It was Xu Dongkui's first time recovering from a serious illness. He held a family banquet, and Mo Wen became the guest of honor. In the dining room of the villa, a table was filled with sumptuous dishes, and there were servants bustling about from time to time.
It was unknown when Xu Ling had snuck in and stood beside her sister, Xu Qianqian. She had an obedient look on her face and seemed to be a little afraid of Xu Dongkui. However, Mo Wen had carefully discovered that this little girl was not afraid of Xu Dongkui, but Mrs. Xu, who was by Xu Dongkui's side.
"Miracle Doctor Mo, it is the Xu Family's honor to be able to invite you to our banquet today. Although it wasn't a five-star hotel, the chefs here weren't any worse than the top chefs in five-star hotels. Please! "
Xu Dongkui smiled and made an inviting gesture.
"Xiao Qian, go get Number Three and Number Four to come down. Miracle Doctor Mo is already here, but they are still upstairs. This is outrageous."
Xu Dongkui seemed to notice that a few people were missing in the villa. He frowned. He had six children, three sons and three daughters. Except for his eldest son who had passed away, he had called everyone over for today's family banquet.
Under Xu Dongkui's hospitality, Mo Wen did not stand on ceremony and sat at the head of the table. Just as he sat down, two young people came down from upstairs. It was a man and a woman. They were about twenty-four or twenty-five years old. They were both good-looking and had inherited Xu Dongkui's excellent genes.
The two of them said goodbye to Xu Dongkui and walked into the dining hall with their heads lowered. They chose a corner and sat down.
"That's my third sister, Xu Xiaopei. She got married two years ago. Today, she specially came home to attend the family banquet."
Xu Qianqian sat down beside Mo Wen and introduced them to him secretly.
Upon hearing that, Mo Wen nodded his head. However, since they were attending the family banquet, Xu Xiaopei's husband actually did not show up. What was going on?
"Her husband died in an accident three months ago. At that time, her father was still unconscious in bed and didn't know about it."
Seemingly seeing through Mo Wen's doubts, Xu Qianqian sighed and said. Their Xu Family seemed to be shrouded in a layer of curse that they could not break free from. Misfortune kept happening in this family. One day, she didn't even know if she would suddenly die.
Mo Wen nodded his head silently, not saying anything.
"That's my fourth brother, Xu Deye. He's still single and doesn't have a proper job. He spends all day in his room playing games."
Xu Qianqian furrowed her brows when she introduced her fourth older brother. She seemed to resent his failure.
"Why isn't Guangliang back yet? I seem to have told him that I invited Divine Doctor Mo over, so he must come home for dinner tonight. "
After everyone was seated, Xu Dongkui noticed that there was still one person missing. He could not help but frown.
The Zhiqiang he was talking about was naturally the son of Xu Qianqian's second brother, the current Madam Xu.
"Haven't you been reforming the group recently? He's still busy with the company's matters. He'll probably be back soon. "
Madam Xu smiled and poured a cup of wine for Xu Dongkui. Her voice was gentle and charming.
"Oh."
Xu Dongkui nodded. For some reason, his face turned cold.
"Divine Doctor Mo, let's start. Let's not care about him. I'll give you a toast first …"
Before Xu Dongkui could finish his words, a tall and slender figure walked into the villa and headed straight for the dining room just as he stood up with a glass of wine in his hand.
The youth was rather handsome, but his face gave off a feminine vibe. There seemed to be a hint of coldness lingering around him.
Who else could this person be but Xu Qianqian's second brother, Xu Guangliang?
"Dad, I've already said that your body hasn't recovered yet. Don't drink. Why don't you listen to me again?"
The youth took a few steps towards Xu Dongkui and snatched the wine cup from his hand. He poured the wine in the cup onto the ground.
"You …"
Xu Dongkui glared at Xu Guangliang. On the surface, his son was doing this for his health. However, when had he ever dared to be so presumptuous? Moreover, this cup of wine was for Mo Wen. In front of outsiders, how could he show his face?
"Dongkui, Guangliang is doing this for your own good."
Madam Xu hurriedly came out to smooth things over. She pulled Xu Dongkui's arm and sat down. Her eyes were intentionally or unintentionally looking at her son. Her eyes were filled with doubt. As his biological mother, she could naturally feel that there was something wrong with her child.
"Dad, I have something to discuss with you."
Xu Guangliang smiled in a feminine manner. He didn't care about Xu Dongkui's expression at all. He casually pulled a chair and sat beside Xu Dongkui. He poured himself a cup of wine and drank it in one go.
"What is it?" Xu Dongkui asked in a low voice.
"I see that you are getting old. Your mind and body can't keep up with the pace of this society. Why don't you just hand the group over to me? You can just stay at home and enjoy your life."
Xu Guangliang curled his lips and said cynically.
"Hand it over to you?"
