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

Xing Zhengyu intentionally concealed the fact that Chaoye Technology refused to cooperate, and also intentionally concealed the fact that the second boss of Chaoye Technology was Xing Yanzhao's younger brother. However, the truth could not be hidden forever.

Grandpa Xing and Grandma Xing learned about this from their two sons.

The fact that their grandson has this connection with the second boss of Chaoye Technology is surely a sign that the Xing family is expanding their empire.

Uncle Xing smiled and said, "Yes, it's a pity we didn't have the chance to work together."

The two elders looked over in confusion.

Uncle Xing pushed up his glasses and said, "In the domestic AI field, Chaoye Technology is not the only dominant player. Even if they weren't there, there would be others."

"What the third brother said is true, but even Chaoye Technology is unwilling to cooperate. Would the other two industry leaders be willing? Or are we supposed to cooperate with small companies?" Uncle Xing sneered. "If he can't even negotiate a cooperation, what makes Xing Zhengyu think he can stay in this position?"

Uncle Xing: "It's not that we don't want to cooperate with the Xing family, it's just that CEO Kuang of Chaoye Technology is dissatisfied with his brother."

The two elders weren't without affection for Xing Zhengyu; it's just that there's a special bond between grandparents and grandchildren, and once their grandson returned, they felt they needed to set things right.

Let Xing Zhengyu change his surname back to Lin, go back to support his biological parents, and he can continue to work at Xing's.

However, he cannot continue in his current position and will be transferred to another subsidiary.

The eldest son's family wouldn't allow it, and the elderly couple knew exactly what they were up to. They disliked their own son for being useless, but they wanted to hold onto power.

Outsiders dared not offend the Xing family openly, but they gossiped about it a lot behind their backs.

Although they don't often go out from their old house, they are not without eyes and ears.

"Look, the matter of those two children is affecting the group's development." The old lady was clearly displeased. "Which company doesn't investigate the background and situation of its partners when negotiating cooperation? We said we would set things right from the beginning, but that couple just wouldn't do it."

"Twenty-nine years of relationship." Uncle Xing glanced at his parents and his second brother. "But my second brother is wrong. What I know is not about whether it's true or false. Partners look at ability and character, not whether it's true or false."

"What do you mean?" Uncle Xing raised an eyebrow. "You're saying Zheng Yu's ability is fine, but his character is the problem? Everyone knows that Xing Zheng Yu is kind and considerate. Where is the problem?"

His words were clearly barbed.

“It wasn’t said to be Zhengyu. This time, it’s not just the Xing family; the Pei family’s overseas projects have also been blocked. I heard that LK has close ties with Chaoye Technology,” Uncle Xing said. “You’re overthinking things. Look at things in a smaller way.”

"The Pei family's overseas projects were blocked, and the Xing family's cooperation was rejected. It was probably because of something said by CEO Kuang of Chaoye Technology. This CEO Kuang grew up in Yanzhao's kindness and wanted to avenge Yanzhao."

"But he doesn't have that much power to persuade the big bosses of two companies by talking about the real and fake young masters. It's either that the eldest brother and sister-in-law did something to Yan Zhao, or the Pei family did something to Yan Zhao, or Yan Zhao's wife."

Uncle Xing suddenly realized: "That's right! Miss Pei is not one to be trifled with. She has long been spoiled by the Pei family and has become lawless. Yanzhao's wife did not have a good time in the Pei family before."

"Just a couple of days ago, I heard something interesting. Miss Pei had someone soak Yanzhao's wife's computer with water. This shows how bad she can be."

"I don't know how they chose Pei Youyou."

Upon hearing this last sentence, the two elders' expressions darkened further.

Uncle Xing cursed himself as an idiot. The marriage between the Xing and Pei families was arranged by his parents, and Pei Youyou, their granddaughter-in-law, was also approved by his parents.

This is not meant to embarrass the two elders.

When Uncle Xing saw the alert look in his third brother's eyes, he immediately realized he had spoken too quickly. He laughed and slapped himself across the face, then looked at the two elders ingratiatingly.

The two elders' expressions calmed down slightly.

The old man said, "At the wedding, Pei Youyou made things difficult for Luo Huai several times."

They knew everything, but nothing was serious enough to harm the interests of the Xing family, so they turned a blind eye to everything.

The old lady also said, "She's capable of doing things that disregard the big picture, discarding those who have served their purpose, and bullying others. We can't control her in the Pei family, but in the Xing family, she has to follow the rules."

