Yue Lingsi's uneasy thoughts died down after hearing Deng Wenwen's words . She gave it some thought before replying, “Mmm, I'll leave this to Mother then . I'm going back to the Yue Residence later . Qikai and the Han Corporation are both interested in the South River project . They were thinking of developing it together, and Xinyi mentioned it to me . I'll go and talk to my brother and see if things can be worked out . ”
Deng Wenwen nodded . “Go then . Ask Xinyi to pay them a visit as well . Send my regards to Elder Yue, I'll visit some time later . Things are a little hectic recently, it's been a long time since I last visited him . ”
“Don't worry, Mother, I will!”
“Mmm, by the way, send him the gifts I have inside my car . ”
Yue Lingsi nodded before leaving Deng Wenwen's office .
The Yue family in City Z was one of the prestigious families as well . Yue Lingsi's father was once a top ranking official in the government sector, and now Yue Lingsi's eldest brother followed in his footsteps, holding a high position in the same sector as well . Her second brother was the Vice President at Qikai and held a fair amount of Qikai shares . As the youngest in the family, Yue Lingsi grew up receiving lots of love and attention from her powerful family .
This was also why Deng Wenwen had been happy for Yue Lingsi to become her daughter-in-law back then . Shen Wenna seemed to have nothing at all . When she married into the Xi family, there was not even a wedding, but Xi Mushan insisted on marrying her, so Deng Wenwen had to compromise with Xi Jiyang supporting the decision .
Elder Yue loved Xi Xinyi very much . It was not an exaggeration to say she was the treasure everyone loved .
Soon after Yue Lingsi left, there was a knock on Deng Wenwen's door .
Deng Wenwen called out her permission to enter . The person who came in was Xi Xinyi .
“Grandmother!” Xi Xinyi entered with a smile .
“Xin Er? Why are you here? Your mother has just left and she said she's going back to pay your grandfather a visit . ” Deng Wenwen was surprised to see Xi Xinyi .
Xi Xinyi smiled, still appearing slightly pale . There was also faint signs of distress in her expression, but her tone of voice was oddly carefree . It was the kind of nonchalant tone one forced to put on a tough act . “I received Mother's call when I arrived here, but I still wanted to come up and take a look . I'll leave through the back door later . There are quite some reporters at the entrance . ”
Deng Wenwen's attitude became loving and tender towards her as she sighed, “Xin Er, we'll just stay put and observe this scandal for now . I know that it's been tough for you . Your sister really overdid it this time . ”
“I'm alright . She has her own issues and unhappy moments as well, so I hope everyone can go easy on her . By the way, Grandmother, I know you're struggling with the document that's in Aunt Shen's hand recently . This is Yifeng's engagement present for me . Take a look at it . It might help if you go to sister with this . ”
Xi Xinyi took out a document from her bag and handed it to Deng Wenwen .
“What is this? Engagement present?”
Deng Wenwen looked at Xi Xinyi curiously when Xi Xinyi handed her the document, she did not take it from her immediately .
A weak smile appeared on Xi Xinyi's pale face . “Why don't you take a look first? Although I understand it might be a little tough on Sister, I really feel horrible seeing you and Mother struggle about this . Sister's impression of me has never been best anyway . Adding this incident doesn't really matter much . ”
Xi Xinyi laughed bitterly, then she continued, “Grandmother, can just say that I told you to do so? And, Grandmother, I hope you can promise me one thing . After you get back the 20% of shares, can you give it to Sister in the future as her dowry so that I can feel better?”
Deng Wenwen found comfort in Xi Xinyi's words . She smiled and sighed, “Xin Er, you're just too kind . I wouldn't have to go through this hard time if your sister was half as nice as you . Don't worry, Yueying will only belong to you in the future . As for Xiaye, Yueying will only fall if she handles it . I've put in my all into Yueying . It's like my life now . I can only rest easy if I leave it in your hands . As for Xiaye, it's good enough to give her something as compensation . ”
After that, she took the document from Xi Xinyi and opened it . Upon taking a glance at it, a doubtful look appeared on her face . She averted her gaze towards Xi Xinyi and asked, “What does this mean? What can this do?”
Xi Xinyi smiled . With an emotional tone, she said, “Grandmother, it… You'll figure it out if you think it through . It should be very important to Sister . She'll understand once she sees it . ”
Deng Wenwen frowned . After a moment of silence, a sharp light flashed through her eyes as she remembered something . When she was about to ask something else, Xi Xinyi had already turned around .
“I'll head out first . Mother must've been waiting for long . Grandmother, I really hope Sister won't be sad anymore, but it seems that she won't forgive me no matter what I do . I don't blame her even if she keeps pushing me back, but I still have to work hard for myself . You guys understand me, don't you?”
As she reached the door, Xi Xinyi suddenly halted in her steps and turned around to look at Deng Wenwen .
Deng Wenwen felt sorry when she saw Xi Xinyi's pale and sorrowful expression . She took a deep breath and nodded . “Xin Er, you're a good child . Grandmother will always take your side . You've always been my treasure since you were little . , I can never stand seeing you being hurt . Just be a happy little princess like you've always been!”
Xi Xinyi looked at Deng Wenwen with glitter in her eyes and gave her a nod before leaving the office .
Around noon, Xi Xiaye suddenly thought about going back to the Shen Residence . She had promised Wang Hui to meet at the New Era Plaza at 3 p . m . , so there was still some time .
She sent Mu Yuchen a message and told him she was going back to the Shen Residence . Then, she went downstairs after packing her stuff up .
Unexpectedly, he was waiting for her beside the car when she went to the parking lot .
“Are you going back with me?” Xi Xiaye looked at him in apprehension as she took out the car keys from her bag and unlocked the car .
“I promised to go back with you after the New Year . ”
He then grabbed the car keys from her and slid into the driver's seat, smoothly and sleekly .
