He walked to the table, opened a drawer, took out a blue brocade box and handed it to her: "You should remember this thing, right?"
Lan Xiya opened the brocade box and found the diamond and crystal butterfly brooch lying quietly inside. This was the only thing she took a fancy to at the auction. How could she not remember it?
"Since you left, Mr. Lei often comes to the study in the middle of the night and stares at this butterfly brooch in a daze. Maybe he is missing you!" Seeing a touch of tenderness in her eyes, Andre continued to add.
Lan Xiya held the butterfly brooch in her hands and noticed a family photo on the table. Could it be that the little boy in the photo was him?
When he was young, he still had a childish and happy smile on his face. The kind couple beside him should be his parents, right? But why had she never heard the servants mention their affairs at the manor?
Her burning eyes also made Andre notice her abnormality. Seeing her staring at the photo, he thought of some secrets he could tell her, which might change her view of Mr. Lei.
"These are Mr. Lei's parents. His mother died of cancer when he was eight years old. A few years later, the master also died in a traffic accident. But on the day of the master's funeral, your father appeared in front of the master with ill intentions.
Before his death, he threatened to acquire Ray's Group..."
"That's why he hates my father so much? That's why he attacked me? Is that so?" Only now did Lan Xiya finally wake up.
"Yes, because Mr. Lei suspected that the master's death was not innocent, but was caused by your father's secret actions!" Andre told her everything without any secret.
"No, my dad is not such a despicable person..." In her eyes, although Long Junsheng controlled her very strictly, he was also a kind father. She did not believe that her father
will do this kind of thing.
"You are too naive! Decades ago, your father was a well-known gangster in the underworld. Later he got involved in the real estate industry. He once used despicable means to sabotage the construction projects of Lei Group, which almost caused Lei Group to go bankrupt. Fortunately, he got it later.
With the help of an old friend, Mary's father "Sean Sofaro", he unconditionally helped Ray's Group get through the difficulties..." Andre told her everything she didn't know at once today.
she.
Lan Xiya listened carefully. It turned out that under his cold appearance, he had gone through so many ups and downs...
An hour later, the conversation between the two ended, but Lan Xiya did not leave the study. Instead, she sat blankly on the office chair where Lei Sui usually sat. Just like his usual expression, she kept looking at the smiling person in the photo.
A wonderful family of three!
Days passed day by day, a week passed, and they still did not find Lei Bing in the waters of the north coast.
Zuo Shaoyi knew what kind of situation he was facing now. In addition to spending a lot of money to clear the police, he also recruited more than a dozen skilled mercenaries from abroad. All of them were veterans who had retired from abroad. Their duty was to 24
Hours, protect him personally!
The existence of these mercenaries makes it not easy for the dark organization to assassinate Zuo Shaoyi. Every time Zuo Shaoyi uses a car, he will first check whether there is a bomb installed in the car. The special car has also been replaced with expensive bulletproof glass. This
This time he was well prepared, making it difficult for those who wanted to assassinate him.
"Lie, are you just going to let Zuo Shaoyi go like this? Not to mention Lei Shao's life or death, even if Luo Bao and other brothers die, and Simon's injuries are all over his body, we can't let him go!" Lan Yu saw them.
He hasn't taken action for a long time, and he can't sit still for a long time.
Andre looked back at her and found Lan Xiya standing not far from them.
Lan Xiya just heard her sister's words and found that Andre had seen her, so she walked out.
"Sister, do you have to kill him to be considered as revenge?" In her mind, the word "death" is too heavy.
"Why are you here? Aren't you resting in your room?" His sister's voice came from behind, which Lan Yu didn't notice at all.
"How can I sleep? When I close my eyes now, all I see in my mind is him." Since learning the truth that day in the study, Lan Xiya's view of Lei Bin has also been changing day by day.
.
"I don't allow you to think wildly. You must give birth to the child in a healthy way, you know?" Lan Yu also sees her change in his heart. Is it good or bad?
"It's okay, don't worry too much about me! I just heard your conversation just now, and I want to take revenge on Zuo Shaoyi. Killing him will only give him a relief, but it will not let him get the punishment he suffered."
In the past week, she seemed to have suddenly changed. She looked much more mature. Could it be because she was about to become a mother?
Andre nodded in agreement with her point of view. If he wanted to kill Zuo Shaoyi directly, no matter how many mercenaries there were around him, the dark organization could do it as long as they deployed carefully, but if they wanted him to experience all the torture, it would take more than just one bullet.
It can be done.
Just like what Mr. Lei did to Long Junsheng, he could kill him at any time, but Mr. Lei did not do so. Instead, he took away and destroyed the things he loved and cared about the most one by one, making him disappear from heaven in an instant.
