Xia Liang's heart felt ice - cold.
She looked at her mother in disbelief.
She knew that after her parents came to the Lu family, they had pleaded again and again before the servants in the family helped them contact Shen Jianyi. When she rushed to the Lu family, she heard such words.
Thinking of what her master had said to her before, she felt both sad and disappointed.
Her own parents had done such a thing to her grandfather for the sake of a little power...
"Xiaxia."
Xia Liang's mother's lips moved, and her face was extremely ashen.
"Dad, Mom." Xia Liang forced out these two words with difficulty and gave them a sad smile. "Let's go home. Stop making a scene."
"We..."
Xia Liang's mother hesitated a bit and glared hatefully at Shen Jianyi.
"Enough! Don't you think you've lost enough face!"
Xia Liang was so angry that she couldn't help raising her voice.
She had never felt so disappointed and miserable in her life!
Xia Liang's parents looked at her in shock and didn't know what to say for a moment.
But things had already gotten to this point. If they stayed any longer, the situation would only become more embarrassing.
Xia Liang's parents glanced at each other and then fled in a hurry.
Xia Liang and Shen Jianyi looked at each other and then left too.
A farce ended in a hurry.
In the villa.
Shen Jianyi helped Lu Jinsheng onto the bed and looked at the wound on his knee. After confirming that it was okay, she quietly sat beside the bed.
"If I hadn't come today, how were you going to handle it?"
Lu Jinsheng held her hand, his tone a bit stiff.
Shen Jianyi lowered her eyelids and looked at his long and broad hand. "I haven't thought it through."
Fighting head - on.
This was her usual way of solving problems.
If Xia Liang's mother wanted to frame her, she would refute.
But obviously, no one here would believe her.
Even if someone helped her, it would only be because they didn't want to affect the reputation of the Lu family.
"Yiyi, you can rely on me."
Lu Jinsheng sighed helplessly.
Her strong - willed nature had never changed. He was happy to respect such a personality of hers, but sometimes she might suffer losses because of it.
Shen Jianyi nodded almost imperceptibly.
Looking at her quiet profile, Lu Jinsheng tickled her palm. "Go ahead."
"Huh?"
She opened her eyes wide.
"Aren't you worried about Xia Liang? Go and check on her."
"But what about you here..."
"They won't come to the villa. Don't worry."
Lu Jinsheng said softly.
Shen Jianyi thought for a while and then nodded. "I'll be back soon."
She left the room and found Sister Gu and Song Min'er.
"Jinsheng is injured. Don't let anyone disturb him for the time being."
"Yes, I understand."
Sister Gu was extremely worried. "Young Mistress, are you okay?"
These days, the young master and the young mistress had been away from home, and she had been very worried.
"I'm fine."
Shen Jianyi's voice softened a bit.
Although she didn't like most of the people in the Lu family, the people in the villa were all sincerely good to her.
After leaving the Lu family, Shen Jianyi drove directly to the Xia family.
As she had guessed, the Xia family was brightly lit.
Shen Jianyi didn't enter through the main gate. She parked the car by the roadside, climbed over the courtyard wall directly, and then went to Xia Liang's room.
Xia Liang wasn't in the room. Presumably, she was with Grandpa Xia.
She didn't go out but waited in the room for Xia Liang to come back.
It was not until eleven o'clock that the door of the room was opened.
Seeing Shen Jianyi in the room, Xia Liang, who had been holding on all this time, finally couldn't help crying.
"Master."
She closed the door. Just as she said two words, tears fell.
She didn't dare to cry loudly. She covered her mouth and squatted on the ground, her shoulders heaving.
Shen Jianyi's mood also became heavy. She walked to Xia Liang's side, sat beside her, and patted her on the back.
After crying for a while, Xia Liang looked at Shen Jianyi with tear - filled eyes and said in a muffled voice, "Grandpa has handed over the Xia family to me."
With her grandfather's help, she had also opened several of her own companies, but they were all small - scale and couldn't compare with the Xia family.
Now that such a large family business was in her hands, she was really a bit panicked.
"Your grandfather trusts you."
Shen Jianyi didn't know how to comfort her. It took her a long time to squeeze out such a sentence.
"Why did my mother do this?"
Xia Liang still couldn't quite believe it.
If she hadn't heard those words with her own ears, she would never have believed that her mother could do such a thing.
"Benefit."
Shen Jianyi tightened her hand, and her eyes also dimmed.
In the final analysis, for the sake of benefit, what did it matter if they were family?
The Xia family was like this, the Lu family was like this, and what about their organization... They were originally people from all over the world. Would they also turn against each other for the sake of benefit?
After sitting with Xia Liang for a while, Shen Jianyi returned to the Lu family mansion.
Early the next morning, the news that Xia Liang had become the person in power of the Xia family made the headlines. Xia Liang also thus became the only woman ranked in the top ten of the Chinese wealth list.
But was she happy?
The answer was no.
Every time she met Xia Liang, it was obvious to the naked eye that she was getting haggard.
"If it's really too much for you, you can quit the organization."
Shen Jianyi suggested.
"No."
Xia Liang shook her head. "The matter of the chip hasn't been resolved yet. I still have to stay in the organization for Master."
Right.
The matter of the chip hadn't been resolved yet.
Shen Jianyi hung up the phone and looked at Lu Jinsheng.
After a few days of recuperation, his leg had already recovered. It had to be said that Fa Cai's medical skills were truly unparalleled.
"Is there any news from Lu Weiran?"
She asked.
Lu Jinsheng gave a grunt. "But it's not good news."
"Normally, the companies that person targets are mostly newly - established ones with good prospects. Lu Weiran's company should be within his consideration, but that person just didn't cooperate with him. Instead, several other small companies all bought the chips."
"Is that person deliberately avoiding the Lu family?"
Shen Jianyi quickly realized.
Why avoid the Lu family?
"Don't think about it. Will you accompany me abroad tomorrow?"
Seeing her worried look, Lu Jinsheng couldn't help but say.
"What for?"
Shen Jianyi raised her eyebrows. "Your leg has just recovered."
"To relax."
Lu Jinsheng chuckled.
The last time he took her on a cruise to relax, but unexpectedly, such a thing happened.
He watched her frowning every day. If she was unhappy, he would feel uncomfortable too.
Just in this period, Lu Ziqian had also returned to the company and started to take control of the overall situation. He was now a free man.
"Ms. Lily is going to hold an exhibition in the United States. Let's go and have a look. Also..." Lu Jinsheng paused and then continued. "Mo Yun said that he had found out some news about your sister."
"Really?!"
Shen Jianyi's eyes lit up. Unable to hold back her excitement, she gave Lu Jinsheng a kiss on the face. "Then I'll pack my things right away!"
Since they could find out news about Wenting, she must still be alive!
As long as she was alive, she would definitely be able to find out her whereabouts!
