Although Xu Shenxing still had a lot of doubts about the black shadow, since her aunt had spoken, there was no reason for her to go against her.
And if the target of the black shadow was really Chiyuketsu Yi, then it would appear again sooner or later. As long as she was mentally prepared, Xu Shenxing was confident that she could kill it in a flash. The only thing she had to be careful about was how much strength she used. Otherwise, the "Mysterious Disappearance of a Luxury Villa" would probably make the headlines the next day.
Not long after Xu Shenxing brought Chiyuketsu Yi back to the living room under her aunt's meaningful gaze, the middle-aged man with the surname Cao gestured for everyone to go to the room that was probably the dining room, leaving behind a few crying people.
"Although I'm very sad about my brother's death, now is not the time to be immersed in sorrow."
The middle-aged man with the surname Cao seemed to be quite popular in Xu Shenxing's stepfather's family. His style was also a little overbearing. As soon as he arrived at the dining room, he sat down at the main seat and looked around at everyone.
Other than a blonde girl with double ponytails who seemed to be muttering something like "Why isn't there food in the dining room?" or "I'm hungry." Everyone else was quietly listening to him.
"Because my brother's death was a little sudden, he didn't leave a will. Because of this, his considerable wealth will inevitably attract the covetous eyes of some rascals."
As he spoke, he glanced at the girl's family, who were spontaneously sitting on the other side of the table, as if to say that they were the so-called rascals.
"It just so happens that I have an important position in my brother's company. Although my words can't be taken seriously, at least they have some weight." He scanned the crowd and found Chiyuketsu Yi, who was subconsciously following Xu Shenxing. He then flashed the girl a smile that he thought was amiable, scaring the girl into hiding behind Xu Shenxing. "Why don't I temporarily manage the company and adopt my niece? When my niece grows up, I'll return the family business to her. What do you think?"
"That sounds good. Who knows if you'll just eat up your brother's family business and leave an empty shell for Chiyuketsu's girl?" When the girl's family saw that the middle-aged man was eating meat while they couldn't even get a mouthful of soup, let alone shredded meat, someone immediately jumped out to object to Ali's suggestion.
Uncle Cao's face changed. Although he did plan to do so, how difficult would it be for him to transfer the funds of his brother's family business to that company while he had great power?
After all the transfer, these assets would have nothing to do with his niece. If that girl was sensible enough, it didn't matter if she ate well and drank well. In the future, she could be used as a bargaining chip in the business world to make profits for him through marriage with other rich families. If she dared to have any thoughts that she shouldn't have, as her guardian, it would be easy for him to punish her.
However, it didn't matter if this kind of thing was done in private. It didn't matter even if everyone knew about it. But once it was exposed, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't sit still.
"This man looks a little unfamiliar. May I know who you are? What's your relationship with my brother? " He hated him in his heart, but he couldn't show it too obviously. Otherwise, it would be bad if others thought that he had a guilty conscience.
Since the other party was sitting with the girl's family, it wouldn't be difficult to make the connection. Since the family business was built up by his brother, he could just use this as a starting point and ask about the relationship between the other party and his brother. No matter how close the girl's family was, could they be closer than him?
"Mr. Cao, your words are meaningless. This family business will belong to Chiyuketsu in the future, but Chiyuketsu's surname isn't Cao. "
The girl's relative said in a carefree manner.
These words were used to push the trap in Uncle Cao's words. It was quite clever.
"Oh? Then what do you plan to do? " Uncle Cao asked coldly when he saw the duck that was about to jump up and fly away. He was so angry that he laughed and asked coldly.
"Of course, everyone will have a share." The other party seemed to have guessed that Uncle Cao would ask this question. He answered without thinking, "Although there's only one company, we can share the shares. Everyone here will have a share. Those who adopted Chiyuketsu's daughter will have double the shares!"
Originally, many of the relatives who weren't very close to the deceased thought that they wouldn't have anything to do with this and were ready to watch the show. They didn't expect that when the girl's relative said this, even they, who were just bystanders, would have a share of the benefits. They immediately cheered loudly and supported the leader of the girl's relative.
Even many of the man's relatives started to change sides.
Uncle Cao saw that the possibility of him taking the fat meat alone was very slim. He couldn't help but snort coldly, "Of course I'll adopt my niece, but I want half of the shares!"
"What a big appetite. Aren't you afraid of dying from overeating?" The girl's relative sneered in his heart. This uncle didn't repent even after angering everyone. He didn't understand the principle of fairness at all. He really lived like a dog. "How about this? After we split the shares, the person who adopted Chiyuketsu's daughter can have three shares. You can also take this villa. If you don't want to adopt her, I'll take care of her!"
When they heard that adopting Chiyuketsu's daughter would have such great benefits, some of the other relatives also spoke up one after another, saying that their place was more suitable for the little girl to live and grow up.
Suddenly, the restaurant was as noisy as a wet market.
Just as this quarrel was about to evolve into a brawl between hooligans, a loud bang startled everyone, and the entire restaurant fell into an eerie silence.
Everyone's eyes were focused on one person.
Xu Shenxing was still pounding the table as he coldly looked around at everyone.
The long marble table, which could theoretically withstand more than a ton of weight, was directly broken into two from where he stood.
Everyone who was swept by his gaze lowered their heads guiltily. No one felt that their bodies could be stronger than the marble table.
It was only then that Xu Shenxing turned his head and looked at Chiyuketsu, who was also startled.
The little girl still had tears in the corners of her eyes, but it wasn't because she was frightened by Xu Shenxing's actions. Instead, it was because her relatives had made a fool of themselves when they fought for the ownership of the villa and three times the shares. She couldn't help but sob.
Although Xu Shenxing didn't particularly understand why the little girl was crying, Xu Shenxing was certain that it was definitely not because of these people's "enthusiasm" for adopting her.
Rather, Xu Shenxing was very unhappy with the feeling of giving the little girl a price tag.
"Let me reintroduce myself. I'm your half-brother. My name is Xu Shenxing." He reached out his hand to the girl. "I don't need the villa or the shares. Do you want to live with me? Of course, your life will be a little poor ~ "
Chiyuketsu stared blankly at him for a few seconds. Then, like a small animal, he shakily put his hand in Xu Shenxing's hand.
"Wait a minute, little brother, I'm afraid this is not in line with the rules …"
The uncle surnamed Cao wanted to say something, but after Xu Shenxing glared at him, he was speechless.
"Shut up." He coldly snorted. "What's wrong with a sister living with a brother?"
