Chapter 147: Standing Tall Again
“You’ll know tomorrow!” Xia Chenge kept it a mystery.
Besides those present, no one knew what exactly happened in the meeting room. Seeing so many senior executives being taken away by the police, the entire group was in a state of panic, fearing they might be the next to be arrested.
As Xia Chenge left Sheng Xia, she felt many fearful gazes.
It’s right to be afraid. Only fear will keep you in line; otherwise, they’ll always try to take advantage and push their luck! Xia Chenge slightly curved her lips, everything was within her grasp!
As for the person behind Xu Jingyi, they wouldn’t be able to dig them out in a short period.
Even if the Ling family secretly intervened, they wouldn’t find any evidence, and they had already given up on Xu Jingyi.
Just as Xia Chenge was about to get into her car to go home, she received a call from home.
Wei En was so excited he could barely contain himself, his voice trembling, “Little Miss, you, you must come home quickly, something, something big has happened!”
Upon hearing this, Xia Chenge immediately thought of the two elders and instantly guessed what Wei En meant by “big thing”!
“Wait for me, I’ll be back immediately.” After saying that, she immediately asked Wei Lixin to drive her back to the Xia family as fast as possible.
“Did something happen to the house?” Wei Lixin’s heart tightened. Could it be that Xu Jingyi’s faction, seeing the situation turn unfavorable, had made a move against the Old Master and Madam?
“Take me home first.” Xia Chenge didn’t explain clearly. She was eager to return home, wishing she could teleport.
After spending this period together, she, who had never felt cared for or doted upon, cherished this familial bond deeply, considering the two elders her grandfather and grandmother from the bottom of her heart.
As soon as the car arrived at the entrance, Xia Chenge jumped out and sent Wei Lixin back to Sheng Xia, “Uncle Wei, you’ll have your hands full with the mess today. Don’t worry, nothing is wrong at home!”
Wei Lixin opened his mouth, then swallowed his words. With so many senior management members taken away at once, Sheng Xia’s staff were already in disarray, and someone was indeed needed at the company. Moreover, such a big incident would surely alert the shareholders, and he would have to appease them.
“Then be careful. Call me immediately if anything happens. I’m heading back to the company!”
“Mhm, see you later.”
Xia Chenge waved her hand and, without waiting for Wei Lixin’s reply, turned and rushed inside.
The house was livelier than ever, with occasional sounds of crying mixed in, likely tears of joy.
Although she had already anticipated such a good outcome, Xia Chenge’s heart was still pounding, and her hands trembled slightly.
As soon as she entered the hall, she saw Old Master Xia, supported by Wei En and another bodyguard, walking back and forth step by step. Although it was very slow, it had already made the Old Master ecstatic.
The Old Madam’s condition was slightly worse; she needed to rest after walking a couple of steps.
But this already exceeded Xia Chenge’s expectations. She had thought the two elders would only be able to stand up, not expecting them to be able to walk already.
“Little Miss, the Master and Madam can walk now!” The people in the house saw her and excitedly reported the good news.
“Xiao Ge, Xiao Ge!” The Old Master’s eyes reddened, and he eagerly wanted to walk to her.
Xia Chenge’s nose stung. She took two steps at a time, grasped the Old Master’s hand, and sniffled, “That’s wonderful, Grandfather, you can finally walk!”
“Yes, Grandfather can walk now. We won’t be bullied anymore!” The Old Master nodded vigorously. He had once thought he would be bedridden for the rest of his life; who would have thought he would stand up again?
And all of this was brought about by his only precious granddaughter.
“Xiao Ge, you are truly the luck of our Xia family!” The Old Master withdrew his hand and hugged Xia Chenge. “Grandfather can finally hug you!”
Seeing this scene, everyone in the room couldn’t help but shed tears.
Everyone thought the Xia family was finished. Who would have thought that a 17-year-old girl would turn the tide and save the Xia family?
“Alright, it’s clearly a good thing, why are you all crying?” The Old Madam chided, but her eyes were also tear-filled.
“Yes, yes, yes, Grandmother is right. This is a momentous occasion, we should laugh heartily, not cry!” Xia Chenge nodded, her voice thick with emotion.
Xia Chenge helped the Old Master to sit on the sofa and turned to Wei En, saying, “Everyone gets a thousand yuan raise, plus double pay this month. Additionally, I’ll reward you with an overseas trip. You can discuss the destination. All expenses except for shopping will be covered by me, and you can bring two family members!”
“Wow, that’s great! Thank you, Little Miss!” The servants were so excited they almost jumped, immensely grateful they hadn’t chosen the wrong side back then!
“I promised you that as long as you work diligently, I will reward and punish fairly and will never be stingy! Also, for those who have worked in the house for ten years, in addition to social security and housing fund, I will also purchase a pension insurance.” Xia Chenge said in a deep voice.
This made the servants even more excited, “Little Miss, are you serious about what you said?”
“When have I ever lied to you?” Xia Chenge retorted.
“Long live the Little Miss!” Everyone cheered.
Old Master Xia watched this scene with a smile, immensely comforted!
“However, let me be clear upfront: if you do anything to harm the Xia family, I will be just as cold-blooded and ruthless.” Xia Chenge warned them.
“Little Miss, don’t worry, we will work hard.” Where else would they find such a generous employer? They’d be fools to betray the Xia family!
“Also, keep everything that happens here confidential. Absolutely do not leak any information. If I hear even a single word, I will investigate it to the end.” Xia Chenge’s expression changed, becoming very stern.
Although they didn’t know what Xia Chenge planned to do, they all hurriedly agreed.
Xia Chenge waved the servants away, telling them to get back to their tasks.
The Old Master praised, “Xiao Ge, you are better at handling affairs, big and small, than I imagined. You know how to balance kindness and authority. The Xia family truly has hope!”
“Indeed, our Xiao Ge is the most capable girl in the world, no one can compare to her!” The Old Madam was extremely proud.
“By the way, Grandfather, you haven’t been to the company in so long, it’s time for you to show your face!” Xia Chenge had secretly checked the Old Master’s body earlier. Apart from needing practice walking, his body was basically fine and he could move around.
“It is indeed time. If I don’t go soon, Sheng Xia will be renamed!” Old Master Xia sighed.
A hint of worry flashed in Xia Chenge’s eyes. If the Old Master found out tomorrow that his son was killed by his daughter, could he withstand such a double blow?
She had no confidence at all, but the Old Master had to make an appearance at Sheng Xia.
“Xiao Ge, what are you thinking about?” The Old Master waved his hand in front of her. “Tell Grandpa?”
Xia Chenge hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping herself. She didn’t want to deceive the people closest to her, yet she didn’t want them to get hurt.
“Sometimes, we can only blame ourselves for not educating well. No matter what the truth is, I can accept it. The deceased are gone, and the living are here. At least we still have you.” Old Master Xia looked at her steadily, patting her head. “No matter what you do, I will support you!”
Xia Chenge’s eyes widened. Had the Old Master always suspected Xu Jingyi?
“Look, the news is going crazy with reports.” The Old Master pointed to the mobile phone on the coffee table.
Second update finished, good night everyone.
