“Yes, what else could it be?”
Rorey covered her face to cry. “Mum, I merely want to be happy. Why is it so hard?”
“Rorey, don’t cry. Mum will deal with Yunis.”
Xenia was extremely mad and was about to call Yunis immediately.
However, Rorey pulled her aside while crying miserably. “Mum, it’s useless. I have nothing, so they will not care about me. Do you understand? I only require 20% of the shares now. As long as I obtain those shares, the Ji family will emphasize and prioritize me. Do you understand?”
“I understand. Mum understands. Don’t cry, my baby. I will find a solution for you. Please rest on the bed while I ask Yunis to come over. Then, I will convince your dad to give you 20% of the shares.”
Xenia quickly pacified Rorey as she called Yunis.
On the phone call, Xenia created a dramatic scene as she cried out loud. “Yunis, where are you now? Come over now! Rorey said that she wants to abort! What exactly happened between the two of you? Why would she suddenly have such thoughts when the two of you are dating so happily?”
“What?”
Yunis was instantly alarmed. “Ask her to stay at home. I will come right away.”
After she hung up the call, Xenia gave Rorey a comforting look. Then, in accordance with her promise to Rorey, she went to the study.
At this time, Tang Seneca was looking at documents in the study. He responded when he heard a knock on the door.
Xenia came in with a cup of ginseng tea. When Tang Seneca saw her, he asked plainly, “Has Rorey finally calmed down now?”
“Yes, she had been creating a ruckus for quite a while.”
After placing the ginseng tea on the table, Xenia walked behind Tang Seneca to rub his shoulders.
Tang Seneca didn’t react much to it. “She is already an adult. Tell her not to be so pampered anymore. As someone from the Ji family, she should not behave so unscrupulously.”
“How is she being pampered? The Ji family is wealthy. Hence, they looked down on Rorey’s upbringing and were always condescending to her. Old man, you know that Rorey never had a father since young, and she had always treated you like her real father. You had promised before to give Rorey 20% of your shares as her dowry when she marries.
“Now, Rorey can be considered to be married. Considering that I have sacrificed so much for the Tang family all these years without complaining, can you transfer the shares to her? In that case, she would be able to lift her head in the Ji family. This is the only thing that a mother like me can do for her.”
Xenia started gently persuading Tang Seneca, showing off her image as a caring mother.
Her request was rejected by Tang Seneca as usual. “I’ve told you to not talk about this matter anymore. I will give Rorey what I promised her naturally when the time comes. However, I cannot touch the shares before that. Moreover, the majority of the shares in the Tang Group are going to be inherited by Rosiley, as her mother left her those shares when she died. Even the 20% that I promised Rorey needs to be agreed to by Rosiley. However…”
Tang Seneca paused as he spoke up to that point. He then gave a sidelong glance to Xenia. “However, since there’s a feud between Rosiley and Rorey now, I believe that Rosiley will not agree to that.”
“Old sir, Rosiley is your daughter. You surely have the power to move her shares around. There is no need for her to agree to that, right?”
Xenia frowned as she continued her persuasion.
She knew how much that b*tch Rosiley hated them, so she knew that it was an impossible request.
