How could the Xiao family give up so easily?
One by one they started to act unreasonably and chattered loudly.
"Chen Yanting, what's wrong? Now that you have a biological daughter, you don't care about our Xiao family anymore, right? Your daughter is a bumpkin who knows where she came from. She actually dared to confront her grandmother and is now instigating you not to help the Xiao family. Do you want to divorce Xiao Qing'er?" The person who spoke was Xiao Qing'er's second uncle.
He always educates the younger generation in the tone of an elder. Anyway, the old patriarch of the Xiao family is gone, and even though Old Madam Xiao is the head of the family, he is the one who makes the decisions on all matters big and small in the Xiao family.
Shen Yanting's face darkened, and he looked at his second uncle dangerously. "Second Uncle Xiao, I respect you. I call you Second Uncle and acknowledge you as a member of the Xiao family, but please don't forget the agreement we signed. Lately, you seem to be pushing your luck too far."
After Ningning came back, the Xiao family started to make trouble.
Every time Old Madam Xiao comes, she brings up money, and even wants Qingqing to get some benefits here.
Second Uncle Xiao was speechless, and his face looked a little unnatural for a moment.
Shen Yanting continued, "My wife let go of the past and asked me to help the Xiao family, but that doesn't mean my wife and I don't hold grudges. Those who instigate the relationship between my wife and me are dead to me. Even if they are not, I will make them learn to shut up."
He looked at Uncle Xiao coldly. Uncle Xiao shivered when he stared at him. It was a bit cold in the middle of summer.
"Brother-in-law, you know my dad is a bit blunt, and we've all witnessed your relationship with my cousin. But... you suddenly withdrew your investment. What are we supposed to do?"
Shen Zefan snorted coldly, his face full of contempt: "Third cousin, this is your fault. Ever since Qingqing came to the Shen family, our Shen family has supported the Xiao family for many years. Twenty years have passed, and you can't grow. This proves that the Xiao family has no commercial value." He raised his eyes and looked at the other party. His aura was full, which made people shudder: "We are all businessmen. Businessmen value profit. The money we invested in the past 20 years has gone down the drain, without even seeing a splash. Why don't the Xiao family liquidate the property now, and you can get a bigger share."
Old Madam Xiao bullied her younger sister time and again. She used to just jump around a bit because she was the elder after all, so she just had to endure it. The most important thing was that she didn't go that far before.
After my sister came back, I scolded her again and again, but I still didn't acknowledge her.
Since she doesn't want to recognize her sister, why don't they just not recognize the Xiao family?
My mom also supports this, so why not just go for it!
"You...you just watch the Xiao family go bankrupt?" Uncle Xiao couldn't help but question.
"Second uncle, grandpa, it's like a piece of mud that can't be helped up the wall. No matter how many times you support it, it will be the same." Shen Zefan said bluntly, his tone showing contempt for these people.
"You... are so insolent! How dare you talk like that! Is this how the Shen family is brought up?" Second Uncle Xiao was furious and wanted to establish his authority as an elder.
"I'm really curious. You, the Xiao family, acted so presumptuously in my house. Did I say anything? How come you still have the right to blame me? The position you are stepping on belongs to the Shen family, not the Xiao family!" Shen Zefan was also angry. These people were like dog-skin plasters that could not be shaken off.
"Ze Fan, stop talking." Shen Yanting stopped him at the right time, but there was no blame in his tone.
Uncle Xiao: "......"
Why didn't he apologize properly?!
"The Shen family is really well-educated. They talk to their elders like this, without even saying a word in a clear and mild manner?" Second Uncle Xiao began to act like an elder.
"Second uncle, you come to my house and make trouble. Do I have to indulge you? Over the years, how much have my husband and children given to the Xiao family? They gave too much, so your appetite has grown. You plan to rely on the Shen family for the rest of your life, right?
"Why? The Shen family's things belong to the Shen family. What does it have to do with the Xiao family? You've already sold me out once. Don't you think it's ridiculous to come to my house now?" Xiao Qing'er came down from upstairs. She had lost her usual gentleness and faced the Xiao family with a cold expression.
"You..." Uncle Xiao was so angry that he didn't know what to say.
Uncle Xiao stood up and coldly accused, "Xiao Qing'er, how can you talk to your elders like that? The Shen family withdrew their investment for no reason. Isn't it okay for us to ask about it? Withdrawal of investment requires payment of liquidated damages."
He thought the Shen family was unwilling to pay the penalty, so he wanted to continue threatening the Shen family to invest in the Xiao family, but he didn't expect that Shen Yanting would not buy it at all.
"You want liquidated damages? Sure, let's go through all the contracts over the years and see which clauses the Xiao family has violated. As Party A, I have the right to pursue legal action."
If you don't want to save face, then you can't blame him for being rude.
The Xiao family's faces changed and they didn't know what to do.
They looked at Xiao Qing'er and found that she was unwilling to pay any attention to them.
"you......"
"You'd better go back first. I will have someone bring the termination agreement tomorrow. If we want to discuss the penalty for breach of contract, I will send two more people." Shen Yanting ordered them to leave, and these people felt that it was a waste of air when they saw it.
The Xiao family looked at each other in bewilderment...
Finally, he left quietly, thinking about how to get more compensation from the Shen family.
**
When Shen Yaning returned home, the Shen family was already very quiet.
Even eerily quiet.
According to Liu Ma, when the Xiao family came to make trouble, everyone was very quiet. It seemed that the fourth brother came out with disheveled hair and a dirty face, which scared his mother, and the atmosphere in the house became even more subtle.
Shen Yaning raised her eyebrows. Did so many things happen when she was not at home that day?
She went upstairs and knocked on Shen Chenrui's door. Soon the door of the room opened. He was originally angry, but when he saw that it was Shen Yaning, his expression changed.
"Sister, is there anything wrong?" Shen Chenrui asked softly.
"I heard that Fourth Brother was in a bad mood, so I wanted to come and see him." Shen Yaning glanced into the room: "Fourth Brother, can I come in?"
Shen Chenrui looked at his messy room and finally gave up his place.
Shen Yaning saw paper balls all over the floor. She picked one up at random and found that it was covered with newly written notes. There was a violin placed next to the table.
"Has Fourth Brother encountered a creative bottleneck?" Shen Yaning asked softly with concern.
Chen Chenrui smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, it has been two or three days, and there is still no breakthrough. I can't write a suitable song."
Shen Yaning smiled lightly, shook her head and denied it, "It was Fourth Brother who imprisoned himself. This piece of music is obviously very good, it just needs some slight adjustments in some places. It's not a bottleneck period."
Chen Chenrui looked at his sister in surprise: "Does my sister also understand music?"
"I understand a little bit, but it's more of a bystander's perspective."
He certainly wouldn't believe such talk, but out of curiosity, he asked, "Sister, do you know how to modify it?"
