Chapter 50

Xiao Ming recognized Wang Mengran as soon as he entered the door; at that moment he spoke in an indifferent tone: "You only see me now? Is your eyesight failing?"

Or have these past few years been too comfortable?

No no no no, Mr. Xiao, please forgive me, I... Wang Mengran wanted to explain but didn't know how, helplessly lowered his head: "Sorry, Mr. Xiao, I was wrong."

Xiao Ming gave an indifferent hum, then spoke indifferently again: "So, are you still here waiting for me to invite you for tea?"

Good heavens, it's actually that person.

Wang Mengran, astonished in his heart.

Xiao Ming, still as before, decisive and ruthless, extremely cold.

At this moment, just this one sentence of his almost scared Wang Mengran out of his wits, draining all color from his face: "Xiao, General Manager Xiao, I'm very sorry; I didn't realize you had a grudge with the Wen Family. I'll leave immediately, I'll leave immediately."

Wang Mengran finished speaking and made to leave.

General Manager Wang, what's wrong with you...

Seeing Wang Mengran scared witless by just two sentences from Xiao Ming, Wen Fengshu looked utterly bewildered.

She stared dumbfounded at Wang Mengran and tentatively asked: "General Manager Wang, do you think the Wen Family has been negligent?"

No no no. Wang Mengran, trying to avoid Wen Fengshu, hastily stepped back a few paces: "Ask that old lady, I don't know you."

General Manager Xiao, I came to the Wen Family today by mistake; I'll leave right away and from now on cut off all ties with the Wen Family.

After saying that, Wang Mengran, as if seeing a ghost, grabbed his son and hurried away.

Your son, don't let me see him again.

Xiao Ming said in a cold tone; Wang Mengran, already far away, hearing this, turned ashen-faced, yet turned back and obediently replied: "Yes, General Manager Xiao, I will send him abroad immediately upon returning, and never let him appear before you again."

Subsequently, he fled the Wen Family swiftly, like greased lightning, escaping for his life.

Good heavens, good heavens, am I seeing things? Wen Fengshu stood dumbfounded on the spot, unable to come to her senses for a long time.

That Wang Mengran, whom she usually yields to out of respect, why did he react this way upon seeing Xiao Ming?

She invited Wang Mengran because his high status would give her face, making others think she had broad connections, even knowing a big shot like Wang Mengran.

This would also greatly benefit her move into An Jin.

Never would she have imagined that such a big shot would instantly turn into a grandson-like figure when facing Xiao Ming.

General Manager Xiao, indeed it's General Manager Xiao.

Good heavens, he actually showed up here.

We're doomed; we actually failed to recognize him.

Some surrounding merchants also recognized General Manager Xiao at this moment; the whole group turned ashen, eyes full of fear, dreading that the next moment they themselves would be the victims.

Among them, the CEO of Dexun Technology, Wan Feiyu, and the CEO of Huawei, Tang Qingming.

These people are prominent figures in the business world, wherever they go they hold themselves high and mighty.

But after recognizing Xiao Ming, these prominent figures all lost their nerve.

Afterwards, they all stepped forward in unison, bowing to greet Xiao Ming.

General Manager Xiao.

General Manager Xiao.

Hmm. Xiao Ming responded indifferently, his gaze cold as he looked at Wen Fengshu: "As you all see, I have an irreconcilable grudge with the Wen Family."

Those who wish to side with the Wen Family should first plan their retreat.

Or get lost immediately, right now, swiftly.

Xiao Ming's voice wasn't loud, but it struck like a thunderbolt among these big shots, hitting each of their hearts.

The group trembled slightly, then swiftly ran away.

The speed was astonishing, leaving everyone stunned.

It was as if a ferocious beast were chasing them from behind.

The prominent figures all ran away; among the guests invited by the Wen Family, only some insignificant people remained.

They all stared wide-eyed.

The Wen Family is indeed quite capable of being able to invite big shots to An Jin.

But no matter how formidable these big shots are, in Xiao Ming's eyes they are merely petty underlings.

With just a word from Xiao Ming, the painstakingly built businesses of these people in the business world could vanish in an instant—who would dare oppose him?

The onlookers saw those big shots so terrified before Xiao Ming, not daring to even breathe; when Xiao Ming told them to scram, they immediately fled as if for their lives.

Who on earth is this person called Xiao Ming?

Some, seeing the situation turn bad and fearing they'd be dragged in, quietly followed those big shots as they left, even skipping the polite farewells to Wen Fengshu.

In just a moment, the Wen Family went from being overcrowded to deathly quiet, aside from a few who were willing to side with the Wen Family—businesspeople and clan members.

How could this happen?

How...

Wen Fengshu saw everyone leave, her face suddenly losing much of its color, muttering in disbelief.

The rest of the Wen Family members also turned ashen-faced.

Just who are you? After about two minutes, Wen Fengshu finally recovered from the upheaval, glaring fiercely at Xiao Ming, her eyes seeming to want to devour him.

Xiao Ming couldn't be bothered to give her an extra glance, and said to the three Wen Yunzhe siblings: "Come on, let's go."

Wen Yuchun and the others, seeing Xiao Ming's mighty and overbearing presence, had their grievances replaced by admiration.

Deep down, they were shocked to the extreme.

Dad was also overly domineering.

Wen Yunzhe's eyes were filled with utmost admiration, his whole body trembling with excitement.

He was totally unexpected—Xiao Ming simply uttered a few cold remarks and made those business tycoons act like grandchildren.

Wen Jingrou and Wen Yuchun, the two sisters, one on the left and one on the right, linked arms with Xiao Ming's arm.

The Geng family, who had come together to attend the banquet, were so shocked their hearts almost jumped out; seeing Xiao Ming about to leave, the whole family tacitly followed him out of the Wen residence.

After walking two steps, Xiao Ming stopped in his tracks and spoke coldly: "Wen Fengshu, have Zihan's belongings ready; I will send someone to pick them up tomorrow. Don't play any tricks—I might still consider giving the Wen family a way to survive."

"I advise you not to lift a stone only to drop it on your own foot."

Having said that, Xiao Ming took his children and parents-in-law and left.

Inside the Wen family villa, silence fell at once.

Every member of the Wen family had a dark, ashen face; thinking back on what had just happened, they all found it hard to believe.

"Which biological father of the old lady's maternal grandsons is so formidable?"

"We don't know either; there's no such tycoon in An Jin's business circles."

"Oh no, it seems the old lady has brought great disaster upon our Wen family; she shouldn't have provoked that person."
