Chapter 373: Chapter 373: Yue Jiandong’s Strategy of Expelling the Tiger and Swallowing the Wolf

Upon learning that a young fellow had snagged such a large investment,

there were those whose hearts wavered, desiring to pluck the ripe fruit.

But after some investigation, they all withdrew their hands.

The registered Yiran Technology Company might not be very large, but behind it stood its founder’s father, Zhou Leyong.

The name of Yongle Group was known to everyone in the circle.

Zhou Leyong was indeed the helmsman of the group.

This had everyone convinced.

This was what they called "like father, like son"; a rich second generation who insisted on playing the self-made man.

With those harboring ulterior motives dispersed, Li Fuhong still couldn’t let go of his frustration.

That very night, he took a plane back to Zhuancheng and didn’t even want to sit next to Zhuang Rouhui any longer.

For three consecutive days, he did not return home at night, leaving Zhuang Rouhui no choice but to cry and complain to the elder Li Family’s household.

Because Zhuang Rouhui had given birth to boy and girl twins and due to her own financial luck, the elder Li Family still gave her some face.

They called Li Fuhong back home to scold him.

Li Fuhong returned with a cold laugh and recounted the incident.

"I had long told her to familiarize herself with more information, yet she insisted she was so lucky with money; she exposed us right on the spot! Thirty million US dollars, not three hundred yuan!"

At this, even the elder couple’s faces turned sour, and Li Fuhong twisted the knife further.

"Moreover, don’t be fooled by Zhou Yiran’s youth; this kid has big ambitions and is known in the industry as a sly fox, his business acumen is no less than his father’s. We are in the same industry and Yiran Technology even has a branch in Zhuancheng, with us competing like this, half of my path is essentially blocked, and who knows, I might even go out of business in a couple of years!"

Upon hearing this, the elder Mrs. Li stood up with the support of her cane and slapped Zhuang Rouhui hard.

Zhuang Rouhui’s cheek turned red from the hit, and she bit back her tears, not daring to let them fall.

"If it weren’t for the fact you’ve given birth to Ruyu and Ruyun, I would’ve forced Fuhong to divorce you right now. What damned financial luck; our Li Family doesn’t believe in such nonsense!"

Zhuang Rouhui’s fingernails almost dug into her palm.

Not believe in such things? Who was the one who held her hand with warmth, saying she would bring prosperity to her husband and wealth to the family?

But she ultimately didn’t dare say anything, leaving the Li Family’s old house in dejection...

There are no walls in the world that do not leak; besides, Zhuang Rouhui’s character was flamboyant, and there were plenty who didn’t like her.

The incident at the international exhibition was quickly spread through Zhuancheng.

Zhuang Rouhui nearly became the laughingstock of the circle of wealthy ladies; though no one mentioned it openly, who didn’t mock her behind her back for her beauty but lack of substance?

Yue Jiandong, a businessman, also heard about the incident.

He wasn’t a gossiper, but it deeply struck a chord with him.

Thank goodness Qingqing had taught her mother to read back then; as Yue Jiandong’s business grew over the years, Zhang Ying also made progress.

She even took classes and earned an accounting certificate.

With Zhang Ying managing the finances, Yue Jiandong couldn’t be more assured.

The couple still lived their life as before, one striving outside, one stabilizing everything at home.

As a couple, they had to progress together, not just as husband and wife but also as partners, to make life smoother and smoother.

After his reflections, Yue Jiandong suddenly realized he hadn’t seen his little heroine at home for the weekend.

"Mom, why isn’t Qingqing eating at home?"

Lin Chunju sipped her tea and casually replied, "She went to a classmate’s house to play, just over by the People’s Hospital staff quarters."

"Two days in a row? Eating at others’ houses so often isn’t very polite." Just as Yue Jiandong thought of getting some gift boxes from the department store to take over next time, he heard his mother slowly say.

"It’s nothing to be embarrassed about; that boy comes to pick up your girl every time. She wouldn’t be happy if she didn’t go."

The alarm bells went off in Yue Jiandong’s mind, and he immediately stood up.

"Is it that Yan Sinian? No, that’s not okay. He better not have any designs on Qingqing!"

Lin Chunju couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "Qingqing’s only in sixth grade, still a child. Are you worried about her being in young love?"

And she saw that the boy seemed to treat Qingqing like a younger sister; there probably wasn’t anything to it.

Yue Jiandong grunted.

Even so, it’s not okay. One has to prevent young love starting from the child! Can it still be called young love once they’re grown?

Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Zhang Ying went to answer the door and saw Jiang Jingze standing there.

"Auntie, hello, is Qingqing at home?"

Yue Jiandong’s eyes flicked around, and he suddenly came up with a wily plan to use one problem to solve another.

"Ah, she’s not here. Lately, she’s hardly been home, saying she’s at a classmate’s house playing. That brother is so good to her." Yue Jiandong responded loudly. "It’s by the People’s Hospital staff quarters. I’m not sure if you know the way."
