"Of course I hope she gets better." Wang Peng finished feeding her the last spoonful of chicken soup and wiped Li Guifen's mouth.
"Brother, you go back first, I'll give her a bath," Wang Xia said.
"Can you manage on your own?" Wang Peng looked at Li Guifen and couldn't help but sigh softly.
Wang Xia nodded and helped Li Guifen to the bathroom. Li Guifen was very cooperative, neither crying nor making a fuss, like a puppet on a string.
Wang Peng was still worried, so he sat on the sofa and waited. After a long time, Wang Xia helped Li Guifen out.
He hurried over and, together with Wang Xia, helped her into the bedroom.
"Mom, take your medicine." Wang Xia poured a glass of syrup and carefully fed it to her.
She was very cooperative, taking the medicine when told to and raising her arm when told to.
After she fell asleep, Wang Xia said softly, "Big brother, it seems like we've never had a drink together since we were little?"
Wang Peng paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "I'm not leaving today, shall we have a drink, brother and sister?"
"Great!" Wang Xia was immediately excited and hurriedly went to get the red wine from the wine rack, and also prepared some desserts.
The brother and sister drank red wine and chatted about their childhood, and Wang Peng gradually became lost in his childhood memories.
When they were five or six years old, the brother and sister would go to the fields to pull weeds and to the hillside to herd sheep. Although they were sad at that time, they were very happy.
As Wang Peng grew older, he faced more and more troubles, until his family of origin began to break down after he graduated from junior high school.
"Big brother, if our family didn't have Wang Cheng, things would definitely be much better than they are now, right?" Wang Xia asked with a smile.
Wang Peng thought about it carefully and shook his head: "Who knows? There's no point in discussing this."
Wang Xia chuckled lightly: "Wang Cheng's girlfriend, Lucy, suddenly transferred her shares to Wang Cheng. Is this true love?"
"Lucy?" Wang Peng thought for a moment, realizing it had been a long time since he'd heard from her. "Isn't she settled in England?"
"I heard that's how it is," Wang Xia said. "Brother, I don't believe Lucy truly loves Wang Cheng. Someone like Wang Cheng doesn't deserve true love."
"Xiaoxia, let's not talk about others, let's talk about yourself," Wang Peng said. "You're not getting any younger, don't you have someone you like?"
Wang Xia was taken aback, her cheeks flushing slightly: "Big brother, why are you suddenly bringing this up? Did Dad nag you about it?"
At this point, she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "He seems to have gone crazy these past few days, always forcing me to go on blind dates and introducing me to promising young men."
Wang Peng smiled too. His third sister, Wang Xia, was recognized as one of the most outstanding women in the provincial capital.
She is the global vice president of James Bond Group, a shareholder of Brothers Supermarket, the younger sister of Wang Peng, the boss of the company, and most importantly, she is beautiful.
Many people introduced her to potential girlfriends, all of whom were highly educated and high-income men, but Wang Xia just wouldn't date.
"Xiaoxia, what kind of man do you like? Tell me," Wang Peng said with a smile.
Wang Xia took a sip of red wine, stared intently at Wang Peng, and suddenly chuckled: "Far away, yet right before my eyes."
"Goodness." Wang Peng scratched his head. "I'm talking to you seriously, don't joke around."
"Brother, I'm not joking." Wang Xia put down her wine glass and sighed softly, "My ideal partner is very simple, as long as he's half as good as you."
"You started from scratch and became a billionaire in just a few years."
"Brother, with you as my benchmark, how could I possibly look down on those ordinary people?"
After saying all that in one breath, Wang Xia revealed a proud look.
Wang Peng was somewhat amused and exasperated, shaking his head and saying, "You shouldn't be so ambitious. I'm a special case. If a guy started his business in his teens and became a multi-millionaire by the age of twenty-five or twenty-six—with a net worth of fifty million—would they even consider you?"
Wang Xia was stunned when she heard this.
She was able to become the global vice president of James Bond Group not because of her outstanding work ability, but because she is Wang Peng's sister.
She was able to acquire shares in Brothers Supermarket not because she had business acumen, but because she was Wang Peng's sister.
Without any blood ties with Wang Peng, she is at most a recent graduate working as a junior accountant, earning a few hundred yuan a month at a small company.
"Xiaoxia, life isn't about who has more money. Find a guy who's compatible with you and can provide you with emotional support, regardless of whether he's rich or not."
Wang Peng said with a smile, "There's a reason why your dad is pressuring you to go on blind dates. A woman's best years are only a few years long."
After hearing this, Wang Xia gave a wry smile, picked up her wine glass, and took a small sip of red wine.
After a long while, she shook her head: "Brother, you should have guessed it. Wang Cheng asked me to be his intermediary, begging you to spare his life."
Two hours earlier, when Wang Peng came here to deliver chicken soup, he guessed that Wang Cheng must have called Wang Xia to plead for him.
"Xiaoxia, do you think I should let him off the hook?" Wang Peng said with a faint smile.
Wang Xia was startled again and fell into deep thought. After a long while, she gently shook her head.
"Brother, I will no longer be involved in your affairs. Wang Cheng... He who does many unrighteous deeds will surely perish."
Wang Peng nodded and gave her a thumbs up: "That's right, there's no room for reconciliation in our relationship."
The brother and sister chatted for a few more minutes, then Wang Peng went to the bathroom to take a shower, went into the bedroom next to Li Guifen's, and lay down on the bed to sleep.
The next day, Du Lei arrived with bodyguards and went with Wang Peng to the Huihuang Supermarket No. 5 store.
The clearance sale is still ongoing, but the stock in the warehouse is dwindling, and fewer people are rushing to buy the goods.
Wang Peng walked from the first floor to the fifth floor and found that many shelves were empty.
"Brother Peng, we don't need so many staff right now. Should we lay off some?" Du Lei asked in a low voice.
"Let's wait a bit longer." Wang Peng shook his head and casually asked, "How much are Wang Cheng's shares worth now?"
"At most 1.5 million," Du Lei pressed. "Brother Peng, should we make a move?"
Wang Peng shook his head and sneered, "Wait a little longer, there's still room for it to drop."
"Haha..." Du Lei couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Brother Peng, Wang Cheng is probably going to vomit blood."
Three days later, the beverage section was emptied, and the entire fourth floor was closed.
Two days later, the 40% stake in Brilliant Supermarket that Wang Cheng held had fallen to one million yuan.
That night, Wang Peng came to Wang Xia's house again and fed Li Guifen chicken soup.
The brother and sister took care of Li Guifen together until she fell asleep in bed.
Wang Peng was about to go home when Wang Xia stopped him.
"Brother, I have something here that you might be interested in." Wang Xia opened the safe in the study and took out a file folder.
Wang Peng opened the bag, took out the documents, and his eyes widened in surprise.
It turned out to be a share transfer agreement. Wang Cheng transferred 40% of the shares of Huihuang Company to Wang Xia.
"Xiaoxia, what exactly does this mean?" Wang Peng waved the transfer agreement. "How much did you pay?"
