Chapter 180 How can verbal promises compare to the equity you actually get?
Chapter 180 How can verbal promises compare to the equity you actually get?
Mrs. Xiang said hurriedly, "Fei Fei, let Jia Peng promise you that from now on, Mom will help you watch over him and will never let him make mistakes again."
She turned to look at her son and said sternly, "Jiapeng, you and your wife must promise."
Xiang Jiapeng was beaten by his father. Although it hurt a lot, his mind was completely clear. He immediately raised his hand and raised three fingers, and solemnly promised, "I, Xiang Jiapeng, promise to my wife Fu Qifei that I will never look for other women again. From now on, I will be wholeheartedly devoted to her. If you break this oath, call me..."
Fu Qifei looked up at him and spoke slowly, "I'll ask you to leave the house with nothing, and all your property will belong to Yan Chen alone."
Xiang Jiapeng said sincerely, "Just ask me to leave the house with nothing, and all the property will belong to Yan Chen alone."
After swearing, Xiang Jiapeng softened his voice, his eyes full of love, "Wife, can you forgive me now?"
Fu Qifei curved her lips and asked, "You'll only love me from now on?"
Xiang Jiapeng nodded hurriedly, "Of course, I'll drive that woman away right away."
"Fei Fei, don't worry. Mom will arrange for people to go to Hong Kong tonight to drive that woman away. She will never let her affect the relationship between you and Jiapeng again." Mrs. Xiang also spoke quickly, fearing that the daughter-in-law from the Fu family would make a big deal out of this.
Fu Qifei nodded slightly and continued to ask, "What if I only gave birth to Yan Chen as a child in this life?"
Xiang Jiapeng blurted out, "Children are treasures given by God, and cannot be forced. If that's the case, having Yan Chen as our child is enough. If we devote all our energy to nurturing him, he will definitely be excellent."
Although Mrs. Xiang was not happy that Yan Chen was the only grandson, she thought it was just a momentary angry remark from her daughter-in-law and did not argue. She knew what was more important in the current situation. She comforted Fu Qifei softly, "Don't worry, Feifei, I will only recognize the grandson you gave birth to. Other women have no chance."
Seeing Fu Qifei's smile deepen, Xiang Jiapeng slowly let go of the worry in his heart. He felt tired but also secretly pleased. It wasn't difficult to coax his wife. Then he saw Fu Qifei's delicate and plump lips utter a few crisp words.
"Then Jiapeng should transfer all his assets to Yanchen."
"What...what?" Xiang Jiapeng's heart, which had just been at peace, was suddenly lifted up again. He almost thought he was hallucinating. "Fei Fei, are you saying that the assets under your name should be transferred to Yan Chen's name?"
Fu Qifei smiled brightly, "Yes, didn't you say that you would only love me in the future and that you wanted to have only Yan Chen as your child? Since Yan Chen is your only child, then our assets will eventually belong to him."
Xiang Lu's eyes were like sharp blades as he stared straight at Fu Qifei. He said in a deep voice, "Qifei, this isn't right. Yan Chen is still too young to have so many assets under his name. It's dangerous for a child to carry so much money into a busy city. I can assure you that only your child will inherit our eldest wife's assets. It won't be any other illegitimate children."
Fu Qifei's expression remained unchanged as she calmly responded to Xiang Lu's gaze. "Father-in-law, even a signed contract can be broken, let alone a promise. Jiapeng and I made a solemn vow back then, and he still cheated on me."
"Fei Fei, I promise this time!"
Fu Qifei folded his hands on his knees and chuckled softly. His voice was gentle, but it sounded like the whisper of a devil. "Jiapeng, you promised me a golden house to hide your beloved. I thought you meant gold as the decoration material, but I didn't expect you to hide a beloved outside to shock me inside."
Xiang Jiapeng: ...
How could she, a young lady from a wealthy family, not only remember but also take seriously the sweet words that lovers exchanged so long ago?
