The Xi family is one of the occasions where Jiang Wanwan needs to cooperate the show of affection, only Jiang Wanwan doesn't quite understand whether she wants to show it to the old man, or show it to those relatives of the Xi family. But none of this matters. She doesn't want to get involved in the feud of the previous generation of the Xi family. All she needed to do was to hold Xi Heming's arm and smile sweetly, as a way of paying interest.
Old man Xi looked at the couple walking towards him, smiling with three more wrinkles on his face, and waved to Jiang Wanwan without waiting for her to greet him: "Tired from the wedding yesterday, right? I told you to rest at home today, you don't have to come over, but you don't listen ......" Old man Xi turned his head and complained to the Xi family behind him, "These two children are too filial, they have to come over. There is really no way."
Jiang Wanwan: "............"
Ho ho, old man, you're even more of a drama queen than your son!
As soon as Xi Heming and Jiang Wanwan sat down on the sofa opposite old man Xi, third aunt Xi on the sofa on one side spoke up impatiently, "Your name is Wanwan, right? I'm your third aunt. I saw your parents at the wedding banquet yesterday, and I heard that your company is a bit small. I'll be honest with you, don't be upset, you and my family's He-ming really don't match very well."
The moment the words fell, not only did old man Xi's beard droop, even Xi Heming frowned. On the contrary, Jiang Wanwan smiled at the vague disdain at the corner of third aunt Xi's mouth. No wonder this family has been angry with Old Man Xi for 30 years and still keeps on pouncing on him, their brain circuit is different from normal people.
"Yes, my family's company is very small." Jiang Wanwan looked at her with a sweet smile on her face. Just as Aunt Xi was about to speak, Jiang Wanwan beat her back perfectly, " Third Aunt's company is quite big, isn't it. Does it have thousands of employees?"
Third Aunt Xi has a depressed look on her face. If there's a company in her family, why would she need to come here to rub her warm face against cold butt? However, looking at Jiang Wanwan's brightly dressed appearance, she was a bit aggrieved, feeling that Jiang Wanwan had taken advantage of the Xi family.
Ever since Xi He Ming became an adult, his aunts and uncles have been trying to get their hands on his marriage. They could not take advantage of old man Xi and Xi Heming, but if they could marry their nieces to Xi Heming, would the nieces not be grateful to her? The slightest loosening of their fingers would be enough to feed them for the rest of their lives.
But they also understood their position in front of the old man Xi and son, so they dare not introduce themselves openly, but can only brag about their relatives' girls in different ways. They even had a subtle discussion about whether Xi He Ming had psychological problems because of ignoring them.
They didn't expect Xi Heming to have no psychological problems and suddenly got married, which really shattered their last illusion. The more Aunt Xi thought about it, the more indignant she became. She complained to Uncle Xi in a low voice: " I thought that He-ming had married the daughter of a big corporation, but it's just the daughter of a small boss, and I think it's even better than my niece. Although my niece's family doesn't have a small company, but after all, they are related to each other, so they are close to each other."
Jiang Wanwan smiled and turned her head to look at Xi Heming: "What Third Aunt said also makes sense, why didn't you think about it before?"
Xi Heming gave Jiang Wanming a blank expression, "They say that nieces look like aunts, so I think Third Aunt's niece must be very ugly."
Third Aunt Xi: "..............."
Jiang Wanwan was stunned by this amazing answer. After trying to control it for a while she couldn't, and burst out laughing
Aunt Xi's face was red and white as she rubbed her hands together in embarrassment and muttered reluctantly, "My niece is better looking than me."
Third Uncle Xi glared at her, "Shut up. What's the point of talking about this now." Finally, he was allowed to come to the villa. He didn't want to be thrown back without even having a meal.
Old man Xi felt quite happy watching this scene. When his son's mouth was in the air, it made his blood pressure soar. But if he used it to piss off someone else, it would be a real relief.
The daughter-in-law is not bad either. She is very articulate and smart, so his son will probably not be lonely with her around. The most important thing is that she is the lucky one he has asked a master to calculate. It matches his son very well. The young couple will definitely be very affectionate in the future.
The more Old Man Xi looked at it, the more satisfied he became. He picked up a prepared file bag and handed it to Jiang Wanwan: "Daughter-in-law, this is my wedding present for you."
Jiang Wanwan thanked him. She got up and took the bag, and pulled out the papers inside. After reading through ten lines at a glance, she was stunned, "5% of the shares of the Xi Group?"
"How much does a 5% share cost?" This time not only Aunt Xi couldn't sit still, but also the family of second Uncle Xi and second Aunt Xi, whose eyes were all red. They had been holding the stinky feet for 30 years, but had never seen a single penny. But this new daughter-in-law had just entered the house and got 5% of the shares. They can hardly stand the excitement!
"Yunhai ah, you have to think carefully before making a decision." Uncle Xi came over and advised in a serious manner, "It's not appropriate to give so many shares to an outsider."
"My daughter-in-law is an outsider, are you an insider?" Old man Xi spat on Uncle Xi's face, "Besides, does my shares have anything to do with you? I'll give it to whoever I like. Do you think you are my son and can control me?"
Uncle Xi wiped his face, it was because the shares had nothing to do with him that he was angry! He could see that it was impossible to expect Lao Er to give them shares. They were just hoping that one day if Lao Er died in an accident, they as brothers would still be able to inherit some. When he thought about it, rounding up the 5% of shares was like taking it out of his own pocket, so how could he not feel bad?
