Chapter 67: We Are All Family Here!

Xu Shuying found herself somewhat puzzled.

However, even so, she didn’t believe it was possible for Xie Bingyan to have poisoned anyone, because after all, a tiger wouldn’t harm its own cubs. No matter what, Xie Bingyan wouldn’t do such a thing.

Since she still had to go to work, Xu Shuying didn’t bother to dwell on these thoughts. She went back to work and planned to return home in the afternoon.

When she arrived at the Xu family villa, she saw that Xu Manni and Xu Pandi had made up and were now in the living room, drinking tea and playing with their dogs.

Xu Junzhe didn’t seem to be at home, probably out with friends, as he had quite a few.

Xu Shuying took a bottle of milk from the fridge and took a sip. Just then, Xie Bingyan came down from the second floor.

The eldest and second sisters hadn’t returned yet; they were probably going to come home a bit later.

Seeing Xie Bingyan come down, Xu Shuying thought about it and decided to tell them about it.

After all, whether it’s telling one person or three, it’s all the same. Might as well tell them together.

“Fifth Daughter, make me a cup of fruit tea!” Xie Bingyan sat on the sofa and instructed Xu Shuying.

She looked a bit listless, with a lackluster appearance, probably not fully recovered yet.

“Okay!” Xu Shuying made her a cup.

“Fifth Sister, I want one too!”

“I want one too!” Xu Manni and Xu Pandi quickly chimed in.

Xu Shuying was speechless and could only brew a large pot, pouring each of them a cup of fruit tea.

Xie Bingyan picked up her cup and took a comfortable sip, then lay back on the sofa with a contented look, her expression seeming much better.

Seeing that they had all finished drinking, Xu Shuying thought for a moment and then said, “Mom! Xu Mo said he’ll come back tomorrow afternoon!”

Swish!

As soon as these words were spoken, Xie Bingyan’s face froze.

“Oh! He’s willing to come back?” Xu Manni immediately spoke up.

Xu Pandi also laughed: “Xu Mo is coming back? Such a big event? He’s probably coming back because he can’t make it out there anymore, right? What a rare guest!”

Xu Shuying felt a twinge of discomfort hearing these words: “Third and Fourth Sisters, Xu Mo is different now!”

“How is he different? Don’t think that just because he got the top score on the exam, he’s something special! These days, there are plenty of top scorers. Without the Xu family, he’s nothing!” Xu Manni scoffed.

“I thought he’d never come back. Now he’s slinking back with his tail between his legs, how hilarious!” A hint of mockery flashed in Xu Pandi’s eyes.

If it were in the past, Xu Shuying might not have found these words harsh, as she had been similar. But now, she suddenly realized how unpleasant and terrifying these words were.

Looking back, she remembered that she had often spoken to Xu Mo in the same way. Even the last time she encountered Xu Mo near the Hospital, her tone had been sarcastic and unkind.

“Xu Mo is really different now, he’s not the same as before! Eldest and second sister have already gone to see him!” Xu Shuying hurriedly said.

“So what if he got the top score? Is he going to fly to the sky or something? I told you he’d eventually come back to the Xu family!” Xu Manni laughed: “He’s eyeing the things in our Xu family; how could he bear to leave?”

Xu Pandi chuckled: “Fifth sister, he must have begged you to bring him back, right?”

Xu Shuying quickly shook her head: “You don’t understand, I’ll explain later. Mom—”

She turned to look at Xie Bingyan.

Xie Bingyan’s expression was cold, and she immediately spoke in a frosty tone: “It’s better if he comes back! I want to see if he dares to do something like this again!”

Xu Shuying hurriedly said: “Mom! This time, Xu Mo is coming home, and the eldest and second sisters hope that Xu Mo can stay at home. Also, Dad said this morning that he wants Xu Mo to come back. Xu Mo is really different now! He’s truly changed!”

“I know he’s different. So what?” Xie Bingyan snorted, looking at her.

Xu Shuying was at a loss for words and didn’t know what to say to Xie Bingyan.

“That company of his, it’s either a scam or a pyramid scheme. I’ve already had your dad go check it out! If there’s a problem, we’ll report it to the police!” Xie Bingyan said.

Xu Shuying heard this and her eyes couldn’t help but turn red: “Dad is already looking into it! However, the vice mayor awarded Xu Mo the title of Outstanding Young Entrepreneur yesterday!”

“What?” Xie Bingyan stared at Xu Shuying.

Xu Shuying nodded: “He was invited to attend an entrepreneurs’ conference and was awarded the title by the vice mayor! Many investors and entrepreneurs participated in that conference!”

