Hu Jingxin smiled slightly, "I've already talked to my mom about this. My dad's gone, but my mom and I will protect the company he built up."

Zhong Yuan put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Brother Zong, you guys go back. You still need to hurry up and arrange things at the company before the wedding. Just give me a break."

Hu Jingxin nodded, "Yes, Xiaoli, you're about to become a bride."

She paused for a moment before saying, "Don't worry, my mother isn't the kind of clueless rich lady that everyone imagines. In the past, whenever there were any major decisions at the company, my father would come back to discuss them with my mother. Once this crisis is over, I will hire a professional manager to run the company."

Jiang Xiaoli nodded when she heard that she already had a complete plan. "Alright then, Xin Xin, as I said before, just let us know when you need us."

Hu Jingxin smiled and said, "Don't worry, if I really encounter a hurdle I can't overcome, I won't be embarrassed."

She went up to each of them and hugged them. "Alright, you can all go back to Kyoto today."

She said apologetically, "Xiao Li, I probably won't be able to attend your wedding. I'm so sorry to have deprived you of a bridesmaid."

Jiang Xiaoli waved her hand, "It's okay, it's okay."

She thought for a moment and asked, "So what are you planning to do about the school?"

Hu Jingxin shrugged. "Anyway, I've already applied to graduate early next year. It shouldn't be difficult to ask for leave by explaining my current situation to Teacher Fang Yong. At most, I'll just have to get a lower grade on the final exam, just like you did back then."

"Okay, as long as you know what I mean."

Finally, after saying goodbye to Mrs. Hu in the ward, they headed straight to the airport and caught the next flight to Kyoto.

Upon landing in Kyoto, Ren Zhiyi and the others returned to school, while Jiang Xiaoli and Zong Jia went directly to the company.

After dealing with the backlog of work from the past few days, Zhu Han delivered the recent group business report.

She raised an eyebrow. "Fang Jingxu has already taken over 'Super Sports'?"

Zhu Han nodded and replied, "Yes, Mr. Fang acquired 15.6% and 14.3% of the shares respectively from Mr. Zhao's two sons. Combined with the 21.5% he already held, 'Jiang's Investment' is now the de facto controlling shareholder of 'Subo Sports'."

After a two-second pause, she smiled and said, "These two caused a huge scene at yesterday's shareholders' meeting, threatening to tear up the share transfer agreement, but they were rebuffed by President Fang."

"Oh?" Jiang Xiaoli looked up and asked, "Tell me about it."

Zhu Han explained, "President Fang had a backup plan. These two simply can't afford the breach of contract clause in the equity transfer agreement. They can't even repay the transfer fee paid to them by 'Jiang's Investment.' One of them gambled away half, and the other used the rest to buy stocks."

"Hahaha." She couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She then sighed, "It's such a misfortune to have a son like that."

She tapped her fingers lightly on the desk a few times. "Zhu Han, send a message to General Manager Fang. No matter how much trouble these two cause outside, we can't let them interfere in company affairs!"

"clear!"

When she got home in the evening, Jiang Xiaoli habitually checked the mailbox downstairs.

She saw a familiar handwriting and exclaimed in surprise, "Ayu, look!"

This is a letter from Great Britain, and the familiar handwriting on the envelope belongs to Chi Haiyao.

Zong Jia's hands trembled slightly as he opened the envelope. The familiar postcard had been replaced by a letter, and he was afraid that he would receive bad news.

Several photos and a piece of letter paper slipped out of the envelope.

Jiang Xiaoli leaned close to him and quickly glanced at the contents of the letter. Chi Haiyao was currently receiving treatment at a medical center in Great Britain and was in good condition. The photos were taken at their wedding venue, which was Jiang Xiaoli's castle estate.

The manor in the photo looks completely different from when she last visited; it's clearly been meticulously maintained.

She smiled and said, "Ah Yu, look, she's still sharing her life with us!"

Zong Jia breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, it's good that everything is alright."

While the two of them were chatting, Li Guizhi returned carrying large and small bags.

The two quickly took the things from her hands. Jiang Xiaoli hadn't expected them to be so heavy. "Mom, what are you carrying here? Could it be gold bricks? Why are they so heavy?"

Li Guizhi laughed and said, "I told you not to mention it, but you insisted. This is a set of props that my master gave me."

"Master?" they both asked in unison.

Li Guizhi pressed the elevator button. "Hehe, let's talk about it when we get home. Xiao Li, has everything been taken care of at Xin Xin's house?"

Jiang Xiaoli nodded, "It's mostly been taken care of. It's just that the company and factory suffered such a serious fire, so the economic losses must be considerable. It will take some time to recover."

"Sigh." Li Guizhi sighed, "Xin Xin is such an innocent and carefree girl. It's really pitiful for her to suddenly encounter something like this."

"Don't worry, Xin Xin is very strong. Brother Yuan is by her side, and she also has all of us friends. She can pull through!"

Li Guizhi nodded. "How is Xin Xin's mother doing?"

She mentioned that Aunt Hu was taking medication, "but now Aunt Hu has figured it out. She is now working with Xin Xin to find a way to manage the company and will not think about doing anything reckless again."

Li Guizhi looked at her daughter, "I understand how Xin Xin's mother feels. If your father hadn't been so young back then, I really..."

Jiang Xiaoli quickly hugged her, "Mom, you have to take good care of yourself. Let me tell you, I'm much crazier than Xin Xin!"

"Haha." Li Guizhi patted her hand, took out her key, and opened the door. "Don't worry, I've come to terms with things a long time ago. If I did something stupid now and met your dad over there, he definitely wouldn't talk to me!"

She burst out laughing. "That's true!"

She coughed twice, mimicking Jiang Weimin's mannerisms from her memory, "My dad would definitely say, 'Guizhi! You're just making a fool of yourself!'"

Li Guizhi felt both angry and amused. She pointed at her daughter's forehead and said, "Your dad isn't like you, always acting strangely! Aren't you afraid Ayu will laugh at you!"

Jiang Xiaoli tilted her head and looked at Zong Jiayu, "Are you making fun of me?"

Zong Jiayu quickly waved his hand, "How could I dare?"

Li Guizhi laughed out loud at their interaction, "You two!"
