Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Never Have I Ever Seen Such a Shameless Person

"Old Three, this is your house, are you really going to let a junior act so brazenly here?"

Xia Yuhai couldn’t argue with Lin Hongzhuang, so he turned his attention to Xia Yujiang.

Xia Yujiang looked at Xia Yanbing and said coldly, "Xiaobing, let Linlin say a few less words, these are your elders. Speaking so rudely, what does that look like?"

"This is also my home. Linlin is my sister. She can say whatever she wants." Xia Yanbing replied indifferently.

Lin Hongzhuang stood up for her, so naturally, she would stand up for Lin Hongzhuang.

"Bingbing, your role as the general manager is too stifling. You have no real power at all; it’s a waste of your talent. Why don’t you come to my family’s company and be the general manager there? I can transfer my shares to you, so you don’t have to take this humiliating anger." Lin Hongzhuang said boldly.

Qin Yi was truly impressed with Lin Hongzhuang. Initially, she thought that the children of wealthy families didn’t have real friendship and were just fake friends; she didn’t expect Lin Hongzhuang to be so loyal.

Xia Yanbing shook her head slightly. If she left, the Xia Group probably wouldn’t last a year before going bankrupt. After all, they were her family; they were connected, and she couldn’t really stand by and watch the Xia Group collapse.

"You’re just too honest, that’s why these old stubborn bulls ganged up to bully you. If anyone dares to bully you again in the future, it won’t just be a scolding. I’ll give them a big smack, no matter who they are."

Xia Yanbing looked gratefully at Lin Hongzhuang. The things Lin Hongzhuang scolded earlier were what she had long wanted to say. But she was, after all, the junior and couldn’t scold her uncle and second uncle. Lin Hongzhuang’s scolding made her feel much more comfortable.

"Uncle, second uncle, since you disagree, then let’s put the matter of buying land and building an estate on hold for now. It’s getting late; you should head back to rest early." Xia Yanbing said somewhat wearily.

Xia Yuhai snorted coldly, got up, and walked towards the outside.

Just as Xia Yuhu was getting up and preparing to leave, his phone suddenly rang. After answering and saying a few words, his expression changed dramatically.

"Yuhu, why don’t you go? Are you waiting to be humiliated by a junior here?" Xia Yuhai stopped at the door and yelled back.

Xia Yuhu’s face turned pale, and he trembled as he said, "Wentao is in trouble."

The corners of Qin Yi’s mouth subtly turned upwards. It seemed Zhang Wenhao and Liu Zhanyuan had already made their move.

"What happened to Wentao?" Xia Yuhai came back and asked.

Xia Yuhu said in a panic, "The eldest of the Zhang Family, Zhang Hao, just called. He said Wentao lost a hundred million with them and told me to bring money to redeem him."

"A hundred million?" Xia Yuhai exclaimed.

Everyone present was shocked. A hundred million was no small amount for them.

"Serves him right! With that sort of conduct, he still thought he could take Bingbing’s place. He’d probably soon give away the Xia Group." Lin Hongzhuang gleefully said.

Xia Yanbing tugged at her hand, indicating she shouldn’t add fuel to the fire at this moment.

"A hundred million, how could he lose that much?" Xia Yujiang frowned and said.

"There’s no time to worry about that. Zhang Hao said if they don’t see the money in twelve hours, they’ll cut off Wentao’s limbs and send him to our house. We all know what the Zhang Family is about; they mean what they say." Xia Yuhu said in a panic.

Xia Yuhai frowned, "But a hundred million is no small amount."

"Big brother, old three, this time you must help me, help Wentao. You’ve watched him grow up; he can’t become disabled." Xia Yuhu pleaded with a face full of despair.

Xia Yujiang said, "But a hundred million is so much money; where do we find it?"

Xia Yuhai nodded.

"Big brother, old three, over the years, everyone has earned quite a bit. I know you must have it in your hands. Help Wentao; he’s your own nephew." Xia Yuhu said in desperation.

"We’ve earned some money over the years, but what I have was all squandered by my two at home, leaving nothing." Xia Yuhai said.

Xia Yujiang shook his head and said, "I also invested my money in the stock market. The stock market hasn’t been good lately, so there’s not much left."

"What? You used the family’s money to play the stock market?" Dong Jinsu suddenly screamed.

Xia Yujiang frowned and said, "Shut up."

"Why should I shut up? That money belongs to both of us; why do you misuse it without my consent? I’m telling you, you must get my money back, otherwise, we’re not done here." Dong Jinsu shouted at the top of her lungs; hearing the money was gone was like losing her parents.

"Big brother, old three, please help me find a way. Are you really going to watch Wentao die?"

The whole family suddenly turned into complete chaos.

"Xiaobing, how much money is in the company account now?" Xia Yuhu turned his attention to the company account.

Xia Yanbing said, "Not much; the fifty million injected by Chen Zhengwen barely kept the company alive. Now what’s left in the account is nothing compared to a hundred million." Xia Yanbing replied.

"What? You spent all the fifty million? Xia Yanbing, I’m telling you, if something happens to Wentao, it’s not over between us." Xia Yuhu roared.

Xia Yanbing felt her lips tremble with anger. What do you mean she spent all fifty million?

"You unreasonable old man, clearly your son lost a hundred million, and instead of figuring it out yourself, you’re here blaming everyone else. I think the person who should be blamed the most is you. If you don’t teach your son, it’s a father’s fault. How dare you criticize Bingbing?" Lin Hongzhuang put one hand on her hip and pointed at Xia Yuhu, scolding him loudly.

"This is our family matter; what does it have to do with you?" Xia Yuhu roared and took two steps forward.

Lin Hongzhuang rolled up her sleeves, sneered, and said, "What, you want to hit me? Try touching me? I’m not interested in your family’s mess. Even if your son gets cut up, he deserves it. But you all bullying Bingbing is unacceptable."

"You, you’re uncultured..." Xia Yuhu was so angry his face turned blue, but he didn’t dare lay a finger on Lin Hongzhuang.

"Pah, what nonsense. I’ve seen rogues, but I’ve never seen someone as shameless as you, asking for help and still being so arrogant, truly a wonder." Lin Hongzhuang wasn’t daunted and spat out insults.

Before, Qin Yi really disliked Lin Hongzhuang’s spirited nature; now, however, she greatly appreciated it. Indeed, she was a match for any man.

"Everyone stop yelling; can arguing save Wentao?" Xia Yuhai roared.

"Big brother, old three, I’m begging you to help me find a way; we must save Wentao. He’s my only child—if something happens..."

"If it doesn’t work, let’s call the police. Operating an illegal casino is against the law anyway." Xia Yujiang suggested.

Qin Yi shook his head slightly; his father-in-law was truly incompetent, taking so long to come up with such a bad idea.

Predictably, Xia Yuhu nearly jumped up, pointing at Xia Yujiang’s nose to yell, "Are you trying to get Wentao killed? You know what the Zhang Family is about. Besides, running a casino is illegal, but so is gambling."

"Old Two, how much money can you put together right now? Let’s see if we can gather enough by pitching in. The Zhang Family’s debt isn’t easy to owe. Even if Wentao gets cut, the money will still be missing." Xia Yuhai was clear on this point.
