Chapter 129 Xia Family Bankruptcy, Strange Reasons
Chu Xiyan suddenly thought of the Xia family, which went bankrupt in one day.
The Xia family ranks 4th in the capital.
But for some unknown reason, the Xia family unexpectedly went bankrupt.
This bizarre incident caused a lot of speculation among the upper class circles in the capital.
Everyone agreed that the Xia family had offended a big boss who should not be provoked.
Chu Xiyan remembered that Xia Wanwan, the eldest daughter of the Xia family, was the school belle of the sports school next door to Yahua High School. She had sent a love letter to Cheng Ye to express her love for her, but was rejected by Cheng Ye on the spot.
Although her relationship with Xia Wanwan was not very deep, they would chat and go shopping together on a regular basis.
She knew very well that even if Xia Wanwan didn't express it directly, she was secretly confessing her feelings to Cheng Ye by handing him a love letter behind her back.
Xia Wanwan confessed her love to Cheng Ye and sent him a love letter. It was Xia Wanwan’s best friend who secretly told Chu Xiyan.
So Chu Xiyan also learned from Xia Wanwan’s best friend that Xia Wanwan had sent a group of men one day to tarnish Jiang Mian’s innocence.
Not only did it fail, but those men were beaten up by Jiang Mian himself, and the Xia family quickly went bankrupt after a simple phone call from Jiang Mian.
At that time, Xia Wanwan's best friend secretly told her these things, but Chu Xiyan didn't believe it at all.
She always felt that there was some hidden story behind the Xia family's bizarre bankruptcy. However, now that she thought about it, maybe Xia Wanwan's best friend was not joking with her.
Chu Xiyan suddenly realized that if these were all true, then she must go find Xia Wanwan and sort this matter out face to face.
Then let Xia Wanwan expose Jiang Mian personally and let Cheng Ye know Jiang Mian's true face.
Chu Xiyan's eyes were determined. Jiang Mian must be hiding some secret from Cheng Ye, and this secret might very well lead to the breakdown of the relationship between Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian.
Correct.
That's right.
As long as she exposes Jiang Mian's true face and makes Cheng Ye understand that Jiang Mian is two-faced and has deceived Cheng Ye's true heart, then their breakup will be just around the corner!
Chu Xiyan couldn't wait to return to the Chu family and inquire in detail about the Xia family's bankruptcy.
She didn't care about Cheng Fenghao who was still lying unconscious on the beach, and hurriedly called a driver to drive back to Beijing.
As soon as Chu Xiyan entered the Chu family villa, she saw her parents and grandfather sitting on the sofa in the living room with serious expressions.
She couldn't help but ask, "Mom, Dad, Grandpa, what happened to you?"
Father Chu shook his head nonchalantly, "Nothing, just some trouble in business."
Chu Xiyan was stunned, "What trouble?"
"We signed a timber supply contract with the Jiang family and were required to complete the timber supply by the end of this week. However, my assistant told me today that the management abused their power for personal gain and cut corners on the timber. In addition, due to improper storage, some of the timber was damaged and moldy."
"In short, it is difficult for us to complete this large order with guaranteed quality and quantity before the end of this week."
Chu's father, mother, and old man Chu all looked anxious.
"If we fail to complete the order in time, we will face compensation of three times the order amount, and the loss will be as high as 60 million." Mr. Chu touched his beard with a heavy heart, "What we are most worried about is not the compensation. What if the Jiang family blames us for this, what should we do then?"
Chu's father and mother looked at each other, but could not find a suitable solution.
"Mom and Dad, have you contacted the Jiang family?" Chu Xiyan pursed her lips and asked with complicated eyes.
Father Chu shook his head helplessly, "No. I haven't even seen the eldest son of the Jiang family who is the president, let alone the daughter of the Jiang family."
"The Jiang family's business has expanded overseas, and the domestic business has always been handled by a dedicated agent. It is also the agent who usually signs contracts with us."
Chu Xiyan didn't know why, but she inexplicably thought of Jiang Mian.
Could Jiang Mian be the eldest daughter of the Jiang family?
No, it's impossible.
Chu Xiyan immediately denied her absurd idea.
She had already investigated and found out that Jiang Mian and Cheng Ye grew up in the same orphanage. She was an orphan without a father or a mother. How could she be the daughter of the Jiang family?
Besides, the daughter of the Jiang family has been gifted since childhood. After she passed the college entrance examination at the age of seven, she did not choose to stay in China to study, but went to study abroad with her parents.
As for what university he was studying and what major he was studying, Chu Xiyan had no idea.
Anyway, she knew very well that it was impossible for the daughter of the Jiang family, who had already taken the college entrance examination, to return to Yahua High School to study in her senior year.
However, Chu Xiyan still had a lot of doubts. Why didn't the director of the orphanage have a real impression of Jiang Mian? !
The dean only talked about Cheng Ye's past. When Chu Xiyan asked about Jiang Mian's past, the dean could not answer.
The more Chu Xiyan thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, but she couldn't find out exactly what was wrong.
