Chapter 51: Is it that billion with the single‑person radical?

Wen Fengshu heard the clan members whispering and discussing, and she was so angry her lungs hurt.

She felt short of breath, and immediately felt the surroundings spinning.

She never expected that a perfectly fine birthday banquet would end up making her lose all face.

"Grandma." Wen Dongyu, helping her up despite being crippled seven times over, said with eyes full of killing intent: "Those damned things are too over the top, daring to be so arrogant in our Wen family."

With a thump.

Wen Fengshu backhanded him with a slap, angrily scolding: "If it weren't for you being so useless, would I have to waste my thoughts on them?"

"Grandma."

Wen Dongyu, struck dumb by the slap, replied with a tearful face: "Grandma, that person together with Xiao Ming is too arrogant, daring to cause trouble in our Wen family; you must properly deal with him."

"Sigh, I must be angered to death."

Seeing Wen Dongyu so foolish, Wen Fengshu weakly sighed, gave the Wen family members a cold glance, and said coldly: "All of you get lost, don't stay here to be an eyesore; also, during this time, go out less and avoid causing trouble."

Having said that, she angrily left and returned to her own room.

The first thing she did upon returning to her room was to immediately call those business magnates of that stance, but she hadn't expected that those who had previously been polite and even flattered her wouldn't answer a single call.

After a couple more attempts, the other party simply shut off their phone, avoiding her as if dodging a virus.

After half an hour of calling, only one person with whom she usually had a very good relationship answered his phone.

That person sighed and said: "Wen Elder Sister, how did you end up provoking that great god?"

"Great god?"

Wen Fengshu was completely bewildered: "You're talking about Xiao..."

"Yes, it's him, and if he really is the biological father of those few children, then he would be your son-in-law, Wen family, but how did you make the relationship so hostile?"

That person sighed helplessly.

"I think you must have many doubts now; I can definitely tell you that great god is not someone you can provoke. Have you seen Wang Mengran of the Heavenly Abyss? Someone like him, a big shot, is utterly humble before that great god."

"Just what kind of deity is he?" Wen Fengshu pursued, unwilling to give up.

"Initially, when Mingrui Dairy Products Company was struck down by foreign capitalists, that great god immediately lent thirty billion, helping Mingrui survive that crisis, and at the time he said he only needed the principal repaid."

"Jiu Kang Company, when it first launched a major project, went to ask him for help, and he readily gave twenty billion."

"Heavenly Abyss Group, a few years ago when it was expanding into real estate, also sought that great god's help; the great god lent fifteen billion, which still hasn't been repaid to this day, and you have personally seen their attitude toward that great god today."

"If that great god becomes displeased and goes to Heavenly Abyss to collect debts, then Heavenly Abyss would be finished."

"In short, he is an untouchable god in the business world, with ability so vast it's beyond imagination; even, the Yun patriarch from North City comes every spring festival to An Jin to see him and maintain good relations."

"This great god usually doesn't like to put on airs, so many people don't know him."

"Your Wen family's strength is quite strong, with over a hundred billion in assets, but compared to that great god, it's merely a drop in the bucket."

"Afterward, that person, as if worried that Xiao Ming might find out he was in contact with Wen Fengshu, hurriedly said: 'Wen Elder Sister, that's all I can tell you; decide for yourself what to do next.'"

As his words fell, he instantly ended the call.

"I..." The words Wen Fengshu had brought to her lips couldn't be spoken; looking at the darkened phone screen, it took her a while to recover from what that person said, and she muttered angrily: "Why is this happening?"

No matter what, she couldn't believe that the biological father of those three siblings actually possessed such great strength.

No wonder she had people investigate, yet they found nothing.

"Hmph!" After a while, Wen Fengshu plopped down on the bedside, her eyes filled with intense hatred mixed with despair.

"No, impossible, he couldn't possibly be that formidable."

"......"

Night, past nine o'clock.

Xiao Ming took several children and the entire Geng family away from the Wen household.

When they arrived, they had ridden in a car sent by Wen Fengshu; now, as they left the Wen residence, the area outside the Wen family gate was empty, not even a vehicle's shadow in sight.

The surroundings were quiet.

This, Wen Yuchun cheerfully turned to look at Xiao Ming: "Dad, you were way too domineering today."

Wen Yuchun recalled how her father, at the banquet, with just a few words made those great gods flee the Wen household in fear, and she felt extremely happy; now, however she looked at her father, he seemed handsome.

"Hehe, you little cutie, just your sweet talk." Xiao Ming affectionately rubbed his daughter's little head.

Afterward, he glanced at the few people behind him—Wen Jingrou and Wen Yunzhe—who, although also surprised, were still alright.

But his daughter-in-law Geng Jing Shu and her parents acted rather exaggeratedly, all looking bewildered, clearly still not having recovered from what had just happened.

The first to regain his senses was Geng Tianhua.

He took a glance and immediately felt ashamed.

He initially thought that Xiao Ming provoking the Wen family would surely not end well, and he secretly worried for Xiao Ming.

He never expected that a few sentences from Xiao Ming would scare off those business magnates.

The Wen family, which is indeed a very prominent aristocratic household, and those business magnates who were scared off—each a notable figure in the business world, wherever they go they are high and mighty, objects of flattery.

Yet when faced with Xiao Ming, they all acted like grandsons.

Geng Tianhua's heart was shaken for a long while before he hesitantly asked Xiao Ming: "Mr. Xiao, who exactly are you?"

"Hehe, in-law, don't think too much; I'm just an idle person."

Xiao Ming fell silent for a moment, then smiled faintly and continued: "In the Wen family, those people fear me so much probably because I have a bit of money."

"Dad,"

"The one with many zeros after it, that billion."

Wen Yuchun laughed and responded.

Nowadays, Xiao Ming's wealth and strength are displayed before the several children; at this moment, Wen Yunzhe excitedly asked: "Old dad, tell us, just how rich are you?"

This, in fact, is also something the Geng Tianhua family, Wen Jingrou and Wen Yuchun sisters are curious about; after Wen Yunzhe posed the question, everyone looked expectantly at Xiao Ming, awaiting his astonishing answer.

"Well..." Xiao Ming thought, glanced at everyone, then smiled and said: "Like this, since there's nothing else tonight, I might as well take you to see where I live."
