Chapter: 3061
When Xiao Hailong heard what Mrs. Xiao said, he became very excited. “Grandma! That would be amazing! I always think that Charlie Wade is going to get what’s coming to him sooner or later. This must be the warning before it happens!”
Mrs. Xiao smiled proudly. “Their family has been doing well for the past year, but it’s all thanks to Charlie Wade’s tricks and lies! Many so-called qigong masters and fortune tellers have tried to take money from rich people, but none of them ended well! I believe Charlie Wade’s luck will run out soon!”
Xiao Hailong couldn’t contain his excitement. “If Charlie Wade really does get what’s coming to him, his family will be finished! Maybe in just a few days, Wang Zhenggang will have to take back this villa!”
Xiao Changgan, who was lying nearby, chimed in eagerly, “Oh, if that happens, it would be a huge twist of fate! I hope Charlie Wade falls hard, and his family ends up with nowhere to go. Then we can all sit back and enjoy their downfall!”
He continued with pride, “Just remember: thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi! They never expected our family to rise from despair. Now, Weiwei has good people supporting her and runs the biggest etiquette company in Jinling. We’re definitely going to do better from now on!”
Mrs. Xiao nodded, adding, “And think about Weiwei! She started from nothing and built the best etiquette company in the city. That’s an achievement that far surpasses what your father has done!”
With that, Mrs. Xiao looked at the two of them with a mix of pride and seriousness.
“Speaking of which, your father and son are really useless! I asked you to take care of Ma Lan, but instead, both of you got beaten up and are now stuck in bed. Now I have to deal with everything! This is just ridiculous!”
As soon as she said this, Xiao Changqian and his son, Xiao Hailong, looked at each other, both feeling embarrassed.
The truth is, the men of the Xiao Clan just don’t have much to show for themselves. Even though Xiao Changqian is the eldest son and has always been favored by the old lady, he is really not very capable. He’s more of a half-hearted worker. As for Xiao Hailong, the eldest grandson, he’s not much better; he’s more of a disappointment than anything else.
Both of them have worked at the Xiao Group for years but have hardly accomplished anything. The Xiao Group was built by their grandfather, who worked hard for many years using his severance pay from the Ye family. Now, the company’s assets are shrinking, and it’s heading for bankruptcy.
Seeing that the father and son were silent, the old lady Xiao shook her head in frustration. She sighed and said, “I don’t understand what’s so special about Weiwei. From what I hear, she’s quite capable. That struggling company was taken over from its original boss, and now it’s doing well under her management! The previous boss didn’t even dare to speak up and ended up going to KTV to hide. If she can manage that, she must have some real talent!”
“Yeah!” Xiao Changqian chimed in, sighing. “I heard that Weiwei’s former boss was quite clever and well-connected. I never thought he would fall so low.”
The old lady Xiao spoke up, “It would be wonderful if Weiwei could connect with that noble person. Our family really needs a strong supporter right now!”
Xiao Changgan nodded in agreement and added, “I notice that whenever Weiwei talks about that noble person, her eyes sparkle with excitement. She might have already made a secret promise to him.”
