Chapter 123 The Daughter-in-law Recognized by My Meng Family
Zhao Ziqian stood there, motionless, quietly watching the resentful brother and sister.
Qu Xiaoxiao slammed the baseball bat into the ground, raised her chin and asked,
"Zhao Ziqian? Why are you here?"
Qu Lianjie stuck half of his head out from behind him and warned him in a timid tone.
"Qu Xiaoxiao! Mr. Zhao is here to discuss serious matters and cooperation with Dad! If you dare to offend him and ruin Dad's plans, I'll beat you to death!"
Qu Xiaoxiao was so angry that she laughed. She raised the baseball bat to her shoulder and pointed it at Qu Lianjie.
"Hey, Qu Lianjie, I'm so scared. You'd better make it clear to me. You lost money gambling, and most of the hole was filled with my savings. If someone hadn't acquired my company before, I would have lost it all this time."
"Because of you, Old Qu asked me to sell my shares in Xingtu. When I refused, you started smearing Xingtu and Sister Fan online! You caused a rent termination incident and nearly cost everyone their jobs!"
The more she spoke, the angrier she became. "I even told everyone that this was definitely aimed at Meng Yanchen! And what happened? You, a useless piece of shit, were behind this! You're so despicable, and you're not ashamed of it!"
Qu Xiaoxiao pointed a baseball bat at the tip of Qu Lianjie's nose and said, "Do you think I'm Sister Fan and I can be manipulated by you time and time again?"
Qu Xiaoxiao was furious. "Just wait and see, I'm going to beat you to death today! After I beat you up, I'll go talk to Old Qu!"
As she spoke, she swung the stick and rushed towards where Qu Lianjie was hiding.
Just as the stick was about to fall, Zhao Ziqian suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Qu Xiaoxiao's wrist as she swung the stick.
The action was not rough, but it was powerful enough to make her unable to move in an instant.
Qu Lianjie seemed to have found a patron saint instantly.
"Look at you being so arrogant!"
Qu Xiaoxiao tilted her head and glared at him, her eyes blazing with fire.
"What are you doing?! Let go! This is our Qu family's family affair, and it's not your turn as an outsider to interfere!"
Zhao Ziqian glanced at the employee outside the door holding a mobile phone to record the video and said calmly,
"I'll go close the door."
Qu Lianjie, "???"
Zhao Ziqian closed the door neatly, then leaned against the door frame and made a "please" gesture.
Qu Xiaoxiao had no more scruples and swung the baseball bat towards Qu Lianjie with great force.
"Ah! Qu Xiaoxiao, are you really doing this?! It hurts so much!"
Qu Lianjie ran away screaming and playing hide-and-seek with Qu Xiaoxiao around the sofa in the middle of the office, yelling as he ran.
"It wasn't me! I just... I asked someone to get some photos and videos! How could that little stuff cause such a big stir?! Someone from Guokun's side intervened! Ah—stop fighting!"
"You still think you're right?!"
Qu Xiaoxiao slammed her stick against the back of the sofa, making a dull sound. "They're killing people and you're handing them the knife?! They're telling you to eat shit, are you going to do it?! You have such a pig-brained mind and you dare to try to play business war? I'm going to wake you up today! Let's see if you dare to stab someone in the back again!"
The office was in chaos, documents were scattered all over the floor, and Qu Lianjie's wailing and begging for mercy could be heard everywhere.
Zhao Ziqian, who was leaning against the door, curled up the corners of his mouth almost imperceptibly.
When Qu Lianjie collapsed on the ground, groaning and unable to get up, Qu Xiaoxiao glanced at Zhao Ziqian who was standing at the door.
"What are you doing? Why don't you leave?"
Zhao Ziqian put his hands behind his back and said calmly,
"Hand over the knife!"
Guokun President's Office
In the conference room, Dong Chengmin sat at the other end of the long table, his suit neatly pressed, his fingers gently stroking the rim of the teacup, a hypocritical smile on his face.
"Yanchen,"
He spoke gently, "We're all your uncles and aunts here. Logically, we shouldn't interfere in your relationship issues. However, this [Star Journey] incident has such a huge social impact. Xiao Fan is your girlfriend, so why don't you think it's a good thing? As the helmsman, your personal image is tied to Guo Kun. If someone with ulterior motives and the media make a fuss about it, it will implicate Guo Kun as well."
