Chapter 839
Live-in Sons-in-Law Are Unreliable
Xu Bo'an regretted saying those words as soon as he did. So many boys had pursued Ye Xingning back then, including some outstanding ones. Even if he had confessed to Ye Xingning himself, she would never have chosen someone as ordinary as him!
But the words have already been spoken, so let it be. Let it be an answer to the regret I kept in my heart all those years ago!
Ye Xingning smiled and said to Xu Bo'an, "Maybe he'll agree!"
Xu Bo'an knew that Ye Xingning gave such an answer because she had been unhappy with her life over the years. If she were living a happy and fulfilling life now, she would never have given such an answer.
Even if Ye Xingning were to return to her student days, she would still not give herself any chances.
Now, Xu Bo'an is no longer the impetuous young man he once was, and Ye Xingning is no longer the goddess who was once high above and admired by countless boys.
After more than a decade of social life, Xu Bo'an, though not very successful in love, experienced a qualitative leap in his quality of life after unexpectedly acquiring the Bonsai World. He went from being an ordinary boy at the bottom of society to a dazzling figure today, skipping several social classes.
Xu Bo'an has not only undergone a significant change in appearance, becoming even more handsome than before, but the confidence and self-assurance that comes with his affluent material life are also naturally reflected in his appearance.
On the other hand, Ye Xingning is still as dazzling and beautiful as she was back then, but she has suffered such a great betrayal from her lover. Now, after drinking too much and letting down her guard, you can clearly see the fatigue on her body.
Ye Xingning's answer to me just now only proves what she thinks at this moment.
The two chatted casually while drinking, and the night passed just like that.
The next morning, when Ye Xingning opened her eyes with difficulty, she saw Xu Bo'an lying next to her. She was speechless and felt that Xu Bo'an had taken advantage of her. Just as she was about to raise her hand to wake Xu Bo'an up, she suddenly remembered that she was the one who suggested continuing to drink yesterday.
Ye Xingning shook her head and carefully recalled the scene from yesterday. Then she remembered that Xu Bo'an wanted to take her home, but she refused and insisted on continuing to drink with him. Thinking of this, Ye Xingning reached out and slapped her head.
Just as she was about to get up and try to escape, Xu Bo'an woke up. Ye Xingning quickly pretended to close her eyes, trying to hide her embarrassment!
When Xu Bo'an woke up, he was just as surprised as Ye Xingning. How did he end up in bed? And when he turned his head and saw Ye Xingning, he was even more annoyed. How did he end up sleeping with Ye Xingning in such an intimate position?
Xu Bo'an quickly pulled his arm away from Ye Xingning and tiptoed out of bed toward the bathroom.
Similarly, Xu Bo'an didn't want Ye Xingning to know that the two of them had slept in the same bed last night, otherwise it would be too awkward!
Yesterday, while drinking, I confessed to her that I had a crush on her when I was in school. This morning, we woke up and were sleeping in the same bed, hugging each other. Which woman wouldn't overthink this? She would think it was a trap set to possess the other person!
If Ye Xingning really misunderstands me like that, what kind of person would I be?
Xu Bo'an cares a lot about his reputation. He doesn't want others to have such unnecessary misunderstandings about him, especially since that person was his former love.
Xu Bo'an tiptoed to the bathroom. A while later, Ye Xingning got out of bed and saw that she was still wearing her clothes. She breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling very fortunate that she hadn't done anything too outrageous last night.
After getting out of bed and tidying her clothes and shoes, she was about to sneak away when Ye Xingning's phone rang.
When Ye Xingning saw that it was her shameless husband, Ma Hongyu, calling, she hung up the phone in a huff. The phone rang again immediately after she hung up. Ye Xingning glanced at it and saw it was Ma Hongyu again. Annoyed by Ma Hongyu, she answered the phone. Before Ma Hongyu could even speak, Ye Xingning said to him irritably, "Ma Hongyu, you'd better not bother me again!"
