Chapter 121 The Wind Rises, the Xiang Family is Going Bankrupt
After arranging his work, Shao Muyan went to the affiliated primary school to pick up Shao Yun and they went to the hospital together.
On the way, Shao Yun said to Shao Muyan, "Xiang Chu didn't come to school today."
Shao Muyan: "You asked for leave?"
"Um."
Shao Yun: "I asked the teacher, and he said he had taken several days off."
When Shao Muyan thought of Xiang Chu, a complex mix of emotions welled up inside him.
The child isn't inherently bad, but she's easily manipulated. Whether it's Gan Xiaoxing or the Xiang family, they repeatedly use Xiang Chu to hurt Yu Yan, and it always works. Xiang Chu always falls for their tricks.
Ultimately, he followed the Xiang family's nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, weighing the pros and cons, and taking advantage of Yu Yan's birth of him, so he was fearless.
It's all because they're used to it.
"After all, you were frightened last night, so it's normal for you to rest at home for a couple of days." Shao Muyan noticed Shao Yun's worry and reassured him.
Shao Yun shook his head slightly, "Perhaps it's because they don't dare to come see me."
Shao Muyan looked at him, "Oh?"
“Xiang Chu is not completely unable to distinguish right from wrong; he can still listen to reason.”
Shao Yun said, "He should now know that it wasn't his aunt who pushed him into the water last night. He knows he wronged his aunt, and he feels wronged on one hand, but on the other hand, he doesn't dare to face it."
Shao Muyan knew that Shao Yun was always insightful and had analyzed Xiang Chu very clearly.
Patting his head, Shao Muyan said, "Let him think it through himself. He should be more sensible by now."
When they arrived at the hospital, Shao Muyan saw that Yu Yan's face was pale, just like last night, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.
"What happened?"
Madam Shao recounted the incident of Madam Xiang's outburst, and Shao Muyan frowned repeatedly as he listened.
This is never going to end.
That whole family, like the evil spirits, once you're entangled with them, it's hard to escape.
"Auntie, don't be afraid."
Shao Yun held Yu Yan's hand, frowned, and said seriously, "Your great-grandmother and uncle are not easy to mess with. They will help you get revenge."
It's a pity he's still too young and not strong enough, otherwise he could protect his aunt.
I won't give anyone the chance to hurt her.
Yu Yan smiled faintly, "I'm not afraid."
She looked up at Madam Shao and Shao Muyan, her slender, fair face showing no sign of dejection, her bright black eyes radiating a dazzling intelligence. "I'm not someone to be trifled with either."
Shao Muyan stared intently into Yu Yan's eyes, feeling a jolt in his chest as he suddenly recalled that night.
Can't.
Shao Muyan frowned inwardly, doubting himself.
How could he connect Yu Yan with that night? He's really gone mad.
—
Xiang Jingheng was overwhelmed with many matters and wanted to visit Yu Yan in the hospital, but he couldn't find the time at all.
Gan Xiaoxing stayed in the hospital and didn't go out. She was waiting for Xiang Jingheng to visit her or come over to question her about whether Xiang Chu's drowning incident had anything to do with her, but Xiang Jingheng never came.
She saw the news that Xiangshi Technology was mired in a tax crisis, and she still harbored resentment towards Xiang Jingheng. Even if he was busy with work, he should have come to see her.
Do we really have to wait for her to back down, just like before?
Mrs. Xiang and Xiang Jinglan did come to see her. Gan Xiaoxing casually asked, "Why didn't Xiang Chu come? Did she go to school?"
Xiang Jinglan was about to say something when she was stopped by a look from Xiang Tai.
Mrs. Xiang said, "He hasn't been to school for several days. It's all because he fell into the water that night and was frightened. I was even planning to invite a master to come and wake him up. The child is like he's lost his soul."
Gan Xiaoxing's eyes flickered slightly. "Oh, it's that serious?"
Xiang Jinglan was a big leak; as soon as Xiang Tai left, she revealed the truth under Gan Xiaoxing's prompting.
“I was planning to bring Xiao Chu, but he didn’t come. I don’t know what’s wrong. Before, if he said he wanted to come see you, he would definitely come with us without saying a word. But this time, when I tried to drag him along, he got angry.”
Gan Xiaoxing sneered inwardly, the slight guilt that had just surfaced vanishing in an instant.
I raised them for three years for nothing. It's true that if they're not your own children, they're no good. The relationship is so superficial. How can it be as stable as blood ties?
