The Crazy Son-In-Law

A few days later, Xiao Shun received a call from Qin Bai of Starline’s technical department.

Qin Bai, in his early forties, was a senior technician who had worked in Starline’s technical department when he was young. He had experienced several ups and downs with Starline and felt deeply attached to the company. Upon learning that Starline had reopened, he volunteered to return.

Xiao Shun had first dealt with the technical department, so the two were well acquainted.

“President Xiao, I heard that the new technician in our department, Yao Xiaoyu, is President Yao’s sister. Is that true?” Qin Bai asked over the phone.

“Yes, they are cousins. Why?”

“Recently, she has been asking about Starline Health’s formula quite a lot…” Qin Bai hesitated to continue, since it was Yao Cen’s cousin, it was not easy for him to voice his suspicions directly.

Yao Xiaoyu had just graduated not long ago and lacked sophistication, leaving too many traces, so it was no wonder Qin Bai was suspicious.

Xiao Shun didn’t expect her to show her true colors so soon, it seemed that the Yao family was quite eager.

Now, dealing with the Yao family was as easy as crushing an ant for him. However, it seemed that Yao Cen’s parents hadn’t given up on the Yao family yet and he had to take their feelings into consideration.

Alright, let me see what the Yao family really wants to do.

“If she wants the formula, give it to her. Just don’t make it too easy for her to get it.” Xiao Shun said with a meaningful smile.

Qin Bai on the other side seemed to understand Xiao Shun’s intention: “Alright, President Xiao.”

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Shun shook his head helplessly.

The formula in Starline’s technical department was just the formula for Starline Health’s original liquid. In fact, it was not much different from sugar water, and it was useless even if she got it. However, he could at least enjoy a good show.

Ever since Liu Yunxiang had chatted with her close friends about Starline’s shares, she had been trying to get more shares for herself.

Of course, she didn’t want any problems to arise in Yao Cen’s relationship, but what if it did?

Although she had seen Xiao Shun give Yao Cen a check for two billion and later confirmed that the money was indeed in Yao Cen’s hands, human desires were limitless. Moreover, Starline’s current momentum was so good that it might be worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions in the future.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

She wanted Yao Cen to have more control over their assets, which would not only provide her with security but also protect their marriage.

Of course, besides grasping the money, capturing the heart was also important.

Liu Yunxiang occasionally reminded Yao Cen to take the initiative and to hurry up and have a child, but most of the time, Yao Cen just laughed it off, treating it as if it was the wind passing by her ears, leaving Liu Yunxiang anxious.

That night, after dinner, Xiao Shun watched TV for a while before going to his study to play on the computer.

He was engrossed in the game when Liu Yunxiang knocked on the door and entered, carrying a plate of sliced fruit. She placed it beside the desk.

“I’ve got some fruit for you. Don’t forget to eat it while you play your game,” she said with a gentle smile.

“Thank you,” Xiao Shun replied, pausing his game for a moment to look at the fruit. “I’ll eat it in a bit.”

Recently, Liu Yunxiang had been intentionally or unintentionally showing solicitude, and he always felt that she seemed to have something to say, but the words would reach the tip of her tongue and then be swallowed back. At this moment, seeing her put down the fruit plate and stand there hesitatingly, Xiao Shun had no choice but to pause the game and turn his head to look at her: “Mom, what’s the matter?”

“Well… Shun, I have something to discuss with you.”

Liu Yunxiang stammered, feeling indebted. She knew the villa they were living in belonged to Xiao Shun and that he had bought the company as well. Moreover, the two billion was all his. Despite her thick skin, she found it difficult to speak up.

“Just say what’s on your mind.”

Xiao Shun smiled. He had never thought that Liu Yunxiang would have a hard time speaking up.

“Since we are family, I’ll be straightforward,” Liu Yunxiang said bravely. “It’s about the company’s shares. Right now, all the shares are in your hands. I understand that since you and Yao Cen are married, there’s no need to divide things so clearly. But considering how Yao Cen has always been busy working for the company, I’m afraid that in case something happens between you two…”

Xiao Shun immediately understood her meaning and said with a relaxed expression, “You want me to transfer the shares to Yao Cen’s name, right? No problem.”

Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang breathed a sigh of relief, and a bright smile appeared on her face. She took out a stack of A4 paper from somewhere and said, “Here, this is the share transfer agreement I had someone draft. All you need to do is sign it.”

Xiao Shun hesitated slightly, realizing that she had come prepared.

Liu Yunxiang quickly explained, “This is my idea. Yao Cen doesn’t know about it. Your father and I are getting old, and we certainly don’t want any issues between you two. You should understand why I’m doing this, right?”

Xiao Shun smiled faintly, “I understand, I understand. No problem, I’ll sign.”

He glanced at the agreement. Liu Yunxiang was relatively conservative, asking for only 40% of the shares. Xiao Shun thought to himself that even if he transferred all the shares to Yao Cen, it wouldn’t be a problem.

In Xiao Shun’s view, this was an unnecessary move. The formula for Starline Health was in his hands, so even if Yao Cen had all the shares, what use would it be? He could easily create another Starline or even a better formula than Starline Health.

As for the Starline Health formula, he didn’t intend to deliberately conceal it from Yao Cen. He just felt that the fewer people who knew about it, the safer it would be, both for the formula and for people. Song Linger often helped him refine the elixir used in the Starline Health formula, but even she didn’t know what it was for.

Without further hesitation, Xiao Shun took the pen and signed his name.

After Liu Yunxiang saw Xiao Shun sign his name, she finally felt at ease and happily left the study with the agreement.

…

Tang Shishi’s beautiful face emerged from the quilt, stretching her delicate body and letting out a lazy sigh. “Nothing compares to my bed at home,” she thought. However, despite the comfort, she didn’t feel as carefree as she did outside. She didn’t want to be a caged bird; she’d rather be a small sparrow soaring freely instead.

“Miss, are you awake?”

Le Wen opened the curtains, and a bright beam of sunlight streamed in. Outside the window was a small garden with green trees, red flowers, and occasional birdsong.

Tang Shishi playfully patted the bed next to her, raising her eyebrows and teasingly said, “Wen, come lie down with me for a little while longer.”

Le Wen, only seventeen or eighteen years old, blushed immediately, “Miss, you’re a young lady, this isn’t proper!”

“Tsk, you have no sense of romance,” Tang Shishi rolled her eyes.

“Get up and have breakfast, or your father will scold you again,” Le Wen pouted.

Tang Shishi reluctantly got out of bed, washed up, and looked as beautiful as ever without any makeup.

As she descended the stairs, she saw a middle-aged man sitting on the living room sofa reading a newspaper. He had neatly combed hair and wore half-framed glasses, appearing refined and gentle.

“Uncle Zhi? Why are you here so early today?” Tang Shishi greeted him with some surprise.

The man was Tang Shishi’s Uncle Zhi, Tang Zhi, a few years younger than her father. He should be in his fifties by now but look more like in his thirties.
