My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 591: Easy to Say, Hard to Do

"Okay, I know..." After a moment of silence, she agreed.

Bo Yan laughed, "Hmm, have you had breakfast?"

"I have."

"You have? Aren’t you still eating?"

"How did you know?"

Bo Yan, "Don’t I understand you? It’s already not easy for you to have breakfast now. Later, I will have to supervise you to change this habit. Otherwise, I can bring it to your room and feed you."

Yuran, "...Perhaps that’s not necessary. What would it look like in front of grandma and the others? Seventh Brother, be careful, I..."

"Hmm, no need to say, I know."

...

Zhizhi’s eyes were sparkling as she looked at Yuran. Yuran lowered her eyes and met Zhizhi’s gaze, "What’s wrong, baby?"

Zhizhi thought for a moment and asked, "Mom, is Uncle alright?"

"He’s fine. Uncle wasn’t in the car."

Zhizhi, relieved, patted her chest, "That’s good, that’s good. He promised me a robot and hasn’t given it yet."

"When Uncle is free, shall we ask him for it?"

"Okay."

...

Huanya.

At the very moment the chained car accident occurred in Sihuan, Zhao Shuqin received a call from her own people—an accident, what an unexpected accident? Xi Nian’s entire car was crushed in the middle. How could he survive this?

She hung up the phone, a profound and inscrutable smile appearing on her face.

Xi Gu stood behind her, his face showing a hint of solemnity. He had always known that his mother was ruthless, but he didn’t expect her to take action against Xi Nian so swiftly and succeed immediately.

He suddenly found her somewhat terrifying. If she were not his mother, would she be equally remorseless when dealing with him?

"Are you afraid of me?"

Zhao Shuqin turned around, staring at her son, seeing his hesitant expression, and scoffed.

Xi Gu stuttered, "No, not at all."

After speaking, feeling something was wrong, he went to sit next to Zhao Shuqin, "Mom, if Grandpa..."

"Don’t worry, he won’t say anything."

Buzz—

As they were discussing Grandpa Xi, Zhao Shuqin’s phone rang. It was a call from Grandpa Xi.

Xi Gu suddenly became nervous, worried about being asked something they couldn’t answer, but Zhao Shuqin, unhurried, pinched her phone and waited for quite a while before answering.

"Hello."

As soon as she spoke, Xi Gu swallowed nervously, his face filled with unease. Seeing her son so timid, Zhao Shuqin was not pleased at all. After all her scheming, for whom was it all for?

But he, not showing any spirit, that’s one thing; he also never thought of her.

Xi Gu was stared down so hard that he immediately sat upright and dared not move an inch.

On the phone, Old Master Xi’s voice wasn’t low at all but rather roared, "Zhao Shuqin, was this your doing?"

Zhao Shuqin spread her hands, looking at her delicately painted nails, and sneered, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."

"You..."

"Old Master, if there’s nothing important in this call, I’m hanging up. I’m very busy right now."

"You know full well I need Xi Nian in London to resolve the trouble, yet you dared... Without Xi Nian’s involvement in London, do you think your son can handle it?"

The undisguised contempt from the phone made Xi Gu fully understand as his face turned pale and unsightly, yes, his abilities were not as good as Xi Nian’s, but what use was that now, Xi Nian was merely a dead man, without Xi Nian, there was only him, Xi Gu in London.

Zhao Shuqin was obviously also angered by Old Master Xi’s words, "Xi Zhen, are you speaking human words?"

Xi Gu was even more shocked by his mother’s attitude towards his grandfather, and when Zhao Shuqin saw Xi Gu’s bewildered face, her thoughts snapped back somewhat, "Are you speaking human words?"

Old Master Xi didn’t speak; he just humphed over there, "Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking. Currently, only Huanya maintains some stability inside the Xi family, just play, if Huanya falls in both mother and son’s hands, you all might as well go die."

Zhao Shuqin stared at the disconnected phone, her expression sullen and silent.

Xi Gu was severely affected by Old Master Xi’s last remark urging them to "go die," and he stared at Zhao Shuqin, "What does grandfather mean? What does he mean by saying that?"

Zhao Shuqin sneered, "Can’t you understand? He’s telling us to die. Do you need me to explain the reason? So when I say you lack spirit, am I wrong?"

Xi Gu muttered, "You didn’t give me a smart brain either, Xi Nian was naturally smart, alright."

"What did you say? Speak up, I didn’t hear you."

Xi Gu dared not speak any longer, but suddenly thought of something and said, "Mother, since Xi Nian is now in trouble, his life and death uncertain, presumably he won’t have much chance of surviving and will be disabled even if he wakes up, then what about Xi Yan and Xi Yang? Grandfather doesn’t consider them? Xi Ya’s side?"

"Xi Ya’s side doesn’t need your intervention. Xi Yan and Xi Yang are caught up in fierce infighting, preoccupied with their own problems, incapable of multitasking, and have time to go to London to help?"

Xi Gu thought it made sense. "I’ve seen it by chance before, Xi Yan, and Xi Yang both have spoken to Xi Nian."

Zhao Shuqin scoffed, her laugh laced with sarcasm, "What can that signify? It only means there’s room for negotiation. Whether it will succeed is another matter. Now with Xi Nian in trouble, both are still the same, two useless pieces, should you worry about them?"

"Useless pieces?" Xi Gu was somewhat skeptical, "What if the two are just..."

"Xi Gu, do you even know where your focus should be? Xi Yan and Xi Yang aren’t the ones you should be concerned about. You should seriously handle the tasks at hand, which is the most crucial. You need to show the shareholders your capability. The entire rights to ’City of Temptation’ were handed over to Xi Nian, and even now with him in trouble, ’City of Temptation’ is still around;

I will check for updates later, but your side’s ’Miss Rose’ cannot have any mess. This is just the most basic way to make money. If you even mess this up, I think you’re another impossible case and better off leaving early."

Xi Gu, utterly cowed and unable to retort, could only equivocate, "You saw how difficult those shareholders are today."

"Yes, shareholders are difficult. Does that mean we should not deal with them? I want to reform Huanya, do you understand what reform means? The shares in the shareholders’ hands, granting us the right of use, that’s what belongs to us. If not granted, we can only sit idle. Look at that stubborn old shareholder holding eight percent, not 0.8."

"He has been a longtime shareholder of the company, always defiant, even fought with Xi Nian in that year for several months. How Xi Nian convinced him in the end, I don’t know. However, afterward, he was profoundly convinced by Xi Nian."

"What could it be, money? A shareholder’s pocket bursting with money, growing every day. Do you think this shareholder would be grateful to you?"

Xi Gu: "..."

Would Huanya have divided half its empire to Xi Nian if he could’ve done it?

Easy to say but not so easy to do, right?
