"Which Xie family?" Zhang Baochen watched as his wife and mother exchanged questions and answers. They seemed to know what they were talking about, but he didn't understand at all. "Do we know each other?"
Qian Shihui's family was also a small businessman.
After she married Zhang Baochen, the Qian's indirectly connected to the Huo's. Zhang Feng used her position as the head nurse of the military to secretly help the Qian's.
The Qian family had developed rapidly in the past twenty years, and they were one of the rising stars in D City, where her maiden family was located.
So she knew a little about "that Xie family".
"It's actually them?!" Qian Shihui almost choked on her breath, her face turning purple from holding it in.
Zhang Feng patted her back lightly and nodded with a smile. "Shihui knows a lot. It's that Xie family. When Xie Ziyan married the General, she brought half of the Swiss bank shares as her dowry. "
Half of the Swiss bank shares …
Zhang Baochen couldn't speak anymore.
Qian Shihui was even more shocked.
Her family had a Swiss bank account and had saved a few million euros for her two children. She thought it was already impressive, but Old Madam Huo's dowry made her kneel.
"Do you understand now? In their circle, having tens of millions in savings is nothing. " Zhang Feng said nonchalantly as she took a cashmere shawl and wrapped it around her shoulders. "Don't be so short-sighted. Don't think you can disregard them just because you have money."
Qian Shihui was convinced. "Mom is really farsighted. Baochen and I are not as thoughtful as you."
Zhang Feng lowered her head and put on a pair of UGG calfskin high heels. She said softly, "After Xie Ziyan passed away, she set up a few trust funds with all her assets under her name. The Xie's sent professionals to take care of them. Every month, the profits from the funds will be automatically transferred to Shaoheng and Jialan's bank accounts."
Trust funds?
Zhang Baochen was more familiar with this. He studied finance in university and had worked in finance companies for a few years after graduation.
"That means Xie Ziyan's assets are all in trust funds? Then … does Dad have a share? "Zhang Baochen blushed and couldn't help but ask.
If that was the case, then they really had to plan carefully.
"I don't really understand." Zhang Feng glanced at her son with a half-smile. "When Xie Ziyan's will was announced, I was there with the Chief, so I heard everything. All I know is that all of her inheritance is in the trust fund. Your father, your eldest brother, second brother, Shaoheng, and Jialan all have a share. Shaoheng's share is the largest, and the rest is split equally between your father, your eldest brother, and your second brother. What Jialan is holding right now is actually your eldest brother's share. "
"Huo Jialan isn't Big Brother's biological daughter. What right does she have to claim the trust fund?" Zhang Baochen objected immediately. "I'm very familiar with trust funds. There are conditions attached to their terms, and they can be amended when the situation permits. Mom, leave this one to me. "
Zhang Feng nodded. "You didn't like to study finance, but I forced you to. Do you understand now?"
"Mom, you should've told me earlier. I would've studied harder." Zhang Baochen smiled bitterly. "Otherwise, I'd be even better than I am now."
"Sigh, man proposes, God disposes. I didn't think so much back then. When you were in university, your father didn't even know he had a son like you … "Zhang Feng sighed and shook her head." I just hope that you're not worse than your eldest brother and second brother. They're both like your father, wanting to go to military school since they were young. Your Auntie wanted them to study finance, but they refused. "
"Although Mom didn't want to target Auntie, this is the truth. It's God's will." Qian Shihui was overjoyed. She was even more respectful towards her mother-in-law. "Mom, are we really going to Shaoheng's place for the New Year?"
"Yes, your father said everyone is going. You guys go get Wenna and Wenjie to pack up. You guys can follow your father with me … "After some thought, Zhang Feng didn't tell them the truth. She was afraid that they would reveal something and be seen through by someone as powerful as Huo Shaoheng. She only said," Your father was very angry today, and he's not feeling well. I tried to talk him out of it, but he didn't listen. I had no choice but to go with him with my medical kit. "
"Huh? Dad's sick? "Zhang Baochen was very nervous." Then should we not go? "
This son of his was indeed a fool …
Zhang Feng didn't know whether to be angry or amused, but she also felt gratified. At least her son was filial.
