Chapter 343: Give Some Money and Send Away
Seeing him drop his breezy facade, Dongfang Yi knew he was not indifferent to the Corporation and said, “You should deal with all these scandals promptly. Your position will only be secure if you have marital ties with the Cui Family.”
“The moment you get engaged to Cui Shuqian, you will rightfully take the position of CEO. Then neither your grandfather nor the Corporation’s veterans can object to you.”
“Without the Cui Family to back you, you, on your own, will struggle to win the support of the Corporation. Your aunt tried to seize control of the Corporation from me, but in the end, she is a woman that’ll be married off, and your grandfather didn’t let her be part of the Corporation.”
“Now, she is sending her son to fulfill her old ambitions, and your cousin is even more ambitious than your aunt. You need to pull yourself together, don’t let the mother-son duo snatch the Corporation from you, understand?”
Dongfang Mu was growing frustrated hearing all this.
It all boils down to him needing to marry Cui Shuqian!
“I don’t like Cui Shuqian. I don’t need the Cui Family’s help. I am perfectly capable of running the Corporation right now. I already have support!”
Dongfang Yi’s head began to throb again in frustration: “What support do you have? Can it be publicly acknowledged? Your cousin’s alliance with the Gu Family, now that’s what I call support! Without a good in-law family, your grandfather won’t let you take over the Corporation!”
Dongfang Mu was tired of listening and left the study, heading straight back to his bedroom to sleep.
Watching him leave, Dongfang Yi’s face darkened for a while. Then he retreated to his bedroom and told his wife: “Look into it. Pay off whichever woman that’s been getting close to Mu recently and send her packing. Mu is currently negotiating marriage matters with the Cui Family’s girl, we can’t afford any mishap during this time!”
“Alright, I understand. Don’t worry; I’ll handle it.”
The following morning.
Qiao Yin received a text on her mobile phone.
“Miss Qiao, will it be convenient for you to meet? I am Dongfang Mu’s mother. There’s something I want to discuss with you.”
Qiao Yin was startled.
Dongfang Mu’s mother?
Why is she looking for her?
Before she could figure out what was happening, her door was “knocked” loudly.
Along with the knock came Qiao Haidong’s loud, angry voice.
“Qiao Yin, Open the door! Your brother is missing again!”
“Qiao Yin, what exactly did you say to him? Why did he run away from home again!”
“Qiao Yin, come out!”
Qiao Yin hurriedly went to open the door, her eyebrows furrowed: “Did Jiasen go to the shady agency again?”
The anger was clear on Qiao Haidong’s face: “Do you have the audacity to ask me that? Jiasen has taken all his clothes with him this time! Tell me, was it your doing?!”
“Are you out of your mind? I clearly sent him home yesterday. Why would I bother doing that, if I was up to something?”
“Then why did he leave again? What did you say to him yesterday?!”
“What else could I say? Of course, I told him to study hard.”
Qiao Yin was both angry and worried: “Stop arguing with me here, you should go. I’ll go look for him once more. I already know where that shady agency is!” “We don’t need you to pretend here! You must want to ruin him and ruin me. It must be you who incited him to go to the shady agency!”
Qiao Yin didn’t want to talk to him anymore. His paranoia was getting out of hand!
She slammed the door shut, leaving Qiao Haidong outside. Then she returned to her room and changed her clothes.
After informing her grandmother, she drove off.
An hour later, she arrived at Dust-Free Household Administrations.
She returned to the elevator she had taken the day before but found out that an authorised card was required to reach the third basement floor due to the system setup.
However, this didn’t deter Qiao Yin.
She returned to her car and pulled out the laptop she always carried with her.
Three minutes later, she had broken through the elevator access control system.
She closed her laptop, got off the car and entered the elevator again. This time, she didn’t need an authorized card to press the button for the third basement floor..
