Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xi Kang was about to explain when the call was hung up.

He listened to the busy tone on the phone and his expression became even uglier. “This bunch of ingrates! Have they forgotten how my father treated them before?”

They actually dared to dismiss him? These ungrateful things!

However, after his anger subsided, Xi Kang knew that it was not impossible for the board of directors to do something like this. The most important thing now was to find someone to replace him and continue taking over Xi Group.

That way, he could ensure that he still had some benefits in Xi Group.

He thought about it and decided to let Xi Wan take over Xi Group. This way, he could also block the public opinion outside and not be embarrassed.

However, he had already been blacklisted by Xi Wan, so he borrowed his assistant’s phone and gave Xi Wan a call. “Xi Wan, it’s me.”

He sounded anxious as he was afraid that Xi Wan would hang up and continue to block him. Hence, he did not give Xi Wan any time to react and continued, “I want you to come back and take over Xi Group.”

When Xi Wan heard this, she was indeed stunned. “How much of a shock did you suffer?”

“It’s not because I’m agitated. I thought a lot after this incident. I let you and your brother down in the past and I want to make it up to you now.” Xi Kang laughed dryly as he explained, “I’m old and I don’t want to mess around anymore. This is ultimately the world for young people like you! ‘

From what he said, this matter had something to do with Xi Ze. So, Xi Wan turned on the speaker so that Xi Ze could hear what Xi Kang said.

“I’ve thought about it. Xi Group will be handed over to you sooner or later. Why don’t we take this opportunity to let you take over officially while I retire behind the scenes? It’ll also give me some time to make it up to vou and Xi Ze.

Xi Wan said without hesitation, “Dream on.”

Xi Ze followed closely behind. “Wishful thinking.”

Xi Kang paused for a moment. He did not expect Xi Ze to still be by Xi Wan’s side.

His laughter was filled with awkvvardness. “Haha, Xi Ze is there too? You heard me. I already admitted my mistake. Come home.”

Xi Ze held back his curses and was about to strike when Xi Wan elbowed him and said to Xi Kang, “Since you know you’re wrong, you have to have an attitude of admitting your mistake.”

The more Xi Kang listened, the more upset he felt. Why did these words sound like he was the son?

However, pleasing Xi Wan was the most important thing now, so Xi Kang said, “Xi Ze’s assets are still there. I’m just temporarily taking care of them for him. As long as he is willing to come back, he can take the money at any time. I can go through the procedures immediately when I’m discharged.”

Xi Wan replied faintly, “Mm.”

Xi Kang was speechless.

Shouldn’t they be concerned about why he was in the hospital?

A sense of desolation rose in his heart as if no one would see him off if he died. However, he still wanted to grab onto the last hope that could save him. He said, “It’s great that you’re back to take over Xi Group. Our family will be reunited.”

“I won’t take over Xi Group,” Xi Wan said.

“Why?” Xi Kang could not believe it. “This is Xi Group! You don’t have to fight for property and can easily rise to the top. What a glorious thing it is!”

“Too tired,” Xi Wan replied.

Xi Kang doubted his ears again.

Xi Wan continued, “Why don’t you let Xi Ze go back and take over Xi Group? ”

Without waiting for Xi Kang to speak, Xi Ze resolutely refused. “Why are you pushing the dirty job to me?”

Xi Kang was completely speechless. He never thought that the Xi Group would one day be despised by others.

If the two of them could see Xi Kang’s current expression, they would know how pale his face was.

“This is a joyous occasion. So many people want to come in! Back then, Xi Shu wanted to come in and seek a position, but I didn’t let her in!”

“Let her take over Xi Group then,” Xi Wan said.

“How can I let someone who is not related by blood take over Xi Group? Moreover, she doesn’t have any business ability at all. She’s still far inferior to the two of you.”

Xi Wan and Xi Ze didn’t answer. Xi Kang continued to play the emotional card. “To be honest, if it weren’t for this mother and daughter duo, Xi Group wouldn’t have been pushed to the forefront and its stock price wouldn’t have fallen. I wanted to save Xi Group but I was lying in the hospital, unable to do anything. So, I can only rely on the two of you. If Xi Group goes bankrupt, you and your brother will lose your shares.”

“I still have shares in Su Group,” Xi Wan replied.

“I still have the scholarship and my abilities,” Xi Ze added.

Xi Kang was completely speechless..
