The Crazy Son-In-Law

Chapter 208: Back to the Yao Family



The 10 million sales revenue had a net profit of about 2 million, and this was just the beginning.

He had already heard that Starline Health’s production line was limited, so they had not yet expanded their sales nationwide. Despite this, they were already out of stock, and the three-shift production schedule could not keep up with demand.

It was easy to imagine what the future would be like.

“Father, this product is really good. I’ve used it for a month, and the dark spots on my face have disappeared. My body also feels much lighter than before. You should give it a try,” Li Chunlian said.

Yao Zhenshu put Starline Health aside, deep in thought and silent.

“Grandfather, you must think of a solution,” Yao Han urged anxiously.

If Yao Cen’s Starline continued to grow, even though Yao Jianguo’s family had been kicked out of the Yao family, the descendants of the Yao family would still notice who was the more capable person to lead the family to greater heights. They would naturally weigh their options.

Kicking out such a talented person also meant kicking out a money tree, which would certainly cause other descendants of the Yao family to question his position as the head of the family.

The choice of the next family head would inevitably be shaken, something Yao Zhenshu’s branch could not bear.

“What can I do? They have already been driven out of the Yao family. Am I supposed to force them back?” Yao Zhenshu glanced at the few incompetent descendants in front of him and scolded them with his cane.

Another long silence filled the room.

“Well, I have an idea, but I don’t know if it will work,” Yao De broke the silence.

“Speak,” Yao Zhenshu said with a gloomy face.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

“Let’s summon Yao Jianguo back here. Although Yao Cen has distanced herself from our family, Yao Jianguo is still one of us, having grown up in this house. He still has feelings for the Yao family,” Yao De said.

“Bringing Yao Jianguo back will accomplish what? The company is not even in Yao Cen’s hands. The shares are in the hands of that useless Xiao Shun. Even if the shares were in Yao Cen’s hands, I doubt she would willingly transfer them to our family,” Yao Zhenshu said dismissively.

“Father, everything must be done step by step. Let’s first show goodwill. If Yao Jianguo agrees to return, we can plan for the future. If the shares are not in Yao Cen’s hands, we can find a way to transfer them to her. If they are not in Yao Jianguo’s hands, we can still find a way. As long as we’re united, anything is possible,” Yao De reasoned.

“I’ve dealt with that woman Liu Yunxiang for half of my life, I know her all too well. She’s easily influenced. Just get a few of her close friends to give her a little nudge, and she’ll probably let Xiao Shun transfer the company shares to Yao Cen. I’ll handle this.” Li Qinglian volunteered enthusiastically, as she was quite good at these things.

Yao Zhenshu remained silent.

Back then, it was he who drove Yao Jianguo’s family out of the Yao family. Now, to bring them back would mean losing face and asking for reconciliation shamelessly.

As the head of the family, where would his authority lie?

However, according to the information they received, Starline’s development prospects were beyond estimation.

Once Starline was in their possession, the Yao family had the potential to become another top family in Stillwater. With only three of the original four major families left in Stillwater, it was an excellent opportunity to fill the void, one they couldn’t afford to miss.

He hoped that one day, when people in Stillwater mentioned the Yao family, they would say, “This is the Yao family that replaced the century-old Sikong family. How glorious!”

The spacious hall fell silent once more, as everyone looked at Yao Zhenshu with eager anticipation, waiting for the elder to make a decision.

Several minutes passed, and Yao Zhenshu exhaled slowly through his nostrils.

“Let’s do it this way. Find a time for Yao Jianguo to come back, and I’ll talk to him.” Yao Zhenshu said.

Indeed, as Yao De said, even though Yao Jianguo was expelled from the Yao family, he still had feelings for the family.

Although these feelings were complex, deep down, he still had the same blood running through his veins.

After receiving the call from the Yao family, he immediately set aside his work and rushed back without delay.

“Please come in and take a seat.” Yao Zhenshu showed a kind smile to Yao Jianguo.

When Yao Jianguo saw Yao Zhenshu, he felt that he had aged a lot compared to a few years ago.

He still remembered the days when his uncle would take them, a group of children, to catch fish in the river and hunt birds in the trees. As people age, they just couldn’t help but recall the distant past, and couldn’t help but sigh. Time spares no one.

Having not seen each other for a while, Yao Jianguo was somewhat reserved. He nodded slightly and sat down.

After pouring a cup of tea for him, Yao Zhenshu said, “You didn’t even come to visit your uncle during the New Year. Are you still angry with me?”

“No, how could I be? I was just afraid that you wouldn’t be happy to see us during the holiday. I didn’t want to cause you any trouble.” Yao Jianguo took the tea offered to him and managed a bitter smile.

“I heard you were promoted to professor?” Yao Zhenshu changed the subject.

“Yes.”

“Good, after so many years, you’ve finally become a professor. Our Yao family now has an intellectual.” Yao Zhenshu laughed.

At this point, Yao Jianguo was somewhat surprised, but more so relieved to hear these words from Yao Zhenshu. It was an affirmation. After all, hadn’t he been a associate professor for so many years? Of course, he didn’t voice this thought.

“Uncle, you’re too kind. May I ask why you’ve invited me here?” Yao Jianguo inquired.

Yao Zhenshu pondered for a moment and said, “This time, I asked you to come because I wanted to know if you’re willing to return to the Yao family. After all, you are a member of the Yao family. I’m old and don’t have much time left. Maybe one day I’ll just let go and go to the other side.

When I see your father there, and he asks about you and how you’re doing, I won’t know what to say to him. I’m sure he’ll be mad at me.”

Yao Zhenshu’s words were heartfelt, and they stirred a sense of sadness in Yao Jianguo’s heart, causing his eyes to redden involuntarily.

“Uncle, you were just doing what you thought was right at the time for the sake of the greater good. Now that it’s all in the past, I hope you won’t dwell on it. If you want us to come back, we can do so immediately. After all, we’re still family, aren’t we? You’ve watched me grow up, and now that we’ve both grown old, let’s not let this small matter ruin our relationship.” Yao Jianguo said sincerely, his voice trembling with emotion.

He paused for a moment and continued, “However, I still need to go home and discuss this with my wife and the children. What do you think?”

“Of course, I will be waiting for your news,” said Yao Zhenshu.

After chatting about their recent circumstances for a while, Yao Jianguo got up and left.

Yao Zhenshu watched him walk away, a trace of contempt flashing in his eyes. He still couldn’t help but look down on Yao Jianguo.

With this minor matter, a grown man couldn’t make a decision-how could the Yao family have produced such a descendant?
