King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

"Juanzi! Where are you?"

I was so nervous I almost crushed my phone, and asked loudly.

"Waaah! Brother... I'm still at my sister-in-law's house, I'm so sad, so sad, waaaah!"

Xiaojuan's cries felt like needles piercing my heart!

"Juanzi, what did they do to you? Tell me!"

“Wuwu!”

On the other end of the phone, Xiaojuan sobbed uncontrollably, "They didn't bully me, they were all very good to me... They even bought me a phone and got me a SIM card, but I'm so sad, so sad I can't sleep, sob sob sob! Brother! Why...did your wife go with someone else? Sob sob! Did you get your current position by trading your wife? Sob sob sob! Brother! I'm so heartbroken..."

I understood; my sister was worried about me!

My tears also flowed...

"Juanzi, it's because your brother is incompetent that he couldn't keep your sister-in-law..."

I choked back tears and said, "But... I absolutely did not use her to exchange for an official position, I just..."

Tears streamed down my face, and I didn't know how to explain it to my sister.

At this moment, Xu Meijuan, who was standing next to her, sniffled and said, "Xiaojuan, this is Xu Meijuan, the CEO of Hengdai Real Estate. I can guarantee with my integrity that your brother is an outstanding college graduate. He got his current position through his real talent and excellent character, definitely not by trading his ex-girlfriend. Please don't misunderstand, okay? You're still young, and there are many things you don't understand yet. Relationships are inherently complicated. You'll understand in time, okay..."

Xu Meijuan kept comforting Xiaojuan...

The younger sister on the other end of the phone gradually calmed down.

Her actions deeply moved me!

At the same time, I gained a new understanding and appreciation of Xu Meijuan...

She is assertive and domineering, and even a bit crazy and unreasonable, but that doesn’t mean she has no human touch!

Xu Meijuan's soul is fundamentally imbued with a strong sense of justice!

"Alright, Xiaojuan, go to sleep early!"

Xu Meijuan said in a very loving and gentle tone, "Don't overthink it. I'll come see you tomorrow, okay?"

"OK."

Xu Meijuan handed the phone back to me, and after comforting my sister for a few more minutes, I hung up.

"Ms. Meijuan! Thank you!" I looked at her, touched.

Xu Meijuan leaned forward and gently embraced me, saying emotionally, "Don't call me President Meijuan anymore, just call me Meijuan."

"Um!"

I nodded and gently stroked her smooth back.

Xu Meijuan breathed heavily and said affectionately, "Xiaojuan deserves a better sister-in-law! Our Xu family... will compensate her doubly..."

Xu Meijuan's words left me dumbfounded... Double compensation? How can you demand double compensation for something like this, sister-in-law?

Younger and prettier?

"Meijuan..."

I gently released her and cupped her snow-white shoulders in my hands: "I haven't finished what I was saying. What 'great demon'? What 'completely eradicated'? What exactly happened?"

The topic returned to the main point, and Xu Meijuan's eyes dimmed, but her gaze became even sharper!

"Xiao Cheng..."

Xu Meijuan sighed softly: "The Xu family's large enterprise was built up by my parents from scratch when they were young... Back then, my parents would excitedly count their money every day when they came home, and life was getting better and better. The house was filled with laughter every day... My dad was very decisive and bold. He caught the wave of reform and opening up and made his first pot of gold..."

Xu Meijuan opened the box of memories and began to recount her parents' rags-to-riches story...

It's clear that Mr. Xu and Meijuan's mother, a young couple, struggled together through thick and thin to build such a large fortune, which was no easy feat, and could even be described as a miracle!

"However......"

Xu Meijuan lit another cigarette and took a light drag: "When our third daughter, Meitong, turned three, everything changed..."

"What's going on?" I asked, frowning.

"Men... Humph!"

Xu Meijuan gave a disdainful, bitter smile: "After my dad became rich, he kept a mistress on the side, who was Xu Shaokun's mother... Later, my mom found out. At that time, that mistress had already given birth to two daughters for my dad, Meiwen and Meiling... What's even more ironic is that when Meiwen was born, that mistress was actually in the same hospital as my mom, in the same delivery room. Meitong only gave birth ten minutes earlier than Meiwen..."

"Wow!"

My heart was pounding!

Is there really such a thing?

Two heavily pregnant women giving birth to the same man's babies... and in the same maternity ward, that's incredible!

"Then...your mother probably doesn't know either, the other one is..."

"Yes!"

Tears streamed down Xu Meijuan's face: "My mom didn't know anything about it. She kept comforting her, encouraging that mistress, and cheering her on..."

