Chapter 601: Inflated to the Point of Losing One's Way
Sheng Jiang originally wanted to keep Wang Bingbing here to annoy his daughter-in-law and dampen her "arrogant" spirit.
Now, before he had even done anything, she was already leaving?
Wang Bingbing felt itchy all over and extremely uncomfortable; she had to go back immediately to get checked out.
Besides, Sheng Hanyu wasn't there either, so why stay behind to accompany the old man in annoying Shi Youxuan?
She wasn't interested.
Sheng Jiang wanted to keep his guest, but no matter what he did, he couldn't make her stay; Wang Bingbing still took her leave and departed, and the meal he had specifically ordered the kitchen to prepare for the guest went completely untouched.
"Hmph! Are you satisfied now that my guest has been driven away by you?" Sheng Jiang looked at his daughter-in-law with displeasure, glared at her, and prepared to return to his room.
"Stop right there."
Shi Youxuan stood up, a faint smile still on her face, but the words she spoke were extremely firm: "Wang Bingbing is not allowed to come to this house again. This is my first and last warning to you, President Sheng; if there is a next time, I will not be as polite as I am now."
"Shi Youxuan, what can you do if you aren't polite?"
"That's enough, shut your mouth, don't say another word." Wang Yinghao hadn't been looking for a second, and her husband was already spouting nonsense.
Wang Yinghao had only found out today that they had invited Wang Bingbing to be the company's brand ambassador.
With so many fewer people showing up today, Sheng Jiang felt he had lost face; his wish to host a grand three-day event had fallen through, and even Wang Bingbing's attendance hadn't managed to win back many people.
Sheng Jiang called those who hadn't attended; some wouldn't state their reasons, while others just made up random excuses to brush him off.
But no matter what excuses people used, their attitudes were very cold, and most of them even asked at the end: "This is your company, it has nothing to do with your son, right?"
After receiving his affirmative answer, those people would hurriedly hang up the phone, and there would be no further contact.
Sheng Jiang was filled with suppressed rage.
But he didn't blame his son; he blamed all of this on his daughter-in-law.
He believed that all of this was Shi Youxuan's doing; she always had many devious ideas, so if it wasn't her, who could it be?
Against this backdrop, when Wang Bingbing politely told him she would visit the house in the future, he had a "flash of inspiration" and insisted on inviting her to the house for lunch immediately, just to disgust his daughter-in-law.
As it turned out, just a single seating arrangement was enough to scare Wang Bingbing away.
Before he could even lose his temper, his daughter-in-law had actually attacked first.
Shi Youxuan not only had a cold face, but she didn't even call him 'Dad' anymore and used a strictly professional tone, which made Sheng Jiang even angrier.
He wanted to teach his daughter-in-law a lesson, but his wife told him to shut up.
Shutting up was impossible; Sheng Jiang put on the airs of the head of the household, preparing to lecture his daughter-in-law: "Shi Youxuan, you've gone too far. What kind of junior speaks to an elder like this? You apologize to me."
Shi Youxuan:...
If they were to really start a row, she certainly wouldn't be afraid of her father-in-law.
A hundred Sheng Jiangs wouldn't be able to out-argue Shi Youxuan, but she didn't argue; no matter who was right or wrong, she couldn't possibly get into a shouting match with her father-in-law.
She turned and walked away, going upstairs and slamming the door shut with a "bang."
Downstairs.
Sheng Jiang pointed at his wife and complained: "It's all because you spoiled her. As a daughter-in-law, she doesn't do any work, yet you, a mother-in-law, are busy running around like a servant, and you still have to take her abuse..."
Wang Yinghao corrected him: "Stop spouting nonsense. I'm busy because I want to be; nobody is forcing me to work. I'm just used to being busy and can't sit still. Xuanxuan has already done well enough, so stop making trouble."
"I'm not making trouble."
Sheng Jiang stiffened his neck and refused to admit it.
He ordered his wife: "Go pack your luggage now. We aren't living here anymore; we're moving out."
