41 The Ugly Son-in-law Finally Meets The Relatives (2/2)
”What I'm earning is Feiyang International Hotel's profit. Isn't it the same when you ask for my monthly salary?” Ye Xiong rolled his eyes and gave Yang Dingguo a rude response.
He had never lowered his head to anyone in his entire life. He would fight back even if it was Yang Dingguo. It would be weird if he was able to hold it in.
”Ye Xiong, how could you speak like that to father?” Yang Xinyi did not expect Ye Xiong to be this agitated. She immediately kicked him a few times under the table as she told him to behave.
”You've just married my daughter and you're talking to me in this manner. In a year or two, you might possibly just take over my entire Xinyi Group.” Yang Dingguo's expression changed for the worse as he looked at his own daughter and harrumphed. ”I've raised you, provided you with the best education, and even handed over the Group to you. Who would've thought that you would rather pick a construction worker as your husband instead of a potential good son-in-law, He Haodong? Are you blind or what?”
”Don't assume that I don't know what you're up to. For a construction worker to become the General Manager of Feiyang International Hotel, you must have done something shady, right?”
”A worthless person is a worthless person. Do you think he'll be able to do his job well just because you've given him a high position?”
Yang Dingguo harrumphed as the contemptuous look on his face grew worse.
Ye Xiong smiled ever so cunningly as he listened to every word.
Phoenix would be incredibly shocked if she was here because Ye Xiong was at his peak anger whenever he made that smile.
”Mr. Yang Dingguo…”
Ye Xiong went from calling him father to Chairman Yang and was now using his name. This was a sign that Ye Xiong's anger had been increasing slowly.
Ye Xiong had never been this humiliated in his life, even the Chief of Huaxia was polite when he wanted Ye Xiong back. Here, there was a clown, his fake father-in-law, who kept humiliating him. If he were to not fight back, his father-in-law would really think his worth was equivalent to a persimmon in the market.
It was then that he stood up and said loudly.
”Twenty-three years ago, Xinyi Group was known as Yuanshan Group before its name was changed by Mr. Yang Yuanshan. The group was valued at roughly two billion bucks then. Twenty years have passed, the price of cabbage has risen from fifty cents to four bucks per 0.6 kg. A piece of candy's price has risen from five cents to fifty cents. On the other hand, after twenty years, Yuanshan Group has risen from two billion to three billion in Mr. Yang Dingguo's hands. You've managed to increase the value of the company by merely one billion in twenty years. Mr. Yang Dingguo is truly a capable man!”
Bam!
Yang Dingguo slammed the table and stood up. His face was incredibly red as he pointed at Ye Xiong with a trembling finger.
”You… you… you…”
”What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?” Ye Xiong smiled coldly.
Yang Dingguo's greatest failure in life was to not invest in the futures market. However, he was not entirely useless as well since he was able to go through the great depression. He was considered capable for surviving that. However, this was a wound in his heart, and no one dared to speak of it directly in front of him. Who would have thought that Ye Xiong would immediately say such a thing the moment he opened his mouth.
Yang Xinyi did not expect Ye Xiong's response to be this sharp. Ye Xiong was able to corner her own father so greatly. Hence, she kept kicking him under the table as she reminded him to calm down.
”Why are you kicking me? Did I say something wrong?” Ye Xiong ignored her as his expression was incredibly cold. He continued. ”I know you respect your father very much, but you must have a limit. You'll do whatever he wants you to do and you seem to not have an opinion about it. If he wants you to marry a sixty-year-old man, are you going to marry him then?”
Yang Xinyi was incredibly angry and kept staring at him as Ye Xiong scolded her.
It was just an act but was it necessary to be this realistic?
Truthfully, she was delighted at Ye Xiong's scolding to her father. She wanted to comment about her father's attitude for a long time, but she did not dare to do so because he was her father.
”Xinyi, the man you've chosen lacks class. I've decided that you two shouldn't be together. Divorce him now or don't blame me for disowning you.” Yang Dingguo was incredibly furious.
