Chapter 376: Bankruptcy
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Si Cheng was not Zou Bai’s love rival, but he had always been a thorn in his side. After all, he was once Jiang An’s legal husband. This identity was an eyesore to Zou Bai.
Previously, because he did not appear, he pretended that nothing had happened. Anyway, An’an was his now.
However, Si Cheng had repeatedly harassed An’an and even tried to get An’an to remarry him. This had already grazed Zou Bai’s bottom line.
Until the banquet at the Jiang family made him decide to completely get rid of Si Cheng and the delusional Si family.
That was why he told Si Cheng those things. Even if he went crazy and told people, no one would believe him.
Moreover, Zou Bai had his own selfish motives. Everyone would treat this matter as Si Cheng’s crazy words. In the future, others wouldn’t be too shocked when they announced it.
It was impossible for him to hide the identities of the two children for the rest of his life. He was hiding it now because he did not want them to be affected, but sooner or later, the truth would have to be revealed.
The worse Si Cheng’s character was now, the less discussion there would be about Jiang An in the future. At the same time, he would make an example of Si Cheng and let others know that Jiang An was not to be trifled with.
Zou Bai had considered every aspect, which was why he did this.
In the past, he did not care what others said about him at all. As long as he achieved his goal, he could use whatever method he wanted.
But this couldn’t be the case with An’an. She had to live in everyone’s praise and love. For this, he was willing to do these troublesome things.
Making the Si family bankrupt was only the first step. What was more important was to make Si Cheng so poor that he would never be able to see An’an again in his life.
To someone like Si Cheng, being poor was worse than death. In the first half of his life, he had never lacked money. He did not know what kind of torture it was to be poor.
When Zou Bai was overseas, in order to find the stronghold of the people scheming against him, he pretended to be a vagrant on the streets. He was just short of picking up something to eat in the trash can.
He had tasted what it was like to not have money. Naturally, he knew how sad Si Cheng would be when he was poor. Just thinking about it made him happy.
The Si family’s business disappeared almost overnight. The Zou family disposed of all these as quickly as possible. They even bought all the subsidiary companies, leaving only an empty shell.
The shareholders sold the shares in their hands one after another. The shares of the Si family became less and less valuable. In the end, the villa was given to the bank and the family could only move into a small apartment. This was even rented by Zheng Wen with her own private money.
As for Qin Zhen, she wouldn’t go through thick and thin with them. All these years, she had listened to her daughter and earned a lot of money from Si Ming. She quickly packed up and went overseas. Anyway, this money was enough for the rest of her life.
As for Si Qin and Si Lin, they also left with their mother. Seeing that the Si family was about to collapse, they couldn’t accompany them. Anyway, with excellent educational backgrounds, they could still find good jobs overseas.
Zou Bai turned a blind eye to their actions. After all, they were only illegitimate children of the Si Family.
Moreover, these things would only make Si Cheng even sadder. As the first wife’s child, it was worse for him, the more his illegitimate siblings succeeded overseas. It was another kind of torture for him.
Si Cheng still wanted to use his knowledge to make a comeback. He asked, “Mom, how much money do you have left?”
“I only have a few million in my hands. Do you think it’s enough?” Zheng Wen looked at her savings and said.
As a rich lady, money was the last thing she needed to worry about. She only needed to use her husband’s secondary card to spend. Si Ming wouldn’t care what she spent on.
Therefore, Zheng Wen had never had the intention to save money. The few million yuan in her hands was left behind because she wanted to invest it previously. Before she could invest it into her family, something happened.
Si Cheng calculated his plan and said, “This is enough. Give it all to me.”
Zheng Wen was a little hesitant. “Son, this is all our savings. Are you sure you want to take it all?”
“Mom, I’m going to use this money to invest. Sooner or later, I’ll turn the tables and earn it back. Don’t you want to go back to your old life?” Si Cheng said.
Of course, Zheng Wen wanted to. She also believed that her son could do it. She took out her bank card and said, “Just do it.”
Upon hearing the report from the Zou Intelligence Network, Zou Bai smiled. It was as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. He said, “Then let him do whatever he wants. This few million yuan will probably be gone in a few days.” This was not an era of economic prosperity. It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to start from scratch..
