After five years on the run, she returns with two cute babies
Chapter 981: Don’t Lose Our Xiao Family
Chuck's offer was very tempting. If the deal could be done, the Xiao family could kick out those annoying elders and no longer be controlled by others.
But Xiao Jincheng actually let a child make the choice for him. What was he thinking? I was standing next to him, why didn't he ask for my opinion?
Everyone saw Xuan'er shaking his head and thought that the child didn't know how to answer. But Xuan'er waited for a moment and said, "Xuan'er thinks that we can't take this business."
Xuan'er's words made Chuck furious. He stood up and was about to pull Xuan'er's collar, wanting to throw him out. But Xiao Jincheng protected Xuan'er behind him and asked patiently, "Why do you say that?"
"Because they are no longer worth the risk. If we keep lowering our standards, they must have some secrets they can't share. If we don't investigate thoroughly, we might end up becoming scapegoats."
Chuck was shocked. He had never expected his secret to be so ruthlessly exposed by a little brat. He glanced at Xiao Jincheng guiltily. He saw that he was smiling, but he couldn't tell what he was thinking.
If Lilith hadn't been on all that crap, she'd have been able to tell something was amiss with Chuck. But now, all her energy was focused on dealing with Xuan'er. With a sinister look on her face, she said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Our Xiao family has been working with Chuck for seven years, longer than you've been alive. What right do you have to dictate what's going on here?"
"Grandpa told me to say it, otherwise I wouldn't bother analyzing it." Xuan'er rolled his eyes at Lilith, then leaned against Xiao Jincheng and said, "Why is Lilith always defending the other person today? It's really inexplicable!"
Xuan'er's words seemed to be spoken unintentionally, but when they fell into the heart of the suspicious Xiao Jincheng, the meaning changed.
Looking at Xuan'er viciously, Lilith said hatefully, "You're just a little kid, what do you know? Stop talking nonsense here and embarrassing our Xiao family!"
"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. I'm too lazy to say it!" Xuan'er glared at Lilith, then turned his head away with an angry look.
Chuck lost his patience, frowned at Xiao Jincheng, and asked, "Don't always use childish words to get rid of me. What do you really think? Tell me quickly."
"My great-grandson's meaning is my meaning."
Chuck was stunned for a moment, then he said angrily, "Are you going to break off our cooperation just because of a kid's joke? Xiao Jincheng, I hope you won't regret it!"
"I, Xiao Jincheng, will never regret the decisions I make!"
"Okay, okay!" Chuck was so angry that he was speechless. He repeated the word "okay" more than ten times before leaving with a snort.
Seeing Chuck being driven away in anger, Lilith said anxiously: "Grandpa, are you really confused? The profit of 46 points is 100 million US dollars. Why don't we give it a try?"
"Didn't you hear what Xuan'er said just now? Chuck's money isn't that easy to earn. He offered to raise the price, so there must be a reason.
Hearing this, Lilith curled her lips in disdain and said, "Humph, does he have any evidence? He's just talking nonsense. How can you believe him?"
"Even a child can understand this truth, but you can't figure it out, Lilith. You really disappoint me."
With that, Xiao Jincheng took Xuan'er out of the conference room, leaving Lilith sitting there, confused and surprised.
What does Grandpa mean by this? Is he doubting his own abilities? But how can he deny all his previous efforts based on a word from a bastard? Grandpa is so biased!
Lilith pounded her hand on the table, her face full of despair. She couldn't let this little brat stay here any longer. He had to disappear!
After frowning and thinking for a moment, Lilith got up and went to find Dawei.
Although Dawei was under control, Lilith, as Xiao Mingyang's wife, could enter and leave his residence at will. However, if they wanted to take Dawei away, they had to obtain Xiao Jincheng's consent, and even Lilith's consent was useless.
However, even with strict supervision, Lilith still had a way to get Dawei out and let him relax.
Being confined in a room, no matter how big it is, will lead to depression over time. Lilith didn't want to end up with a husband with real mental problems, so she would take Dawei out every now and then to relax.
That day, the two of them went to the beach in Lilith's sports car as usual, sat on the beach, and were very affectionate with each other.
After some intimacy, Lilith looked sad, leaned in Dawei's arms, and kept sighing.
"What's wrong with you today? You seem very unhappy."
With another heavy sigh, Lilith said, "I'm about to be kicked out of the Xiao family. How can I be happy?"
Hearing this, Dawei looked at Lilith in shock and asked, "Why did he drive you away? Did grandpa discover something?"
"If Grandpa discovers our secret, then I won't just be kicked out." Lilith smiled helplessly and said, "Grandpa likes Xuan'er too much now. No matter if it's appropriate or not, he will bring him to all activities so that everyone knows that he has a new heir. If Xuan'er becomes the heir, then I will have no choice but to be kicked out of the Xiao family, right? You know, there can't be two tigers in one mountain!"
Dawei frowned and said, "That can't be right. Xuan'er is only a little kid. He's not even ten years old. What can he understand? Managing the Xiao family is not just playing house. What can a child like him do?"
"Yeah, I think so too, but grandpa is very stubborn. If I say a few more words, I will be scolded. Now I can't stay in the Xiao family anymore."
Looking at Lilith distressedly, Dawei said: "It's okay, you still have me, I will definitely protect you."
"Forget it," Lilith said, breaking free from Dawei's embrace. "You can't even protect yourself right now, how can you protect me? If you really want to protect yourself, I think you should strike first and seize the initiative!"
As Lilith spoke, she stared at Dawei, carefully observing her every move.
Biting the corner of his lips lightly, Dawei seemed to be making a very difficult decision.
Looking up, Dawei looked at Lilith and said, "Is that really the only way?"
Seeing that Dawei's attitude had softened, Lilith said, "I'm not trying to kill him. I just want him to be quiet and give me a chance to breathe. Mingyang, being too kind is courting death. We don't have the opportunity to be kind people now. We have to protect ourselves!"
Hearing this, Dawei said helplessly, "You're right. We must survive first before we can consider others. So... should we proceed according to the last plan?"
Nodding hurriedly, Lilith smiled and said, "That's right, you just need to do what I say. I won't hurt Xuan'er, and I'll have the chance to show myself in front of Grandpa. It's a win-win situation!"