To a mother, a filial son would make her happier than a successful one. Moreover, with their family's situation, they didn't need her son to be successful, as long as he was filial, that would be enough.
Zhang Feng patted his hand in satisfaction. "Then take good care of your father later."
"I will." Zhang Baochen said as he watched Zhang Feng walk out of the room and go to Grandfather Huo's room.
Qian Shihui quickly said, "Hurry up and tell Wenna and Wenjie to get changed. I'll go down after I wash my face and change."
Zhang Baochen agreed and went to Zhang Wenna and Zhang Wenjie's rooms to inform them. "We're going to your eldest cousin's new official residence for the New Year. Hurry up and pack up. We'll be waiting in the car in half an hour."
Zhang Wenna and Zhang Wenjie couldn't believe their ears at first, but Zhang Baochen didn't have time to explain. He said impatiently, "Your grandfather said so. Hurry up and pack up. We can't delay any longer."
The Huo manor was bustling with activity again.
Half an hour later, the eight members of the Huo family were already seated in Huo Xuenong's large van that could seat nine people. They were heading towards the Special Operations Forces headquarters.
Behind the van was a food truck delivering the New Year's Eve dinner. It had chefs and orderlies along with a truck full of food, following behind the van.
In front was a military vehicle belonging to the security company, with Grandfather Huo's van in the middle.
Huo Guanchen sat in the front passenger seat, with Grandfather Huo's orderly driver driving beside him.
Zhang Feng and Zhang Baochen sat on Grandfather Huo's left and right in the second row. Qian Shihui sat alone on the right side of the second row by the window, separated from the three rows of seats on the left by an aisle.
Huo Jialan, Zhang Wenna and Zhang Wenjie sat in the third row.
Huo Jialan had been the head of the Huo family for four to five years, and was usually very arrogant towards Zhang Wenna and Zhang Wenjie. She didn't even look them in the eye. Now that the lawsuit was over and it was revealed that she wasn't her uncle's biological daughter, Zhang Wenna and Zhang Wenjie immediately despised her and didn't even want to talk to her.
Huo Jialan didn't want to talk to the Zhang family either.
Her face was as beautiful as a peony, and looked even better with makeup. But now, her face was as beautiful as a chrysanthemum in autumn. She wore a pea-green cashmere coat and a white turtleneck cashmere sweater underneath. Her face was pale, and even a little haggard.
She sat alone by the window on the right, looking at the night view outside the window in silence.
On the night of New Year's Eve, there was almost no traffic on the streets of the Imperial Capital.
The military vehicle in the front drove as fast as lightning, and no traffic police dared to stop them.
If any traffic police saw them, they would only flash their lights to clear the way for them.
Therefore, they arrived in less than half the usual time.
It was only 7: 30 PM when they arrived at the entrance inspection of the Special Operations Forces base.
"Pass, thank you." The sentry on duty came over and saluted.
Grandfather Huo's driver lowered the window and showed him Grandfather Huo and Huo Guanchen's passes. "These are Mr. Huo's family. Mr. Huo's grandfather, father, and relatives are here to celebrate the New Year with Mr. Huo."
The sentry took the passes back to his post to check, and another sentry stood motionless at the door with a gun slung over his back, watching them warily.
Huo Guanchen had been here once, and sat in the front passenger seat with his arms crossed. His face was dark, and he didn't say a word.
It was Grandfather Huo's first time here. He thought about it and stood up from his seat. "I'm going out for a walk."
"Old Huo, it's cold outside. Can your body take it?" Zhang Feng quickly stood up and held Grandfather Huo's arm. "Let's sit down and wait."
"It's fine, it's fine. I've survived all the cold weather in the past, what's this? " Grandfather Huo snorted, and lightly kicked Zhang Baochen, who was sitting next to him. "Move, I'm going down."
