Mu Lan continued to sigh and said, “actually, my antique shop is a small matter. She was too anxious. I originally planned to wait for your father to leave and I won’t run it anymore, but I didn’t expect her to act so quickly. ”

Song Beibei said, “why did she do that? ”

Song Beibei couldn’t understand.

The entire family had been busy for her 50th birthday these few days.

Song Beibei was still thinking about what gift to give her this morning.

She didn’t expect that something would happen in such a short time.

Mu Lan said worriedly, “between her and me, our long-cherished wish is already deep and frozen. It wasn’t just a day of cold. She blamed her mother’s death on me, so I accepted it. However, what I’m afraid of now is that I’m not the only one she wants to deal with. If she makes a move now, won’t she anger her father to death? ”

Song Beibei actually still couldn’t accept it.

Xiao Wei had also returned to the Xiao family for a long time.

If she said that she had a grudge against the Xiao family and Xiao Peishan, she believed it.

However, she wouldn’t go so far as to do such a thing at this juncture?

Gu Yanqing frowned. “What are your plans now? ”

Mu Lan said, “if she wants to destroy me, or send me to jail first, it won’t be that easy. After all, I’ve lived in Hong Kong city for 30 years. Your father’s reputation is still there, so he’ll give me some face both inside and outside. I’m sure Xiao Wei herself knows about this matter. She can’t touch my roots, so she instigated the public. “speaking of the media coming to denounce me, I’m just worried that her ambition isn’t here. You all know about your father’s current health. She, Xiao Wei, can forget about her parents’ feelings. I still have to remember my 30 years of love as a husband and wife. I can’t let Pei Shan’s last days be unsettled. ”

Song Beibei said, “but what should we do now? Tomorrow is Xiao Wei’s birthday. Do we still have to hold it as scheduled? ”

Mu Lan’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Of course we have to hold it as scheduled. Don’t blame me if she’s not kind. I want to have an understanding with Xiao Wei for tomorrow’s birthday banquet. It’s time to settle the 30-year grudge. ”

Song Beibei looked at Mu Lan’s current state.

She also felt that something big would happen tomorrow.

After returning to her room, Song Beibei looked worried. She asked Gu Yanqing, “why do you look so calm? ”

Gu Yanqing replied, “to be honest, I don’t know what to do at the moment. Moreover, this is not something that the two of us can control. What should happen will happen. ”

Song Beibei felt that what Gu Yanqing said made sense.

This was not something that the two of them could control at all.

Song Beibei felt a little more at ease by staying beside Gu Yanqing.

The next day, many people from the Xiao family came.

Xiao Wei also returned.

On the surface, everyone was still peaceful.

Xiao Peishan was in good spirits.

He was chatting with some old friends in the study.

However, not long after the banquet started, Xiao Peishan became tired.

Mu Lan asked the Butler to send him to his bedroom to rest.

Actually, Song Beibei knew that Mu Lan had given Xiao Peishan a tranquilizer.

This medicine had the effect of stopping pain, and Xiao Peishan had always taken it.

However, if the dosage was slightly higher, it would become as effective as sleeping pills.

Fortunately, as long as the dosage was not excessive, there were no side effects to the body.

Mu Lan must have wanted to use this method to get rid of Xiao Peishan.

Presumably, there were some things that she had to avoid dealing with Xiao Peishan.

What would happen next?

The Xiao Family’s banquet hall was only able to hold ten or so tables of people.

However, they were all influential people in port city.

There were also a few important directors of the Peishan Group.

Quite a number of people took the initiative to toast to Xiao Wei.

Naturally, there were also people who came to toast to Mu Lan.

Xiao Wei and Mu Lan sat at the same table.

And on this table, there were two elders of the Peishan group.

Wu Zijun and Xiao Jiankai.

Wu Zijun was sitting next to Xiao Wei.

When others came to toast, they had to give a toast to Wu Zijun.

In everyone’s eyes, the relationship between the two had long been an open secret.

Outside, there were rumors that Wu Zijun was the man behind Xiao Wei.

Now, the eldest princess of the Xiao family controlled the power of the Xiao family.

