Chapter 786: Mr. Xiao is so generous
"So you think the He family asked you to go there in order to persuade you to continue to manage Xiao Tiantian and her daughter?" I think this is a bit too shameless. Xiao Tiantian's surname is not even Xiao, and they still have the nerve to ask this?
Xiao Shiqiu seemed to be lost in thought. "It's impossible to continue managing the mother and daughter. I guess they want me not to recover the shares they hold. As long as they have the shares, they will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives."
I asked tentatively, "Will you agree? After all... after all, they have been your family for eighteen years."
I actually feel quite conflicted. On the one hand, I can understand that Xiao Shiqiu might be soft-hearted towards them, but on the other hand, I sincerely hope that he will no longer have any relationship with He Qingrong and her daughter.
Even when something like this happened, I felt a little secretly happy.
"Impossible!" Xiao Shiqiu said firmly, "He Qingrong was the one who cheated on her in marriage. The Xiao family has been very kind to her over the years, and she's gotten enough! It can be said that she couldn't enjoy such a life in the He family at all.
Now that something like this has happened, how could she still want to continue holding shares in the Xiao family and enjoy the same life as before? "
I couldn't help but be curious and asked, "How many shares do the mother and daughter have in their names?"
"Not much, just 0.1% between the two of them." Xiao Shiqiu said casually, "Based on the current market value, it's worth about 550 million."
I almost choked on my juice: "You call this not a lot? Haha, Mr. Xiao is so generous!" I gave him a thumbs up.
Xiao Shiqiu smiled and pinched my face: "For the Xiao family, it is indeed not much. These were originally the shares of my uncle's family and should have been inherited by my cousin.
Half of it was transferred to He Qingrong after she gave birth to a daughter, and the other half was transferred to her when Tiantian turned eighteen."
No wonder some actresses, even if they can't marry into a wealthy family, want to bear children for the second or third generation of the rich. Isn't having a child much easier than working hard on your own? If having a child can be worth hundreds of millions, why bother working so hard yourself?
Thinking of this, I feel that the ambition that had just emerged a while ago seems to have disappeared completely.
The next day, we arrived at the He family villa as planned. As one of the top wealthy families in City A, even though the gap between them and the other families has widened, the He family mansion still looks very luxurious.
However, as someone who has seen top-notch luxury homes, I remained quite calm when faced with such a gorgeous European-style mansion.
An old man who looked to be in his sixties was standing at the door of the house. Although he didn't look young, the lines on his face were still strong, his nose was high, and his lips were slightly pursed. Judging from his facial features, he must have been a handsome man when he was young. However, in addition to his shrewd eyes, there was also a hint of frivolity.
He Zhiming personally greeted us at the door. When he saw me, his expression was a little complicated, but he quickly regained his kind smile. "Miss Xia, you are so young. It's a pity that I was not in City A when you got engaged and couldn't attend your engagement party."
"Mr. He, you're welcome," I said with a sweet smile, "You can still come to my wedding next time Qiu and I get married."
He Zhiming's smile froze for a moment, but Xiao Shiqiu seemed to enjoy calling me "Aqiu". This was the first time I called him so intimately in front of outsiders.
Most of the time I either call him Uncle or Lao Xiao, and he has lost his temper because of what I say.
The word "Aqiu" made the smile on his face more sincere than before.
He cooperated very smoothly, as if he didn't notice He Zhiming's stiff smile at all. "Yes, Uncle He, remember to come when we get married."
He Zhiming is indeed an old fox. He laughed and said, "Don't worry, even if I don't have time to go, I will definitely send your wedding gifts."
As he was speaking, He Zhiming welcomed us into the house.
The styles of the He family villa are completely different from those of the Xiao family. The Xiao family's is the kind of low-key luxury, while the He family is pure luxury. Looking around, you can only describe it in four words: "magnificent and magnificent". It is obviously less sophisticated than the Xiao family.
This European-style decoration style looks a bit outdated, but you can still tell that it is made of real money.
After passing the entrance hall, there is a large living room with an open space. He Qingrong is sitting on the sofa with a pale face. When she sees us, her eyes flicker a little.
Xiao Shiqiu's expression remained unchanged when he saw her. He just pondered for a moment and then asked, "How is Tiantian?"
When he asked about his daughter, He Qingrong's eyes flashed with hope. She blinked twice, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Tiantian is not in danger of death for the time being. She's just still very weak and emotionally unstable. She keeps calling for her daddy..."
Before she could finish, Xiao Shiqiu frowned and interrupted her, "Then why didn't you stay with her in the hospital? Why did you leave her there alone?"
He Qingrong was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Xiao Shiqiu would react like this after she said she felt sorry for his daughter. He immediately made her angry.
Seeing that the situation was a bit awkward, He Zhiming hurried out to smooth things over, "Rongrong has been in the hospital all day, and she just came back to get some things for Tiantian." Then he winked at He Qingrong, indicating that she should go upstairs.
Xiao Shiqiu glanced at the father and daughter, and without saying anything else, he pulled me to sit on the sofa opposite them.
I pretended to be innocent and looked around. "So this is Tiantian and Sister He's house. It looks so magnificent and grand."
He Zhiming didn't think much about it and said casually: "Oh, this is the He family's house. Tiantian and her mother have their own house."
I pretended to be confused. "They have their own house? They don't live here? Then why are Tiantian's things here?"
He Zhiming choked. He didn't expect me to say it so clearly. He just made up an excuse casually to make sure that Xiao Shiqiu would not take it seriously.
But he didn't expect me to say it so openly.
He Qingrong paused as she was going up the stairs, glared at me fiercely, and quickened her pace to go upstairs.
I pretended not to see it and continued to look at He Zhiming with a smile. He looked at Xiao Shiqiu and saw that Xiao Shiqiu had no intention of stopping me from talking. Instead, he looked at me and smiled lovingly. The smile on his face faded a little.
"They come back to stay occasionally, and they leave some of their things here."
As if afraid that I would continue to harp on about details, he shouted to the kitchen, "Xiuyun, make three cups of good tea and bring them over. Use the tea leaves from the new tin can in my study."
A soft female voice came from inside, "I understand, Mr. He."
The voice is nice, but I always feel that it doesn't sound like a nanny's. Then I think I'm thinking too much. Who says a nanny's voice can't be nice?