Chu Xiyan sat on the sofa. "Mom, Dad, Grandpa, we sincerely apologize to the Jiang family's agent and pay the penalty for breach of contract in full. This shouldn't offend the Jiang family, right?"
Chu's father and others lost their confidence.
They couldn't guarantee that they could get through this smoothly.
"My daughter, why are you back? Didn't you go to Hai City for fun?" Mother Chu suddenly looked at Chu Xiyan and asked puzzledly.
"I've almost had enough fun, so I came back early." Chu Xiyan's throat was choked, and she felt indescribable distress.
The old man of the Chu family saw through Chu Xiyan's thoughts, "Xiyan, did you go to look for Xiaoye? Xiaoye and Jiang Mian went on a date at the beach."
Chu Xiyan suddenly felt embarrassed. "Yes, yes. But I just watched him from a distance and didn't go over to disturb him and Jiang Mian."
When she heard Cheng Ye, Mother Chu's eyes flashed with admiration, "Xiao Ye is quite good. Is there any young man in Beijing who can do what Xiao Ye did, excel in academics at the age of 18, become a big internet celebrity, and even set up an entertainment company?!"
Father Chu noticed Chu Xiyan's embarrassment, and he couldn't help but feel melancholy, "Xiyan, don't be anxious, take your time. After all, Jiang Mian is just an orphan with no power, you still have enough advantages."
"We all hope that you and Xiaoye can have a normal marriage. After all, the one that the Cheng and Chu families arranged to be married was Cheng Ye, not Feng Hao."
The old man of the Chu family snorted, "Feng Hao is not honest enough. He is thinking about other things while he has what he has. He has already started thinking about other girls before the marriage."
"If he really becomes your husband, he might cuckold you in the future."
"What's more, he's so weak and cries all the time. He needs you to stand up and protect him. Where is the demeanor and aura that a real man should have?"
"Xiyan, don't be too anxious. Even if Xiaoye doesn't marry you, it doesn't matter. As the daughter of our Chu family, she won't ignore your feelings for the sake of marriage benefits."
"When it comes to love and marriage, we won't force you into marriage."
Chu Xiyan was touched. She had a father, a mother, and a grandfather who loved her.
In contrast, Chu Xiyan suddenly couldn't understand why the Cheng family had unconditionally favored Cheng Fenghao? It was obvious that Cheng Ye was their biological blood.
Chu Xiyan's thoughts flew far away, and she suddenly remembered the original purpose of returning to the Chu family.
She sorted out her chaotic thoughts and urgently asked the question she wanted to verify, "Mom, Dad, Grandpa, how did the Xia family go bankrupt?"
Hearing this, Father Chu's expression turned serious. "The mastermind behind the bankruptcy of the Xia family, the fourth largest family in Beijing, within a day is definitely not someone we can mess with. Xiyan, we should not ask some questions so clearly, so as to avoid unexpected disasters."
"Besides, even if you asked, we don't know clearly." Father Chu sighed slightly, "We used to have a lot of business dealings with the Xia family, but we didn't expect that the Xia family suddenly encountered this accident, which caused many cooperation chains to be abruptly cut off."
Chu Xiyan was anxious, "Do you know where Xia Wanwan lives? She hasn't sent me a message for a long time, asking me to meet her offline for shopping."
Chu's father and others all shook their heads.
"Ever since the Xia family got into trouble, most of the wealthy families are afraid of being implicated by the Xia family and are not actively looking for cooperation with the Xia family. The Xia family is bankrupt, so why would they cooperate?"
"We haven't paid attention to the latest developments of the Xia family."
Chu Xiyan frowned. It seemed that her parents and grandfather were not aware of this.
But no matter what, she has to find Xia Wanwan so that she can expose Jiang Mian's true face in public.
She simply called the housekeeper to investigate. Fifteen minutes later, the housekeeper learned that all the Xia family members had gone abroad.
Chu Xiyan was extremely annoyed. "Can you see if you can contact them? I sent a message and called Xia Wanwan, but she didn't reply at all."
The housekeeper went out to investigate again.
Chu's father and others didn't quite understand Chu Xiyan's actions.
Seeing their puzzled expressions, Chu Xiyan explained first: "I suspect that the bankruptcy of the Xia family is related to Jiang Mian. Xia Wanwan is very likely an eyewitness."
Chu's father and others were horrified.
Old Master Chu straightened his expression. This sounded outrageous and ridiculous.
How could Jiang Mian have the ability to make the Xia family bankrupt overnight?
Father Chu felt that his daughter might have suffered a blow from Cheng Ye, which caused her to speak without thinking.
"Xiyan, winning over Cheng Ye is one thing, and preparing for the college entrance examination is another. In terms of study, you still need to catch up with Cheng Ye. Don't lose sight of the big picture and forget your study tasks."
Chu Xiyan came back to her senses and nodded, "Mom, Dad, Grandpa, I won't slack off in my studies."
The first semester of senior year is almost over, and after another winter vacation, it will be the college entrance examination next year.
Although the Chu family can provide her with a worry-free life, she still needs to be strong herself and improve her own value to have more possibilities in the future.
