Born into a wealthy family, he was born with a spoon in his mouth.
He received the best education since childhood, and the best resources were invested in him.
If it were me, I would definitely seize this hard-earned opportunity. Once I control the entire Xiao family, what can't I do?
He chose to go against his own father at this time and overestimated his own abilities.
"I feel uneasy today." Xiao Wanli tried several times but still couldn't find the state.
He simply threw the pen aside and rubbed his brows: "I am getting old after all."
"I don't have as much energy as before, and I can't find the focus in anything I do."
"Dad, you need to find some time to have a good rest." Xiao Qi said sensibly.
“Sometimes it’s appropriate to let go and not do everything yourself.”
"I want to too, but I can't do it now." Xiao Wanli sighed.
"Resources are limited, and all parties are eyeing them covetously."
"If you're not careful, you'll suffer huge losses."
"Dad, you're being too cautious." Xiao Qi smiled and said, "You should have confidence in your sons."
"Please rest assured, I will definitely protect the Xiao family's business for my second brother."
Xiao Wanli seemed very satisfied with Xiao Qi's loyalty, and he nodded slightly.
After taking a look at the rice paper, he had no mood to write today, so he threw the pen down.
"Come on, accompany me to play chess and drink tea."
"Father, are you worried about something?" Xiao Qi asked in surprise.
"I don't know why, but I feel upset." Xiao Wanli shook his head gently: "It seems that I am worrying too much. I have nothing to do today, so I should relax a little."
"Okay." Xiao Qi bowed slightly, then went to the small garden outside with Xiao Wanli to drink tea and play chess.
"Dad, your birthday is coming soon. You'll be turning seventy this year. This birthday party must be lively."
"Let's talk about it later." Xiao Wanli held up the chess piece and murmured, "The older people get, the less they like crowds."
"Besides, extravagance and waste are strictly prohibited nowadays. I think it's better to keep a low profile."
"Dad, how can we keep a low profile?" Xiao Qi said with a smile, "Now the Xiao family is growing stronger and stronger, and it is already on the verge of becoming as famous as the four clans of Yanjing."
"This is just the opportunity to make the Xiao family's reputation even more famous."
"You're right." Xiao Wanli placed a piece and said thoughtfully, "I haven't held a birthday party in several years. How about taking advantage of this opportunity to have a lively one this year?"
"It has to be lively, Dad. Just leave this matter to me. I guarantee it will be done to your satisfaction."
"Okay, haha, I'm at ease with you doing the job." Xiao Wanli laughed.
He trusted this adopted son very much, and since things like birthday banquets did not involve the company's financial interests, it would be most appropriate to let Xiao Qi handle it.
Chenhai Technology, Xiao Chen hung up the call with Tao Meng.
He looked up at Xiao Ting in the room and said, "The time is ripe. You can go to court with all your evidence now."
"And I have arranged for someone to go through the fast track, so the court staff will file the case as quickly as possible."
Xiao Ting stared at Xiao Chen in a daze, unable to react for a moment.
She had been waiting for this day to come, but when it finally arrived, she felt that everything seemed so unreal.
"What? Do you still have questions?" Seeing that she was hesitant to move, Xiao Chen asked in surprise.
"No." Xiao Ting shook her head and wiped her red eyes: "I have been looking forward to this day."
"Xiao Chen, thank you."
She bowed deeply to Xiao Chen, then turned and left.
She couldn't wait any longer; she had been waiting for this day for too long.
She had just left the house when the office door opened, and it was Wen Yi who came.
"Mom, why are you here?" Xiao Chen quickly stood up and welcomed her in.
"I'm on vacation today. I haven't visited your company in a long time. I took advantage of my break to come and see you." Wen Yi said with a smile.
"This is a temporary office. The new office building was given by the government and is currently being renovated." Xiao Chen asked her to sit down and made her a cup of coffee.
Wen Yi took Xiao Chen's coffee, took a sip, and then said, "Your aunt came to my place today and said you were planning to do it?"
Xiao Chen was stunned. He originally wanted to hide these things from Wen Yi.
Although I know it is impossible to hide it, I will try to hide it for as long as possible.
But she didn't expect her aunt to reveal it to her so quickly.
He nodded: "Yes, Xiao Wanli owes a debt to our family of three, and he wants to give us an explanation."
Wen Yi's hand tightly grasped the cup, and it was obvious that she was struggling internally.
After a long while, she finally spoke: "Xiaochen, Xiao Wanli caused our family of three to be separated for eighteen years."
"Although I hate him very much, you finally came back to me. Now I just hope you can be safe and sound."
"Let the past go, as long as it's over."
Xiao Chen knew that she was worried about him. After all, the Xiao family was too powerful in Yanjing.
He sat next to Wen Yi and held her hand: "Mom, I wanted to let it go this way."
"But Xiao Wanli doesn't intend to let me go."
"Since the establishment of our company, he has been making frequent moves to annex Chenhai."
"We've been blindly tolerating him, but he's only become more aggressive in return. So this battle must be fought."
Wen Yi nodded and sighed: "Child, you have your own ideas and considerations, so no matter what your decision is, I will support you."
"Xiao Wanli has been entrenched in Yanjing for many years, but my son is very outstanding."
"Your grandfather's family will also fully support you. This Yanjing is not Xiao Wanli's world."
"Thank you, Mom." Xiao Chen was very moved. This is the power of family love.
"After dealing with Xiao Wanli, what do you plan to do? Take over the Xiao family?" Wen Yi asked again.
In fact, this is the most troublesome thing.
Xiao Wanli came to power through illegal means, and after he attached himself to the daughter of a powerful official in Yanjing, his ambition grew.
After gaining the support of his original wife's family, Wang, he began to use his connections to expand rapidly.
The files left behind by Chen Qingshan were enough to tear the Xiao family apart.
If Xiao Chen tries to take over the Xiao family, he will have to bear the consequences of backlash.
Because the situation after the disintegration of the Xiao family is the most difficult to control.
"No, I just want Xiao Wanli and the Xiao family to disappear. I have never thought about controlling the Xiao family." Xiao Chen shook his head.
"After all, in Xiao Wanli's eyes, my father is just an illegitimate child, and I am just a wild child who grew up among the people."
"He never really acknowledged our identity, and I had no intention of taking over the Xiao family."
"Then who are you?" Wen Yi was a little puzzled.
"Create a brand new Xiao family. I, Xiao Chen, will have my own wealthy family and will not depend on anyone." Xiao Chen said in a deep voice.