It seems she still needs to take advantage of her youth to find a way to have a child with Xiang Jingheng. Only with a child together can she be bound to Xiang Jingheng for life.
Just like him and Yu Yan, they are divorced, but they are still connected because of their child.
After Gan Xiaoxing was hospitalized, she stopped updating her social media accounts for several days. She didn't even dare to open them. When she opened her private messages, they were all red, all questioning her about why she committed academic fraud.
The thought that her path to becoming an internet celebrity had been cut short by Yu Yan made her seethe with hatred!
It's not a big deal. Her parents can support her, so she won't starve. Even if she can't become an internet celebrity, she can still join the family business and become a boss.
Just as Gan Xiaoxing calmed herself down, she saw the news that "Yu Yan" had once again appeared on the scientific research list.
She led the chip project developed by WD Research Lab to win numerous national and ministerial awards, including the second prize of the National Technological Invention Award, the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, the first prize of the Ministry of Education Natural Science Award, and the first prize of the Ministry of Education Science and Technology Progress Award.
Yu Yan herself received funding from the National Natural Science Foundation of China's Excellent Young Scientists Fund and won the IEEE Electron Devices Society Young Scientist Award.
Her and Shao Muyan's previous papers were also included in SCI and were rated as ESI highly cited papers.
Gan Xiaoxing: "..."
As I watched, my eyes welled up with tears.
Each of these is a goal that researchers strive for, and something that Gan Xiaoxing once confidently obtained!
Unfortunately, she was expelled from the research community and can only watch helplessly as Yu Yan reaches the top.
The flames of jealousy burned in Gan Xiaoxing's heart, and she angrily smashed her phone!
Yu Yan, what makes her so special?
What makes her so special?!
Xiang Jingheng had been waiting with the tax bureau staff for several days, and he was extremely anxious.
What made Xiang Jingheng anxious and worried was that their auditing was slow, and that Xiang's Technology had many subsidiaries, some of which were not managed by him, but by his half-brothers.
He can guarantee that the accounts of the company he manages are in good order, but he can't guarantee the safety of his incompetent brothers.
No matter how much a few people fight for power and profit in normal times, those are internal conflicts. Behind closed doors, they are still a family. But once they step outside, they are a community of shared interests.
We all prosper together, and we all suffer together.
Looking at the stocks that keep hitting their daily limit down, if they keep falling like this, they might as well file for bankruptcy.
Chairman Xiang developed a patch of white hair overnight from worry, and Xiang Jingheng also had a few more. They both guessed that it was the Shao family who were behind it, and Xiang Jingheng was even certain that Shao Muyan was behind it!
But without evidence, he didn't dare to go up to Shao Muyan and question him. Besides, questioning him would be useless. If Third Master Shao was determined to punish him, how could he resist?
Who would have thought that the dignified Third Master Shao would resort to such underhanded tactics?
They made a special trip to Beijing to see Chairman Shao, hoping he would intervene in their son's affairs, but Chairman Shao refused to see them.
They didn't give him any face at all, making the chairman lose all face, and he slunk back to Shangzhou.
Who told his wife to offend Madam Shao?
Chairman Shao was known for protecting his wife when he was young. He had personally witnessed someone making things difficult for Mrs. Shao at a dinner party, and Chairman Shao directly smashed a bottle over the person's head, leaving the person looking like a bloody gourd.
His record is notorious, but it can also be described as having an impressive track record.
Shao Muyan followed suit, willing to do anything for Yu Yan, completely unafraid of making enemies.
Having offended such a group of people, Xiang the chairman was helpless and could only try to find some old friends to mediate. He was angry and naturally had no good feelings towards Mrs. Xiang.
He doesn't go home anymore, he stays at his lover's place every day.
Mrs. Xiang couldn't help but call, only to be yelled at by the little vixen on the phone, which made her so angry that she got a few more wrinkles on her face.
What worries Mrs. Xiang even more is that she has suddenly been blacklisted by the social circle of wealthy women in Shangzhou. These past few days, she has been unable to find mahjong partners. It's as if they had all conspired to avoid her, treating her like a plague.
She then remembered Mrs. Shao's words: "You're the one who can't make it in high society, not me."
Could it really have been her who spoke up?
Fortunately, Gan Tai still cared about her.
When Xiang Tai received Gan Tai's call, she was about to speak, her voice trembling, when Gan Tai said, "Xiao Xing has been kidnapped! I can't contact Jing Heng. Please help me contact him quickly. It's a matter of life and death. Only Jing Heng can save my daughter now!"
