Chapter 319: If You Dare, Hit Me

Chapter 319: Chapter 319: If You Dare, Hit Me

Surrounded by the mutterings and whispers of the crowd, Ding Lijuan became enraged with embarrassment.

"I’m talking to my daughter, what gives you the right to butt in, you son-in-law who came in through the door!"

"You good-for-nothing pretty boy, if our family hadn’t given you money, you and your sickly mother would have died who knows where by now!"

"What now, you’ve got some money in your hands thanks to our family, and your feathers have grown stiff? You dare to stand up to me?"

"Let me tell you, no matter when, you are nothing but a dog raised by our family!!"

Unable to win the argument with reason, Ding Lijuan resorted to personal attacks on Chen Xuan.

The crowd understood even more that President Han’s mother was nothing more than a shrewish troublemaker.

However, it was the first time for them to know that this man, who had forced Wu Donglai and other executives to resign purely through forceful means, was actually President Han’s son-in-law.

Han Jingting couldn’t stand it anymore, "Mom, what are you saying! Don’t talk about Chen Xuan like that!"

"What’s wrong with what I said about him! It’s all his behind-the-scenes scheming that has turned our family into this mess!"

"All day long you only know how to speak for outsiders, are you even my daughter?!"

Han Jingting felt helpless, "Mom, I’m just trying to reason with you. What does this have to do with whether I’m your daughter or not!"

"Chen Xuan has been willing to work hard for our family; he hasn’t let you cook a meal or wash a piece of clothing for years. He’s taken care of all the household chores."

"He has given so much for our family, and yet you speak of him that way. Don’t you think you are being too harsh!"

Ding Lijuan’s eyes widened with fury, "I’m too harsh? I’m too harsh?"

As she spoke, Ding Lijuan’s face collapsed and she fell to the ground with a plop.

"Oh heavens, come look everyone, this is the Chairman of Jiaren Corporation!"

"My own daughter and son-in-law are ganging up against me, their mother!"

"Heartless! Wuu wuu wuu..."

Unable to win with reason or in arguments, Ding Lijuan directly resorted to her best skill at making a scene, sitting on the ground and starting to wail and create a commotion.

The employees gathered increasingly at the door, and even many passersby stopped to watch the commotion. Some even started recording short videos, preparing to post them online.

Han Jingting felt both anxious and furious.

Jiaren Corporation was a publicly listed company, and this kind of scandal would greatly affect the corporation’s image.

If it got serious, it might even affect the stock price of Jiaren Corporation!

Han Jingting had just taken over Jiaren Corporation; how could it withstand such a shock!

"Mom, can you please stop making a scene, what on earth do you want?!"

Ding Lijuan, who had made such a scene, found it difficult to speak up and so she made a meaningful glance towards Han Bowwen.

Han Bowwen had not wanted to show up in such an embarrassing scene, but seeing the threatening look in Ding Lijuan’s eyes, he had no choice but to step forward.

"Dad, you came too?" Han Jingting was surprised.

She had thought her dad, Han Bowwen, would understand her better than her mom, but never expected him to join in as well.

Han Bowwen looked embarrassed.

Truthfully, he didn’t want to engage in such nonsense with his daughter.

But since things had escalated to this point, he couldn’t simply bring an end to it.

The key point was, having made such a scene, if they didn’t achieve anything, wouldn’t all their efforts have been in vain?

"Well, Jingting, actually your mom didn’t mean anything else, she just wanted to ask you for some money to spend..."

Han Jingting was astonished. "Didn’t I just give you two thousand yuan yesterday?"

Ding Lijuan immediately became displeased, "You even have the nerve to mention it, what can you do with twenty thousand yuan nowadays? You can’t even buy a good piece of clothing, you’re treating us like beggars!"

Han Jingting felt a wave of discomfort in her heart.

Originally, she had only a little over thirty thousand yuan left, and she had chosen to give twenty thousand to her parents. Yet, she never imagined they would say such things!

Han Bowwen cleared his throat twice, saying awkwardly, "Jingting, actually what your mom means is, now that you’ve made some money, could you... maybe pay us back the twenty million from before..."

Compared to Ding Lijuan, Han Bowwen still cared somewhat about saving face; he felt ashamed as he said it and unconsciously lowered his head.

However, as shameful as it was, his greed for gambling money was something he couldn’t hide.

Han Jingting was utterly disappointed.

She never expected that even her dad would join forces with the others in trying to extract money from her.

"I used all my money to acquire Jiaren Corporation, I don’t have any money now!"

Ding Lijuan scoffed, "You, the chairman of a publicly-listed company, claiming to have no money—who would believe that?"

"You can’t even come up with twenty million, what kind of company are you running? What would your employees think?"

As she spoke, Ding Lijuan shouted to the surrounding employees, "You all see, right? Your boss doesn’t even have twenty million."

"Why are you still rushing to her side? I think this company is about to go under, you’d better start looking out for yourselves!"

"Disband! Everyone disband!"

Ding Lijuan’s words indeed had a powerful impact.

Upon hearing Ding Lijuan say this, the employees also began to murmur amongst themselves.

Could their boss really be out of money? If that was truly the case, did they also need to start looking for other options?

Hearing Ding Lijuan spout these morale-disrupting words, Han Jingting felt so anxious that tears were about to fall.

She had just managed to steady the morale over the past few days and put the company back on track, only for her mother to sabotage her like this!

Chen Xuan was also furious, "Mom, you are Jingting’s mother, can’t you understand her difficulties at all?"

"Do you even know how much effort she has put into this company? Do you realize that if you keep making a scene like this, not only will you not get the twenty million, but Jingting might even truly go bankrupt?"

But Ding Lijuan waved her hand dismissively, "She’s worth two billion, what difficulties could she have! How hard she works, what’s that got to do with me!"

"If you don’t want me to make a scene, pay back the money quickly, and I’ll leave immediately!"

"Otherwise, I’ll keep causing trouble until you’re bankrupt!"

Chen Xuan clenched his fists in anger. This woman was really becoming more and more unreasonable!

"I’ve been reasoning with you because you’re Jingting’s mother."

"If you continue with this nonsense, I really won’t be polite anymore!" Chen Xuan said coldly.

He was truly infuriated this time.

Ding Lijuan just sneered in disdain, "Oh, what now, you want to hit me?"

"Come on, try touching me! If you don’t, you’re a son of a bitch!"

"Let everyone see just how capable a son-in-law you are!"

"Hit me! Come on and hit me!!"

Ding Lijuan stood there smugly, even deliberately sticking her face in front of Chen Xuan.