Last night, Huiwanjia Supermarket encountered a huge crisis. Ma Hongyu was already in a very bad mood, and now, hearing Ye Xingning say this, he became even angrier. He shouted angrily into the phone, "Ye Xingning, stop talking nonsense to me! Overnight, many companies terminated their cooperation with Huiwanjia Supermarket. What's going on?"
Ye Xingning was delighted to hear Ma Hongyu's words, which meant that Li Dehou's phone call yesterday had played a significant role. She sneered at Ma Hongyu and said, "Heh, now that you hold most of the supermarket's shares, how would I know what's going on at the supermarket?"
Upon hearing Ye Xingning's words, Ma Hongyu said irritably, "I heard from people in the company a while ago that you met with a business partner, and the next day that partner terminated the cooperation with our supermarket. I have reason to suspect that you were the one who did it!"
Ye Xingning said, "Heh, think what you want! I can't be bothered with you!"
Ma Hongyu said, "You need to explain yourself clearly. Did you do this?"
Ye Xingning said, "Does it matter that much whether I did it or not?"
The reason Ma Hongyu asked Ye Xingning this question was because the red-haired woman had analyzed it for him behind his back, thinking that it might be Ye Xingning's revenge on Ma Hongyu. At first, Ma Hongyu thought her analysis might make some sense, but then he thought about how he had been in the Ye family for so many years. He not only understood the Ye family's character, but also knew that the Ye family didn't have that much power. If they did, the Ye family would probably use their connections to get back the shares he had taken, instead of doing something as foolish as destroying the supermarket.
After asking the question, Ma Hongyu realized he had asked it redundantly. He was confused because the company was facing such a huge problem. Ma Hongyu continued, "Huiwanjia Supermarket was founded by your Ye family. I don't think you would do something so stupid. A large portion of the companies that previously cooperated with Huiwanjia have suddenly terminated their partnerships with us. Do you know how much damage this will cause to the company? Now the shareholders' meeting is a complete mess, with everyone shouting to resign from the board!"
After hearing what Ma Hongyu said, Ye Xingning said to him indifferently, "Let them withdraw if they want, what's the big deal! Then you'll have all the company's shares, isn't that exactly what you've been dreaming of? Oh, right, in that case, I should congratulate you!"
Ma Hongyu said, "Congratulations my ass! In the current situation, if I were to monopolize the shares, wouldn't I be taking the fall for my own scheme?"
Ye Xingning said to Ma Hongyu on the phone, "Taking the hit? Is it as serious as you make it out to be?"
Ma Hongyu said, "It's very serious. In just one night, Huiwanjia Supermarket lost several million yuan. If this continues, Huiwanjia Supermarket will be destroyed soon. I called you to ask if you have any ideas."
Ye Xingning clearly understood from her conversation with Ma Hongyu that the company was facing a very urgent situation, which was exactly what she wanted to see. She wanted Ma Hongyu to back down.
Ye Xingning said, "The company is already under your control, what can I do?"
Ma Hongyu said, "Huiwanjia Supermarket was founded by our dad. You should quickly find him and see if he has any ideas on how to help the company overcome this crisis!" Ye Xingning said to Ma Hongyu, "You only think of my dad now? My dad is definitely powerless to help with such a big problem! Alright, that's enough, stop bothering me!"
Ye Xingning hung up the phone after she finished speaking.
Ma Hongyu called Ye Xingning because he felt that Huiwanjia Supermarket was founded by the Ye family, and the Ye family would never watch it be destroyed. He was desperate and wanted to find a solution.
After overhearing Ye Xingning and Ma Hongyu's phone conversation in the bathroom, Xu Bo'an came out and said to Ye Xingning, "It seems that Li Dehou's phone call yesterday played a crucial role!"
Ye Xingning said, "Yes, I could tell from Ma Hongyu's words on the phone just now that things are very serious!"
With this incident in the middle, Xu Bo'an and Ye Xingning had long forgotten the awkward situation they had just had.
Xu Bo'an said to Ye Xingning, "Just wait. I believe more companies will terminate their contracts with Huiwanjia Supermarket. I bet there will be some excitement this afternoon!"
