Chapter 290 The show begins!
Qin Lang certainly didn't know that after Ms. Chen learned the news from her grandson last night, she had already started to make arrangements. In addition to investigating who had tampered with the plane, she also planned how to take over the 20% stake in her husband's hands without bloodshed.
In fact, her parents-in-law had only passed away a few years ago. Ms. Chen had thought that given Xiahou Yi's health, he would probably die soon, so she had not thought about taking away the 20% of shares left to Xiahou Yi by her parents-in-law. After all, he could only divide the shares in his hands and had no way to give any orders to the company. These were all written in the contract.
But the problem is that Xiahou Yi has been so rude over the years. Even if he doesn't like his wife Chen Shan, it would be fine, but he doesn't like his outstanding sons Xiahou Lin and Xiahou Feng. What can we say?
Xiahou Yi also received an elite education, but ended up making his teachers so angry that they resigned without him learning anything. However, his son and daughter were different. Both Xiahou Lin and Xiahou Feng received elite education. Apart from their own interest in music, which they casually learned, all other subjects were languages, business, and other educational philosophies that cultivate elite talents.
This also led to the fact that Xiahou Yi disliked his son and daughter from a young age. When his son and daughter were five or six years old and could start a conversation in the languages of several countries, and his own father was speechless and unable to continue, he hated them even more.
He had a big argument with Ms. Chen about this matter, saying that children's childhood should be happy and not full of learning!
But Xiahou Yi had just finished speaking when Ms. Chen was dismissed by her parents, who were extremely pleased with their daughter-in-law and her education of their grandchildren. The most crucial thing was that Xiahou Yi had been secretly brainwashing and complaining to the children, yet Xiahou Lin and Xiahou Feng had unexpectedly shown a strong love for learning...
From then on, Xiahou Yi really disliked these two children. He felt that he was a playboy by nature and didn't have many demands on himself, but the children he gave birth to were all old-fashioned and not like him at all. What does it mean that the son is not like the father?
So over the years, after his father and mother passed away, Xiahou Yi held on to the 20% shares, some real estate and his own savings, and refused to give a cent to his son and daughter. Even when Xiahou Lin and Xiahou Feng got married, he, as a father, kept saying that he had no money and that everything was handled by Ms. Chen.
Chen Shan had no intention of getting rid of this unstable factor who held 20% of the shares of Xiahou Group. She just felt that she would definitely live longer than the other party.
But you never know when accidents and death will come. After the plane accident, Chen Shan decided to take out the shares in Xia Houyi's hands, leaving him with nothing.
Only in this way can the future of her son and grandson be stable, so that the Xiahou family managed by her son and grandson will not suffer turmoil after her death.
So when Xia Houxi came back that night and said that Grandpa had indeed mentioned that he wanted him to get engaged to Xia Anan, Chen Shan's lips curled up, knowing that this opportunity had come...
Xia Houlin had also returned from a business trip. When he heard that his father had done such a stupid thing again, his expression became complicated for a moment.
"Mom, how come Dad is still so careless even though he's like this?"
He would rather give 20% of Xiahou Group's shares to an outsider than worry that Xiahou Group will be in turmoil and end up with nothing.
And most importantly, Xiahou Yi never thought of giving these shares to his son Xiahou Lin.
"You should have known what kind of person your father was when you were little. He didn't like me and thought I was too domineering, but he never thought I was domineering when he asked me for money. Don't think I don't know. Ever since you took control of the company, your father has been getting 20 million from you every year, right? I told you before that you are not allowed to give him money."
...How did mom know about this?
Xiahou Lin felt a little embarrassed. After all, as a son, he also had his own children. His father was asking him for money eagerly, so he couldn't refuse, right?
The Xiahou family is not short of 20 million every year, so Xiahou Lin did not expect that his mother knew about these things.
"Mom, I promise, I won't do this again."
President Xiahou, who is omnipotent in the company, still has to bow down in front of his own mother.
"Okay, I'm not blaming you, but I'm telling you that tomorrow is the day for us to make our debut. Remember, you have to show your strong opposition to this matter and not allow Ah Xi and Xia An'an to be together, understand?"
Of course, Xia Houlin would never allow his son to be with Xia Anan. This Xia Anan could be anyone, even if her family was really poor, but she couldn't be the child of the woman his father had been in love with. That would be a complete mess!
By then, the entire City A will laugh at the Xiahou family.
"I know."
Xia Houxi was always silent when grandma was talking to dad.
"Also, I want to tell you something. Yao Ran is getting married to Ye You You. Ah Feng told me that it's already been confirmed, and the wedding will be held in three months. So we have to plan within three months. Within these three months, we have to get that old man to hand over his shares to Xia An An, no matter what method is used."
It is a sure thing to deceive that fool Xiahou Yi at this time. After all, there is no one around Xiahou Yi who can be used. Now he suddenly starts to "value feelings", so the chance of being deceived is one thousand percent.
"Grandma, I know. Miss Xia and I have already discussed it. Miss Xia will cooperate."
Xia Houxi nodded. When mentioning Xia Anan, he didn't expect that this girl who seemed to want to gain power at the beginning would choose to avenge her grandmother in the face of money and power.
After the family had discussed it, on the next day, Ms. Chen appeared in the ward wearing a dark blue suit, which immediately made the warm atmosphere in the ward silent and depressing.
Originally, Xiahou Yi was eating happily under the coaxing of Xia Anan, but then he saw his disliked wife coming with her disobedient son and disobedient grandson.
"Hmph! What are you doing here? To see if I'm dead?"
