Zuo Yue refused to look at him and turned her face to the side.
However, Xu Chengfeng still held her shoulders firmly and said in a low voice,ââYour mother did not intend for you to inherit the Xu familyâs business when she asked you to study medicine.â
Zuo Yue seemed to have heard the hidden meaning in his words and immediately raised her hand to shake his hand away.
Xu Chengfeng pressed her down.â Donât hide, look at me, Zuo Yue.ââ
Zuo Yueâs eyes were red as she turned her head away without saying a word.
âYouâre already eighteen years old. Everything has yet to take shape. If the executives and directors of the Xu Corporation plan to take advantage of my background to take a share of the Xu Corporationâs assets, Zuo Yue, you have the absolute right to stand up and inherit everything in the Xu family.â
Zuo Yue suddenly turned to look at her.ââAt a time like this, you still want to push everything about the Xu family out?â
Xu Chengfeng suddenly smiled, which made Zuo Yueâs hair stand on end. She did not understand his intentions at all.
However, Xu Chengfeng raised his hand and gently patted her head, as if he was treating a diluted treasure, or as if he was treating a child who had yet to fully understand the ways of the world. He said gently, Later youâll understand, now calm down, listen to my arrangement, hmm?â
Zuo Yue looked at him, then lowered her eyes to look at the hands that were holding her shoulders.
His eyes dimmed, but he did not answer.
Xu Chengfeng stroked her hair gently, knowing that she was carefully considering the situation of the Xu family.
On the surface, the Xu family seemed to be a prestigious family. It was a business family that relied on the funds of the Xu Group to gain a foothold in the United States. However, there were many complicated things within the Xu Group.
Once his grandfather passed away, too many complicated things within the Xu family would gradually surface.
Xu Chengfeng indeed had the courage to control everything. Once the Xu Corporation fell into his hands, he could indeed quickly clear all obstacles.
However, the biggest problem in front of Xu Chengfeng was that the directors of the Xu Group had never admitted that he was the son of the Xu family on the grounds that his background was unclear.
This was the most important issue. Moreover, Xu Chengfeng was the president of the GN Group. If he took over Xu Enterprise in this capacity, the board of directors would take the opportunity to cause trouble. At that time, Xu Enterprise, which had just lost Old Master Xu, would not only suffer a simple blow, but it might even fall apart overnight.
Zuo Yue didnât know much about these, but she knew some of the key problems of the Xu Corporation. She suddenly raised her hand and pushed his hand away from her shoulder.
Xu Chengfeng did not say anything when he saw her action. He only looked down at her deeply and let go of her hand.
Zuo Yue continued to move to the side. She didnât want to talk to him, but her mind was more or less clear.
She didnât want to carry so many responsibilities. She had seen her brother take on too many responsibilities since she was young, and she knew how hard it was to grow up.
Everything would have to wait until they returned to the Xu family. Her mother was already worried enough. If the directors of the Xu Corporation continued to cause trouble, who knew what trouble would happen.
Perhaps if Xu Chengfeng had not expected this, he would not have returned even if his grandfather had died.
They returned to the Xu familyâs house without a word. There were many cars parked outside the Xu familyâs house. There should be many people at home at this time. When Zuo got out of the car, he looked at the Xu familyâs house. Mother Wang and Uncle Chen were not members of the Xu family. They were only responsible for sending them here and did not intend to go in.
Xu Chengfeng walked in front while Zuo Yue walked behind him. The two of them looked as if they really had nothing to do with each other. It was as if nothing had happened as they walked through the door calmly.
When Xu Yuan saw them, she quickly walked over and pulled Zuo Yue over. When she saw Zuo Yueâs eyes that looked like she had cried, she immediately hugged her daughter with heartache.âGo up and rest first. I have something to say to your uncle.:
Zuo Yue did not utter a word, nor did she turn around to look at Xu Chengfeng. She walked in quickly and left their side as if she was escaping.
Xu Yuan turned around and looked in the direction of the left moon, then turned to Xu Chengfeng.ââChengfeng, a few people from the board of directors have already come today. Because Dad has just passed away, there are some things that they canât say, but their attitude is very clear.â
Xu Chengfeng glanced at the people from the Xu family who had come to prepare for the funeral.âI know.â
âLetâs go out and have a chat.â
When Zuo Yue ran up the stairs, she did not return to her room immediately. She stood at the top of the stairs and looked down. When she saw her mother and uncle walk out, she took a deep breath and turned to go back to her room.
*****
Two days later.
Grandpaâs funeral was neither grand nor low-key. Everything was done according to Grandpaâs preference.
Zuo Yue walked out of the auditorium. She was only wearing a black dress, and she was instantly bathed in the cold wind outside the auditorium. However, she was not in a hurry to go back. At this moment, everything was over. The board of directors had already begun to debate and pursue the various aspects of the Xu Corporation.
She could not be bothered to listen. Besides, she had nothing to do now. Although Xu Chengfeng had planned to let her inherit the Xu Corporationâs business, her mother did not have such plans, so she did not have to participate too much for the time being.
As for the futureâ¦
Zuo Yue raised her hand and gently rubbed the goosebumps on her arm that had been frozen. She would talk about the future later.
She had just walked to a bench in the square outside the auditorium. The bench was a little cold, but at least it was not snowing now. In the cold air, Zuo Yueâs black dress did not look so eye-catching, and it was easy to be annihilated by the people who came and went to mourn.
Suddenly, a black figure walked over.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
For the past two days, everyone in front of Zuo Yue was wearing either black or white clothes. After looking at them for a while, she looked up and saw that it was Little John who had accompanied Uncle Johnâs family today.
John Junior looked down at her thin dress, took off his black coat, and handed it to her.âThen, put it on.â
Zuo Yue did not take it and shook her head.ââIâm not cold.â
âEven if youâre in a bad mood, thereâs no need to sit in the cold wind. If youâre sick, itâll only be worse.âJohn Junior said as he put his coat behind her and sat beside her.âWhen my grandfather passed away a few years ago, I was also very sad, but everyone has a life of birth, old age, illness, and death. Itâs good to be optimistic. When youâre old, you have a home to return to. Perhaps my grandfather just went to heaven to enjoy life and doesnât have to worry so much in the human world.â
