Chapter 687: Chapter 687: Encountering Splendid Auspiciousness (21)
Mrs. Xiao was cursing on that side, while Chuzheng kept her head down, fumbling with her phone.
The surrounding employees didn’t dare make a sound, their gazes shifting back and forth between Chuzheng and Mrs. Xiao.
What Mrs. Xiao said matched the rumors they had heard before.
Chuzheng suddenly beca their boss, which was strange enough… perhaps it was just as Mrs. Xiao claid, she slept her way to the top.
“My son has been with you for so many years, wasting so much ti on you, not to ntion you’re heartless, but you also want to ruin his career! You’re trying to ruin his entire life!”
“That can’t be true, right? The boss isn’t that kind of person.” Employee Number One was sowhat incredulous, thinking how nice their boss was.
“Not necessarily. Maybe the boss did kick out the poor boyfriend and went off with soone better.” Employee Number Two murmured in rebuttal.
“I heard from a colleague in the creative departnt that the boss’s boyfriend used to send her flowers…”
“Did the boss really cheat? And suppress her ex-boyfriend? Is the boss that ruthless?”
The employees discussed in low voices.
As for Mrs. Xiao’s claim that Chuzheng cheated with another man, causing her son to wear a green hat, so believed it, so didn’t.
“What do you want?” Chuzheng finally lifted her eyes from the screen of her phone.
“Compensation!” Mrs. Xiao blurted out: “You must compensate, my son took care of you for so many years, you owe him for emotional distress!”
“How much do you want?” Chuzheng asked politely.
Mrs. Xiao probably didn’t expect Chuzheng to be so agreeable: “Fifty… one million!!”
Hiss—
The office breathed in sharply.
Asking for a million right off the bat was terrifying.
Could she be here to extort money?
Mrs. Xiao was indeed here to extort money; she knew from Xiao Ze that Chuzheng was now the owner of a prestigious company, and regardless of how she got there, she must be wealthy.
After hearing this, Mrs. Xiao’s mind beca more active.
Originally she had only planned to ask for half a million, but seeing how anable Chuzheng was, Mrs. Xiao doubled it on the spot.
“Just a mont.”
Chuzheng stood up and went into her office.
As soon as Chuzheng left, the employees who had been keeping their voices down suddenly engaged in lively discussion.
Mrs. Xiao fanned the flas at the side, centing Chuzheng’s guilt.
Wan Xiaoxiao followed Chuzheng into the office.
She heard Chuzheng muttering sothing about breaking the law…
But Chuzheng only muttered that briefly, and Wan Xiaoxiao didn’t catch it all; when Chuzheng turned around, her face was still filled with indifference.
“President Jin…” Wan Xiaoxiao glanced outside: “Is she trying to blackmail you?”
Wan Xiaoxiao didn’t dare ask her if she had indeed taken a lover after breaking up with Xiao Ze.
She wasn’t eager to be fired.
“What’s the number for the ntal hospital?”
Chuzheng asked Wan Xiaoxiao, still fumbling with her phone, as if she didn’t hear the previous question.
Wan Xiaoxiao: “???”
Why would she be looking up the number for a ntal hospital now? Has President Jin gone mad?
But Wan Xiaoxiao actually had it.
–
“Ah Ze, sorry to trouble you to make the trip.”
In the café, Ning Jing looked apologetically at the man across from her.
“It’s okay, I was nearby.” Xiao Ze was looking sowhat haggard, his voice raspy: “Is your foot okay?”
“It’s fine, it feels much better.”
Ning Jing had twisted her ankle and had called him; Xiao Ze had just happened to be nearby and ca over.
“Ah Ze, you and Zhengzheng…” Ning Jing asked tentatively.
Xiao Ze frowned, thinking of the recent humiliations, and suddenly anger rose in his heart, “It’s over between her and .”
Ning Jing felt a surge of joy inside her, but her face showed great concern, “Ah Ze, don’t be too sad… I don’t know what’s gotten into Zhengzheng, she’s blocked too. I can’t find her…”
Ning Jing sounded more and more aggrieved as she spoke.
