Chapter 89 Half a Catty

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. You probably won't have time to bother me anymore. You stink, like fish and shrimp. I'm afraid you'll lose the big deal you negotiated with someone."

Wang Xicheng was stunned when Dai Qing said this. How did she know that he had a business? He hadn't even told his parents about this.

Looking at her mocking eyes, Wang Xicheng felt panicked for some reason.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Let me tell you, talking nonsense and spreading malicious rumors are also crimes. As long as I sue you, you still can't get away." Little girl, if you want to fight with him, you're still far away.

Dai Qing looked at the couple, then at the dejected old lady Wang, and a gleam of pity flashed in her eyes. It was their karma to give birth to such a debt-collecting son.

"You rebellious son, do you have any conscience? Even if we didn't take good care of you when you were little, we have tried our best to make up for it. What else do you want? You are the only child in the family. In the end, everything belongs to you. Do you really want to kill the goose to get the eggs and force us to die?"

"Mom, what are you talking about? You are old, so it is inevitable that you are confused. It is the right choice to hand over the financial power of the family to Xicheng. He is your only son, and we also have children to raise. You can't just watch us suffer, right?"

Zheng Yuexiu looked at her with disdain and rolled her eyes. The old man was already in the hospital. What if the old woman also fell ill? Wouldn't she be left with the money?

"Xicheng, look at your mother. She only cares about the little money she has and doesn't treat you as her own son. As expected, if you are not raised by her, she won't be close to you at all."

Old Mrs. Wang's face flushed and she was shaking with anger.

"You...you are such a heartless woman. Since you married into our family, how have I ever let you down? You keep gossiping all day long. You are half to blame for the situation that has come to this."

"Bah, old man, what are you talking about? You were so cautious and treated me like an outsider. Now you're pushing the blame on me. Don't you have any responsibility for your own mistakes? You deserve this."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law argued fiercely, their faces flushed. Wang Xicheng drooped his eyelids and pursed his lips, apparently agreeing with what his daughter-in-law said.

Dai Qing looked at them and shook her head.

"A virtuous wife brings few troubles to her husband. You two are the same, neither of you is virtuous. Otherwise, the family property would not have dwindled down after it was handed over to you."

At this moment, the phone on Wang Xicheng's waist rang. As soon as he raised his hand to answer it, he took a breath of cold air in pain. He quickly switched to his other hand to answer the phone. After a moment, his face turned pale.

His originally resentful eyes were now filled with fear, and he was so flustered that he couldn't even hold the phone.

"Xicheng, what's wrong?" Zheng Yuexiu looked at his expression and couldn't help frowning.

"The batch of seafood we ordered was improperly transported and all went bad." It was several tons. We had hoped to seize the opportunity and stock up before the Mid-Autumn Festival to make a fortune, but we didn't expect such a mistake to happen?

"How could this happen?"

Zheng Yuexiu was shocked. That was a whole ship's worth of cargo. They had invested all their money in it. How could it go bad just like that?

"I don't believe it. How is it possible? Luo Jun promised us that it would be delivered to us intact. He promised us that... No, I will go find Brother Luo. He won't lie to me."

Dai Qing looked at her with a sarcastic look in her eyes. When she mentioned Luo Jun, the color of her cheeks became darker and even tended to turn black. Needless to say, Luo Jun was the object of her ambiguity.
