Su Yiqing came to her grandmother's side and helped her up. "Grandma, no matter if Mom is your biological daughter or not, you are Mom's only biological mother and our only biological grandmother."
The other brothers of the Su family also gathered around their grandmother.
Grandma glanced at them and forced a smile. "Grandma's fine, I was just thinking about your mother..."
When my mother passed away, my maternal grandparents, who were both elderly, were devastated to lose their child and were unable to cope with the loss for a long time.
My maternal grandmother, in particular, later developed mild depression due to missing my mother. That's why my uncle decided to take her abroad to avoid reminding them of her.
Even abroad, my grandmother would still lose her appetite and drink no food on her mother's birthday and death anniversary every year.
Even after my mother left, my grandmother began to eat vegetarian food on the first and fifteenth of each lunar month without fail, just to accumulate good karma for my mother.
After instructing his brothers to take good care of their grandmother, Su Yiqing turned his gaze to Xia Lanjiao.
Just then, Xia Yumeng's phone rang.
When she saw the caller ID, her face turned pale. She hesitated for a long time before answering the phone.
“Hello, Dad…” He had only just begun to speak.
Then came Xia Pei's furious roar, "Xia Yumeng, who the hell told you to let your grandma out?"
During this time, after imprisoning Xia Lanjiao, Xia Pei finally tasted what it was like to be in charge, and his confidence swelled up. He was no longer the Xia Pei who would only cower in front of Xia Lanjiao.
"Dad, don't be angry, I..."
Before she could finish speaking, she heard other people's voices on the other end of the phone, "President, all our suppliers have come to collect their debts and are threatening to stop supplying goods until we get the money!"
Another voice said, "President, several of our orders have reached their delivery dates. The other party verbally agreed to give us half a month's grace, but now they all want the goods."
If we can't deliver the goods, we'll have to pay a huge penalty!
The Xia family manufactures clothing. The source of raw materials such as cotton and the orders for their finished garments are the foundation of the company's survival. Now that both ends are being cut off, the Xia family is in grave danger!
Xia Yumeng subconsciously looked at Su Yiqing. The man was handsome, tall, and refined. Not long ago, her heart had been pounding because of his approach, but now she only felt a chill down her spine!
The man stood there calmly, watching her and her grandmother's farce like a clown, even allowing his sister to humiliate them like toys, while unknowingly delivering a fatal blow from behind.
The Xia family is the foundation of their livelihood. If the Xia family is destroyed, their entire family will be ruined!
Although she suddenly realized the truth, she had no idea what to do.
The only solution she could think of was to put down her phone, walk up to Su Yiqing, and kneel down with a thud. "Mr. Su, we were wrong. Please, forgive us one more time."
I promise that my whole family will stay out of your sight from now on and will never get in your way again!
She stopped calling him "cousin" and spoke earnestly.
Xia Lanjiao, who was still feeling smug, was furious when she saw Xia Yumeng's sudden action. She reached out to lift Xia Yumeng up and said, "Mengmeng, have some backbone! Why are you kneeling to him?"
Xia Yumeng turned around and yelled at Xia Lanjiao, "Grandma, stop causing trouble! The Xia family is doomed..."
Xia Lanjiao was struck dumb, frozen in disbelief, and stammered, "No... impossible! How could the Xia family's century-old foundation just vanish like that?"
Xia Yumeng completely ignored her and knelt down, crying and begging Su Yiqing, "Mr. Su, we were wrong. We will never have any more unrealistic fantasies."
"Please, please, for your aunt's sake, don't ruin the Xia family business, okay?"
While she was still weeping bitterly, Xia Pei had already arrived.
Although he had always been suppressed by Xia Lanjiao, he wasn't stupid. When the supplier and the partner suddenly blocked him from both sides, he learned from the housekeeper that the old lady in the family had gone out with Xia Yumeng.
He immediately realized that it was his good-for-nothing mother and daughter who had come to the Su family to cause trouble again, angering Su Yiqing.
When Xia Pei saw Xia Yumeng kneeling on the ground, he didn't bother to scold her anymore. He quickly walked over and said, "Nephew, I'm really sorry for today. I didn't take good care of the old lady at home. Don't worry, I promise this will never happen again."
At the same time, he handed over a document, saying, "Nephew, this is a gift I prepared for your aunt: fifty percent of the Xia family's shares. This originally belonged to your aunt, so please don't refuse."
Xia Lanjiao was about to explode when she heard his words, but Feng Qiao and two servants dragged her back to the car, not giving her a chance to grumble anymore.
Su Yiqing frowned as she looked at the equity transfer document in Xia Pei's hand.
To be honest, he wouldn't even look at a small company like the Xia family, let alone 50% of the shares. Even if he were given all of them, he wouldn't be interested. Xia Pei only offered him 50% of the shares, which was clearly an attempt to tie him down and prevent him from targeting the Xia family again in the future.
Xia Pei was right; this should have been Grandma's property, and he had no right to make decisions for her!
Su Ziyuan and Su Yifan had already helped their grandmother over, and she took the equity agreement from Xia Pei's hands.
In front of Xia Pei, he tore it to shreds and threw a handful of the shards at Xia Pei, saying, "Get lost! I didn't care about these things decades ago, and I care even less now!"
Xia Pei smiled obsequiously and said, "Auntie, please don't say that. Although the Su family's nephews are capable, they are still just your grandsons after all."
Even if you're tough, you should at least consider my nephew from the Xiao family.
The eldest nephew of the Xiao family opened a small studio and designed and made some handicrafts. Is this something a grown man should do?
My second nephew is the same. Since he studied medicine, he can't just run his own small clinic for the rest of his life. I have some connections with the director of a hospital in Beijing. How about I take my second nephew to dinner with him sometime and try to find him a job at the hospital?
And then there's my third nephew. He's a non-commissioned officer in the army, and he'll have to leave the military sooner or later. He can't just come back and eat for free at my nephew's place, can he?
My fourth nephew is a pilot. It sounds impressive, but how much money can he actually make?
Not to mention my fifth nephew, these days, those beggars under the overpass who set up bowls to beg for food, which one of them doesn't earn more money than the painter?
My sixth nephew can make money as a contractor, but his reputation... it's not exactly flattering!
“Aunt, you are rightfully entitled to 50% of the Xia family’s shares. Just take them. Even if you don’t think about yourself, you should at least think about your nephews in the Xiao family, right?”
Xia Pei spoke earnestly, his tone seemingly concerned for the Xiao family, but to the Su family members…
