Chapter 332 - Xiong De and Xiong Wuyue's fight
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.
His paranoid mind was convinced that this was all because of his attempt towards the Young Miss Xiong Zhi. He reckoned that his elder brother was using this against him.
Xiong De calmed down. He contacted his men once more to make sure for the nth time that he did not leave any traces.
After confirming, the uneasiness in his heart slightly lessened, but he was still worried.
Why did he even do it, there was no gain at all. He began to feel slightly regretful. If it was successful, then so be it, good job. But it failed...
He paced back and forth.
He needed to cover some of his dealings with the underworld. Xiong Bilan might use this chance to push him down and make sure that he would never rise again.
As if he would let that happen!
Xiong De's mind began to start thinking of possible solutions after realizing the difficult situation he was in.
At the same time, Xiong Wuyue forced her way through the servants who were trying to stop her from going to her father. But since the door to the study was locked, Xiong Wuyue shouted angrily in front of the door, not caring for the servants and butlers surrounding them.
She hammered her fists at the door.
"Dad! Teach that bitch another lesson! I can't even sleep! That whore stole Linfeng!" Xiong Wuyue shrieked, her beautiful facial features distorted.
Obviously, she was currently having another manic fit. "That bitch should know her place! How dare she put her dirty hands on him! How could she do that after what happened to her?! She has been touched by dirty men! She is now just a dirty bitch—"
"!!!!"
Xiong Wuyue's shouts made Xiong De stiffen.
His daughter was announcing to the whole world that they were the perpetrators!
Even though there was no news about the r.a.p.e or kidnapping attempt on the Young Miss, it did not mean that the Xiong family would let it pass. For sure, the main family was looking into it right now.
And Old Xiong has eyes and ears everywhere, especially in all of the Xiong Mansions.
"Shut her up!" Xiong De barked at his butler.
The butler immediately went out. However, he could not stop the Young Miss who bulldozed herself in.
"Father! I thought you took care of her already—"
"Shut up!"
Xiong De's loud roar reverberated inside the room, immediately cutting off the manic shouts of the young girl.
Xiong Wuyue's distorted face froze and whitened. Her father never raised his voice at her. She had never been treated this way by her dad!
Her tears immediately welled up, threatening to fall.
Xiong De kneaded his forehead.
"Zhou Jin, leave us. And make sure no one is around this wing."
The butler bowed. "Yes, Master."
After the butler left, Xiong De was about to sit but found out that the chair was overturned. He went to the couches by the windows instead.
Xiong Wuyue, who had finally recovered from her manic state, was stunned to see the room.
The room was a total mess.
