Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1389: Standing Firm Against Opposition

The old man in the back row listened to the conversation between the two people in front, knowing that in this lifetime, perhaps the Hu Family girl was wronged because of his son’s affairs, but even more wronged was Wang Cuixia, who gave birth to Xu Ke. Wang Cuixia was a renowned beauty in her time.

Thinking about Wang Cuixia’s hardships back then, the old man couldn’t help but sigh. In those days, Wang Cuixia was merely a child, having not yet developed her own influence, still nestled in her parents’ arms, acting spoiled.

At that time, the Wang Group was comparable to the Xu Group, and their reputation was extraordinarily large. However, unexpectedly, an economic crisis arose, and Wang Cuixia was particularly anxious. Despite trying everything, there was no solution for the Wang Group.

Wang Cuixia’s parents also passed away one after another due to the blow suffered by the group, leaving Wang Cuixia melancholic about the whole matter.

It was during this time that Wang Cuixia met the wealthy young master, Xu Hua. The two quickly fell into a whirlwind romance, but upon learning that Xu Hua had a fiancée, Wang Cuixia, who had received a higher education, could not possibly ruin another’s family. So, Wang Cuixia chose to withdraw immediately.

Wang Cuixia looked at Xu Long at the time and said nothing, simply stroking her belly, silently shedding tears.

Xu Long merely thought the young girl was a bit heartbroken; however, he never expected that at that time, Wang Cuixia was already carrying Xu Ke. If he knew Wang Cuixia was pregnant, Xu Long would have tried every means — even if it meant offending Hu Jia — to marry Wang Cuixia into the family. The fact that mother and child endured so much suffering over the years was indeed his mistake.

Not knowing whether the son is aware of this matter, he feared that his son would be even less likely to forgive him if he knew. Thinking of this, Xu Long couldn’t help but feel tearful.

"Alright, you guys go and look in the foreign country. Remember, notify me immediately once you find Wang Cuixia, but don’t act rashly. She won’t listen to you. How could such a spirited woman listen to others? I don’t know if I still have any presence in front of her."

In her youth, Wang Cuixia had a particularly bold spirit. Even though many young noblemen in the capital pursued her, she looked down on them. Not only Wang Cuixia but also her parents were unwilling to lower their heads. Even when many tried to offer help as the Wang Group encountered difficulties, Wang Cuixia’s parents remained proud, unwilling to accept charity.

"Alright, old man, we know. Besides, we’re afraid we can’t manage her. After all these years, we don’t know if life has smoothed the temperament of the young lady. When she was young, not only us, but even you couldn’t do anything if she decided to leave without a word."

Thinking of this, the driver couldn’t help but sigh. After Wang Cuixia left, Xu Hua seemed like he lost all support in life, existing in mere form, akin to a walking corpse despite being alive and breathing.

Even as the Hu Family girl tried to please him, Xu Hua never seemed to notice. Moreover, he often secluded himself in his room, sometimes even contemplating becoming a monk. If it weren’t for the old man’s intervention, the young master might have abandoned everything by now.

"Alright, it’s not the time to blame him. If he were really ruthless, he wouldn’t have left this child. I’m genuinely grateful to him. If it weren’t for him, the Xu Family might have no heir. It’s thanks to him that our family still has this child, and there’s hope now."

If Wang Cuixia were truly ruthless, she could have aborted the child, and no one would have blamed her. After all, Wang Cuixia lost the support of the Wang Group and had no means. Retaining this child was an act of great sacrifice.

In this regard, Xu Long was especially grateful to Wang Cuixia.

Meanwhile, Wang Cuixia in a foreign country never expected Xu Long would someday be thankful to her.

However, Yu Hao, upon finding out Xiao Keyi was engaged, was not deterred. Still, Yu Group was now overwhelmed by affairs.

"President, what should we do? All the businesses we released were snatched by the Xiao Group. Moreover, whenever we engage in a venture, the Xiao Group always opposes us. Continuing like this, our industry might suffer blows. What can we do?"

At this time, a department manager spoke, his head lowered for fear of Yu Hao’s anger. Lately, Yu Hao has been very temperamental, getting angry over any mishaps reported to him and dismissing everyone’s presence.

The department manager was most frightened now, and upon hearing this, Yu Hao felt a throbbing headache. Who could have imagined such a problem would arise at this critical juncture?

A few days back, his mother suddenly misspoke, argued with his father, and now they were in a cold war. His father’s demeanor towards him grew distant, the father seemingly investigating something and suddenly tightening control over the company. If the father aims to reclaim the company’s power, now is not the time for Yu Hao to hold control.

Thus, Yu Hao was exceptionally anxious, unhappy with the current predicament, so he directly tossed the files on his desk.

"What are you all doing? You allowed this issue to arise; didn’t I say before? The Xiao Group’s animation and games were supposed to be suppressed by us, yet you haven’t accomplished that. What are you here for, getting paid for doing nothing? If that’s the case, you might as well leave early instead of idling here."

But upon examining the files, Yu Hao’s eyes widened. Their animation was well-made, involving huge expenditures. Just the special effects cost quite a sum, yet it wasn’t surpassing the Xiao Group’s animation.

Yu Hao felt unsteady upon seeing this, having invested most of the company’s money. If this remains unrecognized by the company, and the father discovers something, getting away unscathed would be quite challenging. Thinking of this, Yu Hao couldn’t help but tremble.

"President, we’ve worked hard on this matter, but everyone is leaning towards the Xiao Group’s animation. After all, the animation they released is indeed quite stirring. Moreover, they hired the famous star Jiang Na, who is now immensely popular; Yang Meili has long been surpassed, now embroiled in scandals, bringing no benefit to our animation, even causing certain impacts."
