Chapter 1601 Dividing the Spoils in Advance

"But with the Ou Family treating you like that, you’re really willing to leave the shares to them?"

Hai Xue thought for a moment and said, "I don’t want to have any more entanglements of interest with them. How about I give these shares to Pengfei and Zhenzhen instead?"

After these few days of interaction, she’d also realized that among the Ou Family, the ones who treated her best were still Ou Pengfei and Ou Zhenzhen.

Mengyu sighed. "The Ou Family clan rules say that in order to prevent Ou Family shares from leaking out, daughters are not allowed to own Ou Family shares."

Just for that alone, she was against Hai Xue going back to the Ou Family. In a family that doesn’t treat women as people, what’s the point of going back?

Hai Xue considered it and said, "Those clan rules are nothing more than fear that the family’s company will end up controlled by outsiders.

In that case, I’ll give Pengfei thirty percent and Zhenzhen twenty percent, but Zhenzhen’s twenty percent will be managed by Pengfei, and after profits come in, he’ll distribute Zhenzhen’s share to her."

Hai Xue thought a bit more, then continued, "Once Jinhui Group is taken back, Gu Dongxing will hold sixty percent of the shares, and you and Gu Minxing will each hold twenty percent!"

Mengyu was stunned for a moment. This soon-to-be mother-in-law was actually giving her twenty percent of the group company’s shares?

You had to know the company already had assets of over five billion; twenty percent was one billion. She was that willing to part with it?

"Auntie, Gu Dongxing and I will be husband and wife in the future. What belongs to Gu Dongxing will be mine too. That way we’ll hold eighty percent together, and Gu Minxing will only have twenty percent. That doesn’t seem very fair to Minxing."

Hai Xue was very sure. "There’s nothing we can do about that. Where is there true fairness in this world? Without you, this company simply could not be taken back. I believe Minxing will understand."

Gu Minxing hurriedly nodded. "My mom’s right. Without my elder sister-in-law, our family simply couldn’t get this company back. I already think twenty percent is a lot."

He paused, then added, "I know, elder sister-in-law has money. Don’t even talk about a few dozen billion—if you wanted hundreds of billions, even trillions, you could get them. But this Jinhui Group is what you’re owed, so you really shouldn’t turn it down."

Mengyu thought it over and said, "But Minxing, you just said it yourself, I’m not short of money. And in modern society, men and women have equal inheritance rights, so Dongxing and Minxing should get the same. Auntie, you and Uncle Gu should hold shares too. The economic base determines the superstructure—you’d better keep some shares for yourselves."

What she had in mind was that she and Dongxing would both be entering the Immortal Sect in the future, while Minxing would be the one staying in this world to fulfill their filial duties. So in the end, this company would definitely have to be handed over to Minxing.

But Hai Xue obviously valued sons over daughters; only by making this proposal could she get Hai Xue to agree.

Hai Xue thought about it. If she and Gu Ming each held forty percent, and later gave the same amount to their son, that would be fine. So she said, "Then your dad and I will each hold forty percent, and you, Dongxing, and Minxing will each hold twenty percent. That way no one has to fight over it."

Mengyu understood what Hai Xue was thinking. Split like this, it looked fair on the surface, but in reality Minxing still only had twenty percent. She shook her head. "I’ll give my twenty percent to Minxing. He’ll be the one running the company in the future anyway."

Hai Xue grew anxious. This company could only be taken back because of Mengyu; relying on herself alone was definitely impossible. She and Minxing still owed Mengyu a life-saving debt. Now that there was finally a chance to repay even a little of it, how could she accept Mengyu refusing?

"No, absolutely not. I truly see you as one of our own. If you don’t want the shares, does that mean you still don’t see yourself as a member of the Gu Family?"

Seeing Hai Xue raise it to that level, Mengyu felt helpless and had no choice but to accept.

And just like that, before Jinhui Group had even been taken back, they’d already finished dividing up the spoils.

"Since that’s settled, let’s go to the Ou Family and get this finalized." Mengyu said.

Hai Xue was puzzled. Earlier, Mengyu had been adamant about not letting her go to the Ou Family.
