Chapter 1349 The Qu Family Goes Bankrupt! (Please Subscribe!)

In the morning, Qu Xiaoxiao woke up crying, clearly still unable to accept the cruel reality.

Hearing the sound, Andy came over and patted her on the shoulder, telling Qu Xiaoxiao about her conversation with Hua Shier yesterday.

Qu Xiaoxiao stopped crying immediately, gritting her teeth and saying hatefully:

"So it was that bastard and Qu Lianjie who teamed up to scam me!"

Ignoring Andy's attempts to stop her, she rushed out of room 2201 and went downstairs to confront Hua Shier. Andy quickly followed her, trying to persuade Qu Xiaoxiao not to be so impulsive and to discuss things further.

Qu Xiaoxiao ran to the 21st floor and started kicking the door of room 2101, making a deafening noise. Andy, who arrived shortly after, tried to calm her down, but the hot-tempered young lady wouldn't listen and continued shouting and cursing.
"You bastard, come out here! You tricked me, I'll fight you to the death!"

As he spoke, he kicked it twice more.

The door opened, and Hua Shier, holding a coffee cup in one hand, appeared before the two women, looking at Qu Xiaoxiao expressionlessly:
"Do you know what you look like right now? A loser!"

Qu Xiaoxiao went crazy, broke free from Andy's grasp, and started scratching Hua Shier's face with both hands.

Hua Shier, holding a coffee cup in his left hand, raised his right hand and delivered a powerful slap, making Qu Xiaoxiao stumble. Her head slammed against the open door with a thud, leaving her completely stunned.

Moreover, blood started flowing from the corner of her mouth. She spat it into her palm and a large tooth came out.

Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't accept it and burst into tears.

Andy quickly asked, "Xiao Qu, are you alright?"

After saying that, he looked up and glared angrily at Hua Twelve:
"Old Wang, how could you hit a woman?"

She only realized after she finished speaking that this wasn't the first time this guy had hit her. Last time at the resort, if Yao Bin hadn't stopped him, this guy would have added another kick.

Hua Shier looked at Andy, a mocking smile playing on his lips:

"Andy, did you come back from the U.S.? She stormed into my house, kicked down the door, and even tried to attack me. If this were in the U.S., I could kill her and get away with it. But even in China, what I did just now could be considered self-defense and emergency avoidance. What are you talking to me about men and women when it comes to the law!"

Andy was momentarily stunned, speechless.

She had no choice but to pull Qu Xiaoxiao away first.

"and many more!"

Hua Shier called out from behind, and Andy stopped and turned around:

"We've already fought, what else is there to say?"

Hua Shier took a sip of coffee: "Come keep me company tonight. You've spoiled me lately; I can't sleep soundly without holding something!"

Andy blushed instantly, while Qu Xiaoxiao looked on incredulously.

bump!
Hua Shier ignored the two women's expressions and closed the door. Yes, he did it on purpose. Andy was socially awkward, so he was good at helping people become more cheerful.

Qu Xiaoxiao covered her slapped cheek, crying as she said:

"Andy, how could you do this? Aren't you dating Lao Wei? Did this bastard force you? Let's call the police and have him arrested!"

Andy's face grew increasingly red. She grabbed Qu Xiaoxiao and pulled her away, saying quickly at the same time:
"If I didn't have this kind of relationship with him, how would I know that he set you up? Let's go!"

Hua Shier called Qu Lianjie from his room.

Qu Lianjie had been partying all night and was sleeping in his hotel room with a pretty girl in his arms when his phone rang. He initially wanted to turn it off and go back to sleep, but when he saw it was Hua Shier calling, he quickly answered and said with a forced smile:

"Brother Wang, what are your instructions?"

Qu Lianjie is now completely convinced by Hua Twelve.

Previously, he was completely passive in the face of Qu Xiaoxiao returning to China to fight for the family property. He could only worry helplessly. But when Wang Baichuan appeared, he not only made his father, Old Qu, suffer a setback, but also used a clever trick to kill two birds with one stone. He not only destroyed Qu Xiaoxiao's cooperation with GI, but also took GI's agency rights into his own hands.

Qu Lianjie is now Hua Shier's partner. He will receive 40% of the future profits from the GI agency rights. How could he not have respect for Hua Shier?

Hua Shier said on the other end of the phone:

"Qu Xiaoxiao knows about what happened between us, and she's probably already home complaining about us!"

Qu Lianjie immediately became anxious:

"What, what should I do? The old man will definitely beat me to death!"

Hua Twelve is so disgusted:

"What are you panicking for? Since you've done it, you can't hide it forever. You'll have to face this sooner or later. You might as well just confront your husband, Qu Xiaoxiao, and let them understand the situation they're in now!"

