Qiao An, holding the plate, walked in. He didn't answer immediately when he heard Chen Jingguo's question. He walked straight to the table and placed the things on the table, poured two glasses of wine, then stood aside, frowned and complained: "I think sometimes you are so kind, Master, you are so kind, and let those servants gossip in the dark. If others had already fired them, in my opinion, even if you don't fire them, you will have to punish them."

Chen Jingguo smiled and said, "Haha! Qiao An, you are too strict. Anyway, this place will be handed over in a few days. Let's leave the teachings of those people to those who accept them to take care of them!"

Chen Jingguo can be said to be very respectful to this old servant who served the Meriandon family for generations and did not regard him at all. Although Qiao An was a servant, he was given the title of aristocratic. He can be said to be a living dictionary of the entire European high-ranking aristocratic genealogy. He is very clear about the relationship between the nobles, and his knowledge is well-informed and has a good relationship with the Jewish consortium in Europe. When Chen Jingguo started his business in Europe, he was able to successfully open up the entire European market, which is also one of the reasons why Chen Jingguo respected him.

After hearing Chen Jingguo's words, Qiao An frowned and wanted to speak, but stopped. Eliza, who was sitting on the carpet, handed little Joanna to Shen Qingwen, stood up, sat opposite the table, took a sip of red wine, and asked tentatively: "Do you have to hand over this villa too?"

Chen Jingguo looked at his wife, nodded, and said, "Not only will this manor in Paris, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy be handed over to our family, we only leave two manors in Bordeaux and Nottingham, and..." As he said, he took out a few documents from a pile of documents and handed them to his wife, saying, "There are also these industries that will be left behind."

Eliza took the document and looked carefully. She soon finished reading it, but her face was a little embarrassed. Obviously, the things on the document could not satisfy her. She pondered for a moment and asked, "The industry we left behind was less than one-tenth of the total assets now. Does it really take so much to pay..."

"Yes! The Chen family is a traditional big family. If you want to separate and independent, you must pay a lot of money, otherwise no one in the family will support you. If there is not enough people in the family to support me, my rights in the company may eventually be completely undermined by the family. That will make it less worth the loss." Chen Jingguo sighed. He reached out and grabbed his wife's hand, and said apologetically in his eyes: "Sorry, dear! You have suffered a lot of grievances over the years. To this day, the Chen family genealogy has not recognized your identity. I will definitely let you..."

"It's okay! When I first married you, I had already thought of such a result." Feeling the warmth from my husband's hand, Eliza's face improved a lot, and she also said apologetically: "I'm sorry too. If it weren't for my words, maybe you had already used your talents to become the heir of the clan's patriarch."

"That's impossible! Even without you, it's impossible!" Chen Jingguo patted his wife's hand and comforted: "A person born in vain is absolutely unable to inherit the position of patriarch. This ancient rule cannot be changed no matter what."

Eliza felt that her words had touched Chen Jingguo's pain, so she didn't continue to say it. Instead, she changed the topic and said, "Is there no other way to separate you and not pay so much? After all, if you cut off such a large amount of industry, we are afraid it will be difficult to recover in a short period of time."

"I also want to have such a method, but it's a bit unlikely. I'll give up, I can only get it." Chen Jingguo shook his head, hesitated for a moment, turned to look at the direction of the small building, and said, "If Changqing could fully express his attitude and stand on my side, maybe we wouldn't have to pay so much."

Eliza said anxiously: "Then we can..."

"No use." Chen Jingguo knew what Eliza wanted to say. He interrupted her and said, "Changqing can give me advice. But he will not directly interfere in the internal affairs of the Chen family. And he asked me to propose a separation to his father when he came here. It was an invisible support. This was already the limit of his ability to do it." As he said, he collected all the documents in the file bag, then sealed them with wax marks and handed them over to Joan for preservation. Then he turned to Andy, who was sitting next to him and asked, "Mr. Andy, do you have any arrangements in the future?"

Andy stopped pulling the Buddhist beads, opened her eyes, and said calmly: "Master, let me stay with you, Mr. Chen, until that person comes, and then stay with that person. This period may be troubled by Mr. Chen."

Although Andy didn't say the name of that person, Chen Jingguo knew that he was Xu Changqing's daughter Dong Guanqing. So he nodded and said, "There is no trouble. You are also a helper by my side. And your ability may be able to help me a lot in the future. Speaking of which, I should thank you first."

Chen Jingguo has also talked with Andy many times in the past few days. After each conversation, he will increasingly appreciate the newly-received disciple of Xu Changqing. This is not only because Andy has mastered local knowledge on the ship and understood the Eurasian business community. It is more because Andy has developed a steady personality for many years, which makes people easily trust him. This affinity is very important in business. Chen Jingguo just felt that Xu Changqing wanted Andy to stay by his side now, just to give him a helping moment in the most difficult time. Naturally, he did not refuse this.

"Where are you? Miss Angel. Do you have any arrangements?" Eliza asked Shen Qingwen, who was holding little Joanna and playing.

Shen Qingwen hesitated for a moment, sighed, and said with a complicated expression: "I will be with you too, at least before he finishes his work and returns to Paris."

Feeling that Shen Qingwen's emotions became a little weird, Eliza's intuition told her that this matter might be related to Shen Qingwen, so she asked with a little curiosity.

"He wants to kill my father." The things in his heart were so uncomfortable that Shen Qingwen couldn't help but say them. Just when she was about to say all the whole story, an invisible force stuck her throat like an iron pliers, making her unable to say another word.

Just when everyone was panicked about Shen Qingwen's sudden situation, a breeze suddenly hung in the room for no reason. Then, after being in seclusion for several days, Xu Changqing, who was slightly thin, appeared silently in the center of the room. He turned to look at Shen Qingwen, shook his head slightly, waved his hand to lift the ban on his neck, and then said to Chen Jingguo: "I'm leaving! You guys go back to Paris too!"
