Chapter 1881: Too Arrogant
“You fool, I’m your husband! If I don’t treat you well, who will?”
In the front hall, Grandma Pei was at a loss for words. She had completely lost all her dignity.
Old Master Chi, who had been unhappy and silent before, was now grinning widely as he ate all the fruits and pastries that Nangong Nuannuan served him. He then reached out to take some more pastries, but she stopped him, telling him not to eat too many sweets.
His granddaughter-in-law was so strict, but Old Master Chi and Chi Yang looked happy. Everyone knew that Nangong Nuannuan was not only a successful businessman, but her status in the Chi family was also commendable.
Old Master Ning had initially wanted to complain to Old Master Chi. He wanted to tell him that Nangong Nuannuan had ordered him to ban the Hengliang Group, which was under the Ning group, over a small matter.
However, seeing how Nangong Nuannuan was so favored, Old Master Ning tactfully swallowed his words. After going over the conversation in his head, he spoke directly said to Chi Yang and Nangong Nuannuan. “Chairman Nangong, I already know about Yuan Anmin’s incident. His son, Yuan Mingbo, got too big for his britches at school and bullied your nephew, Nangong Xu. In the end, his parents hit Nangong Xu for no reason—meaning the family has angered you twice.
“I’m deeply sorry about this matter. Even though I’m not familiar with this person, he’s the vice-chairman of the Hengliang Group and a member of the Ning Group. Therefore, I agree with Lieutenant General Chi’s and Chairman Nangong’s punishment of depriving Yuan Anmin of his shares. Such a person can’t discipline his son or even himself well! What right does he have to manage a listed group? Such a person is a worm of society and the scum of humanity!”
Nangong Nuannuan smiled. “Old Master Ning is indeed clear on the differences between right and wrong.”
Ning Zhennan looked at her and laughed bitterly. “But, Chairman Nangong, the Hengliang Group is the only listed company under my daughter-in-law. It is a large-scale real estate company with a good reputation. My daughter-in-law spent 20 years growing the company and getting it into the public eye. You too own a company, so you know that it is not easy to manage one.
“In the past two months, your Imperial Phoenix Group has been pulling down the Hengliang Group, resulting in five large-scale losses. The net profit from these deals would have amounted to 200 million yuan. Initially, I wanted to come to you to ask for mercy, but I also know that if you don’t punish them, you won’t be satisfied.
“Now, Yuan Anmin has been completely removed from the Hengliang Group. The group has forcefully repossessed all properties that were under his name. I wonder if the losses faced by the Hengliang Group over the past two months have satisfied Chairman Nangong?”
The harmless little rabbit, who had been acting cute in front of Old Master Chi just a moment ago, now had a slight smile on her lips. Even if she did not say anything in response to Old Master Ning’s somewhat humble words, her arrogance was clear from her expression. She did not have the humility and magnanimity a junior should have toward a senior.
“I remember that I said that I wanted the Hengliang Group to go bankrupt.”
Faced with Nangong Nuannuan’s blade-like cold smile, the group of elders present could not help but shiver.
What kind of granddaughter-in-law had the Chi family taken in?
As these people were all either friends or relatives of the Shi family, they did not know Nangong Nuannuan very well. Therefore, they were appalled when they saw how arrogant she was. They knew that she was the chairman of the Imperial Phoenix Group, but even then, she was currently facing the old master of the Ning family!
