Chapter 480: Chapter 394: Is the Birth Mother Indifferent like a Chrysanthemum? The Young Miss Turns the Tables with a Reckless Move 34_3
“Vice President Xie, does Xie Yanshang know about all this?” Su Zhiruan indeed saw a check and a contract inside the document bag. After glancing at them, she put the documents back into the bag and placed it on the table, composedly saying, “I don’t really have any objections as long as Xie Yanshang knows and agrees to this.”
“As long as you don’t tell, and I don’t tell him, he will never know!” Uncle Xie tapped the ash off his cigarette, “Even if he finds out, he will thank me in a few years. For a sickly nouveau riche miss like you to get this five million is already a grace from the Xie Family. I advise you to take this money and get some good treatment. Maybe in a few years after recuperating, you’ll have a chance to marry into a good family!”
“But for now, you should give up the idea of marrying into the Xie Family. With your sickly looks, it’s probably hard for you to even get pregnant, and even if you’re close to giving birth, the child is likely to be just a frail little runt! You—”
Just as Uncle Xie was speaking fervently, a commotion was suddenly heard outside the door—
The door wasn’t locked.
The door was suddenly kicked open!
Three bodyguards were subdued at the same time, shouting loudly.
“Boss, boss, the young master has come, the young master has come!”
At this moment, Su Zhiruan and Uncle Xie both turned to look.
Xie Yanshang, against the light. His face emotionless, he kicked the door open. Tall and long-legged, still dressed in his black suit, his eyebrows sharp with intensity, Xie Yanshang’s brows furrowed as he observed the scene in the room.
“Uncle, why did you bring her here?” Xie Yanshang stood right next to Su Zhiruan. The bodyguards behind him released Uncle Xie’s three subdued men and lined up well-trained behind Xie Yanshang.
“Oh, my nephew, I… I was doing it for your sake! I heard recently… Recently I heard you’ve been close to a girl, so I, I had her come over to see what kind of girl could have our great young master Xie so bewitched!” At this moment, Uncle Xie had become increasingly incoherent, rubbing his hands with a sheepish grin.
“I stood by the door just now and heard everything,” Xie Yanshang added indifferently.
“I, I—” Uncle Xie was at a loss for words.
“How much money did you offer her to make her leave me?” Seeing the document bag on the table, Xie Yanshang casually picked it up, pulling out a check, and scoffed, “You’re saying you took out a check for five million to send her away? Right?”
“Nephew, I was thinking of you—she’s in poor health, and you, as the Xie Family’s leader, must eventually produce an heir. Look at how thin and scrawny she is; how could she give birth to a healthy successor!” Uncle Xie defensively argued back.
“Since when was it your place to meddle in my affairs! It seems you’ve been very idle at the company lately,” Xie Yanshang spoke from a position of superiority, “If you’re that idle, I can apply to have you transferred to Africa. I believe that there, Uncle Xie, you will certainly be able to correct your bad habit of meddling.”
“No no no no, please, nephew! Uncle will not do it again! Please don’t send Uncle to Africa. I was just worried about your family’s situation! That’s why I had such an idea, it was all my secretaries around me, all thinking of nothing but bad ideas, and I was hesitant. If you two are indeed in love, how could Uncle interfere!” Suppressing his feelings, Uncle Xie forced a fawning smile at Xie Yanshang, then glanced at Su Zhiruan.
“Now that Uncle has come to his senses, I’ll just take her and leave!” Xie Yanshang did not wish to waste more words on him and gestured for Su Zhiruan to follow him, “Let’s go.”
Afterwards, the group left in a grand fashion while Uncle Xie sat on the ground, sweating profusely.
He knew very well that his nephew was a man of his word, never falsely posturing. He, as his uncle, only had that title because of their blood relation.
But real power never comes from bloodlines—it comes from strength.
Even from a distance, Uncle Xie could hear snippets of their conversation as they descended the stairs.
When Xie Yanshang spoke to Su Zhiruan, his tone was nothing like the coldness he had shown to him; it was tender and gentle, “I brought you some pastries, they taste better when they’re warm.”
“Doctor Xie, why did you rush over here and even buy pastries!”
“I was worried about you being taken away by bad people and then going hungry,” Xie Yanshang seemed to chuckle.
Then they walked further away.
Inside the private room, three bodyguards hesitated as they looked towards their boss. They wanted to help him up, but were afraid of aggravating him.
Suddenly, they heard their boss—Uncle Xie—burst into loud laughter, “Hahahaha—”
“Boss, what’s wrong with you!” The lead bodyguard anxiously inquired.
“Heaven helps me too!” Uncle Xie laughed even more wildly, “This is truly Heaven’s help!”
The three bodyguards were utterly confused.
“Originally, I was just suspicious, whether that frail underaged girl could ever conceive an heir for the Xie Family, but now, Xie Yanshang’s actions have given me an answer!” Uncle Xie laughed, certain, “In a while, I’ll go and tell the old man on them! The great young master Xie, so indifferent to the succession for the sake of love. Once the old man knows, they will surely regret it!”
