After seeing Rong Shan off, Huo Beixiao returned to his office and sat down, unable to help but smile bitterly.

It's no longer a question of whether he wants a divorce or not.

Many things in this world are truly impossible to have both ways of doing things. Perhaps his trip to Hong Kong was a mistake in itself.

At that moment, Huo Beixiao caught a glimpse of the documents he had placed next to his desk out of the corner of his eye.

He couldn't help but frown slightly.

Those documents have been rummaged through!

He called his assistant in and asked, and learned that after he left, no one had entered his office except for Jiang Yiran.

Huo Beixiao's brows furrowed even more, and Jiang Yiran...

Why is she touching her files?

"Sister Qiaoqiao, with these machines, it won't be a problem for us to double our down jacket production this year."

Zhou Yang looked at the new machine that Yang Qiaoqiao had just bought and was eager to get started.

Yang Qiaoqiao's face was also beaming with smiles.

Last year was their first year producing down jackets, but because their equipment for processing down was not only incomplete but also outdated, they dared not accept any orders from Yu Qian in Beicheng after she opened up sales channels.

This year, Yang Qiaoqiao purchased the most advanced machines to form a complete production line, covering everything from dust removal, washing, dehydration, sorting, iron removal to fluffing and filling.

Yu Qian contacted us a few days ago to order down jackets. With production and sales expected to increase this year, we're sure to make a fortune selling down jackets this winter.

Moreover, she has already received an invitation to the trade fair in Haicheng this year, and she plans to bring her down jacket to attend.

She is very confident in the design and warmth of her down jackets, and she expects to receive plenty of orders once they are showcased at the trade fair.

Yang Qiaoqiao was in a meeting with Zhou Yang, Xie Fengxia and other management at the factory to discuss how to start producing down jackets after this batch of orders was completed when Yang Qiaoqiao's phone rang.

Yang Qiaoqiao answered the phone and, after learning from the operator where the call came from, immediately paused the meeting and called back.

"Sister Qiaoqiao, a lot of people have suddenly come to Old Xia's house. Please come and take a look."

Yang Qiaoqiao's gaze sharpened, and she immediately instructed Guo Tao to prepare to go with her to Old Master Xia's place.

Judging from Yang Qiaoqiao's expression, Guo Tao knew that something had probably happened to Elder Xia.

He prepared three vehicles; besides the one Yang Qiaoqiao rode in, the other two took away half of the factory's security personnel.

Yang Qiaoqiao changed into a set of clothes that a typical peasant woman would wear before getting into the car and heading to the village where Xia Yuntao and the others were currently staying.

Soon, they arrived outside Xia Yuntao's house. Before Yang Qiaoqiao even entered, she could hear a noisy commotion coming from inside.

Guo Tao, standing next to Yang Qiaoqiao, looked a bit serious. "Qiaoqiao, should I just take some people in and subdue everyone inside first?"

Yang Qiaoqiao waved her hand, "I can go in by myself."

After saying that, she stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard gate.

Perhaps the noise inside was too loud, because when she knocked the first time, no one heard her and no one opened the door for her.

She knocked again.

This time, someone finally opened the door for her.

As soon as the door opened, Yang Qiaoqiao saw a large crowd of people in the courtyard, and they were all dressed in a Western style.

The men wore vests and suits, paired with leather shoes and trousers, while the women all had fashionable hairstyles and dresses.

The only woman who opened the door for her was wearing a modified cheongsam, which was rather unusual.

Needless to say, Yang Qiaoqiao guessed the identities of these people. Grandpa Xia was right after all; the people behind them had managed to coax Xia Ruizhe's family back.

They won't let them get away with it so easily; they'll bring the rest of the Xia family back together.

Yang Qiaoqiao did not recognize the person who opened the door.

To be precise, it's someone she's never met in her life, though she'd seen them in the news in her past life.

This person is Qin Xiaoyun, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xia family.

In their previous life, Xia Yuntao and his wife left behind a huge inheritance after they passed away.

The inheritance battle among Xia's children has also attracted widespread attention.

Back then, after every lawsuit the Xia family fought, reporters would wait outside the courthouse to interview the Xia family members.

Qin Xiaoyun appeared in the most photos among the Xia family members. As the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest son's family, she believed that the majority of the property left by the elders should be inherited by her family, so she sued all of the Xia family brothers and sisters.

Qin Xiaoyun is already in her fifties, but because she has been living a life of luxury abroad for many years and has taken good care of herself, there are not many signs of aging on her face.

After looking Yang Qiaoqiao up and down, she gave her a friendly smile and greeted her politely, "Comrade, who are you looking for?"

"Isn't this Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia's house? Did they move away?" Yang Qiaoqiao asked instead of answering.

"Qiaoqiao, you're here." Yang Qiaoqiao had barely finished speaking when she heard Wang Shuyi's voice.

At the same time, Wang Shuyi stepped out from behind the crowd.

Before Wang Shuyi and Yang Qiaoqiao could say anything else, Xia Ruizhe jumped out and said, "Mom, our family has been back for so long, and no one has come to visit you. But now that my eldest brother and second brother are back, people are coming."

You also said that you and Dad were hiding things from us, but I think you just wanted to hide all the money so that some outsiders could benefit from it!

Xia Ruisong and Xia Ruibo also returned with their families, but Xia Ruizhe was the most excited.

He had given up hope that the elderly couple would have any assets, but unexpectedly, his eldest and second sons suddenly came back.

Moreover, they brought back photos of the contract for the elderly couple's investment of 1 billion yuan to develop a high-end community in Haicheng.

Although it's just a photo, you can tell that the signature on it is indeed the old man's handwriting.

Now those two old folks can't deny they have no money, can they?

It's a bit of a pity. They were the first to get the news and the first to come back. They even worked so hard and suffered with the elderly couple in China, doing so much work, even manual labor.

This money couldn't possibly be just for their family.

However, considering the suffering they endured after their return, he was determined to make the two old men share more with them.

Xia Ruizhe looked at Yang Qiaoqiao and said with certainty, "Mom, are all those assets of yours given to her for investment?"

Seeing Xia Ruizhe like this, Yang Qiaoqiao exchanged a glance with Wang Shuyi.

He instantly understood what Wang Shuyi meant.

Yang Qiaoqiao looked at Xia Ruizhe timidly, then awkwardly hid behind Wang Shuyi. "Grandma Xia, I... I just came to deliver eggs to your house..."

Yang Qiaoqiao made ample preparations before coming. She not only changed into the clothes of an ordinary peasant woman, but also brought twenty eggs with her.

At this moment, she quickly and timidly handed the eggs to Wang Shuyi.

Wang Shuyi took the eggs and said politely, "Xiao Yang, thank you. A few people came back to our house, please excuse the commotion."

I'll bring you the money for the eggs later.
