Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife

Chapter 577 - 576: No One Dares to Provoke Her (One More)

When Yang Sheng came back in the evening and found out he had missed a heartwarming marriage proposal, he repeatedly blamed Ji Rui for not being loyal and not considering him, the brother-in-law.Ji Rui smiled without saying anything, just placed some food in Le Tong’s bowl according to her preference, and upon hearing Baobao’s complaint about favoritism, he also put some meat in the little one’s bowl.

Yang Sheng, mimicking Baobao’s manner, demanded some too, to which Ji Rui gave him a faint glance, "Brother-in-law, how can you hold a grudge like a six-year-old child?"

Yang Sheng was choked by his words and complained to Le Tong, "Tsk tsk, sister, look at the kind of husband you found..." After the teasing, he stopped pestering Ji Rui and obediently helped himself.

With Ji Rui’s family joining, dinner became quite lively, and the Old Master enjoyed his meal thoroughly. After dinner, Baobao and Nuonuo were tightly bundled and escorted by Uncle Jing and Aunt Wang to Garden City for a walk with the Old Master.

Meanwhile, Ji Rui, Le Tong, and Yang Sheng went into the study to discuss business.

The three of them felt as if they were back working at the Ji Family, only this time, they were not in a superior-subordinate relationship, but as family and business partners.

Like at the Ji Family, Le Tong took the initiative to brew coffee, and the three sat in the small living room of the study sipping coffee, discussing topics ranging from the current state of their businesses to future development and cooperation prospects.

"Bang!" A loud noise interrupted the harmonious atmosphere in the study.

"Yang Sheng!"

After the noise, a loud shout followed, and soon, footsteps approached from the entrance.

Le Tong, sitting facing the door, looked up at the sound and met the face of a thirty-something man.

This man, Le Tong had seen a few days ago at the Old Master’s retirement and Yang Sheng’s inauguration banquet. It was none other than the eldest Yang Family son, Yang Hao, who had mockingly insulted Ji Rui, and who was now, of course, Le Tong’s brother-in-law too.

"Wow, everyone’s here!" Yang Hao sneered with a face full of sarcasm.

"Big brother, are you a child? You don’t even know how to knock before entering?" Yang Sheng turned around and glared at Yang Hao.

"Ha, becoming a CEO truly makes a difference."

Before Yang Sheng could counter, Yang Hao cast a scornful glance at Ji Rui and Le Tong, "After working as a lapdog at the Ji Family for years, you’ve grown some skills! Now you’re even bringing outsiders in to divide the inheritance! Yang Sheng, do you even know if your surname is Yang or Ji?"

Le Tong, though not the sharpest, understood this cousin was targeting her today. However, perhaps still somewhat wary of Ji Rui, he chose to start with Yang Sheng.

"Yang Hao, aren’t you the most aware of my capabilities? You lost, so own up to it; making a fuss without ability is just laughable. Fortunately, there’s no one else here. By the way, as the unwelcomed family disgrace, haven’t you had the chance to meet your sister and brother-in-law?"

Yang Hao’s face turned pale with anger from Yang Sheng’s sharp retort, "Yang Sheng, you!"

Yang Sheng provocatively raised his chin, "What? If you have the guts, say those words in front of Grandpa, and I guarantee even your one percent shares will be taken back!"

Yang Hao stood in the middle of the small living room, speechless with rage. His face turned red then white, and finally, realizing he couldn’t match Yang Sheng in wit or intelligence, he shifted his focus to Le Tong.

"Sister? Ha, does Grandpa miss Uncle so much that he picks a random fraud and claims her as his granddaughter? With the Yang Family’s reputation and wealth, bringing back a dozen sisters wouldn’t be difficult at all."

Le Tong glanced at him indifferently, tugged at Yang Sheng, and gestured towards Yang Hao with her chin, "Brother, was this person picked up from the roadside?"

Yang Sheng pretended not to understand with an eager-to-listen expression, "How so?"

Le Tong looked oddly at Yang Hao and mimicked Baobao’s manner, both innocent and earnest, "I think, brother, you and I have decent intelligence, but how is he so different from us? Could it be he was picked up? His intelligence level clearly isn’t on par with our Yang Family!"

Yang Sheng couldn’t hold back any longer, clutching his belly and bending over with laughter. Sitting on Le Tong’s other side, Ji Rui also burst out laughing.

As for Yang Hao, having been openly put down by Yang Sheng — which he had already experienced and expected to lose — he was indeed caught off guard.

The woman known as a cousin, who had looked like a little lamb the first time they met, could casually mock him too?

Despite not being the decision-maker in the Yang Family, as the eldest son, he could carry himself arrogantly in Beijing. Who dared to blatantly slap him in the face? Was this not courting death?

"Ho, what a big face you have! Do you actually see yourself as part of the Yang Family?"

Before Le Tong could reply, Yang Sheng interjected, "Big brother, you are truly increasingly ignorant of the times. Do you know that not even I have more wealth or influence than Tongtong?"

Yang Hao was stunned, seemingly not understanding Yang Sheng’s words.

"Grandpa changed the will, you didn’t know?" Yang Sheng said with a look of anticipation.

Yang Hao’s face changed, "He really changed it?" Evidently, this older cousin had returned upon catching wind of something, to gather information himself.

Yang Sheng shrugged, "Of course, didn’t you rush back after hearing the news? Let me tell you, it’s no rumor, it’s real. Tongtong has inherited what Uncle and Aunt would have, along with her own rightful inheritance. Furthermore, today Rui proposed, and Grandpa has already transferred three percent of Uncle and Aunt’s shares as dowry to Tongtong."

Yang Sheng’s words were like a blow to the head, causing Yang Hao to be dumbfounded.

"Impossible..." Yang Hao muttered in a daze, staring wide-eyed at Le Tong.

"Moreover, Tongtong doesn’t just own shares of the Yang Family and the inheritance. She is now the largest shareholder of the Ji Family. Big brother, you’d better find a place to think carefully if you really want to provoke Tongtong. As for those present, whether it’s me or Rui, neither of us dares to mess with her!"

Yang Sheng seemed to think he hadn’t hit his cousin hard enough, so he hit him with another undeniable fact.

Yang Hao turned his gaze to Ji Rui, who nodded in agreement with Yang Sheng’s words, "Yang Sheng is right, she and I hold the same amount of Ji Family shares, but she also has the authority over Baobao’s stocks and assets. So, at the Ji Family, the one with the most say is her, not me!"

It took Yang Hao quite some time to finally recover from the heavy blow, only to leave without a word after sweeping a glance over everyone present.

Yang Sheng listened to the door slam shut and then said to Le Tong, "Tongtong, it seems tomorrow you’ll finally meet your dear uncles and aunts."
