Du Feiyang's strategy of advancing by retreating and removing the support from under the pot ended the Du family's internal strife. He celebrated at home with Xie Sui, thanking Brother Xie for his advice.
Lin Wanwan personally cooked a delicious meal for them. Eating at home felt safer than outside. Who knew if Du Feiyun would be desperate and attack him?
"You still need to be careful. Du Feiyun hasn't been stripped of power, he's not dead. Guard against them hiring assassins to deal with you."
"I know. I've hired the best bodyguards and have people watching them. He has no manpower in the mainland, so there shouldn't be any problems."
"That's good. Congratulations, Young Master Du, on obtaining the shares and starting a new career."
"Cheers! And thanks to Brother Xie's promotion. Whatever Brother Xie says to invest in, we'll do. Following Brother Xie is the key to a long-lasting career. Brother Xie is not just a stock wizard, but also a god of wealth."
Tang Ling said, "To flatter Brother Xie, you've really gone all out. I haven't heard you suck up to anyone like this before, but Brother Xie is worth it. Come, let's have a drink."
After drinking, He Mengchao said, "I'm not going to the mainland anymore. I'll stay in Hong Kong to keep watch and inform you promptly of any news."
Xie Sui was preparing to return. It was less than half a month until the New Year, and his family had been urging him to come home.
The focus for next year would be mainland development. Hong Kong would be managed by the current manager, and he would direct remotely and inspect from time to time, without personally managing it.
"Ah Chao, are you really not coming to the mainland with us? The mainland's development is very good now. Hong Kong is already like this, it's too difficult to make money. Why not start anew somewhere else?"
"No, I'll stay. You can give me the investment money, and Brother Xie can manage it for me. I won't go."
Xie Sui glanced at him, "You still haven't let go? You silently guarding like this isn't very manly. I don't approve."
"Who is it?"
Du Feiyang looked curious. Did Ah Chao have someone he liked?
Tang Ling said, "Who else could it be? Miss Guan, of course."
"When did he get involved with Miss Guan?"
"You think too highly of him. They aren't involved, it's a one-sided crush. Miss Guan is currently entangled with the Liu family father and son, and she doesn't even see him."
Speaking of the Liu family, Xie Sui's eyes darkened. The eldest son of the Liu family, Liu Kai, was also involved in this incident. Unfortunately, they couldn't bring him down.
Perhaps there would be a chance later. He remembered this grievance.
Sheng Ruyi also came to accompany them, integrating into their circle. It was clear that Lin Wanwan treated her genuinely well.
"Wanwan, come and eat. Stop fussing."
"There's still one more soup, it'll be ready soon."
Xie Sui was also a good cook. He got up to help her in the kitchen, "You go eat quickly. If the dishes get cold, your stomach might hurt. I've saved a chicken leg for you."
"That's great. You just need to wait for the soup to boil and thicken it with some starch water."
"Alright, my cooking is no worse than yours."
Xie Sui pushed her out and also prepared some fruit.
This apartment was small, and the kitchen was a bit cramped. They couldn't both turn around. Xie Sui took the opportunity to cut some fruit.
Sheng Ruyi came in and said, "Let me help you."
"No need, you're a guest, how can I let you work?"
"We're all family, is Mr. Xie being formal with me?"
Whether intentional or not, Sheng Ruyi's hand landed on Xie Sui's hand. Xie Sui instinctively pulled away and looked at her in astonishment.
Sheng Ruyi said shyly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, that..."
"It's okay, go and accompany Wanwan. I'll handle it here. I often cook at home, I'm not a kitchen disaster."
Sheng Ruyi had no choice but to go out. Xie Sui was silent for a moment and continued his work.
The meal was eaten lively, and the post-meal fruit was also consumed. Everyone went their separate ways.
"Ah Chao, you can drive Miss Sheng home."
Du Feiyang said, "I'll drive. It's my duty to drive beautiful women home."
Xie Sui said, "Forget it, don't bother the beautiful Miss Sheng. She's not like those minor celebrities you know. She's a true powerhouse. Don't embarrass yourself."
Sheng Ruyi said generously, "Mr. Xie flatters me. What powerhouse? I'm just an employee. If Young Master Du can drive me, it's my honor."
Du Feiyang grinned, but Xie Sui pulled him aside, "I have something to tell you. Ah Chao, you go ahead. Stay here for a while."
"Alright, Ah Chao, you must take her home."
He Mengchao nodded silently, and Sheng Ruyi had no choice but to get into his car.
Tang Ling had a driver accompanying him and waved goodbye. Du Feiyang stayed until the end.
Lin Wanwan said, "You guys talk, I'll go check on the children."
"Okay, leave the cleanup to me. You rest early."
Du Feiyang said, "Brother Xie, what do you want to tell me? You're being so mysterious, keeping it from others. Are you planning something bad? I'll never tell Sister-in-law."
"Get lost, you idiot. Am I like you, thinking with my lower body? Keep an eye on this Sheng Ruyi. Don't let her fool you with her words."
"Ah, Miss Sheng? Isn't she your person?"
"How is she my person? Wanwan has a good relationship with her, but I think Wanwan is too naive. This Miss Sheng is calculating, and I'm worried Wanwan will be deceived by her."
