Xia Linfan chuckled, "That's probably your greatest strength: you have a clear understanding of yourself."
However, have you considered that the company doesn't necessarily have to be inherited by my child? If you get married and have children early, your uncle can directly groom your children to inherit the company.
Xia Chu dropped the soup spoon into the bowl with a clatter, her eyes filled with disbelief. "Uncle, I'm only eighteen! Aren't you being a little too hasty? Waiting for me to have a baby is nowhere near as fast as you getting married and having children!"
Ning Yan: ...It's rare to find a wealthy family that keeps pushing the company around and refusing to take it over. This uncle and nephew are quite an oddball.
Xia Linfan glanced at his nephew indifferently and then stopped arguing with him, silently eating his meal.
Xia Chu thought he had finally won the argument with his uncle, and a smug smile never left his face.
Ning Yan was too busy enjoying the food to notice the silly boy.
His uncle has a million ways to get him married and have children as soon as possible, I don't know what he's so happy about.
After dinner, once Xia Linfan went upstairs, Xia Chu immediately told Ning Yan to go back to her room to change her clothes.
"Hurry up, Sister Yan, I'll take you racing tonight."
Ning Yan nodded, after all, she would definitely follow him whenever he went out.
The racetrack is located at Tianluo Mountain, which is the only suitable racetrack in E City.
At this moment, there were many people sitting in the stands, and many supercars were parked on the field. Girls dressed in revealing clothes stood with men in front of each supercar. The lights shone on the field, creating a dim yet dazzling light.
Soon she met an acquaintance, Fan Zhian, who had been sent to the countryside by his own father.
Tian Yanfeng whispered in Xia Chu's ear, "Fan Gou's dad cut off his allowance, so he's trying to make a quick buck with this race. I just asked Lao Huo, and he used all his savings to bet on Temures."
Temerle, an international racing driver, finished fourth in an F1 race.
This ranking seems a bit low, but that was his result last year. Tonight's match is just a casual game, and the participants are all rich kids. The two are not even in the same league, so the result is predictable.
"Who invited him?"
"I don't know. Shall I look it up?"
Xia Chu nodded.
The person who invited international racing drivers to participate in such a competitive race must have ulterior motives. It's best for them to stay out of the way and ignore their petty grudges.
Tian Yanfeng was very efficient; he quickly obtained a complete list of race car drivers.
"I heard that the person surnamed Te was invited by the Yu family."
Xia Chu glanced at it but couldn't see anything unusual.
But he just felt there was something fishy going on.
Ning Yan got back into the car, turned on her computer, and her fingers flew across the keyboard. She quickly found out all the information about the Yu family and Termre, and hacked into Termre's phone.
As expected, there are not so many coincidences in the world. The Yu family in E City actually has connections with the Wan family in the capital, and the Wan family is the Xia family's mortal enemy.
Everyone in the racing circle knows that Xia Chu loves racing, so this off-road race is a trap. The Xia family only has two heirs, and Xia Linfan is immune to women. If Xia Linfan is gone, the Xia family is finished.
Yes, this is the common thought of the Wan family, or rather, everyone who dislikes Xia Linfan.
Because of Xia Linfan's several questionable actions, rumors have been circulating in Beijing's high society that he is incapable.
After Ning Yan sent all the information she had found to Xia Linfan, she got out of the car and stopped Xia Chu, who was about to get in.
Knowing it's certain death, why rush forward? Isn't living better?
"Sister Yan, the competition starts in about ten minutes, stop fooling around."
Ning Yan didn't speak because Xia Linfan called.
Xia Chu was somewhat surprised to receive a call from his uncle at this time.
But he still pressed the answer button: "Be a good girl and listen to your sister Yan. You're not allowed to leave the field. You can play anytime you want, but not today."
The call ended immediately after I finished speaking.
Xia Chu was a bit wild, but he was the most obedient. His uncle had never forbidden him from racing before, but today his uncle called, and Sister Yan also tried to stop him. He made his decision almost instantly.
"Sister Yan, my stomach might hurt later."
Ning Yan: "..." Should I praise you for being in good pain?
"You can rest in the car for a while, and then you can feel the pain when you get off the car and the race starts."
Xia Chu's eyes lit up as he understood what Ning Yan and his uncle meant. He turned and dismissed the pretty young girl who was about to get into his car, saying, "You can go now. Let my sister Yan accompany me today."
The girl left reluctantly with a dark face, giving Ning Yan a fierce glare as she went.
Ning Yan: ……
Xia Chu opened the passenger door for Ning Yan.
Ning Yan got back into the car.
Xia Chu was very cautious. Once in the car, he stopped talking and only said that he would take Ning Yan out for a nice meal after finishing this run that night.
Tian Yanfeng even made a special trip to cheer Xia Chu on.
Xia Chu: Add a der, at most you can light a fire.
But he still couldn't resist bragging to Tian Yanfeng with the car door open, "Don't forget to bet on me to win. Today, I'm going to be the coolest guy in Tianluoshan."
Tian Yanfeng isn't stupid; he wouldn't bet on him to win if he knew he was going to lose.
"Fine, I'll bet this much on you to win!"
As he was saying this, he held up one finger, and Xia Chu slapped him on the head. "You're offering ten thousand just because I asked? Get lost! Save the ten thousand, I don't care."
Tian Yanfeng: "Was that ten thousand?"
"It's clearly one piece!"
Enraged, Xia Chu slapped him a few more times.
Soon the time was up, and Tian Yanfeng and the others left the starting point. With a whistle, the cars all shot off.
Only Xia Chu's top-of-the-line sports car, worth over 40 million, remained in place with the engine running.
A moment later, the passenger door opened, and Ning Yan ran to the left to open the door and help Xia Chu out of the car. The boy was hunched over, clutching his stomach, and kept saying "Ouch" as he walked. You have to admit, he acted quite convincingly.
Ning Yan helped him to the lounge, and Tian Yanfeng and the others followed, asking, "What happened to Xia Chu?"
"Sudden stomach pain."
"Shall we go straight to the hospital then?"
"A car has been sent from home to pick you up. Please go to the lounge and sit for a while."
Because of the off-road competition, the road was closed. Knowing that Xia Chu was safe, the people Xia Linfan sent did not force their way up the mountain.
So they waited until the race was over before coming up.
Xia Chu got into another car, which was thoroughly inspected by the bodyguards before being driven back.
It was almost 2 a.m. when I got home.
Xia Linfan was still awake. He called his nephew to the study and showed him the results of tonight's investigation.
"Your car was tampered with tonight, with the intention of causing your death in a crash."
Even if you change cars, there are two drivers in this race who have been bribed, and they can still achieve their goal by crashing you down the mountain.
Don't go out for the next few days, just stay home. I'll be too busy to take care of you.
Xia Chu pursed his lips, his usual playful smile completely gone. "Uncle, have I caused you any trouble?"
Xia Linfan paused, "I've taught you more than once not to take responsibility for things that don't concern you."
Having a sense of responsibility is a good thing, but it's unacceptable for someone like this kid to take on responsibility all the time.
This incident wasn't his fault at all; it's just that his surname is Xia.
