Chapter 419 - Chapter 419: Chapter Four-Hundred and Nineteen: Unexpected Development (2/2)
Xi Cheng was stunned for a moment before he roared, “Shi Nian! Control your woman!”
Shi Nian went and held Yun Nan’s hand. “That was well done, Yun Nan!” Han Yuan uttered coldly. “I’m sorry for what happened with Fang Xi. I was blind. It’s my son who isn’t worthy of her! I will pray to Buddha for the rest of my life and wish Fang Xi and Ye Kun a long and happy life!”
“Mom! How could you?!” Xi Cheng cried out, filled with despair. ‘How can my own mother treat me like this?’
Han Yuan ignored him. She turned to the directors and stated, “Everyone, I’m also one of the Xi Corporation’s directors. What do you guys think of my suggestion? Xi Cheng may be my son, but the Xi Corporation was founded together by the Xi family and each of your ancestors. We can’t have the corporation lose everything for one rotten apple!”
The directors that weren’t of the Xi family were impressed by Han Yuan’s impartial words, and even the Xi family’s elders nodded. Only a few were silently observing the situation, and no one spoke up for Xi Cheng.
Han Yuan couldn’t help but feel disappointed. She’d spent all these years paving the way for Xi Cheng but he still remained so unpopular among the board of directors. If it was in the past, she would’ve thought that these directors were too black-hearted. But now, she truly realized that it was because her son was too great a disappointment and had nothing to do with anyone else!
Han Yuan looked at Shi Nian and asked, “Shi Nian, you said earlier that you’ve talked to the Ye and Liang corporations and you’ll all help the Xi Corporation out?”
Shi Nian nodded. “Yes, Auntie. Ye Kun, Liang Han, and I have everything all prepared. Ye Tang and Liang Han’s older brothers all fully support us.”
Han Yuan wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes as she thanked him earnestly. “I can’t thank you boys enough! The Xi family will remember your kindness!”
“Auntie, there’s no need for that. Our four families are one united entity. It’s only right for us to help each other,” Shi Nian replied hurriedly.
Han Yuan looked toward one of the Xi family elders and sighed, “Granduncle, see how capable other people’s children are—able to take charge and shoulder responsibilities by themselves and be a credit to their family—whereas my son has disgraced the Xi family. I’ve let down the Xi family’s ancestors for having such a disappointing son. I’m guilty of doing wrong to the Xi family!”
Han Yuan’s tears fell as she finished. The Xi family’s granduncle’s heart went out to her, and he sighed, “It’s not your fault. Xi Cheng’s an adult; he has to take responsibility for his own actions. Niece-in-law, you did the right thing.” He turned to the others. “We’ll do as you say! Do you agree, fellow directors?”
