Chapter 104 Xu Youwei's Burning Fury
Thinking about all this, Xu Youwei decided that once the turmoil in the Xu family was over, he would definitely teach his second brother a lesson in secret.
He didn't intend to do it openly, partly because of what happened at the family reunion banquet. At that time, he was actually resentful that Xu Pingtao and Gu Jinxing didn't give the Xu family any face. For the sake of an inland girl, they didn't show any mercy to the Xu family.
So when he got back that night, Xu Youwei only said a few words to Xu Zi and let the matter drop.
Xu Youwei never expected that the Gu family would actually terminate the cooperation between the Gu and Xu families.
In the end, a small portion of the cooperation was terminated. Xu Youwei just assumed that Gu Jinxing was young and impetuous, and that he had made his words, so he had to terminate some cooperation on the surface. He was sure that it would be restored soon.
This is also why the Xu family had those goods piled up at the port and couldn't find a small company to transport them out at a low price for the time being.
Now that he has let the matter drop, it would be unreasonable for him to blame Xu Zi now.
Furthermore, Xu Zi is his niece, not his biological daughter, so he can't really discipline her.
Therefore, Xu Youwei only wanted to teach Xu Zi's father a lesson after the matter was resolved, implying that he should educate his daughter properly.
However, things did not develop in the way Xu Youwei had predicted.
Logically speaking, even if the watch factory under Xu's name ran into problems and its stock price plummeted, it would still be a lucrative target for many people.
Since the Xu family has made it clear that they are putting the watch factory out there, there should be people vying to acquire it immediately.
But Xu Youwei waited until the afternoon of the next day and still didn't see a single buyer with any real strength. All that appeared were small fry offering a few million, who weren't even qualified to see Xu Youwei.
Xu Youwei sent people to inquire, but they couldn't find out anything.
The old man of the Xu family is still alive. After learning about the turmoil in the Xu family in the afternoon, he called Xu Youwei and asked him to come back to the Xu mansion for dinner.
Xu Youwei also wanted to ask his father for advice, so he agreed to go back.
When Xu Youwei arrived home and entered the living room, he happened to hear Xu Zi talking to her family.
Xu Zi's tone was sarcastic and tinged with bitterness.
"I think Gu Jinxing is not only lame in the leg, but also in the brain. He can even marry a country bumpkin fox."
"Just watch, Shen Wancheng will be able to hook up with Gu Jinxing in just one or two months in Hong Kong. She must be a restless person. Gu Jinxing will be cheated on in the future, and then he will realize that he has never been blind."
Xu Youwei's wife was also in the living room, and she said with some doubt.
"Gu Jinxing's conditions are quite good, Shen Wancheng can't be that bold, can she?"
"Why not? Aunt, you don't know, the reason Xu Pingtao publicly acknowledged Shen Wancheng was because Shen Wancheng, Xu Pingtao, and Gu Jinxing were caught on camera being intimate. A threesome is a huge scandal, so Xu Pingtao publicly said that Shen Wancheng was his granddaughter. Who knows what kind of relationship they have behind the scenes?"
"this...."
Mrs. Xu found it hard to believe.
She felt that Xu Zi's words were definitely exaggerated, but there's no smoke without fire, so Xu Zi's statement must have some basis.
So she felt it was a bit difficult to evaluate.
"Does your aunt find it disgusting? I certainly do. Just watch, Shen Wancheng will definitely be ostracized by all the ladies in the circle. Let's see if she can still smile then."
Xu Youwei, who was already suppressing his anger, could no longer contain it upon hearing these words.
"Hmph, you care about whether others can laugh or not? You should worry about yourself first."
Xu Youwei's wife, Xu Zi, and Xu Zi's mother were all startled by Xu Youwei's angry voice and stood up from their seats.
Xu Zi noticed that Xu Youwei was staring at her with a furious expression, so she shrank back and hid behind her mother.
Mrs. Xu was trying to say something to ease the tension.
"Youwei, why did you come so early today?"
Xu Youwei glared angrily at Xu Zi.
Mrs. Xu thought that Xu Zi was the only girl in the Xu family, and everyone spoiled and pampered her, including Xu Youwei. So how much could Xu Youwei be proud to have Xu Zi? It was just a show of bravado.
So Mrs. Xu said again, "Just tell Xu Zi what she did wrong, don't get angry."
At this moment, Xu Zi, being pulled by her mother, called out softly, "Uncle."
Xu Youwei's anger did not diminish.
"Don't call me uncle, I don't deserve it. I practically worship Mr. Gu now, but in your mouth he's just a cripple and a blind man you look down on. Who would dare to be your uncle?"
"You're still laughing at Shen Wancheng? Get out of the Xu family now and see who will still take you seriously."
"Even if Shen Wancheng is no good, she can still get close to Gu Jinxing. What about you? Besides being a good-for-nothing, what else can you do?"
Xu Youwei is unaware that Shen Wancheng was the instigator of the Xu family turmoil, which is why he said that even if Shen Wancheng is not good enough, she can at least get close to Gu Jinxing.
A few days later, Xu Youwei learned that a watch factory had been acquired by Shen Wancheng for 15 million, and that the whole thing was part of Shen Wancheng's plan. He felt that Xu Zi was a good-for-nothing and wanted to beat her up again to vent his anger.
In fact, these rich young men and women have the weakest sense of self-esteem. Most of them are unwilling to be called good-for-nothings. They will disguise their daily eating, drinking and entertainment, and their spending and comparisons as social interactions to strengthen family relationships, in the name of enhancing family affection.
Therefore, as the head of the Xu family, his insult of calling Xu Zi a "good-for-nothing" struck Xu Zi's heart directly, shattering her pitiful self-esteem.
Xu Zi was filled with anger, hatred, and indignation.
Her uncle actually called her a good-for-nothing! He even said she was inferior to that slut Shen Wancheng!
Xu Zi was so angry that she trembled all over and bit her lower lip until it bled.
She dared not and could not do anything to her uncle, but she was determined to teach Shen Wancheng a lesson.
Let Shen Wancheng, that country bumpkin from the mainland, lose face and get out of Hong Kong.
When Xu Youwei saw Xu Zi's expression, he knew that she still didn't realize her mistake.
Xu Youwei continued.
“The Xu family doesn’t keep good-for-nothings. If you don’t understand your role and responsibilities, get out of the Xu family.”
Xu Zi's mother wanted to speak up for Xu Zi.
"Big brother..."
Xu Youwei interrupted him directly, "Shut up! I'll settle accounts with the second son later! I'll ask him what his intentions were in raising such a daughter who has ruined the Xu family."
Xu Zi's mother's lips trembled for a long time before she could say anything more.
Xu Zi lowered her head, tears smearing her delicate makeup, making her face look miserable and ugly.
She suppressed her sobs.
Xu Youwei shouted loudly,
"Xu Zi! Speak up, do you know what you should do?"
Xu Zi's body trembled.
She didn't know what had happened, but from Xu Youwei's words, she could tell that she was being reprimanded by Xu Youwei because of Gu Jinxing and Shen Wancheng.
Xu Zi clenched her fists, suppressing her inner resentment as she spoke.
"I see."
Xu Youwei pursued relentlessly.
"Know what?"
Xu Zi closed her eyes and almost shouted what she said.
"I will never scold Shen Wancheng again. Next time I see Shen Wancheng and Mr. Gu, I will take the initiative to apologize for what happened last time and try to get to know Shen Wancheng better."
"Hmph, you'd better keep that in mind."
Neither Xu Zi nor Xu Youwei considered that if Shen Wancheng found out about Xu Zi's rumors and apologized, would Shen Wancheng necessarily accept them?
