Hidden Billionaire Son-in-law

0"Master Kun of the East District?" Zhang Hongxuan questioned as he squinted his eyes. "Did you really think you had the qualifications to request something from someone like Xie Kun, let alone stealing something from the company? Did you think you could have him under your control? Look what he ended up doing! He sold you out even after you promised him the pendant!"    0

    

"Dad! It's not that big of a deal. Didn't you watch the news today? Zhang Qimo had already discovered the pendant and sold it through the auction during the jewelry exhibition. She couldn't be trying to create another article with the incident, right?" Zhang Tianhai was unconvinced and added. "Besides, with their poor family background, would they not be courting death if they intend to go against our family?"    

    

*Slap!*    

    

Upon hearing those ridiculous words, Zhang Hongxuan slapped him with all his might, his expression furious.    

    

"You useless piece of sh*t! How dare you still continue to speak of such stupid things! When I eventually have to retire from my position as the head of our house, the family business will sooner or later be ruined by you!" Zhang Hongxuan exclaimed with utter disappointment.    

    

"What do you know? Not only did you instigate a group of hooligans to steal a piece of jewelry worth tens of millions, but you even dared to tamper with the family company? Just how brainless did you have to be to resort to such tactics?" Zhang Hongxuan cursed. "Even if the jewelry was returned, what are you going to do about this recording?!"    

    

"Don't you know who is in charge of Zhang's Jewelry Group now? It's not your father! It's not your uncle either!" Zhang Hongxuan shouted with an ashen face. "It's Wu Yang from the Ning Family of the East Sea!"    

    

"Our family is in a difficult situation now. All of our businesses in the area have already collapsed. Do you have any idea who was the main cause of this crisis? You should know, right?"    

    

"Despite that, you actually dared to help a group of hooligans inside the company to steal the trademark jewelry of the company? Do you even know what your actions truly mean? You were essentially digging out the foundation of the company, you idiot! Did you even think about what the consequences would be if this recording fell into Wu Yang's hands?"    

    

"Wu Yang will think that I am the one who is causing trouble. If he ends up finding out about the cause of this incident, I would have to personally bow down to apologize to him on your f*cking behalf! Once we expose this weakness of ours, the Ning Family of the East Sea will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to crush our family once and for all! By then, we would be forced to live on the streets!"    

    

As Zhang Hongxuan's veins erupted from his forehead, he slumped down on the sofa in rage as he heaved a heavy sigh.    

    

"Forget it, Hongxuan. Don't scold your son any longer. It's not that big of a deal anyway. It was just Zhang Qimo, that little girl. Didn't her father get kicked out of the Board of Directors back then? Why should we be afraid of her?" Zhang Hongxuan's wife, Zhou Fengqin, tried to persuade him with an indifferent expression.    

    

Zhang Hongxuan's face turned livid with anger as he said, "That is but your own opinion! Do you think the fifth family is still like before? Do you think we can still cause trouble for them whenever we want to? Did you not see today's news? The entire jewelry industry in Qingyun City has been filled with nothing but discussions and reports about how Zhang Qimo's pendant was sold for 100 million yuan!"    

    

"Right now, the daughter of my fifth brother is the most popular person in the company. The Board of Directors has even been treating her as the main source of money in the company!" Zhang Hongxuan stated slowly. "Furthermore, the Ning Family have been standing at the peak of the storm and is currently preventing our family from moving at all."    

    

"The most crucial thing is that Fifth Brother's family currently has our family under their control. Its seems that we may eeven have to lower our heads to them this time."    

    

"This...!" Zhang Tianhai listened to Zhang Hongxuan's series of words and gradually understood the crux of the matter in his mind.    

    

"Dad? What should we do now? Zhang Qimo had even sent the recording evidence to our house," Zhang Tianhai asked. "She did not send the recording directly to the Board of Directors but opted to deliver it to us instead. This is a clear threat from her!"    

    

"Look who's finally using his brain! She's indeed threatening our family!" Zhang Hongxuan affirmed with a deep voice. "Although our family has taken a huge beating recently, we can nevertheless still defend ourselves from her family."    

