Chapter 359: Making a scene at the company banquet
Seeing Zhou Shuang put the check for five million directly into her bag, Du Yuqian was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.
After collecting her money, Zhou Shuang looked at Du Yuqian with a smile: "So Miss Du, if you have anything else to say, you can say it all at once. After drinking this glass of water, I'm going back."
She didn't drink the coffee prepared by Du Yuqian. Who would drink this stuff when she was pregnant?
"Zhou Shuang, don't go too far. I don't ask for much."
She came to ask for money, not to repay a debt.
"Asking for even a dime from me is extortion. I know you don't ask for much, but you're not worth it. If you were truly worth this return, the check you'd take out of your pocket would be worth more than five million. Qi Huaijing is a businessman, and a businessman's greatest skill is accounting."
Zhou Shuang slowly stood up: "Ms. Du, I think our conversation ends here."
She turned around and walked a few steps, then took out Du Yuqian's confession and placed it on the table: "By the way, this is what you wrote, take a good look at it yourself. If there is nothing else, I will leave first. I have a recorder here, you don't want others to know what you said.
In addition, the money Qi Huaijing gave you should be a commission, not a resettlement allowance. He has already told me about your situation, Ms. Du. Using fabricated evidence and untenable lies to deceive your original wife is in itself unacceptable behavior."
Du Yuqian looked at her slightly protruding belly, and flames rose in her eyes.
As soon as Zhou Shuang reached the door, several men in black rushed up. One of them covered her nose with a handkerchief and dragged her into the back seat of the car.
The black business car drove to an inconspicuous corner and the driver called Du Yuqian.
"Ms. Du, we have the person."
"Okay, wait for me over there."
She slowly stood up, paid the bill, and walked out of the restaurant with graceful steps.
Zhou Shuang is much more naive than her. Now that everyone wants to abandon her, she doesn't care about anything else.
After getting in the car, Zhou Shuang was knocked unconscious and fell on the back seat. Du Yuqian took her bag and searched it for a long time but couldn't find the recorder that was taken away last time.
It contained all her admissions about her collusion with Qi Huaijing to harm Wang Jinwei. If Wang Jinwei got hold of it, she would be in real trouble.
Unfortunately, she searched Zhou Shuang's entire bag, including the interlayer, but found nothing inside.
"Where is it?"
A layer of fine sweat appeared on Du Yuqian's forehead, but she couldn't care less now. She could only take Zhou Shuang to her place first, and at the same time sent a message to Qi Huaijing.
He took a photo of Zhou Shuang's face and said, "Qi Huaijing, one hundred million, not a cent less."
She lost everything: her reputation, her dignity, and her future.
She was risking her life, and if she died, she would drag someone else down with her.
At this time, Wang Jinwei and his wife were holding a celebration party in the company.
Wang Jinwei was wearing a neat suit, and Mrs. Wang was also wearing a custom-made cheongsam. Her fat body was squeezed into the cheongsam with great difficulty, and her belly was very prominent. Wang Jinwei frowned when he saw it.
On the rostrum, Wang Jinwei reluctantly held Mrs. Wang's hand. When he saw his father-in-law in the audience, the smile on his face deepened.
"Our company's ability to sign such a large order today is inseparable from everyone's efforts. Here, I want to thank our boss lady the most."
As soon as Wang Jinwei finished speaking, the door of the conference hall opened and someone brought in nine hundred and ninety-nine bright red roses. Wang Jinwei plucked one from the bunch and knelt directly in front of Mrs. Wang. Then, like a magic trick, he took out an extra-large red velvet box from his pocket.
Mrs. Wang's eyes were filled with surprise. "Madam, you have been silently supporting me all these years. My success is inseparable from your encouragement. Tomorrow, I will spend 300 million to buy this Nanfei pink diamond at the auction. Yanran, marry me again."
Wang Jinwei's proposal caught everyone off guard. He was nearly fifty years old, bald, and had a much bigger belly than Mrs. Wang's. He knelt on one knee and spoke cheesy words, which made the younger generation of employees in the company feel the hair on their hands flutter and their scalps numb.
But even with such a greasy and clichéd scene, Mrs. Wang's eyes instantly filled with tears.
