Chapter 450 Past Life
After that, Xiao Lingyu stayed by Gong Tianhao’s side. She saw him help her younger brother cut through all the trouble in his way.
As Xiao Lingyu expected, when Zhao Huiqing and Chen Ran found out Xiao Lingye was the one who had been attacking them, their eyes widened in shock and disbelief.
The little boy who followed behind him in the past, calling Brother Ran, had grown up to be so powerful.
Xiao Lingye had received news from his subordinates that there was another group of people who wanted to buy Huiqing Group However, there was no progress after that.
However, he was happy because he could take revenge with his own two hands. He followed his plan and dealt with them step by step.
He exposed the scandals of the Zhao family one by one.
First, Zhao Huiqing’s mistress came to the Zhao Family with her son to visit. When Zhao Huiqing allowed his son to stay at home, his wife was so angry that she fainted, but he didn’t care.
After all, the Zhao Family had a big business. Even though he had a son-in-law, he’d rather his son inherit it.
The media reported this matter wantonly.
Once the scandal was exposed, it immediately caused a stir in Huiqing Group’s stock market.
After that, Zhao Wenman was exposed to keeping a gigolo from a nightclub.
When Zhao Wenman found out that her father had an illegitimate son and her father was grooming him to be his successor, Zhao Wenman was furious. Originally, as the only daughter, Zhao Wenman was going to have everything. However, now a bastard child came to snatch everything from her. How could she accept this?
Therefore, when her three-year-old younger brother was walking down the stairs, she pushed him. He didn’t di,e but when he fell, his one eye was crushed into the edge of the staircase. He became one-eye blinded.
This was an attempted murder, but Zhao Huiqing covered it up for his face and his daughter.
Naturally, the boy’s mother was not satisfied. She went to the police directly. Then, the media found out, and the thing blew up. With the media pressure and the pressure from above, as well as concrete evidence, the police had to arrest Zhao Wenman.
With this, the already swaying Huiqing Group collapsed. Within a day, the stock price dipped to its lowest.
Zhao Huiqing and Chen Ran were so busy saving the company that they were overwhelmed. They tried their best to find a bank loan or an investor, but there was no response.
Zhao Huiqing was so angry that he kept smashing things. The furniture crashed into Chen Ran, and his body bruised and bled. However, Chen Ran did not dare to say a word.
He had gotten used to it over the past seven years. Ever since he married Zhao Wenman, he had been living like this.
As long as this father-in-law was unhappy, he would take it out on him.
At first, Zhao Wenman, who was his wife, would protect him a little. However, as time passed, she began to feel bored. Gradually, she also got tired of this man who she had tried so hard to get in the past. The saying was true. You always want the things you can’t have.
In the past, she really liked Chen Ran, this handsome and ambitious man. However, what really got her going was this man had a girlfriend of ten years. All the women in the company envied his girlfriend. Zhao Wenman adored the challenge. So she kept seducing him. From the initial rejection to the later acceptance, Zhao Wenman found it very interesting. During this period of time, she did fall in love with Chen Ran. It was why she used the trick to frame Xiao Lingyu to protect Chen Ran’s reputation.
However, due to their unequal status, there was always a certain gap between them. Zhao Huiqing also looked down on this son-in-law, who came from the countryside.
Zhao Wenman became extremely impatient when dealing with these two men’s conflicts. As time passed, her interest in Chen Ran waned.
During a cocktail party, she saw the most honorable man in City Z, Yan Siming.
She was mesmerized by his beauty. She put on her best dress to try to seduce him, but she was ignored. She tried to get close to him until she was barred from coming close to within 10 meters of Yan Siming. If she did, she would be thrown out by Yan Siming’s bodyguards. This became a joke in the upper-class circle of City Z. Of course they laughed at the husband, Chen Ran too.
His wife openly tried to seduce another man, yet he still didn’t do anything. What a useless man.
Zhao Wenman’s action made the Zhao Family lose face. She became a laughingstock. Zhao Huiqing was so angry that he scolded his daughter again. He even scolded his son-in-law and ordered him to control his wife.
Chen Ran was so angry that he almost hit someone. Zhao Huiqing had raised his daughter for decades, and he still couldn’t control her, so what could he do? Plus, Chen Ran was not allowed to scold or hit Zhao Wenman, so how was he supposed to control her?
Chen Ran was extremely aggrieved. But he couldn’t say anything to counter. He could only endure it.
Once he got home, Chen Ran became Zhao Wenman’s punching bag again. She called him a weakling, a useless thing.
She said that if it weren’t for her, he wouldn’t have become the general manager of Huiqing Group. In short, she insulted him like there was no tomorrow.
As angry as Chen Ran was, he could only coax his wife until she became tired. After Zhao Wenman’s fire went out and she went to bed, Chen Ran went out to smoke on the balcony. He looked annoyed and regretful.
If he had not been seduced by Zhao Wenman, if he had married Xiao Lingyu, the two of them would definitely be able to live a comfortable life.
But life had no regret.
Zhao Wenman woke up in the middle of the night and walked out to the balcony. When she saw the regret on Chen Ran’s face, her anger flared up again. She immediately questioned angrily, “You’re thinking of that bitch again, aren’t you? Do you regret it?” “No!” Chen Ran answered weakly and helplessly.
It would have been fine if he kept silent because this only gave Zhao Wenman more ammo.
“No? Then what is that remorse on your face?
“Let me tell you. It’s useless even if you regret it now. You made your own choice back then. No one put a knife to your neck. “That bitch…”
Then, everything was the same. Zhao Wenman beat and scolded him. She only stopped when she was tired. This had been happening for the past few years.
Even so, Chen Ran did not have the courage to ask for a divorce. Because once he did, he would no longer be the general manager of the Huiqing Group. He would lose his footing in the business world. If he got a divorce, he would end up with nothing. No one would dare to hire him after he was fired lest they offend the Huiqing Group.
Now that Zhao Wenman had ben arrested, the company’s stock quickly fell. Chen Ran did not care at all about his wife, but he was extremely concerned about the fluctuation of the stock.
In his heart, he had a sense of anger. He always thought that Huiqing Group would be his in the future. Naturally, he was more concerned about it than any other party.
After Zhao Huiqing vented his anger on Chen Ran, he calmed down. He thought for a moment and ordered, “Go and ask around. Is there anyone who is specifically against our Huiqing Group?” After all, the current Huiqing Group was already one of the largest companies. It had power and connections.
However, when he tried to search for help, all his connections avoided him. Zhao Huiqing thus knew that something was up.
However, in the entire Z business world, the only people who had the ability to challenge Huiqing Group were the Yan Corporation, or rather, Yan Siming.
Would Yan Siming take revenge on Huiqing Group due to Zhao Wenman’s harassment?
Zhao Huiqing wouldn’t put that past Yan Siming.
However, he also knew that no matter how powerful Yan Siming was, he couldn’t cause such a big earthquake to Huiqing Group so easily and so quickly. Zhao Huiqing was uncertain and confused.