"Then just say it and kick her out."
"Why would I kick someone out for no reason? Besides, it's not easy for Wanwan to have a friend she can talk to. She hasn't done anything out of line. It's just my intuition. You're clueless and easily exploited."
"Brother Xie, you look down on me."
"You need to be someone who can be looked up to. Be careful lately. As long as your father isn't awake, you can't relax. Also, Du Yujie, be careful she doesn't lash out like a cornered dog and do something crazy."
"Okay, I'll remember."
Xie Sui asked A'Fei to escort him as well. He felt a sense of sentimentality. He hadn't worried about his own son this much, but he had encountered such a person.
When he returned home, Lin Wanwan was already tidying up. Xie Sui hugged her from behind, "Wanwan, you don't need to work so hard. I told you I'd do it. Let's go to bed."
"Go take a shower, you smell. My elder sister works hard taking care of the children, so I'll just do these things when I'm free."
"Then I'll take a shower. Can you reward me?"
Lin Wanwan put her hands on her hips, "I'll reward you with sleeping on the sofa."
Xie Sui shamelessly slept on the bed and even managed to get lucky before falling asleep satisfied.
Lin Wanwan looked at his face and smiled, then fell asleep too, having a good night's sleep and feeling energetic the next day.
Xie Sui was already on the phone. Luckily, he was with A'Fei last night. As expected, they encountered danger. A large truck almost hit them. Fortunately, A'Fei's driving skills were good and they dodged it. Soudan Novel Network.
"It must be Du Feiyun. Damn it, he dared to attack me! I'll kill him! I'm going to find him."
"There's no proof, so finding him won't help. First, send Du Yujie away, send her abroad. Get rid of one first."
"If I send her abroad, won't she be able to come back? She's always lived abroad, with a monthly living expense of one million. Am I sending her to enjoy life?"
"There are plenty of places abroad. Do you have to send her to a country she's familiar with? Can't you send her to Africa, Indonesia, or somewhere like northern Myanmar? Find a backward place to send her. Do I have to teach you this?"
Du Feiyang's eyes lit up, "Yes, Brother Xie is still more thoughtful."
After hanging up the phone, Du Feiyang found his assistant, took out a world map, and started searching. He asked the assistant, "Which country abroad is the farthest from here?"
"With airplanes now, it's convenient to go anywhere, at most one or two days. Where does Young Master Du want to find?"
"Backward, remote places, from which she can't run back."
"Mauritius?"
"Here? It's not that far."
The assistant said, "After a few transfers, it will take more than a week to return, which is quite far. Any farther and it would be off the planet."
"Alright, then here. You go apply for a passport, buy tickets, and arrange for escorts."
"Young Master Du, are you going?"
"Nonsense, do I want to live a good life and go to such a place to bask in the sun? Miss Three, she caused such a scandal, shouldn't she go abroad to avoid it?"
The assistant was dumbfounded, "Going abroad to this place? That place isn't safe. The government can't control the people, and there are wars all the time."
"Miss Three is learned and talented, is she afraid of war?"
The assistant understood. Du Feiyang didn't intend for Miss Three to return. "Okay, I'll arrange it."
Du Yujie was still regretting why she didn't crash him to death.
He was really lucky to have dodged it.
This time, it wasn't Du Feiyun causing trouble, but Du Yujie. She wanted to deal with Xie Sui. Unfortunately, the two of them were too cautious, only going between home and the company, never going far, not even leaving the city center. There was no opportunity.
She had never seen someone so afraid of death. She could only target Du Feiyang.
However, she didn't succeed. She was so angry that she scolded the bodyguards for being useless. Next time, she would not fail.
But she didn't get to the next time. Du Feiyang brought people to the Du family, convened a meeting of all family members, and sent Du Yujie abroad. If she stayed at home, the Du family would always be criticized, and they wouldn't be able to hold their heads up when they went out.
Except for the eldest wife's family, everyone else agreed. Who wouldn't want one less person competing for family property?
Du Feiyun had no choice this time, he was powerless. He had already considered letting Du Yujie go abroad to avoid trouble.
The matter was thus settled. Without delay, Du Yujie had to leave the next day. The family sent her to the airport and watched her leave, all breathing a sigh of relief. This matter was considered over.
However, they forgot to check the flight tickets. They thought Du Yujie was going to England where she had studied before. Who knew that Du Feiyang had sent her halfway across the world?
Du Yujie got on the plane, and by the time she knew the truth, it was too late. Her phone was confiscated, and she was escorted by bodyguards. She couldn't escape even if she wanted to.
By the time Du Feiyun knew the truth, it was already a year later. Du Yujie had an accident, and he was asked to claim her remains, only then did he learn about Du Feiyang's good deed.
Unfortunately, by then Du Feiyang had already opened up the market in the mainland, started two factories, with an annual income of over a hundred million. The group valued him highly. Without anyone to support him, he could only swallow his pride.
Du Feiyang was in a good mood after sending her away. He also packed his things, preparing to return to the mainland with Brother Xie. They would spend the New Year in the mainland this year. Anyway, his father was still in a coma, and no one in the Du family could control him.
Before they left, they still had a big thing to do: find the gold in the villa.