Who said that I helped my husband to achieve great ambitions and killed my beloved first when I got ashore? Didn’t she get unprecedented rewards for helping her husband to achieve great ambitions?
"Marry him."
The half-old voice from the audience was like stepping on a dog's tail, and the waves of cheering and booing that followed suit were louder than the last.
"Marry him, marry him, marry him—"
The employees followed suit, especially the supervisors, who shouted even louder, wishing they could accept the diamond ring on Mrs. Wang's behalf.
Mrs. Wang covered her lips with her hands, tears streaming down her face. She took off the ring and wanted to put it on her hand. When the classic line, "I do," was about to come out of her mouth, a magical scene appeared.
"Mrs. Wang, I wonder if you can give birth to a son for Mr. Wang. What are you willing to do?"
I saw a woman standing behind the cart of roses, holding a five-month-old boy in her arms and walking towards the crowd.
When Wang Jinwei saw the woman's face clearly, he was so frightened that he froze.
Mrs. Wang's expression changed, and her excitement turned into anger in a second.
"Wang Jinwei, what's going on?"
Mrs. Wang yelled so loudly that her voice could be heard throughout the hall.
Wang Jinwei tried to explain, but the woman holding the child pressed forward, sneering at Mrs. Wang: "Sun Yanran, I gave Wang Jinwei a son. If you don't have the ability, then give up your position as Mrs. Wang."
Mrs. Wang's feet, which could not support her fat body to begin with, now seemed to be bearing a thousand-pound weight. Her whole body swayed twice and she almost fell.
Wang Jinwei's expression changed: "You, you are making trouble. What are you doing here at this time?"
Wang Jinwei panicked. He had indeed given birth to a son outside. Du Yuqian had a bad reputation, so he naturally wouldn't want her. It was hard to say about other women.
Sun Yanran had been married to him for twenty years and had only one daughter. She wanted to have a child but could never conceive. Of course, this was also related to Wang Jinwei himself. He was so drunk and having fun outside that he didn't want to touch Mrs. Wang at all. So how could Mrs. Wang get pregnant?
"Why can't I come? I gave birth to a son for you. Why do you let her enjoy all the glory in the company while I have to hide like a rat in the gutter? Why? I'm holding the eldest grandson of your Wang family."
At this time, Queen Mother, who had been suppressed by the Sun family for a long time, also stood on the side of Xiao San.
"Yanran, a man in his forties without a son would be laughed at back home. You're the eldest wife after all, so give the younger one some leeway. The company signed such a big deal today, I heard it's worth billions. Think about it, Jinwei has already made you very proud, so for my sake, you should acknowledge this sister and son together today."
Wang's mother was about to happily take her grandson from the woman, but Mrs. Wang was not a pushover. Wang Jinwei was dumbfounded and pulled his mother aside, whispering, "Why are you causing trouble for me here?"
The Queen Mother was very dissatisfied: "How did I cause trouble? I told you a few years ago that our Wang family needs to have a son, and the daughter-in-law must give birth to a son before returning to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors. She has been married to you for twenty years and has not given birth to a son. What's the harm in you finding a younger one outside?
She is the eldest sister after all, so she should act like an eldest sister. Why is she competing with the younger ones? Just because she can't give birth to a son, does that mean she can't allow others to have children with our family?"
Wang's mother made all the decisions for Wang Jinwei, but she forgot that this daughter-in-law was not the daughter of an ordinary family. It was not right for the Wang family to step on her to climb up and then kick her down.
Before Sun's father could get angry, Mrs. Wang started to get angry first.
"What are you talking about? I'm the eldest sister. Do you think your son is an emperor or a prince? It's fine that he spends his time drinking and partying outside without your mother's care, but now you dare to let him have a son outside and climb over my head.
So what if I didn't give birth to a daughter? Don't forget that your son was raised by our family. Without our Sun family, he would be nothing. You old woman, you've only had a few days of good food and you're already thinking of flying off before you've even started walking. You want me to recognize this child as my son? No way."
Wang Jinwei was so frightened that his face turned pale. He originally signed the contract to show his ability in front of his father-in-law, so that he would be able to entrust all the Sun family's assets to him for management in the future. As long as his father-in-law transferred the assets to his wife, he would have done well and won the hearts of the Sun family.
