Chapter 47: Yama's Check-in Filled with Regret

Wu Qingqing had already stood up nervously when she heard the man speak.

At this moment, he heard Xu Rongyu ask him this question.

He waved his hands repeatedly, as if he wanted to shake his head so hard it would leave an afterimage.

He quickly clarified, "No, Uncle Xu, I never said I would arrange a time for them to see you."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu's eyes widened immediately. He couldn't understand why she wouldn't admit it when he was clearly praising her.

He must have been threatened by Xu Yihuan.

I heard that this girl is a student from a poor family, and is even being sponsored by a classmate.

They must be afraid to admit it.

Liu Zhengde isn't afraid at all!

"Don't be afraid, little girl! Just say what's on your mind!"

"We're all backing you up!"

Wu Qingqing wished she could kneel down and beg him to stop talking.

"Really, no, Uncle. I just said I would try my best. I don't actually have that much ability."

Xu Rongyu chuckled coldly, having roughly figured out what was going on.

So they all thought they were brought by Wu Qingqing.

"Huanhuan, come and tell me what happened."

Upon hearing her father's words, Xu Yihuan immediately pouted, feeling wronged.

She strode forward, took her father's hand, and buried her head in his arm, nuzzling against him.

Like a wronged kitten, she looked up at her father with moist eyes, looking very pitiful.

"Dad, they're bullying me."

"It's this uncle. He insisted that I arrange a time to meet you. I told him you were busy, but he wouldn't listen at all."

"And this uncle, he said you don't like me, that I'm useless."

"And this uncle, who said that the minority should obey the majority, deliberately made things difficult for me."

...

Xu Yihuan spat out one "uncle" after another, like the King of Hell calling out to the underworld, which was extremely frightening.

Every time Xu Yihuan mentioned someone, Xu Rongyu's gaze would linger on that person for a while, emanating an extremely heavy aura of pressure.

The men who were jumping around the classroom the most earlier didn't dare to say a word.

Cold sweat kept pouring down my face.

Damn it, who said Xu Rongyu doesn't like Xu Yihuan?!

If you don't like it, can you do this?

This is clearly an attitude of supporting her!

Recalling what they had just done, no one dared to speak anymore.

Xu Rongyu only spoke slowly after Xu Yihuan stopped speaking.

"Oh? Is that so?"

"General Manager Wang of Building Materials, General Manager Liu of Tiles, General Manager Zhang of Jewelry..."

Xu Rong spoke calmly, but paused slightly after each name, making him even more terrifying than the previous "King of Hell's roll call".

After this round, everyone's clothes were completely soaked with sweat.

"Since you and my child dislike each other so much, I think we should reconsider our cooperation."

"As for those we haven't had a chance to cooperate with yet, there's no need for us to cooperate with them."

No one expected Xu Rongyu to go to such lengths for her child.

Some of these people doubled their profits because they secured a partnership with the Xu family.

Some people get promoted and receive a raise because they secure a cooperation deal with the Xu family.

At this moment, Xu Rongyu suddenly said that the cooperation was going to fall through, and everyone immediately erupted in an uproar.

"Mr. Xu, we know you love your child, but that's not what we meant."

"Yes, Mr. Xu, you can't give up such a big benefit for such a small matter, can you?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Rongyu looked up at the person and affectionately patted Xu Yihuan's head.

He scoffed, "It's just a pittance. You were just the most suitable one selected from among many tenders."

"It's not the irreplaceable one."

Xu Rongyu's voice was filled with firm confidence, and his gaze was even fixed on Xu Yihuan, sparing him a direct look at them.

Seeing Xu Rongyu's posture, everyone understood: it's over! It's completely over!

All the collaborations that were practically secured have fallen through!

Their commissions, their profits, all vanished!

It's all Liu Zhengde's fault. If it weren't for him, they would never have offended President Xu.

Everyone turned and glared angrily at Liu Zhengde.

At this point, Liu Zhengde could only manage a bitter smile; there was nothing else he could do.

Zhou's mother, Shen Yanxin, watched in a daze, but that didn't stop her from enjoying the show.

It's worth noting that many of these people are their competitors.

I couldn't help but want to kick someone when they're down.

"It's a real pity, Mr. Zhang. It seems that the exhibition hall development project in the western suburbs will not be yours."

Mr. Zhang is currently in a daze and too lazy to speak.

As soon as Shen Yanxin opened her mouth, Xu Yihuan's attention was drawn back to her.

Her eyes flickered, and another thought came to mind.

Xu Yihuan grabbed Xu Rongyu's sleeve and let out another howl.

"Dad, Aze, Aze is bullying me."

The voice was trembling with tears, just like a young couple going to their parents for support after a fight.

Xu Rongyu, who had been focused on the group of people, panicked when she heard Xu Yihuan crying.

"What's wrong, honey? How did he bully you?"

"He said I was stingy and forced me to set a time, sob sob, why is my dad like this?"

Hearing Xu Yihuan's wailing cries, Xu Rongyu's heart ached terribly.

He reached out to wipe away Xu Yihuan's tears.

When I touched it, it was dry.

Looking down at Xu Yihuan, he saw that Xu Yihuan was winking at him from an angle where no one could see her.

Xu Rongyu quickly withdrew his hand and instead gently patted Xu Yihuan's back.

Knowing that Zhou Yanzhe was Shen Yanxin's biological son, General Manager Zhang immediately retorted.

"Oh dear Mrs. Shen, it seems that you won't get a spot in the exhibition hall in the western suburbs either."

Shen Yanxin's face was grim.

He walked straight towards Zhou Yanzhe.

They grabbed his arm and lifted him off the stone chair he was sitting on.

"Get up right now! Go over there and apologize to Huanhuan!"

"Who gave you the right to talk like that?!"

As Shen Yanxin spoke, she lowered her voice and added something to Zhou Yanzhe's ear.

“If you cause us to lose this project, Aze, you know what to do. Go apologize to Huanhuan right now.”

Xu Yihuan actually admires Zhou Yanze quite a bit sometimes.

Shen Yanxin would never give Zhou Yanzhe any face in any situation.

However, Zhou Yanzhe eventually developed a very confident personality.

It's like seeing a ghost.

Zhou Yanzhe staggered a couple of steps as Shen Yanxin pulled him along.

His hands, hanging at his sides, were clenched into fists.

He lowered his head, his thin lips were tightly pressed together and pale, and his eyes were slightly red.

Wearing that blue and white school uniform.

He looks exactly like a cold, stubborn, and broken male high school student.

Wu Qingqing, who was standing to the side, was heartbroken when she saw this scene.

Her brother, Aze, should have been the pride of the school.

But he was tormented by that old woman, Shen Yanxin.

Shen Yanxin deserves to die!

Wu Qingqing took a deep breath and stepped forward.

"I apologize!!"

"It's not Brother Aze's fault. Brother Aze only said those things to Sister Huanhuan to protect me. It's all my fault."

As Wu Qingqing spoke, large tears fell one by one.

She shrugged and sobbed, looking extremely aggrieved.

Seeing Wu Qingqing crying, everyone couldn't help but feel that the Xu family was bullying her too much.

But there's nothing we can do; they're powerful and influential. We can't do anything about being bullied.

Xu Rongyu looked down at Xu Yihuan, indicating to her what to do.

Since it's all an act, it wouldn't be good to make too much of a fuss.

But if Xu Yihuan wants to continue playing along, he's not unwilling to play along.
