The traveling frog is living a carefree life in the Marvel universe.

"This……"

Qu Xiaoxiao was stunned by this surprise:

"Mom, things shouldn't have escalated to this point, right?"

"How could it not be like that?" Mrs. Qu said, "Xiaoxiao, I've seen all the hard work you've done these past few days, but Qu Yongquan is blind. He only cares about Qu Lianjie! You only messed up a tiny project in the company, and he treats you like that. Doesn't he ever think about how many projects Qu Lianjie has messed up? I've seen through him long ago. Deep down, he still believes that only his son can inherit the family business. Your grandmother, that old hag, is also biased towards Qu Lianjie. Everyone in the family is bullying you. Only your mother is on your side."

These days, Qu Xiaoxiao has indeed been very busy, but she hasn't gained much. The main reason is that Yao Bin has gone to jail and can no longer help Qu Xiaoxiao. As a result, Qu Xiaoxiao's true nature has been revealed. However, Qu's mother naturally doesn't think that her daughter is incompetent or a good-for-nothing. Instead, she believes that Qu Yongquan has not given his daughter enough help, that he is biased, and that he favors boys over girls.

"But Mom, our family is doing well, I don't want it to fall apart."

Qu Xiaoxiao was puzzled.

"What are you afraid of? If your father is willing to leave Shanghai and come live with us in America, I don't care. We have enough money in the house for him to eat, drink, and have fun. But if he still wants to give half of the family property that originally belonged to you to Qu Lianjie, then there's nothing we can do. We'll just go abroad and ignore them." Qu's mother said, "Over the years, I've had enough of your father's behavior! Qu Lianjie is always out there flirting with other women, acting like a playboy, but your father is no less so. He's always out there fooling around, and he lies to me that he's doing it for social engagements. Does he really think I'm stupid? If we can make it work, we'll make it work; if not, we'll break up. Anyway, from now on, my son and I are in an invincible position."

Qu Xiaoxiao left home in a daze, completely unable to understand how her once warm and loving home had deteriorated to this point in the blink of an eye, and how her parents' relationship had become so strained.

The key point is that Qu Xiaoxiao is not without feelings for her parents. She wants to fight for the family property, but she can't bear to let it lead to the destruction of the family.

Her father, Qu Yongquan, was able to build this company with assets worth hundreds of millions from scratch. He couldn't possibly be the kind of person who was weak and easily bullied. Qu Xiaoxiao felt that her mother's threats were unlikely to be effective and would probably only result in her father's desperate measures.

"Why...why did it have to come to this?"

……

Qu Yongquan and his son Qu Lianjie had no idea that their mother had orchestrated a devastating turn of events, turning them from billionaires into bankrupts in no time.

Qu Lianjie was having a blast, and while he was on Hong Kong Island, he drifted away and lost contact with others.

Soon after.

In an office building in Shanghai, Qu Yongquan was processing documents in his office.

Suddenly.

The phone rang in his office.

Qu Yongquan answered casually, but after only two sentences, he became anxious.

Because Qu Lianjie gambled heavily in Macau and lost nearly 100 million yuan in gambling debts, he couldn't pay the money back and was detained. They called him, demanding that he pay to ransom him.

Qu Yongquan knew that in Macau, once you lost money gambling, you couldn't get it back. If they said they'd break your legs, they definitely wouldn't break your arms.

My son, Qu Lianjie, has really gotten himself into a huge mess this time!

No matter how angry he was, his first priority was to redeem his good-for-nothing son.

After all, that was his own child, his only son.

And so.

Qu Yongquan immediately checked how much working capital the company had.

But when Qu Yongquan investigated, he was dumbfounded. It turned out that the entire company had become an empty shell, and the money had long since disappeared.

How could this happen?

Qu Yongquan was really desperate.

I think I should check it out.

Not long after, it was discovered that his wife, Mrs. Qu, had been using various pretexts and fabricating losses to siphon funds from the company. The company had long since run out of cash, and he, as the chairman, had been kept in the dark all along.

"That bitch!"

Qu Yongquan, his eyes red, cursed.

