Chapter 135: Relatives Falling Out
Huo Tian listened at the door for a while. Without knowing any context about the situation, she couldn’t understand why the Si Family’s members had to make things difficult for Si Huan.
It was as if she was watching a television drama but didn’t know about the current events of the plot. This feeling was extremely unbearable. Without thinking, Huo Tian knocked on the door, attracting everyone’s attention.
Under everyone’s gaze, she said matter-of-factly, “Can anyone here explain the situation to me? I’m curious about what happened.”
Some of the Si Family’s members had just realized Huo Tian’s arrival. Their gazes wandered between Huo Tian and Si Huan, and their expressions became a little strange.
Si Li, who had the most authority among everyone, said in a low voice, “Miss Huo, this is our Si Family’s business. Putting aside the fact that you’re not a member of our Si Family, even if you already…”
“Third Granduncle.” Si Huan interrupted Si Li directly. He looked at this hale and hearty old man coldly and said with a hint of chilliness in his voice, “Third Granduncle, as a junior, I’ve always respected you a lot, but I hope you can keep to your place and don’t be lacking in self-respect.”
Si Huan was furious at the thought of Si Li treating Huo Tian as his future wife and almost saying it out loud. It was not that he was unwilling to tell Huo Tian his feelings, but he knew that now was not the time to confess his feelings.
Revealing his feelings for Huo Tian now would only push her further and further away. Si Li, this old fogy, had almost ruined his lifelong matter. Si Huan didn’t intend to leave Si Li any face.
After Si Huan directly mocked him for lacking self-respect, Si Li was stunned for an instant before anger immediately surged up.
He shot up to his feet immediately. As he moved too quickly, he couldn’t even stand steadily and pointed at Si Huan with a trembling hand.
Si Li wanted to scold him, but in the end, he only said, “You, you, you…” After a long while, he couldn’t even utter a complete sentence.
Si Li’s biological son, Si Lian, was Si Huan’s uncle. He immediately anxiously supported his father and turned to glare at Si Huan. “Si Huan! You’re really too much! Is it not enough that you sold the company for a girl who has neither a family background nor looks? You even want to drive my father to death from anger?! He’s your elder!”
Only then did Huo Tian understand the situation a little. She pointed at the tip of her nose in surprise and asked in disbelief, “So you guys fought because of me? Why? Because Si Huan brought me to the banquet?”
She looked at Si Huan for confirmation. Si Huan’s cold attitude towards the Si Family seemed to have been immediately melted by the spring breeze. He smiled warmly and said, “Don’t take it to heart. They just want to find a reason to snatch the shares in my hands. You happen to be the excuse they found. Don’t worry, I can handle the current situation.”
Huo Tian was about to heave a sigh of relief when she heard Si Lian’s mocking voice. “Si Huan, you’re really an infatuated guy. To think that you’re still protecting that good-for-nothing girl even now.”
Si Huan’s bone-chilling gaze immediately swept over. Si Lian couldn’t help but shudder, but he immediately summoned up his courage and said, “Si Huan, for her sake, you ignored the company’s regulations and directly transferred the company’s movable funds without seeking approval from the board of directors. This has caused the company a huge loss! We have the right to raise doubts about your actions. We have the right to call a board meeting and dilute your shares according to the regulations!”
“Rights?” Si Huan sneered, his expression turning even colder. “It seems like you’ve forgotten who gave you your rights. If it wasn’t for me being softhearted and letting you guys buy the shares of the shipping company, would you have had the chance to talk to me about rights here?”
“That’s a separate matter. You don’t need to care about how we got the shares. Since we have the shares of the shipping company, we have the right to know about the company’s operations. You mobilizing the shipping company’s funds for no reason is harming our shared interests. Is it wrong for us to ask you for an explanation?”
“If you guys just want an explanation, I’ve already explained things to the company’s finance department. Although I gave the order to withdraw the funds, I told them not to execute it thereafter. They just need to create the impression that they are mobilizing the funds. You guys are just using this as an excuse to stop the new energy project I’m preparing for.”
The expressions of everyone from the Si Family changed. They didn’t dare to meet Si Huan’s penetrating gaze and involuntarily avoided it.
Si Huan smiled slightly. “Looks like I guessed right. But is there any benefit for you guys to stop me from investing in the new energy project?”
This was what Si Huan found ridiculous. These Si Family’s members were so shortsighted that it was unbelievable. In order to suppress his reputation in the entire corporation, they actually stopped a project with such bright prospects.
Si Huan suddenly felt a little annoyed. “Everyone, the company’s investment plans and projects are not tools for you to fight for power.”
