“…There’s nothing we can do, the audience loves to watch.” Shi Xi urged, “Tell us quickly, why did they fight?”
Xie Yunzhou stretched and said, "I forgot, it's been too long."
"Have you really forgotten? Or are you afraid I'll get angry?" Shi Xi narrowed her eyes.
"I really forgot," Xie Yunzhou said. "My friend isn't Shi Xu either, we just had a fight once."
Shi Xi blinked. "So who is your friend? Do you still keep in touch? Do I know them?"
Xie Yunzhou: "Later, I went abroad to study and lost contact with my friends in China."
Shi Xi: ...What a boring life.
"And you? How did you spend your childhood?" Xie Yunzhou asked her.
Shi Xi propped her chin on her hand and said, "I'm so happy. I've been pampered by my parents and brother since I was born."
I was always the school beauty and a top student after I started school. Every teacher who taught me liked me.
I received an average of three love letters every week, and the number of male classmates who fought for me could circle the entire playground.
Xie Yunzhou couldn't stand it anymore. "I'll go get a bottle of beer."
Shi Xi stood up: "I'll go with you."
She was still a little afraid of being here alone.

The next day.
A series of noises came from downstairs, waking Shi Xi up.
I sat up in bed.
Shi Xi: When did she fall asleep in bed?
All I remember is that she kept vigil with Xie Yunzhou, and because she was so tired, she leaned on Xie Yunzhou's shoulder to rest for a while.
Did he actually fall asleep?
Shi Xi finished washing up and changed her clothes before coming out.
She opened the door and heard a commotion in the living room downstairs:
"Yunzhou, let me speak the truth—"
And then not a single fair word was spoken.
A group of relatives, who appeared out of nowhere, came downstairs looking for shares in Xie Yunzhou's branch company.
They keep talking about "filial piety" and "fairness".
But their words implied that they wanted money, shares, and real estate from Xie Yunzhou.
Xie Yunzhou remained silent.
Xie Chongshan, however, put on a magnanimous act, saying, "I've made the decision for Yunzhou: the company still belongs to Yunzhou, but everyone will have shares!"
Zheng Lanfeng: "Dong'er's shares will be temporarily registered in my name."
The others chimed in, each wanting a larger share of the inheritance:
"Too much money has been donated; it would be better to distribute it to our relatives. Yunzhou, go find that lawyer and get that money back."
"That's right! 1.6 billion! Let's divide it among our extended family. And everyone should get a house too!"
"We've made so many contributions to the Xie Group, we can't just leave without getting anything in return, can we?"
Everyone was talking at once, and every single word they uttered was about money.
Zheng Fenglan felt that too much money had been distributed, and said, "The money that should be distributed to everyone will definitely be given. But Dong'er is the biological son, so this inheritance should be inherited by Dong'er, and everyone should help supervise it."
“Ah, right, right, Xie Er is the real Xie family member! Yunzhou, take out that 1.6 billion and the shares, and we'll distribute them ourselves,” the second grandfather said.
Shi Xi heard everything clearly from upstairs and thought these people were incredibly shameless.
How could anyone say something like that?!
Xie Yunzhou did all the work.
But all the money belongs to them.
Do they think Xie Yunzhou is a fool?
Shi Xi was filled with righteous indignation and was about to go down and fight them when she heard Xie Yunzhou speak.
Xie Yunzhou: "Are you all done talking?"
The living room fell silent instantly.
My second grandfather, thick-skinned as ever, said: "That's about it. If there's anything else I need to add, I'll let you know."
Xie Yunzhou: "Oh, you've finished speaking, please go back now. All matters concerning the distribution of the estate will be handled in accordance with Grandpa's will."