Uncle Xi thought of this and strengthened his persuasive mind, "If you give it, don't rush to give it right after they get married. Nowadays, young people's marriages are unstable. if they get divorced in a few years, won't your shares fall into the hands of outsiders?"
Jiang Wanwan nodded in agreement. She had spent several years of her marriage for 50 million dollars, if she took another 5% of the shares, would she have any hope of getting a divorce?
Jiang Wanwan pushed the folder back in her hand and said with a firm face, "Old Man Xi, this gift is too expensive for me. I can't accept it."
"Don't listen to the nonsense of outsiders, just take the shares I gave you." Old man Xi gave Uncle Xi a blank look and turned his head to continue to comfort Jiang Wanwan, "I've asked the master to tell your fortune. The master said that you two were destined for each other in your past lives, and that in this life you will be a loving couple with many children and grandchildren. The master also said that he had never seen such a perfect match."
Xi Heming: "............"
Jiang Wanwan: "............"
Which master did that calculation? Come out, let's talk about life!
*****
Xi Heming did not want to waste too much time at the old mansion. After dealing with it for half an hour, he took Jiang Wanwan with him and left. As for the document, Jiang Wanwan also took it, but handed it to Xi Heming as soon as she got into the car.
Although Jiang Wanwan likes money, she only likes money that she has earned. She feels that it is better to be less greedy with money that has nothing to do with her, otherwise she is no different from those greedy relatives of the Xi family. Although she and Xi Heming are now legally recognized as husband and wife, they both know that this is only a contractual marriage. In five years at the longest, two or three years at the shortest, the two would go their separate ways and have nothing more to do with each other, in which case she would not accept the shares of the XI family.
Xi Heming looked at the document handed over by Jiang Wanwan and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Do you know how much money this 5% share represents?"
"Does it matter to me how much money it is?" Jiang Wanwan said in a relaxed tone, "It's better to give it to you directly now. If you transfer it to my name and then have to transfer it back when the divorce comes, it's too much trouble."
Xi Heming gave her a deep look and reached out to take the document in her hand: " I will handle the issue of shares. I'm going to the company in a while. Let the driver take you where you are going."
Jiang Wanwan thought for a moment, "I want to go back and meet my parents."
"Aren't you going back to your mother's house tomorrow?" Xi Heming frowned slightly, but he quickly said, "Today is fine, but I have to leave after staying for half an hour at most."
Jiang Wanwan looked at him in confusion, "I'm going home, why are you following?"
Xi Heming: "???"
Why is this reaction different from what he imagined?
*****
Although Jiang Wanwan resolutely refused to be accompanied by Xi Heming, Xi Heming felt that the courtesy that should be performed during the marriage must be sufficient. He sent Jiang Wanwan back her home with a bag full of gifts and stayed for a few minutes before leaving.
As soon as Xi Heming left, Jiang's father and mother both breathed a sigh of relief and then sat down next to Jiang Wanwan with concern, asking her how she and Xi Heming were getting along.
Jiang's father and mother were no different from strangers to Jiang Wanwan, but perhaps it was because of her blood ties to this body that she didn't feel too much rejection towards the old couple.
But Jiang Wanwan didn't come back this time to bond. She needed to know what the 50 million was all about, and to see what was going on with the Jiang family's company by the way.
Pushing away the drink handed over by Jiang's father, Jiang Wanwan asked, "Dad, did you ask for the 50 million investment from Xi Heming?"
Jiang's father froze for a moment, and then an awkward look appeared on his face: "This is all about men's business matter. Don't worry about it so much. Just have what you spend and what you use"
Jiang Wanwan took a deep breath, "I'm just asking if there is any?"
Jiang's father raised his head and stunned after meeting her gaze. He had the impression that his daughter had always been delicate and soft, not worrying about anything other than clothes and jewellery and cosmetics, and usually pestering himself for money in different ways, but this was the first time he had ever seen such a calm and a bit authoritative gaze.
"Yes, he gave me 50 million." Father Jiang answered out of the blue, then then said in a flustered manner, "Dad is not trying to hide it from you. It's just that you have not been bothered about such things, so I didn't mention it. And I didn't ask for this money of my own accord, it was XI Heming who took the initiative after investigating the situation of our company. He said he couldn't have a bankrupt father-in-law."
Jiang Wanwan stood up, "Take me to the company. I want to look at the company's accounts and financial statements over the past few years."
Jiang's father stared at Jiang Wanwan with wide eyes in shock, "Can you understand the financial statements for someone who can't even read credit card bills?"
She didn't expect that the original owner was really the one who didn't worry about everything, Jiang Wanwan rubbed her temples with a headache and simply stomped her feet and played a scoundrel: "Xi Heming taught me yesterday. Besides, wasn't the money invested in my name? I have to know how the company's operations." After a pause, Jiang Wanwan added, "Xi Heming said so."
His son-in-law is a major CEO of a multinational company, so what she said was right.
Jiang's father hurriedly led Jiang Wanwan towards the study, "I have all the reports for the past few years on my computer, what else did my son-in-law say?"
Jiang Wanwan let out a chuckle, "Your son-in-law even said that in the future, if you want him to invest money again you must go through my approval!"
Jiang's mother watched dumbfounded as the father and daughter entered the study, with a worried look on her face, "Learning financial statements on their wedding night, is my son-in-law's health not too good??"
