Xia Pei glanced back with lingering fear at the three large dogs that had been lying comfortably on the carpet, which immediately raised their heads and bared their teeth.
Xia Pei trembled in fright and quickly moved closer to Xiao Shijie with small, quick steps.
Then, with a fawning smile, he said, "Cousin, I was blind before and underestimated my nephews."
This time, I've come specifically to apologize.
Feng Qiao, who was standing next to him, immediately came forward with a large pile of gift boxes. "Cousin, look, these are all gifts we carefully prepared for our nephews."
This is a model of an architecture for my sixth nephew, and this is a model of an airplane for my fourth nephew.
And this painting is for my fifth nephew. It's a work by a great painter who's considered a contemporary Van Gogh. I'm sure you'll like it, fifth nephew.
"And this century-old ginseng and large Ganoderma lucidum are for my second nephew. He runs a clinic, right? They might come in handy if he encounters a critically ill patient someday."
Other things are nothing special.
But that painting...
All eyes turned to it. Xiao Jue glanced at it and his eyes widened. "Is this a painting by a contemporary Van Gogh?"
Feng Qian suddenly felt a little proud. After all, although the painter was still alive, his output was extremely low, and now his paintings were only given away and not sold, so even if you had money, you couldn't buy them.
"Yes, these paintings by artists are very valuable. Just one of them can cost tens of millions. My fifth nephew is also an artist, so he must know about them, right?"
Before Xiao Qi could even speak, Su Xixi's eyes widened in shock. She tilted her head up and asked Feng Qiao, "Is this painting really worth ten million?"
"Of course!" Feng Qiao became even more proud. "And it's something that money can't buy."
Susie suddenly took off running upstairs.
Xiao Jue's eyes darted around, and he followed her upstairs.
The others watched their reaction with bewilderment.
Xiao Shijie asked Xiao Ruanruan with a puzzled look, "Where are those two going?"
Xiao Ruanruan put a hand to her forehead and said helplessly, "He probably went to Fifth Cousin's room to rummage through the trash can."
Xiao Genggeng added, "Madam, this painting that cost tens of millions was a piece that Fifth Brother ruined and threw away a while ago. I don't know who rummaged through our trash cans and took it out to sell for money."
Xia Pei & Feng Qiao: "..."
Their faces, which had been so proud just moments before, were now twitching with embarrassment.
Especially Feng Qiao, who was still holding the painting in her hand, was now in a dilemma—whether to accept it or not.
In the end, Xia Pei, being the thick-skinned one, took the painting from Feng Qiao's hand, put it away, and said with a forced smile, "So, my fifth nephew is the famous Rotten Wood!"
"Hey cousin, look, my nephew is just too low-key. He's so talented, but he doesn't show off at all, making me, his uncle, worry about him all the time."
The way he said that made it sound like he had a very good relationship with the Xiao family!
Feng Qiao also shamelessly handed the box containing wild ginseng and large lingzhi mushrooms to Xiao Yiyi. However, this time, her attitude was even more humble than before. "Second nephew, look at these wild ginseng and large lingzhi mushrooms. They were given to you by the old man of the Chen family for your great-aunt's birthday. He said they were very rare. See if you can use them."
Xiao Yiyi raised his eyelids slightly, and Shi Yu, who was next to him, said first: "Second Brother Xiao, isn't this the radish you used to give me?"
Is it that rare?
That's a lot...
Feng Qiao's eyelid twitched; she felt like crying.
The things they brought out as gifts were the result of much internal struggle, but in the eyes of the Xiao family, they were either trash to be thrown away or as common as radishes and cabbages. How could they possibly continue the discussion under such circumstances?
Fang Ning sat on the sofa, arms crossed, legs crossed, swinging his legs like a boss, and said leisurely, "We don't accept junk. Take your trash away now, or I'll unleash the dogs to chase you away!"
The three large dogs that were resting to one side immediately stood up and stood ready.
Xia Pei and Feng Qiao subconsciously moved a little closer, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
But now, Xia Pei was desperate. He knelt down in front of Xiao Shijie and cried, "Cousin, I know that my grandmother and my two ignorant daughters have caused your family a lot of trouble and made you very angry."
"But no matter what, we share a quarter of the same blood; we're family, blood is thicker than water. You also have half of the Xia family blood in your veins. Can you really bear to watch the Xia family's century-old legacy crumble?"
“I know that my mother and grandmother wronged my aunt back then. I am now willing to return everything that belongs to my aunt to her. I would even give up my position as the chairman of Xia's Group. I only ask to save Xia's Group!”
He cried and recounted the story, tears streaming down his face.
When Feng Qiao heard that he wanted to give up his position as chairman, she looked at him in shock, but ultimately remained silent.
As long as the Xia family still exists, it doesn't matter if the chairman's position is temporarily lost.
Xiao Shijie remained silent, but Xia Pei gritted his teeth and continued, "I can give 70% of Xia's shares to my aunt!"
His words startled Xiao Shijie and Su Yiqing. Xia Pei was much more generous than the old lady of the Xia family.
Xia Pei had been living by observing Xia Lanjiao's expressions for many years. He might not have any other skills, but he was very good at reading people. As soon as he saw Xiao Shijie and Su Yiqing's reactions, he knew that they had softened their stance.
