This problem was within Hua Xuanhe's expectations.

Hua Xuanhe said in a low voice, "We don't know either. Grandpa asked around and investigated in private, but no one knows who it is."

Shi Xi was surprised, "Grandpa Hua doesn't know?"

How could she, her own mother, keep this a secret so well?

“My aunt met her boyfriend when she went abroad,” Hua Xuanhe explained. “It’s not easy to investigate overseas.”

Moreover, that was twenty years ago, when communication technology was not advanced enough.

"Never mind, it doesn't matter whether it's there or not." Shi Xi continued to set up her stall.

Hua Xuanhe looked at Shi Xi, hesitating to speak.

As the two strolled around, they came across the place where Grandpa Hua and Xie Yunzhou were playing chess.

"Let's go take a look." Shi Xi wanted to know what these two elderly people had to say, and why they were avoiding people.

"They are playing chess."

"Let's see who loses."

"..."

Inside the pavilion, the two chatted while playing chess.

Grandpa Hua asked slowly, "How long have you known Xixi?"

“One year.” Xie Yunzhou still found it somewhat amusing when he recalled the scene of their first meeting.

Grandpa Hua made a move, "So, what kind of girl do you think she is?"

Xie Yunzhou put away his smile and said seriously, "Xixi is an outstanding girl. She is smart, cheerful, kind and open-minded. Words cannot describe even a fraction of her. You will know how wonderful she is after you get to know her."

"Since you like her so much, why did you agree to let her go out into the world and suffer?" Grandpa Hua looked at Xie Yunzhou.

“I like her, but that doesn’t mean I want to control her,” Xie Yunzhou said calmly. “When I first met her, I could tell she lacked a sense of security. No matter how much others give her, she doesn’t trust them. Only what she earns through her own hard work makes her feel truly secure and at ease.”

Grandpa Hua remained silent and made another move.

The two played chess in silence for a while.

Grandpa Hua said, "I prepared a small gift for her, but I didn't give it to her earlier. Could you take a look for me?"

Xie Yunzhou was slightly surprised. He took the book, glanced at it, and pondered, "Perhaps she won't accept it."

"Oh?" Grandpa Hua was incredulous. "There's someone who would refuse this gift?"

As they were chatting, Shi Xi and Hua Xuanhe walked over.

Xie Yunzhou put the things back, his eyes regaining their calm.

"Hello, Grandpa," Shi Xi greeted politely, glancing at the chessboard before walking behind Xie Yunzhou. "Who won?"

Xie Yunzhou said helplessly, "The outcome is still undecided."

Grandpa Hua wasn't interested in the chess game, but looked at Shi Xi and said, "Since you're here, this is for you."

Shi Xi immediately became alert upon seeing the document handed to her. "What is this?"

Grandpa Hua: "You'll know once you open it and take a look."

Hua Xuan and Shi Xi followed Shi Xi in from outside. After seeing the documents, they understood much more.

Shi Xi took the file, opened it, and saw familiar text.

Share Transfer Agreement

Moreover, they actually own 7% of the shares!

It may seem like a small amount, but this is Hua's company!

The dividends alone are extremely generous in a year.

"I can't accept it," Shi Xi refused outright.

“Once you accept this, you only need to collect your annual dividends. You don’t need to do anything for the company,” Grandpa Hua explained slowly. “Everyone in the Hua family receives one; it’s not just for you.”

Hua Xuanhe advised, "Yes, accept it. I own more shares than you do."

That sounds nice, but you're the president of Huashi Group, so of course you hold a lot of shares.
