There were still two or three people who wanted to cause trouble, and they couldn't help but feel lucky that they had held back and didn't speak out.
Although Xiao Beichen was only warning them now, he would definitely remember this grudge, and it would be impossible for those people to have a good time in the Xiao family in the future.
The people who spoke out also realized this, and Han Chan regretted it very much, and hurriedly smiled dryly and spoke again in a flattering manner.
"Beichen, please don't misunderstand me. That's not what I meant."
"Yes, I'm just worried that the group will be affected, so I want to discuss the plan in advance to avoid speculation from the outside world after the news of the old man's death, which will affect Xiao's stock price."
"Yes, of course you have the final say on the old man's shares. In fact, I just wanted to ask you to handle it. I think all the old man's shares should be transferred to your name."
Xiao Beichen looked at the few people expressionlessly, obviously disdaining to say a word to them.
These people immediately realized what he meant, and their sense of crisis increased sharply, as if they saw that they would be driven out of Xiao's in the near future.
If you can't make peace, you'll just break the pot.
The faces of several people sank, and they looked at each other, understanding each other's meaning, so they all looked at Xiao Beichen, intending to burn their boats.
At this moment, there was a noise at the gate.
The housekeeper of Master Xiao walked in tired and sad.
Two lawyers followed behind him.
Everyone frowned, and they all had guesses.
Xiao Beichen and Xiao Yunxia also looked over, frowning.
The housekeeper stood in front of the siblings, his sad eyes showing respect, and whispered: "Young Master, Miss, please accept my condolences."
"Uncle Zheng, please accept my condolences as well." When Xiao Yunxia saw the housekeeper Zheng, she thought more about her grandpa, and her expression became even more sad.
Butler Zheng is the confidant of Mr. Xiao. On the surface, they are employees, but in fact, they are closer than family members.
Xiao Beichen was silent for a while and said, "Mr. Zheng, why are you here?"
Butler Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "I brought the old man's will."
The eyes of the people present flashed slightly.
Although everyone expected that the old man must have made a will long ago, but the old man should not have had time to add the shares of the Fang family in the past few days to the will. Butler Zheng is coming over now, could it be that...
Butler Zheng turned around, looked at the people opposite, and said expressionlessly: "As everyone guessed, the shares of the Xiao family or the Fang family held by the old man will belong to the young master."
When this was said, everyone present was shocked, including Xiao Beichen.
Butler Zheng turned to Xiao Beichen again and said: "The old man did not have time to add the shares of the Fang family to the will. But the old man's original will is that everything under his name will belong to the young master."
You can hear a pin drop.
Those who wanted to make trouble earlier almost fell down because of their weak legs. They regretted it so much.
They knew that the old man favored Xiao Beichen, but they didn’t expect that he favored him to this extent.
Even if it was only 70% or 80%, it was still within everyone’s acceptance range.
However.
All! It was too outrageous!
For a moment, even those who didn’t want to fight for the inheritance showed their dissatisfaction.
Xiao Beichen didn’t expect that the grandfather would favor him to this extent. After being surprised, he felt even more guilty and self-blamed.
If he hadn’t insisted on destroying the Fang family, the grandfather might not have to be hospitalized for recuperation, and the things that happened later would not have happened.
Why can’t he obey the grandfather’s wishes even a little bit?
Regrets flooded towards Xiao Beichen.
With his lips tightly pursed, he stood up silently and left the old house under everyone's surprised gaze.
Xiao Yunxia understood Xiao Beichen's mood at the moment, and her eyes were filled with heartache.
After a while, Xiao Yunxia glanced at the people present and said, "Now, everything should be based on Grandpa's funeral. If anyone mentions something that shouldn't be mentioned, don't blame me for being ruthless."
After that, Xiao Yunxia stood up and left the old house.
That night.
In the apartment.
Ye Chu stood in front of the window and dialed Qiao Sen's mobile number.
"Miss Ye?" Qiao Sen on the other end of the phone was puzzled, his voice hoarse due to lack of sleep.
Ye Chu's tone remained flat: "Assistant Qiao, is there any news about Fang Mengqing?"
"...Why are you asking about Fang Mengqing, Miss Ye?"
"Shouldn't I ask?"
Qiao Sen was silent for a while, as if hesitating whether to say it or not.
Ye Chu said, "Fang Mengqing pushed me down the stairs on purpose. She also showed up on the night when Master Xiao passed away and left a recording. Shouldn't I have asked her about her?"
Qiao Sen sighed and said, "I was just worrying. It's natural for Miss Ye to be concerned about Fang Mengqing's whereabouts."
Ye Chu said, "Then is there any latest news about her?"
Qiao Sen on the other end felt inexplicably uneasy. Although it was reasonable for Ye Chu to ask Fang Mengqing, but...
Ye Chu: "Xiao Beichen didn't allow you to tell me?" "
No, Master Xiao didn't say that." Qiao Sen quickly denied it, then thought of Xiao Beichen's condition in the past few days, and said sullenly, "Master Xiao has said less than ten sentences in the past few days..."
Ye Chu was sour and numb, and said in a low voice, "Then tell me."
"...We received a report yesterday that Fang Mengqing appeared in the Nanshan area, but Fang Mengqing hid very well. We have searched for more than ten hours and still haven't found her."
"Okay, I got it. Thank you, Special Assistant Qiao."
"Ms. Ye, are you... okay?"
"I'm fine. Thank you for your concern."
"Well, that's good. If Miss Ye has nothing else to say, I'll hang up first."
"Wait."
"Please go on, Miss Ye."
"Is he okay?"
"..." Qiao Sen didn't know how to answer. If he said it well, it would be obviously fake, and if he said it badly, Miss Ye would definitely feel uncomfortable.
Ye Chu immediately understood what Qiao Sen meant. After a moment of distraction, he said softly, "Please ask Assistant Qiao to take good care of him."
Without waiting for Qiao Sen to answer, Ye Chu hung up the phone.
He stared at the phone in a daze for a moment, turned around and walked back to the room, opened the closet and took out the packed backpack.
He walked out of the room silently, stood at the door, and looked quietly at the doors of his parents and Lin Zhi's rooms.
I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, I have to find Fang Mengqing and take revenge on him myself, and then... I'll leave for a while...
If it weren't for me, maybe Mr. Xiao wouldn't have to be hospitalized, and Fang Mengqing wouldn't be able to see Mr. Xiao.
Maybe Mr. Xiao wouldn't have died.
I don't want to drag Xiao Beichen down anymore.
Please, Mom and Dad, and Linzhi, forgive my willfulness...
The old house of the Xiao family.
In the study.
Xiao Beichen had just answered his father's call when he saw Qiao Sen's call.
In the past few days, because of the death of his grandfather, although the Xiao family and the group were not in chaos, there were still many things that needed to be followed up.
Sometimes I would receive a call from Qiao Sen in the middle of the night.
So at this moment, Xiao Beichen was not surprised at all.
"Master, Miss Ye just called me and asked about Fang Mengqing's whereabouts." Qiao Sen's tone was muffled and strange.
Xiao Beichen said "hmm" indifferently.
Qiao Sen said, "Miss Ye also asked me to take good care of you."
"What did she say?" Xiao Beichen's expression, as calm as boiled water, instantly tensed up.
Qiao Sen immediately tensed up and repeated what he had just said, and finally said, "Master, do you also think that Miss Ye wants to say goodbye?"
Xiao Beichen's face suddenly turned pale.
