Chapter 72
Xia Jiye returned home angrily, kicked over the coffee table, and then hugged his foot in pain.
Zhou Min and her daughter-in-law had just returned home from their makeovers and were shocked to see him so angry. "Jiye, what's wrong with you?"
she asked anxiously.
Xia Jiye was so angry that his face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Xia has no intention of handing the company over to me!"
Zhou Min's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief, "Why?"
"Now there's a guy named Lin Cai in the company, he's Xia Lin's adopted son. What's worse is that the old man actually strongly supports him and directly made that kid the vice chairman!" Xia Jiye roared angrily, "I have worked hard to help the old man run the company for more than 20 years. Even if I don't have any credit, I have worked hard, right? But in the end, an outsider got the advantage!"
As he said this, he swept all the items on the table to the ground.
"How could this happen..." Zhou Min was so shocked that he couldn't accept the fact and stared at his son with dull eyes.
"That's it!" Xia Jiye became angrier the more he thought about it, his heart filled with resentment and unwillingness.
He remembered that he even changed his last name in order to please the old man, but in the end he was still no match for an unrelated outsider.
This feeling of frustration almost made him lose his mind, and he wanted to rush over and question Old Man Xia immediately.
However, he knew that doing so would only make things worse, so he could only endure the humiliation in silence.
"When I heard that Xia Lin was coming back, I had a bad feeling, but what I didn't expect was that Xia Lin didn't come back, but directly stuffed people into the company!" Xia Jiye said gritting his teeth. He really couldn't accept this fact.
"Then what should we do now? How could Mr. Xia treat you like this? Haven't we been good enough to him? We treated him like our own father and stayed by his side all these years, but he gave the company to someone else!" Lin Qi also felt indignant.
She was filled with resentment and resentment, because she believed what Xia Jiye said and thought that the Xia family would eventually belong to them, so she resolutely got married to him. But now it seems that all this is just a huge joke.
"Xia Jiye, didn't you always say that the company would be yours? Xia Lin will never come back!" Lin Qi pulled Xia Jiye's collar excitedly and questioned him loudly.
Xia Jiye's face was frighteningly gloomy, with anger flashing in his eyes: "Don't worry, I will never give up!"
He secretly vowed to find a way to take back what belonged to him and not just sit there and wait for death.
Xia Jiye was also angry when he saw her regretful expression. He raised his hand and slapped her, "It's mine. So what if it's not mine? Now you regret it, but what's the use of regretting? It's impossible for Xia Lin to fall in love with you again."
"It was you who chose me in the first place, I didn't force you." Xia Jiye's voice was cold and ruthless.
"You dare to hit me!" Lin Qi covered her beaten cheek and looked at Xia Jiye in astonishment, as if she couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes.
Then she rushed forward angrily and started fighting with Xia Jiye.
Seeing this, Zhou Min hurried forward to pull Lin Qi away, slapped her hard, and shouted angrily: "Why do you hit my son!"
Lin Qi covered her face and stared at them with resentment, "How dare you hit me! Well, just wait for me! Don't forget, my Lin family is not easy to bully!" After saying that, she turned around and ran out.
Xia Jiye looked at Lin Qi's departing back and couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
After all, the current situation of the Xia family is unclear. If the Lin family no longer supports him, he will fall into a huge crisis.
"Mom, why did you hit her!" Xia Jiye complained as he pushed his mother away and hurriedly chased after her.
Zhou Min lost his balance and fell to the ground, feeling extremely wronged and angry.
She felt that everything she did was for Xia Jiye's own good, but she was treated like this.
She shouted to the servants who were watching the fun around her: "What are you looking at? Come and help me up!" This embarrassing scene was soon noticed by someone, who quickly reported the situation to the Xia family's housekeeper.
At this time, Butler Xia was talking to Old Master Xia, who was concentrating on tending to the peonies. If Xia Ruo'an were here, she would definitely recognize that these flowers were the ones she asked Lin Cai to sell.
The housekeeper reported to Mr. Xia: "Master Jiye is very dissatisfied with Master Lin's entry into the company."
In fact, he was very confused by the master's behavior. Then the butler added: "And he beat his wife."
Upon hearing the news, Old Master Xia simply responded, "Oh." He thought of Lin Qi, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
He thought that his son Xia Lin was so outstanding, but Lin Qi chose Xia Jiye, so she deserved to be beaten.
Old Master Xia said with emotion: "I originally planned to send Lin Qi to Lin'er after he reached the legal age for marriage, but I didn't expect that she would choose Xia Jiye. This is her own choice, and now she can only bear the consequences."
"Master, why don't you explain it to the young master? He will understand you."
"What do I want him to understand? I was not able to send Zhou Min to jail, so it's reasonable for him to resent me.
"But if you send her in, she will be released soon. You seem to be supporting them all these years, but in fact, our Xia family has already gotten more from those people." The butler looked at the master.
"So what? They were unwilling to take over the trouble and let me take it over. In the end, my wife died and my children were separated. I don't want those things. I just want my wife to be fine." There was only resentment in Xia Wenxuan's eyes.
"Don't worry, Lin'er will be back soon, and then we can give him a chance to vent his anger." Xia Wenxuan looked at the blooming peony in front of him.
"The flowers grown by my An An are so beautiful." Xia Wenxuan said proudly.
"The young lady is just like the old lady. She has a lot of experience in flowers and plants." The housekeeper was also happy to hear that.
"Xia Jiye is actually angry. It seems that they will put the marriage with the Zhou family on the agenda." Xia Wenxuan said sarcastically.
The housekeeper didn't know how to respond after hearing this, "Why don't you tell Master Zhou about the young lady's affairs? That way, he won't betray the young lady and choose Miss Xia Meihui."
"Why should I say that he can give up An An and choose Xia Meihui because of his background now? Even if he knows the truth, he will choose An An, and he can give up An An again in the future."
"Besides, the Zhou family is worthy of marrying my, Xia Wenxuan's granddaughter." Xia Wenxuan had never acknowledged that Zhou Mufan was An An's boyfriend.
