Nan Xiao smiled and ruffled her hair, "Did Dad scare them away?"
Lan Yu Xi nodded with a smile, "You could guess that too?"
"Dad's character of hating evil is definitely something he would do."
"The Zheng family really needed Dad to deal with them. Mom just learned how Dad provoked the Zheng family, and it made me laugh so hard."
Nan Xiao slightly hooked the corner of his lips, "I've only paid attention to the Zheng family in the past couple of days. This family isn't good. They are very snobbish and realistic. Ming Zi Cheng's choice of responsibility isn't very good."
Lan Yu Xi tidied her hair, "I heard from Er Wan that they're just using Old Man Zheng as a transition. He already has a suitable candidate and will make Old Man Zheng step down within two years."
Nan Xiao frowned and thought for a moment, "Who would be his ideal person? How come I can't guess?"
"I asked for a few names, and he said none of them were it."
"Something so confidential, no matter how good their relationship is, he wouldn't tell you."
Lan Yu Xi nodded in agreement.
Nan Xiao asked, "Is Second Brother really serious about Zheng Pei Pei?"
"Yes. He's more than just concerned about Zheng Pei Pei."
"It's hard for someone to forget if they have someone else in their heart. Back then, I clearly knew we had no future, yet I couldn't forget you for four years. How could Second Brother change so quickly?"
"..." Lan Yu Xi tilted her little head and looked at him.
Nan Xiao smiled and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
Lan Yu Xi pursed her lips and snorted, "You may not have forgotten me, but you acted so well, it made me sad for a long time."
Nan Xiao shook his head helplessly, "It's all the old man's fault for causing such a big misunderstanding."
"The old man has already started preparing to go to Norcas. I don't know if my maternal grandmother will see him."
"Whether your maternal grandmother will see him, I don't know, but I do know that he won't be able to see Zi Xin for a while."
"Oh? What's going on?"
"Nan Corporation and Lan Corporation have several projects to coordinate. My eldest brother will bring Zi Xin over in a few days."
Lan Yu Xi scratched her head, "I didn't know eldest brother was bringing Zi Xin over?"
"He didn't want me to tell you. He said it was a surprise for you."
Lan Yu Xi smiled, "Then I'll pretend I don't know."
"By the way, Fourth Brother went to the company to pick up Qi Yue today."
Lan Yu Xi was surprised again, "Have they developed so quickly?"
"Not to that extent yet. It's said that Fourth Brother wants Qi Yue to help him look at a restaurant."
"Does Fourth Brother want to stay here then?"
"I think he will stay for Qi Yue."
"Then should I start looking for houses for them?"
"With so many rooms in the Half-Mountain Villas, do we need to find a house?"
"I'm just worried that when they get married, my sisters-in-law might not be used to living there."
"The houses are already there. Before they have that idea, don't bring it up, lest they misunderstand and think you don't want them to live there."
"Oh, I really didn't think that far ahead. I'll listen to you and won't mention it."
"I've bought several houses in the Half-Mountain Villas. Whoever moves out can have any one of them."
Lan Yu Xi knitted her small brows and looked over, "Are you crazy! Why buy so many houses?"
"It's not that many. All the mountains combined have less than ten villas, and Joyce even occupies one of them."
Lan Yu Xi blinked, "That's not right. Didn't you hand over all your money? Where did you get so much money?"
Nan Xiao smiled and looked at her, "I traded land for it."
"Which piece of land did you trade away?"
"Cheng Bei Xin Village."
Lan Yu Xi's eyes widened instantly, "You traded the entire Cheng Bei Xin Village for a few villas?"
"I gave up half of it," Nan Xiao said with a mysterious smile.
Lan Yu Xi's big eyes rolled, "Is there something wrong with the half you gave up?"
"Clever! The government plans to build a subway station there. That land will be requisitioned soon."
"Old Qiao is your comrade. It's not good to scheme against him like this, is it?"
"Old Qiao lost the Half-Mountain Villas in a gamble with the Xue family. When I heard about it, I directly set a trap for the Xue family and exchanged the land for the villas."
"Aren't you afraid the Xue family will come after you for an accounting?"
"I divided the land into two parts and let them choose. They chose that piece of land themselves. If they come looking for me, I have a hundred things to say to them."
Nan Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I've hinted to the old man of the Xue family that Nan Xiao is not a Nan family member, and he didn't react at all. This is just an appetizer."
Lan Yu Xi pouted, "Do you know why he married her even though he knew Nan Xiao wasn't a Nan family member?"
"I heard that Nan Jiang gave Nan Xiao the Nan Corporation shares he held as dowry."
"Shares are one reason, and the other is that Nan Xiao is pregnant."
Nan Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly, "No wonder. I thought Huang Xiu took Nan Xiao out so cleanly."
"Huang Xiu cleared Nan Xiao out?"
"Yes."
"Are all my evidence useless?"
"Huang Xiu admitted that she had called Nan Xiao, but she also said that every time she called, she was asking Nan Xiao for money."
"How many days until Qi Yue can acknowledge her ancestors?"
"Two days."
"Qi Yue must acknowledge her ancestors before Nan Xiao gets married, and then get back the shares that belong to her. A fake, marrying into the Xue family with Nan Corporation shares, isn't that leaving a hidden danger for Nan Corporation?"
"Can Qi Yue get those shares back?" Nan Xiao asked suspiciously.
"Yes! I've been sending people to investigate all the elders and young ones of the Nan family these past few days, and I coincidentally found the will left by the fourth old lady before her death. She divided the shares in her hand into five portions, giving one portion to each granddaughter as dowry. That fake Nan Xiao is not qualified to take those shares."
"I'll have Nan Yang confirm it again, and then proceed with legal procedures."
"You really need to contact Nan Yang. Although Nan Jiang has acknowledged Qi Yue, he hasn't transferred Qi Yue's household registration. Rather than letting him drag it out, it's better for Nan Yang to get Qi Yue an independent household registration book, so she can change her ID card."
Nan Xiao nodded, "I'll call Nan Yang when we get back."
The two quickly returned to the Half-Mountain Villas. Mu Mu saw her parents return and ran over excitedly.
Nan Xiao smiled and picked her up, "Have you gotten tired from all the lessons today?"
"Not tired, Daddy! Our family is getting livelier and livelier!"
Nan Xiao smiled and flicked her little nose, "Don't you love lively the most? Now it's great, you'll have even more sisters and aunts to dote on you."
Mu Mu hummed, her big eyes inadvertently darting towards the guest room on the first floor.
Lan Yu Xi followed her gaze, "Mu Mu, is there something fun in the guest room?"
Mu Mu raised her chubby little hands and covered her eyes, "No, there's nothing!"
