“Oh! Isn’t this Mrs. Han? We just met last night. How can it be so coincidental that we run into one another here again?” Xia You said sarcastically.

“Oh, you’ve met before. I thought that you don’t know one another!” Zhou Jin said.

“You ?Why are you here?” Du Juan asked in surprise.

Qiao Mei leaned back on the sofa and said casually, “Because the Zhou family and our Xia family are about to become in-laws!”

“What! Impossible! You must be lying to me!” Du Juan said in shock.

“Why would we lie to you? Auntie Zhou’s eldest daughter, Zhou Xi, is my younger brother’s girlfriend. The two of them have been dating since their university days,” Xia You said.

The supposed marriage between Han Chen and the Zhou family’s daughter was actually a joke that Han Kuo and Zhou Duo had made when having drinks. Who would decide on the children’s marriage in such a hasty manner? Only a person like Han Kuo would take things mentioned at a drinking session so seriously.

The Zhou family was a very successful family and many people had their eyes on the Zhou family’s assets. In order to protect his daughter, Zhou Duo had sent her to live with her grandparents in the countryside since she was young. During the new year and festive seasons, the family would go to the villa in the suburbs to stay for a short period of time.

Until now, most people did not know what the Zhou family’s daughter looked like or what her name was. Everyone could only try to rely on their memories to guess her age now.

Recently, Xia Yuan and Zhou Xi had talked about getting married in the future. After Zhou Xi discussed it with her family, she told Xia Yuan about her family background. In the beginning, the Xia family had also thought of investigating Zhou Xi’s background. With Yao Nian’s ability, it would not be difficult for him to find out more information about Zhou Xi. However, an investigation like that would also alert the Zhou family about what they were trying to do.

Therefore, Yao Nian only listed down superficial details of Zhou Xi’s life. On the last page, Yao Nian wrote down three words, “to be confirmed” and Qiao Mei immediately understood what Yao Nian meant.

“Zhou Jin! How dare you lie to me!” Du Juan said angrily.

“What did I lie to you about? From the beginning to the end, I have never agreed to let my daughter marry into your family. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the other ladies who were present that day to come and testify! It’s your Han family who go around telling your own version of the story and spreading it widely. It’s already good enough that I haven’t held your family responsible for doing this!” Zhou Jin said.

Now that Du Juan had run out of options, she was in complete despair. She fell to the floor helplessly. It was going to be the end of the road for the Han family. She had never expected such an outcome.

Qiao Mei walked over to Du Juan and squatted down beside her. She smiled and said, “I’ll give you three more days. Once the time is up, your company will be under my name. If you have any valuable items, sell them off quickly. You might still be able to delay it for a few more days!”

“Cousin-in-law, there’s no need for you to do anything about this matter. My husband has long felt that our current office is not grand enough and he’s still thinking about where we can relocate our head office! What a nice coincidence! The last time I went to the Han Corporation, I felt that their office was decorated very stylishly! We can move there!” Xia You said.

“Alright, then we’ll do it that way. I’ll take over their businesses and you can buy their office building,” Qiao Mei said.

“No problem!” Xia You said happily.

When they talked about acquiring the Han Corporation, they looked very relaxed, as if they were talking about buying a cabbage by the roadside.

Du Juan returned to her own house dejectedly from the Zhou family’s house. She rushed around crazily and put all her jewelry into a box. She had decided to run away! The Han family still had so much debt! She did not want to have to bear such huge debts for the rest of her life!

Han Kuo had already transferred all the cash out of the company’s account. The entire company was now only an empty shell! In order to shirk the responsibility, the two of them had long changed the legal representative of the company to Han Chen. If the company made money, it would go to them. However, if there were any losses, it would be Han Chen’s debt and had nothing to do with them.

“Elder Brother, Mother and Father have already left. Why aren’t you leaving yet?” Han Lin sat on the stairs and looked at Han Chen aggrievedly.

“Elder Brother is not leaving. I have to stay behind to deal with these things,” Han Chen said gently.

“Have our parents abandoned us?” Han Lin asked fearfully.

Han Lin had been pampered since she was young and she grew up to be a very arrogant girl. However, she was still just a 15-year-old girl after all and did not know anything about the internal strife in her family.
