Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1265 - 1264: Causing Trouble at the Xiao Group Entrance

"You’ve always managed your son’s money, and yet you say there’s no money. Exactly how much did your son embezzle from the Xiao Group? Don’t you have any idea? It’s one thing to gamble away that money, but you even helped out your nephew from your mother’s side. Did you really think I wouldn’t find out about this?"

At first, everyone thought Zhu Ya, as the daughter-in-law, was going too far, but upon hearing about the divorce, they started to find the old lady’s actions unreasonable. The daughter-in-law is already divorced, so why is she still meddling with her?

Upon hearing this, the old lady panicked immediately. Her gambling and helping out her nephew were things her son was unaware of, but now this wicked woman had exposed it all. What should she do?

She then glanced at her son, Zhang Shuai, who seemed thunderstruck, looking at his always respected mother in shock.

"Mom, is all of this true? Have you been using my money to help others? How could you do this? Don’t you know your son is now almost embroiled in a lawsuit? Can you help me get that money back, Mom? Why aren’t you saying anything?"

After hearing Zhang Shuai’s words, the old lady dryly opened her mouth and then placed her hands on her hips: "What’s the matter? It’s just a little money. I raised you this big, what’s wrong with taking some money from you? Besides, my nephew was really in trouble when he needed your money. Don’t worry, they will definitely pay it back. How can you argue with your mom over this? You must have been led astray by this wicked woman."

Everyone around them immediately began to change their perspective. They didn’t expect the old lady to take her son’s money to help her family, and wasn’t the son’s money supposed to be managed by the daughter-in-law?

Why is this mother interfering too? It seems the Finance Department Director at Xiao Group’s branch is just a mama’s boy. No wonder his wife divorced him.

At this moment, Zhang Shuai felt utterly humiliated.

Clenching his fists, he couldn’t believe he was facing such a situation—divorcing his wife and his mother not helping.

"Mom, you need to get that money back for me now."

Seeing her son’s twisted expression, the old lady panicked but didn’t want to admit defeat. Clutching her clothes, she nervously said, "It’s okay, isn’t Xiao Group very wealthy? How could they possibly hold this against you? So son, don’t worry. There’s no way you’ll be convicted. If they dare sue you, I’ll be sure to go against them. Rest assured."

After saying this, the old lady looked at the reporter beside her, who seemed petrified, as if hanging onto one last straw. She asked the female reporter next to her: "Right? Reporter, please tell my son not to be confused."

The reporter was at a loss for words, not expecting such a dramatic twist.

Seeing that the reporter didn’t say anything, the old lady anxiously mumbled to herself, "It’s okay, son. Trust me, heaven will give us justice. We’ve always done good deeds, how could we be so unlucky? Just relax."

At that moment, the Finance Department Director heard a voice that felt like a death sentence, wishing to dig a hole to hide.

"Justice, huh? If you want justice, go ask the police. The law is our ultimate justice."

Seeing Xu Ke emerge, people made way, and Zhu Ya was surprised. This was the president of Xiao Group’s branch, and he looked so young.

Upon seeing Xu Ke, Zhang Shuai’s face turned red. He had promised yesterday to bring the two million today, yet he had nothing to show.

Those who were still pleading for the old lady also went silent.

"Yes, what the president of Xiao Group’s branch said is right. The law is the best justice. Clearly, the Finance Department Director is guilty of embezzlement. I can’t bear to watch, let alone the president."

"Looks like the old lady is trying to pick a fight with the company. She’s really blind, and she’s hit a solid wall this time."

"Alright, let’s just quietly watch how this unfolds."

Zhang Shuai’s knees buckled as he’d reached a dead end: "President, please give me a little more time, I’ll definitely settle the company’s accounts. Please believe me."

Xu Ke looked at Zhang Shuai and shook his head, "You’ll never settle those accounts. After all, you have a vampire of a mother. She’s been sucking you dry like a leech, never letting go. As long as she doesn’t let up, you’ll never have any money."

Hearing Xu Ke’s words, Zhang Shuai looked at his mother with eyes devoid of emotion, replaced only by resentment, while the old lady felt even more wronged seeing her son’s expression.

"Son, you have to believe me, I absolutely didn’t. You can’t wrong me like this."

Disappointed, Zhang Shuai smashed his phone to the ground, "If you didn’t, then tell me where the money went. I’ve worked so hard for so many years, being frugal, only to have you give it all away. What am I to do now?"

Seeing her son like this, Zhang Shuai’s mother was indeed panicked, so she could only helplessly look towards the bystanders, pulling at her hair.

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, son, I’ll find a way for you, please forgive your mother, I’m begging you, it wasn’t deliberate. I’ll come up with a solution right now."

"Always playing cards with Aunt Zhang, her family is wealthy, right? Ask Aunt Zhang to lend it now, she’ll definitely lend the money to mom, so rest assured, mom will get the money for you."

Seeing his mother like this, the Finance Department Director was indeed disappointed. He once thought his mother would repent, but she hadn’t changed one bit.

Even in this situation, she was focused only on gambling. With this thought, his disappointment deepened.

"So when will you actually do it? Are you still not getting that money? If you don’t, I’ll ask my brother for it."

Witnessing the bickering between mother and son, Xu Ke had no desire to watch more, so he turned to leave, but the reporter blocked his way.

"Mr. Xu Ke, with such a major issue in your company, how do you plan to resolve it? Will you have him arrested or give him another chance? After all, he has been with Xiao Group for many years."
