Chapter: 3065

Charlie Wade couldn’t believe that the confidence of Mrs. Xiao, who had come to support him, was due to her granddaughter, Xiao Weiwei. She had no idea that Xiao Weiwei became the general manager of Shangmei Etiquette Company because people saw her potential and gave her a chance.

Charlie looked at Mrs. Xiao, feeling a bit amused. He joked, “Lady, the biggest mistake in your life is your lack of insight. If you could see the bigger picture, the Xiao family wouldn’t be in this situation.”

Then, he became serious. “If you want to keep working on Tomson’s leading product, remember that you won’t be in trouble with us in the future. But if you can’t manage this, you might not have a future here.”

After saying this, Charlie turned to close the door. But Mrs. Xiao quickly stepped forward and blocked his way. “Charlie Wade! How dare you lecture me? Who do you think you are? If it weren’t for my late husband bringing you back from being a construction worker, you’d be begging for food! Do you really think I’m short-sighted? The foundation of the Xiao family wasn’t built by chance!”

Charlie shook his head. “I don’t know how your family built its foundation, but right now, you’re struggling. The Xiao Group should have gone bankrupt a long time ago. If I’m not mistaken, you still owe a lot of money to the bank, which is why your old villa has been sealed. You’re only living in this villa because of Wu Donghai. What else do you have left?”

Xiao Weiwei thought about how different things could be now. If it weren’t for her, Charlie Wade might still be stuck bagging groceries at the supermarket. The old woman, Mrs. Xiao, felt a sting as Charlie brought up her family’s downfall. It was a painful memory, and the thought of having to work in a supermarket was a deep humiliation for her.

Frustrated, she shouted, “Charlie Wade! Don’t get too full of yourself! Soon enough, you’ll face your downfall! I can’t wait to see your family’s disgrace!”

Charlie smiled and replied, “I welcome that! But I’m afraid your body won’t last to see it. What a shame that would be!”

Mrs. Xiao clenched her teeth and shot back, “You think you’ll be safe for long! Soon, the wealthy will come after you. Not only will you have to return the money you scammed, but you’ll also end up in prison for life!”

As her anger grew, she continued to rant, “And don’t forget about Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan! They’ll be in trouble too!”

She paused, catching her breath, then added, “Oh! And Xiao Churan!”

Charlie’s expression turned serious. He fixed his cold gaze on her and said, “Old lady, I’ve kept my patience because of Chu Ran. But if you ever speak poorly of her again, I won’t hold back!”

Mrs. Xiao laughed mockingly, “Are you scared of me just because I’m old? I’ve been to prison and I’m not afraid of you!” She noticed that Charlie seemed particularly sensitive about Xiao Churan, and that only fueled her anger.

When Mrs. Xiao mentioned Xiao Churan’s name, she suddenly felt like she had found a weakness in Charlie Wade. This made her even more arrogant. Just as she was about to confront Charlie Wade about Xiao Churan, someone shouted, “Grandma! What are you doing here?”

It was Xiao Weiwei!

Today was the weekend, so she didn’t have to work at the company. However, since there were more students in the training school, she decided to spend her day helping with professional courses. Knowing it was Charlie Wade’s birthday, she went to the Hermès store after work and spent over 8,000 yuan on a gift for him.

Even though Xiao Weiwei understood that an Hermes belt was not a big deal for someone like Charlie Wade, it was still one of the few luxury items she could afford.