Meng Yanchen leaned back in his chair, tapping the tabletop lightly with his fingertips, his eyes dark behind his glasses.
"Xingtuli is a government-approved "Excellent Entrepreneurship Incubation Base." Leaders have visited, businesses have settled there, and it's even involved in charitable causes. How can that not be positive?"
He raised his eyes, his gaze sharp, "Who are you talking about?"
The smile on Dong Chengmin's face twitched.
"Yanchen, Xiao Fan's background cannot withstand further investigation. You know it well."
Meng Yanchen chuckled, "It should be more resilient than your son."
He said calmly, "Next month, Guokun will conduct a thorough investigation of all senior executives' accounts. What do you think, Mr. Dong?"
Dong Chengmin's face darkened. "I think you've lost your basic judgment of the situation as the helmsman, and you're being irresponsible to Guo Kun. Since you're so confident, let everyone here meet her family and thoroughly understand the situation, so that one day we won't be left in the dark about how our ship sank!"
He gestured to his assistant. The office door opened, and Fan's mother walked in timidly, her eyes evasive, not daring to look at Meng Yanchen.
This was the first time Meng Yanchen met his patriarchal mother in this way.
Dong Chengmin introduced everyone, "This is Miss Fan's mother. Let her tell us in person what kind of person her daughter is. By the way, let's see if our Guokun Meng is still in his right mind?!"
At the suggestion of Dong Chengmin's eyes, Fan's mother truncated the story and told how Fan Shengmei didn't care about her family's life or death, only gave her family 3,000 yuan for living expenses every month, plotted to put her brother into jail, occupied her son's property, etc.
At this moment, the office door was pushed open, and Fan Shengmei hurried over. Seeing her mother there, she was stunned.
"Mom? Why are you here?"
Meng Yanchen immediately stood up to greet her, stood beside her, and asked in a low voice,
"Why are you here?"
Fan Shengmei quickly explained, "Xiao Qu told me that someone from Guokun might have been involved in the rent cancellation. I also received an anonymous message saying that my mother was brought in. I'm afraid something might happen..."
Fan's mother was furious with Fan Shengmei because of Fan Shengying's imprisonment, so she grabbed her.
"You're such a heartless person! You're hiding away and not coming back, right? How can you be so cruel! You sent your own brother to jail while you're enjoying yourself outside! I don't care, you have to get him out, or I won't live anymore!"
She cried and wailed, the conference room was in chaos, and several senior executives shook their heads.
As everyone was watching this farce——
A cold voice came from the door.
"Don't you understand how your son ended up in jail?"
Fu Wenying walked slowly into the meeting room in high heels, and glanced at Fan's mother with a cold look.
"As parents, if you can't treat your daughter equally, if you keep asking for things, if you allow your daughter to gamble, if you treat your daughter as a stepping stone and cash machine for your son, and ultimately suffer the consequences, shouldn't you reflect on your own actions?"
She smiled faintly and said, "Your daughter, whom you don't love, will be left to me from now on."
Fu Wenying walked to Fan Shengmei, with an elegant posture but with unquestionable protection.
"This child is independent and self-reliant. She has made her own way through her own abilities and has never relied on the Meng family for anything. Her brother broke the law, and she killed him for the sake of justice. What crime has she committed?"
Her gaze swept over every executive present. "Guokun's leadership is based on ability, character, and vision. The Meng family fully supports Meng Yanchen's choice. As for those who attempt to use other people's private affairs to attack and undermine the company's foundation... they truly lack a clear understanding of the situation and are irresponsible."
Fu Wenying's gaze finally fell on Dong Chengmin.
"Boss, we are all old now, and the group has been handed over to our children. Please stop worrying about it, otherwise..."
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, but the smile did not reach her eyes, and her tone was cold.
"It's not worth it!"
Although Dong Chengmin was indignant, he had to force a wry smile and said nothing.
Fu Wenying looked at Fan Shengmei, took her hand and introduced her to the directors.
"Let me introduce to you all, this is the daughter-in-law recognized by my Meng family, Fan Shengmei!"