Xiahou Yi's words were harsh, but Xia Anan and Xiahou Xi lowered their heads immediately.
"Of course I came to see when you, Old Biden, would die. If it weren't for Ms. Chen, you'd be dead a long time ago, right? And you're still enjoying the splendor and wealth here, taking a three hundred thousand dollar special medicine just like that? Look at this gigolo's shamelessness, he's so shameless, even a machine gun wouldn't be able to penetrate it, right? A gigolo, a complete scumbag!!!"
Why does Butler Qin have so many curse words?
Even though Xia Anan and Xia Houxi had already gotten used to it, they would still laugh when they heard a new word occasionally.
That's true. Grandma is the one who takes care of the Xiahou family. For a moment, Xiahou Xi felt that what Butler Qin said about Grandpa being a gigolo seemed to be correct.
"What does your life or death have to do with me?"
Chen Shan had long been accustomed to her husband's sarcastic tone. There was no change on her face at this moment, and she still looked a little indifferent. The more she was like this, the more oppressive it became, so that even though Xiahou Yi was lying on the hospital bed, he felt a little suppressed.
"If I don't come over, are you going to find some random cat or dog on the street and say it's a good match for my Ah Xi? Is Ah Xi your grandson? Are you going to treat him like this?"
The performance officially began, and everyone present except Xia Houyi was an actor.
When Xia Anan heard the words kittens and puppies, she immediately looked at Xia Houyi pitifully with grievance.
Xiahou Yi was even more furious. When he was looked at like that, he immediately said.
"Who are you calling cats and dogs? What's wrong with me introducing An An and Ah Xi? An An is beautiful, and she and Ah Xi are the right age. I think they are suitable for marriage. I know you look down on An An for having nothing, but what do you think you had back then? Didn't you become Ms. Chen today only after you married into our Xiahou family and became my wife? Otherwise, who do you think would care about you?"
[Yo yo yo! Old Biden is getting anxious! Ms. Chen was already the general manager of a branch of the Xiahou family before she married you. You think it's all your fault? Old Biden went out and started his own business and lost 200 million in a year. Who was the idiot? Why do you think the Xiahou family found Ms. Chen for you? Aren't they afraid that after the other families formed an alliance, they'd just rely on you, a fool with water in your brain, and swallow you up?]
Qin Lang complained in his heart, thinking that men with weak abilities were indeed the best at finding women.
Of course, the Xiahou family had calculated to the extreme back then. They found Chen Shan, who was not only outstanding, but also had completely severed ties with her family. She gave birth to Xiahou Lin a year after marrying into the Xiahou family, and was completely tied to the Xiahou family.
But now there is a good ending after all.
Xia Houxi listened to Butler Qin complaining about what happened in the past, and he understood that according to his grandfather's carefree character, he probably married his daughter to him in order to take away the Xia Hou family's property.
"Well, I'm still the old lady of the Xiahou family. Everyone has to call me Ms. Chen when they see me, but what about this woman you found for Ah Xi? What can she do? Apart from serving you, I really don't see what's good about this woman."
Chen Shan ignored her husband's bringing up of old matters. Only useless people would keep bringing up old matters.
"An An is filial and caring. Do you think all women are as ambitious as her? I think Ah Xi is doing well at her job. We can just let An An marry into our family and become a young lady. Why would she need to work? Wouldn't it be nice for her to accompany us elders?"
[What the hell! Old Biden, how dare you say that? Wasn't he here to accompany you? What shameful and obscene thoughts are you thinking? Who takes advantage of someone the moment they see him? Now that you know she's the granddaughter of a woman you were in love with, doesn't it feel even more exciting? Are you planning to marry Xia Anan and have a grandpa-granddaughter relationship? That's too disgusting... Fortunately, Xia Anan did it for your money, otherwise it would have been a huge loss of her mental health.]
...Stop talking, Butler Qin, please stop talking, okay?
Xia Houxi and Xia Anan looked at each other helplessly. If they hadn't already reached an agreement, they would really think so, because Xia Houyi really has no bottom line! He is simply an idiot!
"Anyway, I don't agree. I won't agree to my grandson marrying such a woman."
Chen Shan expressed her disapproval, and Xia Houlin, as her son, also started performing at this time.
"Dad, stop being unreasonable. I won't allow Ah Xi to marry a woman who has nothing. Ah Xi's wife must be a well-matched daughter of a wealthy family. Only then can my wife and I feel at ease."
The more he said this, the more Xiahou Yi felt like he was going against the whole world for Xia Anan, and he immediately glared at his son angrily.
"Xia Houlin! Do you still see me as your father? If you do, you should listen to me. Have you ever heard of the sayings of parents and matchmakers? When did you become like your mother? You only care about money? Isn't the Xia Hou family rich enough? Why do you have to include Ah Xi's marriage in your plan? Are you still Ah Xi's biological father?"
Xiahou Yi began to sow discord between Xiahou Lin and Xiahou Xi, but unexpectedly Xiahou Lin directly retorted.
"Then Dad, please give me the 20% of Xiahou Group's shares you hold. If you give it to me, I won't care about Ah Xi's marriage anymore."
Ah, this...
Xiahou Yi was so angry that his face turned red that he couldn't do it.
[Hahahaha! Mr. Xiahou is so straightforward! This old Biden is so pissed off! !]
Qin Lang's laughter echoed in Xia Houxi and Xia Anan's minds. They wondered if they should let Butler Qin take a break. But they were also afraid of missing out on important information. They lowered their heads, trying to hold back their laughter until they were practically cramping...
