After five years on the run, she returns with two cute babies

Chapter 1163: Using Both Soft and Hard Approaches

"What's the rush? Is Grandpa about to die and needs to give his will?"

Such treasonous words terrified the attendant, who could not speak. His face turned pale, and he shook his head, stammering, "No...no, Master..."

Xiao Mingyang impatiently interrupted the other person, frowned, and walked quickly ahead, too lazy to pay attention to what the guy behind him was saying.

Before even entering Xiao Jincheng's room, Xiao Mingyang smelled a faint aroma of tea. He raised an eyebrow and strolled inside.

Hearing the steady footsteps, Xiao Jincheng put down his teacup, looked at Xiao Mingyang sitting casually in front of him, and laughed, "I thought you were going to make up another excuse not to come."

With a casual laugh, Xiao Mingyang said, "Grandpa has given the order. If I don't come, wouldn't that be giving you too much face?"

Smiling at Xiao Mingyang, Xiao Jincheng handed him a glass of water and said, "If you don't like tea, have some spring water. It was just delivered this morning; it tastes sweet, and I think you'll like it."

Taking a casual sip, Xiao Mingyang praised, "Hmm, it tastes good."

"It's not easy to get your praise." Xiao Jincheng looked at Xiao Mingyang with a smile, his eyes full of affection for the younger generation.

If one didn't know the story between this grandfather and grandson, one would surely be misled by the loving scene before them, assuming that their relationship must be one of filial piety and paternal love.

Xiao Mingyang knew that Xiao Jincheng must have something to tell him when he called him here today. However, since the other party didn't say, he wasn't in a hurry to ask. He turned his head to look at the branches and leaves swaying in the wind outside the window, his mind still reliving the scene that had just ended, and the lovely woman in the picture.

Gazing at that perfect profile, Xiao Jincheng's eyes glazed over, thinking of his own youthful arrogance. But time is fair; no one can escape its ravages. No matter how glorious your past, you will eventually grow old, sitting in a wheelchair, powerless.

With a soft sigh, Xiao Jincheng placed his hands in front of him and said calmly, "Mingyang, you've rested enough, haven't you?"

Turning to Xiao Jincheng, Xiao Mingyang smiled and asked, "What, Grandpa, are you in a hurry for me to go back to the company? I think the company is doing quite well right now. There must be plenty of people who don't want me to go back and disrupt the current situation. Why should I go and make things difficult for myself?"

Xiao Jincheng understood the meaning behind Xiao Mingyang's words, but he did not get angry. He said calmly, "But the company still belongs to the Xiao family. You will have to go back sooner or later. As for how to deal with those Tom, Dick, and Harry, that's up to you."

A slow smile played on Xiao Mingyang's lips as he spoke in a calm, deliberate tone, tinged with a hint of warning: "These are Grandpa's words. Don't blame me for being ruthless in the future!"

Xiao Jincheng disliked being spoken to in a threatening manner, but at this moment, he seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile in his eyes, and said gently, "I'd like to see how you plan to manage the company."

Staring intently at Xiao Jincheng, Xiao Mingyang's voice was full of provocation and indifference, as if what he was discussing was just a trivial matter.

"Grandpa, are you really comfortable letting me go to the company? Aren't you afraid I'll turn it upside down? You should know my temper. I think it will be difficult for me to run the company well because I have bad memories of it."

Hearing this, Xiao Jincheng remained calm and composed, saying slowly, "These businesses will all belong to Xuan'er in the future. How you manage them depends on whether you care about Xuan'er. You are also a father now, and no one can take your place in your responsibilities. I have done everything I could to say and do. How you walk the rest of the road is entirely up to you."

Xiao Mingyang pursed his lips and said, "This is quite a big hat, it immediately rises to the level of human relations. But Grandpa, I only care about whether I am happy or not, I don't care about those formalities at all. Besides, Xuan'er's future is something he needs to work hard for himself. Instead of trying to persuade me, why don't we discuss with him and let him start guarding his own empire from now on, so that it will be more secure?"

Seeing Xiao Mingyang's mocking eyes, Xiao Jincheng's gaze flickered for a moment, but quickly returned to calm.

"Can you bear to let your son and woman struggle in the company and endure the strange looks from others? You should also know what kind of temper your uncles have. If Xuan'er gets in their way, they would rather tear this mother and son apart. So, this mother and son are not having an easy time in the company."

Although Xiao Jincheng was concerned about Lin Yuqing and Xuan'er, Xiao Mingyang was completely unappreciative and coldly said, "Isn't everything they are suffering now all thanks to Grandpa? According to you, I should be the one to settle accounts with Grandpa."

With a deep sigh, Xiao Jincheng looked helpless and said, "I did it to train Xuan'er, but things got out of my control afterward. If you still care about them, you should help them. At the very least, let everyone in the company know that the mother and son have someone they can rely on."

"So, you still care about Xuan'er and Yuqing?"

"That's natural."

Getting up and walking to the window, Xiao Mingyang casually fiddled with the flowers in the vase and said slowly, "Since Grandpa is thinking of us, I wonder what benefits he'll give me if I go to the company?"

"We've already given you access to the company's core operations, isn't that a benefit? And making Xuan'er a major shareholder in the company, isn't that a benefit too?"

Xiao Jincheng's compassionate tone made Xiao Mingyang laugh out loud. He shook his head and sighed, "Yuqing does thankless work every day, and Xuan'er is so young, what can she learn in the company? As for the major shareholder you mentioned, he doesn't have much real power. I don't lack money, and the dividends I receive are useless. In conclusion, I still can't find a reason to go to the company."

Xiao Jincheng's good mood seemed to be running out. His expression slowly darkened, and his eyes turned sinister.

"So, you're saying you absolutely refuse to go back to the company?"

Hmm, this tone of voice is more in line with Xiao Jincheng's characteristics!

Xiao Mingyang turned around and said loudly, "It's not impossible, but it just requires Grandpa to provide some assistance."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jincheng's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What's convenient?"

"I want a share of the company!"

Xiao Mingyang's words made Xiao Jincheng wary, and he asked, "What do you want the company shares for?"

"As a manager of the company, I cannot own shares in the company. Do you think I have any persuasive power when giving orders? And when facing those major shareholders, do they take my opinions seriously?"

Seemingly finding Xiao Mingyang's concerns reasonable, Xiao Jincheng said, "You're right, then I'll give you some of Xuan'er's shares."
