Chapter 646: Chapter 646
The butler let him out and saw him to the car that would take him back to Mingxin Hospital.
The three sisters present seemed to have only a vague understanding of what Xiao Jianming had just said.
"Dad," Xiao Shuzhu and Xiao Shuju walked up to Xiao Jianming together, their voices trembling as they spoke, "we’re sorry, we weren’t able to stop them from—taking our eldest sister."
"Shumei must have been prepared for this." Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⟡𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵
"Dad?" The three sisters exclaimed in unison, surprised.
What preparations had Xiao Shumei made?
When it comes to knowing one’s own children, no one is better than their parents. The eldest daughter, Xiao Shumei, was someone who didn’t talk much and preferred to keep her thoughts to herself.
Xiao Jianming’s face was solemn, not because his daughter had been kidnapped, but because of the elaborate schemes his daughter had undertaken. He said, "Shumei must have been prepared that those people would definitely not let her off, because she had betrayed them. Thus, she could only force their hand."
"Why? Why would my eldest sister force the other party to harm her?" Xiao Shuju asked anxiously.
Xiao Shulan and Xiao Shuzhu seemed to understand something and looked down first.
"It’s to test—" Xiao Jianming said, "to see the extent of the capital that the other party has, to see if they can swallow up Changda’s funds. If the opponents were well-prepared financially, they would have no need to rush into taking action against someone. After Shumei’s test, the situation has become very clear. Those who come to devour Changda’s funds are not just insufficient—"
"But also borrowed money—" Xiao Shulan continued her father’s words, her expression equally grim, "so, they can’t afford to delay any longer. To secure absolute control of the shares, and they must act swiftly to seize the trademark rights of Changda, which are the property rights of our mother’s house, but all of these items are in the hands of a mysterious person."
Who exactly was this mysterious person holding the property rights of their mother’s house?
"Dad, do you know who took away mom’s house?" Xiao Shuju was again the first to ask.
Xiao Jianming shook his head: "I don’t know."
"But—" Xiao Shuzhu had a question that everyone had and wanted to ask their father, "Why didn’t mom leave the house to dad?"
"Your mother was a wise woman. Since ancient times, who has kept all their wealth in one place? You’ve all studied investments and should understand this principle. The wealthier people are, the more they must diversify and categorize their assets. This is to avoid a situation where a single attack could lead to instant ruin and bankruptcy." Xiao Jianming said this with a slightly critical tone towards his four daughters, "Greed is human nature. That you love money is not wrong, but the mistake lies in not knowing how to love money."
Putting it plainly, this was a struggle for wealth, manifested in many different forms that were certainly not limited to just the attack on Changda Company.
As Xiao Jianming had said, wealth must be diversified and categorized. It’s not just about one company’s assets.
Upon hearing this, the three daughters of the Xiao Family shuddered internally. They had guessed that their parents left behind more than just Changda Company, but now, after hearing it confirmed, they felt a wave of fear inside because of what Xiao Jianming said next.
"Don’t think having money is all good. When you’re coveted by all kinds of people in the world, your heart will suffer unimaginable torment and hardship. It’s all a heavy burden to bear."
As Xiao Jianming uttered these words, the three sisters could feel that their father’s back seemed to bend a little, their father had indeed grown older.
Silence suddenly permeated the room.