Fall into purgatory.
"I understand what you mean, don't worry, we won't kill Zuo Shaoyi directly, but we will make his life worse than death!" Andre's eyes radiated a light, as if he had everything figured out
plan of.
"Andre, what's going on in your head?" Lan Yu felt that something was wrong with him. He must be hiding something from her.
"You will know this soon." After saying this, Andre turned and left. He had more important things to do right away.
"Xia..."
"I think he has his own plan. Sister, don't think too much about it. Do you still doubt his loyalty?" Seeing through her thoughts, Lan Xiya might as well speak out.
"There are absolutely no traitors in the organization!" Lan Yu immediately explained.
"Then since that's the case, you don't have to worry anymore. Let's go. Maybe as he said, we will know his plan soon!" Lan Xiya believes in Andre very much, and his plan will definitely not let him go.
They are disappointed.
Three days later, Andre walked into her room holding two red envelopes, something like certificates.
"Put this away, you will be the young lady of the Lei family from now on!" Andre handed her the two marriage certificates in his hand.
When Lan Xiya heard this, she frowned. After taking it, she opened it and saw that there were photos of her and Lei Bing on it. However, they had never taken these photos before. There was also a place for issuance and registration on the certificate.
Is it Las Vegas?
"Lie, what's going on?" Lan Xiya was full of curiosity about these two unfamiliar certificates.
Facing her surprise, Andre just said softly: "The photo is a composite. As for the method I used to get you and Mr. Lei to register their marriage in Las Vegas, you don't need to know. You just need to know
You know that this certificate is legally recognized. From now on, you are Lei Bing's legal wife and the young lady of the Lei family. From now on, you will be in charge of the Lei Group!"
"Wait, you want me to be in charge of Lei's Group? But I don't know anything?" This stumped Lan Xiya.
"Don't worry, I will be by your side to help you. I have been with Mr. Lei all these years. I know the operation and internal structure of the group very well!" Although Mr. Lei is not here, Andre will never let Mr. Lei.
The group languished.
"But even so, I don't know anything about that aspect, can it be done?" Lan Xiya was obviously not confident in this.
"You are now the young lady of the Lei family. The Lei Group is everything to the Lei family. It is the hard work of the master and Mr. Lei for many years. You can only say yes, and you must not say no!" Andre suddenly became very nervous.
Get serious.
Seeing the persistence in her eyes, Lan Xiya seemed to be infected by his emotions and nodded involuntarily: "Yes, yes, I will work hard to learn from you and learn to be a qualified young lady!"
"Very good. The company is now in panic because of Mr. Lei's disappearance. You can go to the company with me tomorrow. You don't have to say anything, just sit there with all your strength!" Andre has already done everything for her.
Preparedly and fully escorted the mother and son.
Nodding, she knows what to do!
****
She is now less than two months pregnant, and her figure has not changed. With Lan Yu's preparation, Lan Xiya put on a set of mature business attire, a white shirt, a black skirt, and her head.
Her long curly hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, and she wore the same series of diamond necklaces and earrings around her neck and earlobes. She looked much more capable overall today, but the childishness on her face could only be attributed to time.
It's polished!
Andre transferred ten members of the organization from the base, each wearing a black suit and looking energetic. Their purpose was to escort the young lady.
"Lie, I'm ready!" Lan Xiya walked downstairs calmly. She did seem to have changed a lot today.
"Okay, let's go!" The RV has been waiting outside the door for a long time.
This was Lei Bing's special car. After getting on it, Lan Xiya suddenly felt a heavy burden pressing on her. She looked at the scenery whizzing by outside the car window, as if it was her past with him.
, put everything aside now...
Twenty minutes later, the RV parked outside the Monica Building. Andre got out of the car first and opened the door for her. His move was seen by the employees in the building. They all opened their eyes in surprise and waited.
Look who's coming out of the car?
Andre is Lei Shi's most capable assistant. He is the second-in-command whether in the company or in other aspects. This is known to everyone in Lei's Group!
I usually see him and Mr. Lei coming in and out, but I don't see him opening the door for Mr. Lei. Could it be that the people in this car are more powerful than Mr. Lei?
The buzzing discussion attracted more and more employees to squeeze out of the window to have a look...
Lan Xiya sat in the car, took a deep breath, and slowly calmed down her nervous heart before taking the first step.
When she appeared in front of the group of talking staff, almost everyone couldn't believe that she was actually a woman in her early twenties?
"Let's go, the board of directors is still waiting for us!" Andre reminded from the side.
"Yeah." Accompanied by him, Lan Xiya stepped into the headquarters of Lei's Group for the first time.
