“I know money doesn’t come easy, but at the very least… at the very least, there shouldn’t be nothing!” Xu Wanting cried.
“Eldest, stop talking nonsense for him. I know what you want to say! Now, you’re on his side, aren’t you?” Xie Bingyan erupted in anger.
Xu Wanting fell silent, sniffing.
“Where are his bicycles? I’m going out to smash them all! I don’t believe he can bounce back after losing our Xu family!” Xie Bingyan’s anger flared.
Xu Wanting desperately wiped the tears from her face, unwilling to say another word to Xie Bingyan.
Xie Bingyan had always been stubborn, and Xu Wanting used to think she could tolerate it, but she hadn’t expected her to be so unreasonable.
Was Xu Mo always treated unfairly like this at the Xu family? Never listening to explanations, always being self-righteous, not even allowing for appeals!
If it weren’t for utter despair, Xu Mo probably wouldn’t have left the Xu family.
He didn’t leave because of them, although perhaps they bore some responsibility. It was definitely because of Xie Bingyan.
Xu Wanting suddenly understood it all.
“You can’t smash Xu Mo’s bicycles. There are five to six hundred thousand of them out there!” Her voice hoarse, tears blurred her eyes.
“What if there are five to six hundred thousand? I want to smash them, and I will! I don’t believe he can make anything out of this!” Xie Bingyan retorted angrily, then turned to Xu Deming. “Xu Deming, call Xiao Li and tell him to immediately go out with some people and smash his bicycles for me!”
Xu Deming frowned. “Xie Bingyan, are you out of your mind? How do you smash five to six hundred thousand bicycles? Besides, we haven’t figured out what’s going on yet. Let’s get to the bottom of this first!”
“What else is there to figure out? Although I don’t know how he did it, he must be swindling money from investors, or worse, committing fraud, pyramid schemes! If I don’t stop him now, he’ll ruin the reputation of our Xu family sooner or later!” Xie Bingyan raged.
“You should also figure things out before jumping to conclusions. How can you handle things properly if you’re so hasty and chaotic?” Xu Deming frowned.
“Fine, fine, fine! You’re yelling at me too. Well, let’s see how you figure things out! Let me tell you, Xu Deming, you better handle this matter quickly! If it tarnishes the reputation of our Xu family, I’ll hold you accountable!” Xie Bingyan stared at Xu Deming.
Xu Deming felt a headache coming on, ignoring her and turning to Xu Wanting. “Wanting, I want you to investigate Xu Mo’s entrepreneurial venture thoroughly! I’ll also have someone look into it! If he’s really involved in fraud and illegal operations, don’t blame us for not being lenient! If Xu Mo isn’t disciplined, he’ll sooner or later cause big trouble!”
Upon hearing this, Xu Wanting let out a bitter laugh. “Dad! You say this without a hint of shame. Even if you really kept him at our Xu family, what difference would it make?”
“You don’t need to worry about that! This is a matter of great importance, and I won’t leave a trace!” Xu Deming said coldly. “Besides, even when your mom was rushed to ICU for emergency treatment, he didn’t bother to come and offer his regards. We don’t expect anything from him in the future either!”
Xu Wanting realized she shouldn’t continue speaking.
At that moment, the door suddenly opened, and a figure walked in.
Who else but Xu Shuying?
She must have been eavesdropping outside.
“Mom, Dad, Director Tang from the Fu Yi hospital has been wanting to adopt Xu Mo!”
“What?” Xu Deming and Xie Bingyan were stunned.
“She has talked to Xu Mo many times, and it seems Xu Mo is about to agree!”
Xu Deming and Xie Bingyan were frozen, their expressions stiff.
The scorching air seemed to chill instantly, and the entire room fell into a deathly silence.
“Tang Jingyi?”
“Yes!”
Xu Shuying watched them nod.
“…”
Meanwhile, on the other side, Xu Mo accompanied the investor Zhou Shiming to attend a conference.
There were quite a few people present, mostly entrepreneurs. Xu Mo presented the report and explained it thoroughly, which garnered a positive response and sparked some discussions.
This presentation aimed to lay the groundwork for the future branding of the company. Zhou Shiming invested 150 million yuan, hoping that this stake would appreciate in value.
Xu Mo spared no effort to articulate his message, clarifying his values and promoting his brand.
Currently, there are others also venturing into the shared bicycle business, but Xu Mo is currently the fastest. He has already planned to go to Beijing.
