Chapter 871: 871, I have officially divorced Xiao Yebai.
He imdiately dialed his subordinate who was in Hokkaido again.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Xiao, but we have checked all the surveillance at the airport and found that the princess and Young Master Rong An left an hour ago.”
“Where did they go?”
“We don’t know yet, they were driving a rented Toyota, and the car hasn’t been returned yet, so they should still be within the Hokkaido area…”
“Keep looking.”
“Yes.”
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yebai narrowed his dark eyes and quickly found Zhan Yao’s na in his recent call log.
Just as he was about to make the call, a string of unfamiliar phone numbers appeared on the screen.
The man’s brow jumped unexpectedly, and then he imdiately answered, “Hello?”
“Is this Mr. Xiao?”
The voice of a middle-aged man extinguished the hopeful emotion in Xiao Yebai’s eyes, and his voice quickly regained its composure, “Yes, it is. Who are you?”
“Good day, I’m Lu Hongjian,” Lu Hongjian’s voice carried a formal politeness and pleasantry, “I’m the proxy lawyer for Old Master Mo, and I wanted to confirm with you the timing of the stock transfer procedures.”
Xiao Yebai’s eyes turned gloomy, “Transfer? What do you an?”
“Miss Mo didn’t tell you?”
At the ntion of those three words, the color in Xiao Yebai’s eyes deepened, “What did she tell you?”
“It’s like this, Miss Mo wants to transfer all her shares, including those of her unborn child, to you, totalling 24.2 percent of the current Mo Group’s shares…”
The car was already slowly driving on the road to the hospital.
As the sun set, golden twilight stread in through the window, casting a light on the man’s handso yet extrely rigid face.
Lu Hongjian finished detailing, “Mr. Xiao, are you listening?”
Xiao Yebai’s thin lips parted, “Lawyer Lu.”
“I’m here.”
“When did she tell you about this?”
“The day the will was announced,” Lu Hongjian explained, “She said she voluntarily renounced all her shares, including those of her unborn child, and wanted to transfer them to you without compensation. According to legal protocols, as long as one party willingly transfers under a legally valid agreent, you, Mr. Xiao, just need to sign the transfer docunt.”
After he finished, he asked, “Mr. Xiao, when are you available? Let’s finalize the procedures as soon as possible.”
Lu Hongjian thought it was clear enough for Xiao Yebai to agree imdiately, but unexpectedly…
“Has she already signed?”
“Yes.”
“When did she sign?”
Lu Hongjian replied, “Miss Mo signed yesterday and had already sent the transfer docunt to by express delivery, but per the confidentiality agreent, she asked to contact you about it around six o’clock this evening.”
“I see.”
“Mr. Xiao…”
“I will not sign,” Xiao Yebai said, “I want to discuss the transfer with her in person.”
“But Miss Mo has already left the country, and I can’t reach her.”
“Good, neither can I.”
Lu Hongjian: “…”
Without waiting for him to speak, Xiao Yebai had already hung up the phone.
**
At the Lu Family villa.
In the study, Lu Hongjian hung up the phone, his eyebrows tightly furrowed.
He truly didn’t understand.
The Mo Group, now valued at several tens of billions, nearly twenty-five percent of the shares, and here this couple, one doesn’t want it, and the other also refuses to accept?
If nothing went wrong, taking those shares would make him the largest shareholder of the Mo Group at the mont.
Especially Xiao Yebai, his reputation in Nancheng has always been mixed.
The good part was, he indeed had exceptional capabilities, being a rare genius in business investnt.
The bad part was, because of his outstanding performance in recent years, many people felt that his hard work and excellence were solely aid at obtaining the Mo Family’s wealth.
However, in Lu Hongjian’s view, “A gentleman loves money and takes it in a proper way,” since his wife was willing to give it up willingly, taking these shares would help him secure his position in the Mo Family. Why not do it?
What was he hesitating for?
“Dad.”
Lu Hongjian lifted his head.
“What are you thinking about? You’ve been standing there for half a day without moving.”
Looking at his son, who had an impressive bearing, Lu Hongjian suddenly asked, “Chenyu, do you have Miss Mo’s contact information?”
