The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 243: Kidnapping 4_1

"We’re not dissatisfied with her. It’s just that these days, financial matters should be clear between men and women before marriage. There are already many lessons around us. Young people’s feelings come and go quickly. If it really comes to a breakup, she might walk away with half of your assets without contributing a penny."

Huang Xiaojue laughed. "Dad, Mom, I think you’re just worrying too much. Xixi is very simple; she’s not cunning at all. How could she want to take advantage of me? Besides, putting her name on assets and spending money on her is completely voluntary on my part. I’m happy to do it. In my heart, she’s just like both of you; I want to treat her well."

The old couple looked at each other, taken aback.

Huang’s mother couldn’t hold back any longer and was about to reveal the matter of the boutique, but her husband quickly pulled her aside and changed the subject. "Let’s eat. Hurry up, the food is getting cold."

Huang Xiaojue quickly finished his meal and said lightly, "Mom, I hope you won’t discuss these things in front of Xixi in the future. She’s all alone now, with no one to care for her. If we continue to be so wary of her, that would be truly uncalled for."

"Son, it’s not that I’m wary of her, I just..."

"Wife, our son is tired. Why are you still saying so much?"

"I have to work overtime today, so I can’t keep you company. Dad, Mom, goodbye."

Huang’s mother watched her son walk out the door, pounding her chest and stomping her feet in frustration. "Husband, what kind of attitude was that?"

Her husband just shook his head. "I told you not to meddle. See? He gets upset whenever you bring it up. Why must you go to all this trouble?"

The next day, Huang’s mother went to the boutique right as it opened. When Xu Xiaoya saw her, she immediately understood the purpose of her visit and quickly ushered her into her office.

Huang’s mother got straight to the point. "Xiaoya, I need to ask you something frankly today. This boutique is yours, isn’t it?"

Xu Xiaoya responded readily, "Yes, it’s mine."

Huang’s mother pressed anxiously, "So, it’s also Yan Xixi’s? Is she really the true owner of this boutique, the one behind the scenes?"

"Did Zhou Xiaoxuan tell you?"

"This... let’s just say she did."

"Zhou Xiaoxuan is talking nonsense; she doesn’t know anything about it."

"..."

Xu Xiaoya said, her expression unchanging, "I am the true owner. This boutique actually has nothing to do with Yan Xixi."

Huang’s mother was a little surprised by her decisive tone. "But I heard this boutique belongs to Yan Xixi, and it’s registered in her name..."

Xu Xiaoya laughed. In fact, she had been up all night, sleepless. It was impossible to expect that gossip Zhou Xiaoxuan to keep her mouth shut. Therefore, she had spent the whole night thinking and had finally come up with a plan. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Auntie, you’re not wrong. The boutique is indeed registered in Xixi’s name, but it’s actually mine. A man... let’s put it this way, an older man helped me open it!"

Seeing the doubtful expression on Huang’s mother’s face, she said, "To be honest, I’ve been tricked many times, and I’ve suffered a lot. Auntie, you’ve probably heard about it too: I spent hundreds of thousands to support Zhong Minghui’s studies and help him buy a house. But as soon as he got a good job, he dumped me and never paid me back. I even tried to commit suicide over it. Fortunately, Heaven was merciful, and I survived. As for my own family, I don’t even know what to say. My parents took all my money for my younger brother and didn’t give me a single penny from the family assets. Even when I was lying in the hospital after my suicide attempt, they refused to pay the medical bills..."
