She originally thought that Anjia would be her safe haven, but Anjia only brought her storms and harm, and may even become a burden to her.
In other families, a good family background might be a great asset.
But the other party is Gu Jia, whose threshold is too high. A hundred Anjia members wouldn't be worth a single finger of theirs, so where would they get any help?
Not only are they completely unhelpful, they might even cause trouble for others, requiring them to help and take care of others.
"Forget it, I can't control them now anyway, and whatever happens in the future, I don't want to care anymore."
Grandpa An had a vague feeling that the family reunion banquet would be the An family's last chance.
If his disobedient son and daughter-in-law had taken his words to heart and carried them out honestly, perhaps things could have turned around.
But if something else happens... Chu Xia might not return to the An family.
However, even though I said I didn't want to care anymore.
During dinner that evening, Grandpa An still couldn't help feeling heartbroken and sad.
In the end, the matter of the family reunion banquet was brought up again.
Forgive him for being a little selfish; after all, no matter how much of a scoundrel he is, he's still his own son. It's just that he feels a bit sorry for Chu Xia.
If he's resorting to this tactic and his son and daughter-in-law still can't take this matter seriously, then he'll accept it. He can only accept that Xia Yatou was never meant to be with the An family back then, and whatever wealth and status Xia Yatou may attain in the future, they won't interfere.
"I won't say anything else. I only have one thing to say: if you manage to hold a successful family reunion banquet for Chuxia, I will give you all the shares under my name. If you fail to do so, then don't call me Dad anymore, and you can forget about the shares I hold."
Grandpa An immediately dropped the threat.
He felt that although his son was not very reliable in other matters, he was still filial.
He's made himself so clear, and he's even used company shares as an incentive; they should be able to listen to him.
However, he didn't know that Xie Jinya and An Guosheng, who had just agreed to his terms, had their expressions darken as soon as they left his place.
Xie Jinya was so angry that she couldn't maintain her composure. "I don't know what kind of bewitching drug that bitch gave your father, that he's actually willing to give up on you, his own son, for her sake!"
However, neither of them knew that it was precisely because he still wanted him as his biological son that Old Master An was trying to force them.
An Guosheng hadn't expected his father to threaten him like that, and he felt quite upset, but he still said, "Alright, instead of thinking about these things, let's go back and handle this matter properly!"
An Mingzhu, who was standing to the side, blinked and stepped forward to comfort them. Then, seemingly casually, she mentioned, "I overheard Uncle Hai mentioning that Chuxia came to see Grandpa today! It's all my fault. I failed to bring Chuxia home before, which may have caused Grandpa to misunderstand."
"How can this be your fault? You kindly went to invite that wretched girl back, and not only did she refuse to come back with you, but she also deliberately gossiped to your grandfather, making your father and me look bad in the eyes of everyone. We must have owed her something in our past lives..."
Previously, An Mingzhu's expression was not good when she got home after being bullied by Lin Chuxia at school.
Her explanation was that she had originally planned to have Lin Chuxia go home with her for the holiday, but Lin Chuxia not only refused, but also humiliated her severely along with outsiders.
Upon hearing this, Xie Jinya immediately exploded. She berated Lin Chuxia mercilessly and declared that she'd better stay away from home for the rest of her life and never come back!