Now he knows perfectly well that his wife has long wanted to divorce him and transfer the assets away. Even if he wins the divorce case, he will definitely not be able to get the money back.

This is a blatant betrayal!

Especially now that her son has been detained in Macau and has lost 100 million yuan in gambling debts, if she can't pay back the money, her son will definitely be gone!

Qu Yongquan was furious, his eyes red with rage, and he drove home.

Those in the company who watched Qu Yongquan leave exchanged bewildered glances. Judging from his appearance, it seemed a bloodbath might be brewing in the chairman's family!

Immediately after Qu Yongquan left the company, someone called Qu's mother and Qu Xiaoxiao.

The mother and daughter must have planted their own people in the company. If they couldn't even receive a report from Qu Yongquan when he turned the entire company upside down to check the accounts, then it's impossible for Qu's mother to have transferred all the company's assets without Qu Yongquan's knowledge.

When Qu Xiaoxiao received the news that her father was furious and ready to confront her mother, she quickly drove her own car back home. She didn't want to see her father do anything irreversible in a moment of impulsiveness.

As soon as Qu Xiaoxiao entered the door, she heard her father and mother arguing loudly.

"...I never imagined that my wife, with whom I share a bed, would do such a thing in secret. I am utterly disappointed in you."

Mother Qu cried and said, "You're the one who wronged me and Xiaoxiao first! Xiaoxiao only made a small mistake, but look at your attitude towards her, it's as if she's not your own daughter."

"Am I angry that she lost a company project?" Qu Yongquan said, "I'm angry because she didn't study hard abroad and is incompetent. Foreign company executives can ask her some basic business questions, and she can't answer any of them. Abroad, she must have been thinking about eating, drinking and having fun all day long. She's the good daughter you raised!"

Qu's mother: "I can't argue with you! Anyway, I don't care. You want to take money out of me to pay off Qu Lianjie's gambling debts? That's impossible! A few hundred thousand or a few million is one thing, but that's over a hundred million in gambling debts! A hundred million! Qu Yongquan!"

“That’s my son. How can I just stand by and watch him die?” Qu Yongquan said. “Besides, do you really think that if we don’t redeem Lianjie, we can protect our family’s assets? They must have investigated our family’s situation thoroughly. If you don’t pay back the money, they have plenty of ways, both openly and secretly, to make you cough it up. Do you really think this world is being reasonable with you? Let me tell you, in Vietnam, you can find a hitman for two or three hundred thousand yuan, and there are plenty of retired soldiers eager to do it.”

Mother Qu: "Xiaoxiao and I are preparing to move abroad. If you want to come, then come with us. If you don't want to come, then you can prepare to spend the rest of your life with your son!"

Qu Yongquan forcibly suppressed his urge to kill, and said through gritted teeth:

“You want to leave the family fortune to Xiaoxiao, that’s fine, she’s my daughter, it’s only right that she inherits half of the family fortune. But we’re divorced, we have joint assets, and I want half of it, is that too much to ask? I’m using it to save Lianjie’s life! Over the years, you’ve been like mother and son to Lianjie for several years, can you really bear to see Lianjie’s cold body appear before your eyes?”

Honestly, if it weren't for the need to raise funds quickly to prevent the other party from killing him, he really wanted to hold down Qu's mother and beat her to a pulp. He had worked hard for most of his life to earn that money. If you want a divorce, you can have half of it. But you took everything and transferred all the assets, leaving me to live off you. Only a stupid woman like you could come up with such a scheme.

Qu's mother: "I can't bear it either, but if the price of that is over 100 million, then there's nothing more to say. He's caused too much trouble! If you really want a son, we can go abroad, do IVF, find a surrogate mother, and have a son for you, okay?"

Chapter 286 Chicken Flying and Eggs Falling

Qu Xiaoxiao: "???"

She truly never expected that her mother would come up with such a terrible idea in order to keep her father.

If her parents have another child, a younger brother, wouldn't half of the inheritance have to be divided up again?

In that case, he's not even as good as Qu Lianjie!

At least her mother was definitely on her side. But if she had another younger brother, who knew if her mother would also be like traditional women, favoring boys over girls? If that happened, she would have a hard time even if she wanted to die peacefully.

