Chapter 144 Persuading Xing Yanzhao to Take Over the Xing Family
Aunt Xing analyzed, "Judging from Yanzhao's attitude towards the old lady Kuang who raised him and his younger brother who is not related to him by blood, he is a child who values affection. Since he came back, we have always maintained a welcoming attitude towards him and have never looked down on him in the slightest. If he inherits the Xing family business, perhaps our idea of having a separate business can be realized under his care."
"Hmm, not bad." Uncle Xing nodded calmly. "Yanzhao is fundamentally different from his father. He hasn't been blinded by profit. However, I'm worried that he doesn't fight or grab, while Lin Zhengyu fights and grabs."
He looked at his wife and said, “Don’t forget, he is now the chairman of Chaoye Technology. His net worth is no less than that of the president of Xing’s Group. Our Xing family only wins because of its century-old heritage and numerous industries. In this day and age, connections are important, but connections can be bought with money. Not to mention the value and benefits of Chaoye Technology. So many people are willing to lick their boots to ask for a connection.”
Aunt Xing recalled something, "I remember Yanzhao only came back to investigate the car accident, right? After that, he moved out with Luo Huai and rarely came back to the Xing family. He wasn't close to my elder brother and sister-in-law. Come to think of it, my sister-in-law is senile, and my elder brother is just mistaking a fish eye for a pearl."
Uncle Xing said, "We still need to advise Yanzhao that even if the Xing family doesn't need this much, they shouldn't hand over the Xing family to an outsider with ulterior motives."
“We’re afraid we won’t be able to get through to them; we’ll have to ask the old folks to speak up.”
"Don't worry, it will be either tonight or tomorrow. The old man and the old lady will definitely invite the young couple to the old house. We can go there then."
Just as Uncle Xing had predicted.
The next day, after the summit ended, Luo Huai received a phone call from the old house; the caller was Old Mrs. Xing.
"grandmother."
"Luo Huai, now that you've finished your work for today, you shouldn't be too busy for the next few days, right?"
"Yes grandma."
"You and Yanzhao are coming to the old house tonight to talk to us? We've already sent the butler to pick you up."
Luo Huai glanced at Xing Yanzhao and mouthed, "Grandma told us to go back."
Xing Yanzhao had guessed it too, and nodded.
“Okay, Grandma, we’re coming right back.” Luo Huai hung up the phone, took Xing Yanzhao’s arm, and said softly, “I’ve had quite a few ladies add me on social media these past few days.”
"Do you hate it?"
"No, it's not that," Luo Huai said. "It's just that my WeChat Moments posts need to be managed."
"If you don't want to add them, then don't. I'll tell people that you don't attend any parties or banquets. If you add them, set it to chat only, and they can't do anything to you."
"It's alright, those ladies we added are all quite nice." Luo Huai smiled and went out with him. Butler Xing's car had been waiting for a long time.
The car drove to the old house.
Xing Yuru was also there. She was at the scene yesterday and saw someone call out to her older brother, the chairman of Chaoye Technology, and even go up to him.
He also said, "I am Xing Yanzhao, Chairman of Chaoye Technology."
Her jaw dropped in astonishment.
Yu Shao raised his hand to close her mouth and said, "Brother Xing is amazing, isn't he?"
Yes, her brother is very capable.
But none of them knew.
No wonder she said her brother always gave people a sense of pressure; almost every boss gives people a sense of pressure.
"Big brother, sister-in-law." Xing Yuru still looks at her brother with a bit of admiration. Her brother was switched at birth and had such adoptive parents. It was a terrible start for her, but in the end, he still managed to stand in a position that others could not reach.
Suddenly I understood why Kuangye admired her brother.
“My parents and my second and third uncles are all inside, but my second brother and sister-in-law aren’t here.” Xing Yuru turned to Luo Huai’s side and took his arm.
She held on, and Luo Huai let go of Xing Yanzhao.
"Tsk." Xing Yanzhao lightly smacked his lips, very softly, but the two with keen ears still heard it.
Xing Yuru immediately let go and considerately took her sister-in-law's arm back.
Luo Huai: "..."
"Pfft." She couldn't help but laugh.
Xing Yuru whispered, "Big brother is so stingy."
"Never mind him." Luo Huai took Xing Yuru's hand again and walked inside.
When Xing's mother saw her son, she stood up for the first time ever, her eyes scanning him closely. She had already heard about what happened yesterday.
how could be?
How come he has another powerful identity?
They didn't even grow up by her side.
Besides disbelief, she also felt embarrassed, as she had previously criticized her own son for being incompetent.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom..." Xing Yanzhao only glanced at his parents when he called them, but he showed more respect when he looked at his second and third uncles.
Xing's mother was very embarrassed and dissatisfied.
No matter how she behaves as a mother, her son should not treat her badly.
She sat down again.
When it was time to eat, Xing's mother wanted to save face as an elder by talking to Luo Huai, so she said, "Luo Huai, come and sit next to Yu Rou."
Xing Yanzhao placed one hand on Luo Huai's hand and said, "Luo Huai has always sat next to me."
Xing Yuru also said, "Yes, Mom, my sister-in-law should sit next to my brother."
Xing's mother felt a surge of anger welling up inside.
Luo Huai politely said, "Mom, I'll sit here."
"Sit wherever you want," said Old Mrs. Xing. She glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law out of the corner of her eye, but ultimately said nothing. After finishing her meal, she called Luo Huai away to take a walk in the yard.
Mr. Xing and Xing Yanzhao also asked the old man to call them to the study.
"Grandma, watch out for the steps." Luo Huai helped Grandma Xing up the steps.
Grandma Xing patted her hand and said, "Luo Huai, your grandparents are getting old and don't really like crowds. Every time we call you over, it's because we have something to say. Grandma will tell you directly and without beating around the bush."
"Grandma has something to ask you. Does Yanzhao not want the inheritance rights to the Xing family? I've noticed that he's been talking about that... salted fish, that guy you young people like to talk about all the time!"
Luo Huai smiled.
“I know he has no feelings for the Xing family, he doesn’t like the complicated family relationships of the Xing family, and he looks down on what the Xing family has. After all, there are many people in the Xing family, and each person can only get a limited amount, unlike Chaoye Technology, where he is the only one in charge, then his younger brother Kuangye, and then some small shareholders.”
“In the Xing family, he has to be diligent and careful in navigating relationships. He doesn’t need technology in the court and the countryside, which saves him a lot of trouble. But Luo Huai…” Old Madam Xing turned to look at Luo Huai and sighed, “The Xing family is actually already on the decline. With so many people dividing it up, it’s easy for it to fall apart. It’s impossible for every generation of the family to produce a genius to take over.”
"Zhengyu can't be considered a genius. He was nurtured by the Xing family's resources. He is diligent and obedient, unlike other young masters who only think about eating, drinking and having fun. That's why he is where he is today."
“But he is not a member of the Xing family after all. If their affair had not been discovered, Zheng Yu would not have any ulterior motives, and he would be the best candidate to succeed the Xing family.”
"But things have happened, and a lot has happened since Yanzhao came back. We can't guarantee that he won't have ulterior motives."
Perhaps that child already harbored ulterior motives. Old Mrs. Xing thought to herself.
