Seeing Xu's mother's predicament, Xu Keke raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong? Is your family struggling so much that you can't afford to eat? You still live in such a big house, don't you? Are you more pitiful than those orphans without parents?"
“Coco,” Xu’s mother looked at her almost pleadingly. “Can we talk about this again in a few days? When you’re feeling better.”
Xu Keke didn't grow up with her mother. But every year, her grandfather would arrange for her to meet her parents. Each time they parted, Xu's mother would look at the bodyguards who were taking her away. Her eyes pleaded with them to let her stay with her a little longer, even if it was just for a short while.
So, as long as her mother looked at her like that after she grew up, Xu Keke would give in to her every whim. She would grant all of her mother's requests.
This time, Xu Keke is going to disappoint her.
Xu Keke looked at Zhou Heng, "I remember this house is registered in my name."
"Yes, when your grandfather passed away, he left you all the properties under his name, as well as a quarter of the control of the space station."
Xu Keke raised an eyebrow. "Isn't Xu Guoqiang the head of the Xu family?"
Not only did Xu Keke raise questions, but countless shocked emojis also popped up in the silent bullet comments.
The space station was built jointly by the four major families. As more space stations were built and the influx of extraterrestrial population increased, the four families sold off all the land they owned. The so-called control was based on an agreement reached when the four families relinquished the space station: they had veto power over all decisions regarding the space station.
According to the rules passed down from their ancestors, whoever inherits control is considered the head of the family.
When her grandfather died, she was away training. Her personal assistant attended the inheritance distribution ceremony on her behalf. Afterwards, she told herself that she only received some real estate. That's why she never inquired about it again.
“After you were injured, when we were tallying your assets, I discovered the original estate division agreement. I think you shouldn’t have known about it.”
Zhou Heng looked at her calmly, his face expressionless.
He was brought back from another space station during his own mission. There was nowhere to put him at the time, and his former assistant had just resigned.
There must have been something wrong with the previous assistant. Xu Keke sized up Zhou Heng for a long time, then remained silent for a long time before saying, "Kick everyone out. Check when the Tianyan live broadcast ends."
Xu's parents wanted to say something more to Xu Keke, but Zhang Man considerately stopped them, "Auntie, Uncle, why don't you come and stay with us for a few days and let your cousin rest?"
The four of them quickly exchanged glances. With the live stream running, they could see everything Xu Keke did even if they left. They, on the other hand, needed to find a secluded place to discuss their plan.
They had all reached the door when Xu Keke suddenly spoke up, "Huang Pinjia, I haven't wished you a happy marriage yet. I'll give you a wedding gift another day."
Huang Pinjia paused for a moment, but only paused, without lingering for long.
