"A man's promise is a lifetime."
Gao Jianfeng nodded his head with certainty. It would be hard to find someone who was willing to take care of him for the rest of his life. Little Qiao should be moved.
"My parents said before that they would take care of me for the rest of my life, but then they both left, and my grandfather also said that he would take care of me until I grew up and got married. But in the end, they both left."
Little Qiao's voice was choked with sobs. Gao Jianfeng's words had hit the sore spot in her heart.
To her, the promise was exactly that unbearable.
"That's not the same, little girl. The past is already in the past. I was the one who caused your grandfather's death, so I helped him fulfill his promise. Don't cry, you're not alone, you and I are alone. In the future, you will have your own children, and many more relatives. "
Gao Jianfeng embraced Little Qiao in his arms, he was not good at comforting others.
"Will there be? Even if there are, they will still leave me one by one in the end. "
Little Qiao shook her head and buried her head in Gao Jianfeng's chest, she didn't want to think too much about it.
She was afraid, afraid of the fickleness of the world, afraid of the fragility of life. This was also the reason why she could not kill Gao Jianfeng.
Only she knew how precious life was.
"Are we still going to Paris?"
Gao Jianfeng could feel Little Qiao trembling, as well as the grief in his heart. Regardless of whether he knew Little Qiao only had his grandfather's family, he still had to carry out that mission.
A man is a promise, and although he has no right to do that, society is the law of the jungle.
"Go, ever since my grandfather was buried, I've never returned. I should go back and visit my grandfather and uncles."
Joe wiped his eyes.
Though her uncles didn't like her, she should go and see them.
"Well, let's go on to Paris and stop crying. If your parents, your grandfather, and your grandmother see you crying, they won't be happy even in heaven."
Gao Jianfeng softly comforted her.
The little girl looked strong on the outside, but she was actually very weak. She had to have someone support the sky so that it wouldn't collapse.
"I know. I won't cry. I will be strong. I promised my parents that I will live well. I will."
The journey from New York to Paris was swift. In four hours, they arrived at the Paris airport.
As soon as he got off the plane, Joe had a sense of timidity that was completely different from the way he had felt when he had first arrived in Paris.
As soon as they left the airport, they were surrounded by a group of men in black suits.
"Miss, Mr. Wright sent me to pick you up."
The moment the black clothed man opened his mouth, Little Qiao knew who these people were. However, she didn't quite understand.
In a moment, they were surrounded, and they were not in the same group, she was even more puzzled. Although she was of the Wright family, because her father was Chinese, his uncles had never taken a liking to her.
"Cousin, Daddy asked me to come and take you back. Where have you been this past year? We couldn't find you. "
Even though they were surrounded, there were still people coming in, and there were more than one of them.
Looking at these unfamiliar cousins, cousins, cousins, and little Joe, he was even more puzzled. Since when did she become so popular?
In the past, only my grandfather in the Wright Family could enjoy such treatment. What's going on today?
Could it be that after not seeing her for a year, they had suddenly thought of her as a 'relative'?
"Little girl, do you know them?"
Gao Jianfeng's eyes swept across the three layers of people, his instincts telling him that these people harboured malicious intentions, and that little Qiao could not follow them.
"They are my family, these should be my cousins, cousins, cousins, those should be their bodyguards."
Little Joe looked at the separated bodyguards. Although he knew they were relatives, he couldn't tell who was who and who was who.
"Cousin, I'm Cousin Ember. I knew you were coming back. My mom told me to come and pick you up."
"Cousin, don't listen to your cousin. There are so many people in their family, so it's inconvenient to live here. You should go over to my place."
Seeing them argue, hearing their cousin and cousin call out, little Qiao's head felt like it was about to explode. She had never enjoyed this kind of treatment before, and today, she could not bear it either.
"My relatives, I know you care about my wife, but I'm sorry, she's been away from Paris for too long, so we appreciate your kindness, but we won't go there. We've already booked a hotel, so please go back."
At this time, Gao Jianfeng finally had a place to use his martial arts.
Gao Jianfeng brought Little Qiao to the hotel, and the two of them were wondering why so many relatives came all of a sudden.
"Little girl, did your grandfather leave you any inheritance when he left?"
Gao Jianfeng pondered over and over again, thinking that this matter was still related to her grandfather.
"Yes, but it's all cash. Nothing else."
Xiao Qiao nodded, but looked at Gao Jianfeng in puzzlement. That amount of money was nothing to his uncle, their annual allowance did not stop at this amount.
"No, there must be something else. Think about it carefully, is there something else?"
