As she spoke, she pulled her hand even harder into her clothes.
“Enough!” Xu Chengfeng pulled his hand out mercilessly. When Zuo Yue staggered backward, he suddenly raised his hand to hold her chin and looked at her coldly.
The atmosphere suddenly became cold and silent. Zuo Yue was still staring at him. Looking at his figure shrouded in a cold aura, her heart was really depressed and uncomfortable. After so many days, all the hatred and bitterness finally found a chance to vent, but the man in front of her was not affected at all.
She raised her hand and grabbed his wrist tightly.”So you can still lose your temper at me? Didn’t you say that you don’t have any feelings for me? I thought nothing I did would affect you!”
“Don’t forget what you said!” Xu Chengfeng removed his hand from her chin and turned around with his back to her.””Go change your clothes. I’ll only give you ten minutes. I’ll drive you back to the Xu family’s house in ten minutes. Otherwise, you can take a taxi back.”
Zuo Yue was stunned. She turned to look at the snow and ice outside.
She was just acting on impulse. After thinking about it, she decided not to go too far. She only looked at him for a while more before grabbing the bag of clothes on the sofa and quickly returning to her room.
She heard the sound of the bedroom door being slammed behind her.
Xu Chengfeng stood still until he vaguely heard Zuo Yue throwing her clothes on the bed. Xu Chengfeng slowly raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.
However, when his hand touched his forehead, the fragrance of a young girl wafted into his nose again and again. He suddenly put his hand down and placed it on the collar of his shirt. He unbuttoned a few buttons fiercely as if he was extremely hot. In the end, he still felt that it was difficult to breathe, so he simply opened the door and walked out.
*****
Xu family.
Zuo Yue, who had been sent back to the Xu family for a whole day, sat in her room.
Although his grandfather’s funeral had ended, there was still an endless stream of guests from the Xu family. After all, they were a local Chinese family in the United States, and the traditions between Chinese families were too troublesome.
The family would not be peaceful for the next few days, and Xu Chengfeng naturally had to shoulder the responsibility of shouldering these heavy responsibilities with Xu Yuan.
The room was very quiet. Although it was very cold outside, Zuo Yue still opened the window. The cold wind blew through the curtains, causing a slight sound. The slightly cooling air made people feel much more awake.
Zuo Yue sat on the rattan chair by the window with her legs curled up. Her head leaned against the back of the chair. The cold air invaded her shoulders and back. She shivered and got up to close the window. Then, she turned around and sat back on the rattan chair. She bent her knees and hugged her legs, not moving at all like a statue.
She had been suffering from insomnia for the past few days.
Ever since she was sent back yesterday, her mother had asked her a few questions about her whereabouts the night before. She had only casually explained and then went straight into her room without leaving.
She sat in this position for the entire night.
..
“He was brought back to the Xu family ten years ago, but he hasn’t been able to hand over all the evidence to prove his identity. Previously, Old Master Xu was willing to acknowledge this son, and we, the people in the company, couldn’t do anything about it. However, now that it involves the Xu Corporation, we have no choice but to stand up and protest. If the Xu family’s company and assets are so logically handed over to a person with an unknown background, we don’t agree!”
“Moreover, the KP Group had a few projects with our Xu Corporation’s enemies in the early years. Who knows if some people will be ambitious enough to swallow the Xu Corporation’s assets and remove the Xu Corporation’s name.”
“Since you’re the president of the KP Group, it’s best if you don’t inherit the Xu family’s company. Otherwise, won’t the Xu family be swallowed up? From a well-known Chinese group to a subsidiary company of a Russian financial company, what was this? What do you take us elders of the Xu family for?”
“We didn’t get to see the latest DNA evidence until Old Mr. Xu passed away. Now that Old Mr. Xu has passed away, we won’t acknowledge the existence of this so-called heir! If the Xu family wants to forcefully hand over the ownership and shares of the Xu Corporation to Xu Chengfeng, we will all resign!”
Early the next morning, Zuo Yue had just come downstairs when she saw many people sitting in a circle in the hall.
The elders of the Xu Corporation were all standing and sitting there with their brows furrowed.
Xu Yuan stood at the side and was talking to them. She repeatedly explained that there was absolutely no problem with Xu Chengfeng’s background. She even took out her grandfather’s last words and all the letters he had written before he died.
Meanwhile, Xu Chengfeng, who was in the middle of the conversation, sat on the single-seater sofa at the side as if it had nothing to do with him. His slender legs were casually crossed, and his eyes were indifferent as he watched everything in the hall. It was as if the people those people were talking about had nothing to do with him, as if all the clamoring and denial in front of him had nothing to do with him.
Zuo Yue’s gaze only swept past them once before she turned around and went back upstairs as if she had nothing to do.
“Wait.”
However, Xu Chengfeng, who had never intended to say anything about the inheritance, suddenly spoke. His voice was directed at Zuo Yue.
Zuo Yue stopped in her tracks. She hesitated for a moment before turning around. Her eyes were neither cold nor warm as she looked in Xu Chengfeng’s direction.
Xu Chengfeng did not seem to notice her obvious reluctance. He casually raised two fingers together, tilted his head, and stroked his temples lazily. Then, he put down his hand and straightened his sitting posture. At the same time, he curled his lips slightly and said calmly,”It is indeed inappropriate for the merger of the HR Group and the Xu Corporation. I have considered everyone’s concerns. The reason why I have not expressed my position is that there is another person in this family who is more suitable to inherit everything in the Xu Corporation.”
The few directors and senior figures who were still expressing their attitude just now looked at Xu Chengfeng in confusion, and then followed his sudden shift of gaze.
When everyone’s gaze fell on Zuo Yue, even Xu Yuan looked over. She instantly frowned and turned around to look at Xu Chengfeng.
“You mean Miss Zuo?”
“How is this possible? Miss Zuo’s surname was Zuo. Although she was Old Master Xu’s granddaughter, her surname was still Zuo. How could the Xu family change hands just like that?”
“That’s right. Moreover, Miss Zuo is only eighteen years old. She has nothing to do with the company’s matters! She can’t!”
Zuo Yue did not want to be the center of the conversation. She only looked at those people coldly and did not say anything. However, she was already dissatisfied with their attitude.
What did he mean by she couldn’t? She spoke as if she was an outsider!
“If she can’t do it, I can’t do it. Can you?”Xu Chengfeng was still sitting calmly on the sofa, but he suddenly said this with a faint smile.
The air in the hall seemed to freeze because of his cold words.
