"I'm sorry, your purchase ratio is not enough. You can fatten up the baby until the end of the world before you come to see it." "No, I'll do it myself, and there won't be any danger." Qingyun chuckled. Xiao Chengzhe has been quite quiet lately and hasn't been up to any tricks around Qingyun.
In the end, Qingyun went to the Xiao family alone.
Xiao's father and Xiao Chengzhe sat facing each other. Xiao Chengzhe looked unusually dejected, with dark circles under his eyes and lifeless gaze. It seemed that Xiao Chengnuo's matter had really dealt him a heavy blow.
Xiao's father had gray hair and looked more than ten years older.
"I never expected you to do something like this." Mr. Xiao wiped his face, his voice hoarse. "I can't understand why you would illegally seize Xiao's property. This is our own family business! You're pushing Xiao's into a fire pit! What if the higher-ups come to investigate..."
Xiao Chengzhe chuckled upon hearing this: "Your own property? That's your family's property. If I want it, of course I have to take it by force."
These words stunned Mr. Xiao. He hadn't expected that Xiao Chengzhe, who had lived in the Xiao family for over twenty years, would say such a thing. He had treated Xiao Chengzhe even better than his own son, to the point that Mr. Xiao had almost forgotten the fact that Xiao Chengzhe was adopted.
“You don’t need to fight for it. He was planning to hand over the Xiao family business to you anyway,” Qingyun said as she walked in.
Xiao's mother, who had been standing by and watching coldly, came forward and hung up Qingyun's coat. Xiao's father was clearly not expecting Qingyun to come and looked at Xiao's mother with slight shock.
"Why are you looking at me like that? The Xiao family has lost so much money. If I don't call my son here, am I just waiting to go bankrupt?" Xiao's mother glanced at him and said in a cold tone.
Before Xiao's father could speak, Xiao Chengzhe became agitated by Qingyun's words: "He would hand over the Xiao family business to me? Isn't that because you already have Ruixin and don't need the Xiao family business at all?!"
Mr. Xiao stared intently at Xiao Chengzhe, too exhausted even to muster a temper. Xiao Chengzhe was his most promising and proudest child; from childhood to adulthood, Mr. Xiao had only ever praised him. But now, how could he possibly face the reality that all of this was an illusion?
No one paid any attention to Xiao Chengzhe, but Xiao Chengzhe seemed to have found an outlet for his pent-up resentment. He pointed at his father and said, "Do you think it's wrong for me to take that money? It should have been mine all along! Did you really think my father's death had nothing to do with you? If it had nothing to do with you, why did you adopt me? Are you that kind? You just want my dad's shares!"
Sitting there listening to Xiao Chengzhe's accusations, Mr. Xiao's gaze slowly changed. He truly hadn't expected that Xiao Chengzhe had always viewed him this way. In Xiao Chengzhe's eyes, the entire Xiao family was probably his enemy.
Qingyun slowly walked to sit down opposite Xiao Chengzhe. He said in a calm tone, "Xiao Chengzhe, you are the general manager of Xiao's Group, so you should know who holds the shares of Xiao's Group. You should also know that you have always owned 25% of the shares of Xiao's Group."
"Where do you think these shares came from? This is the inheritance your father left you. The Xiao family didn't touch a single penny, and they even carefully preserved the dividends from these years for you."
Qingyun's words incisively exposed Xiao Chengzhe's lies. His pupils contracted slightly; of course he knew these things! When he first secretly desired to obtain the Xiao family's assets, Xiao Chengzhe's sense of morality held him back, but malicious speculation followed: What if the Xiao family wronged him? Wouldn't he then have a perfectly legitimate reason to take them?
The father and his two sons remained silent.
After a long while, Xiao's father said to Xiao Chengzhe in a hoarse voice, "Go abroad to avoid the storm."
Upon hearing this, Qingyun glanced at him but said nothing. She simply tore off a blank check and left it to cover the Xiao family's deficit.
Mr. Xiao's body hunched over almost instantly. Holding the check, he slowly stood up and silently walked upstairs.
Qingyun did not linger and got up to leave.
Xiao's mother leaned closer, frowning as she watched Xiao's father's retreating figure, and complained to Qingyun with a hint of resentment, "Am I mistaken? You're not his biological daughter?"
Both Xiao Chengzhe and Xiao Chengnuo made mistakes, but the treatment they received from their father was terrible.
Qingyun's gaze also turned cold. Xiao's father's attitude made him realize that the protagonist was indeed not so easy to bring down. His mission was not yet completely completed, and perhaps if he was not careful, Xiao Chengnuo would once again become Xiao Chengzhe's stepping stone.

The Zou Group's announcement of its collaboration with Ruixin Pharmaceuticals drew considerable attention. Ruixin Pharmaceuticals has always maintained a low profile, with neither its technical team nor management revealed, and public understanding of the company limited to its various drugs.
However, the remarkable effects of the drug have shrouded Ruixin Pharmaceutical in mystery.
The projects launched by the Zou family have always attracted attention. People had been speculating about his partners for this project, but no one expected that he would end up bringing in such a big name as Ruixin Pharmaceutical.
Some people have mentioned the strong momentum of Xiao's Pharmaceuticals, and almost everyone initially thought that this cooperation opportunity was a sure thing for Xiao's. But now that the result is out, it feels like it was meant to be.
After all, the collaboration between the Zou family and Ruixin is a powerful alliance, while the collaboration with the Xiao family would at most be considered poverty alleviation.
Xiao Chengzhe sat in his car drinking, staring at the words "strong alliance" on the news, while absentmindedly listening to the words coming from his phone.
It was Zou Qiyao calling. Zou Qiyao, unusually, launched into a tirade on the phone: "You've ruined me! You've fucking ruined me, Xiao Chengzhe! Are you out of your mind, encouraging me to go after Xiao Chengnuo? You even said he'd steal Xiao's company from you? You should look in the mirror and see what you look like..."
