The Crazy Son-In-Law

Chapter 272: Strangers to Each Other



After breakfast, Xiao Shun began to recall and write Fallen Seven for Qin Guangyuan. Tang Shishi, not wanting Tang Li to know about her injury and fearing that he would mobilize a large group to fetch her back, insisted on not going to the hospital. She planned to stay in the small courtyard. Although her excuse was somewhat far-fetched, she was the injured party, so they had to let her be.

Song Linger changed her dressings. As she was also injured, she didn’t practice boxing and dozed off leaning against the rattan chair. It was indeed an incredibly leisurely life.

With the overwhelming publicity of Starline Health’s TV commercials, sales have risen to a new level. However, Starline’s production capacity is limited, and there is now even a shortage, with products hard to come by. Some people have asked factory workers to help get products directly from the factory, and they are willing to pay the retail price.

Of course, some counterfeit goods have appeared on the market, but the scale is not large, and Yao Cen doesn’t have time to deal with them for now. However, the Yao family are anxious to see this, wishing the factory could be established today.

The reason why Yao Zhenshu insists on not lowering the share price of the Yao Group is mainly because they still have some cash at hand, including the funds collected by other descendants of the Yao family, and some properties under the Yao Group were sold at a low price.

They bought an idle factory in Stillwater and pre-ordered three production lines similar to Starline from overseas. They are expected to arrive in Stillwater in a few days. However, the funds raised were quickly depleted.

After all, the Yao family is just a second-rate family in Stillwater, with total assets of only two or three billion. Of course, this is calculated at normal prices. Unfortunately, no one is buying the shares of the Yao Group even when they drop to 70%. If they drop to 50%, it will definitely be a last resort. Just like now.

As soon as the production line arrives, they need to recruit technicians, train workers, build sales and administrative teams, etc. They also only paid the down payment for the factory, and agreed to pay off within three months.

The Yao Zhenshu family has been in a state of anxiety recently, looking for money everywhere, but no one is willing to lend them money. Even local banks dare not lend them money, let alone those from other places.

Inside the Yao family’s ancestral home.

“Dad, why don’t we talk to Oakland Finance? Business is all about negotiation.” Yao De said to Yao Zhenshu with a worried look.

“Yes, dad, we raised the initial funds from others. If the production line comes back and everything is in place, but our funds are not in place, others will certainly not be happy and blame us. We can’t keep dragging it like this.” Li Chunlian also echoed.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“The Yao Group was painstakingly saved by your grandfather’s generation. I’m unwilling to transfer the shares to others at a low price.” Yao Zhenshu sighed.

“Our new factory is separate from the Yao Group. Once we make enough money, we can buy back the shares. It’s okay if the price is a bit higher. By then, we won’t be short of money, will we?” Li Chunlian said.

With a heavy sigh, Yao Zhenshu hesitated for a long time and then said to Yao De, “It seems we have no other choice. You should represent the Yao Group and contact Mr. Wen.”

“Okay, I’ll contact him right away.” Yao De said, smiling.

“Grandpa, don’t worry, as long as our new factory can be built, we will soon earn the money back.” Yao Xiaoyu, who was standing by, comforted.

“Xiaoyu is sensible. If the new factory can be built, you will deserve half the credit. How about I make you the general manager of the new factory?” Yao Zhenshu smiled.

“Grandpa, I just graduated not long ago. I’m afraid I can’t do it.” Yao Xiaoyu said.

“Yes, grandpa, Xiaoyu has no experience. Running such a big factory is not a joke.” Yao Han quickly added.

Ever since he had thrown Tulip International into chaos, Yao Zhenshu had completely lost his patience with his grandson. Even if it meant supporting him for the rest of his life, he didn’t want him to hold any position in the family business.

Yao Zhenshu scoffed at him: “You certainly have rich experience, ruining a company at every position you hold, perhaps I should hand over the new factory to you?”

Yao Han’s face flushed red, knowing that he was in the wrong, and could not argue. He stammered: “Grandpa, I… I did not mean that.”

Yao Zhenshu shook his head, patting Yao Xiaoyu’s hand: “It’s okay, you go ahead and do it. When the time comes, I will personally oversee it for you, making sure your new factory runs smoothly.”

“Grandpa is so good to me.” Yao Xiaoyu was overjoyed, cooing sweetly.

Yao Han, who had lost favor, felt bitter at this moment. The position of family head that he had been longing for was probably going to change hands.

Although Yao Xiaoyu was a girl and women were unable to inherit the position of family head in the Yao family, Yao Han wasn’t the only third-generation direct descendant of Yao Zhenshu.

_I’m not a waste! _

_I just lack a bit of luck! _

_I will surely make achievements to show you all! _

Yao Han roared silently in his heart.

That night.

When Xiao Shun returned home, the three members of the Yao family were already eating dinner.

The atmosphere at home was extremely awkward, which was why he felt so depressed as soon as he returned home.

Although he felt innocent, he now felt like a sinner. He could feel the distance the three members of the Yao family were keeping from him, as if they were gradually drifting away, and he was powerless to stop this from happening.

Xiao Shun sat down at the dining table and served himself a bowl of rice. He felt like a stranger mooching off someone else’s meal.

“Xiao Shun, what do you plan to do? Just let it drag on like this?” After a long silence, Liu Yunxiang finally couldn’t help but speak.

“Mom, it’s not about what I want now, it’s about what Yao Cen wants. I’ve explained everything, and I have a clear conscience. If my actions made Yao Cen uncomfortable, I can apologize. But as for admitting to infidelity, I won’t,” Xiao Shun said.

“Are you afraid that if you admit to infidelity and you two get divorced, you will get less of the property?” Liu Yunxiang said with a stern face.

Xiao Shun shook his head and ignored her.

“Cen, what about you? What do you plan to do? You two can’t go on like this. Either make up with me right now and live a good life in the future, or just get a divorce. It’s painful to be kept in the dark,” Liu Yunxiang ultimatumed.

“We’re getting a divorce.” Yao Cen put down his bowl, simply but firmly uttered these two words.

Xiao Shun’s hand paused slightly as he picked up some food. He tried to keep a calm and indifferent look, but his heart was aching.

Love, this almost quantum field thing, can’t be touched, can’t be grasped, but it can hurt you, not only your brain but also your heart.