Maybe that day, the Peishan Corporation would change its surname to Wu.

Although Xiao Jiankai was not much older than Xiao Wei and the others.

He had the identity of a second uncle.

Xiao Wei came to toast to him.

Xiao Jiankai said with a smile, “although you are usually the chairman, today, you are Xiao Wei and I am your second uncle. Today, I will use my second uncle’s identity to take advantage of my seniority and say a few words. ”

Xiao Wei seemed to be in a good mood. “second uncle, you are too serious. ”

Xiao Jiankai said, “although I am not a member of the Xiao family, I grew up with your father. Now, I don’t have any relatives. The Xiao Family is my only family. ”

Xiao Wei said, “what are you talking about, second uncle? Why aren’t you a member of the Xiao Family? Have you forgotten that your surname is Xiao? ”

Xiao Jiankai clearly drank a little too much When he heard this, he was elated. “Good. With your words, second uncle feels much better. After so many years, everything that second uncle has done has been worth it. Xiao Wei, second uncle knows that it hasn’t been easy for you. Let’s forget about everything that has happened in the past. You and Zijun can start over and support the Xiao family again. Even if second uncle leaves, he will feel at ease. ”

This sentence made Xiao Wei suspicious. “second uncle wants to leave. ”

Xiao Jiankai said, “second uncle is old. He wants to go back and live his own life. ”

Xiao Wei said, “second uncle has always been the one who refuses to accept his old age. ”

Xiao Jiankai smiled and said, “how can a person not accept his old age? In the blink of an eye, your second uncle is already in his 60s. It’s time for me to return home. ”

Xiao Wei said, “if second uncle really has such intentions, Mu Lan doesn’t dare to keep him. If second uncle really wants to leave, I will buy the shares in your hands at a high price. This is to thank you for all your years of hard work to the Xiao Family and let you enjoy your old age. ”

Xiao Jiankai said, “then second uncle will thank you in advance. ”

Song Beibei, who was listening by the side, had a heavy heart.

Although she didn’t know much about the practices in the company.

Xiao Jiankai’s action was to protect himself.

Back then, when Xiao Wei and Gu Yanqing seized power, the person Xiao Jiankai supported was Gu Yanqing.

At that time, he had caused trouble for Xiao Wei many times.

But now, Xiao Wei had become big and had long established a foothold in the company.

There would definitely be no place for him in the future.

Therefore, it wasn’t wise to take this opportunity to escape.

Xiao Wei was magnanimous, and on the surface, she would definitely not mistreat him.

Song Beibei knew that in the future, this Peishan group would really be a dominant force, and there would no longer be a situation where there was a balance between the two sides.

When Mu Lan heard this, her face was full of unhappiness.

Her voice was full of sarcasm, “there’s an old saying that is especially good. When a tree falls, the monkeys scatter. It’s understandable, but this tree hasn’t fallen yet, and you’re already in a hurry to cut down the tree for glory. Don’t you think you’re worse than a monkey? Second Brother? ”

Mu Lan was actually ten years younger than Xiao Jiankai.

In the past, when she was polite, she would call him second brother.

But now, she was extremely angry.

She put on the airs of Mrs. Xiao and followed Xiao Peishan to call Xiao Jiankai second brother.

Xiao Jiankai naturally knew that Mu Lan’s words were insinuating.

Still smiling, he approached Mu Lan and raised his wine glass He whispered in her ear, “sister-in-law, you and I both know that the situation is set now. I have no other choice. It’s useless if the emperor doesn’t rush the Eunuch to death. I’m not a real member of the Xiao family. Now that big brother is no longer in charge, I have to think about the rest of my life. sister-in-law, please understand me. ”

Mu Lan could naturally understand Xiao Jiankai’s meaning.

At that time, the two of them had indeed reached an agreement.

Mu Lan did not have any power in the Peishan group.

She could only rope in Xiao Jiankai.

At that time, the two of them had also worked together to let Gu Yanqing rise to the top.

However, this son of hers was really… …

He could not be blamed.

Mu Lan sighed heavily in her heart.

However, the corner of her mouth was still abnormally cold. “What you said is true, but the overall situation is not certain yet. ”