Every step she took seemed particularly heavy. Perhaps it was because the burden on her shoulders was so heavy. She seemed to be several years older than her actual age today. From the moment she got off the car to now, the look on her face
There was not a trace of a smile, and he followed Andre cautiously and seriously the whole time.
"Sir, you're finally here. All the shareholders are here, and we're just missing you!" Anna ran over nervously as soon as she stepped out of the elevator on the 26th floor.
Andre was not in a hurry, pointed at Lan Xiya and introduced: "Anna, this is the young lady. From now on, you will be with the young lady!"
"Ah? Yes..." Anna looked at Lan Xiya next to Andre. It turned out that she was the fiancée that Mr. Lei publicly recognized in front of various media on the day of the charity party.
But despite this, her appearance in the company today did make her confused.
Lan Xiya saw the confusion in her eyes, but even she herself was very confused about her identity as a young lady.
In the high-level conference room, six directors have been waiting for almost half an hour. Each of these six directors holds 5% of the equity of Lei's Group, and the remaining 70% is all in Lei Bing's name!
"I'm sorry everyone, we're late!" Andre opened the door and led Lan Xiya into the conference room.
Lan Xiya's appearance made the six people present look at each other. They knew the identity of this woman. She was Long Junsheng's illegitimate daughter. Mr. Lei had publicly admitted his relationship with her before, but he thought it was the board of directors today and she appeared.
Doesn't it seem appropriate here?
"Mr. An, why do you bring a woman to the board of directors?" a director named Cheng first asked.
"Young Madam, please sit down!" Andre completely ignored his question, opened the main seat and let Lan Xiya sit down.
Behind her, there were two members of the organization, one on the left and one on the right. As for the rest of the members, they were all guarding the door of the external conference room!
Lan Xiya followed his instructions and remained silent, but she had to show her momentum and never let these directors see her weakness.
After Lan Xiya sat down, Andre stood beside her, and then answered their questions: "This is Miss Lan. I believe everyone here should be familiar with her, but she is attending the board of directors today, so...
The young lady of the Lei family attended as the young lady of the Lei family. Now Mr. Lei’s whereabouts are unknown. Apart from the young lady and the unborn young master in her belly, the Lei family has no direct relatives.”
"So what you mean is that 70% of the shares in Mr. Lei's name will be transferred to her name? From now on, she will be the major shareholder of Lei's Group?" They heard what Andre said.
intention, raised their doubts.
"No - Mr. Lei's whereabouts are unknown now, and we have no right to move any property rights belonging to him!" Andre immediately denied it.
"In that case, you might as well say what you mean directly and don't beat around the bush!" Several directors wanted to hear what he had to say. After all, he was Lei Bing's most trusted right-hand man.
Andre was silent for a few seconds, glanced sideways at Lan Xiya and then continued: "My idea is that from today on, the young lady will temporarily take over Mr. Lei's position until Mr. Lei comes back!"
"What if Mr. Lei never comes back?" In their eyes, Lei Sui had already died in the explosion and was eaten by fish in the sea, so they couldn't even find his body.
"If Mr. Lei can't come back, then his children will inherit it twenty years later!" Andre's voice suddenly became heavier. It was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with what he just said.
Andre's persistence made Lan Xiya admire him a little in her heart. As her sister said, there are absolutely no traitors in the organization!
"This... but the young lady is too young. I don't think she understands the operation of our Lei family at all!" This is the point that everyone is most concerned about.
"Young lady, you don't have to worry. I, Andre, promise you that although I don't have the talent of Mr. Lei to increase your income several times every year, I can definitely make you earn more every year."
There’s money to be made!”
Although they were still full of worries, the directors present could only choose to believe him, because no one else could shoulder the heavy burden of Ray's Group.
"Okay, we agree to let the young lady take over the position of president temporarily, but the position of general manager must be filled by you, so that we can safely hand over the group to the young lady to take care of it!" Their meaning is very obvious, the position of president is only for you.
He is nothing more than a puppet, an excuse for the outside world and the media.
They are only optimistic about the benefits that Ray's Group can bring to them. Compared with Lan Xiya, Andre is the general manager, which can reassure them.
"Okay, I will definitely do my best to bring Ray's Group to a higher level!" With their approval, Andre's plan was considered a successful first step.
Lan Xiya has been sitting next to him, thinking about her future destiny, clasping her hands. She will definitely work hard to make the six directors in front of her look at her with admiration in the future!
After the board meeting, Andre officially took Lan Xiya to familiarize herself with the environment on every floor of the company. This is the working environment she will work hard in the future.
When Lan Xiya walked out of the building, the warm sunshine surrounded her, and she couldn't help but look up at the sky, as if looking for that familiar figure from behind...
