My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 597: Late Retribution 5

Zhao Shuqin straightened her long hair and looked at Xi Zhen with a cold sneer, "Do you think I’m too greedy, trying to reach for something grand without actual abilities? Xi Zhen, did you appoint Xi Ya to guard the Huanya headquarters in London? How can you be so careless, thinking that the grandchildren whom you’ve suppressed like this would listen to you?"

Xi Zhen seemed to sense something, and his face turned a livid blue. He pointed at Zhao Shuqin, almost bursting into a curse, but his self-control prevented him from being so rude, his fingers trembling.

"Zhao Shuqin, Huanya is my bottom line. You can’t do this."

"Xi Zhen, what about my bottom line? Did you consider that back then? Do you still remember how Xi Gu came about?"

Xi Zhen’s face turned ghastly pale, a flicker of embarrassment crossed his face, "I know it was my own fault back then, you were innocent, but that’s no reason for you to target Huanya;

Over these years, I’ve met many of your demands and conditions—you don’t have the right to argue, you know what I’m talking about."

Zhao Shuqin was indifferent, thinking about how every memory over the years filled her with hatred so intense she could never forgive Xi Zhen.

Forgiveness, easier said than done.

Now, all she harbored in her heart was hatred, no other emotions — she could even exploit Xi Gu, much less Xi Zhen.

"Xi Zhen, no need for nice words, we’re not good people, naturally, there’s no need to do things only good people would do. I know very well what kind of person you are, and you don’t need to know what kind of person I am; I’ve been out here for many years, you don’t lack my money, I can do many things."

"You..."

Xi Zhen’s face turned red, suddenly finding himself at a loss for words, he was getting old and couldn’t stand such stress.

Zhao Shuqin snorted coldly, "If you want to die, don’t die here and dirty my place. Your butler is outside, shall I call a doctor for you?"

"Zhao Shuqin, do you know what you’re doing? By doing this, do you think Huanya will eventually become your cake?"

"No, no, no, my focus isn’t on whether Huanya will become my cake or not, but it doesn’t matter, as long as it’s not your Huanya cake, that’s fine."

...

The butler saw Zhao Shuqin open the door and through the gap saw the old man lying across the chair, his face red and gasping for breath, startled, Zhao Shuqin didn’t stop him, "Go check on your master. He looks like he’s not going to make it, take good care of him."

The butler passed her, took out medicine from his pocket, walked over, and directly put a pill into the old man’s mouth. The old man slowly regained his senses, and Zhao Shuqin walked away.

Xi Zhen looked very upset, quickly said to the butler, "Call the vice president. I need to ask about the situation in London. Zhao Shuqin’s reach is getting too long."

The butler, frightened, didn’t delay and dialed the phone quickly, after several rings, it was picked up on the other end, "President Xi?"

"Is Xi Ya at the company?"

"Yes, he has reported in."

Xi Zhen thought for a moment and said to the vice president, "Be on your guard against Xi Ya, he is a ticking time bomb. If there is any mishap in the London company, I will hold you accountable, do you understand?"

The vice president didn’t know what had happened. He could only nod and did not know what else to say, "Yes, I understand."

"Old man, what happened?" The butler looked at the phone handed to him, puzzled, but a fleeting sharpness glinted in the depths of his eyes.

Old Master Xi had not faced him, therefore he had not seen the light deep within his eyes.

he said, "Zhao Shuqin threatened me with past incidents, and I do not yet know what specifically she wants, but it certainly won’t end well."

The butler, "She..."

Old Master Xi, "Don’t bother with her. With Huanya in her hands, I’m afraid it can’t be preserved. She holds great power, and now I am trapped. How could I have been so foolish as to agree to her demands at the beginning, sacrificing Huanya because of my guilt?"

Xi Zhen felt an indescribable regret, but having reached this point, it seemed there was nothing that could be changed.

This woman was not ordinary; she was only concerned about how to make this old man pay a tremendously heavy price. How could he let her have her way?

The deputy director was his loyal man; he believed in the deputy director over his own grandchildren.

Since Zhao Shuqin wanted to trap him here, then he was trapped, only hoping she would not regret her own decision, after all, he was also a person who had climbed his way up from the very bottom.

...

When Xi Yan and Xi Yang burst into Xi Ya’s office, Xi Ya had just hung up the phone with Zhao Shuqin, right on time with no discrepancies. Both swaggering around Xi Ya, whose pupils suddenly contracted as he looked angrily at the two uninvited strangers, "Xi Yan, Xi Yang, don’t forget where this is. Do you dare to be so arrogant?" ƒreewebɳovel.com

With his phone ready under the table to make a call, Xi Yang scoffed coldly, raised the jammer in his hand, and said nonchalantly, "Sorry, I invented this jammer myself, and it works well. If you can make a call, I lose."

Xi Ya’s face turned pale. He stopped pretending, took out his phone, and placed it on the desk, looking at them both, "You two, you came back together? Does Grandpa know you two are partners?"

Xi Yang and Xi Yan glanced at each other, both inexplicably looking at Xi Ya, "Are you stupid? Who told you we are partners? We just happened to meet at the door. Plus, we have the same goal, so we thought we’d come here to meet you, talk about life aspirations and stories. Why are you freaking out?

"If you’re going to slander, at least find an excuse that can convince people. Your nonsense could get you thrown in jail, believe it or not?"

Xi Ya, with a dark face, "If there’s nothing else, you two should leave. You’re not welcome here."

"Didn’t we say it? We’ve come with a purpose, we want to take control of everything here. You, listen well, and it’s fine. If you don’t, that’s fine too, it’ll be easier to find an excuse to torment you."

Xi Ya, "Have you two lost your minds?"

They were blatantly saying they wanted to deal with him.

Did they not know that his people were all around outside?

To sit here, did they not know it was by grandpa’s instruction? Did they dare to defy Grandpa’s orders?

Uncertainty flickered across Xi Ya’s face, but Xi Yan and Xi Yang did not care at all, both of them approached him, each grabbed one of his arms, and started to lead him out.

When had Xi Ya ever suffered such humiliation, "You two let go, I am the person Grandpa personally appointed, what do you want to do?"

Xi Yan reluctantly said, "Nonsense, Grandpa isn’t even here, yet you sit in his seat. You’re the one asking for death, you’re shameless."

Xi Yang, "Exactly, we’re going to detain you first, then tell Grandpa who you were talking to on the phone. Do I need to bring the evidence?"
