Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The talented young man who had been eyeing Ye Xiaoxi all along was now completely ignited with desire. He wished he could immediately approach Ye Xiaoxi and propose to her.

Ten percent of the shares – that could be worth nearly a hundred billion when cashed out. It was enough wealth to last ten lifetimes!

Unlike the other sons of the Yuan family, who had initially been shocked and were now becoming angry, they had worked diligently for the Yuan family for so many years.

Yet, they hadn’t received nearly as many shares as Ye Xiaoxi had upon her return to the family. Why did she get so much?

It seemed incredibly unfair.

But no one dared to voice their objections. Old Master Yuan had always ruled with an iron fist. Anyone who crossed him was asking for trouble.

Moreover, even if they wanted to object, they couldn’t. The Yuan family’s fortune was amassed by their father, and it was up to him to decide how to allocate it. Others had no right to interfere.

Yuan Luochen sneered and deliberately said to Yuan Xudong, “Big brother, you’ve toiled for the company, but in the end, an insignificant girl gets more shares than you. Are you really okay with this?”

“The foundation of the Yuan family was built by our father. He has the right to decide as he pleases. Others have no say in this matter,” Yuan Xudong replied calmly.

Yuan Luochen didn’t believe it. His brother was pretending to be magnanimous.

It must be an act.

Old Master Yuan was about to bring Ye Xiaoxi down from the stage and return to their main table. He glanced at his eight sons and said, “Did you all hear what I just said? In the future, take good care of Xiaoxi. Don’t have any unnecessary thoughts.”

Yuan Luochen suppressed his frustration and said with a smile, “Dad, the Yuan family’s fortune was built by you. We brothers have no right to object. No matter how you arrange things, we will absolutely follow without any objections.”

This statement was very much in line with Old Master Yuan’s wishes.

Yuan family’s third son couldn’t help but taunt Yuan Luochen after hearing his flattery, “Brother, isn’t that exactly what big brother just said to you? You’re quick to learn and sell yourself, aren’t you?”

Yuan Luochen’s expression changed slightly, “I think what big brother said makes sense, so I learned from him. Are you trying to mock me with insinuations? Are you jealous that Dad handed over the company’s shares to Xiaoxi?”

Yuan family’s third son tried to explain, “I didn’t mean it that way…”

Old Master Yuan was impatient, “Enough, I don’t want to hear you bickering.”

Everyone immediately fell silent.

Old Master Yuan held Ye Xiaoxi’s hand and spoke with authority, “The ten percent of shares are my compensation to Xiaoxi. She’s a girl and doesn’t have any assets. How can she stand on her own in her family? As for you eight brothers, I won’t mistreat you either. Whoever excels will receive forty-five percent of the company’s shares. The remaining share will be divided to the rest of you and it’s more than enough to secure your future.”

Old Master Yuan held ninety percent of the company’s shares, and after deducting the inheritor’s forty-five percent and the ten percent given to Ye Xiaoxi, the remaining shares were divided among the other seven sons. Each of them would get about five percent.

The inheritor and non-inheritor would differ by nearly ten times!

The value behind this was in the hundreds of billions!

Old Master Yuan’s words made everyone present alert.

Old Master Yuan didn’t care about the tricks and schemes his sons were planning. He just wanted his granddaughter to be happy. As for who would take over the company, it would depend on their abilities.

Lady Elizabeth and her daughter were seated at the table next to Old Master Yuan and could hear their conversation clearly.

She admonished her daughter, “Mr. Yuan seems to like this granddaughter of his. Don’t cause any trouble and get along with her. It could benefit you in the future if you marry into the Yuan family.”

“Yes, I understand,” Elizabeth Qianqian replied dismissively.

However, her gaze couldn’t help but shift towards Yuan Xudong.

Dinner came to an end, and the grand ball was about to begin. Ye Xiaoxi, as the star of the evening, was to open the first dance with a gentleman of her choice.

Ye Xiaoxi was very nervous. Old Master Yuan looked at his granddaughter with encouraging eyes and said, “Xiaoxi, go find someone you like and start the beautiful banquet.”

Although Xiaoxi was already twenty years old, Old Master Yuan was reluctant to see her married off. However, he also wanted to help her choose an outstanding young man in all aspects.

After nurturing Xiaoxi for a few more years, he would then marry her off.

Ye Xiaoxi nodded and lifted her dress to move through the crowd.

All the unmarried men knew what it meant when Ye Xiaoxi appeared..
