Chapter 546: Will He Be Really That Nice?
That night, Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao went home. Mama Sheng happily welcomed the young couple. “You have just got married. Don’t you want to rest? You got so busy with your own stuff the moment you’re back in Jianchuan.”
“We’re not tired, Mother,” Mu Qiqi said quickly.
“Eighth Brother, you are someone’s husband now. You have to think more about Xiao Qi. Don’t be as selfish as you used to be.”
Sheng Xiao did not say anything, but he frowned.
After hearing this, Mu Qiqi hurriedly spoke for Sheng Xiao. “Mother, Xiaoxiao has changed a lot in the past six months. He is a very matured and charming man already.”
Mama Sheng looked at her son and then at Mu Qiqi. “It’s your contribution that Eighth Brother has changed.”
“Alright, Mother, Qi’er is tired. We shall go back to our room.”
“Wait up. Huang Yao is in a mess now. That nasty old man will surely want you to go back. Don’t help him, I tell you. Think about your father. He nearly died in the fire in Jing Ting. I will never forgive that old man for that.”
“It’ll never be our turn to get involved with that.” Came his reply.
After that, Sheng Xiao brought Mu Qiqi back to the room upstairs.
“What did you talk about with the old man this evening?” Mu Qiqi couldn’t help asking. “Is he thinking of using you again?”
“He seemed to have regretted it. But who knows if he is sincere or faking it.” Sheng Xiao put down the baggage and pushed Mu Qiqi toward the bathroom. “Take a bath first.”
“Will he be really that nice?” Mu Qiqi mumbled while taking off her clothes. Before she entered the bathroom, she leaned against the door and asked Sheng Xiao. “Aren’t you coming?”
“Who am I to be with you? Huh?”
“We’ve been a couple for a long time but you still like this.” Mu Qiqi walked to Sheng Xiao’s front and pulled his collar.
Sheng Xiao chuckled and lifted Mu Qiqi. “What long-time couple? We’re newlyweds.”
…
The next morning, Grandpa Sheng went out with his butler as usual. He appeared to be going to meet his friends.
So, Gu Ziling was not suspicious of it. She dared not cause trouble in front of Grandpa Sheng already. Getting hit by Grandpa Sheng yesterday was a first for her.
She realized that she and Sheng Kai had been in fact a bit too aggressive. Grandpa Sheng was only a little under the weather and they were already so wary of everyone. Grandpa Sheng had seen through their intention. It was so useless to do anything.
Besides, with the situation Sheng Kai was in, it was not worth the loss.
If Sheng Kai could not handle the project with Tiffany well, it was almost definite that he would not be able to keep his position as the CEO.
Now, it’s Grandpa Sheng’s turn to be wary of Second Brother and his wife.
After arriving at the meeting place, Grandpa Sheng saw his personal lawyer right away.
He said, “I want to make amendments to my will. Are you ready?”
“Chairman, you can just tell me.” The lawyer had made thorough preparation.
“I want to change the distribution of my shares. Sheng Xiao will get thirty percent of my shares and the rest of my six grandchildren will share the remaining seventy percent equally.”
The lawyer was stunned as he heard what Grandpa Sheng told him. “Sheng Xiao, Eighth Young Master? Are you sure?”
“Definitely.” Grandpa Sheng nodded. “I was thinking of not giving Second Brother any at first. But, I’m old already. My heart softens.”
“Why are you making such changes?” The lawyer could not understand. Because he felt that Sheng Xiao hurt him a lot in the past.
“I have many grandchildren but they are mediocre at best. Only Second Brother is a bit more up to par, but his greed has grown too much in the past six months. He is not someone who can be easily controlled. If he seizes power from me, he will not treat the other Shengs with kindness. Third Brother is loyal and tolerant, but he is not talented in managing a company. He can be the knight, but he cannot be the king. After much consideration, I think only Eighth Brother is capable enough to stabilize the Sheng family. After waking up from the coma that day, I suddenly realized that I might fall and not be able to get up again in the future. However, I must not leave behind a mess. Otherwise, the brothers will kill each other.”
The lawyer nodded. “But Eighth Young Master has Zhongteng now. Will he be willing to take over Huang Yao?”
“You also think he won’t, right?”
Grandpa Sheng chuckled. “But I bet he will not just stand there and watch. I finally think I understand him a bit more. He might look ruthless and firm, but there is still softness in his heart.”
“So what are you going to do with the will?”
“Three copies. One I will keep and one in your hands. As for the other copy… give it to Eighth Brother. But tell him not to open it.”
“You are worried that…”
“Second Brother and his wife are too selfish and greedy. I’m worried that when the time comes, they will have other thoughts,” Grandpa Sheng answered. “There are things that can only be understood at the end. I was too stubborn in the past.”
The lawyer nodded at Grandpa Sheng’s words. “I will prepare for the notarization.”
Sheng Xiao might not need, or want, the thirty percent of his shares, but he would not let Second Brother succeed in his scheme.
So just in case Second Brother and his wife oppressed Third Brother after his passing, Eighth Brother would have the reason and excuse to intervene.
It was he who brought the family to the wrong path due to his recklessness. Now, he just wanted peace in the Sheng family.
…
On the other hand, in Europe, with Gu Ziling’s reminder, Sheng Kai finally got in touch with the eldest young master of the Tiffany family after much effort.
The other party thought it was Sheng Bowen who had come, which was why he invited Sheng Kai to be a guest in his manor.
Sheng Kai thought he might have a chance to revert the situation, so he relaxed a bit. But when he entered the manor, the eldest young master was shocked.
Because the person who came was not Sheng Bowen.
When Sheng Kai saw the changes on his face, he quickly stretched out his hands. However, the eldest young master of the Tiffany family said to him, “I know you. The one I want to see is your brother.”
Sheng Kai’s face turned gloomy. He spoke in perfect English, “My brother did not come. He let me visit you instead.”
“It’s impossible. You colluded with my brother. If it weren’t for your support, my brother would not have won the position as the CEO of Tiffany & Co.. It’s you who held the candle to the devil and you still have the guts to come to my house?”
The eldest young master of the Tiffany family threw Sheng Kai an ugly look. “I know why you here. But, I will not give my answer before I see Sheng Bowen.”
Sheng Kai felt even more miserable when he heard him. “Bowen is not qualified to represent Huang Yao.”
“To me, he is my friend and you are my enemy. You better leave now.” The other party ordered him to leave. “Leave my manor. I feel disgusted when I see you. Don’t even think about me helping you to overcome your problem. It serves you right!”