After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Ye Xingning looked at Xu Bo'an with a puzzled expression and asked, "What do you mean?"
Xu Bo'an smiled and looked at Ye Xingning, saying, "Think about it, Li Dehou is a formidable figure in Jiangcheng. When other companies see that all of Li Dehou's companies have terminated their cooperation with Huiwanjia Company, they will definitely follow suit after seeing the trend, fearing that if something goes wrong with Huiwanjia Supermarket, they will be unlucky too! In that case, wouldn't Ma Hongyu be under even more pressure?"
After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Ye Xingning smiled and said to Xu Bo'an, "Your analysis is absolutely right!"
Xu Bo'an said to Ye Xingning, "I'll go with you to see the excitement this afternoon!"
Ye Xingning nodded at Xu Bo'an after hearing his words.
The two chatted for a while in the private room. When it was time for lunch, Xu Bo'an ordered a few dishes and had the hotel waiter bring them up. After they finished eating, Ye Xingning's phone rang again.
Ye Xingning picked up her phone and saw that it was her father calling, so she quickly answered the phone. Then she heard her father's anxious voice on the other end of the line: "Ningning, what happened to our Huiwanjia Company all of a sudden? How come so many companies have terminated their cooperation with the supermarket overnight?"
Ye Xingning did this without telling her father, which is why her father asked that question.
Ye Xingning replied, "Dad, how did you know?"
Ye Xingning's father said, "This news is everywhere on the news websites in our province!"
Ye Xingning was stunned after hearing her father's words. Although her family's business was not small, it was not so big that it would alarm the news network so quickly. The news spread far too fast!
Ye Xingning said, "Dad, don't worry, I'll handle it in a bit!"
Ye Xingning's father said, "Ningning, how can I not be anxious? Although most of the company's shares have been embezzled by that bastard Ma Hongyu, it's an industry that your father built from scratch. As long as the company doesn't go bankrupt, we still have a chance to take it back no matter who has it. But once the company goes bankrupt, it will cease to exist, and we will have absolutely no hope!"
Ye Xingning's father has been feeling weak lately because of what that bastard Ma Hongyu did, and he's been resting at home. Ye Xingning doesn't want her father to get upset again.
However, she didn't dare tell her father that she was the one who did it in order to take back the company, without him knowing the truth. She was afraid that if she only said half of what she knew, she would anger her father before she could finish the sentence. Therefore, she didn't plan to tell her father about it on the phone now. It wouldn't be too late to tell him after she successfully got the company's shares back.
Ye Xingning comforted her father, saying, "Dad, the most important thing for you right now is to get well. You don't need to worry about this. Leave it to me. I'll go to the company later and report back to you!"
Hearing his daughter's words, Ye Xingning's father said helplessly, "Alright, then you must tell me when you find out!"
Ye Xingning obediently replied to her father, "Okay, Dad, that's all, bye-bye!"
While Ye Xingning was on the phone, Xu Bo'an heard that the local news in Jiangcheng had reported on the Huiwanjia Supermarket incident. He had already checked his phone and found that the local news channel in Jiangcheng was full of news about Huiwanjia Supermarket, which also exposed Ma Hongyu's evil deeds!
After Ye Xingning hung up the phone, Xu Bo'an handed the phone to Ye Xingning and said, "Xingning, look, the local news in Jiangcheng is indeed reporting a lot about Huiwanjia Supermarket!"
Because she was anxious, Ye Xingning didn't open her own phone to check. Instead, she reached out and opened the page that Xu Bo'an had shown her, and then saw a lot of negative comments about Ma Hongyu.
"Ma Hongyu is a beast! As the son-in-law of the Ye family, he was trusted so much, yet he secretly seized the shares! Not only did he have an affair, but he also wanted to monopolize the company. He's a heartless bastard!"
"That son-in-law who lives with his wife's family is absolutely despicable!"
"A son-in-law who marries into a family is truly unreliable! The Ye family helped him rise from humble beginnings, and he turned around and bit them. Any woman with a daughter should never marry into such a family!" (End of Chapter)
