Chapter 1182: Family Concern
"Tell the truth? Hmph, do you think Grandpa will believe what you say?" Xiao Mingyang raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Even if you killed Long You to protect yourself, given Grandpa's suspicious nature, he will still doubt your Dongji and will no longer trust you. Your position in the Xiao family will be in jeopardy."
Ali was stunned for a moment, then shouted, "Big Brother isn't that kind of person!"
"Really not?" Xiao Mingyang looked coldly at the agitated Ali and said, "You've known Grandpa longer than I have. You can carefully analyze his style of doing things and deduce why he would treat you this way. Of course, if you want to believe Grandpa, that's fine too. When you leave the Xiao family with nothing, I will kindly send someone to take you back to your hometown!"
While Ali was lost in thought, Xiao Mingyang stood up, straightened his clothes, and said, "You can stay here until Grandpa wakes up. By the way, you still have time to think it over carefully. If you want to cooperate with me, I'm always welcome."
After saying that, Xiao Mingyang left the room, leaving Ali behind with a gloomy look in his eyes.
……
Because of the press conference, Joanna was too ashamed to stay in the UK any longer, so her family packed her up and sent her to Germany for further studies. It seems unlikely that she will be returning anytime soon.
At this time, Xiao Jincheng was still in a coma, and all matters concerning the Xiao family were temporarily handled by Xiao Mingyang.
During this period, Xiao Mingyang devoted all his energy to the company's operations, negotiating several international deals that caused a sensation throughout Britain. At the same time, he secretly shut down the Xiao family's shady businesses, and sold off several nascent pharmaceutical factories at low prices, using all the proceeds to buy company stock.
In just a few days, the Xiao family underwent a complete transformation, and Xiao Mingyang, as the absolute head of the family, became active in the British business world.
Although Xiao Mingyang has been very busy these days, Lin Yuqing feels that these few days have been the most relaxing for her, because everything is developing in a good direction, and even if Xiao Jincheng wakes up, it will be too late to turn the tide.
As for the remaining shareholders of the company, they were no longer a force to be reckoned with. They didn't know whether the incident in Longyou was a deliberate frame-up by the Xiao family or if there were other reasons, so none of them dared to take any action. Some even used illness as an excuse to avoid all company affairs, acting as if they were just waiting to die.
This was exactly what Xiao Mingyang wanted. He secretly contacted several shareholders and bought their shares at a high price, thus becoming the company's second-largest shareholder.
Although he is the second largest shareholder, Xuan'er's shares are frozen, so Xiao Mingyang now has enough influence to affect the development of Xiao's Enterprise.
Seeing things slowly moving in a positive direction, Lin Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief. She no longer went to the company every day and could spend time playing puzzles and making models with Xuan'er. Life was unusually pleasant.
……
That day, Lin Yuqing was preparing lunch for Xuan'er when her phone suddenly rang, but she didn't hear it.
After putting down the model, Xuan'er took her phone and found Lin Yuqing, reminding her, "Mommy, the phone is ringing!"
"Thank you, darling," Lin Yuqing said with a smile as she took the phone. After pressing the answer button, she heard a familiar voice.
"Yuqing, you and Mingyang have reunited? Why didn't you tell us about something so important! We were worried about you because we thought you were still in Italy!"
"I……"
"Oh, right, we saw it on TV too. What's with that Joanna? Is she the one harassing Mingyang? If he dares to do anything to betray you, tell me immediately, and I'll go to England right now to settle the score with him!"
"he……"
"Also, what happened to Zhenzhen and Xuan'er? Don't tell kids those messy things; it'll have a bad influence on them. How about this: you send those two little devils back to China, and we'll look after them for you, okay?"
As soon as the call connected, Bai Yiran started talking non-stop, leaving Lin Yuqing and Xuan'er exchanging helpless glances.
Oh, Lin Yuqing never knew that Bai Yiran was such a chatterbox!
"Hey, Yuqing, are you still listening?"
Coming to her senses, Lin Yuqing smiled gently and said, "I've always been here."
"Then why didn't you make a sound?" Bai Yiran said, displeased. "You're always so absent-minded, you don't even realize you've been taken advantage of!"
Although she was inexplicably criticized, Lin Yuqing felt a warmth in her heart. It was truly a blessing to have someone care about her like that!
A slow smile crept onto Lin Yuqing's lips. She cleared her throat and said, "Yiran, can you let me say something first?"
"Okay, you say."
"I just arrived in England last month and am currently staying at the Xiao family's castle."
"You're already living at the Xiao family's house!?" Bai Yiran gripped the phone tightly with worry and hurriedly asked, "Has Xiao Jincheng made things difficult for you?"
"He's been unconscious for several days now, so I don't think he's in the mood to cause me any trouble. As for the TV broadcast incident, it was Mingyang's idea to use it to suppress Xiao Jincheng. Although it caused quite a stir, the effect was still quite good."
Although Lin Yuqing spoke casually, Bai Yiran still felt a chill run down his spine.
With a helpless sigh, Bai Yiran said, "You always report good news and never bad, and you bear all the suffering alone. Do you even know what family is for? They're there to give you endless support when you're tired and annoyed. But you're always so polite, Lin Yuqing. Do you even consider us your family?"
Bai Yiran's words suddenly made Lin Yuqing want to cry. She had always been very afraid of causing trouble for others, including her family. She preferred to face everything on her own and didn't want others to worry about her.
But the person she cared about most, the person she least wanted to worry about, was on the other side of the ocean, missing her every day.
After waiting for a long time without hearing Lin Yuqing's voice, Bai Yiran raised his voice and asked loudly, "Hey, Yuqing, are you still there? Why aren't you saying anything!"
"Bai Yiran, Yuqing is already annoying enough. Can you please stop using this interrogation-like tone when you talk to her?"
Unable to bear Bai Yiran's tone any longer, Qingtian snatched the phone and said with a smile, "Hi, Yuqing, how have you been lately?"
This sunny voice is like a rainbow after the rain, dazzling and enchanting.
An uncontrollable smile played on Lin Yuqing's lips as she said, "Not bad, quite exciting!" "For someone as aloof as Xiao Mingyang to confess his feelings to you in public is truly romantic!" Thinking of Xiao Mingyang's domineering words on television, Qingtian instantly became a fan, praising him at every turn. There was nothing she could do; her man simply didn't like sweet talk, so it was normal for her to envy others.