Gao Jianfeng shook his head, if it was only cash, then it would not be so exaggerated. Moreover, they only found the little Qiao's explanation now and did not know it from the beginning. They must have found something after Joe left Paris.
"No, Grandpa didn't leave anything behind. I'm sure it was something else."
Little Joe was also very upset. Although being cared for was a good thing and was something she had hoped for, being overly concerned about him made her scared and uneasy.
"Little girl, don't worry. Let's rest here first and see what they can do. Tomorrow, we'll go pay respects to our grandfather as planned."
Gao Jianfeng didn't add you to grandfather this time, which made little Qiao very worried.
That night, Gao Jianfeng called for help, hoping to find out the truth behind the attention that little Joe had received from his uncles.
The next morning, before they had even woken up, Gao Jianfeng had already received the news.
There were nine sons in Grandpa Qiao's family, ten of them. The Wright family owned fifty-five percent of the family business, while the other twenty-five percent was owned by her grandfather's brother. Apart from the boss, who had fifteen percent of the shares, there were very few others, but Little Qiao alone had ten percent.
Although everyone was unhappy, their wills were big and what they needed now was 10% of Little Qiao's shares. If this 10% were to fall into their boss's hands, then the company's management would fall into his hands.
And because of that, Joe was not only hot, but also a life-threatening one.
"Little girl, what do you plan to do now?"
Gao Jianfeng told Little Qiao the truth and let her make her decision.
"I never thought about it. Although Grandpa said that I would inherit my mother's part, I didn't think that part would have so much."
Ten percent meant that she would never be able to spend all the money in her life. If she had ambitions, she could even join the Wrightsville Group, but she didn't.
After experiencing so much, she felt that although she couldn't lack money, it wasn't useful.
Money could not buy one's kinship, much less one's loved ones who had passed away. What money could buy were all false things, just like the care of uncles.
"Little girl, you must make a decision now. This will of yours might bring you harm. I'm worried that someone will make a move against you."
Gao Jianfeng said worriedly.
"I understand. That's why I didn't plan to take it. Ten percent, give it to them. The remaining one percent is my annual living allowance."
Little Joe was very open-minded.
More money was more than money, less money was more than money. If someone died, then no amount of money would be of use, so she was willing to give it to them.
"Then what are you going to do now?"
Gao Jianfeng was not surprised, little Qiao's decision was exactly what made her so cute.
"Help me contact them. Today, we will go pay respects to Grandfather. I will tell them my decision from the tomb. After that, I will sign the documents."
Joe said calmly.
How she wished that the feelings of her uncles had no strings attached, how she wished that the late family love was real.
"Okay, you can rest assured. No matter what happens, I will always be by your side."
Gao Jianfeng nodded, then made an appointment with nine uncles for Little Qiao.
He was sure that all nine of them would be there, but it was a different matter whether or not they could accept Joe's decision.
Their goal in taking over Joe's shares was to take control, and whoever took ten percent of Joe's shares alone would have the win.
When Little Qiao and Gao Jianfeng arrived at the cemetery, the uncles were already waiting. There was no one else apart from the nine uncles.
"Hello uncles."
The younger uncles politely greeted their uncles.
After Little Qiao and Gao Jianfeng paid their respects to Grandfather and Grandmother, they spoke to the other uncles.
"Uncles, why are you looking for me?"
Little Qiao swept her gaze over all the uncles. She discovered that there was one missing, and there were only eight. It seemed that there was someone who didn't care that hadn't arrived. That person should be the boss who received the most shares.
"Little Qiao, who is this person beside you?"
One of the uncles stood up and asked. Joe couldn't tell the size of these uncles, so he didn't point them out.
"Aldrich is my fiancé."
Joe said calmly.
Right now, he could no longer care about his personal grudge with Gao Jianfeng. The most important thing was to clarify the thoughts of his uncles.
"Fiancé?" Little Joe, how come we uncles don't know? "
Two more of his uncles stepped forward. Obviously, they were not happy with Gao Jianfeng's action of killing them in the middle of the way.
It would be easy for an orphan girl to bully him, but it would be difficult for a man to suddenly appear. Moreover, after they found out about Gao Jianfeng yesterday, they sent someone to investigate.
"Uncle, Little Qiao is already an adult. You don't need to report to your uncles for anything, right?"
When Gao Jianfeng saw the arrogant uncles of Little Qiao, he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.
[So many elders and adults come to bully the girl?
"Uncle, please tell me why you're looking for me. After today, I will return to England with Aldrich."
Little Qiao signaled Gao Jianfeng not to rush.