After the meeting, Xu Mo returned to the company and was invited by the director of the Fu Yi hospital to have dinner at her place.
This time, Tang Lei and Gu Huanxi also came together for the meal.
“That’s roughly the situation with the Xu family!”
“I’ve separated from them, we’ve signed the disinheritance agreement with them and even gave them three hundred thousand. I’ve settled the debts, clear as day!”
Xu Mo addressed director Tang Jingyi, “The current situation is that for convenience in the future, I hope to transfer my household registration out of the Xu family! I can move to the orphanage area, although it’s a bit troublesome. I’m already eighteen, so moving to the orphanage isn’t particularly suitable! That’s why I thought of you!”
Upon hearing this, director Tang Jingyi and Uncle Zhao fell silent, their faces serious.
“The Xu family is not a small clan, with extremely rich assets. Are you willing?” Uncle Zhao looked at Xu Mo, his expression complex.
“I haven’t taken a penny from their family! I’ve repaid everything I owed them! The money I used for my venture, part of it was earned from reselling seafood and fruits with Tang Lei and the others, and part of it was earned from my investments, which has nothing to do with them! I hope to sever all ties cleanly in the future!” Xu Mo stated.
Upon hearing this, Elder Tang Jingyi said, “I remember the Xie family has significant influence in Beijing. You’ll need to go to Beijing next, and Mrs. Xie Bingyan is the daughter of the Xie family’s wealthy elite!”
“It doesn’t matter how much influence they have! I just hope to sever all ties cleanly with them! Of course, if Aunt Tang finds it troublesome, I’ll look for someone else! Moving back to the orphanage is also an option!” Xu Mo replied.
Elder Tang Jingyi smiled, “If you truly wish to do so, Aunt Tang won’t stop you. If they don’t mind, cutting ties cleanly is fine!”
“Thank you, Aunt Tang. I’ll consider handling this matter promptly!” Xu Mo said, realizing that the household registration issue couldn’t be delayed any longer.
Since Xu Deming and Xie Bingyan have returned, it’s best to handle this matter as soon as possible!
“Alright, alright, let’s eat first then! Afterward, we can chat some more! I heard you had quite a fruitful meeting this time! I read the reports, and it seems like your company’s brand is starting to take shape!” Mr. Zhao smiled.
“Xu Mo said it’s just the beginning!” Gu Huanxi chuckled.
“So, what’s your next step? Are you heading to Beijing to cover the city, or are you planning to blossom everywhere?” Mr. Zhao asked with great interest.
“We still need to go through another round of financing, scheduled for about a month later! This time, I hope to raise over ten billion yuan! With this level of funding, we can expand rapidly!” Xu Mo said.
“Can you really raise over ten billion yuan?” Mr. Zhao asked in surprise.
“It’s challenging! The timeframe is short, so it’s quite difficult. However, even if we can’t reach that scale, our growth is still rapid. At least now, there’s no big issue with covering Beijing!” Xu Mo explained.
Mr. Zhao chuckled upon hearing this. “Seeing your ambitious and spirited appearance truly brings back memories! If only I had been as confident as you when I was young!”
Xu Mo chuckled, “Mr. Zhao, you’re still vibrant and spirited now!”
“Old age has robbed me of that energy! Being young is definitely better!” Mr. Zhao laughed.
Xu Mo and Tang Lei smiled but didn’t say anything.
“Xu Mo, after we finish eating, how about taking a walk with me? Let’s have a chat!” Director Tang smiled.
“Sure! I happen to have some time today!” Xu Mo nodded.
“Alright, eat plenty of meat. You look like you’ve been working tirelessly and getting thinner by the day!” Director Tang said with a concerned expression.

On the other side, Xie Bingyan, Xu Deming, and the others packed up their things and left the Fu Yi Hospital. When they arrived outside the hospital, they saw rows of yellow bicycles, their faces solemn.
Xie Bingyan was truly angry!
She had nearly lost her temper just now.
Especially when Xu Shuying burst in earlier, it had infuriated her, causing her to repeatedly exclaim that it was impossible.
Xu Shuying was immediately frightened into silence.
Sitting in the sedan now, both of their faces were as dark as charcoal, not uttering a word, the atmosphere almost reaching freezing point.
For them, Xu Mo being adopted by someone else was absolutely impossible, a blatant slap in the face to their Xu family!
Even if they didn’t like their son, such a thing could never happen!
