it would be better for you to ask Teacher Xia in person.

Judging from the current situation, the old man is still quite concerned about Teacher Xia. Oh, yes, there is something else I want to tell you. Do you remember those pots of peonies I sold before? It was Master Xia who bought them from us at a high price.

This was discovered by Lin Cai when he went to Xia's house for dinner.

At that time, he was walking around the garden with others and accidentally saw the pots of peonies that he was familiar with.

He pondered in his heart, guessing that the housekeeper had taken him there on purpose, perhaps wanting him to say a few good words for Mr. Xia in front of Teacher Xia.

"Then...are those flowers okay now? Are they still alive and well?" Xia Ruoan became nervous when he heard this and asked hurriedly.

After all, it was the first time she successfully cultivated a flower, which was of great significance, so she naturally cherished it very much.

"Alive. I heard from the housekeeper that Old Master Xia hired someone to teach him how to do it. It was also thanks to those pots of flowers you had. Otherwise, your father might have blown up the Xia family. Teacher Xia went back to the Xia family on the day he came to see you. Later, I was called over and told that I was going to take over the Xia family."

Lin Cai looked at Xia Ruoan with a smile and said slowly, "Teacher Xia said that when the time is right, I will merge the company I founded with Xia's.

By then, not only will he be able to get the shares in Xia's hands, but he will also get the shares in Mr. Xia's hands.

As for these shares, you and I will each own half. I will be responsible for managing the company's daily operations, and you just need to enjoy the dividends."

Xia Ruoan's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "Shall we split the shares in half?"

Leng Zexi, who had been observing all this silently, saw Xia Ruoan's surprised reaction and was about to say something, but before he could say anything, he heard a crisp voice.

"Third brother, you are at a great disadvantage by doing this!" Xia Ruoan couldn't help but shout out this sentence.

When Leng Zexi heard this, he couldn't help but cough.

Not to mention the two parties involved, even Lin Cai's special assistant Zhang who was standing beside them looked up at the sky helplessly and sighed in his heart.

As expected, our Miss Xia is too simple and kind. If it were someone else, she would probably be sold and still happily help others count the money!

Not to mention them, even Lin Cai shook his head with a doting look on his face and said softly, "How could I lose?" The tenderness in his tone was almost overflowing.

"Aren't you losing out? You have to manage the company and do so many things, but in the end you only get the same amount of money as me. Even if your company is merged into it, the money you earn is yours, but don't you want to do more? Can your body handle it? Do you want me to plant two more wolfberry trees at home?" Xia Ruoan asked worriedly.

"Go back and talk to Dad. You should get a larger share. Otherwise, I'll feel embarrassed. I didn't do anything, but I'm getting the same amount of money as you." Xia Ruoan said a little embarrassedly.

Lin Cai chuckled, "It's not as hard as you think. Everyone has their own expertise, you know? Managing my company is just like growing vegetables. If I were to manage the company, people would only know me. I wonder who would suffer the consequences for you, the real eldest daughter of the Xia family."

"Besides, if I take over Xia's company and become more famous, it will be easy for me to make money. So this will only benefit me and not harm me." Lin Cai said to Xia Ruoan.

"It's Teacher Xia who trusts me and lets me take over Xia Group. Not to mention giving me half of the shares, even if he doesn't give it to me, I won't suffer any loss by helping you manage it for free, so don't think too much about it, okay?" Lin Cai comforted Xia Ruo.

Xia Ruoan knew that what Lin Cai said was true, "That won't work either. Dad will definitely not take charge of the company, and I don't understand it either, so let's talk about the shares later." If it was a 50-50 split, she would feel a little unworthy.

Xia Ruoan felt that she was not short of money now and had enough to spend. She had shares in the company registered by Lin Cai before. Her expenses were just buying seeds and fertilizers. However, she could make money by selling the crops she cultivated later. She already had regular buyers.

"Others complain that it's too little, but you complain that it's too much. Okay, let's just say it like this. If you keep talking about it, it will become awkward. Besides, you see, Teacher Xia only gave it to you and me. My eldest brother, second brother and Ouyang don't plan to give any." Lin Cai comforted.

"That's because they have plenty of money, but you love money. I'm the worst off and need money," Xia Ruoan complained.

Lin Cai didn't think there was anything wrong with her saying that, as it was indeed the case, but he still couldn't help laughing. "You also know that you are doing the worst, so why don't you ask for more and even want to give me more." Lin Cai said helplessly.

"I can't be greedy, and those who work harder will get more. I can make money without having to work hard or use my brain thanks to you. This is already very good. If I am too greedy, you will dislike me." Xia Ruoan said with a smile.
