“How how is this possible? How can the Xia family have businesses overseas? Given their status, the government won’t allow them to do that!” Du Juan said agitatedly.
“Yes, they can’t do business overseas, but their relatives can. Do you know the background of Qiao Mei’s maternal family? Qiao Mei’s grandmother was a member of the famous Gao family in Hu City! That Gao family who were among the first people to go overseas!” Han Chen roared.
Du Juan collapsed into the chair. Everyone knew of the Gao family. That was the richest family in the country decades ago. If not for the fact that the Gao family left Hu City to go overseas, the He family would not have been able to take advantage of those chaotic times and grasp the business opportunities to get rich. At that time, no one had even heard of the He family!
She had actually wanted to find out about the owners behind all these businesses, but she could not find the details no matter how she tried. As time passed, she did not follow up on the matter and had never once thought that these businesses could be related to the Xia family.
What she did not know was that the most capable private investigator in the country was working for the Xia family. Yao Nian was like an owl released by the Xia family. He went around collecting information, but he also made sure that no one could find any information about the Xia family.
“Then then will they take revenge on us?” Han Lin said fearfully.
“Take revenge? You’d better pack your things and prepare to move out. It won’t be long before our company will have to change its name to Qiao Corporation,” Han Chen said indifferently.
The truth was that he could not wait for Qiao Mei to acquire the Han Corporation so that the heavy burden could be lifted from his shoulders. He wanted to cut ties with the Han family and start over again with nothing. That way, he would still have a chance to be with Qian’e.
“Elder Brother! Our family can’t go bankrupt! Otherwise, what will my friends think of me! I already told them that I would rent the entire amusement park for them to have fun!” Han Lin said.
“Hurry up and think of a way! Isn’t she your girlfriend? Go and coax her and buy her a few bags! You can even buy her a house! Whatever she wants! Buy her everything she wants!” Du Juan said anxiously.
“Since you’re so resourceful, why do you need me? If you need anything, just go and look for the Zhou family. Didn’t they make an agreement with you?” Han Chen said.
Right! There was still the Zhou family! If the Han family joined forces with the Zhou family, they would definitely be able to deal with Qiao Mei! Even if Qiao Mei managed to acquire the Han Corporation in the end, she would not be able to escape unscathed! At most, they would fight her to the death!
Du Juan hurriedly ran to the reception area to make a call to the Zhou family. The Zhou family’s butler picked up the phone and said, “This is the Zhou family residence. May I ask who you are looking for?”
“I’m Han Kuo’s wife, Du Juan. I want to talk to Mrs. Zhou. I wonder if it’s a convenient time for her?” Du Juan asked.
“I see, it’s Mrs. Han. I’m really sorry. Our Madam is busy now and it’s not convenient for her to take your call. Our Madam will call you back when she has time,” the butler said.
“I just need one minute! I have a very urgent matter! Please relay this message to her,” Du Juan said.
“I’m really sorry, Mrs. Han. Our Madam is really very busy and doesn’t have time to take your call. I have to go and attend to my work. Goodbye.” With that, the Zhou family butler hung up the phone.
It was already late today and Du Juan could not go to Mrs. Zhou’s house to ask to have a chat. She could only leave things at that for now. Tomorrow morning, she must see Mrs. Zhou and get Mrs. Zhou’s help no matter what. Otherwise, the Han family would really be in trouble.
Early the next morning, Du Juan asked Xiao Kai to drive her to the Zhou family’s house. The Zhou family’s villa was bustling with activity and the living hall on the first floor was filled with people. Mrs. Zhou was playing mahjong with a group of people!
“Open the door! I want to see Mrs. Zhou!” Du Juan shouted from the door.
The Zhou family’s butler came out and said, “Mrs. Han, the family is hosting some esteemed guests today and it’s not convenient for our Madam to meet you. You should go back. When our Madam is free, she will definitely invite you over.”
“Mrs. Zhou and I are good friends. There are no gatherings that I can’t attend! I have to see her today! Move aside!” Du Juan made a move to barge into the house after saying that.
Xiao Kai rushed forward to restrain the butler and Du Juan successfully made her way into the Zhou family’s villa. When the people inside heard the commotion, they all turned to stare at the main door. Du Juan stood at the edge of the living hall in shock. She did not expect the esteemed guests whom Mrs. Zhou was hosting to be from the Xia family!
