Chapter 586 Identity And Shares
Xia Yunlou’s tears came streaming down non-stop. “Mom! Hurry up and stop them! Xi Xi is my daughter, but so is Anran. My heart aches for her, but Xi Xi has already gone through the most difficult period and even has the assets left behind by my sister. Why should she… compete with Anran?
“Xi Xi has suffered outside. I’ll treat her well in the future. But don’t hit Anran!
“I know that Xi Xi is my biological daughter and I want to treat her well, but Anran is also my precious daughter. How can I bear to let her suffer? If I treat Xi Xi well, what will Anran do? What did she do wrong to deserve this?
“Anran isn’t related to us by blood. If I don’t treat her well, she won’t have any status in this family. So, I can only side with her.”
Since Xi Xi had suffered for so many years, what was wrong with letting Anran be? Wasn’t Xi Xi already used to suffering?
“Alright.” Old Madam Yin sneered. “Take your good daughter and get out of my Yin family, then!”
Xu Zhi’s expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly rushed to Old Madam Yin. “Mom, Xi Xi is my daughter and the eldest daughter of our Xu family. How can I abandon her? I’ll announce her identity at the birthday banquet. I won’t let her suffer.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Xi walked over slowly while holding Gu Zheng’s arm.
Xu Zhi’s mind went blank, and the words of Old Madam Yin echoed in his ears. If they didn’t want Xi Xi, then the Yin family would cut off all ties with the Xu family. The Xu family had been relying on the Yin and Xia families all these years. If the Yin family cut off their support, it would be like losing an arm.
He rushed madly to Qiao Xi. “Xi Xi, come home with me, okay?”
Xia Yunlou calmed down. She knew clearly in her heart that if she lost the support of the Yin family, the Xu family would lose a lot and their status would definitely be far inferior to before. Hence, she gritted her teeth and persuaded Qiao Xi as well. “Xi Xi, come home with us. As long as you don’t fight with Anran, I’ll dote on you.”
Gu Zheng nodded slightly at Old Madam Yin as a form of greeting. Then, with a malicious expression, he casually said, “Madam Xu.”
The man’s voice was calm, but one could feel the faint coldness exuding from him that made one shudder.
Gu Zheng adjusted his gold-framed glasses with his slender fingers. His tightly pursed thin lips curved into a cold smile. “I can let Xi Xi return to the Xu family with you.”
The worry in Xia Yunlou’s eyes instantly disappeared. A trace of disdain and ridicule appeared. As expected, Qiao Xi was still unable to reject the identity of the Xu family’s young miss.
Although Qiao Xi was married to Gu Zheng and had already become the prestigious Mrs. Gu, if she didn’t have a wealthy family, how would she be able to stand firm in the Gu family? At least, if she was abandoned by Gu Zheng one day, she could still return to the Xu family to be a wealthy young miss who didn’t have to worry about food and clothing.
Gu Zheng swept his cold gaze across the area and clearly saw the ridicule in Xia Yunlou’s eyes. He lazily said, “But I have a few requests.”
Xu Zhi immediately replied, “President Gu, please speak.”
Gu Zheng’s expression was indifferent. “Mrs. Gu is your biological daughter. If you want her to return to the Xu family, she must return as the eldest daughter of the Xu family. Otherwise, there’s no need to talk about it.”
Xia Yunlou was indignant. “No,”
“President Gu, I agree. What other requests do you have?” Xu Zhi interrupted in a panic, then roared at Xia Yunlou, “Stop being silly! If the Yin and Xia families cut ties with us, the Xu family will be finished! The old master will definitely not let you off!”
Gu Zheng said, “The servant who swapped my wife must be dealt with. If the Xu family doesn’t want to be the bad guy, then I’m willing to settle it for you.”
Xu Anran widened her eyes in horror and shook her head hurriedly.
Xu Zhi had a difficult expression on his face. He knew clearly that if the servant was handed to Gu Zheng, then she would either be sent to prison or be secretly dealt with by Gu Zheng. Either way, the outcome would be painful.
Gu Zheng said slowly, “Thirdly, Xu Anyi is your biological son. I don’t care how many shares he has, but Xu Anran is just an adopted daughter. She doesn’t deserve 30% of the shares, so the shares under her name must be transferred to my wife.”
Boom!!!
Xu Anran and Xia Yunlou looked up in disbelief. Xu Zhi revealed a difficult expression.