    

"Thus, Fifth Brother's family does not seem to have any intentions of lifting the lid nor do they want to make this a big deal," Zhang Hongxuan said calmly. "On the other hand, they seem to want something else from us. The people who sent the recording have clearly stated that they want me to personally bring you to Fifth Brother's house to apologize."    

    

"What?! They want us to go to their house to apologize?!" Zhang Tianhai exclaimed with rising anger "Why should we do that? Who does their family think they are? They are actually demanding Dad and me to apologize to them in person? Do they think that have the power to do that?"    

    

"The tables have already turned..." Zhang Hongxuan sighed. "The evidence has already fallen into the hands of the Fifth Brother's family. Would you rather go to their house to apologize or live the rest of your life in prison? Do you also want our family to get kicked out of the Zhang Group?"    

    

"Let's go. Bring a million yuan in cash and a few other precious gifts," Zhang Hongxuan said helplessly. "Let's head over to Fifth Brother's house and apologize."    

    

"No! Dad, I won't go! I will never apologize to Zhang Qimo's family!" Zhang Tianhai protested like an infant, unwilling to apologize.    

    

"Hongxuan, did you lose your nerve because of Wu Yang this time?" Zhou Fengqin said with dissatisfaction. "I don't believe that Zhang Qimo's family can trample our family to death with this recording. I will not go either."    

    

"Don't even think about forcing your son to go with you. If we were to go to their house to apologize to them, how will our family have to act in the circle of aristocratic families of Qingyun City in the future?" Zhou Fengqin questioned. "I did not marry into your Zhang family just to be bullied along with you."    

    

Zhang Hongxuan's wife, Zhou Fengqin, was the daughter of the old master of the Zhou Family, one of the top families in Qingyun City.    

    

The three top families in Qingyun City included the Zhou Family, the Sunn Family, and the Wang Family. These three families had deep foundations in Qingyun City and thus possessed incomparable strength and influence within the city. They were far from what the Zhang Family could compare with.    

    

Zhang Hongxuan said seriously, "Fengqin, think about it. Don't you think you're underestimating the gravity of this matter? With Zhang Qimo's family alone, how could they have this kind of power? I even suspect that Tianhai went to look for Xie Kun because he was set up by someone. He was definitely caught in a trap and sabotaged by someone."    

    

"If this wasn't a trap... what kind of person do think Xie Kun is in East City? How could he spit out what he had in his mouth?" Zhang Hongxuan said calmly. "Use your brain. Who would be able to have so much power and be willing to help Zhang Qimo's family?"    

    

"You mean? Could you be hinting at Wu Yang?" Zhou Fengqin frowned. "That certainly does make sense. Tianhai was screwing around with the property of the company after all. It would naturally be impossible for Wu Yang to ignore this matter."    

    

"Anyway, regardless of whether Tianhai was plotted against or Xie Kun was forced to admit defeat in East City, someone has definitely been assisting Fifth Brother's family behind the scenes. Looking at this matter from my perspective, the person who targeted our family in the shadows must be a very powerful figure! In short, our situation is now at the mercy of that person. Thus, we should just go to their house and apologize. Bear with this anger for now!" Zhang Hongxuan said firmly.    

    

After he finished speaking, Zhang Hongxuan dragged Zhang Tianhai out of the door. He got into the car and dialed Zhang Xiufeng's number.    

    

...    

    

Jiangchi District, Zhang Qimo's house.    

    

Lin Yin was currently meditating in his room.    

    

On the other hand, Zhang Qimo and Lu Yahui were watching TV in the living room.    

    

Lu Yahui appeared to be floating in elation. After all, her daughter had not only made a big name for herself in the jewelry industry but had even secured her position as Chief Design Officer in the company.    

    

At this time, Zhang Xiufeng had just arrived home from the grocery shopping. He pushed open the door and asked, "Qimo, what is going on? Third Brother said that he wanted to bring his son to our house to apologize. He also mentioned that Zhang Tianhai had offended you, so he asked you not to mind."    

    

"What? Third Brother wants to come to our house to apologize. They are sure to possess ill intentions during their visit," Lu Yahui stated in disbelief and found it rather suspicious.    

    

At that moment, Zhang Qimo revealed a shocked expression. She did not expected Lin Yin's predictions to be so accurate!
