After hanging up the phone, Xie Jinya glanced at Lin Chuxia, who was still standing to the side. She lost her previous good temper and glared at her impatiently.
"Why aren't you getting back to your room yet? What bad luck!"
An Mingzhu's eyes flickered, and she stepped forward to grab her arm, asking with some concern, "Mom, what exactly did Grandpa say just now? Why were you so angry?"
"What else can I say? I don't know what kind of drug that brat gave your grandfather. No matter how I explain, your grandfather is determined to believe that I instigated or even threatened her."
"Well... Grandpa treats Chuxia really well. As soon as Chuxia came back, even Mingyu had to step aside. Maybe it's because Mingyu and I aren't very good at talking to Grandpa or pleasing him! We've known Grandpa for over ten years, and he's never been so affectionate towards us. But it's good that way. I'm really happy for Chuxia."
An Mingzhu sighed, then looked on with envy, her tone full of joy for Lin Chuxia.
“However…” An Mingzhu suddenly frowned again, looking puzzled and bewildered, “I feel that since Chuxia came back, Grandpa has become much colder towards Mingyu and me…”
As she spoke, she shook her head self-deprecatingly, "I must be overthinking it. Chu Xia couldn't possibly be that kind of person..."
However, Xie Jinya kept all these words in mind.
A sudden alarm bell rang in her mind, and she abruptly recalled the words Grandpa An had reprimanded her on the phone earlier—
“I don’t care about anything else, but what Mingzhu and Mingyu have, Chuxia should have too. If you parents can’t treat them equally, then I will give all my shares to Chuxia to make up for the deficiencies you’ve left behind.”
Xie Jinya's sleeve was almost torn.
She seemed furious, her whole body trembling: "That wretched girl, she dares to think like that, she dares to..."
"Huh? Mom, what are you saying?" An Mingzhu pretended not to hear Xie Jinya's mutterings and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Xie Jinya snapped out of her daze, her usual dignified elegance returning to her face: "It's nothing. I'm probably just too tired lately."
"Mom, please take good care of yourself. If you need anything, just ask Aunt Li to do it for you. If you overwork yourself, Mingyu and I will worry so much!"
"Don't worry, Mom's fine. Okay, you go have fun first, you don't need to stay with me all the time," Xie Jinya said with a smile.
"Okay, Mom, you should rest well. I'll go upstairs to see Chuxia and chat with her."
However, after An Mingzhu left, Xie Jinya's smile completely vanished.
"That Lin Chuxia, I really shouldn't have taken her back in the first place... I never expected her to have such a big appetite..."
Over the years, even she hadn't dared to covet the shares held by the old man, so how could Lin Chuxia dare? How could she dare?!
Although An Guosheng is now the main manager of Anjia Company, he does not own a large share of the company; the majority of the shares are held by the old man, Mr. An.
If the old man really transferred all his shares to Lin Chuxia, it would be almost equivalent to giving the entire company to Lin Chuxia.
Xie Jinya paced anxiously back and forth in the living room.
She knew it all along; that wretched girl was after the An family's money!
She refused the money they offered her before; it turns out she was just waiting for them to come here! With such a huge appetite, isn't she afraid of choking herself to death?!
After this, Xie Jinya felt even more resentful towards Lin Chuxia.