Some things are deeply ingrained in the Chinese people and are very difficult to eradicate.

"Mom, can we discuss Qu Lianjie's matter again?" Qu Xiaoxiao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mom and Dad, listen to me first. I've come up with an idea. Qu Lianjie has caused such a huge mess this time, we shouldn't let him suffer a huge loss! How about this, Qu Lianjie still has a villa and sports car worth 40 million, as well as other assets under his name, right? Let's sell all of Qu Lianjie's assets and raise about 50 or 60 million. Dad should have some money under his name, so we can contribute some. Mom, you can also contribute some of your money to get Qu Lianjie out of trouble. Just as Dad said, Qu Lianjie can't pay off his gambling debts in Macau, and we family members can't escape them either, so let's settle the gambling debts first."

"Of course, this portion of the money will be deducted from the assets that Qu Lianjie is entitled to. In the future, Qu Lianjie will receive more than 100 million less in assets. Is that acceptable?"

“Of course you can do that!” Qu Yongquan said, calming down. “This is a lesson he deserves.”

Qu's mother glanced at Qu Yongquan and muttered:

"I don't trust him. What if he changes his mind later?"

"Then I'll divide the family business clearly in advance, okay?" Qu Yongquan said angrily, "Most of the company's shares will be transferred to Xiaoxiao, leaving only our retirement funds for the rest of our lives, and enough money for Lianjie to live comfortably for the rest of his life. Is that alright?"

"Mom, what do you think?" Qu Xiaoxiao quickly asked.

It's impossible for the family not to give Qu Lianjie a single penny of their money, so it's already very good that they've managed to get this kind of treatment.

As for the company, it is operating well, and there is no sign of crisis. Its assets are constantly appreciating; it's a golden goose that keeps laying eggs and is the most valuable asset in the family.

If she could acquire a majority stake in the company in advance, everything would seem perfect.

The more than 100 million yuan that Qu Lianjie lost gambling in Macau was already a large part of his family fortune.

"In that case... it's not necessarily a bad thing."

Qu's mother said reluctantly:

"The company's shares will be transferred to Xiaoxiao, is that settled?"

"It's a promise!"

Qu Yongquan was so anxious that he really wanted to slap this woman across the face.

And so.

Under the watchful eyes of Qu Xiaoxiao and Qu Yongquan, Qu's mother took out her asset account.

"Huh? What's going on? Why can't I log into this software?"

Qu's mother spent a long time trying to figure it out, but still couldn't understand it.

To be honest, Qu's mother was not illiterate; she had some education, having graduated from high school in that era. However, times were constantly changing, and Qu's mother was used to the life of a wealthy woman living a life of luxury. She had a superficial understanding of the financial world, but in any case, she was far from being an expert...

"Mom, what's going on?"

Qu Xiaoxiao also became anxious.

"You're not just trying to fob me off because you don't want the money, are you?" Qu Yongquan looked at his mother suspiciously and said, "Or is it..."

"Don't talk. I know what to do. Your noise is confusing me." Qu's mother angrily interrupted Qu Yongquan, then continued to bury herself in the computer and manipulate it.

However, no matter what she did, Qu's mother was unable to restore her previous bank account page.

"How could this happen? Everything was working perfectly before. Why can't I log in now? Did I miss something?"

Sweat gradually appeared on Qu's mother's forehead.

Keep in mind, the assets she transferred were worth over 100 million, almost 200 million. If they were simply lost...

What's the point of playing then?!

"Mom, don't worry, tell me how to operate it, and I'll operate it for you." Qu Xiaoxiao said, "You middle-aged people may not know how to use electronic products, so I'll do it."

"well."

Qu's mother gave up her position to Qu Xiaoxiao.

She dictated the events, and Qu Xiaoxiao orchestrated the whole thing, and after a series of manipulations…

Qu Xiaoxiao fell silent.

a long time.

She began to speak:

"Mom, is it possible that you've been scammed?"

"Impossible, impossible!" Mrs. Qu said in disbelief. "Something must have gone wrong. I'm going to find them!"
