Chapter 68 Attending the Banquet
Xu Qingmin ignored his mother's words and took Song Yilin into Song Yilin's office, carefully examining the areas on Song Yilin's face where she had been slapped.
Actually, Xu Ming didn't hit her hard, because Xu Ming is a tea person, but she was also afraid of her son and didn't dare to really kill Song Yilin. Song Yilin never really understood people like Xu Ming, who had everything but wanted to control everything.
I saw Xu Ming today, and she seemed even crazier than before. Could Xu Yijing really be Old Master Xu's illegitimate son?
If so, she is also a pitiful woman, but since Xu Qingmin doesn't say anything, she can't ask.
Xu Ming angrily followed Song Yilin into her office: "Xu Qingmin, your uncle has dedicated his life to the Xu Group, and you're just going to discard him like this? If you don't release your uncle, then give me my shares in cash, and I'll withdraw from the Xu Group."
Xu Qingmin didn't look at Xu Ming, and said indifferently, "Okay."
"Xu Qingmin, you think you're all grown up now? That's your uncle, blood is thicker than water."
"Yes, I don't deny that he is my uncle, but he has not contributed anything to the Xu family over the years. He is just a parasite who tries every means to move money from the Xu family to the casino. You have gone to Macau to bail him out several times. He is the purchasing manager of the Xu Group, with an annual salary of over one million, but he is heavily in debt for gambling. I have already treated him well enough, but he is never satisfied. It's good to let him go in, then his creditors will not be able to find him."
When Xu Ming realized she couldn't persuade Xu Qingmin, she got so angry that she smashed things in Song Yilin's office.
Xu Qingmin immediately called the security guards and signaled them to take Xu Ming away.
Xu Ming looked at Xu Qingmin in disbelief: "Xu Qingmin, you actually called security to chase your own mother away? You unfilial son, I would have rather given birth to a piece of barbecued pork than to you."
Xu Qingmin remained unmoved.
Xu Ming cursed all the way from Song Yilin's office to the outside of the Xu Group Building, completely disregarding her image as a wealthy lady.
After this incident, those who were watching whether Song Yilin would be able to marry into the Xu family stopped watching. Song Yilin would not marry into the Xu family, but would instead establish her own household.
Those more interested in Song Yilin are curious about how a widow could win over a powerful man.
Xu Ming ruined her position in the Xu Group by throwing a tantrum, but she probably didn't care. She was betting that her son wouldn't embarrass her. She used her shares in the Xu Group to protect her brother and wanted everyone to see that she, as the mother-in-law, didn't like Song Yilin.
But she never expected that her son wouldn't give her any face at all.
What Xu Ming feared most was about to happen.
Song Yilin watched Xu Ming being taken away through the floor-to-ceiling window, secretly feeling a sense of satisfaction.
However, Song Yilin also had some concerns: "Xu Qingmin, aren't you afraid that people will say you're heartless and unfilial for treating your mother like this?"
“My mother has had a tough time these past few years, but that’s no excuse for her to go crazy. Her reach is getting longer and longer; it’s time to teach her a lesson. I’m sorry you’ve suffered this injustice. If my mother really doesn’t want her shares, I’ll transfer them to you.”
Song Yilin froze on the spot.
She didn't want shares in the Xu Group.
"I don't need it."
“The shares my mother owns were a dowry that my grandfather gave to the wife of the head of the Xu Group. My grandfather also stipulated that if there is a new head, the shares should be transferred to the new head’s wife. However, I don’t think my mother would be willing to give them up herself. So I used my own money to buy the shares and give them to you as a dowry. Do you think this dowry is acceptable?”
Song Yilin was speechless; the gift was too precious for her to bear.
“Xu Qingmin, I really don’t want it. You can keep it for your mother or keep it to yourself. Don’t love me so much, don’t love me too much, it will burden me.”
Xu Qingmin looked at Song Yilin with a clouded gaze, a hint of sadness flashing across his face.
“It’s not that you’re burdened, it’s that you feel you can’t give me a response. I don’t need your response. My efforts are my own choice, and have nothing to do with you. I don’t expect any response from you. Just don’t leave me.”
Song Yilin was worried about his health. He had given everything for her. If something happened between them, Xu Qingmin would be unable to withstand the blow again, and even locking the windows of the Xu Group building would be useless.
"Your mother owns a significant share. Do you have enough liquid funds to repurchase it?"
"I'll just mortgage some of my property."
Xu Ming's shareholding is very small, but the Xu Group is too big. Even 0.001% of the shares would be a huge amount of cash.
Song Yilin was silently calculating the amount of money.
Xu Qingmin rubbed her head and said, "You don't need to calculate so much. It has always been my wish to kick my mother out of the shareholders' meeting. She doesn't understand many things, but she is very conservative. She doesn't want to do this or that. She just wants to live a peaceful life. I don't want her to interfere."
"Wouldn't it be better if you took it back?"
“No, if I ever have any problems, this is a gift for marriage, this is a dowry, at least your life will be fine.”
Song Yilin immediately spat.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Let me emphasize again, either don't repurchase, or you hold onto it yourself, I don't want it."
She didn't want to get involved in the messy competition within the Xu family.
"Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go to a banquet together tonight. It's just the three of us. My mother made such a fuss today, and it should have spread all over Jianghai City. If we appear together, it will be a good way to announce to the world that we are a good family."
"Are you really willing to let Bai Guanqun be known as your daughter?"
"What are you saying? From the moment I decided to marry you, your daughter became my daughter. If I didn't want to, I wouldn't be with you."
Song Yilin's eyes were a little moist. She got up and kissed Xu Qingmin's lips.
Xu Qingmin tasted the delicious food for a while and then let her go.
"Your body hasn't recovered yet, don't look at me like that, I can't control myself."
Song Yilin immediately looked away and took a sip of water to cover up her embarrassment.
"I need to go to Binzhou tomorrow, so we need to go to the banquet early and come back early. Guanqun is in the development stage, so he should go to bed early."
"good."
The meeting, which had just been interrupted by Xu Ming, was reconvened by Song Yilin. After the meeting, Song Yilin and Xu Qingmin went directly to the hotel to pick up Bai Guanqun.
The makeup artist had already done Bai Guanqun's makeup in advance.
When Song Yilin arrived, she only saw Bai Guanqun's back.
It gives you the feeling of a young woman from the Bai family coming of age.
However, the more Song Yilin looked at Bai Guanqun's back, the more he seemed to resemble Xu Qingmin, but she felt he looked more like Xu Qingmin's older sister. She had met him in high school, and it felt like the two backs overlapped.
Song Yilin suppressed those inappropriate thoughts.
She took Bai Guanqun to the banquet; today's event required her to be fully focused.
She knew that Xu Ming would be there too. Xu Ming was an old hand at these kinds of banquets, and she needed to stay rational at all times to protect her child.
