After five years on the run, she returns with two cute babies

Hearing others speak ill of her father, Xuan'er pouted and said unhappily, "My dad owns a big company and makes a lot of money. What's wrong with him taking over the company? Besides, my dad is in England right now. If he wants to come to the company, it's just a matter of minutes!"

Xuan'er's unintentional words made those people uneasy. They turned their gazes to Xiao Jincheng, hoping he would say something at this moment, whether it was agreement or disagreement.

However, Xiao Jincheng maintained his smile and said nothing.

The old buddies exchanged glances, and in each other's eyes they saw surprise and uncertainty.

Xiao Jincheng wanted to trap them in endless speculation so that he could exploit their weaknesses, create panic, and buy himself time to plan his next move.

In the silence, Xiao Jincheng held Xuan'er's hand and asked him to say goodbye to everyone. Xuan'er obediently said goodbye to each person, and then followed Xiao Jincheng out of the conference room.

Once they were a little further away, Xuan'er looked at Xiao Jincheng nervously and asked, "Great-Grandpa, is there something wrong with me that makes the elders dislike me?"

Patting Xuan'er's hand, Xiao Jincheng said, "This has nothing to do with you. It's those old guys who don't know how to be flexible. Don't take it to heart."

With her head slightly lowered, Xuan'er was still somewhat saddened and said, "Then what do I need to do to change everyone's perception of me?"

Xiao Jincheng feigned a troubled expression and said, "It is indeed difficult for you to handle this on your own. However, if your father could help, it might be more effective."

"My dad?" Xuan'er seemed confused and asked, "What can my dad do?"

“Those old guys used to listen to me a lot, but now they’re so arrogant because they see I have no successor. My only heir is a six-year-old child. If Mingyang helps me, my power will definitely grow significantly, and those people will never dare to underestimate me again. Don’t you think your father is very useful?”

Xuan'er nodded as if she suddenly understood, and said, "That's really how it is. When I get back, I'll ask my dad to help my great-grandfather. I'm still struggling with what I'm learning at the company, and with my dad's help, I won't feel so much pressure."

Reaching out, Xiao Jincheng gently pinched Xuan'er's nose and asked in a very kind tone, "Why are you under pressure? Didn't your great-grandfather tell you that there's no need to rush, take your time, and it's okay if you don't know how, your great-grandfather will teach you little by little?"

“But I want to grow up quickly and help you share the burden,” Xuan’er said, looking frustrated. “Unfortunately, I’m still too young and not as useful as my father. Don’t worry, Great-Grandpa, I will definitely have a good talk with my father when we get back.”

"If your father doesn't agree, there's no need to force him. After all, your great-grandfather is still in relatively good health and can manage for a while longer."

Tilting her head to look at Xiao Jincheng, Xuan'er said with some worry, "But those elders look like they're hard to deal with, and Great-Grandpa always seems very tired lately, so it must be very tough for him."

Hearing Xuan'er's words, Xiao Jincheng seemed quite interested and asked, "In your opinion, which of those people is the most difficult to deal with?"

Without thinking, Xuan'er said, "I think it's the elder who turns the walnuts."

"You mean Longyou?" Xiao Jincheng narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Because his gaze is very sharp, he can find people's weaknesses and make it difficult for them to answer."

"But he didn't question his great-grandfather about anything, and judging from his tone, he didn't seem to have any ill intentions."

"Although he didn't say anything, his words were very inflammatory and persuasive. Look at the old man next door, he was quite angry."

Xiao Jincheng was surprised by Xuan'er's keen observation skills. She had figured things out in just a short conversation, and he couldn't help but praise her highly.

Now, it remains to be seen whether Xuan'er can persuade Xiao Mingyang to do something for him when she goes back.

Lin Yuqing was pruning flowers in her room when she heard cheerful footsteps. She put down her pruning shears and turned around. When she saw Xuan'er across from her, she smiled lovingly and said, "Xuan'er, you're back so early today."

Xuan'er placed her schoolbag on the table, stood next to Lin Yuqing, looked at the neatly trimmed ornamental hydrangea, and said, "Grandpa wasn't feeling well today and was a little tired, so he came back early."

Xiao Mingyang flipped through the newspaper and asked casually, "Your great-grandfather seems to get tired very easily lately."

"Yes, Great-Grandpa didn't look too good either, but he was also very likely upset."

Hearing this, Lin Yuqing looked at Xuan'er in disbelief and asked, "Besides your father, who else dares to anger Xiao Jincheng? Tell Mommy, who is so bold?"

"I don't really know who they are, I only know that they are a few very important old men who dare to speak loudly to my great-grandfather. But my great-grandfather is the most powerful. With just a few words, he silenced anyone who dared to talk back to him."

As soon as Xuan'er mentioned it, Xiao Mingyang knew who the "old men" were.

"The person who dared to talk back to your great-grandfather must be called Ali, right?"

"Yes, there's also an old man named Longyou, who is very cunning and is always causing me trouble. No matter what I say, he can always find a way to cause conflict."

With a cold snort, Xiao Mingyang said disdainfully, "That old guy is just like that, always eager to stir up trouble!"

Lin Yuqing quickly nudged Xiao Mingyang and frowned, saying, "Mingyang, don't speak so rudely in front of the child!"

Xiao Mingyang, momentarily forgetting himself, quickly smiled upon hearing Lin Yuqing's words and said, "Xuan'er is very smart; she knows what to listen to and what not to listen to. Isn't that right, Xuan'er?"

Xuan'er was watching the commotion from the sidelines. When he heard Xiao Mingyang call his name, he quickly nodded with a smile. Although he agreed with Xiao Mingyang's words, the mockery in Xuan'er's eyes was so glaring that Xiao Mingyang was so angry that he wanted to grab him and spank him hard.

Seeing the danger in Xiao Mingyang's eyes, Xuan'er quickly changed the subject to avoid her fantasies coming true, saying, "By the way, Dad, today Great-Grandpa was still testing me, asking if he could let Dad take over the Xiao Corporation."

Raising an eyebrow, Xiao Mingyang asked, "So what do you say?"

"Of course I agree!"

Xiao Mingyang deliberately frowned and scolded, "You brat, you just betrayed your father like that?"

"It can make Great-Grandpa happy, and my words don't count anyway, so why not?"

Seeing Xuan'er's matter-of-fact attitude, Lin Yuqing was both amused and worried, and said, "Xuan'er, you're getting more and more cunning!"

Xuan'er, however, disagreed, saying, "I didn't promise anything, so it's not being sneaky. At most, I was just trying to make Great-Grandpa happy. But Dad, next time Great-Grandpa asks me, how should I answer you?"
