"Dad, do you think I'm a monster?"
Xu Chengde comforted Xu Zhiyi, "My dear, you are the daughter of Xu Chengde and An Xinru. You are the descendant of our Xu and An families. Dad, I am especially grateful to God for giving me such an outstanding daughter like you. Dad, I am really happy and proud."
"Daddy, wooooo."
An Xiangwen and An Xiangwu stood aside with red eyes, looking at the scene and smiling at each other.
It’s really good to have Guaiguai around.
Late at night, after Xu Zhiyi left, sighs were heard again in the study.
"Oh, brother-in-law, big brother, we've already told you what's going to happen next. Now that we know what's going to happen, we just need to prepare for it. Why are you still so worried?"
"Deal with it? Haha, how easy is that?"
"Brother, what do you mean by this?"
"If we want to leave, what excuse can we use? And this excuse can also not affect the relationship between Guaiguai and our An family, and won't make things difficult for Guaiguai."
An Xiangwu, who had just been pumped up, suddenly felt frustrated again, "Then we're back to square one again."
"Brother-in-law, why don't we break off our relationship."
An Xiangwen's words shocked the two of them.
An Xiangwu was the first to object, "No, I don't agree. Brother, how can we sever ties with Guaiguai? What do you think? I don't agree."
"You have to agree even if you don't want to. I've thought about it. If we want to leave cleanly, we have to sever ties with Guaiguai and his sister. Only in this way can we leave without causing trouble for Guaiguai and Zhiyan."
"Brother, is there really nothing we can do? Do we really have to sever ties?"
An Xiangwen shook his head. "No, there's only this one solution. Think about it, everyone in the capital knows how much we cherish Guaiguai and Zhiyan. If we leave without a word, and then someone investigates, just based on our mother's identity, we'll be able to deal a heavy blow to the Xu family. Not to mention our father's identity and the year that Guaiguai went abroad to study."
Besides, we're not really severing ties with Guaiguai. We're just letting outsiders see it, telling them that the Xu and An families are no longer related. Our Xu and An families have been in business and military for so many years, it's impossible for us to be without enemies, and it's impossible for us to have a clear conscience. So, this severance of ties should be written."
An Xiangwu turned around and asked, "Brother-in-law, what do you think?"
"Let me think about it."
"Brother-in-law, give me your answer tomorrow. Xiang Wu, go and count all the family assets. Come to a conclusion tomorrow night and put an end to it."
"Okay, big brother."
Late at night, Xu Chengde stood outside Xu Zhiyi's house, not having the courage to open the door for a long time.
Xu Chengde sighed and finally turned and left.
Inside the house, Xu Zhiyi was sleeping with a frown on his face, tears on his face, breathing heavily, and seemed to be shouting something.
The next morning, Xu Zhiyi sat down with red and swollen eyes.
"Sister, were you crying last night? What's wrong with you? Who messed you up? Tell me, and I'll go beat you up and vent your anger."
"Little brother, no one is messing with me. You, eat quickly and go to school. Don't be late." As he said that, Xu Zhiyi looked at the two brothers Xu Chengde and An Xiangwen standing beside him.
"Guaiguai is right. You should hurry up and go to school. Don't be late again."
"Uncle, I was only late once. Besides, there was a reason for that time. I didn't do it on purpose."
"Good boy, eat your meal quickly and go to work. If there's anything, we can talk about it after get off work."
"Be good and go to work. Your uncle will be waiting for you to come home."
Xu Zhiyi nodded: "Okay."
"Uncle, I'm 15, so tell me. Sister, sister, dear sister, what are you, dad, and uncle talking about?"
Xu Chengde put down his chopsticks and said, "When you raise your attitude, we will tell you."
"Tsk, what's wrong with my attitude? I'm going to be a soldier in the future. I want to go to the battlefield and defend my country."
An Xiangwu smiled and said, "Good, you have ambition."
Late at night, people gathered in the study again.
"Xiang Wen, who will speak first?"
An Xiangwen and An Xiangwu looked at each other and said, "Brother-in-law, let's go first."
"My dear, these are all the An family's publicly known properties and wealth. My uncle has this idea: in a few days, we'll announce to the public that our An family's investments have failed, all the money has been lost, and the houses are being rented out. Also, the An family's textile factory is privately owned, so I'm thinking of finding someone to manage it. When the time comes, let them give you all the profits, and tell the public it's your dividends. Fortunately, the An family doesn't have many factories, otherwise I really don't know how to arrange it."
As for the other factories, their profits were low to begin with, and I wanted to sell them a few years ago. But after all, they were your grandfather's hard work, so I just kept them and didn't care about them. Now is the perfect time to buy them all at once and save myself the worry.
As for the textile factory, Guaiguai has a lot of experience and can draw blueprints. There is also a separate garment factory within the textile factory, which is a huge profit."
"Uncle, don't worry. I will never let anything happen to the textile factory. So where are you going?"
"Hong Kong, right? We can't leave the country. After all, it's our territory. Darling, what do you think my uncle should do in Hong Kong?"
Xu Zhiyi thought for a moment, "Uncle, since ancient times, women's things have been the most valuable. There are many cosmetics, not to mention clothes, jewelry, perfume, and shoes. Hong Kong has a large population and limited land. In this economically backward era, everything can make money. Like manufacturing, especially textiles, clothing, electronics, and toys. There are also finance and real estate. Hong Kong is a free trade port, so trade is naturally very developed.