Xu Dongkui took a deep breath and put down his chopsticks. He stared at his son and said plainly, "With just you? Do you have the ability to manage such a huge group? Not to mention that I'm only 50 years old, even if I'm 80, I won't hand the group over to you. "
His second son was ambitious. He had always known that. Previously, he was quite satisfied with this ambitious son. He thought that a man could only achieve great things with ambition. However, it was a completely different matter if his ambition continued to expand.
Moreover, his second son had great ambition but little talent. His heart was not in the right place. It would be difficult for him to take on big responsibilities. If he handed the group over to him, it would collapse sooner or later.
This time, due to his illness, he lay in bed for a few months and couldn't deal with the group's affairs. Many things were taken over by his second son. As a result, the group had big problems.
Just a few days after returning to the group, he found many problems. Whether it was finance, human resources deployment, or investment projects, there were problems one after another. Many problems could be seen by an idiot, but the executives of the group turned a blind eye to them or were unable to manage them.
In just a few months, he had almost emptied out his company.
Ever since he recovered, he was very disappointed in his second son. He just didn't show it. A mature wolf would always stare at the prey outside. Only a wolf cub would stare at the meat in its own nest every day.
"Dad, ability can be trained. If you don't let me come into contact with it, how can I understand it? You can't say that. You're getting old. You have to find a successor, right? If you get seriously ill again and die, the group will be in trouble. You don't want to lose all the businesses that you've worked hard for half of your life, do you? "
Xu Guangliang drank a mouthful of wine and patted Xu Dongkui's shoulder with a smile. His palm was steady and strong. He looked like a leader praising his subordinate.
"Xu Guangliang, how dare you! Who asked you to talk to dad like this? "
Xu Qianqian slammed her palm on the table and stood up suddenly. Today, this second brother was too much. How could he talk to dad like this?
"Xu Qianqian, who do you think you are? This has nothing to do with you."
Xu Guangliang glanced at Xu Qianqian coldly. His slightly squinted eyes flashed a dangerous radiance. As for Mo Wen, he didn't even look at him from the beginning. It was as if he treated him like air, as if he didn't exist.
"Who do I think I am? Indeed, you have never taken us brothers and sisters seriously. "
Xu Qianqian took a deep breath. Her eyes gradually turned cold. All along, the relationship between her second brother, Xu Guangliang, and them was very cold. They were no different from strangers.
In reality, she knew that he looked down on them. He looked down on the third brother, Xu Xiaopei, looked down on the fourth brother, Xu Deye, and looked down on the youngest sister, Xu Ling. It was because they were all illegitimate children. Their status couldn't be compared to his.
He even looked down on her and found her an eyesore. It was because she had lost her mother and big brother. In his eyes, he was the master of this family. Other than that, all his brothers and sisters were enemies who were fighting with him for the family property.
However, he had forgotten that he was only an illegitimate child. If her mother hadn't died, and if that woman hadn't seduced her father, he would be nothing.
The argument in the dining room made the atmosphere tense. However, not many people dared to speak.
The little girl was sitting on the chair and eating her rice. Her eyes were in the bowl, and she didn't dare to lift her head.
As for Xu Xiaopei and Xu Deye, both of them had their heads lowered and were silent.
As for Madam Xu, it was as if nothing had happened. She was minding her own business and eating her food. Her actions were elegant and delicate. The elegance of a rich lady was displayed vividly.
Her eyes didn't even look at Xu Dongkui. She turned a blind eye to her own son's impudence.
"Xiao Qian, sit down."
Xu Dongkui took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands. He gestured for Xu Qianqian to sit down and looked at Xu Guangliang and his wife.
"You're right. I'm old. It's hard to predict whether I'll live or die. The world's affairs are also hard to predict. Who knows when I'll die. As for the inheritance of the group, we should indeed prepare early. However, the will has already been written and divided into two parts. One is given to a famous foreign security company, and the other is given to a famous domestic law firm. "
"However, it's a pity that you're not the heir in the will."
Xu Dongkui looked at his children. A complicated emotion that only he knew arose in his heart. He suddenly realized that home didn't feel like home. This home was so cold.
"Old thing, I know what you're thinking even if you don't say it. Everyone knows that ever since the eldest, Xu Jianye, died, you've placed the successor on that b * tch, Xu Qianqian. You're really stupid to hand over the family business to a woman. When she gets married in the future, will your group still have the surname Xu? How can the so-called empire that you've built for half of your life have anything to do with you? "
"It's a pity that when I poisoned Xu Jianye, I didn't kill that little b * tch as well. She caused so many things and really got someone to cure your illness. It's really a mistake."
Xu Guangliang sneered. The feminine expression on his face became more and more feminine. His eyes were so gloomy that it made people shiver.
He naturally knew what Xu Dongkui was thinking. He had long trained that b * tch, Xu Qianqian, as his successor. If he had been the successor, then today's matter would naturally not have happened.
"What did you say?" Xu Qianqian suddenly stood up. Her small face was extremely pale. Her eyes stared at Xu Guangliang.
