The dark night seems calm, but in reality, there are many turbulent places.
Restless hearts are unable to calm down.
Just like An Baowei, she can’t understand and accept the reality in front of her.
She had only gone abroad with her boyfriend for half a month, and when she came back, everything at home had changed?
The largest shareholder of the An’s Group is now An Qixiao.
Her father announced his retirement and will no longer be involved in the affairs of the group.
Her mother and elder brother were removed from their positions in the group and were kicked out of the old house, only able to temporarily reside in a rented small apartment.
“Temporarily reside? What does that mean?”
An Baowei, dressed in luxury fashion, asked with a great reaction.
“It means we will temporarily live here. After a month, your Dad and I will receive the divorce certificate, and we have to leave this city forever and never set foot in it again.”
Mother An lowered her head, making it hard to see her expression.
But from the weariness in her voice, one could hear how helpless she felt towards the reality.
An Jingxian also hung his head silently with a dispirited look on his stubbled face.
If it weren’t for the one-month cooling-off period required for divorce, they would have probably left this city long ago.
“Mom, why does Dad want to divorce you?” An Baowei couldn’t help but shout loudly, feeling extremely angry.
She continued, “Dad is the one who cheated and had an illegitimate child. He is the one who’s at fault. Why is it you, Mom, who’s being left with nothing?”
As soon as her words fell, Mother An promptly corrected her, “No, Xiaowei, it’s not just me who’s being left with nothing. It’s also you and your brother. You won’t get a share of the family property in the future…”
“Ah, sister! Mom, sister fainted!”
“Xiaowei! Xiaowei! Jingxian, quickly call an ambulance!”
“Mom, calling an ambulance is expensive. Let’s try pressing her acupressure points first…”
On the other side, at An’s old house.
Qi Xiao stood in the small garden on the top floor of the villa, one hand behind his back and the other swirling the red wine glass in his hand. He looked up at the stars in the sky with an expressionless face.
Behind him was Chen Yu, who had climbed up the ranks and now served as an assistant to the chairman.
With his elevated status and position, Chen Yu was now full of confidence, dressed in a much higher level of attire than before.
If asked about the saying “when one person prospers, the whole family prospers,” Chen Yu could definitely talk at length, sharing his insights and experiences on these eight words.
“Chairman An, we have already arranged for you to visit H Country. They welcome your visit anytime,” Chen Yu respectfully reported to Qi Xiao’s back.
Because Qi Xiao had already returned to the An family and to gain the trust of the entire An Group, he had changed his surname to An, and his full name was now An Qixiao.
However, in Qi Xiao’s heart, he was not willing to change his surname and preferred to be called Qi Xiao by others.
The stars were particularly bright tonight, twinkling in the sky, reminding Qi Xiao of Shi Yunzi involuntarily.
For him, Shi Yunzi was like a star, seemingly close at hand but actually far away on the horizon.
He took a sip of red wine, still facing the starry sky, and asked the person behind him, “Have there been any recent updates from Shi Yunzi?”
“Yes, Chairman An!”
Chen Yu suddenly remembered and answered excitedly, “Our people have noticed that early this morning, Yan Tingshen dismissed all the servants at home, and Miss Shi has not left the house all day for some unknown reason.”
“What?” Qi Xiao turned around abruptly, “What’s happening over there?”
Chen Yu lowered his head, “I don’t know yet, I will ask.”
He stepped aside and made a phone call.
Then, he looked at Qi Xiao with a subtle expression, “Chairman An, it turns out that… Yan Tingshen and Miss Shi are preparing to start a family…”
*Crash—*
It was the sound of the wine glass shattering.
“Prepare the tickets, we’re going to H Country!”
“Yes, Chairman An!”
