Nan Lichuan didn't respond to his mother's words because after what she had done, he would never believe anything she said again.
He picked up a cell phone from his bag. The contacts included people they had been in constant one-way communication with. He thought his mother would really like this 'surprise'.
“Mother, before you say those things, have you considered what might happen next? Perhaps you really want to know the answer to this phone call?”
Nan Lichuan pressed the dial button on the phone with his slender hand, and sure enough, the voice coming from the other end surprised the woman.
"How did you get our people's phone numbers? Where did you get them from?"
He brandished his phone and said coldly, "I don't think this is the time for you to worry about that. I think you should be more concerned about what this call is about, right?"
The woman hesitated for a moment, glancing at Nan Lichuan, before taking the phone and asking the person inside, "What happened? How's it going on your end? Have you been discovered?"
The panicked sounds told the woman that something had gone wrong; her plan had been discovered. Her scheme to switch the baby was truly brilliant; she had kept it hidden for so many years without Nanshan finding out. Yet, it had been discovered by her own son!
The woman hung up the phone, turned to look at her son's face, and wondered what her good son was up to!
What do you want?
"Mother, don't be so strict. Don't you already know what I want to say? Or would it be better to ask it differently, like, 'What have you done to the Nan family's company?'"
His brother's wicked tone and fearless expression were exactly what Lin Xiao knew best; his brother was avenging him.
"Son, what did you say she did to the company?"
Nanshan was naturally quite anxious when he heard the sensitive words. He looked at his son's face and told him to continue saying that he didn't need to pay attention to that woman.
“Father, although your actions have left me feeling helpless, you haven’t done anything too wrong, so I don’t blame you for this. Your good wife, she went to great lengths to transfer your assets out of there.”
"I'm afraid you, as the chairman, are unaware of something like this, aren't you?"
Major decisions in the Nan Group have always been made through the board of directors, with his father being the top leader. However, his mother can control the entire company's fate.
They even transferred a portion of the company's funds to other names without anyone noticing, which is terrifying. Even Nanshan didn't know!
"What? You transferred the company's assets? Damn it, you actually stole my money. I thought you loved me as a person."
Nan's mother's eyes were somewhat cold. What did it mean to love him? When she wanted his comfort, he didn't help her at all; instead, he was still thinking about that other woman.
There might even be photos of her in their room. How could she possibly swallow this insult?
After becoming disheartened, she couldn't think of anything else besides money to make herself feel better!
"Hmph, Nanshan, it's pointless to be too explicit. You've always loved that woman and never thought of me, so why should I think of you?"
"So you're after my company and my money, is that it? I did want to be good to you in the first place, because Yaqin had advised me against it. But I never expected you..."
Nanshan lowered his eyes and sighed helplessly. He knew he had made many mistakes over the years. It seemed that the younger generation truly ruled now, and their generation's infighting was over. It was time for him to step down.
"Son, whatever you say goes. It's up to you."
Nan Lichuan curled his lips. Even without his father's consent, he had to do this. Only when Xiao Xiao was at ease could he feel at ease, because Xiao Xiao was his everything.
"Mother, I wonder if you've ever heard of the name Dark Domain? I'm sure you're quite familiar with it lately, right?"
As expected, when Nan's mother heard the name Dark Domain, her face turned dark, and she gritted her teeth in a very unpleasant way. Of course, she knew that this was the organization that had caused her company to plummet in value.
Nobody knows their background; all they know is that they are a company that specializes in taking orders. They can handle any order they want, which is terrifying!
"Why did you mention the Dark Domain? How do you know about these things?"
Lin Xiao, who hadn't spoken until now, interjected. He was a little annoyed that his brother was always paying attention to others, even though he had clearly said that he was the person he liked the most.
"Of course, that's because I created this organization from scratch. My brother was just helping out. I was a little resentful at the time because he was always doing things for me, and I never had a chance to do anything!"
Lin Xiao pouted in dissatisfaction and complained about his brother's behavior. He said his brother was really bad, not letting him do anything, even though it was the brother who founded the company.
"Brother, you mustn't control my actions next time, or I'll get really bored. It's so embarrassing for a dignified CEO to be disciplined by my brother."
The couple's affectionate demeanor left Nanshan somewhat dumbfounded. He hadn't expected his eldest son to listen to his younger son so much, except for certain matters.
Nan Lichuan smiled and patted Lin Xiao's head. He wouldn't get angry when facing a young man because he felt it was unnecessary. Getting angry at someone you like is ungentlemanly.
"Okay, how about I be your assistant next time? Our Xiao Xiao will be the one in charge."
[Ding! The romanceable character Nan Lichuan has gained +95 favorability.]
Lin Xiao still felt a little uneasy. "Hey, hey, hey, this is too much to talk about right now. Why are you talking about being in heat? Brother, don't you know the time is right? Didn't you see how Dad's face changed?"
Although the remaining 5 points of favorability are easy to obtain, that's not what he's thinking about. What he's really thinking about is whether this world will end badly or happily. He still hopes it will end happily, because he never experienced family affection in his previous life.
Nanshan, his father, gave him the family affection he wanted most. For that reason, they would help Nanshan, because at least he treated him well.
"Brother, let's not talk about these trivial things now. Didn't you see how Dad's face changed? Honestly, you're still so blunt and don't know when to speak."
"Who doesn't consider the occasion when they act? Xiao Xiao, what are you saying? How would I know?"
The sudden appearance of a woman's voice startled Lin Xiao. What was going on? Why was Lin Yaqin here? Shouldn't she be at home?
