Chapter 332 - Xiong De and Xiong Wuyues fight (1/2)
The details of the retrial of Zhou Linfeng's case in the Xiong mansion never came out. Even though the results were witnessed by the second masters of the two families, no one bothered to talk about it.
First, because of Old Xiong's suppression, and second, because there was another matter circulating around.
In the master's study within the Second Xiong Mansion, Xiong De smashed everything that he could smash.
Another loud shattering sound echoed in his study. The butler at the corner of the room tried to lessen his presence. Some stray broken shards flew to the butler's face. Thin lines started to bleed.
The butler calmly wiped the blood with a handkerchief and remained standing serenely at the side.
At this time, Xiong De really resembled his daughter.
From where the Young Miss Xiong Wuyue inherited her manic temper, it could never be clearer.
”That old man!” Xiong De roared. ”How could he do this to me?! How!”
The table was overturned. Papers fluttered everywhere.
”I worked for him for years! I finally made it here in the country with my own effort! How could he take it away?!”
The chair was kicked to the shelves, smashing the books down.
Xiong De huffed, but his angry heart did not calm down a bit.
”How could he give it to that Bilan!”
Xiong De vented his anger by breaking things. After some time, when the interior of the study was broken beyond recognition, he finally felt tired.
However, his furious eyes were still blazing.
Yesterday late afternoon, the old man suddenly sent a notice that there will be a shareholders' meeting the next day. Earlier this morning, the old man unilaterally dominated the meeting.
That damned old man suddenly took away his shares here in the country and transferred it to Xiong Bilan, so easily as if he just took a piece of candy and gave it away.
Those shares belonged to the second branch. Old Xiong could transfer the rights to any person, as long as he was part of the second branch of the Xiong family.
Xiong De got those shares with his own effort by roping in other shareholders. At that time, the shareholders from the second branch voted for Xiong De, without Old Xiong intervening.
The old man had never bothered with the second branch's tiny moves before, but why was he being so active now?!
He spent a lot of effort and schemes, but they were all wasted by the damned old man's single move!
That was why he was really angry.
Xiong De kicked at the overturned table angrily and took in deep breaths.
He had suspected that Xiong Bilan was the one who helped Xiong Zhi before. But now he was sure.
After venting his anger, his worries came next.
What if Old Xiong came to know that he was the one who had harmed the heiress?
If Old Xiong really knew about it, then taking the second branch's share in this country from him would not be his only ending.
He would be banished from the Xiong family.
He clenched his fist tightly, veins popping out.
Maybe, Old Xiong was still looking for evidence. They could not punish him simply based on Xiong Bilan's words, nor the words of those he hired.