Xie Bingyan was clearly stunned and did not speak.

“What Outstanding Young Entrepreneur title? Isn’t that supposed to be the eldest sister’s?” Xu Manni and Xu Pandi, not understanding any of this, looked puzzled.

Xu Shuying looked at them and said: “You don’t know, you were all sick and went on a trip! In the past few months, Xu Mo has done a lot of things! He started a company that has become popular in Xiahai City and even half of Huaxia Country. Some people call him a genius entrepreneur!”

Whoosh!

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Manni and Xu Pandi were astonished.

“Genius entrepreneur? Xu Mo?”

“Fifth sister, have you gone crazy? Lost your mind? What nonsense are you talking about?”

“I told you, you don’t know! Just check it on your phones and you’ll see!” Xu Shuying opened her phone, searched for the news, and handed it to them: “There are tons of reports about Xu Mo. This is what he’s been doing in the past few months, and it’s had a huge impact!”

Xu Manni and Xu Pandi took the phone and looked at it.

“Bike-sharing?”

“Yes!” Xu Shuying nodded.

Xu Manni and Xu Pandi hurriedly looked through it carefully, and couldn’t help but gape in disbelief.

“This, how is this possible…”

“Xu Mo? How could this be?”

Xu Shuying didn’t pay attention to them and turned to Xie Bingyan: “Mom, Xu Mo’s project doesn’t seem to have any major issues! Although it’s easy to explode, many investors are very optimistic about it! We really shouldn’t let Xu Mo live outside.”

Xie Bingyan’s face was stern, and she said coldly: “If he wants to come back and live here, I’m not stopping him! He’s the one who ran off!”

Xu Shuying thought to herself, if not for you, he probably wouldn’t have run off.

But she didn’t dare to say it out loud and could only say: “The eldest and second sisters will be back later, they both want to see Xu Mo! We don’t want him to leave the Xu family with resentment and fend for himself! He should receive the family’s support!”

Xie Bingyan glanced at her coldly and said: “If he’s obedient enough and can fix those messy little habits of his, and cut ties with those messy people outside, I’d be happy for him to come home! But if not, then there’s nothing to say. I absolutely won’t let him use a single cent from the Xu family!”

“Mom, how can you say that? Isn’t Xu Mo a part of the family?”

“Isn’t it for his own good that I’m doing this? He has countless flaws. If he continues like this, how can he enter high society? Our Xu family is not an ordinary family; we are a high-class family, and we should follow the rules and know propriety!” Xie Bingyan said coldly.

With that, she looked at Xu Shuying: “Fifth daughter, don’t speak up for him! I know what I should do. I want to see if he’s learned anything this time when he comes home.”

Xu Shuying heard this and felt a chill in her heart.

She didn’t want to say more and turned to go back to her room.

In the living room, Xu Manni and Xu Pandi looked at the information on their phones, their faces full of surprise. They seemed not to have expected that Xu Mo could accomplish so much in just a few short months.

The two of them continuously flipped through several news articles and searched several times, becoming more and more surprised with each look.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was evening. Xu Wanting and Xu Xuehui returned home and also talked about the situation.

Xu Manni and Xu Pandi were even more surprised when they heard it.

After dinner, Xu Shuying went to talk to Xu Wanting and Xu Xuehui.

“Mom’s attitude hasn’t changed! She’s unwilling to budge, and I don’t know why! We’re all family, so why can’t we get past this?” Xu Shuying sniffled, looking aggrieved.

Xu Wanting said: “I guessed as much, Mom has always been like this! But I hope Xu Mo can move back tomorrow!”

“Do you think it’s possible, sister?”

Xu Shuying looked at her.

Xu Wanting did not answer the question, a hint of frustration appearing in her expression. Until now, Xu Mo had been unwilling to see her.

“I don’t know what he’s coming back for. It’s definitely not to make peace! Xu Mo’s recent changes are really, really huge, so huge that I can’t believe it!” Xu Shuying said with red eyes.

“He knows someone wants to kill him, so of course, he’s unwilling to come back!” Xu Xuehui said quietly.

“Who? Who is it?” Xu Shuying immediately looked at her.

“Us!” Xu Xuehui said.

Xu Shuying was immediately at a loss for words again.

“Let’s see tomorrow! Dad will also be back, hopefully, he can stop him from leaving!” Xu Wanqing said.

Xu Shuying didn’t know what to say either, and a sense of despair suddenly arose in her heart, not knowing how to handle the situation!