He won’t have to worry about not having the chance to eat up Sun Yanran, the extinct family member, in the future.
The plan was well-made, but I didn't expect that it would be ruined by the Queen Mother's chaotic operation.
Wang Jinwei didn't dare to act as arrogant as his mother in front of his wife and father-in-law, so he immediately slapped San'er who was holding the child.
"Who knows you? Who said this is my son? How dare you, some bastard, come to my company and claim him as your father? You're trying to blackmail me, right? Tell the security to kick this woman out."
The woman was shocked. She didn't expect that Wang Jinwei was so sweet-mouthed when he lied to her about giving birth to a son, but when the real thing came, he turned his back on her in an instant.
The Queen Mother missed her grandson so much that she became furious when she saw her son beat her grandson's mother.
"Are you crazy? What do you want this woman who can't give birth to a son for? Do you want our Wang family to be extinct? You gave birth to a daughter before and gave her the surname Sun. Now you can't give birth to a son. What's wrong with me asking someone outside to give birth to a son for you?
Since she is a woman who married into our Wang family, she will be our Wang family in life and our Wang family ghost in death, so she should listen to me, the mother-in-law. If she can't give birth to a son and still dares to make a fuss, she would be thrown into a pig cage in the past—"
As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, Mrs. Wang slapped her hard in the face.
"What did you say? Say it again. Who do you want to put in the pig cage? Me?"
Seeing his mother being beaten, Wang Jinwei also got angry.
For so many years, he has been treated like a slave and obeyed his father-in-law's orders in the Sun family. As a man, this is really enough.
If it weren't for the Sun family's money and power, Wang Jinwei would have dumped this ugly woman long ago.
"Sun Yanran, stop it right there! How dare you hit my mother?"
Just as Wang Jinwei raised his hand, Sun's father coughed heavily, and Wang Jinwei's hand stopped abruptly in mid-air, and he immediately gave up.
With this slap, not only did all his previous forbearance go to waste, but he also had no chance of getting any benefits from the Sun family in the future.
When the Queen Mother saw that her son did not hit Sun Yanran, she rushed over and slapped Sun Yanran.
"I'm your mother-in-law. Is there any law against a daughter-in-law hitting her mother-in-law? I'm telling you, I've decided on this grandson, and I'm also going to decide on this daughter-in-law. You either accept him and this sister, or you divorce our Jinwei and get out of our Wang family."
The Queen Mother was also anxious for her grandson. She said that she would keep this grandson no matter what and would never let her grandson and his mother suffer outside.
Sun Yanran smiled brighter than anyone else.
"I'm marrying into your family? Old woman, are you so old and confused that your brain is not working well anymore? Is it me, Sun Yanran, who is marrying into your Wang family as a daughter-in-law? His mother is your Wang Jinwei, who is marrying into your family and living off you. You said it was good, but after a few full meals, your parents no longer recognize you for food and clothing. Good, well done."
Wang Jinwei's twenty years of planning turned his teammate's mother into ashes in one day.
"Mom, can you please calm down? I don't want any sons. I only want my daughter with Yanran. I only have one daughter."
Then he pointed at the woman holding his son and said, "Get out of here, as far away as you can."
After he finished speaking, Wang Jinwei knelt down in front of everyone: "Wife, Dad, you must believe me, this woman is a liar, she saw that I had money and came to me to cheat me out of it. My mother is old and confused, you must not take it to heart."
Wang Jinwei knows better than anyone that his current situation is entirely due to his powerful father-in-law.
Once he's gone, no one in the business world will even look at him as a live-in son-in-law.
But the Queen Mother didn't know that when she saw her son signed a multi-billion dollar deal, she thought he could go it alone and no longer have to look at the Sun family's faces.
However, in Wang Jinwei's eyes, this order was just a stepping stone to gain his father-in-law's trust.
"Jinwei, there's no need to beg them. You're capable now, so why are you still following them like a dog? This woman can't give birth to a son. Divorce her immediately and get her out of our Wang family."
The Queen Mother's back straightened and her voice became louder.