Qu Lianjie felt a chill run down his spine at the thought of what was about to happen; he didn't know whether it was fear or excitement.
"This, this isn't good, is it? I feel like I'm playing the villain. Can the old man handle it?"

Hua Twelve chuckled:
"Tell me, do you want your dad to see your stepmother's true colors? Do you want your dad to go back to your mom and apologize to your mom and grandma?"

After hearing these two sentences, Qu Lianjie finally realized his current emotion: it wasn't fear, but excitement.
"Okay, done!"

Qu Xiaoxiao drove back to her villa after leaving Ode to Joy. As soon as she entered, an angry old man shouted at her:
"You still know how to come back!"

As he spoke, he turned around to look for something handy to teach this unfilial daughter a lesson.

Qu's mother quickly pulled her aside, while also scolding Qu Xiaoxiao:
"Apologize to your dad right now, look how angry you've made him!"

Qu Xiaoxiao would never apologize: "Why should I apologize? There was a traitor in this, it was Qu Lianjie, he colluded with outsiders to set me up!"

After she finished speaking, she told Lao Qu what Andy had told her.

Mother Qu suddenly felt emboldened and complained to Old Qu:

"Look at him! Is that your son? He's an ungrateful wretch! He's actually teaming up with outsiders to swindle his own sister and his own company. Isn't that betraying his own people?"

Mr. Qu was also stunned. He took out his phone and called Qu Lianjie. As soon as the call connected, he shouted:
"Get back here right now!"

Half an hour later, Qu Lianjie's Maserati stopped in front of the villa. Hua Shier, who was in the passenger seat, got out of the car and looked around the Qu family villa with a smile.

He knew that the Qu family was about to stage a dramatic and moving family ethics story.

Yes, that's right. Hua Shier just came along to have some fun and watch the show.

As Qu Xiaoxiao entered the room with Qu Lianjie, she immediately screamed:

"You bastard, what are you doing here? This is my house!"

Hua Shierchao and Qu Lianjie laughed, "What kind of family upbringing is this? Your sister is so rude!"

Qu Lianjie said in a pretentious manner:
"Brother Wang, please forgive me. It's all because my stepmother spoiled her. What kind of daughter can a mistress raise? With her words and actions, how could she not raise this thing? She barks at everyone she sees, has no manners at all, just like a teddy bear!"

Qu Lianjie's words stunned Qu's parents. Qu Xiaoxiao was stunned for two seconds before shouting:
"Qu Lianjie, you ungrateful wretch! You're the teddy bear, your whole family are teddy bears!"

Hua Shier laughed uncontrollably: "How did your sister manage to study abroad with such a low IQ? She even curses herself when she gets angry!" Qu Lianjie looked ashamed: "Don't even mention it. What study abroad? It was just a diploma mill. After a few years abroad, she probably doesn't know anything but messing around. Didn't you see how she couldn't even speak fluent English during the negotiations!"

Mother Qu clutched her chest and said to her husband:
"Old Qu, this is your son, this is the good son you insisted on bringing from the countryside to raise!"

Mr. Qu was also furious, even wanting to kill his son, but he knew there were priorities, and immediately demanded:
"Jian Jie, I'm asking you, did you steal the GI project? Why did you do that?"

As soon as Hua Shier saw that the main event was about to begin, he took out a handful of melon seeds and entered "watching the show" mode.

Qu Lianjie chuckled:
"Dad, we have to be reasonable. I've been working on the GI project all along. If anyone's stealing something, it's Qu Xiaoxiao who stole it from me. I just think this is unfair!"

Mr. Qu calmed his breathing and said, "Hand over the GI agency rights first, and then we can talk about other things!"

Qu Lianjie smiled and shook his head:

"That won't do. Right now, Brother Wang has control over the GI agency rights. I'm just an employee!"

Mr. Qu finally lost his temper:
"Well, you've grown wings now, just like your aunt said, you've become an ingrate, haven't you!"

"Let me tell you, Qu Lianjie, if you don't hand over the GI agency rights, your position in the company will be terminated starting today, and you can forget about getting a single penny from me from now on!"

"I'll go and make a will right away, and leave all my assets to Xiaoxiao!"

When Old Qu said this, both Qu's mother and Qu Xiaoxiao perked up. If it really could be like this, it might turn a bad thing into a good thing for them, and they could directly kick that ingrate Qu Lianjie out of the house.

Qu Lianjie didn't care at all:
"Dad, wake up! It's not like we still have any inheritance!"

Old Qu was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Qu Lianjie said with a smile:
"It means exactly what it says. Do you remember those two urban village housing projects you gave me? The building material suppliers I chose were all unreliable. They ran away with our money and now we can't find them. The construction sites are about to stop production!"

"That money is all loan money, Dad. You need to find a way to repay it soon, otherwise the bank will take back the house if you can't pay it back!"

