Chapter 964: Shameless Zhu Cong!

Chapter 964: Chapter 964: Shameless Zhu Cong!

Li Qingyan and Ye Fei both frowned.

This Zhu Cong is way too much, isn’t he? Humiliating his own wife Bai Xue like this in front of outsiders?

Sure enough, Bai Xue isn’t living a good life in the Zhu Family.

The way Zhu Cong talks is practically like he’s talking to a servant.

No, some bosses even speak politely to their servants, so what the hell is this?

They originally thought Bai Xue would get mad, but instead Bai Xue forced a smile and said, "Honey, I just invited my friends out for a meal, the private room is already booked."

"So what if it’s booked? Can’t you cancel it? What kind of shady friends are you trying to make? I’m telling you, today our Zhu Family is entertaining distinguished guests here, it’s the seven families whose status is the most stable among the top ten families in Sea City. If they see you looking like this and mess up our Zhu Family’s chance to get into the top ten families, I’ll beat you to death!"

Zhu Cong’s words were getting more and more out of line.

Li Qingyan wanted to speak, but Ye Fei stopped her.

After all, this is someone else’s family business; it’s not their place to interfere, and they don’t really know the whole situation.

So, swallowing her anger, Li Qingyan took out that Elixir, carefully packaged in a little box, and handed it to Bai Xue. "Since he won’t give us face, then we won’t eat. But you still have to accept this gift."

Bai Xue had just reached out to take the gift.

But Zhu Cong grabbed it from her in one swipe.

He directly threw it onto the floor. "What shitty gift, our Zhu Family doesn’t care for it, and my wife doesn’t care for it either!"

There was blatant contempt in his eyes.

The Zhu Family’s wealth is already on par with the top ten families.

There’s no way someone like him could recognize the value of a gift from Li Qingyan. He thought it was some crappy Medicine Pills and just tossed it away.

"Honey, this is a token of my friend’s goodwill, what are you doing!"

Bai Xue hurriedly picked it up, unable to hold herself back.

"Smack!"

Zhu Cong slapped her right across the face. "You bitch, don’t you know what those shady friends of yours are thinking? They give you some shitty gift hoping to cling to our Zhu Family and then soar to the top?

They’re dreaming!

Next time, open your eyes wide and don’t make friends with just anyone!

As the daughter-in-law of our Zhu Family, even if you’re a bit ugly and a bit useless, don’t go smearing shit on our Zhu Family’s face."

In his eyes, Li Qingyan and Ye Fei were just using Bai Xue to latch onto the Zhu Family.

Many people who’ve managed to latch onto the Zhu Family have gotten rich.

These two would be no exception.

He’d seen plenty of people like them.

"You’re way out of line, how can you hit your own wife in broad daylight! And you’re smashing someone else’s gift—it’s not even for you! Do you know how much that thing is worth?"

Li Qingyan snapped.

Zhu Cong glanced at Li Qingyan with disdain and said, "She’s my wife, I’ll hit her if I feel like it, what about it? Call the cops and have me arrested! And that shitty Medicine Pills of yours, how much could it possibly be worth?"

"That is not some shitty Medicine Pills, it’s a First Level Elixir, Little Huandan, produced by Qifei Group, worth a million! Even if your Zhu Family is loaded, you shouldn’t waste it like this. I can tell Bai Xue’s health isn’t good. If she takes this, it might help condition her body."

Li Qingyan said.

"What?"

Zhu Cong glanced at the box in Bai Xue’s hand and suddenly got interested. "It’s really a First Level Little Huandan from Qifei Group?"

"It’s real!"

Ye Fei also nodded.

"Good, I’ll take this then!"

Zhu Cong snatched the box and stuffed it into his own pocket. This kind of Little Huandan isn’t easy to buy on the market; even with money you might not get it.

So he set his sights on it.

"Ahem, Bai Xue, give me your card."

Zhu Cong said.

Bai Xue handed her card over to him.

Zhu Cong slipped it straight into his own pocket, then used his phone to transfer one thousand yuan to Bai Xue. "Just treat them casually, don’t spend more than a thousand. I have to go in and discuss the Zhu Family’s business with the Family Heads of the top ten families. You’d better not come out."

Hearing this, Li Qingyan was completely stunned.

He took her gift worth a million, yet insists the meal mustn’t exceed one thousand?

In a high-end hotel like this, what can you even eat with a thousand? It’s not some small diner.

Besides, the gap between a million and a thousand is just insane.

He doesn’t even have to give tens of thousands, but at least ten thousand, right?

Bai Xue’s cheeks flushed with shame. She looked at Zhu Cong and said, "Honey, give me a bit more. I haven’t seen my friends in years, I want to order a decent bottle of red. Give me thirty thousand."

"Are you fucking sick?"

Zhu Cong cursed outright. "Do you not know how hard it is to make money? Look at those common folks—spending one or two hundred on a meal already hurts them. I gave you a thousand and you’re still not satisfied?

Besides, are the two of them worthy of drinking wine that costs tens of thousands?"

Bai Xue frowned slightly and said, "Honey, you don’t understand, the two of them are not ordinary people, they are...!"

But before she could finish, Zhu Cong shoved her away. "I don’t have time to listen to you introduce two beggars. I’ve got serious business to handle. A thousand—take it or leave it!"

At this moment, another person walked over, it was Zhu Cong’s older brother. He smiled and said, "Bai Xue, Bai Xue, usually it’s one thing if you don’t know any better.

But today is a crucial day for the Zhu Family. If we take good care of the top ten families, our Zhu Family will definitely be able to rise to the First Layer.

It’s just a meal, a thousand is more than enough.

If you think the Sea City Grand Hotel is too pricey, go eat across the street at the restaurant there. With two hundred you can eat really well and still have money left over."

This big brother of Zhu Cong used to be nothing but a ruined good-for-nothing, and now he’s actually become a manager, occupying the Bai Family’s assets on top of that.

In the past, he was very respectful in front of Bai Xue, and Bai Xue had helped him a lot.

But now he actually dares to yell at Bai Xue, mocking and ridiculing her.

Bai Xue clenched her teeth, not daring to talk back, and could only lead Ye Fei and Li Qingyan into the hotel.

She used to be a proud, confident woman, but now reality has bent her spine. For the sake of her parents, she has no choice but to be meek and submissive, she doesn’t even dare say a single strong word.

There’s nothing she can do!

"Yanyan, Director Ye, I’m sorry, this is how things are for me now. I thought I still had some connections and could help you, but it seems I can’t. I don’t even have the freedom to treat you to a proper meal."

Bai Xue bit her lip, almost bursting into tears.

But in the end she held it back. Maybe she’s been through this kind of thing too many times and has already gotten used to it.

Li Qingyan and Ye Fei were initially furious. Their Qifei Group is now the largest pharmaceutical company in Jingnan Prefecture. For the Zhu Family to treat them like this, of course they were annoyed.

However, seeing Bai Xue like this, they couldn’t bring themselves to say anything.

In fact, the one who’s hurting the most is Bai Xue.

"Bai Xue, it’s fine. If you can’t help, then you can’t. We’re friends, you don’t need to say that kind of thing." Li Qingyan held Bai Xue’s hand and said, "I can see you’re really unhappy now. Why don’t you just divorce that Zhu Cong and live your own life!"
