Chapter 566 Advance Payment of Family Property
The first thing Liu Ruyan said when she got home almost scared Old Liu to death. He had lived his whole life on thin ice, always keeping himself pure and virtuous, afraid that he would not be able to reach the other side. He never expected that he would almost be wronged by his daughter in his old age and lose his reputation.

Besides, this isn't the first time he's achieved financial freedom. He never thought about messing around when he was young, so how could he possibly have an illegitimate child now that he's old?

This was a huge injustice. At this moment, Lao Liu felt extremely wronged, fearing that his wife would believe the slander and immediately use her magic to attack him, giving him no chance to explain.

Fortunately, Ms. Cheng just rolled her eyes at him, then took her daughter's hand, sat on the sofa and laughed, "What are you doing? You scared your dad as soon as you got home. Look how scared he is. An illegitimate child? He wouldn't dare!"
Although your mother is a housewife now, don't you know that all our family's assets are in my name?
Don't mistake your mother for a weak and helpless woman; your mother has plenty of tricks up her sleeve!

This is the difference between Liu Zhengyuan's family and Comrade Yuan's family.

Old Yuan's family's wealth is the accumulation of several generations, so the property naturally belongs to the husband. However, Liu Zhengyuan and his wife started from scratch and have gone through many ups and downs over the years. The couple doesn't distinguish between "yours" and "mine," so the property naturally belongs to both of them.

Because he was grateful for his wife's support in the early years, Liu Zhengyuan put all of the family's assets in his wife's name.

Since the two of them only have one child, they naturally don't have any other thoughts.

In her family's situation, to put it bluntly, if Liu Zhengyuan were to have an illegitimate child outside the marriage, and that child came to their door demanding money, Ms. Cheng, with her methods, could ensure that the other party wouldn't get a single penny.

If there were no children, only a woman, she could legally get back every penny that woman had gotten from Liu Zhengyuan.

In extreme cases, some disputes escalate to the point where the other party might earn the money but not live to spend it.

You have to understand, when the two of them first started out, it was in the 90s. It wasn't as peaceful as it is now. Anyone who managed to make it big didn't have any tricks up their sleeve.

“That’s right, my wife is the most reasonable one. You’re not allowed to say things that are not good for family harmony in the future,” Liu Zhengyuan said, glaring at his daughter.

In response, Liu Ruyan sat on the sofa, poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and shook her head, saying, "It's not as good as my younger brother's tea. What a waste!"
By the way, I heard that something bad happened to Xiaomo while I was away. Mom, you and Dad know about it, right?

"I know, of course I know. Your dad and Lao Yuan have been helping us. The reason we didn't tell you was because of Xiao Lin's idea, in case it affected your business trip."

And since you already know, you should also know the process, right? Don't worry, with Mom here, how could I let Xiaolin suffer?

"Look, the other party has already paid a heavy price. Calm down. You came in with such a stern face. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were going to eat someone," Ms. Cheng said with a smile as she poured tea for her daughter.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan nodded. She did know the process and the result, but some details were unclear because they couldn't be explained in a few words over the phone. After all, her information came from Zhao Yun, so the information was naturally incomplete. She only knew that her husband seemed to have used some method to cause a power outage in the other party's important properties, resulting in huge losses.

“It’s certain that they can eat people. This matter could have been resolved, but the night before last, Xiao Mo was surrounded by a group of people and almost got hurt. You and Dad know about this, right? Who do you think was behind this?” Liu Ruyan said calmly.

In response, Liu Zhengyuan sighed helplessly and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Qin Zhenhong and Huang Dayong who did it. You're so smart, Dad knows he can't fool you."

To be honest, Dad anticipated this situation, so I arranged for people to come beforehand. Even if there were no police officers that day, Xiaolin would be fine, so don't worry about that.

"Besides, their lives won't be easy either. Let's wait a while, until they can't hold on any longer. Then, our family and Lao Yuan can cooperate and directly divide them up, kicking them out. It was that kid Xiao Lin who started this; he's got some skills!" Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan was stunned: "What does Xiao Mo mean?"

“Otherwise, Yuanyuan went home and complained, and Lao Yuan came to discuss it with me. In the end, we asked Xiao Lin to come over. At first, we thought we would support Xiao Lin and ask for an apology and a considerable amount of compensation to settle the matter. But we didn’t expect that the kid you found would actually be quite capable and decisive. He either doesn’t do it at all, or he does it thoroughly. We underestimated him.” Liu Zhengyuan briefly recounted the conversation between the three of them that day.

It has to be said that since meeting Lin Mo last time, his thoughts have changed a lot, and his evaluation of Lin Mo has changed from a phoenix man who wanted to live off a woman to an outstanding young man.

He was good-looking, young, good at making money, resourceful, and most importantly, his decisive personality made him quite appreciative, so his attitude towards him naturally improved a lot.

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan's lips curled up slightly. It was the first time she had seen her little man show his fangs. Although she wasn't there at the time, just hearing his father's account, she could imagine how handsome Lin Mo must have been.

"No wonder they were so desperate, it turns out they were two dying dogs barking wildly," Liu Ruyan laughed.

Seeing that his daughter's expression had softened a bit, Liu Zhengyuan pressed on, saying, "Of course, so don't be angry. Leave this to your dad. Just watch, your Uncle Yuan and I have set up this scheme. It won't be long before those two families can't hold on. Then we'll take over at a low price and make a huge profit."

“It’s too slow,” Liu Ruyan said.

Liu Zhengyuan: "Slow? No, it's not slow. So, girl, what do you want to do?"

"Dad, how much business do we have that overlaps with theirs?" Liu Ruyan asked.

Liu Zhengyuan was taken aback upon hearing this, and then said, "Qin Zhenhong's family runs a physical factory, while Huang Dayong's family's core business is in hotels. Our family's business doesn't overlap much with theirs, but there is some overlap. Old Yuan's family should have more than ours, you mean?"

"Openly challenge their family, why pretend? If you don't want to be the bad guy, I will. As for the reason, it's that your daughter acted on emotion, stood up for her boyfriend, and was deliberately retaliating because she couldn't swallow this insult."

Starting today, for any business that overlaps with theirs, we will openly poach their customers and wage a price war.

"Since things have come to this, I don't mind kicking them when they're down. What's the point of letting them die slowly? I want to beat them up openly to vent my anger," Liu Ruyan said coldly.

Seeing that his daughter was getting carried away, Liu Zhengyuan quickly advised, "What are you doing? If we openly get involved now, it's not only a bit unreasonable, but it's also a waste of money."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan looked up into her father's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Dad? Since I'm your only daughter, shouldn't all this property be mine now that you're old?"

“Of course, I can donate even if it’s not yours!” Ms. Cheng said with a smile.

In response, Liu Ruyan grinned and said, "In that case, I'll borrow some in advance!"

Liu Zhengyuan:
