Veins Entwined with Secrets Chapter 9

In Julian's eyes, Maya was like a black rose, with a kind of lazy and lazy beauty. He felt that his mother's words and actions were too harsh, and he couldn't bear it. "You'd be good to her if you said less."

"You... forget it, I'm too lazy to care." Vivian Zhao pointed and put her finger down, "Okay, Julian, go take good care of your sister later. Prepare all the good food and supplies for her."

The mother's judgment of her daughter seemed to have no end. She was dissatisfied with everything about her and finally threw her to him.

"Don't worry." Julian almost swore to the sky, just wanting to end the topic quickly. Fortunately, Clara Zhou knew how to read people's expressions, and she toasted and served food, making Vivian Zhao very happy. She didn't have time to find fault with her daughter for a while.

Maya had no appetite and wanted to leave, but her parents' divorce had not been finalized yet, and she didn't dare to ask, so she had to sit there and wait for the meal to be over.

Vivian Zhao suddenly stopped talking and turned her eyes to the window. The atmosphere became quiet.

Graham Yu sat alone on the sofa in front of the window, smoking and looking down at his phone. He was completely detached from the family atmosphere and was unaware of his wife's gaze.

No one knows his heart.

He doesn't care about his son or daughter, avoids the entire family, and was almost an absent father during his children's growing up period.

Vivian Zhao seemed to be overwhelmed with emotions. She raised her glass and stood up, saying, "Blood ties are the most reliable in the world. There are no misunderstandings that cannot be overcome. Dad and I are both old. There will always be a day when we will leave. In the future, there will be no mom and dad to protect you from the wind and rain. In the future, there will only be the two of you in this world. Mom hopes that you can live in harmony."

She spoke to her children. After she finished speaking, she drank the glass of wine and sat down again.

Maya had a hunch that the family was really going to break up, and she felt sad. "I know family is important."

"You don't know, otherwise you wouldn't have stayed away for so long. You feel resentful." Vivian Zhao said, "When I sent you away, I was arbitrary and impatient. I was too busy at that time and didn't have the energy to take care of your feelings. You have to understand."

When Maya was in middle school, her English was not good and her spoken English was also a problem. Although she had no worries about food and drink when she went abroad alone, she also went through a period of loneliness and helplessness.

Because she once called the nanny "Mom" and was reported by the supervisor, Vivian Zhao immediately fired both of them and ordered her daughter to learn to be independent.

During that period, Maya was completely exiled and fell into the cold violence of her family. No one communicated with her.

She was alone in a foreign land, and every night was torture. Such punishment could make a rose wither.

Her eyes were lifeless, and she said quietly, "I understand, Mom, I'm doing fine."

Vivian Zhao did not try to explore the deeper meaning of her words. She gave enough money. At that time, the Yu family was on the rise. For the sake of their careers and to seize market resources, they had to neglect their children. She was used to dealing with all problems in a simple and rough way, but she gave enough money and she was a good mother.

She smiled and said, "Your father and I have different personalities, but I have been through all these years for you. Now that you have grown up and Julian has taken over the company and is doing well, I can rest assured. It's just you that I am worried about."

She sighed, "Forget it, Xiaomei will never achieve anything by being too pampered. She will still need Julian to take care of her in the future. The company cannot be divided. The old house at home and the property abroad will be left to Xiaomei, and the rest will be transferred to Julian's name in the future." She turned to look at her son, "Julian, you have to take good care of your sister in the future."

Julian didn't answer and looked unhappy.

The family business was divided up in a few words. The company's assets and cash all went to Julian, and Maya only got two old houses.

She endured it for a day, but finally couldn't help it and asked, "Why?"

Why should children be treated differently?

"Mom is not asking for your consent, she is informing you. Besides, more money may not be a good thing for you. Your living expenses should remain the same as before. Let Julian pay you. He will never let you down."

If you take things from others and always ask for money from them every month, you will never have freedom.

Maya went from angry to panic. She couldn't believe it and looked at her mother helplessly.

Vivian Zhao's expression was perfect. She controlled the family business and had the financial power. Of course, she was strong. She added, "I can't let Yu's divide it, but if I really gave it to you, would you accept it? Are you willing to marry the person I chose for you? You are beautiful but you don't know how to use your beauty. You don't know whether the people around you are human or ghosts in the future. You are not willing to pay anything and you are not willing to listen to me. Why should I give you my assets? Do you want me to squander them all?"

These words were so cruel that Maya trembled all over.

Julian interrupted, "Mom, at least the stocks and cash part..."

Vivian Zhao interrupted him, "Shut up, you are just the acting CEO now, you don't want the company anymore? That's no problem, I can find a professional manager to take over for me."

Graham Yu finally stood up and walked to the table, saying in a low voice, "Vivian Zhao, do you really have to treat your family like this? Do you have to calculate so clearly?"

"You? Graham Yu, what qualifications do you have to talk to me? My son and daughter are my children, and you, a person who has nothing to do with me, don't even think about sharing a penny."

Having said that, there is no room for negotiation.

Maya looked at Julian, and he was looking at her.

The two looked at each other and turned away.

Suddenly, the door of the private room was pushed open and a woman rushed in.
