The Crazy Son-In-Law

Chapter 408: Unable to Swallow



“I heard from my mother that my grandfather was always in good health, how could this happen so suddenly? You didn’t explain it clearly on the phone, and I’ve heard some rumors since I arrived in Harrow. What exactly happened?” Yang Zinuo asked with a slightly furrowed brow.

When she was a child, Old Master Wei was extremely fond of her. Even though the Wei descendants were all pampered, no one ever dared to bully her.

Whoever dared to make her cry, Old Master Wei would give them a severe scolding. That’s why she still feels grateful to the old master.

Wei Wendong paused for a moment, and then narrated the whole incident to Yang Zinuo.

When Wei Wendong mentioned the name Xiao Shun, Yang Zinuo immediately thought of her current Branch Head, whose name was also Xiao Shun. Could it be a coincidence?

“Xiao Shun?” She said, slightly surprised.

“Yes, why? Do you… know him?” Wei Wendong asked.

“The current Branch Head of Old School Society is named Xiao Shun, I wonder if it’s the same person,” Yang Zinuo said thoughtfully.

She quickly added, “It probably isn’t the same person.”

Wei Wendong was taken aback for a moment, then he seemed to realize something. His eyebrows furrowed deeply, “It might actually be the same person.”

“No wonder, no wonder. So many companies were supporting Xiao Shun at the charity dinner. I originally thought they were doing it for Kou Zhengqing’s sake, but it turns out he’s the Branch Head of Old School Society…”

Wei Wendong couldn’t believe it and murmured to himself, “So it was him who caused my father’s death.”

Yang Zinuo murmured emotionlessly, “What a coincidence.”

Wei Wendong gave a wry smile and sighed, “Why didn’t he reveal his identity from the start? If we had known that he was the Branch Head of Old School Society, our Wei family wouldn’t have opposed him, and your grandfather wouldn’t have died so tragically. But it’s too late now, it seems our Wei family has no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.”

“Can you swallow it?” Yang Zinuo looked at him.

“We have to swallow it, no matter what. It’s no wonder that our Wei family’s construction projects have been targeted. It must be because we offended Mister Xiao, and your Old School Society wants to find something against us,” Wei Wendong said with a bitter smile.

“Don’t worry, uncle. I will avenge my grandfather,” Yang Zinuo said.

“No, no, that won’t do. He’s the Branch Head, you’re the Deputy Branch Head, how can you fight him? This is our Wei family’s feud with him. If necessary, I will apologize to him. We can’t risk your future.”

“You’re still young, you have a great future ahead of you in Old School Society. A gentleman takes his revenge ten years later, it’s not too late for your uncle to wait for you to rise to prominence and then avenge your grandfather. Then, your grandfather’s spirit can rest in peace.”

“We can’t take any risks now,” Wei Wendong warned again.

Yang Zinuo smiled, “Do you think I’m not as good as Xiao Shun? Have you seen him fight?”

“He did have a bit of a conflict with Tianhua, but it was no different from a street brawl. Nothing special,” Wei Wendong recalled the situation when Xiao Shun had a fight with Wei Tianhua.

“I might not be his match,” Yang Zinuo said, a proud smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

Clang!

Sizzle…

Wei Wendong stared at her in disbelief. He watched as she crushed the teacup in her hand to powder. The white dust flowed out of her delicate palm and fell on the table. Yet her fair, tender hand remained unscathed. With calmness on her face, she pulled out a tissue from her pocket, wiped her hand, and then looked at Wei Wendong.

“Zinuo… what is…?” Wei Wendong stuttered in disbelief.

“What you have seen, Uncle, is just a small trick. Leave revenge on Grandpa to me.” Yang Zinuo put away her smile and spoke seriously: “I have a meeting later, so I have to go back to the company now. I won’t accompany you to chat.”

“Oh, okay, you go and get busy. Remember to visit us more often when you have time,” Wei Wendong still seemed a bit stunned.

Is this young girl in front of him really the same weak and gentle Yang Zinuo from before? It was hard to believe.

After seeing Yang Zinuo off, he returned to the hall, staring blankly at the pile of white powder on the table, and smiled contentedly.

In the future, the Wei family has another person to rely on. Xiao Shun, did you think nobody could touch you once you hid in Stillwater?

Golden Holding conference room.

Kou Zhengqing and another association elder, Ma Hong, as well as a number of high-level members of the association, are sitting squarely waiting for the new deputy branch head.

Soon, the door of the conference room is pushed open, and a young girl in her twenties appears in everyone’s field of vision.

Everyone is slightly taken aback.

Yang Zinuo’s gaze quickly swept over everyone, and she said solemnly: “You’re not mistaken, I am your new deputy branch head.”

As she spoke, she briskly walked to the forefront of the conference table but did not sit down directly.

She rested her hands on the edge of the table, leaned slightly forward, her chest stood proudly under the white stripes, and she looked down at everyone from a high position.

“To be frank, I don’t like this position. But since I’ve taken it, I will certainly do my duty and do my job well,” Yang Zinuo said with a cold face.

“We can start now.”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

After speaking, she pushed her glasses and sat down. Seeing that everyone was silent, she sighed imperceptibly.

“What’s the topic of this meeting? Surely it’s not just a welcoming ceremony?”

Kou Zhengqing’s face looked a bit ugly, and he said, “The main topic of this meeting is to discuss the police asking us to cooperate in arresting criminals, and then simplifying our procedures, as well as the summer Hero Cup events scheduled to be held in Oakland this year. This involves costs, venues, and some other unresolved issues, and…”

“Alright, it seems we have a lot of work piled up. Let’s take it one by one.” Yang Zinuo interrupted.

There were many trivial matters, and the meeting lasted until the evening.

The high-level members of the Old School Society saw the strong and assertive style of this young deputy branch head.

“It’s getting late. Let’s end today’s meeting here. Everyone else can leave. Mr. Kou and Mr. Ma, please stay. I have something to ask you,” Yang Zinuo said, closing the file.

Kou Zhengqing and Ma Hong looked at each other, and everyone else quickly left the conference room.

“I’ve looked at the files. Both of you have been in Oakland’s Old School Society for a long time. What do you think of our branch head?” Yang Zinuo asked straightforwardly.

“Mr. Kou, you go first,” she said, turning her gaze to Kou Zhengqing.

Kou Zhengqing seemed a bit embarrassed and said, “I’ve dealt with Mr. Xiao twice. He is humble and leaves a good impression. As for other aspects, I can’t comment much since we haven’t interacted much.”

“Is that so? But I heard that at a charity dinner, you led the association’s enterprises to endorse him, which shows that you have a good relationship,” Yang Zinuo said with a cold smile.