-
mirage.
When Cheng Fenghao woke up, it was already 4:30 in the morning.
At this time, almost all the travelers either returned to their tents to sleep or went to nearby inns or hotels to rest.
It was pitch black around him, and he didn't see anyone moving.
Cheng Fenghao stood up grimly. He hadn't realized that a long time had passed. He thought he had only been lying there for two or three hours.
He instinctively raised his head, put his hands in his pockets, turned around, and looked towards where Chu Xiyan was with a sad expression.
Cheng Fenghao turned on the flashlight on his phone, but was surprised to find that Chu Xiyan was not there!
what happened!
Cheng Fenghao closed his eyes and suddenly felt extremely heartbroken.
Two lines of hot tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
Cheng Fenghao quickly took a few photos of himself from very good angles.
Fortunately, his mobile phone has a good pixel, so even in the dark night, he can clearly capture the youthful and sad photo of him standing in the pitch-dark night with his back to the sea.
He added everyone from the Cheng and Chu families, as well as the rich young men and rich young ladies from the upper class circles, on his phone.
Cheng Fenghao confidently added the nine photos he had taken, and then edited the text——
[Missing her hurts. I think if it weren’t for her, I would never have married another woman in my life.]
Anyone who sees these photos and texts full of the pain of youth will feel pity and sigh at how deeply he loves Xiyan, right?
Touching! So infatuated!
He didn't explicitly mention Xiyan's name, but his friends in his circle of friends were all smart, so how could they not know the hidden meaning of his expression? Was he saying it deliberately to Xiyan?
Cheng Fenghao posted another short video of himself crying bitterly, which happened to show the red and swollen wounds on his face, and the accompanying text was -
【Blindly tolerating will not earn him respect. It doesn't matter, he only hurts my body but can't destroy my will.
I fell down, stood up, fell down again, and stood up again, once, twice, three times...
There is nothing wrong with loving someone! It is this world that is wrong!!】
Cheng Fenghao wanted to send it to Weibo and Shark accounts, but suddenly remembered that his two platform accounts had been banned for violating laws and regulations! !
He was furious and blamed Cheng Ye for blocking his path to the entertainment industry. Otherwise, he would have had many loyal female fans.
Cheng Fenghao subconsciously searched for Cheng Ye’s account and clicked on it.
The moment he saw the number of fans, his eyes suddenly widened in surprise.
Cheng Ye’s Weibo followers have reached 70 million, and Shark’s followers are around 71 million.
He was very unhappy. Why does Cheng Ye have so many fans? !
Are these people blind? They are fans of Cheng Ye?!
Cheng Fenghao was extremely angry.
He had to ask Si Jin if there was any way to force Cheng Ye to quit the Internet?
He could only watch Cheng Ye become a big star, his eyes were red with jealousy!!
Cheng Ye is too arrogant! Do you really think he doesn't dare to ban it?
Cheng Fenghao quickly called Si Jin.
Cheng Fenghao finished his request in a very fast tone. In return, Si Jin sneered, "Have you completed the task of breaking up Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian?"
He was speechless for a long time, then he said weakly: "Si Jin, I was beaten up by Cheng Ye tonight in order to promote the relationship between Xi Yan and Cheng Ye."
"Oh, what's the use?" Si Jin said coldly, "Why don't you just be direct and find a scapegoat to create an accidental car accident, then perform anesthesia for the operation, and induce the Cheng family to sign a donation form, thus turning the illegal killing into a reasonable normal operation."
Cheng Fenghao was shocked. Just as he expected, he was under Si Jin's surveillance all the time.
He had wanted to create an accidental car accident a long time ago, but because Cheng Ye became a big star, there were always reporters from major media outlets squatting nearby, which hindered the implementation of his murder plan.
The Cheng family is powerful, and he uses his resources and connections to get things done very easily.
But after all, this is a society ruled by law, and one cannot be too blatant. If one really wants to do something illegal, one has to find a way to create the illusion of an accident.
Cheng Fenghao didn't like the feeling of being monitored by Si Jin, but since they still had a cooperative relationship, he could only choose to tolerate her temporarily.
"Si Jin, don't you need me to break up Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian? Just implement a simple and crude murder plan?" Cheng Fenghao asked.
"You don't have the ability to break them up. First of all, Jiang Mian's personality makes it impossible for her to like you. Secondly, Cheng Ye's personality makes it impossible for him to like Chu Xiyan."
"They have a high level of trust in each other. Misunderstandings like Jiang Mian misunderstanding that Cheng Ye likes Chu Xiyan, or Cheng Ye misunderstanding that Jiang Mian likes me or you, are impossible to be true."
Si Jin's voice was cold, "You should spend more time thinking about how to kill Cheng Ye. Other than that, you need to win the favor of Cheng and Chu's families and keep them on their side, so as not to be kicked out of the Cheng family and have no place to live."
Cheng Fenghao felt extremely uncomfortable. What did he mean by "Jiang Mian simply couldn't like him?"
He is not convinced! !
