The obedient girl glances up, and the tyrannical tycoon kneels down to pamper her.

Xing's mother and Xing Yurou rushed over.

Lin Zhengyu was kneeling in front of Xing's father, with a solid handprint on his face.

"Why did you do this? What have we done to you?!" My father's angry roar startled the mother and daughter who had rushed over.

Pei Youyou was not seen in the villa, which they were used to; Pei Youyou was either out shopping or at the Pei family home.

Seeing the handprint on her adopted son's face, Xing's mother felt sorry for him and quickly went over to help him up, questioning her husband, "What are you doing! What did Zhengyu do wrong this time?"

"Ask him yourself, ask him what good deeds he's done!" Mr. Xing roared, sweeping the documents off the table. "Do you think you can get away with it by finding someone to take his place and making up the difference in funds? You can't hide what you've done in the first place."

“Look! Look at how much money your good son has embezzled from the company over the years. At first it was just a little bit, but it snowballed and got bigger and bigger, especially last year after Yanzhao came back.”

Xing's mother gets a headache whenever she sees a stack of white documents.

Xing Yuru bent down to pick it up and looked at it. She didn't say anything, but tears dripped onto the paper. With red eyes, she glanced at her second brother kneeling on the ground.

My heart is aching slightly.

“Yu Rou…” Lin Zhengyu tried to explain, but before he could finish, he was questioned by his sister.

"Second brother, did you secretly transfer Mom's shares to your own name?"

Lin Zhengyu's pupils contracted.

"What did you say?" Mr. Xing stood up angrily again, looking at his wife. "Didn't you sign off on transferring those shares to Zheng Yu yourself?"

Suddenly, Xing's mother released Lin Zhengyu's arm without answering.

Lin Zhengyu quickly grabbed his mother's hand and explained, "Mom, there's a misunderstanding here. There are some things I can't help. Let me explain."

"So it really was Second Brother who did it secretly." Xing Yuru's voice was weak.

Lin Zhengyu had no time to worry about his sister. He just grabbed his mother, who always doted on him, and said, "Mom, didn't you originally plan to give me the shares? I just brought it forward a little."

"Second Brother!" Xing Yuru was furious. "How can that be the same? Is it the same thing that Mom gave you herself, or that you made a copy of Mom's signature yourself?!"

"How could you even scheme against Mom?" Tears streamed down her face as she placed everything she was holding on the table and whispered, "You're not my brother."

Turn around and leave.

Xing's mother's eyes were also red as she asked her adopted son, "Zhengyu, why did you do this? Why did you do it?!"

“Mom, I really did wrong you about the shares. I just wanted to get one more vote in the election. I can transfer the shares back to you immediately. But I can’t help it about embezzling company funds. That money… that card… I didn’t use it.” Lin Zhengyu lowered his head.

Mr. Xing pressed further, "Who was that?"

Xing's mother looked at her adopted son with a hint of expectation and asked him to give a reasonable explanation.

"Yes, yes..." Lin Zhengyu looked at his mother pitifully, but refused to say the name.

Xing's mother immediately chimed in, "Is it Pei Youyou?"

Lin Zhengyu lowered his head.

"It really was Pei Youyou!" Xing's mother's anger immediately shifted. "I remember her card was frozen by Pei Yuanzhou a long time ago. Since we got married, she's been using your card. She spends money recklessly and doesn't know her limits. You've lost your shares and stuff, so she thought of this, right?"

Mr. Xing, however, kept his face furrowed.

He loves his adopted son, but not to the point of spoiling him mindlessly.

He knew perfectly well how cunning the child he raised was.

Mr. Xing decided to ask his assistant to investigate the specifics of the situation, to find out if Pei Youyou had spent all the money, but this could not cover up Lin Zhengyu's crime of embezzling public funds.

The two elders are right; Zhengyu's heart has long since left the Xing family.

In that case, he should support his son properly from now on.

Zhengyu, just give up.

“Things have come to this point. Yanzhao is just transferring you to K City. You shouldn’t have any objections.” Father Xing made a decisive decision. “As for the shares, since you don’t intend to take them and neither does your mother, you should transfer the shares to Yu Rou’s name as her dowry.”

Lin Zhengyu felt a chill in his heart.

The issue of shares is like a small thorn; it doesn't disappear just because you don't care. Xing's mother was always a little uncomfortable about it, since she originally planned to leave the shares to her children.

Xing's mother said, "That's fine."

Lin Zhengyu's heart sank even further.

"Mom..." Are you really not leaving him anything?

Isn't she the one who loves him the most?

He gazed longingly at his mother.

Xing's mother was almost moved again, and the thorn in her heart would tug at her heartstrings, so she looked away.

Mr. Xing said, "Let's do it tonight."

He feared that things might change if he waited too long.

You can't trust adopted sons anymore.

A lawyer came immediately after a phone call and asked Lin Zhengyu to sign the papers.

Seeing her son's reluctant expression as he held the pen, and a fleeting look of disappointment in his eyes, Xing's mother couldn't help but wonder if she had really trusted the wrong person.

One thing she was certain of was that marrying Pei Youyou was a huge mistake.

……

Binjiang Bay.

Just as Xing Yanzhao reached the bottom of the stairs, he received a message from his father saying that he had no objection to Lin Zhengyu's transfer to K City, and that he would never interfere in company affairs or question his decision, no matter who in the family was involved in the matter.

The matter of shares was also mentioned, with Xing's mother's shares being transferred to her sister's name.

Xing Yanzhao smiled.

"What's wrong?" Luo Huai asked.

Xing Yanzhao handed her his phone directly.

Luo Huai said, "It's a good thing that the shares are under Yu Rou's name."

"Okay." Xing Yanzhao said as she handed him the phone, "Keep it with you."

What if there's a phone call?

"You take it."

Luo Huai blinked.

"Luo Huai, you should learn from other wives. Be more proactive with your husband's phone. Check it, answer it, and hang up whenever you want."

Luo Huai suddenly smiled, put his phone in his pocket, and said, "Okay, I understand."

"Hmm." Xing Yanzhao was a little happier then.

The elevator reached the 16th floor. The door was open, and the robot Xiaoming was waiting outside. As soon as it scanned the familiar faces, it immediately welcomed the boss and his wife home.

The people inside came out immediately upon hearing the noise.

Zhu Shuangshuang ran incredibly fast, darting to Luo Huai in her socks and scrutinizing her closely. "Were you bullied? Are you hurt anywhere? Did your older brother avenge you?"

She's like an old woman.

Luo Huai circled around in front of her, saying, "It's nothing, I'm fine."

She didn't wear slippers either, and went into the house barefoot.

The location, content, and guests for the celebration banquet were all decided by her and Xing Yanzhao. When they decided to invite only close friends and family from both sides, Luo Huai suggested laying carpets all over the house because Sister Yunshang didn't like wearing shoes at home and couldn't stand the cold.

Kuangye strongly supported this project; he supervised the construction of the carpet and even personally wrote and hung up the "No Smoking" sign at the entrance.

However, no one else knew.

Kuangye didn't say anything either.
