Chapter 324: Chapter 0324: This Is Your Mother’s Dying Wish
Time flew by like a swift horse passing through a gap, and two days had gone by in a flash!
In these two days, Ye Xunhuan’s life could be described as very leisurely and comfortable, and the injuries on his face had even healed. However, today Ye Xunhuan suddenly received a phone call from Qin Rumeng.
Qin Rumeng told Ye Xunhuan that she was leaving. Upon hearing this, Ye Xunhuan almost jumped up, immediately planning to buy firecrackers to celebrate!
But when he heard that Qin Rumeng was also taking Tang Yurou with her, Ye Xunhuan was dumbfounded.
Qin Rumeng was taking Tang Yurou away, away to the capital!
Why on earth would she take Tang Yurou to the capital?
That place is shallow and full of bastards, not a single good person—knowing Tang Yurou’s personality, even if she’s under Qin Rumeng’s care, I bet she’ll definitely suffer a lot!
Ye Xunhuan was unwilling to let Tang Yurou go with her, even without the worry of suffering, he didn’t want Tang Yurou to get involved with Qin Rumeng.
What kind of person his aunt was, others might not understand, not be clear about, but didn’t he know?
If Tang Yurou stayed with Qin Rumeng for a while, who knows what this innocent and adorable girl would be taught to become!
If she ended up like Qin Rumeng, just the thought of it gave Ye Xunhuan a headache.
He absolutely could not let Tang Yurou go with Qin Rumeng.
So, Ye Xunhuan hurried over to find Qin Rumeng.
When he arrived at Qin Rumeng’s place, Ye Xunhuan found Tang Yurou was also there, which made him pause for a moment. Then he immediately said, "Auntie, what are you up to now? Why take Xiao Rou Rou with you if you’re leaving?"
"Xunhuan, it’s me who wants to go with Auntie!" Tang Yurou looked at Ye Xunhuan and said, "And I’ve already submitted my resignation to President Qiu!"
"Did she approve it?"
"No!"
"So why are you leaving?"
"The person the old lady wants, Qiu Ruoxi has to let go, whether she wants to or not!" Qin Rumeng suddenly spoke up at that moment, "I’ll call her later!"
"Auntie, seriously, why take Xiao Rou Rou with you?"
"Why should she stay here?"
"To work, of course!"
"Can’t she do that in the capital?" Qin Rumeng snorted, "And the platform of Fenghua Group is not smaller than that of Hwong Tu Corporation. After my training, I believe, she won’t be much worse than Qiu Ruoxi!"
"Auntie..."
"Xunhuan, I want to go with Auntie!" Tang Yurou suddenly spoke up once again, "I actually wanted to tell you the other day, but I didn’t know how to say it, so I never did!"
"Auntie, no, you have to give me an explanation today, or I won’t let her go!" Ye Xunhuan glanced at Tang Yurou, then said to Qin Rumeng.
"An explanation?" Qin Rumeng let out a cold laugh, "Come out with me, I’ll give you an explanation!"
As the words fell, Qin Rumeng promptly walked outside.
Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan said to Tang Yurou, "Xiao Rou Rou, wait here, I definitely won’t let her take you away, it’s so good for you to stay by my side!"
Tang Yurou wanted to stop Ye Xunhuan, but he dashed out like a gust of wind.
"Auntie, you can tell me now, right?"
"Xunhuan, you’re the young master of Fenghua Group, yet you still won’t return. In the future, to whom shall I leave this vast family business?" Qin Rumeng said coldly.
"Auntie, don’t you have it?" Ye Xunhuan replied nonchalantly, "Besides, you know, I’m not interested in this stuff!"
"Yes, you are not interested, but others are!" Qin Rumeng emphasized strongly, "The other members of the Qin family all want it!"
"But Auntie, you’re clinging tightly to it, not letting go. Why?"
"Auntie, if they want it, just give it to them, no big deal."
"Why the hell should the old lady give it to those ungrateful wolves?" Qin Rumeng said with disdain, "Even if I were to give it away, I wouldn’t give it to those ungrateful wolves!"
"You don’t want to take control of Fenghua Group right now, which is fine, but someone must help you hold the reins. Who can help you control it now?"
"Qiu Ruoxi?"
"I admit, she’s a rare business prodigy. Fenghua Group in her hands would thrive, but would Qiu Ruoxi give up Huangtu Group?"
Ye Xunhuan fell silent.
Would Qiu Ruoxi give up Huangtu Group?
She wouldn’t. It’s important to understand that Huangtu Group grew under her nurture, and to her, it’s like a child. Watching it grow step by step, how could Qiu Ruoxi possibly give it up!
"A merger would be too much!"
"A merger?" Qin Rumeng scoffed coldly, "Alright, a merger. Go ask Qiu Ruoxi if she agrees to let Fenghua Group swallow her Huangtu Group!"
"Auntie, why can’t Huangtu Group swallow Fenghua..."
"Would it be digestible?"
Ye Xunhuan fell silent again.
"Fenghua Group is yours. Whoever dares to snatch it, I’ll show them the wrath of a mother." Qin Rumeng said emphatically, "If you, the young master, won’t return and show your face, do you expect me to keep it up for you indefinitely?"
"How long can I keep it up for you?"
"Right now, I need to train a successor as soon as possible to avoid any disorder that crops up later!"
"So you’ve settled on Yu Rou?"
"Yes!" Qin Rumeng declared firmly, "She comes from a humble background, unlike Liu Qingcheng, who has too many identities and isn’t suitable for Fenghua Group."
"Yu Rou is different. With an ordinary background, even if she enters the company, no one can say anything!"
"And with me looking after her, she won’t have any trouble!"
"Auntie, the waters in the capital are shallow but teeming with crafty people!"
"Let those crafty people dare to bite, and I’ll dare to make them regret being born!" Qin Rumeng’s eyes suddenly became fierce.
"It seems you are dead set on taking Yu Rou away?" Ye Xunhuan said with a wry smile.
"Xunhuan, it’s not that your auntie is hard-hearted in separating the two of you, but I have no choice." Qin Rumeng sighed lightly, "You understand nothing about the company. When you take over later, will you know if the people beneath you are engaging in fraud?"
"Ruoxi is business-savvy, and I admire her capabilities, but even if she took over, she would need time to get accustomed. Not every company is the same!"
"Especially Fenghua Group, with its intricate complexities. Now, I’m going to take Yu Rou there and focus on training her, letting her step up gradually, get familiar with all the departments, and then move to the foreground. That way, when the time comes, your auntie can rest assured handing the company over to you!"
"I can tell, this girl is pure-hearted and kind, and she’s genuinely devoted to you!"
"Auntie, do you think she can withstand all this?"
"Then do you think you can protect her for a lifetime?"
Ye Xunhuan once again fell silent.
Could he?
He definitely couldn’t.
"Xunhuan, you can’t protect her forever. So, you must make her stand on her own." Qin Rumeng’s expression immediately became serious, "When the Crown Prince’s struggle comes, along with Tang Yurou, Qiu Ruoxi, and me, you will hold the strongest position."
"Auntie, I really have no interest in that position!"
"It’s your mother’s dying wish!" Qin Rumeng bellowed, "If you don’t fight for it, go tell her at your mother’s grave!"
Ye Xunhuan’s expression slowly turned dim.

(PS: Recommending a good friend’s book "Demon Army Knife," authored by Han Yixiao, it’s an urban, hot-blooded, ambiguously romantic tale. Siblings encountering a book drought might want to check it out, with over eighty thousand words, it’s ripe for reading!)
