On a splendid afternoon, the Xi family were in West Park.
“What did you say? Xiaye’s married? To Mu Yuchen? Glory World’s Mu Yuchen?”
In the living room, Deng Wenwen widened her eyes at Xi Xinyi. Her aged face stiffened with disbelief. “Tell again! Who did she marry?”
When Xi Xinyi saw Deng Wenwen reacting like this, she panicked and quickly walked over. Holding Deng Wenwen, she advised, “Grandmother, don’t get too emotional. Xiaye’s married to Mu Yuchen. This happened before the New Year. Yifeng told this himself. It shouldn’t be wrong.”
“Married... to Mu Yuchen? Glory World? This is impossible! There’s no news of their marriage at all since before the New Year till now. This is not possible! How could she get married without letting us know? How could this be? Where does she put the Xi family? It would be a joke if people heard about this!”
Deng Wenwen’s expression looked particularly rigid. She stared at Xi Xinyi in shock, and it was as if all her energy had left her. She collapsed onto the sofa behind her in a daze.
“What’s impossible? The truth is so. They were already married before the New Year.”
The instant Deng Wenwen expressed her disbelief, Xi Jiyang’s calm, weathered voice rang out. Xi Xinyi turned to the source of the sound and noticed Xi Jiyang standing on the stairs.
“Grandfather!” Xi Xinyi called out softly.
Xi Jiyang nodded before he slowly walked down with the help of the railings. His body that turned thinner and frailer by the day looked like a flickering candle in the wind. His aged face was wan and sallow from illness.
When Xi Jiyang spoke, Deng Wenwen instantly looked up at him. Her sharp eyes contained so iciness. “What? Did you already know about this?”
Xi Jiyang made his way down the stairs slowly as he looked at them. “Xi Mushan and I have t them. We’ve t the Mu family, so it’s not that she didn’t inform the family.”
“What did you say?! You and Mushan have t the Mus? Does that an this is real?”
When Deng Wenwen heard his revelation, her expression turned cold as she looked at Xi Jiyang. The gleam in her eyes dimd while she stared angrily at Xi Jiyang. “You an you and Mushan already knew about this! Xi Xiaye just told the two of you and left us out. She didn’t even think of her grandmother?”
You could hear the fury in her sharp voice. Even Yue Lingsi, who listened from the side, had a change in expression. They were all upset.
“Mother, if that really is the case, then Xiaye’s really gone overboard. She...”
On the side, Yue Lingsi did not forget to make things worse, yet when she saw Xi Jiyang frown, she imdiately held her tongue again.
Xi Jiyang did not answer and just ambled over slowly.
Deng Wenwen’s expression began to look like the rolling of dark clouds. The cold light in her eyes shifted while her hands were already clenched into fists. Finally, she could not help but flip the coffee table in front of her. As if she exploded, she got up swiftly!
There was a deafening crash as the entire coffee table was overturned. The teacups and teapots on it shattered all over the ground, frightening Yue Lingsi and Xi Xinyi.
“Great... Just great! You two kept it a secret from . You both hid it from ! You don’t think it’s important to tell ! Great!” Deng Wenwen started to tremble. She was shrouded in gloom as she glared at Xi Jiyang. “You two treat like an outsider!”
“Mother, calm down. Have a seat first. Be wary of your health!”
Yue Lingsi went up worriedly, yet Deng Wenwen pushed her away before walking up to glare at Xi Jiyang. “I, Deng Wenwen have slaved hard for decades now. How much have I sacrificed for the Xi family? Yet, Xi Jiyang, you still treat like an outsider! Xi Xiaye left out completely and didn’t attach a single ounce of importance to as a grandmother. You and Mushan have even agreed to it? How great! You two are great! Both denying my existence! How outrageous! Simply outrageous!”
“Grandmother, calm down. The doctor says you can’t get too emotional. Be careful with your health. Let’s just hear what Grandfather has to say about what actually happened.” Xi Xinyi frowned and held Deng Wenwen. When she saw that her grandmother was on the verge of losing control, she felt worried.
“So what if we told you? Should I let you go and stir trouble? Because of Yueying’s matters, you and Xiaye have been at conflict with each other. You yourself know to what extent! Would you only be happy if you ssed everything up?” Xi Jiyang burst out as he looked at the shattered ss on the ground. His expression darkened.
“Are you blaming now? Xi Jiyang, you’d better watch your conscience. I do all of this for the Xi family! Otherwise, would you just watch helplessly as Yueying collapses? Now, Yueying is in an unstable position. The 20% shares Shen Wenna is holding is like a ti bomb. Xiaye now even controls 70% of the shares. If she sells all of these shares, Yueying might just collapse imdiately!”
Deng Wenwen’s aged face sank as she turned her furious eyes to Xi Jiyang. “Now, it’s just perfect. You’re turning around to bla , aren’t you? Recently, I’ve been worried over so many things, yet have you said anything? Xi Jiyang, ever since the day I married you, have I ever treated the Xi family poorly? Now, you and Xi Mushan are going to do a bank run on like this, aren’t you? Tell ! Tell !”
The more Deng Wenwen spoke, the angrier she got and the more she felt wronged. She flung the magazine in hand at Xi Jiyang as her breath started to quicken.
Xi Jiyang fended off the magazine she hurled at him. He narrowed his eyes at Deng Wenwen as he spoke coldly, “I told you that since Yueying is the Xi family’s property, what’s wrong with giving half to Xiaye and the other half to Xinyi? It’s you lot who are making things so complicated, wanting to have it all for yourself, so what else can I say? Whoever wants to get the role of CEO can just do so with their own capabilities.”
“Half for each of them? You might as well just demolish it all! With Xiaye’s conduct, do you think she can keep Yueying safe? Do you want to let the two sisters fight to their death? I told you Yueying is my life. Whoever wants to touch it will have to do so over my dead body!”
“Huh, that’s your problem then! When you made hand the shares over, you should’ve thought about this outco. In fact, now Xiaye doesn’t care for your Yueying. She...”
Xi Jiyang suddenly thought of Shen Yue.
“I hope that you lot will behave. Avoid the painful consequences that you’ll have to suffer yourselves in the end. Don’t be a joke. Stop causing trouble and let the Xi family have so peaceful days. You won’t get anything good out of offending the Mu family, including the Yues!”
When Xi Jiyang said this, he could not help but feel worn out. Then, he turned to walk upstairs.
