Chapter 58: I Don't Owe You Guys Anything

  He actually introduced himself to Zuo Xiaoyao first!

  And without mentioning that she is her sister, just because this woman was abandoned as a child and has the humble identity of not having the blood of the Zuo family, what right does she have to introduce herself to Zuo Xiaoyao? Zuo Wenting made a great effort to suppress the flames in her heart, and by then, she had already heard Zuo Xiaoyao's gentle voice, as if it were natural: "It's an honor for me to meet Miss Wenting, but I don't know how my second uncle has been doing these years?"

  Zuo Wenting, whose anger had risen again in her heart, had grown up in a complex family environment since she was young and had been holding important positions in the Zuo family for more than two years. She had long been skilled at not showing her emotions on her face. After taking a deep breath, she smiled back and said, "Thank you for your concern, Grandfather is very healthy, but as the head of the family, he can't help but work hard. I'm glad to meet Xiaoyao, congratulations to Fifth Uncle, and welcome another daughter! Fifth Aunt will be happy too when she finds out!"

  No one missed the expectation and schadenfreude that flashed in Zuo Wenting's eyes when she mentioned her "fifth aunt", and Zuo Zhenglong still smiled and replied, "Of course, Xiaoyao has been keeping my paternal grandmother company for so many years. Now we are finally reunited, and our whole family is very happy."

  Is that what they call a family? Zuo Xiao Yao smiled warmly and ambiguously, "That's good, I'll definitely go visit your grandfather properly when I have the chance."

  A flash of unusual color quickly passed through Zuo Zhenglong's eyes, while ignoring the slight daze in Zuo Wenting's eyes due to her words, he continued to say "You guys chat first, I still have something to do, I'll leave first!"

  "Wait, Xiaoyao! It's like this, you definitely haven't had lunch yet either. We rarely meet up, let's go eat something first!"

  Subconsciously calling out to Zuo Xiaoyao who was about to turn around and leave, Zuo Zhenglong completely used the tone of an elder to persuade her to stay, his expression also very kind and amiable. Unfortunately, in Zuo Xiaoyao's heart, the affection she had for her grandmother did not extend to him, and their relationship was nothing more than that of strangers who had just met for the first time.

  Just like Zuo Zhenglong, after Grandma's death, he immediately renamed the Shijia Group, which was controlled by him, to Zuoshi. At the same time, he recognized the original family of Zuoshi and injected a large amount of capital into the country. He even sent Zuo Jingxuan with a box to find her. The fact that the contents of the purple box were not in his hands was completely exposed, shifting the blame, making Zuo Xiaoyao, who had not been taken seriously by Liu Cheng and others, pushed to the forefront.

  There isn't much deep emotional connection between Ben and Zuo Zheng Long, the reason they have any connection at all is because of Grandma and Zi Zun San Bao. Therefore, towards his behavior, Zuo Xiao Yao doesn't have much feeling, nor does she plan on developing a real father-daughter relationship with him. "Uncle, don't be polite, after I've dealt with the matters in my hands, I will naturally go to your house for a visit!"

  Some grudges, it's time to settle them once and for all, let's just say it's the last thing she can do for her grandmother! But these words only flashed through Xue Yao's mind, without being spoken.

  The next day, the news of the chairman and president of Hongxin Group dying in a 'car accident' had not yet become old news, when Hongxin again exploded with shocking 'inside information'. The Qinghong Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. controlled by it was selling its well-known domestic product - Qinghong Clear Mind and Calm Oral Liquid - through illegal pyramid sales. Standing at the top of the pyramid scheme was Wang Zhaonan, the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, who had obtained huge funds through this means. At the same time, the truth that this high-end oral liquid contained banned ingredients was also exposed, causing chaos for Hongxin.

  Three days later, Zeng was being pursued by Wang Quanren with a high price, but now he actually holds 55% of the shares of Hongxin. Xue Xiaoqiao suddenly appeared at the temporary shareholders' meeting of Hongxin, and the news that there is another person who really controls the Hongxin Group also spread quickly. It turned out that Wang Quanren was just a nominal president and chairman!

  While all major media were conveying this stunning news to the public in the first place, another blockbuster bomb was dropped again. The group, which had been operating well, suddenly found that its huge assets had disappeared overnight. Hongxin was hollowed out from within in one night, and even the huge funds collected through illegal pyramid schemes became heavily indebted, and all the flow of funds could not be traced.

  After barely holding on for a month, due to the loss of market confidence, stocks plummeted every day, falling to the point where trading was halted. At this point, Hongxin had already fallen below its issue price, and bankruptcy seemed imminent. However, just as all hope seemed lost, Zuo suddenly convened a press conference, announcing his willingness to take over the battered Hongxin. On the brink of death, Hongxin was given new life, and its shareholders, who were almost desperate, sold their shares with smiles on their faces at an extremely low price.

  Just getting off the car, looking at this middle-aged couple in front of her with a flattering smile, trying to play the family card again, Zuo Xiao Yao replied indifferently "I'm Zuo Xiao Yao, really good sale, not bad price, right? You two have never raised me for a day, thrown away once, sold twice, even if I was born by you, shouldn't you at least break even? Are you still not satisfied?"

  "Xiao... Xiao Yao, don't say that. This time we didn't sell you out, really! Wang Quanren only said he wanted to find you and took the initiative to do so, didn't say anything else. We also don't know what he wants to do. Zhao Nan is your own sister, no matter what, you can't just abandon her!"

  As she spoke, middle-aged woman Li Ping burst into tears again, with a pleading expression that was especially touching.

  "To be honest, I'm really curious how there are people like you in this world. But thinking about it, if it weren't for parents like you, how would a daughter like Wang Zhaonan be raised? Fortunately, the saying 'dragons give birth to nine sons, each with different virtues' is well-known to everyone. Why don't you go cry to the media about how heartless and unrighteous I am? Is it because you're ashamed? It shouldn't be, right? Since you've already publicly declared that you want to cut ties with me, yet you still come here today, repeating this back and forth, I won't play along!"

  Seeing them, it's hard to help but think of what they've been doing all along. In Xiaoyao's heart, it's impossible not to make any ripples.

  As the most popular media personality recently, this move is obviously quite eye-catching. Ignoring the onlookers, in a chorus of gasps, middle-aged man Wang Daxiong, with great flexibility, pulled Li Ping down to kneel and say "Xiaoyao, no matter what, it's our fault, and has nothing to do with your sister Zhaonan. No matter what grudges you have with Wang Quanren, she is just the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, listening to her father-in-law's words and borrowing a name to run errands, having no relation to Hongxin at all! Please spare her, those things really weren't done by her, they are innocent!"

  I don't know how others would react when their own biological parents repeatedly kneel down, but looking at the two of them using this method again and again, Zuo Xiao Yao just found it ridiculous!

  She slightly raised her head, a sneer playing on the corner of her mouth. Her heart, which had been repeatedly wounded, was now as hard as stone. Luo XiaoYao didn't budge at all. "Whether I'm clean or not, we should believe in the police, what's the use of asking me? Moreover, you're surnamed Wang, and I'm surnamed Luo. Whether it's their Wang family affair or your Wang family affair, what does it have to do with me? Now who doesn't know that I'm a big poor person? Although there are those shares, HongXin is heavily in debt. If I sell HongXin, I won't owe any debts, and that would be good. What do you want to force this pitiful person to do by kneeling here? It seems like I don't owe you anything!"

  Sorry, I didn't manage to code two chapters for 9 yuan, will try harder next time!
