Without giving Lin Ru a chance to continue speaking, He Wanning nodded to them and said, "I'm sorry, I have something to deal with, so I have to leave now. Please make yourself at home."
Xiao Jing said with a smile, "Let's have a drink when you're free."
He Wanning nodded. "Okay, you can call me."
Xiao Jing nodded with a smile, thinking that He Wanning, who was usually cold and aloof, was quite polite today.
Xiao Sa, who had been playing with his cell phone in his trouser pocket, turned up the corners of his mouth and looked up at the two of them. "Aunt, since the misunderstanding has been cleared up, we're leaving. This place is more suitable for you."
With that, he turned to walk out. Xiao Jing shrugged and smiled, but just as he turned to leave, he was suddenly stopped by someone. "President Xiao!"
Then a man came up to Xiao Jing with a glass of wine in his hand. Xiao Jing looked at Xiao Sa's back and cursed in his heart. Why did you run so fast?! And why didn't you take me with you when you ran so fast?
As a child of the Xiao Family, Xiao Jing owned shares of Xiao's Group and would show up at the annual shareholders' meeting on time. However, he was the vice president of Qiao's International Group, so many people only knew him as a member of Qiao's International Group. Lin Ru looked at the man coming over and sneered at Xiao Jing, saying, "You're a traitor!"
Xiao Jing sneered and replied, "Do you think I'm a traitor?"
Actually, the shares of Xiao's Group held by Xiao Hongyi and his family didn't belong to Grandpa Xiao, who hadn't distributed all his shares yet. Xiao Hongyi also had some shares, but it wasn't much. However, he was the chairman of the board of directors, the so-called chairman, so Xiao Jing and his family didn't betray Grandpa Xiao.
Xiao Jing took another look at Xiao Hongyi, only to see that the man who had just called out to him was interrupted by someone else. He sneered and said, "If Aunt and Uncle don't like it, I can tell my parents to sell the shares of Xiao's Group in the newspaper. From then on, our Xiao Family will no longer have anything to do with Xiao's Group."
Xiao Hongyi's face changed immediately. What a joke! If the second branch of the Xiao Family blatantly said that they wanted to sell the shares of the Xiao's Group, would others dare to buy the shares of the Xiao's Group? Moreover, the Xiao's Group was able to achieve its current status because of the Yang Family's background and Xiao Hongli's political background. If they claimed that they had nothing to do with the Xiao's Group, the Xiao's Group would lose many customers, and even … collapse!
Thinking of this, Xiao Hongyi smiled, looked at Xiao Jing reproachfully and said, "Your aunt is joking with you. What are you talking about? You young people have your own work circle and what you like to do. We can't wait to support you. You are the backbone of our Xiao's Group. We can't lose you."
Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows. "But I think what Aunt said is right."
"That's a woman's view. Don't forget it, "Xiao Hongyi said with a smile.
Seeing that Lin Ru's face was getting darker and darker, Xiao Jing knew it was time to stop. He nodded and said, "I was just joking. Our Xiao Family is a big family. How can we let others take advantage of us? Right, Uncle?"
"Yes, yes." Xiao Hongyi nodded repeatedly. "Xiao Jing, you're really considerate."
At this time, the man who had just called Xiao Jing came over. Xiao Hongyi took Lin Ru to leave. "You guys talk."
Being pulled aside by Xiao Hongyi, Lin Ru shook off Xiao Hongyi's hand and said coldly, "You Xiao Family people are really something! Both of you are looking down on me, are you? What I've done for the Xiao Family for so many years is nothing? "
Xiao Hongyi looked around and said coldly, "There are too many people here. Pay attention to your image!"
"You still care about your image?!" Lin Ru looked up at Xiao Hongyi angrily. "I was scolded by him just now, but you didn't stand up and say that it hurt your face! Xiao Hongyi, are you the kind of person who doesn't dare to accept or act? "
"How can you blame me?" Xiao Hongyi scowled and pulled Lin Ru to a corner. "If your parents had some ability and background, we wouldn't have to pretend to be weak in front of them, but did your parents have any? Did they? "
Lin Ru looked up at Xiao Hongyi's face in despair and sneered, "So are you blaming me now? Then why did you marry me? Now you regret marrying me, don't you? "
Xiao Hongyi said coldly, "I didn't say that!"
"That's what you meant just now!" Lin Ru's tears fell drop by drop. "Xiao Hongyi, touch your conscience. How much have I done for the Xiao Family over the years? I worked day and night for the Xiao Family. I gave birth to my daughter because my water broke on the way to a business trip, so I had to give birth in the hospital of W City. In the end, my daughter … Now she came back to make me angry. Are you angry with me too? "
"How did we make you angry?" Xiao Hongyi asked coldly. "You don't want to acknowledge her, but I won't allow you to!"
"Acknowledge her!" Lin Ru screamed. "How? I, Lin Ru, have always been looked down upon by the world. It took me a lot of effort to climb to my current position. If someone knew that my daughter had been a beggar in the mountains for more than 20 years, what would they think of me? Both of us and the current Xiao's Group need a daughter like Jinning, not a daughter who becomes a beggar! If I recognize her and she makes a mistake, are you going to blame me for not teaching her well? "
Xiao Hongyi frowned. "That's not my fault …"
"Is it my fault? Is it my fault that my daughter was switched? "Lin Ru said coldly." So now you want to punish me like this? Do you think I don't feel sorry for her? But if I recognize her back, how many people will criticize me behind my back! How many people will laugh at me?! Look at how timid she was when she came back that day. Look at her! It will only be shameful to take such a daughter out. I, Lin Ru, can't bear the consequences of acknowledging her! "
"So you didn't acknowledge her?" Xiao Hongyi said coldly. "Don't talk about this anymore!"
"Do you think everything will be fine?" Lin Ru said angrily. "Since she came back, everything has changed. Don't you know? Grandpa Xiao's attitude and your brother's family's attitude … Now all of them are waiting to laugh at us! "
Besides, she also dreamed that the child cried and complained about her at night, which made her sleepless at night! That was why she hated that girl so much. She was living the life of a rich girl. Why did she still bother her? Couldn't she just live her life quietly and let her go?
Xiao Hongyi said coldly, "Who knows what's wrong with Second Brother's family? We should have just said that Xiao Rou was adopted by our family."
"Good idea!" Lin Ru said and turned to walk out.
