Chapter 82: Most Annoying (Extra Chapter 1)

He broke into the house to steal, and not just once; my daughter was defending herself, so of course we sent him to jail.

As they spoke, Zhu Xueheng's emotions flared again, "You all have no idea how fierce she is! If we hadn't come back quickly, she would have wanted to give someone a spanking!"

……

When Zhu Xueheng and Liang Lijiang were heading home with the evidence, they were preparing to open a bottle of wine to celebrate. This time it really went smoothly!

They had just opened the door when they heard a "pop" sound.

Liang Yan ran out, grabbed a vase in the hallway, and was about to continue walking in the direction she had come from.

Liang Lijiang quickly called out to her, "Huo Huo!"

"Mom, you're back? I beat the bad guy!"

……

"If she hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that the old fogey from the Liang family threatened her, forbidding her from revealing that the assistant had entered my wife's study. If she had spoken out, the only option would be to send her to the family she hates most, to make her a child bride."

Zhu Xueheng was furious upon hearing that!

Liang Yan is only five years old!

A child bride? How dare that old fogey say such a thing!

Moreover, that old fogey put on a show, acting all partial toward Liang Yan. Even when threatening her not to speak about the assistant's matter, he would just give Liang Yan some trinkets, lying to her that it was for her and Liang Lijiang's benefit.

Fortunately, Liang Yan isn't stupid; she sensed something was off and wasn't brainwashed by that old fogey.

"That old fogey even has the nerve to tell my wife he misses Liang Yan!"

Su Xi nodded, "So her saying you can't resolve it is no problem."

Zhu Xueheng was speechless. If it weren't for yesterday's message from Su Xi, prompting them to gather a heap of evidence, they now truly couldn't stand up straight and refuse that old fogey's demands.

"That assistant has stolen quite a bit over the years. Previously he relied on those things to become that old fogey's right-hand man, and we could also rely on those things to turn our fortunes around and clear our names."

"We can also use those things to counter-sanction that old fogey, making him shut up!"

"Does the Liang family have anyone with abilities similar to Liang Lijiang's?"

Zhu Xueheng crossed his legs, "Why are you asking that? You already have a wife, so why are you still thinking about the Liang family people?"

Su Xi found Zhu Xueheng's glass-hearted love brain especially annoying at this moment, always dragging everything into emotions and still being so fragile!

"Do you know that old fogey has a little son overseas?"

Shi Xu widened his eyes, "Can he even hear that?"

They've only just started cooperating, right?

"A little son? How young?"

Zhu Xueheng knew that old fogey had an illegitimate child overseas; Liang Lijiang had told him. But Su Xi deliberately added the word "little"…

"How old?"

Zhu Xueheng slammed the table, "What?!"

"Biological?"

Shi Xu also couldn't quite believe it—the old man is about seventy, yet he has a child of a few years old! If it's biological, they'd have to rely on IVF?

"Biological, the designated heir."

"Then what does that make my wife?"

Zhu Xueheng was angrier than if he himself had been deceived!

"No wonder he's been trying to suppress my wife, preventing her from becoming heir—turns out he had someone else in mind!"

Just thinking about Liang Lijiang's ordeal over the years makes him feel upset. She really worked herself to death for the Liang clan, and just when she was about to become heir, they told her, because she had an illegitimate daughter and her reputation was poor, they'd have her wait a few years before becoming heir.

"Disgusting! They could just hire a professional manager, but instead they insist on squeezing every bit of value out of the other Liang family members!"

Su Xi reminded him gently, "The thing that should make you angriest isn't you! And it's not Liang Lijiang either!"

"Then who is it?"
