Chapter 279 - Resign

Lu House.

"Is Little Xi really back?" Ye Juan An asked Lu Jin Xiao.

Lu Jin Xiao smiled brightly, "Mm. Mo Chen called me yesterday, and he said that Little Xi went to find him at the office, and he said that they would be meeting today. Mo Ling and Bo Chuan would be going over as well."

"How is Little Xi?" Lu Jin Sheng asked worriedly.

"Mo Ling called me and said that Little Xi is fine and the babies are healthy as well. They just saw them and Little Ying."

"That's great…" Lu Qing Min breathed a sigh of relief along with the others.

"When can we see them?"

"Mo Ling said that she would ask Little Xi about three hours later when she wakes up. She said that Little Xi is taking a nap."

"Little Xi is taking a nap?" Lu Jin Sheng said in surprise.

Not only was Lu Jin Sheng surprised, by everyone else was surprised as well because Mo Xi seldom took a nap even when she was pregnant. More importantly, Mo Xi's nap never lasted more than half an hour because she said that it would affect her sleep at night, and it would not be good for her and the babies to sleep late.

"Mm. I was surprised as well. However, Mo Chen also texted and said that Little Xi was taking a nap."

"Did something happen to her?"

"I am not sure. However, I have a bad feeling because when Mo Ling called me just now, her voice sounded as though she just cried. But when I asked her what was wrong, she said that it was nothing."

Grandfather Lu and the others all became worried, "Let's ask Mo Ling and Mo Chen when we see them."

"Mm. That's what I intend to do as well."

Xiao House

In the basement.

"Mom!" Xiao Lan Yu exclaimed from inside the basement.

Xiao Lan Yu had been locked up in the basement since Xiao Rong Yao entered the hospital because Song Qiao didn't want Xiao Lan Yu to cause any more trouble than she already did. Moreover, Song Qiao didn't have the energy to scold Xiao Lan Yu.

Shen Yu Rou and Shen Feng Xing had been staying at the hospital to look after Xiao Rong Yao and Song Qiao, so they hadn't returned home. Hence, Xiao Lan Yu hadn't seen any one of them at all.

The only people that Xiao Lan Yu had seen were the housekeeper and the workers.

Initially, the housekeeper and the workers wanted to starve Xiao Lan Yu to punish her for whatever that she had done. However, they decided not to because they weren't the masters of the house.

The housekeeper and the workers in Xiao House had been working under Xiao Rong Yao and Song Qiao ever since the two got married. Hence, they were all loyal towards Xiao Rong Yao and Song Qiao, and knowing that Xiao Lan Yu had done such awful things and even caused Xiao Rong Yao to be in the hospital, they were all furious. That was why they wanted to punish Xiao Lan Yu in place of the two elders.

Shen Feng Xing was the CEO of Shen Corporation and Xiao Corporation, but he had no idea that Shen Nan Kun had planned all those things because Shen Nan Kun was the President of the company. Hence, when those things happened, he too was dumbfounded.

Although Shen Nan Kun didn't use the name of Shen Corporation or Xiao Corporation when he appeared on the banquet, he, being the President of Shen and Xiao Corporation, would be equivalent to the two corporations having bonds with Heinrich Corporation.

Heinrich Corporation was managed by Donovan and Zhou Dong, but Shen Nan Kun being Zhou Dong's son would mean that he was one of the leaders of the company as well. Therefore, to the outside world, it would mean that Heinrich Corporation, Shen Corporation, and Xiao Corporation were one entity.

Furthermore, because of Shen Nan Kun's plans and doings, Shen Feng Xing couldn't continue to work in either company. He didn't want others to think that the Xiao family was involved in those dirty works to monopolize the county. Hence, on the very night that Zhou Dong appeared, he resigned as the CEO.

Shen Yu Rou took leave of absence from the school as well to look after the two elders.

Even though Shen Yu Rou and Shen Feng Xing respected Shen Nan Kun and Xiao Lan Yu as their parents, they would never tolerate people who harmed others for their own benefits. Even if those people were their blood-related parents, they would never allow such things to happen. Hence, they were disappointed in them.

Shen Yu Rou was a little angry at Shen Nan Kun after all he had doted on her since she was born. Despite the fact that Shen Nan Kun was always busy and rarely had time for the family, he still cared for her whenever he could. Hence, she never thought that the person who had been doting on her would do such things.

Unlike Shen Yu Ning, who was very close to Xiao Lan Yu, Shen Yu Rou was much closer to Xiao Rong Yao and Song Qiao because when Shen Nan Kun wasn't around, they would be the one teaching her and caring for her. So, she wasn't very affected by Xiao Lan Yu's state.

Shen Feng Xing, on the other hand, was adopted. Hence, no matter how thankful he was to Shen Nan Kun and Xiao Lan Yu for adopting him, he was never that close to them as they only adopted him and never raised him. However, he was close to Xiao Rong Yao and Song Qiao because he was raised by them, just like Shen Yu Rou. That was also the reason why the two of them were very close.

Xiao Rong Yao and Song Qiao had taught Shen Feng Xing and Shen Yu Rou to be morally upright people, and that was why they were disappointed when they found out about what happened.
