“Dad, I was useless. When I saw them bully mom, I couldn’t say anything. I couldn’t do anything at all,” Xiaobei said as she cried. “I was originally supposed to take mum’s precious bracelet out, hoping to make grandma happy so that I can progress in the family. However, Yang Ye broke it. In fact, he broke it on purpose. Everybody there saw it happen! But, dad, despite that, grandma said that mom was overreacting and that it was only a normal piece of jade accessory. In grandma’s eyes, probably nothing is as valuable as Yang Ye is!”
Yang Xiaobei could not hold back anymore on this day. Before this, when they mocked her and her mum, she endured it all. But, what happened just now wasn’t even the slightest bit fair. Yang Xiaobei could not take it anymore, so she ran back feeling that she had been treated unjustly.
“You know, Guo Ru hates you. She hates mom and I too. She probably wants mom and I to leave the Yang family for good. Alright, Yang family, I won’t go there anymore!” As soon as Yang Xiaobei finished talking, she flopped onto the bed and started to cry.
Chen Hao stood behind Xiaobei and patted her on her shoulder. Yes, although Xiaobei was usually honest and kind, she had her own dignity after all; nobody else would endure repetitive ridicule and unfairness like she did. Other than Xiaobei, nobody knew this feeling better than Chen Hao did.
Speaking of which, if Xiaobei’s family didn’t help his family that year, his family would’ve suffered incredibly. Since his mother trusted him with this, he would give Xiaobei and Uncle Yuxing a bright future.
“Chen Hao, I’m sorry for making you worry. You are not done with grandma’s birthday feast yet,” Xiaobei said and looked at Chen Hao after she cried for a while while drying her tears.
“It’s nothing. Xiaobei, don’t be too pessimistic. It will get better. Surely!” Chen Hao held Xiaobei’s hand.
“Mm hmm.” Xiaobei nodded her head.
Just then, Xiaobei’s handphone suddenly rang. One glance told her that it was the housekeeper, Ashen, who had called.
“There is going to be an emergency family meeting. Attendance is mandatory.” Next, Ashen ended the call.
“Go and wash your face, then go back there quickly.” Chen Hao said.
“I’m not going. I don’t want to be in that family anymore. That year, Aunt Yuying performed so well, and yet she didn’t want to stay in this completely soulless home. Really, Chen Hao, this place can really torture you to madness!” Xiaobei said angrily.
“You must go. You still have to think of Aunt Caifeng. Don’t give Aunt Guo Ru a chance to spurt her nonsense. In the very least, you have to go now,” Chen Hao persuaded her with a smile.
Xiaobei thought about it and nodded her head. Next, she followed Chen Hao’s advice and left.
The meeting went on until two o’clock in the afternoon. As for Chen Hao, he didn’t follow Xiaobei there this time. He stayed at home to help Uncle Yuxing with exercising his wrists and with other things. Xiaobei arrived with Aunt Caifeng. But as soon as they got back, Aunt Caifeng started ranting away.
“Guo Ru, I’m not done with you. How can you bully other people like that? I’m not done with you!” Guo Caifeng scolded.
“Aunt Caifeng, what happened?” Chen Hao asked after he walked out.
Guo Caifeng didn’t answer her, but went straight into the house with red eyes. Xiaobei’s mood was also obviously very bad. However, she said, “Chen Hao, there is trouble in the Yang family now. It is a complete mess.”
“Chen Hao, you know the people from the Xinfeng Group?” Actually, Xiaobei always felt that Chen Hao was very mysterious.
“Oh, I do. One of my schoolmates is there.” Chen Hao played dumb. After all, he wasn’t planning to completely expose his identity just yet. Although he had no particular secrets to hide from Xiaobei, some things were just difficult to explain. “Don’t worry. When have I ever lied to you? When you are there, ask for somebody named Zhao Kang. He’s in charge of the projects,” Chen Hao said seriously.
Xiaobei could see that her cousin was not lying to her. So, she nodded her head.
Actually, Chen Hao now controlled all the family businesses in China. Therefore, nothing was difficult for him.
Xiaobei didn’t hesitate to act. After sorting everything out, she really went to Xinfeng Group, because she believed that her cousin would not pull such a big prank on her.
Xinfeng Group was Yan Jing City’s super big enterprise. It wasn’t a family business, but they were regarded by many family businesses as a cash cow; one could only imagine how strong they actually were.
“Miss, we have many customers today. Please wait in the VIP zone.” When Xiaobei arrived there, a customer service officer respectfully led Yang Xiaobei to the VIP waiting area.
As soon as she walked in, Yang Xiaobei raised her head and saw a few familiar faces. At the same time, those familiar faces all saw Yang Xiaobei.
“Tsk tsk tsk, isn’t this Xiaobei? She’s actually here?”
