Xia Chu thought resentfully that if not for the appearance of this woman, Jiang Wanning, she would not have been abandoned. It was her that met Xie Zhanan first.
It was a pity that Jiang Wanning was also a useless woman. She did not even know the man beside her had a lover. Should she be called stupid or bad? Only Xia Chu's heart knows.
"Xie Nian, did you forget the manners you had learned because you had been staying overseas for so long? This is my lawful wife, your mother."
Xie Nian sneered. He was already starting to defend his wife. The two of you had given my mother hundreds of times more pressure than this.
"Xie Zhanan, don't cause a rift between your daughter and you because of me. We'll come out now and wait for you all outside. Don't be angry."
Xia Chu looked at Xie Zhanan pitifully. She really looked like a woman who had been heavily bullied. Seeing Xia Chu like this, Xie Zhanan felt extremely upset. He was the one who broke his promise back then.
After abandoning Xia Chu, he had originally thought that there was no longer any possibility of them seeing each other again. He did not expect to meet her again in the Jiang Family Courtyard. The love they had previously came rushing in like a surging tide.
In Xie Nian's eyes, the two of them looked like clowns. Such love was really pitiful.
"Are the two of you here to perform in front of me? If that's the case, I don't have much money to reward you. Why don't I leave for a while so that the two of you can have all the time and space you need?"
Xie Zhizhi rushed to Xie Nian with a furious expression. She pointed at her nose and said, "You shameless woman. You're just like your mother. If not for you, I would be the eldest daughter of the Xie family.
Everything that you have should be mine. Even the marriage with the Zhou family is mine. Who are you? You're just trash. "
"Haha, I'm afraid you've forgotten. Without my mother, there wouldn't be the Xie family. There wouldn't be a Xie family in the entire Jiang Capital. Even if there was, it wouldn't be the Xie family with Xie Zhanan in it."
Xie Zhizhi wanted to go forward and argue with her, but Xia Chu grabbed her wrist tightly and pulled her out of the living room.
She had to admit that Xia Chu was a very smart woman. She understood the situation and knew that even if she stayed, it would not affect her at all. She might as well leave the room. Besides, Xie Zhanan would definitely tell her everything that happened later.
"Niannian, there are no more outsiders now. Can you tell me what are the conditions that I have to fulfill for you to transfer the shares to me?"
"Father, actually, this makes things very difficult for us. It's not like you don't know how influential Xie Cheng is. He's a famous figure in Jiang Capital. He was on the cover of quite a number of financial magazines out there. How can we take back what we've already said? Wouldn't it result in us being criticized by others?"
"Then you shouldn't have made such comments on the Internet back then. You don't even have a chance to go back on your words. Aren't you idiots?"
Perhaps Xie Zhanan thought that his words were biased, so he glanced at Xie Nian from the corner of his eye. Seeing that she had no other reaction, he became bold.
"Niannian, look at you. You're still young and have never encountered such things. It's inevitable that you'll do something rash. You should have just asked me to arrange a position for you at Nian Cheng back then."
Xie Nian had a bitter expression on her face as she said unhurriedly, "Father, don't you know that I study design? If I enter the company, won't I be competing with Xie Zhizhi, so—"
Before Xie Nian could finish, Xie Zhanan had already understood what she meant. He had forgotten that Xie Nian had also learned design.
It was as if there was a chasm between the two of them. For a moment, no one spoke.
"But—" Xie Nian's sudden words interrupted Xie Zhanan's thoughts.
"But what?"
Xie Zhanan looked at Xie Nian anxiously, waiting for her to continue. However, Xie Nian was not in a hurry at all. She sat on the sofa and took a few sips of the tea that Aunt Wang had served.
Then, she said unhurriedly, "But have you forgotten, Father? As long as you find all of Mother's drafts, you can get the shares of Nian Cheng Corporation. Father seems to have a lot of them."
