Chapter 653 Love-struck Man Becomes World's Richest Man (12)

Upon hearing the name Kim Won-ho, Kim Sung-guk, who had just been laughing heartily, instantly stopped smiling.

The stark contrast between before and after angered Liu Yan, causing his expression to change as well.

"Is he doing this to save face for our company? He's just afraid I'll hit him! He's doing it on purpose to show me!"

All he does all day is cause trouble! He won't be satisfied until he drives me crazy!

Liu Yan's expression turned cold and somber.

"How can you talk about your own son like that? Ah Hao has been too well protected by you since he was little, and that's why he's a bit immature now!"

What father would beat his child to death just because the child is being naughty and makes a small mistake?

Liu Yan became increasingly angry as he spoke, but finally calmed down and softened his stance when he saw that Jin Shengguo's face had become extremely ugly.

“Ah Hao has always been very dependent on you and trusted you since he was a child. All he did was to get your attention.”

"Let's eat. Stop talking. It's not easy to have something happy happen."

Jin Shengguo didn't want to bother with Jin Yuanhao's mess at all. He was finally in a good mood, but the thought of having a good-for-nothing spendthrift son made him feel depressed, and even seeing Liu Yan made him feel a little annoyed.

"You treat Ah-hao like this, you treat me like this, don't you feel even a little bit guilty?"

Liu Yan was in great pain.

She knew that her marriage with Jin Shengguo was outwardly harmonious, but only the two of them knew that they were already estranged.

But she could not care before because no matter how much Jin Shengguo played around outside, he only had one child, and that was her Ahao!

But now, Jin Shengguo has not only betrayed her, but also her son!

He actually wanted to hand over his enormous family fortune to an illegitimate daughter who appeared out of nowhere!

Previously, Kim Sung-guk still felt guilty, and no matter what mistakes Kim Won-ho made outside, he was always able to forgive him calmly in the end.

But now, as Jin Yuanhao becomes increasingly outrageous, while Jin Shu becomes more and more outstanding and dazzling, the contrast between the two makes it even less likely that Jin Shengguo will hand over the empire he has worked so hard to build to this unreliable spendthrift son, Jin Yuanhao.

Liu Yan was so angry that his heart ached and his liver hurt. He wished he could just kill Jin Shu and Cai Qin, that mother and daughter.

But Jin Shu was too shrewd. Not long after being recognized, she immediately got married, giving Liu Yan no chance to make a move.

Just as Liu Yan was planning to join forces with her family to find a way to defeat Jin Shu, Jin Shu had already grown up at an astonishing speed.

She managed several branch companies with great success, including a subsidiary that was on the verge of bankruptcy and which Jin Shengguo was planning to withdraw its investment and merge with. Within just six months of handing it over to Jin Shu, the subsidiary successfully completed a round of financing, revitalizing a dying company.

As a result, Jin Shengguo placed even greater trust and importance on Jin Shu's status as his successor.

At this moment, Jin Shengguo saw the hatred hidden in Liu Yan's heart.

He put down his chopsticks and looked at her with a slightly cold gaze.

"I once told you that in my eyes, the Kim Group is the child I love the most."

Whoever can make the Kim Group better will be my successor!

I don't care where this child came from. As long as she is of Jin Shengguo's blood, and she has the ability, I will cultivate her and value her until she takes over my position!

Ah Hao wants to take back the heirship? Fine, then let him show me what he's got! Otherwise, don't waste your time trying to make a point of being here!

Liu Yan fell completely silent.

The dinner for the two of them also ended unhappily.

Jin Shu was very busy for the next few days. Having gotten used to having 48 hours in a day, she suddenly lost her own 24 hours and was a little unaccustomed to it for a while.

With the timeframe significantly shortened, Jin Shu needed to devote more energy to handling her tasks in order to maintain the overall situation and ensure everything went smoothly.

Because the following procedures were somewhat complicated, Jin Shu went to four countries and visited four banks in three days. A week later, Jin Shu returned to China.

There were many people standing in the airport arrival area. As soon as Jin Shu came out, she saw Zhang Baiyu standing in the crowd.

Upon seeing Jin Shu emerge, Zhang Baiyu strode forward to greet her.

"Welcome back to China."

"Thanks."

The sun rose in the west; Zhang Baiyu actually came to pick her up.

Jin Shu didn't show much surprise. She walked up, casually handed the flowers she had taken from Zhang Baiyu to her assistant, and then continued walking briskly forward.

Seeing this, Zhang Baiyu didn't have time to think and quickly followed.

"For President Ouyang's birthday banquet, it was announced that married individuals must bring their partners. Although I don't understand why, I'll still have to trouble you."

Just as Jin Shu guessed, he must have had something to do with coming here.

Zhang Baiyu seemed certain that Jin Shu would agree, and immediately took her to the banquet hall after picking her up from the airport.

When Zhang Baiyu's car arrived, many luxury cars were already parked at the entrance.

The banquet was held in the conference hall of the National Art Association, where an important international conference was once held and where countless world-renowned artists have held solo exhibitions. Looking across the entire city, only Chairman Ouyang could hold his birthday banquet here.

Zhang Baiyu pulled many strings to get this invitation.

Originally, his first choice for a female companion was Mu Xixi, but unexpectedly, on the eve of the birthday banquet, Chairman Ouyang announced another rule: married people attending the banquet must bring their families.

Jin Shu has been away on business trips for some time now, which has made Zhang Baiyu very anxious.

Fortunately, Jin Shu returned on the day of the birthday banquet.

Upon entering, the two were greeted by a large courtyard house with three entrances and three exits. The interior design combined Chinese and Western styles, was exquisite and elegant, and featured ingenious design ideas everywhere. It also boasted a luxurious garden comparable to a royal back garden, where one could see various priceless rare plants at every step.

Jin Shu didn't change her clothes either, only wearing a simple haute couture suit.

However, the guests present had obviously done their homework in advance. Men, women, young and old were all dressed in classical and elegant attire. Even Zhang Baiyu himself was dressed in a white suit adorned with bamboo leaves, which made his fair complexion look like jade and his refined and handsome appearance. Standing there, he resembled a strong bamboo, and his whole body seemed to exude a faint bamboo fragrance.

Back then, the original owner was captivated by his appearance.

To everyone else, Zhang Baiyu was always consistent inside and out, gentle and kind to people, and exuded nobility in every gesture.

He seemed like a pampered young master raised in a prestigious family.

But everyone present was a top figure in the industry, and everyone knew about Zhang Baiyu's background.
