When Xiao Yu heard the name of his fifth brother, he was stunned for a moment and looked blankly at the housekeeper Lao Chen who was cleaning up on the side.
"Didn't my fifth brother die in an accident?"
Old Chen was silent, not daring to reply. However, he was still hesitant to reply, as he was still a little attached to the relationship between master and servant. He said, "Seventh Miss, Fifth Master also signed the equity transfer agreement before he died."
That’s all I have to say. I won’t say another word.
He even regretted letting Xiao Yu in, thinking that she was the only family member left by Xiao Yunting, and he had been supporting her studies and living in Neptune over the years. He acted on his own initiative out of consideration for their old friendship.
But now, remembering the methods used by the young patriarch to deal with the Xiao family, his confused mind suddenly became clear.
Xiao Yu was also struck by lightning at this moment. With her eyes wide open, she looked at Xiao Yunting in disbelief, "You killed my fifth brother? How could you do this? He's your uncle... Ugh!"
The woman's hysterical roar was silenced by a golden needle before she could even utter it.
The golden needle was as thin as an ox hair. She felt a pain in her neck and then completely lost her voice. She couldn't even touch anything.
Ye Lan calmly withdrew his hand and uttered two words in the other party's shocked gaze, "Noisy."
The dining room suddenly became extremely quiet.
It was even a little eerie quiet.
Xiao Yunting lowered his eyes and continued to pick up vegetables and peel shrimps for the girl slowly and methodically, but his aura was no longer as cold as ice, and there was a faint smile in his eyes.
He knew Ye Lan was protecting him.
Everyone believed that he was cold-blooded and cruel, a killer who hated even his own family. Only Ye Lan, who had seen his memory, knew that in the mourning hall that year, Xiao Yu looked down on him as he crawled in like a dog, and did not dare to get close to him. She even turned a blind eye when she saw him being stepped on and chewing mud by several cousins when passing by the garden.
Xiao Wu even personally planned a conspiracy, uniting other European forces to try to kill him. If he hadn't accidentally bumped into Ye Lan on the microphone that time, he would probably be the one who died in a foreign land.
They all have the same surname, Xiao, but these people have never treated him as a family member. Instead, they use this blood relationship to morally blackmail him.
Not to mention someone like Ye Lan who has little kinship, even ordinary people can't stand it.
The assistant then continued to remind her without any sympathy, "Ms. Xiao, your current equity assets are evaporating at an alarming rate every second. You'd better sign quickly."
The contract documents were handed over again.
This time Xiao Yu didn't dare to push him away.
She covered her neck and screamed for a long time before she finally realized her situation. She took the document with trembling fingers, looked at the mountains of gold and silver her father left her, and shed tears of pain and regret.
After signing your name, the document becomes official.
The assistant openly made a phone call and asked the company in New York to stop its operations.
This kind of bandit-like and almost brutal behavior made Xiao Yu face Xiao Yunting's methods for the first time, and a deep fear arose in his heart.
Since the matter had been resolved, Ye Lan took back the golden needle and untied her mute point.
"see a visitor out."
Xiao Yunting gave the order immediately.
"Yes, Master." Old Chen hurriedly stepped forward and pulled out Xiao Yu's chair. "Seventh Miss, please come this way. The servants have already gone up to pack the luggage."
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yu went from being the high and mighty mistress of this house to being kicked out and down on her luck. The huge difference between the two changes made it difficult for her to accept it for a while.
She looked at Xiao Yunting earnestly, still harboring some illusions, and said, "We are family after all, and there is my room here, so can't I live here?"
She was the seventh daughter of the Xiao family. If she was kicked out like this, she would definitely become the laughing stock of the entire imperial capital.
"I will never interfere with the company again, nor will I interfere with your personal emotional life. Yun Ting, even if your aunt begs you."
She was humble and no longer had any of her previous arrogance.
However, "No." Xiao Yunting's indifferent face showed no emotion, and there was obvious disgust in his eyes when he looked at her. "I don't want her to see you unhappy."
she?
At first, Xiao Yu didn't understand, until Xiao Yunting raised his hand under the table, her eyes suddenly widened.
"Aren't you two adopted?!" she blurted out.
"She used to be." Xiao Yunting remained calm, holding Ye Lan's hand, his voice low and firm, "Now, she is the hostess here."
hostess.
These three words put Ye Lan in a good mood. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. After drinking the last mouthful of soup, he also made his attitude clear, "Since this is my place, I naturally don't want anyone who is an eyesore to be there."
From the moment she entered the house until now, her confrontation with Xiao Yu had almost always been one-sided and she was being crushed.
Xiao Yu thought that the girl was from a poor family and was so timid that she could only hide behind the man and not speak a word. She never thought that the man did not take her seriously from beginning to end, and she was the one who performed a solo show and acted like a clown the whole time.
The feeling of humiliation instantly surged into her heart, making her face flush red, but the situation was different now, and she couldn't lose her temper no matter how angry she was, otherwise she didn't know what tricks the devil Xiao Yunting would use to punish her in order to protect the girl.
Finally, she left with her suitcase covered in dust, feeling both regretful and unwilling.
If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have come back. Out of sight, out of mind. Xiao Yunting might be able to support her for the rest of her life.
I should have known that I shouldn't have looked down on others and spoken rudely to Ye Lan. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have been chased away in the middle of the night like a stray dog.
"It's all those old guys who came up with such bad ideas." Xiao Yu pulled her suitcase and angrily cursed the group who had tricked her into coming back. They said Xiao Yunting had adopted a non-blood relative from a different family in order to let the family fortune fall into the hands of others, and urged her to come back to take charge of the situation. "That bullshit chairman has ruined me so much, and I didn't even see him give Tan Xiaoran a second glance."
At this point, she suddenly remembered.
Where is Tan Xiaoran?
Tan Xiaoran originally wanted to leave with them, but was stopped as soon as she walked out the door.
"After going through so much trouble to get close to the Xiao family and sneak into their house, don't you think it's a pity to just leave like this?" Ye Lan strolled out from the dining room, came in front of her, and asked with a cold look in his eyes.
Tan Xiaoran turned to look at her, her doll-like face as white as porcelain, and her amorous eyes shone brightly, making her look particularly charming. "I don't know what you're talking about. Did Miss Ye misunderstand me? Aunt Yu and I just happened to meet on the plane. She thought we were compatible, so she invited me to her house for dinner. I'm not aware of the entanglement between you two."
Ye Lan met her eyes and seemed moved, his reaction was a little slow, "Really?"
"Yes, everything I say is true. You have to believe me." A gleam flashed across Tan Xiaoran's eyes, and the corners of her lips lifted slightly, her face becoming even more charming. She even took two steps closer, her nose almost touching Ye Lan's face, and exhaled sweetly, "I am innocent."
The two young girls both have slender and graceful figures, and their faces are exquisite and beautiful. When they are close to each other, the atmosphere is charming and ambiguous, which makes people jealous and heartbeat.
Just as Tan Xiaoran was about to take another step closer, something suddenly came down from above her head, tightly holding her head, and it felt like millions of needles were piercing her brain at the same time.
"ah!"
