The expressions on everyone’s faces became even more varied.
Gu Xiaoqi let out a cold laugh, “Isn’t it because you’re afraid of gossip that you haven’t given any to your own flesh and blood daughter?”
“How could I? I certainly did it because…” Just as He Xia was about to say more, Gu Xiaoqi suddenly raised a hand and interrupted her.
“Fine, let’s assume you’re telling the truth this time. Then you must see now that your daughter is probably not quite capable, but our Yin Yin is. She’s the dragon head at Fanxing Group, which is even better than Mu Shi’s current company. Do you think she’s capable enough now?”
He Xia’s expression shifted slightly.
Even Nan Shiqing and He Chengkui’s expressions changed somewhat.
But before they could even think of what to say, Gu Xiaoqi spoke with a smile that wasn’t a smile, “Then you should return the shares to Yin Yin now, right?”
The implication was that Nan Shiqing lacked ability, but Mu Yinyin, as the dragon head of Fanxing Group, was absolutely qualified.
If He Xia argued further, it would be clearly immoral.
Although she could do as she pleased if the shares were in her hands, she couldn’t lose face or alienate people in such a public setting.
Otherwise, people might think she had character issues in the future, and cooperation might not even be possible.
He Xia was almost choked to death with anger, but she couldn’t say anything. She could only suppress her rage and say with a smile, “Naturally. I never knew about Yin Yin’s status before. Now that I do, I can naturally hand over a portion of the shares to her with peace of mind.”
“A portion.” Gu Xiaoqi let out a cold laugh. “Then how many shares are you planning to give Yin Yin?”
Is this endless?! Nan Shiqing truly wanted to question her directly.
Mu Yinyin stood up and took Gu Xiaoqi’s hand.
Gu Xiaoqi immediately turned to look at her, and many others also cast their gazes upon Mu Yinyin.
The matter had started because of Mu Yinyin, so everyone naturally paid close attention to her reaction.
Mu Yinyin, however, spoke with a smile that wasn’t a smile, “I don’t want the shares anymore.”
Everyone: “?”
What’s going on?
He Xia’s heart sank instantly!
She suddenly remembered what Mu Yinyin had said before!
If she didn’t give her the shares within the stipulated time, then she shouldn’t blame her for being heartless later!
Mu Yinyin, is Mu Yinyin going to start retaliating now?
In the past, she had never taken Mu Yinyin’s words seriously, dismissing them as nonsense.
But now…
He Xia was a little scared.
After all, behind Mu Yinyin was Fanxing! Fanxing!
And with so many people watching, she couldn’t really go along with Mu Yinyin’s words. She immediately shook her head with a smile, “No, how can that be? This is all your father’s legacy. You naturally have a share. No matter what, Yin Yin, we are family, aren’t we?”
She had long wanted to foster a good relationship with Fanxing Group but had no way to do so. Now, with Mu Yinyin, at least everyone would know that Fanxing and Mu Shi were inseparable.
He Chengkui also immediately said with a smile, “Yes, Yin Yin, we are all family. Why are you being so modest?”
Sensing her uncle’s gaze, Nan Shiqing took a slight breath and stepped forward, making a move to grab Mu Yinyin’s hand.
But Mu Yinyin easily stepped back, leaving her outstretched hand frozen in mid-air.
Nan Shiqing’s face stiffened.
If only Fu Siye were watching here, he would have continued to maintain this gesture.
But…
With so many people watching, she couldn’t. She couldn’t let people discover that her relationship with Mu Yinyin was strained, as it would only drive away those who wanted to curry favor with Fanxing from Mu Shi.
This was not a good sign.
She pretended to casually lift her stiff hand, tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, and said with a smile, “Sister, I’m truly happy for you.”
Gu Xiaoqi was so amused she laughed. Just as she was about to say something, Mu Yinyin directly took her hand.
Gu Xiaoqi immediately looked at Mu Yinyin, her eyes clearly showing disapproval, but more so pity for her. Mu Yinyin had endured so much hardship over the years.
They had all heard about Mu Yinyin’s father’s situation but couldn’t help much. This was something they all felt guilty about. Now, how could they allow these people to continue scheming against them?
Li Chuan, however, spoke slowly at this moment, “Xiaoqi, come sit here.”
Gu Xiaoqi looked at Li Chuan suspiciously. Upon noticing his clear gesture, she could only walk to Li Chuan’s side.
She, who had been so sharp moments ago, now sat beside Li Chuan like a well-behaved kitten.
At this moment, Lu Sinian had finished greeting guests. Most of the guests had arrived, and he was walking inside. When he saw that everyone’s attention was focused on Mu Yinyin in the corner, he raised an eyebrow and slowly walked towards her.
Perhaps because everyone’s attention was so concentrated, very few people noticed Lu Sinian.
Mu Yinyin was also among them.
She calmly looked at He Xia and the others and said softly, “Mu Shi, since it’s your desire, I’ll leave it to you. But I want to see how long you can hold onto it.”
He Xia and the others’ expressions changed.
Just as expected!
Mu Yinyin was going to make a move!
A strong sense of doubt flashed in everyone’s eyes. What did Mu Yinyin mean by that?
Just now, President Gu had been speaking up for President Mu, continuously criticizing He Xia and the others. He Xia was indeed ungenerous. Not only did Mu Shi become the domain of their He family, but they didn’t even give Mu Yinyin any shares. This greed was truly unsightly.
He Xia looked worried, her gaze towards Mu Yinyin filled with a hint of guilt. “Yin Yin, do you think your aunt treated you badly? Perhaps I was too strict with your discipline at times, but back then you were still young, and I was afraid you…”
At this point, she seemed so guilty that she didn’t know what else to say. She sighed, “Alas, it’s all my fault…”
Mu Yinyin’s expression was extremely calm. She was completely unmoved by the person before her. Even in front of so many people, she did not put on a white-lotus act to make them feel uncomfortable.
Fu Siye gazed at the noble and beautiful woman without speaking.
He had no intention of approaching her.
However, his dark, cold eyes always held a somewhat unfathomable depth.
And under everyone’s gaze, Mu Yinyin suddenly turned her attention to He Xia and the others, her red lips parting slightly.
“You don’t need to apologize to me, nor do you need to put on a show in front of everyone. From today onwards, Fanxing will not have any cooperation with Mu Shi.”
Upon hearing this, He Xia and the others’ faces changed drastically!
What did Mu Yinyin mean by this?! How dare she say it in front of so many people!
And before she could fully react, Mu Yinyin spoke again, “For any company that cooperates with Mu Shi, Fanxing will refuse to cooperate with them across the board.”
