The three had laid dormant for years, endured silently while plotting to take down the Xi Family in one fell swoop.
The lawyer dared not say the next sentence, which was, Xi Nian’s success owed much to the help of his new wife. After all, if she hadn’t been stirring up trouble all this time, Xi Nian wouldn’t have had the opportunity to fake his death and then find the perfect moment to deal a fatal blow to the Xi Family.
"These three bastards, I knew I should have killed them all together."
"Chairman Zhao, please watch your words." The lawyer, pale-faced with fright, wondered what kind of place this was to speak such words?
Looking astounded and incredulous, he thought the noble woman before him had gone mad.
The shocking megaton bomb was also being spread on the internet.
The Xi Family, seizing a son and wife, hurting their kin, murdering juniors.
The deeds Zhao Shuqin had done spread like a pigeon with wings through the internet, appearing in everyone’s mobile headlines.
Everyone was shocked.
The word "poisonous woman" also spread rapidly during the 24 hours of Zhao Shuqin’s detention and completely spiraled out of control. Xi Zhen, who was lying in the hospital, learned about this news as soon as it was released. His spirit, which had been slightly better, quickly withered away.
After enduring a global scandal, who could act as if it had never happened?
The online abuse was relentless, with accusations and curses toward Xi Zhen’s shamelessness and Zhao Shuqin’s ruthless heart, both of which outraged people.
Suddenly, Huanya’s shares plummeted.
The shareholders gathered in the boardroom, looking at Xi Gu’s ever-changing expressions, some found it incredible. So, could Mr. Big Xi act so unscrupulously just because he was Xi Zhen’s only living son?
And Mr. Xiaoxi, a grandson, was what Xi Zhen least wanted to see?
Shareholder Lin led other shareholders in mocking Xi Gu, who everyone believed definitely knew the true story but was omnipresent in suppressing Xi Nian.
How could such ruthless tactics properly manage a vast corporation?
Shareholder Lin spoke out right there, "Mr. Big Xi, it’s not that we don’t give you face, but we think you are not leading Huanya well. Compared to Mr. Xiaoxi, your capabilities are like that of a Ph.D. to an elementary school student. Who do you think we’d rather follow?"
Xi Gu, now unable to even defend himself, watched helplessly as Huanya’s shares hit rock bottom, then as minor shareholders continued dumping their stock, and his own shareholders, lacking trust in him, prepared to offload their shares.
For Xi Gu, it might as well have been the end of the world.
He wanted to explain that he, too, had no idea about the truth of his origins, but such defenses were feeble. Who would believe him?
Even he couldn’t believe that he was actually the biological son of the man he had called grandfather for so many years. If the old man knew he was his son, why was he so harsh?
Thinking about it, grandfather probably did not want to acknowledge him either.
Also, he had always felt that his mother’s affection for him was very indifferent. Although she had given him a lot, her demands were also very high, and every time he failed to meet them, she would scold him severely.
Was that the attitude a normal mother should have toward her son?
Now that the truth was out, he understood the key point.
To his father, perhaps there was a bit of special sentiment, but without ability, he was still just a discarded chess piece.
And to his mother, he was a disgrace.
Xi Gu, looking at face after face crowding him, felt like he had been a joke from start to finish, and now the whole world was laughing at him.
He walked out with heavy steps. Shareholder Lin called out to him, "Mr. Big Xi, are you giving up on Huanya?"
Xi Gu stopped in his tracks, turned to look at Lin, who wasn’t mocking but just watching coldly.
Xi Gu said, "Whatever makes the shareholders happy, let them do it. From now on, Huanya has nothing to do with me. You all care about Mr. Xiaoxi, don’t you? He’s fine and will probably be back soon."
Lin was taken aback, "Mr. Big Xi, how do you know Mr. Xiaoxi is fine? How come we don’t know about this?"
"Lin Dong, stop pretending with me." Xi Gu felt utterly humiliated and now didn’t care about anything," If Xi Nian hadn’t instructed you, could you have brought so many people to pressure me?
I appreciate you not humiliating me in these last moments, but that doesn’t mean I’m an idiot who knows nothing."
Just as Xi Gu finished speaking, applause broke out from outside the door, and then Xi Nian’s figure entered everyone’s view. Xi Gu let out a self-deprecating chuckle, and everyone except Lin Dong stared at Xi Nian in astonishment.
