Xuxu’s heart skipped a beat. She asked, “Ah Sheng, is something troubling you?”

Yan Rusheng snapped out of his daze and turned back to smile at Xuxu. An eyebrow of his shot up. Her question had baffled him. “Why?”

“You have not played this CD for a long time,” Xuxu said. “I remember in the past that you would only listen to this CD when you’re feeling troubled.”

“Really?” Yan Rusheng hadn’t realized, but now that Xuxu mentioned it, he started recollecting memories for a moment and realized that she was right.

Indeed, Xuxu understood him much better than himself at times.

As he thought of it, he smiled and shook his head. “Nothing. I just happened to choose it randomly.”

“Oh.” Xuxu knew that Yan Rusheng didn’t want to talk about unhappy matters with her. Hence, she didn’t probe any further. Actually, she already knew in her heart that First Aunt’s selling off her shared had deeply troubled him.

So most likely, it was because of such a matter again.

The nostalgic music coupled with sounds of streaming water reverberated in the car. Xuxu propped one elbow on the window and peered out, her eyes showing a mix of plex emotions.

Yan Rusheng stole a few glances from the rear mirror. With a smile, he asked, “What’s on your mind?”

Xuxu retracted her gaze and looked at Yan Rusheng. “Let me go and have a talk with First Aunt.”

Even though she knew that First Aunt was determined, what else could she do? How else could she share his burdens?

If the person wasn’t First Aunt, she would know for sure that Flourish & Prosper’s shares wouldn’t have gotten into the hands of outsiders.

If he could buy back all the shares from the minor shareholders within a week, why couldn’t he prevent the shares from being sold?

This time, he lost it to kinship.

Yan Rusheng said, “It’s too late.”

He sounded calm and collected. Even a hint of a smile was detected at the corners of his mouth.

Xuxu widened her mouth in shock, but Yan Rusheng turned around and was quick to fort her. “Don’t worry about it. We’ll talk about it again later.”

His fort made Xuxu’s heart uneasy. She sat up straight and held on to the front seat for support, and then she stared at him. “Who did First Aunt transfer her shares to?”

This person must be extremely wealthy and powerful to be able to buy 30% of Flourish & Prosper’s shares.

“Paramount!” replied Yan Rusheng and his tone of voice was nonchalant as usual.

Xuxu clenched her fingers that her nails almost dug into the leather of the car seat.

“Paramount.” She was dumbfounded. “Ah Heng’s Aunt?”

Yan Rusheng nodded lightly with an ‘Mm’ .

First Aunt must have done it on purpose. Wasn’t she aware of the many disagreements between Grandmother and Paramount in the past? Didn’t she know that Grandmother despised Paramount all these while?

Yet, she chose to do it that way.

Xuxu felt a chill residing in her heart. As she looked at Yan Rusheng, tears started brimming in her eyes. “Has the contract been signed?”

Yan Rusheng nodded. “This Friday, they will officially send people to station at the office.”

Paramount sending their people to Flourish & Prosper? What a major insult! Xuxu was in a daze. “Does Father know about this?”

Every tendon in her hands seemed to pop up.

A ball of fire surged in her heart.

“Not yet.” Yan Rusheng shook his head and said, “I don’t know how to break the news to him.”

He had informed Attorney Xiao to keep this matter under wraps for the time being.

Xuxu’s tone sounded certain. “So is this what worries you the most?”

Yan Rusheng took a deep breath. Worry filled his face. He added, “He had just gone through a heart surgery not too long ago.”

Xuxu lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Yes, indeed. What would be his reaction if he knew that First Aunt had sold the shares to Paramount?