The old lady summoned the housekeeper and said, "Investigate Pei Youyou and Luo Huai's matter thoroughly. If it really was Pei Youyou deliberately bullying people, call the eldest son's whole family over."

Xing Lao Er and Xing Lao San exchanged a silent glance, one with a smile on his lips and the other with a slight glint in his eyes.

……

The old housekeeper was incredibly efficient; the order was issued in the morning, and the answer was received in the afternoon.

The maid who had been dismissed was invited to the old house and told them everything. She also handed over the card that Xing Zhengyu had given her with trembling hands.

The old man and the old woman stared at the card.

It wasn't compensation; it was hush money.

Having the means is not a problem.

It's just that someone cares about this small matter, and since it's been brought up in the business world, they have to take care of it.

The servants were asked to step aside, and the butler continued to hand over a stack of documents, which were densely filled with details of how Pei Youyou had bullied Luo Huai and suppressed other classmates over the years.

"So many?" The old lady's eyes hurt from looking at them.

The old man was puzzled: "You found it in half a day?"

“As soon as I started investigating, people rushed to submit their materials. There was no physical evidence, but witness testimonies kept popping up, covering the seventeen years of bullying that Ms. Pei had inflicted on Ms. Luo Huai, starting from kindergarten.”

"They're forcing us to make decisions for Luo Huai," the old lady sighed. "Is this what General Manager Kuang of Chaoye Technology means?"

The old man narrowed his eyes: "I'm afraid it's Yanzhao's idea. We underestimated this kid Yanzhao. Butler, go and investigate whether Yanzhao has any connection with Chaoye Technology. Investigate the four years of blank information about Yanzhao abroad and fill in the gaps."

"And what about the trip abroad before the wedding? Was it really to see Grandma Kuang for medical treatment, or was it some other trip?"

The old butler nodded.

It was almost time for Xing's parents to arrive at the old house.

Xing Yuru wasn't there; her friend had a violin performance tonight.

Luo Huai was at Kuang's house and was unable to notify them.

The old man instructed the butler to personally pick up the person.

As the butler was leaving, he ran into Xing's father and his three companions. They asked him where he was going, and the butler smiled and said he was picking someone up.

They still drive the old man and woman's car.

Mother Xing asked, "Who's making such a big fuss? The old housekeeper went to pick them up personally."

Mr. Xing was also unsure; what he was more concerned about was, "My parents suddenly called us back; I wonder what it's about."

This was Pei Youyou's first time stepping into the Xing family's old residence. She was arm in arm with Xing Zhengyu, her face beaming with pride.

She is coming.

Luo Huai didn't come.

It seems that the grandparents don't like Luo Huai as their granddaughter-in-law either.

People who have no parents and no family background are just annoying.

Just thinking about it makes her laugh out loud.

Xing Zhengyu turned his head and asked, "So happy?"

"Yes! I'll be seeing my grandparents again. I felt like they were my own grandparents at the wedding."

"You have a sweet tongue," Xing Zhengyu said with a smile.

Pei Youyou is incredibly good at sweet-talking, even Xing Yurou can't compare. Now her mother is also sweet-talked by her every day.

He hoped to please the old man and woman and win them over.

Upon arriving at the main hall, Pei Youyou greeted everyone sweetly.

The old man and woman were neither warm nor cold in their attitude.

Pei Youyou felt wronged after being snubbed for the first time. She pursed her lips and silently retreated to Xing Zhengyu's side, taking his hand.

Xing Zhengyu squeezed her fingers.

He was comforting Pei Youyou, and also comforting himself.

The two elders may be in a bad mood today, but that doesn't mean they don't like Pei Youyou.

After sitting down, the two elders remained silent, and no one dared to make a sound.

Mr. Xing glanced at Mrs. Xing.

Xing's mother swallowed.

She was most afraid of her mother-in-law. Although she was the daughter-in-law personally chosen by her mother-in-law, her mother-in-law was extremely strict with her.

If the head of the household makes a mistake, he will inevitably be scolded.

Later, after they moved out of the old house, the two elderly people became more amiable.

"Dad, Mom, is there something important that you called us over today?"

The old lady said, "Let's wait for the housekeeper to bring them here."

Father Xing: "Who did the old housekeeper pick up?"

The old man said, "Yanzhao's wife, Luo Huai."

One word stirred up a thousand waves.
