Chapter 843 must have its own reasons.
Tao Yang suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to ask Tian Guo, "You said last time your uncle came to your house asking for money. What happened after that? Did they come again?"
The topic suddenly shifted to Tian Guo, who became somewhat flustered.
She said, "They came twice, but my mother was hospitalized and there was nothing of value in the house, so they left."
Tao Yang clenched his fists and said angrily, "There are all kinds of birds in a big forest. I've seen weirdos, but I've never seen one as weird as this!"
Sun Miao was also speechless at Tian Guo's eccentric relative. She asked curiously, "Why are they asking you for money? Don't they have jobs themselves?"
Tian Guo lowered her eyes and explained softly, "There used to be, but my cousin was tricked into joining a pyramid scheme by a friend a while ago, and he squandered all of my uncle's savings. Later, he was imprisoned for more than a year for theft. After my cousin was released last year, he hung out with his friends and, after drinking, hit an old man with his car."
Fortunately, the elderly man wasn't in mortal danger, but he still had to pay medical expenses. My uncle couldn't afford it, so he went to my mother. My mother is soft-hearted, and when my uncle knelt down, she gave him the 20,000 yuan she had painstakingly saved up.
This act of giving completely turned my uncle's family into ungrateful wretches.
Tian Guo's cousin remained idle. After committing a crime, he was bailed out by Tian Guo's uncle.
When they ran out of money, they would ask Tian Guo's mother for more.
Over time, they started treating Tian Guo and her mother like ATMs.
The Tian family was already struggling financially. They had squeezed all the money out of Tian Guo's mother. When they were really out of money, Tian Guo's mother suggested that her cousin find a job to make ends meet.
But it was all in vain. My cousin had become a deadbeat and a scoundrel. Getting him to work was harder than killing him.
Sun Miao found what Tian Guo said completely unheard of.
She had never met a relative as shameless as Tian Guo's uncle, but compared to that, she found it even harder to understand Tian Guo's mother's actions.
"Then why does your mother keep giving them money? Your family isn't exactly wealthy, how much money do you have for them to squander?"
Tian Guo had no intention of giving them the money. She sighed, “My mother is easily swayed. My uncle knows where I work. Every time he asks for money, if my mother doesn’t give it to him, he threatens her, saying he’ll make a scene at my workplace if she doesn’t give it to him. My mother is afraid that I will lose my job, so she has no choice but to agree to their demands.”
Tao Yang clenched his fists tightly, making a cracking sound.
Last time he visited Tian Guo's mother in the hospital, he could tell from her words and actions that she was a very kind person.
But her kindness should not be exploited by such a beast.
Qiao Xing patted Tian Guo on the shoulder and comforted her, "You have to believe that evil people will be punished by evil people. What you need to do is make yourself stronger so that you can protect yourself and your mother."
Tian Guo nodded vigorously.
The few people she met who were like the Big Bad Wolf were the greatest stroke of luck in her unfortunate life.
They taught her how to find her own light in a life full of hardships.
Sun Miao comforted Tian Guo for a few words, then turned around and saw Tao Yang clenching his fists, his chest heaving, looking like he was very angry.
Sun Miao's eyes darted around, and she teased, "Tao Yang, what's wrong? Are you feeling sorry for the fruit?"
Upon hearing this, Tian Guo's face flushed red instantly, and her eyes behind her glasses were filled with panic.
Tao Yang paused, then belatedly realized that he had overreacted.
He coughed twice to cover his embarrassment. "Don't talk nonsense. I just can't stand this kind of blatant bullying. They think Tian Guo is easy to bully, so they dare to be so arrogant. If I met someone like that, I would definitely teach them a lesson!"
"Wow! I didn't realize you were so manly. I thought the most responsible person in the company was Boyan. It seems I was wrong."
As Sun Miao was speaking, she suddenly turned her head and looked around. "Where's Boyan? I haven't seen him all morning."
Tian Guo said, "Brother Chen didn't come to the company this morning, he must have something to do."
Sun Miao said in surprise, "He hasn't been to the company for the past two days. I don't know what he's been busy with, and he hasn't told us anything."
She nudged Tao Yang's arm and asked him, "Did I tell you?"
Tao Yang looked guilty and stammered, "You know what Boyan is like. He always does whatever he wants. How would I know what he's busy with..."
Sun Miao suddenly asked Qiao Xing, "Didn't he tell you either?"
Qiao Xing shook her head. "No."
Shen Boyan always acted with discretion. Even if he didn't tell them, he must have his own reasons. Qiao Xing didn't think of asking him what he had been doing.
It was understandable that Tao Yang didn't know, but the fact that even Qiao Xing didn't know made Sun Miao a little strange.
"That shouldn't be the case. You're the person Boyan trusts most in this company. Even if he didn't tell us, he should have at least told you, right?"
Qiao Xing pointed to himself in confusion, "You mean me?"
"That's right, don't you know? In this company, if Bo Yan is the boss, then you're the second boss. No matter what happens, he always considers your opinion and ideas first. Last time with the shares, he made the decision himself, saying he would give you the lion's share..."
Before Sun Miao could finish speaking, Tao Yang patted her on the shoulder. When Sun Miao saw Tao Yang wink at her, she immediately realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly shut her mouth.
Qiao Xing was taken aback.
Sun Miao was afraid that Qiao Xing would misunderstand, so she quickly explained to her, "Qiao Xing, don't overthink it. Although you have the most shares, we all did it willingly. After all, you have made a great contribution to the Big Bad Wolf's success today. So even if this is just Bo Yan's idea, Tao Yang and I don't think there's anything wrong with it, really!"
Tao Yang nodded and said, "Yes, ever since you came to Big Bad Wolf, you've paid for many things out of your own pocket. If it weren't for you holding the company together back then, we might not be able to switch companies now."
Qiao Xing looked at their sincere expressions and couldn't help but smile. "I didn't say anything, why are you two so nervous?"
Sun Miao whispered, "I'm just afraid you'll overthink it..."
“I’m not that kind of person. I know you’ve all been very good to me, so I wouldn’t have those kinds of thoughts. Besides, I feel unworthy of those shares. If you’re happy about it, I’ll feel bad.”
"No, no, no!" Tao Yang quickly said, "You don't know that when Boyan decided to give you the shares, he was afraid that you would feel bad and refuse. After all, it was his way of showing his appreciation. If you still have that kind of thought, Boyan will feel bad."