“Let’s not talk about her.” Xiao Ze didn’t want to discuss it further, “You’ve been visiting my mother frequently these days, thank you.”
“It’s nothing… Aren’t you at work? I was worried Auntie would be bored here by herself, and since I’ve been pretty free lately, I thought I’d co over to check on her. Just don’t be mad at for being nosy…”
“Of course not.”
Xiao Ze glanced at the girl sitting across from him.
Ning Jing wasn’t very pretty, but she ca from a wealthy family. Dressed in fine clothes and with her makeup, Ning Jing stood out much more than the average person.
Just as Xiao Ze and Ning Jing were chatting animatedly, Xiao Ze suddenly received a phone call.
“Ning Jing, I’m sorry, sothing has happened to my mother, I have to go,” said Xiao Ze.
Ning Jing’s expression imdiately turned anxious, “What happened? I’ll co with you.”
Xiao Ze shook his head, “No need, you hurt your foot. Have your friends co pick you up.”
Xiao Ze didn’t let Ning Jing follow and rushed off to Chuzheng’s company.
The first thing Xiao Ze saw wasn’t his mother, but several doctors and nurses in white coats. Thinking back to the ntal hospital vehicle he saw downstairs, Xiao Ze’s expression instantly soured.
“Son, son, this woman is actually trying to send to a ntal hospital!!” Mrs. Xiao yelled out loud when she saw Xiao Ze.
“Jin Chuzheng, what are you doing!” Xiao Ze rushed forward, pushing the doctors and nurses aside.
Chuzheng was still sitting in the chair, legs crossed, fingers resting on her knee, exuding a commanding presence.
“She, she wants to send to a ntal hospital!” With Xiao Ze’s arrival, Mrs. Xiao seed to have found her backbone, and she started complaining, “This malicious woman, she’s the crazy one. Son, you must stand up for your mother. You can’t let her treat your mom this way.”
Chuzheng spoke in an indifferent tone, “She ca to my company making a scene and refused to listen to reason. If you’re sick, you get treated. Calling a doctor isn’t going to cost anything.”
Doctor: “…” Calling a doctor might not cost anything, but treatnt does! Don’t mislead people here!
“How could you do such a thing, my mom is fine, what sickness does she have?” Xiao Ze looked at Chuzheng heartbrokenly, almost failing to recognize the person before him.
Chuzheng’s face was cold, “Look at what she did to my employee?”
As soon as Chuzheng finished speaking, the employees who had been scratched by Mrs. Xiao stepped forward to reveal their wounds.
Mrs. Xiao, who worked on farms in the countryside, needless to say, was strong.
When she threw a tantrum, no one could stop her.
Several employees were scratched to the point of bleeding.
Xiao Ze felt short of breath looking at those injuries.
Chuzheng continued, “Your mother tried to extort a million from . You can choose to go with the doctor or choose to have call the police right now.”
“Ptui, when did I ever extort you, you shaless woman, don’t spout nonsense here!” Mrs. Xiao spat.
Chuzheng calmly stretched out her hand backwards, and Wan Xiaoxiao, sycophantically, placed a cellphone into her palm.
Chuzheng fiddled with it, and the voices of Mrs. Xiao and Chuzheng played out from the phone.
——Compensation! You must compensate, my son has taken care of you for so many years, you owe for emotional distress!
——How much do you want?
——Fifty… a million!!
“This already constitutes the cri of extortion. Even if it’s not enough for a prison sentence, it’s enough to get your mother detained for a few days,” Chuzheng said slowly. “Mr. Xiao, do you choose to go to the hospital, or do you choose to call the police?”
The choice was given to him.
It was up to him.
But clearly, Chuzheng was threatening Xiao Ze.
Everyone present could understand this.
Xiao Ze was all too aware.
Extorting a million… Xiao Ze felt sowhat intimidated. Even if this didn’t hold up, Mrs. Xiao might still be tornted by the ordeal, and what was worse, if word got out, everyone would know he had a mother who extorted others.
