Chapter 93
Xia Ruoan thought anxiously that he was afraid that he would not be able to escape the fate of being scolded this time.
She muttered to herself, "Well... my eldest brother, I don't think he would be so cruel as to let me become a second-marriage person, so even if he does something to you, he will probably be careful about the extent of his actions."
After saying this, Xia Ruoan secretly glanced at Leng Zexi, his eyes revealing a hint of guilt.
Leng Zexi felt both angry and amused when he heard her say that.
Well, in this situation, instead of relying on others, it is better to think about how to save yourself.
At the same time, Lin Cai was not polite. Even Xia Jiye came to participate in this auction.
In fact, at the beginning, Mr. Xia did not plan to take him with him, but Lin Cai unexpectedly agreed.
Old Master Xia glanced at Lin Cai suspiciously, but finally nodded, indicating that he agreed to let Xia Jiye come along.
It has to be said that Mr. Xia's idea was not wrong. The reason why Lin Cai agreed to let Xia Jiye come was completely intentional. His purpose was to piss off Xia Jiye.
Moreover, Lin Cai was not bidding blindly at the auction. As he had said before, he would only bid for those things that were truly suitable for Xia Ruoan and useful.
They are all jewellery and jades with great collection value, very beautiful, and of course the prices are equally beautiful.
Because of this, he stole the show at this auction and attracted a lot of people's attention.
Xia Jiye widened his eyes and stared at Lin Cai. Looking at the mountain of auction items in front of him, he couldn't help feeling jealous and angry.
He couldn't help but say, "Lin Cai, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but look at how you spend money like water! If I let you manage the company in the future, you'll squander all our wealth!"
After saying that, he shook his head, with an expression of disappointment on his face.
However, facing Xia Jiye's accusation, Lin Cai didn't care at all. Instead, he smiled and responded lightly: "Oh, Manager Xia, don't worry about it! I bought these to give to An An. Besides, the money spent is not mine, so what should I be afraid of?"
As he said that, he turned to look at Grandpa Xia, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and then he said, "Grandpa Xia, you said so, right? You will definitely reimburse me for the treasures I bought today, right?"
At this moment, Mr. Xia, who had been silent all this time, twitched his mouth slightly when he heard this.
To be honest, if he hadn't said it himself, he would have reimbursed him. Hearing Lin Cai say it, he felt like he was being treated as a fool.
But when he thought that all the things he bought were intended to be given to his beloved granddaughter, he could only nod helplessly, indicating that he agreed with Lin Cai's approach.
Although Mr. Xia had no objection to this matter, Xia Jiye on the side was not happy! In his opinion, since Xia Lin left the Xia family, everything in the Xia family from top to bottom should belong to him.
And now, Mr. Xia is actually willing to pay for Lin Cai. Isn't it obvious that he wants to use his money to please this outsider?
Thinking of this, Xia Jiye's face became even gloomier, and he was secretly thinking about how to prevent this from happening.
Ever since Lin Cai took the position of vice chairman, he has become Xia Jiye's sworn enemy.
Because in Xia Jiye's eyes, Lin Cai not only deliberately opposed him, but also attempted to get his hands on the Xia family's huge fortune.
"Dad, you bought too many things!" Xia Jiye frowned and looked at Master Xia beside him, with a bit of dissatisfaction and doubt in his tone.
"What? Do you have a problem with my Grandpa Xia paying for me? Besides, these are all bought for Grandpa Xia's granddaughter. Do I need your uncle's approval before this can be done?"
Lin Cai crossed his arms, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looked at Xia Jiye with a smile, and retorted.
Then, Lin Cai gently placed one hand on his chin, stared at the two of them thoughtfully, and slowly said: "Grandpa Xia, tell me, does this Xia family belong to Xia Jiye alone?"
"Look at his painful expression, as if he spent his own money. I can't help but wonder, is he your adopted son, or an illegitimate child who is not allowed to be seen in public?"
As soon as Lin Cai finished speaking, he raised his voice again and added: "Also, Grandpa Xia, you told me in person before that the Xia family originally belonged to my father."
"If that's the case, why is he pretending to be so distressed? Not only has he occupied my father's identity for more than 20 years, but now he even wants to swallow up the property that my father deserves. It's simply a foolish dream!"
At the end, Lin Cai did not hide the sarcasm on his face and glanced coldly at Xia Jiye.
"Manager Xia, don't be so naive as to think that just by changing your last name from Liu to Xia, the Xia family will naturally belong to you!"
Lin Cai did not lower his voice at all when he spoke, and his voice echoed in the surroundings.
The people around were all attracted and turned their eyes to Xia Jiye.
When they saw clearly who was speaking, they couldn't help but reveal a bit of contempt and disdain in their eyes.
Everyone knew clearly in their hearts that this adopted son was really ungrateful and did not know how to be grateful.
Not only that, he even attempted to replace him and become the head of the Xia family. This is simply a blatant attempt to usurp someone else's position!
Some people couldn't help but whispered: "Look at this Xia Jiye, he is really greedy! Back then, Mr. Xia took them back to the Xia family with good intentions, but it ended up causing his original wife, Mrs. Xia, to die of exhaustion.
Now, he is actually planning to take Young Master Xia's property. He is so shameless!"
Another person quickly agreed, "Who said it wasn't? In my opinion, this isn't an adopted son at all, he's clearly an illegitimate child who must not be seen in public!"
When Mr. Xia heard these gossips, he became so angry that his face turned blue. He clenched the cane in his hands tightly with both hands, and his face was full of helplessness because he was squeezing too hard.
"Okay, Lin Cai, stop talking nonsense! Jiye is just my adopted son. The assets of our Xia family have always been left to your father. As for how to distribute them in the future, it is entirely up to your father and has nothing to do with others! What's more, our Xia family's company will naturally be handed over to you in the future."