“What for?” Lu Chenyu looked defensive.
By this point, Lu Hongjian didn’t hide it anymore, “She transferred all the shares under her na to Mr. Xiao without compensation, but Mr. Xiao refuses to accept. She’s left the country and her phone is unreachable. I want to contact her for further communication to get this matter settled sooner.”
Lu Chenyu nodded, agreeing very readily, “Okay.”
Since you won’t be able to contact her anyway.
…
A minute later, Lu Hongjian was staring at his mobile WeChat:
“What’s the matter?”
“Why haven’t you accepted my friend request?”
“Has she stopped using WeChat since she went abroad?”
“I can’t even reach her phone in R Country!”
Lu Chenyu’s face was expressionless, “She went to R Country to unwind, probably didn’t bring her phone, maybe she doesn’t want to discuss business with you.”
“Is that so?” Lu Hongjian frowned.
“Definitely,” Lu Chenyu finished, “Dad, unless there’s anything else, I’ll head back.”
“Wait a sec.”
Lu Chenyu: “…”
As expected.
“Hurry upstairs and find your mom, she received several girls’ information and photos today. Go pick one, and I’ll arrange your thirty-ninth blind date right away.”
Lu Chenyu: “…”
He shouldn’t have co back!
**
The next morning.
9 AM, Mo Yaoxiong and Zhong Kai arrived on ti at Nangong Hospital’s ward.
Today, they were to hold the first shareholders’ eting after the death of Old Master Mo.
Everyone knew that this shareholders’ eting was actually a real trap.
In the midsumr heat of July, both n were dressed in formal suits, extraordinarily official.
Zhong Kai even brought a whole set of crisp, ironed black suits, including the shirt and tie, everything included.
At Mo Yaoxiong’s gesture, Zhong Kai went over to deliver the clothing, “Mr. Xiao, your clothes.”
Xiao Yebai reached out to take them, his gaze shifting to Mo Yaoxiong, “After the eting, I want to take a trip to R Country.”
Zhong Kai was surprised.
Going to R Country at this ti?
Mo Yaoxiong frowned, “Yebai, Weiyi just wants so ti alone to clear her mind. Don’t worry, she’ll definitely be found…”
“She is pregnant now, I can’t rest easy,” Xiao Yebai said.
“But your injuries haven’t healed yet, and the company really needs you…”
“The injury doesn’t matter,” Xiao Yebai interrupted him, “I can handle the company matters.”
Mo Yaoxiong: “…”
He looked at the young man before him.
Perhaps because Weiyi had suddenly disappeared, Xiao Yebai seed to have not slept well last night. His face was as handsoly cut as ever, but his complexion was poor, his eyes full of red veins, and his gaze was extrely cold…
Since joining the Mo Family at 15, Mo Yaoxiong knew that this son’s character was really just like the old master’s.
Once he made up his mind, no one could change it.
Sighing, Mo Yaoxiong could only nod, “Alright. Change your clothes, and after the eting, I’ll go with you.”
…
The two went outside.
As they closed the door and were in the corridor, Mo Yaoxiong suddenly spoke, “Zhong, Assistant.”
Zhong Kai imdiately responded respectfully, “Chairman.”
“How long have you been with Yebai?” Mo Yaoxiong asked.
With the old master’s recent death, the saying goes, “a new king brings his own courtiers.” Now whether it was Mo Yaoxiong or Xiao Yebai starting as the executives of this group, they would definitely “strike while the iron is hot,” resulting in significant moves within the company.
Zhong Kai was extrely nervous, “Chairman, I have been working as an assistant to President Xiao since I joined the company, and it’s almost been five years now.”
“Five years?” Mo Yaoxiong nodded, “Ti flies.”
Zhong Kai tentatively asked, “Chairman, is there a problem with my recent work?”
Mo Yaoxiong smiled, “No.”
He extended his hand and patted Zhong Kai on the shoulder. “Young man, keep up the good work with Yebai!”
…”Sure,” Zhong Kai felt reassured, yet inexplicably more nervous.
Am I about to be laid off?
Just as he was feeling anxious, the door of the ward opened.
Both imdiately looked up.
