Listening to Xiao's mother's rambling, Qingyun couldn't help but smile slightly. Xiao's mother truly loved Xiao Chengnuo; in the original course of the world, she was the only one who would never abandon Xiao Chengnuo.

But precisely because of her attitude, after Xiao Chengzhe drove away Xiao Chengnuo and took over the Xiao family business, he did not let Xiao's mother off the hook.

Even Xiao Chengzhe's father, who had always treated him like his own son, was tricked out of his shares by him. In the end, the two penniless old men were driven out of the Xiao family and lived a miserable old age.

But now, none of Xiao Chengzhe's plans will come to fruition.

As the protagonist of this world, Xiao Chengzhe naturally had his own informants in the Xiao family. He received the news almost the instant Xiao's mother left home.

He was currently in a private room at the club, his expression inscrutable as he turned his phone. His father's fiftieth birthday was in a few days, and he had long anticipated that his mother would take the opportunity to bring Xiao Chengnuo back.

A dark glint flashed in his eyes as he thought of this.

The previous rape attempt failed, and not only did he fail to implicate Xiao Chengnuo, he also left incriminating evidence in the hands of that foolish Secretary Miao, causing him considerable trouble. This frustrated Xiao Chengzhe greatly. He had a vague feeling that something was amiss. Xiao Chengnuo had always obediently followed his schemes, so why had things gone wrong this time?

A greeting came from the doorway, and a young man whose arrogance was practically radiating from his body walked in.

When Xiao Chengzhe saw the person who had arrived, his eyes lit up and a plan came to mind.

The visitor was the second young master of the Zou Group, the most beloved younger brother of Zou Minchen, the head of the Zou family.
