The Crazy Son-In-Law

There was silence in the car, Yao Cen was solemnly scrolling through her phone, news about Starline was still spreading.

People had experienced the toxic milk powder and fake vaccine incidents, so they were particularly strict towards food and drug companies. Even if the problem wasn’t with the product itself, they would still vehemently condemn it.

“Starline should go bankrupt soon, all the black-hearted management should go to hell!”

“These kinds of manufacturers that treat human lives as grass should be sentenced to death!”

“These people won’t die a good death! I hope the victims will never accept a settlement, no matter how much money is offered, they must make them pay the price!”

“I used to buy their Starline Health, even if they manage to suppress this incident this time, I will never touch any products produced by them in my life!”

Each vicious word entered her eyes, and Yao Cen sighed helplessly.

If Tulip International was like Yao Cen’s first child that died young, then Starline was her second child. Even though she had already decided to hand it over to Xiao Shun, she couldn’t bear to see it being defamed like this, naturally, she was heartbroken.

“What are you sighing for, you heard it just now, once the Environmental Protection Agency’s investigation results come out and a press conference is held, the truth will be clear. It’s okay,” Xiao Shun comforted.

“But the damage has already been done, it will never be the way it was before,” Yao Cen lamented.

“It’s not that serious, you’re overthinking,” Xiao Shun replied casually.

“Can I trust you?” Yao Cen’s eyes sparkled, she softly said, as if talking to herself.

“Absolutely, no matter what.”

Xiao Shun freed a hand to reach for hers, but because he was unskilled at driving, he had to keep his eyes on the road. Instead of finding her hand, he touched Yao Cen’s leg.

The touch felt good, and just when he was enjoying the moment, Yao Cen slapped his hand hard and gave him a sidelong glance.

“Focus on driving.”

Xiao Shun laughed awkwardly, obediently withdrew his wandering hand, and focused on driving.

At this moment, Yao Cen received a call from Mai Yaqin.

“President, it’s not good. More than ten customers have called asking for refunds and returns. What should we do?” reported Mai Yaqin, extremely anxious.

“Tell them that the issue will be resolved soon, and ask them to hold on a bit longer. If they insist on returning the goods now, they won’t be able to get a single product from us in the future,” Yao Cen responded confidently.

“Our products are not faulty. They can’t take advantage of this situation to rob us. If I’m not mistaken, their goal is to force us to lower prices for them. They can forget about that,” she added.

Starline Health was already in high demand, and although this incident had impacted sales, it was not to the extent that returns were necessary. It was clear these people were just kicking them while they were down.

“So… should I tell them just like that?” Mai Yaqin asked, somewhat unsure.

“Tell them exactly what I said,” Yao Cen instructed.

“All right.”

After ending the call, Yao Cen noticed Xiao Shun laughing beside her, in a somewhat… lewd manner.

“What are you laughing at?”

“Darling, you surprise me,” he said.

“Who’s your wife? We’re divorced,” Yao Cen retorted, shooting him a glare.

“I don’t agree.”

“Whether you agree or not, I’m leaving. Go find your Miss Tang.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Has anyone ever told you, you look adorable when you’re jealous,” Xiao Shun said, grinning shamelessly.

“Who’s jealous?” Yao Cen’s face turned a faint red, and she pinched him in response.

Upon returning to Pearl International, Yao Cen headed straight home after getting out of the car, with Xiao Shun following closely behind.

“Thank you for driving me home,” she said, stopping at her doorstep.

“Funny, this is my home too.”

“Give me some time. I haven’t figured out how to handle our relationship, and… I haven’t forgiven you yet,” Yao Cen said seriously.

Xiao Shun wanted to say, ‘I haven’t done anything wrong’, but it obviously wasn’t the right time. He smiled and said, “I’ll wait.”

Yao Cen pursed her lips, her hair dancing in the moonlight, looking beautiful, just like a painting. She didn’t say anything, just walked into the house. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room, she watched Xiao Shun disappear into the endless night.

Did you know how heartbroken I was when you wrote your name on the divorce agreement?

Xiao Shun looked back at the villa from a distance. His vision was better than most, and he saw Yao Cen standing in front of the window. He gave a bitter smile.

Did you know how heartbroken I was when I wrote my name on the divorce agreement? Why do we have to torture each other like this?

At the Yao family ancestral home, Yao Zhenshu was about to rest when there was a sudden, urgent knock on the door.

“Dad, I have something to report.”

“Can’t it wait until tomorrow?” Yao Zhenshu asked, walking over to open the door.

He saw Yao De standing outside with a beaming face and stepped aside, “Come in.”

Yao De walked in, exclaiming excitedly, “It’s good news, great news, Dad! You haven’t seen the news yet, have you? Starline caused dozens of people in the nearby village to fall ill due to their wastewater discharge. I heard some of them are in critical condition. The Environmental Protection Agency has sealed Starline for investigation. They’re being slammed online, their reputation is ruined.”

“Is everything you’re saying true?” Yao Zhenshu, unfamiliar with the internet and preferring to keep to himself, was far less attuned to such news than his descendants.

“Of course, the news about Starline causing deaths is all over the place, it can’t be fake. I’ve sent people to the hospital to inquire, and it’s indeed true,” Yao De confirmed.

Yao Zhenshu hummed in approval, “This indeed presents a great opportunity. While they’re busy dealing with their issues, we should expedite our product launch. How are things at the factory? Can we speed up production? This is an opportunity we can’t afford to miss.”

“The production line is still under adjustment, and the workers and technicians are not yet proficient… The production efficiency might not meet our expectations, and could result in wastage of raw materials,” Yao De said with some difficulty.

“Forget about those issues for now, just get the product out there. Let’s seize the market first, other matters can be dealt with later,” Yao Zhenshu said, pacing around impatiently.

“All right, I’ll arrange it first thing tomorrow morning,” Yao De said, brimming with confidence and casually praising his own daughter in the process. “Our Xiaoyu has been busy at the factory these days. She barely has time to eat, she’s really working hard.”

“Mm, Xiaoyu is indeed a good girl. It’s a pity she’s a girl, but rest assured, there will always be a place for Xiaoyu in the Yao family. Her contributions to the new factory are immense. The Yao family will never forget her efforts,” Yao Zhenshu said with a gratified smile, lavishly praising her, before suddenly seeming to remember something.

“How come I haven’t seen Han around lately? He hasn’t gone off to enjoy himself again, has he?”