Seeing his son laughing like a flower while saying he was deceived, Old Qu knew perfectly well that this whole thing was definitely related to that ungrateful wretch.

He pointed outside and said, "Get out! From now on, the Qu family has no son like you. Get out of here right now!"

Qu Lianjie clicked his tongue and said, "I admit that I transferred the family assets, but I didn't do it alone. Why are you targeting me? That's not fair!"

Old Qu was somewhat bewildered, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart, and asked again:
"What do you mean?"

Qu Lianjie pointed to Qu's mother behind Old Qu:
"Then you'll have to ask your mistress, the vixen my grandma talks about. She's transferred a lot of assets abroad this past year. She did it first, so I have to think about myself."

Old Qu turned to look at his wife, whose eyes darted around, avoiding his gaze.

Qu Xiaoxiao was taken aback and turned to look at her mother: "Mom, is what he said true?"

Initially, Qu's mother felt a little guilty, but after hearing her daughter's question, she instantly felt relieved.

"Yes, I transferred assets, all for Xiaoxiao's sake. If you hadn't brought this good-for-nothing son back, would I have done this? That's all our family's money, why should it go to this ingrate? I just don't accept it!"

Mr. Qu's face turned ashen: "How could you do this?!"

He's starting to believe Qu Lianjie's words: that his son saw his stepmother transferring assets and that's why he took action. Qu's mother set a bad example.

Qu Lianjie said jokingly;

"Dad, we're probably having trouble with this month's loan payments and getting our partners' money back. But if Auntie can bring back the money she transferred out, I'm sure our Qu family will be able to get through this!"

Old Qu looked at his mother without saying a word, but the meaning in his eyes said it all.

Qu's mother immediately cried out:

"Why should I pay it back? Half of the money in this family belongs to me, and it was all left to Xiaoxiao!"

Old Qu swayed, clutching his chest:

"Can't you pay back the money first for the sake of this family? I promise you I'll leave Xiaoxiao the most substantial share of the family fortune, okay?"

"You're dreaming! Why don't you make your ungrateful son return the money!"

Qu's father looked at Qu Lianjie.

Qu Lianjie said calmly, "There has to be an order to things. If Auntie can transfer the money back, then I will return the money to her. I swear to God, I keep my word!"

When Mr. Qu looked at Mrs. Qu, the pressure was now on her side.

Qu's mother sneered:
"Why are you looking at me like that? That's what my daughter and I deserve. I've had enough of you, Mr. Qu. I want a divorce, starting tomorrow!"

Mr. Qu swayed, and Qu Lianjie and Qu Xiaoxiao rushed forward to help him, but he pushed them away.

"Get out of here!"

Just then, applause suddenly rang out, and Hua Twelve clapped his hands with a smile:

"Wonderful, truly wonderful! A virtuous wife and loving mother, a kind father and filial son—you've lived the life you deserve!"

Mr. Qu looked at him coldly: "You get out of here too, you're not welcome in our house!"

Hua Twelve said with a smile:
"I forgot to tell you, I'm also your family's creditor. Actually, your company was already on the verge of collapse last month, and Qu Lianjie borrowed a lot of money from me. The loan documents all have your company's official seal and are witnessed by a lawyer, so they are in accordance with legal procedures. If you can't pay it back, this villa of yours, and the rest of your company's assets, will all be mine!"

Mr. Qu's eyes went black; it was a bolt from the blue.

At this moment, Qu Lianjie said with a wry smile, "Brother Wang, my dad is timid, so please don't scare him!"

Hua Shier nodded; "Alright, let's get down to business!"

He took out his phone and made a call, speaking in English: "Let's get started, do as I say!"

Everyone in the Qu family except Qu Lianjie was baffled, but a few minutes later, Qu's mother received a phone call and exclaimed:
"How could this be? That's my money! How could it be money laundering? I'm going to sue you! I'm going to take legal action!"

Before the phone call was even finished, Qu's mother collapsed to the ground, completely stunned, her face drained of color.

Qu Xiaoxiao quickly went to help her mother: "Mom, what's wrong? Don't scare me, what happened?"

Hua Twelve smiled faintly:
“Let me explain. Your mother transferred the money to an offshore island, and it just so happens that the president there is a friend of a friend of mine. So I put in a good word for Lianjie, and the money your mother transferred was seized on suspicion of money laundering!”

"Besides, your mother transferred the money through underground banks to avoid taxes. People aren't wrong to say she's laundering money. Her actions don't follow legal procedures. I'll report it to the police for you later. Old lady, you can wait to go in for further education. There are plenty of talented people in the underworld, and they're all very nice to talk to!"

Qu's mother rolled her eyes and immediately fainted.

Hua Shier looked at Qu Xiaoxiao and smiled:

"Remember what I said? I promised to make you beg for food, and I'll definitely keep my word!"