"Or perhaps, your secret lover is a way for you to become a queen, just like Emperor Wu of Han did to Empress Chen, and then drive me off the throne? I've always felt that Empress Chen's mother was from a prominent family, and she started out with a good hand, but she ended up like that because she had no power. If she had become empress, and the power she held was enough to hold Emperor Wu hostage, then he probably wouldn't have dared to treat her like that."
Xiang Jiapeng's eyes widened. How come he hadn't noticed before that Fu Qifei was so fond of sophistry? ! !
"Fei Fei, I won't do this to you. Even if you don't believe me, your last name is Fu. You have your father-in-law and uncle behind you. I..."
"Alright, Qifei," Xiang Lu frowned slightly, interrupting his son who was about to speak without thinking, "Since you are worried, then transfer half of Jiapeng's assets to Yanchen. However, Jiapeng will still have to manage them until Yanchen reaches adulthood."
He finally understood. Fu Qifei had gone through so much trouble just to get some security. Fortunately, Jiapeng only owned two large houses, three shops, and an 8% stake in the Ao Jing Hotel. He could give him half. After all, it was his grandson, so it wouldn't be cheap for anyone else.
Fu Qifei was satisfied. "Yan Chen has 2% of Ao Jing's shares, so let's just round it up."
Having said that, Xiang Jiapeng naturally couldn't refuse anymore. Since he agreed to transfer the shares, he said it in a nice way, "I will have someone draft a contract and file it tomorrow morning to transfer the shares of the Ao Jing Hotel to Yan Chen's name."
Xiang Jiapeng did not forget to bring up the old story, his smile as affectionate as when they were in love, "Fei Fei, can you forgive me now? I really won't do it again."
As for the golden house mentioned in the previous topic, he didn't dare to mention it again. If he really wanted to build a golden house, how much would it cost?
Fu Qifei looked at the person in front of her. Now that she had the equity, she could deal with it casually. After all, she didn't want to divorce yet, and the relationship didn't want to be too strained. If she wanted to fleece the sheep, she had to raise them well before she could continue. The Xiang family's property would belong to her son in the future.
Otherwise, wouldn’t she have suffered a huge loss?
Xiang Jiapeng: ...Who would dare to quarrel with you? I still want to claim the inheritance!
But just because things didn't get out of hand didn't mean Fu Qifei would forgive him so easily. Someone with an unclean heart should be left alone to let the wind cleanse them.
Well, it was mainly because she had been looking at Jiapeng with distaste lately! She just wanted to use this as an opportunity to make a point, and she would never let herself down.
Fu Qifei shook his head slightly. "You should have a period of reflection after making a mistake. Isn't that too much?"
Xiang Jiapeng smiled flatteringly, "It's not too much, it's not too much. I will definitely reflect on it and ask for my wife's forgiveness as soon as possible."
Fu Qifei snorted, stood up with a polite smile, and said goodbye to her parents-in-law in a gentle manner.
He smiled kindly at his wife, "Jiapeng needs to reflect on this. It's okay for you two young couples to quarrel, but you should be careful when you are out there."
Fu Qifei lowered her eyes and smiled. Before she could speak, she spoke to Jiapeng, "Don't worry, Mom. We know what to do."
"You should get some rest early."
Xiang Jiapeng followed behind Fu Qifei, lowered his posture, and said all kinds of sweet words.
In the study, Xiang Lu and his wife finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the two men leaving.
Fu Qifei is willing to give Jiapeng a period of reflection, which means she's not truly cold-hearted and still has feelings for him. If she were to restore their respectful relationship as soon as she promised to give him equity, that would be truly terrible.
Fu Qifei listened to the sweet words of those around her and accepted them all. She was very rational about this marriage, but why would she refuse someone who was willing to lower his posture to coax her?
The equity...her son's is hers!
Sweet words...are also meant to coax her.
She didn't suffer any loss at all. But Xiang Jiapeng, who had been a rich young master for so long, must feel uncomfortable when he suddenly had to humble himself and coax others.
The more Fu Qifei thought about Xiang Jiapeng feeling uncomfortable, the more he enjoyed Xiang Jiapeng's flattery.
