In your past life, you looked down on me. Now that I have been reborn, I have become your uncle.
On the day of the engagement banquet, his fiancée went missing.
Having just been reborn,...
If he were to divorce Xia Wan and leave the Xia family at this time, wouldn't he be beaten to death by the debt collectors?
As the legal representative of Zhuang's branch, he naturally cannot escape the consequences of the demise of Zhuang's. After being subject to legal enforcement, he will not only face hefty fines but also restrictions on his spending. He will be unable to work after being blacklisted on credit, and in severe cases, he may even be held criminally liable.
As an artist, he has worked hard in the entertainment industry for so many years and finally achieved what he has today. Now, because of this incident, he can't accept any announcements, can't film or appear on variety shows, and has no endorsements... He's been completely blacklisted.
Only the agent knows about this matter at the moment, and the agent has kept it well hidden from the company, only asking him to handle it as soon as possible.
He is now, after all, the son-in-law of the Xia family. This problem is neither too big nor too small, but it can be solved if Xia Qingshan is willing to help him.
Unexpectedly, Xia Qingshan didn't even ask him a question and immediately wanted to give up on him, even though he and Xia Wan had just gotten married and registered their marriage.
Xia Qingshan threw the pen on the ground, and seeing that Gu Qian didn't react, he threw a check at him. He looked at Gu Qian with disdain, as if he were looking at a bug in a garbage dump.
"Sign the papers, and this 50 million is yours." It was like a handout, without the slightest respect. He had always looked down on Gu Qian. If it weren't for Xia Wan's public declaration that she wanted to be with him, he would never have agreed to the marriage.
Xia Qingshan has a keen eye for people. People like Gu Qian are not smart, they only have some tricks. They lack vision and love to take advantage of others. It is precisely because he loves to take advantage of others that he was deceived by Tang Jing. It is shameful for a normal person to be deceived by a mentally ill person.
Gu Qian is unable to work now, but he owns a house and a car. Giving him 50 million yuan would be enough for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life. He has already been very generous to Gu Qian.
You know, recently, due to the substandard steel, he has a lot of houses stuck in his hands, which caused the housing prices to be driven up some time ago.
In just one month, the price of a house rose from several thousand yuan per square meter to thirty or forty thousand yuan. The Xia Group already owned real estate, and Xia Qingshan had a lot of properties in his hands. He also took the opportunity to buy a lot more, just waiting to sell them at a high price and make a fortune.
But now that his collaboration with the Zhuang family has been exposed and is trending on social media, users are worried about the quality of the houses, and with current housing prices too high, they are unwilling to buy from him.
This resulted in him being able to sell the houses he bought at high prices at low prices. He had too many houses tied up, making it difficult to recoup his investment. If he couldn't sell them, the losses would be incalculable.
He's been so busy with this house lately that his hair is falling out badly, and his temples are turning white. So when he saw Gu Qian kneeling on the ground without saying a word, he got angry and his patience ran out.
He kicked Gu Qian hard in the shoulder, and after kicking him to the ground, he was still not satisfied. He stood up and kicked him a few more times, his eyes flashing with malice: "Get up and sign the document! Don't make me repeat myself."
Gu Qian gagged, not knowing where he had been kicked, but he didn't vomit. However, he could clearly taste blood in his throat. He looked at the invoice on the ground, feeling resentful.
They gave Zhuang Yan over 100 million, but he only got 50 million. Why is that?
If Xia Wan hadn't seduced him and insisted on making him the Zhuang family's godson, he wouldn't have turned out this way. It's all Xia Wan's fault.
Why is he in such a miserable state now, while the person who harmed him gets a good ending?
That's unfair.
Gu Qian was trembling. Everyone around him thought he was in pain from being hit, but in reality, he was angry. His anger and resentment seemed to be consuming him bit by bit. He clenched his fists tightly, and his nails turned white.
Xia Qingshan stood in front of him, looking down at him: "If you don't sign, you won't get the fifty million."
The day Zhuang's incident happened, Xia Qingshan wanted to break off the engagement. Who knew that Gu Qian would act so quickly? After lunch, he took Xia Wan to get their marriage certificate and even posted photos online.
At the time, rumors circulated online that Xia Wan was still hung up on Zhuang Yan, and that her behavior at the wedding banquet suggested she didn't want to marry Gu Qian and wanted to call off the wedding.
After the photos and marriage certificate were released, the online criticism decreased significantly, which somewhat salvaged their reputation.
But now, Gu Qian has made a huge mess of things. Xia Qingshan already disliked him, and now he thinks he's a hopeless good-for-nothing!
What would someone like that want from him? Is it because he's good at causing trouble, because he's owing billions, or because he's completely useless and can't even do something as simple as taking care of Xia Wan as well as Zhuang Yan?
Last month, Xia Wan went to record a variety show, and she was beaten and poisoned by mushrooms. If Zhuang Yan had been taking care of her, none of this would have happened.
Gu Qian will not sign the papers. Once he gets divorced, his life will be over. Staying with the Xia family means he can at least spend their money. With the Xia family as his backer, no one outside will dare to mess with him.
After getting up from the ground, Gu Qian knelt down again. Kneeling was humiliating, so he treated it as acting. He knelt down and kowtowed, begging for mercy, hoping that Xia Qingshan could save him and not drive him away.
"Dad, please forgive me this time. I know I was wrong and I will never do it again. Please let me stay. I will take good care of Xia Wan. Wanwan and I just got married. If we get divorced now, people will laugh at us."
"If anyone's going to laugh at someone, it's you. It's only natural for people to avoid the main issue; everyone can understand that."
Seeing that Xia Qingshan's approach was blocked, Gu Qian crawled to Xia Wan's side, trembling as he grabbed her hand: "Wanwan... wife... you won't abandon me, will you? We've known each other for so many years, we grew up together, we're childhood sweethearts. I've loved you for so many years, I'm willing to do anything for you. We finally got married, are you going to abandon me and divorce me?"
Xia Qingshan remained silent, coldly watching Xia Wan await her answer. He hoped his daughter wouldn't disappoint him this time.
Gu Qian is a burden now; being with him will only make me feel like I'm being held back.
Like a camel carrying a heavy load in the desert, you may not feel anything at first, but over time, the last straw often breaks the camel's back. Gu Qian is very likely to become that last straw.
Xia Wan bit her lower lip, glanced at Gu Houqian, and quickly looked away, not daring to meet his eyes.
Her father had already discussed the divorce with her, pointing out many unfavorable factors. He advised her to play to her strengths and avoid her weaknesses, urging her not to make the same mistake again. It's only natural to choose the more advantageous option, and she shouldn't knowingly step into a swamp.
Xia Wan felt a pang of guilt, along with shame. She had wronged Gu Qian; they had known each other for over 20 years, their relationship was more than just family. In the past, when Xia Qingshan was busy, Gu Qian was always there to keep her company.
