Chapter 43: Children, they will not become useful unless they are beaten
The Xu family's nanny carefully reminded: "Sir, Madam, the food is cold. How about I reheat it?"
The next moment——
With a loud "bang", the food on the table was swept to the ground.
Xu Guoqiang's face was dark and full of anger.
Looking at his actions, my first reaction was that he wanted to flip the table.
But this big dining table is made of pure solid wood, and it is really not something that ordinary people can lift.
Everyone present was startled, and the nanny standing in front of the table was hit on the foot by a falling plate and cried out in pain.
"Shut up, why are you shouting? Can't you see that the master is in a bad mood? Get out of here right now!" Cheng Fang was startled by the cry of pain and reacted immediately. She shouted loudly and drove the man out.
He didn't care at all whether the nanny was injured or how serious the injury was.
After all, it is a matter of reputation for the Xu family. Cheng Fang, who knows Xu Guoqiang well, knows that her husband, who is good-tempered outside, is very concerned about his reputation and naturally would not allow an outsider like the nanny to be present.
The nanny was frightened and endured the pain in her feet as she limped back.
"Honey, don't be angry. Maybe Si Chen was delayed for something and is on her way here. Why don't we call her first?" Cheng Fang immediately stepped forward and patted him gently.
Normally, she would be most happy to see such scenes.
No one hated the woman who stayed behind to take care of the child more than she did, and no one wanted Xu Guoqiang and Xu Sichen, father and daughter, to break up more than she did.
But not now.
Now she sincerely hopes that Xu Sichen will come home.
Let’s not talk about the jade pendant that An Ran mentioned, which she hasn’t gotten yet.
Now that prices are soaring, the company is in trouble due to cash flow shortage and the epidemic.
The supplies and the 1 billion in cash in Xu Sichen's hands became crucial.
No matter what, she must get it.
So no matter what means are used, Xu Sichen must be tricked back home first.
"Yes, Dad, let's call my sister first." Xu Anran also said anxiously.
As time approached, her desire for the jade pendant reached its peak.
"Hmph, couldn't you just call home in advance if you had something? You've really got no manners at all just leaving our whole family waiting like this!" Old Mrs. Cheng said with a sarcastic look on her face.
When the other members of the Cheng family heard this, they wanted to follow suit and provoke that damn girl in front of Xu Guoqiang so that she would suffer.
But Cheng Fang suppressed them all with her eyes.
"Mom, don't say that about Si Chen. I believe she must have her reasons for doing this."
With the comfort of his wife and daughter, Xu Guoqiang's anger subsided a little.
He took the phone Xu Anran handed over and made a call.
"Ding, the number you dialed is busy, please call again later!"
I tried several times in a row, but the voice prompt was the same and I couldn't get through at all.
"Uncle, Xu Sichen wouldn't have blacklisted you again, would he?" Cheng Yong said sarcastically.
This undoubtedly ignited Xu Guoqiang's anger again.
With a "bang", the phone in his hand hit the wall and broke into pieces.
"Okay, very good! Xu Sichen, if you have the guts, don't come back for the rest of your life!"
Damn that girl, she's become so arrogant that she actually dared to stand him up.
Thinking back to the previous conversation, Xu Guoqiang realized belatedly that he had been fooled by his cowardly and incompetent daughter.
"Guoqiang, don't think I'm an old woman nagging. That girl is so bold because you spoiled her. If she were my granddaughter and dared to disobey her elders like this, I would slap her to death." Old Lady Cheng continued to add fuel to the fire, with an expression of disappointment on her face.
Is it caused by indulgence?
If Xu Sichen heard this, he would definitely slap the old woman to see if he could stop her from lying so blatantly.
What does it mean to be spoiled?
In the name of studying, Xu Sichen was sent to the grassroots level of the company and allowed to be bullied by other people in the company?
Or in the name of exercise, let Xu Sichen give up the luxurious large flat in Central Garden and move into an old and dilapidated house where all kinds of people are mixed?
Anyone with eyes who has seen Xu Sichen's time in the Xu family would not be able to say the word "spoiled".
"Yes, my mother is right, brother-in-law, you just have too good a temper, that's why that girl is so arrogant. As the old saying goes, a child cannot be made into anything without being beaten. That girl is so arrogant and willful, and I can tell at a glance that you didn't beat her enough!" Boss Cheng said angrily.
"Uncle, just say the word and I'll take people to teach that damn girl a lesson. Then I'll make her listen to you obediently." Cheng Yong felt so angry when he thought of his beloved car being taken away.
If his parents hadn't persuaded him, saying that his uncle could deal with Xu Sichen and ask her to apologize to them, he would have brought people to teach that dead girl a lesson long ago.
But unexpectedly, this uncle is also useless and can't even control his own daughter.
"Okay, stop making trouble. Have you forgotten that girl called the police to arrest us? You are my only son. What should I do if something happens to you?" Cheng's aunt Xu Minjing said unhappily.
"Sister-in-law, you are wrong. We have no blood relationship with Si Chen. She can call the police to arrest us, but my brother-in-law is the girl's biological father. From ancient times to the present, it is natural for a father to beat his son, and the law can't do anything about it." Cheng Laoer's eyes were full of calculation.
For a moment, everyone present looked at Xu Guoqiang, waiting for him to nod.
Seeing Xu Guoqiang hesitate to nod, Cheng Fang rolled her eyes and said with disapproval: "I don't agree with you doing this."
"Aunt, Xu Sichen kicked us out obviously just to embarrass you. Why are you still speaking up for her?" Cheng Yong protested dissatisfiedly.
Cheng Fang smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay with me. I've gotten used to it over the years. After all, being a stepmother isn't easy. I've been prepared for this ever since I married Guoqiang. Although she's been a bit rebellious lately, even selling her stocks against her family's wishes, which put the company's cash flow under strain, Si Chen is Guoqiang's daughter after all. If she gets hurt, Guoqiang won't be the one who'll feel the pain."
These words were apparently meant to plead for Xu Sichen, but in reality they were setting traps for him everywhere.
Sure enough, Xu Guoqiang was still a little hesitant. After all, Xu Sichen was his flesh and blood. If he let Cheng Yong bring a group of gangsters to teach Xu Sichen a lesson, would he still have any face left?
But Cheng Fang's words instantly reminded him of the difficulties he had encountered during this period.
In order to buy the stocks in Xu Sichen's hands, he almost mortgaged all his real estate.
In the end, he still owed more than 100 million yuan, so he borrowed some high-interest loans and promised to pay it off within a month.
The repayment date was approaching, but due to the heavy rain disaster, the company's funds were delayed.