"Encourage what?" I asked, frowning.

"snort!"

Xu Meijuan sneered, "She told my mom that her man didn't want her anymore, that she was a single mother... My mom was so heartbroken, she kept feeding her pep talks... Little did she know, that bitch was pregnant with my dad's child... My mom was so stupid! Sigh! The greatest pain is realizing you've been played for!"

"yes!"

I sighed with sympathy: "Being kept in the dark for three whole years, the thought of finally finding out is suffocating!"

"My mom is a very strong-willed woman!"

Xu Meijuan wiped away her tears and choked out, "I've never admitted defeat in my life! But I was defeated by my dad! Being betrayed by the person I love most, that feeling... cough! But that's not the most infuriating thing. My mom told my dad to sever ties with that mistress and even filed for divorce, but my dad brainwashed my mom, telling her to get along peacefully with that mistress and call her sister..."

"Your dad really knows how to think..."

"Yeah, he's dreaming!"

Xu Meijuan said with a bitter smile, "That's not the most infuriating thing. The most infuriating thing is that my dad's reason was that he couldn't live without a son! When my mom was pregnant with Meitong, she was already quite old. She risked her life to give him a son, and the result... cough!"

"And then?"

"Later... ha!"

Xu Meijuan took a drag of her cigarette: "Later, my mom fell ill. She wanted to divorce my dad, but she didn't want to see Hengdai Group, which had just gone public and was riding high, collapse, and she didn't want to let that mistress get away with it... So she dragged her ailing body through the years. Then, Xu Shaokun was born, and my dad finally had a son... My mom was so anxious and exhausted that she died!"

"Oh...I'm sorry!" I sadly wiped away her tears.

"cough!"

Xu Meijuan sighed bitterly, "Actually, after all these years... I've come to understand. Men, I'm not afraid of you having multiple wives and concubines, but don't lie to people! If you have something to say, say it openly, don't do anything underhanded..."

"Yes! Sincerity is the most important thing..."

I sighed and said, "So, the biggest demon you're talking about is...?"

"Um!"

Xu Meijuan nodded: "That's Xu Shaokun's mother, Qiao Jingshu!"

"Qiao Jingshu?"

I frowned and pondered, "This name sounds familiar; I feel like I've heard it somewhere before?"

"Not surprising!"

Xu Meijuan sneered, "Back then, Jiangcheng produced two very famous actresses. One was Qiao Yunshu, and the other was Shao Kun's mother, Qiao Jingshu. They acted in many TV series... It's not surprising that you've heard of them."

"Oh, no wonder your dad took a liking to her?"

I nodded thoughtfully. "Are they sisters? And both have the surname Qiao?"

"no!"

Xu Meijuan shook her head: "They're not related! But they were very famous in Jiangcheng back then, known as the 'Twin Beauties of Jiangcheng,' or the 'Big Qiao and Little Qiao of Jiangcheng.' Big Qiao was Qiao Yunshu, who was later killed in a car accident, and Little Qiao was Shao Kun's mother!"

She paused, then continued, "After my mother died, my father felt very guilty, and all these years... he hasn't officially married Qiao Jingshu. They're still living together illegally!"

"Oh, oh, oh..."

I sighed and said, "So you mean... Xu Shaokun's dirty deeds were all done by his mother?"

"good!"

Xu Meijuan's eyes narrowed to two dots: "Xu Shaokun only hinted, the actual operations... were all handled by Qiao Jingshu! I can spy on Xu Shaokun's every move, but I can't control Qiao Jingshu's every move! I don't have any evidence of her crimes!"

"Oh...I see!"

"Xu Shaokun is very cunning!"

Hsu Mei-chuan said, "Every time he wanted to do something bad, he would use some code words, like 'I'm going to eat fish,' you know?"

"I know! It was shown in a TV series!"

"That solves it!"

Xu Meijuan said, "Xu Shaokun used his own mother as a 'white glove' to absolve himself of all responsibility! He said one sentence, 'Sun Fangfang was bullied!' and Feng Caiping's house was on fire. How do you explain that?"

"So that's how it is! This Qiao Jingshu is quite strange!" I exclaimed in shock.

So that's why!

Xu Meijuan's eyes hardened as she said, "Finding evidence against Xu Shaokun is useless; collecting evidence of Qiao Jingshu's crimes is the key! Cough... At most, your relationship with Xu Shaokun is a matter of losing a wife, but my relationship with Xu Shaokun and his son is a matter of killing my mother! Do you think... who wants them to be finished more?"

As soon as she finished speaking, footsteps suddenly came from the corridor outside the door... and the voice sounded like a man's.
