Chapter 238 What Kind of Holy Father?
The cousin's wife stared at Du Anrao's youthful and handsome face. She was deeply moved when she thought that the man in front of her was two years younger than her son, yet he had easily obtained what their family had always dreamed of.
"This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible! The auction house has been established for more than 18 years. How could you be the boss behind the auction house when you are only 18 years old? You lied to me, you two teamed up to lie to me!"
"Excuse me for being blunt." Duan Rao gestured up and down at the hysterical woman, "Do you have anything worth deceiving me? And who said I'm the boss behind the auction house?"
"You...didn't you just say..."
"I am indeed the current owner of the auction house. The previous owner was my elder."
"You're kidding me!"
Duan Rao: “…”
[As expected, all the brain-dead weirdos have a common disease, that is, they like to shirk responsibility. Anyway, it is others who are wrong, and they cannot be wrong. Du Tianci's family was like this before, and this woman is also like this now. Oh, yes, there is also a bit of paranoia. ]
Xi Jingyue: “…” After thinking about it carefully, it seems to be the case.
"I don't care if you are the boss or your elder is the boss, you have to give me an explanation for what happened today."
"What explanation do you want?" Du Anrao asked casually, but as if he thought of something, he turned to look at Manager Wen.
"What's going on with her husband? Does her family really have shares in the company?"
Manager Wen's heart skipped a beat when he heard her ask this, but he finally answered truthfully, "There are no shares at all. Apart from you, the auction house only has scattered shares. My father also has a small portion. In the past, he would give a portion of the dividends to some relatives in the industry every year because they worked hard."
"The money was divided into several parts according to the population, and they were promised that as long as they worked honestly in the auction house for 20 years, the corresponding part of the shares would be transferred to them, so that they would have a support and security for the rest of their lives."
In other words, there was no written agreement on the so-called shares from the beginning, let alone any transfer of ownership. It was just a verbal promise, and this promise also had preconditions.
The auction house has only been established for 20 years. The woman's husband was arrested three years ago, so he definitely does not meet this condition. Not to mention that he falsified accounts and embezzled the auction house's assets. It was good enough that the auction house did not ask him for money in return. The Wen family father and son are actually still giving money to their family.
The woman panicked when she saw Manager Wen bringing up the rules set by Old Man Wen. "You're talking nonsense. You're bullying our widow and orphan. Without a backbone, whatever you say goes. Hey, the parents-in-law in heaven are in charge. Open your eyes and take a look. Without you, we've been bullied like this. How can we live?"
"..." Here they are again, an orphan and a widow. Didn't she just say that people who described them like that were cursing her husband to death? Now she is shouting happily just to get money.
What Duanrao hated most in his life was the crying, making a fuss and threatening to commit suicide route. He rubbed his temples irritably and looked at Manager Wen with sympathy and resentment.
"What kind of saints are you and your father? Don't you know the principle of gratitude and resentment? Look at how much she has grown up with this. She wants you to give her all the money in the family."
Manager Wen smiled bitterly, "It's not me or my father, it's my second uncle, my cousin's father. Back then, my father's business failed due to a scheme, and our family was in debt. Other relatives avoided us as much as possible, but my second uncle and aunt lent us all their savings."
Duanrao also fell silent after hearing this.
[So it is said that the debt of favor is the hardest to repay. Helping someone in need is indeed a great favor. No wonder people still help others support their wives and children even after they have been sent to prison.]
Xi Jingyue: “…” Although this is indeed the truth, why does it sound so weird?
"A few years ago, my second uncle died of illness. Not long after that, my second aunt fell down at home and died not long after. My cousin is my second uncle's only son..."
It is no wonder that this is the case. Since the favor was not repaid by the previous generation, it is natural that it will be passed on to the next generation.
But understanding is one thing, but we still have to deal with the real issues separately.
"Auntie, what on earth are you trying to do by making such a fuss? Do you think your husband is lonely in there, and want to go in and keep him company?"
Manager Wen also cooperated with a gloomy face: "That's right, this is not a place for you to cause trouble. If you continue to make trouble, I will ask the security to drag you out directly."
The woman saw that she had been yelling for a long time, but neither Manager Wen nor Du Anrao had thought of paying her and now wanted to kick her out. She became anxious and put her hands on her hips, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
"I'm telling you, don't mess around. I, Xiang Qiu Fu, wasn't scared of anything. If you really push me to the limit, I'll just run into you and die. Anyway, you're going to force both of us to death. If I don't live well, then no one else will!"
"You!" Manager Wen was really furious. "Security, security, come in, throw this woman out. If she dares to make trouble again, call the police and report her for disturbing the peace."
"Wen Youen, you've made it! You actually wanted to call the police to arrest your own sister-in-law! Father-in-law, if you are still alive, please open your eyes and see what kind of ungrateful people you used all your family property to save. He didn't dare to do anything when you were here, but now that you're gone, our whole family will be forced to death by him!"
"Wen Youen, you will be punished sooner or later for treating your loved ones and benefactors like this! Oh, why is my life so miserable..."
The cousin-in-law of the Wen family is also a ruthless person. When she saw Manager Wen calling the security, she sat down on the ground and started howling. Facing the bodyguards who came forward to arrest her, she was even more aggressive and fired at full force.
The bodyguards were frightened by her reckless and crazy behavior, and they didn't dare to do anything to her for a while.
No matter how powerful Manager Wen was, he was still somewhat powerless in the face of such a scoundrel, especially since this man was a relative or benefactor. He felt so angry and aggrieved that his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
The people in the chaos ahead did not notice that after Duanrao heard someone say "I, Xiang Qiu Fu, was not scared", he was stunned for a moment, and then showed a thoughtful and solemn expression.
Xi Jingyue noticed it, and felt that there must be something wrong with this woman who came to cause trouble, so he frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Du Anrao did not answer his question. Instead, he walked to Manager Wen and asked tentatively in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Xiang Qiufu? Her name is Xiang Qiufu? Qiu as in Qiuqiu, Fu as in Furong? Does she have a younger brother named Xiang Sida?"
