Chapter 1924
My Excellent Brother 4
Yu Mingruo brought a late-night snack to Zhang Haiyao.
Given that Yu Mingruo is the chairman's daughter and she admires him, Zhang Haiyao, although he does not accept Yu Mingruo's feelings, still treats her somewhat differently from other women.
Zhang Haiyao ate the late-night snack that Yu Mingruo brought, out of courtesy.
After finishing his meal, Zhang Haiyao went to the restroom to rinse his mouth, leaving his phone in his office.
Just then, the phone rang.
Yu Mingruo picked up Zhang Haiyao's phone, saw the caller ID, and sneered.
"Hello..." Yu Mingruo's voice became hoarse and languid, with a hint of charm, "Who is it? Haiyao is in the bathroom. If you need anything, call back in half an hour, or I can pass on the message."
The call was abruptly disconnected.
Yu Mingruo smiled smugly.
She successfully created a misunderstanding between Zhang Haiyao and his girlfriend, but also let Zhang Haiyao know that she was the one who caused the trouble.
In order to win back his girlfriend, Zhang Haiyao accepted her invitation and decided to resign.
Yu's father was unwilling to let such a talented person leave, so he promised to promote Zhang Haiyao and make him the company's general manager.
Zhang Haiyao was very tempted.
The position of general manager is second only to the chairman of the board.
If he left the Yu family company, he would never get such good treatment at any other company and would have to start from scratch.
Years of hard work went down the drain.
Zhang Haiyao ultimately chose to stay at the company.
His girlfriend got very angry because of this, and it took Zhang Haiyao a long time to calm her down.
Yu's father was dissatisfied with Yu Mingruo and, fearing that she would continue to harass Zhang Haiyao, decided to send Yu Mingruo to a branch office in another city.
The Yu family's business partners held a banquet, which was attended by Yu's father, Zhang Haiyao, and Yu Mingruo.
Liu Wenyang was also among those invited, and went to the hotel where the banquet was held with Si Haoran, who represented the Si family.
Si Haoran didn't bring his girlfriend and didn't like those cunning old foxes in the business world, so he spent most of his time with Liu Wenyang.
Si Haoran ate a small piece of cake and said to Liu Wenyang, "The cake tastes good."
The reason why the brothers were able to become friends with the Liu brothers was not only because Si Jingran and Liu Wenyang got along well, but also because they shared a common hobby: food.
Upon hearing this, Liu Wenyang picked up a piece of cake, took a bite, and said, "It's not bad."
Liu Wenyang had already greeted everyone he needed to and didn't want to socialize anymore, so he and Si Haoran hid in a corner to eat and watch the show.
Both of them had excellent eyesight and spotted a waiter putting drugs into a glass of red wine.
The two exchanged a glance, both of them eager to see what would happen next.
Classic TV drama scenes flashed through their minds.
Their eyes followed the waiter as he carried the tray to Zhang Haiyao's side.
Zhang Haiyao placed the empty wine glass into the waiter's tray and then took the wine glass containing red wine from the tray.
Si Haoran: "Who do you think bribed the waiter?"
Liu Wenyang didn't want to answer such an obvious question.
Just as Zhang Haiyao was about to drink the glass of wine, Liu Wenyang said, "It's your turn to step in."
Si Haoran: "Why not you?"
Because he wasn't as righteous and passionate as Si Haoran, and because he didn't know Zhang Haiyao.
Si Haoran complained, but he quickly came to Zhang Haiyao's side and stopped Zhang Haiyao from drinking the glass of wine.
Zhang Haiyao immediately went to the hotel manager, handed over the red wine to the manager, and had the manager catch the waiter who had drugged the wine.
The waiter confessed immediately after being arrested: Yu Mingruo gave him money to drug Zhang Haiyao's drink. It wasn't poison, but an aphrodisiac. Yu Mingruo wanted to force herself on Zhang Haiyao.
Si Haoran and Liu Wenyang were amazed. Yu Mingruo was such a daring woman!
This isn't even the most explosive news.
Yu Mingruo was taken home by his father, and Zhang Haiyao, as the aggrieved party, naturally went to the Yu family to demand an explanation.
A major battle broke out in the Yu family.
Liu Wenyang and Liu Dong, both cultivators, have extremely sharp senses, oh, and so does Si Jingran.
The three of them listened to the whole thing and were at a loss for words.
Why do you think Yu's father treats Zhang Haiyao so well? He supports Zhang Haiyao even more than his own son, Yu Mingfeng?
Because Zhang Haiyao is Yu's father's illegitimate son.
Yu's father married Yu Mingfeng's biological mother in an arranged marriage, betraying his girlfriend of two years.
Heartbroken, Yu's father's girlfriend remarried, but she was actually pregnant with Yu's father's child, Zhang Haiyao.
Zhang Haiyao and Yu Mingfeng were roommates and close friends in college, and Zhang was invited to Yu's house.
Yu's father thus learned that Zhang Haiyao was his son.
Yu's father felt very guilty towards Zhang Haiyao and wanted to make it up to him.
After Zhang Haiyao joined the company, Yu's father focused on cultivating him and giving him opportunities.
He was thinking of making Zhang Haiyao the president of the branch company in the future, and then giving Zhang Haiyao some shares of the company.
After all, Yu Mingfeng was the successor he had carefully groomed, and Yu's father had never thought of replacing him and handing the company over to his illegitimate son.
But Yu Mingfeng's performance disappointed his father.
Yu Mingfeng's abilities were inferior to Zhang Haiyao's, and he even left home for a woman. Yu's father was extremely disappointed in him and thus had the idea of changing the heir.
Yu's father never expected that Yu Mingruo would like Zhang Haiyao, and even resorted to drugging Zhang Haiyao.
Fortunately, it didn't succeed, otherwise it would have been a case of siblings having sex indiscriminately.
If Yu Mingruo is taken home, he declares that he will marry no one but Zhang Haiyao.
Yu Mingruo: "If you admire Zhang Haiyao so much, why are you stopping me? Wouldn't it be better to have him as your son-in-law? He'll be a member of the Yu family and will be able to manage the company better!"
What could Yu's father say?
He insisted on disagreeing, but later Mrs. Yu guessed the truth and questioned Mr. Yu: "Is Zhang Hairuo your son?"
Madam Yu is also capable and very intelligent.
He knew that Yu's father had a girlfriend before the marriage.
However, Mrs. Yu liked Mr. Yu and, relying on her family background, successfully ousted Mr. Yu's girlfriend and became his wife.
Mr. Yu knew who Zhang Haiyao's biological mother was, and Mrs. Yu naturally knew as well.
She simply didn't know that Zhang Haiyao was Yu's father's child.
But seeing that Mr. Yu was firmly against Zhang Haiyao being with Yu Mingruo, what else could Mrs. Yu not understand?
Thinking about how her son was kicked out of the Yu family by Mr. Yu—"Your son ran away from home on his own, and you also opposed your son being with his current girlfriend"—Mrs. Yu believed that this was Mr. Yu's scheme to make room for his illegitimate son.
Madam Yu erupted, revealing Zhang Haiyao's true identity.
Zhang Haiyao and Yu Mingruo were dumbfounded; neither of them could accept it.
The more Yu Mingruo liked Zhang Haiyao before, the more she now loathes him.
She didn't want another illegitimate child to divide up the Yu family's assets.
Zhang Haiyao couldn't accept that he was an illegitimate child, so he ran away.
Madam Yu fiercely attacked Yu's father.
After realizing what was happening, Yu's father retaliated, and the two men got into a physical fight at home, both sustaining injuries and being taken to the hospital. (End of Chapter)
