Chapter 38: Slap in the face



"You may not be very clear, but I hold the second-largest stake in the entire group. So, you have no right to decide whether I should go or not."

"Grandpa, isn't that what you mean?" Xu Nanzhi said this while looking at Mr. Xu.

At this time, Mr. Xu nodded with an awkward look on his face: "Yes, her shares belong to her grandmother."

The old man's words were vague, but Yao Lihua seemed to have discovered something important: "The old lady has passed away, so these shares can be considered as inheritance and must be divided equally."

These words made the people around her look at her with disdain. Xu Nanzhi's eyes were full of mockery. Zhou Fang said, "If you don't have any knowledge, go read more. My aunt made a will. What's wrong? Are you addicted to taking advantage? Do you want to grab everything?"

After being glared at by Xu Kui, Yao Lihua lowered her head in shame and anger.

"Bad woman, you are a bad woman, you can't say that about mom and sister."

At this time, a little boy rushed towards Xu Nanzhi from not far away and was stopped by Zhou Fang.

Seeing this, Xu Shiqing quickly stepped forward and hugged the boy in her arms: "Shi Yu, why are you here?"

"Sister." The little boy hugged Xu Shiqing.

"Didn't you say you were tired and wanted to go back early? Why are you here?"

"Sister, I, I."

Xu Shiqing still loved her little brother very much, and immediately asked the aunt who was with her to take him back. The little boy was reluctant, so Xu Shiqing said soothingly: "Just go back obediently, this is an adult matter."

After coaxing for a long time, the little boy finally left with others.

After seeing the people leave, Xu Shiqing looked at Xu Nanzhi again: "You came here today just to laugh at us, I tell you..."

Before he could finish, Xu Nanzhi looked at Xu Shiqing's neck, his eyes flashed, and then he said, "Xu Shiqing, please take off this necklace from your neck."

"Why?"

"This necklace is probably not yours."

"Why not?"

Xu Nanzhi looked at her and said, "This necklace was given to me by my grandmother. When we moved to the capital, I left many things behind because we had so many things. But just because I didn't take them doesn't mean they can be yours."

"How do you prove it's yours?"

Xu Shiqing questioned, seeming not to believe it.

She gave him a cold look and said, "The letters engraved on the back of this necklace are my initials."

As if to prove it, Xu Shiqing took it down and took a look. It was true. Her face turned dark and a little scary.

Zhou Fang snatched it directly from Xu Shiqing's hand and said to Xu Nanzhi, "Zizi, I'll put this away for you first and give it to you after I clean it. After all, it's stained with dirt and needs to be cleaned thoroughly."

After hearing this, Xu Shiqing's face turned even darker, and she looked at Yao Lihua with some resentment.

Finally, it was Old Master Xu who couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Okay, Nanzhi, don't go too far. Shiqing has been by my side for so many years. We are cousins. It's just a necklace, nothing special."

Xu Nanzhi glanced at the old man and said, "Grandpa, you know I'm a germaphobe. There are some things you can tolerate, but I can't."

Having said this, seeing that the old man's expression was getting worse, Xu Nanzhi changed the subject: "Today is your birthday, and I have prepared a gift for you."

As she spoke, Xu Nanzhi took out a fist-sized box from her handbag.

As soon as he took it out, Yao Lihua mocked him and said, "This gift is too small. I don't think you put any effort into preparing it."

Glancing at her, Xu Nanzhi opened the box directly, revealing a translucent jade ring. "Grandpa, I know you like this. I bought it for you at a prestigious auction abroad before I came back. It's a birthday present for you today."

These words were simply a slap in Yao Lihua's face. Xu Kui felt that she had lost face and glared at her fiercely.

But the surrounding discussions were indeed one after another: "Oh my God, the Xu family has such a big melon, I really didn't know it before."

"You don't know? This matter actually caused quite a stir before this year, but it's been gradually covered up in the past two years."

"Hey, look at the orange color of that jade ring. You can tell it's worth a lot of money."

Yeah yeah.

"Hey, look at this Miss Xu Nanzhi. Does she look familiar? She reminds me of Young Master Wen's female companion at the auction a few days ago."

He said as if he knew the inside story: "I know. No wonder Young Master Wen suddenly brought a female companion to attend. This is simply a powerful combination. I'm afraid no one would have thought that the girl who went abroad would make a strong comeback a few years later."