Xiao Yebai was already wearing his signature rimless glasses and dressed in a pure black suit, complented by a white shirt and a deep red striped tie, his whole appearance sharp and strikingly handso.
Apart from the white bandage on his forehead, he had largely resud his usual business elite deanor.
Mo Yaoxiong was very satisfied.
After the old master’s death, his shares were divided into three parts.
When several major shareholders of the Mo Group learned the contents of the will, they proposed an internal vote to decide new board mbers. This had been delayed for several days, and with the public’s extensive speculation about the Mo Family, all sorts of rumors abounded, causing the company’s stock price to continuously fall.
In such circumstances, there was an urgent need for soone to stabilize the situation.
That person was naturally Xiao Yebai.
**
Soon they were in the car.
Perhaps seeing that the man in the back seat still looked unwell, Zhong Kai couldn’t help but suggest, “President Xiao, don’t worry, the Little Princess probably just wanted so ti alone. She is pregnant now, she surely won’t go too far.”
Xiao Yebai didn’t speak, just turned his face towards the window.
Today was a weekday. Although it was not the peak rush hour, being a Monday morning, the traffic in Nancheng was congested.
At the city center intersection, the light turned red, and Zhong Kai stopped the car.
The red light lasted for more than a hundred seconds, and on the large screen of the nearby shopping mall, Nancheng news was being broadcast.
It just so happened that the biggest news in Nancheng these past few days was none other than the sudden death of old Mr. Mo, and the subsequent discussions about the distribution of his estate had beco a topic everyone relished.
Because Xiao Yebai had not shown up, the Mo Family’s stock prices had fallen, so the news had continued to report on it for several days.
There were all sorts of claims.
So when he saw Xiao Yebai looking towards the big screen, Zhong Kai felt a bit panicky.
After all, despite Mr. Xiao’s cold and indifferent deanor, resembling a robot without emotions, being labeled as a “soft-rice man” by the dia was, for a man… excessively humiliating.
Zhong Kai watched while observing the rear-view mirror.
Thankfully, Mr. Xiao still maintained his expressionless facade, until…
Suddenly, a few words appeared on the screen.
[Bombshell! Mo Family princess is not a biological child. The adopted Xiao Yebai is the true blood kin!]
Zhong Kai: “…”
Upon seeing this headline, he was stupefied for quite a while.
The only thought in his mind was: Damn, are these news outlets just trying to stir up chaos? How dare they release such baseless, sensational news?
Then he took a glance at the rear-view mirror.
As expected, Xiao Yebai also slightly furrowed his brow.
Fortunately, the traffic light had turned green, and Zhong Kai hurriedly thought to start the car…
“Don’t start yet.”
Zhong Kai: “…”
His movent on the pedals was forcibly halted.
Xiao Yebai was intently staring at the big screen.
Usually, these big screens are silent, but they display subtitles.
From a distance, it was hard to see clearly.
So he seed to be looking very closely.
Zhong Kai could only watch along…
At first, he was very skeptical, until an interview scene appeared on the news, and he was completely petrified.
The person being interviewed was actually the Little Princess?
Although her face wasn’t shown and no sound was heard, the…
subtitles below sohow made the whole world seem surreal!
Before he could react, a voice from the interview with Mo Weiyi suddenly ca from the back seat.
“I have already transferred all the shares that grandpa left to Xiao Yebai. These things originally belonged to him, and I do not want them, nor am I qualified to take them. Additionally, I have formally divorced Xiao Yebai, and from now on, I, Mo Weiyi, have no connection with Xiao Yebai or the Mo Family. Please continue to support Mo Group…”
Zhong Kai quickly took out his mobile phone.
As expected.
Several trending news headlines had already appeared on Weibo.
“Open the car door.” In the deadly silent car, the man’s voice rose low and husky.
“Mr. Xiao…”
“Open it.”
Zhong Kai didn’t dare to open it; Xiao Yebai still had a bandage on his head, and besides, they were in the middle of the road, with car horns blaring outside…
What a ss!
“Did you not hear what I said?”
Listening to the man’s suppressed, almost hoarse voice, Zhong Kai could only press the car door switch.
The mont the child lock disengaged, Xiao Yebai imdiately pushed open the car door and got out.
