Chapter 7: Teacher... Mom...
Editor: Atlas Studios
Xiao Li's mother, Wen Lan, was born in a scholarly family and had excellent grades since she was young. She attended a top university in B City.
Xiao Zhengnan was a businessman. When the two of them first met, Xiao Zhengnan was just a small boss of a small shop in B City.
The two of them met and fell in love with each other, but the Wen family objected. Wen Lan resigned from her position in the university and followed Xiao Zhengnan back to his hometown, C City.
After returning to C City, Xiao Zhengnan's business grew bigger and bigger. Wen Lan also continued to be a university professor in C City.
The two of them had Xiao Li not long after their marriage. They lived happily all these years.
Wen Lan passed away two years ago due to illness, and Xiao Zhengnan became haggard after her death. Nowadays, he was plagued by ill health.
When Xiao Zhengnan heard Xiao Li's words, he nodded silently. "Let's go visit your mother later!
Tell her about your marriage too."
Xiao Li nodded. "Okay."
In the cemetery in the suburbs, Xiao Zhengnan, Xiao Li, and Qin Xiao were all dressed in black as they stood in front of a gravestone…
Xiao Zhengnan squatted down and caressed the photo on the gravestone. "Ah Lan, we're here to see you."
Our Nini is married. In the past, you always told me that Nini would definitely look beautiful in a wedding dress. It's a pity you didn't see it…
The person she married was your favorite pupil. The two children are doing quite well now…"
Xiao Li looked at Qin Xiao in surprise. Qin Xiao was her mother's student. Why didn't she know?
Seeing that she still hadn't remembered him, Qin Xiao shook his head with a smile…
Previously, when Xiao Li did not escape the marriage, he thought that she had remembered him. It turned out that she still did not…
Xiao Zhengnan said a few more words before giving his seat to Xiao Li and Qin Xiao. Xiao Li went forward and did not say anything. She only silently placed the flowers…
She didn't know what to say. It had been two years, but Xiao Li still found it hard to accept that her mother was gone. Especially now. Even her father was seriously ill.
After Xiao Li was done with the flowers, Qin Xiao walked forward and put the flowers down. "Teacher… Mom… leave Nini to me. Don't worry."
Hearing Qin Xiao call her "Nini", Xiao Li was stunned.
Other than Xiao Zhengnan and Wen Lan, this was the first time she had heard her nickname from someone else.
After Xiao Li and Qin Xiao were done with the flowers, Xiao Zhengnan whispered to Wen Lan, "Ah Lan, I'll come and keep you company in a while. Wait for me for a while. Be alone for a while!"
Hearing Xiao Zhengnan's words, Xiao Li's tears flowed instantly. She walked forward and held Xiao Zhengnan's arm. "Dad…"
Xiao Zhengnan patted Xiao Li's hand. "Let's go back!"
When they returned home, Xiao Zhengnan's personal lawyer, Lawyer Fang, was already waiting at the Xiao residence.
Xiao Zhengnan said to Xiao Li, "Nini, Dad called Lawyer Fang over today to let you know the work arrangement of our company after Dad leaves."
"Lawyer Fang, give the will to Miss."
Lawyer Fang nodded, took a document from his briefcase, and handed it to Xiao Li.
Xiao Li took it and read it. The contents of the will were the same as in her previous life. All the shares in the company were left to her.
Xiao Zhengfang and the others would only have the right to work in the company.
In her previous life, Xiao Zhengnan had made the same arrangements because he considered that Xiao Li had never taken over the company. If he let Xiao Li run the company, she would not know where to start.
Therefore, Xiao Zhengnan gave all his shares to Xiao Li, but kept Xiao Zhengfang and the others' positions in the company.
To put it bluntly, he wanted Xiao Zhengfang and the others to manage the company for Xiao Li. If Xiao Li followed this will, she would not be at a disadvantage.
She could only blame herself for being too stupid in her previous life. After experiencing such an unforeseen bereavement, she placed her trust in her uncle's family.
Her eldest aunt had cried in front of her, saying that her uncle could not manage the company because he did not have any shares in the company. The shareholders would not listen to him…
It was the same for her eldest cousin. As the people in the company did not listen to him, many projects could not be carried out.
Her eldest aunt said that they were one family. It made no difference who she gave the shares to. If she gave the shares to her eldest uncle and the others, they would not take her dividends and it would also be convenient for her eldest uncle and the others to work.
Xiao Li, being muddle-headed and careless, handed over her shares…
When signing the share transfer agreement, Eldest Aunt included some other documents. Xiao Li signed them without looking carefully.
With this, everything that Xiao Zhengnan had left for her was gone, and she ended up on the streets.
Xiao Li retracted her thoughts and looked at Lawyer Fang. "Lawyer Fang, there are still some things we need to discuss regarding the will. Go back first and come back tomorrow…"
Lawyer Fang looked at Xiao Zhengnan. After Xiao Zhengnan nodded, he stood up and left.
After Lawyer Fang left and Xiao Li placed the will on the table, she said, "Dad, there's something I want to tell you, but you have to promise not to be angry first."
Xiao Zhengnan nodded…
Xiao Li looked at Qin Xiao, who said calmly, "Dad, what happened to Xiao Ting and Xiao Yan was all my arrangement."
As for why I did this? It was because Xiao Yan had wanted to do this to Nini.
On the night before Nini and I got married, Xiao Yan encouraged Nini to jump out of the window to escape. She even said that she would meet her downstairs.
But that night, she had placed a large iron panel covered with broken glass on the lawn under her room window.
Nini did not jump when she found out. Nini told me about it at the wedding the next day. I sent someone to take a look at our lawn. Although the iron panel had been removed, it was only thrown at a place not far from our house.
The broken glass on the lawn had been cleared, but there was a piece or two left behind…"
As Qin Xiao finished speaking, Xiao Zhengnan's entire aura turned cold…
Seeing this, Xiao Li shook Xiao Zhengnan's hand. "Dad, you agreed not to get angry."
Xiao Zhengnan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "What else?"
Qin Xiao continued, "After my investigation, I discovered that Xiao Yan wasn't the only one there that night. Xiao Ting helped her.
I also got someone to bribe Xiao Zhengfang's housekeeper. From what she said about Xiao Yan, Chang Fang knew about it and supported it.
After knowing this, I got someone to investigate Xiao Zhengfang and Xiao Teng's matters in the company yesterday. I found out a lot of things…"
As Qin Xiao spoke, he took the briefcase he had brought this morning and handed the document to Xiao Zhengnan.
Xiao Zhengnan took the document. The more he read, the darker his expression became. In the end, he was so angry that he kept coughing…
Xiao Li quickly calmed Xiao Zhengnan down and Qin Xiao ran over to pour him a glass of water.
After Xiao Zhengnan calmed down and drank some water, he said, "I didn't know that my good brother and nephew had done so much behind my back.
If I don't realize it now, you'll be cheated by them after I leave!"
Xiao Li lowered her head. She had been cheated by them in her previous life!