In recent years, her son has been working for the Sun family, and she has been ridiculed everywhere. Many times, Wang Mu does not attend high-end dinners. As long as she sees someone's eyes are not right, she thinks that others are laughing at her son.
Therefore, the Queen Mother had long been dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law Sun Yanran, and she had no gratitude for the support of Sun Yanran's family for her son. Instead, she felt that they were stepping on her son and her dignity.
Now that her son has become successful, she naturally wants Wang Jinwei to dump Sun Yanran and find a daughter-in-law who listens to her and whom she can control.
"Mom, please stop making trouble. Someone, come quickly, take my mom out."
Wang Jinwei was in a panic, and then dozens of security guards rushed in and took Wang's mother away safely. As for the woman holding the child, she was not so lucky.
She was taken away by the police, along with her child.
Wang Jinwei was soaked in sweat. The company's employees were smart enough not to stay any longer. It would not be good for them to know too many secrets.
Only Wang Jinwei, his father-in-law and Mrs. Wang were left at the scene.
"Dad, that woman is a liar. Don't trust her. Many people have targeted me over the years, but I really only love Yanran."
Wang Jinwei burst into tears, but Mrs. Wang threw a genetic test photo on her mobile phone at his face.
"This is also a frame-up, Wang Jinwei. I've tolerated you for so long. Do you know what day it is today? You insulted me in front of the entire company and even sent that woman here with the child. What do you think of me?"
Sun's father also looked disappointed.
"Jinwei, I've treated you like my son all these years, waiting for you to give me a satisfactory answer. Today, I finally got it, but I didn't expect you to do this."
Mr. Sun had a look of grief on his face, Mrs. Wang sat on the velvet sofa with a cold face, and Wang Jinwei looked at his wife anxiously.
"Yanran, I'm sincere to you. I really don't know who is behind this. They must be trying to use the bad relationship between us to achieve their ulterior motives."
Mrs. Wang snorted coldly, "Who could possibly be behind your back? Are you talking about your mother? Didn't you hear what she just said? I can't have a son. She can make you divorce me and even want me to recognize another woman's child. Didn't your mother say that herself? Wang Jinwei, do you think I can't get married and that I have to be with you?"
Wang Jinwei was so frightened that he was incoherent.
"Wife, listen to me, it's not true. My mother must have been deceived by that woman."
He was completely scared this time. He wanted to show off in front of his wife and father-in-law at the banquet, but his plan was ruined by his mother.
Mr. Sun stood up and Sun Yanran hurried to help him.
"Some things you should handle yourself. I have nothing to say to you."
His father-in-law and wife left in front of him. Wang Jinwei sat down on the sofa with weak legs and couldn't get up for a long time.
He sat on the sofa and calmed down for a long time before finally regaining his sanity and legs.
Wang Jinwei drove back to his villa and saw his mother at home, furious and scolding the servants.
When the Queen Mother saw her son's car, she rushed directly to him.
"You, you don't want to make me angry to death, my grandson——"
Wang Jinwei ignored his mother and rushed into her room to pack her luggage himself.
"You, what are you doing?"
Seeing her own son throwing his luggage out, the Queen Mother was dumbfounded.
After Wang Jinwei threw away all his things, he looked at his mother and said, "Mom, don't blame me for being disrespectful to you. When I become rich, I invite you to come to the city to enjoy my life. If you agree, join forces with the women outside to deal with me."
The Queen Mother was stunned: "What do you mean by joining forces with the woman outside? They are my daughter-in-law and grandson."
"You want a daughter-in-law, right? Fine, you can take that woman with you, and take the child back to the countryside to raise him. Don't worry, I'll give you 10,000 yuan a month for living expenses. I won't stop you from doing anything you want, but don't bother me."
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment: "You, are you talking like a human being? I'm your mother, of course I'm doing this for your own good, for the good of our Wang family. What's the point of having a woman who can't give birth to a son?"
Wang Jinwei immediately interrupted his mother: "What's the use? She can make me have endless money and endless face. What do I need the woman you brought with me for? She eats my food and uses my things, and she still wants to harm me.
Anyway, she has given birth to a grandson, so you can take him away with you. I won't interfere. But from now on, don't come looking for me in the countryside. Stay as far away as possible."