Wang Yinghao: "Moving where? What about our grandson? Don't you miss the child?"
Sheng Jiang said huffily: "For the time being, we'll move to the company to live; my place there is still empty. Once it's cleaned up, we'll move back home. Don't worry, I can support you; we don't have to stay here and take this abuse."
"They can raise their own child; don't you worry about it in the future. Even the son is useless, and the grandson is even more useless..."
He was acting like he had eaten gunpowder today, and he had such strong opinions about Shi Youxuan.
Every word was heart-piercing.
Sheng Jiang insisted on moving out, though Wang Yinghao didn't actually want to.
But if she didn't go with him and let him go out on his own, she wouldn't be at ease.
Wang Yinghao wanted to go upstairs to tell her daughter-in-law, but Sheng Jiang blocked her, refusing to allow it no matter what!
The door to the master bedroom upstairs remained closed, and there was no movement inside; Wang Yinghao had no choice but to pack her suitcase and leave with her husband.
Shi Youxuan stood by the window, watching her parents-in-law leave.
This time, she did not stop them.
L Country.
Zhu Family Castle.
In the luxurious and imposing Study, the person sitting behind the large executive desk was not very imposing at all; he was cursing in a fit of rage: "Trash, idiots, how is it that the people of the Sheng Family get worse one after another?"
"Is he a pig-brained fool? Why move out of the house? Go tell him, tell him to go back immediately... wait!"
He realized he was being too agitated.
When people are agitated, they often cannot make accurate judgments.
He forced himself to calm down and maintain emotional stability.
There was no one else in the Study besides him.
The computer on the desk was on, showing another office, with a man about his age sitting opposite him.
The man was not surprised by this situation.
He was often like this, his emotions suddenly spiraling out of control, yet he could always calm down before making a judgment!
Although the man was used to seeing him like this, he could not hide the anxiety on his face.
After waiting with great difficulty for the flush on his face to gradually fade, the man asked hurriedly: "Minister Zhu, when can my wife and son return to my side?"
Minister Zhu was Zhu Yiwen.
The man on the other side of the screen was Zhu Xingye.
Before Feiying kidnapped Zhu Xingye's wife and children, although the two of them shared the same surname, they were completely unrelated to each other.
But Zhu Xingye's wife and children had been kidnapped by Feiying.
Being at the mercy of others, he had no choice but to listen to Zhu Yiwen.
Zhu Yiwen's complexion returned to normal, and he said unhurriedly: "Sir, please rest assured, your wife and children are all very well; they have adapted very well to living here, and the children's studies have not been delayed either."
"Clap, clap!"
He clapped his hands twice, and soon his subordinates brought in a beautiful white young woman and two pretty mixed-race toddlers, aged three or four.
They were Zhu Xingye's wife and children.
One boy, one girl; the two children were fraternal twins.
The young woman's belly was slightly rounded, containing their third child, who was now four months along.
"Daddy."
"Husband."
"Daddy, where did you go? Why aren't you living with us?"
His wife and children were not tied up, and it didn't look like they had been abused; the heart that Zhu Xingye had been keeping in his throat settled down slightly.
"Alisha, how have you been living? Have they given you any trouble?" he asked his wife hurriedly.
Alisha?
Zhu Yiwen shuddered all over; he was allergic to this name.
Back then, when Sheng Hanyu disguised himself as a woman, he used this very name.
He suddenly flew into a rage: "You are not allowed to be called Alisha, why call yourself Alisha? There are thousands of beautiful names in the world; why choose that one? Change your name, change it immediately!"
Alisha hurriedly pulled the two children into her arms, and the three of them huddled together, trembling.
Zhu Yiwen's appearance had terrified them.
"Darling, darling, sweetheart! Minister Zhu, I was wrong, I won't use that name anymore, I will never use it again! Darling, darling!" Zhu Xingye was indeed a master of Wall Street investment banking; his reaction was extremely fast, and he immediately changed his form of address for his wife.
