Chapter 151: His Biological Parents Are a Trump Card

On the other side, Xu Wanting, after finishing a long day, drove home.

The battle for Fengxiang Jewelry was nearing its end. It was said that Xu Ankang was doing quite well in his assigned City, causing her some pressure.

Xu Wanting had also been extremely busy during this period.

However, what worried her the most wasn’t this matter. Rather, it was the fact that Xu Mo had been very quiet lately, seemingly not doing anything.

This silence was somewhat terrifying.

Ever since Xu Pandi had gotten angry, she had mobilized some connections, crazily targeting Pinduoduo and contacting many lawyers.

She even went so far as to use Xie Bingyan’s connections to reach into the Chouguo stock market, causing significant trouble for Pinduoduo’s listing.

However, now that the troubles were mostly resolved, Xu Mo still hadn’t made any moves or given any news.

Xu Wanting had no idea what Xu Mo was doing, and a sense of unease and worry quietly surfaced in her heart.

Logically, Xu Mo wouldn’t just sit and wait to be defeated.

And just yesterday, new issues arose at home.

Taking advantage of Xu Junzhe’s absence, Xu Deming discussed the future successor of Fengxiang Jewelry with Xie Bingyan. The Xu family had yet to make a decision, and he wanted to settle it early.

Xu Deming’s stance remained as always, choosing Xu Mo. However, this decision was met with strong opposition from Xie Bingyan.

The two ended up arguing fiercely in the room, causing another big commotion. Xie Bingyan even smashed some items, warning Xu Deming not to choose Xu Mo.

Xu Deming was deeply troubled by this.

Xie Bingyan favored herself and Xu Junzhe, even going so far as to put pressure on the Xu family, demanding they pay a price. Currently, both sides were locked in intense conflict.

The struggle for Fengxiang Jewelry had nearly reached a critical point. The closer it got to the deadline, the more intense the situation became.

“Giving it to Xu Mo is not the best choice! I also disagree with giving it to Xu Mo!”

Xu Wanting found Xu Xuehui and Xu Shuying and expressed her stance as well: “Xu Mo already has too many issues. Giving Fengxiang Jewelry to him would ruin it!”

Xu Xuehui and Xu Shuying remained silent.

In fact, from the beginning until now, the Xu family hadn’t given Xu Mo anything. Now, even the family asset, Fengxiang Jewelry, excluded him. This would naturally lead to some despair.

Xie Bingyan’s disagreement had its reasons; she simply didn’t like Xu Mo.

She preferred managing it with Xu Junzhe.

For Xie Bingyan, the Xu family assets didn’t matter as much. There was no way she would allow the family’s industry to fall into the hands of an enemy.

“Elder Sister, is there really no way to save this?” Xu Shuying asked softly.

Xu Wanting shook her head, “We have all wronged him! We’ve done many things to hurt him! But in the face of right and wrong, we cannot be swayed by emotions. Xu Mo… is no longer suitable!”

Xu Xuehui and Xu Shuying understood Xu Wanting’s reasoning. After all, Xu Mo’s relationship with them and Xie Bingyan was too strained now.

If Fengxiang Jewelry were given to Xu Mo, it would likely create other problems, turning the family into a chaotic mess. Therefore, excluding Xu Mo was the best choice.

Even if it meant he would feel wronged, there was no other way.

Xu Xuehui didn’t speak; she only felt sadness as she walked to the window and gazed at the distant garden with a forlorn expression.

She didn’t share Xu Wanting’s perspective on right and wrong, only feeling that such a decision was too cruel to Xu Mo.

Clearly, there was still a chance, so why make it so absolute?

For a moment, Xu Xuehui couldn’t accept such harshness.

Xu Wanting glanced at her but said nothing.

…

Gao Cai’er unexpectedly encountered Xu Mo once at Tsinghua University.

The two hadn’t seen each other for several months, and this “sudden” encounter brought no real conversation. Gao Cai’er was now married, seemingly living a good life.

Xu Mo held quite a few cards concerning her, but he hadn’t played them yet.

Gao Cai’er soon received a piece of information about Fengxiang Jewelry’s gold adulteration scandal. It involved a famous jewelry product primarily sold in Jingcheng’s gold stores.

The gold had been mixed with other metals, resulting in insufficient gold content per gram.

Additionally, there was evidence that other jewelry products had been substituted with inferior materials.

Upon receiving this information, Gao Cai’er was naturally pleased. She immediately went home to discuss it with her mother, Tan Qin, who quickly gave her some strategies.

“Have you found out about Xu Junzhe’s biological parents?” Tan Qin, a fashionable and strikingly dressed socialite in a thick wool sweater, asked.

“I’ve already found out! But I haven’t informed him yet. This is one of the last resorts!” Gao Cai’er replied.

“That’s good! His biological parents are a trump card. If we can avoid using it, we should. First, let’s deal with the issue of Fengxiang Jewelry. If you can get even a tiny bit out of it, it’ll be better than having a huge chunk!” Tan Qin’s eyes gleamed with greed.

“Understood!”

Regarding the information on Xu Wanting, it was essential to let Xu Junzhe see it first. Then, they would contact others to take action and report it, hoping to create some impact on the internet.

Once it gained traction online, it would damage Fengxiang Jewelry’s reputation. By then, someone from the Jingcheng branch of Fengxiang Jewelry would need to take responsibility.

Xu Wanting, being in charge of quality control, would undoubtedly be the first to be targeted.

Gao Cai’er thought carefully about how to proceed. She didn’t show all the information to Xu Junzhe but handed him only a small portion of it.

“I can see the situation in the Xu family is becoming quite clear! Yesterday, it seems they had another argument at home, definitely about the future of Fengxiang Jewelry! You need to make a decision quickly!”

Gao Cai’er knew that Xu Junzhe found it difficult to make a decision. Emotionally, he still sided with Xie Bingyan and Xu Wanting and wouldn’t easily harm Xu Wanting’s feelings for him.

However, the struggle for Fengxiang Jewelry was nearing its end, and the result might soon be apparent. Xu Deming’s stance remained clear.

Therefore, Xu Junzhe probably didn’t want to miss the opportunity.

“Who gave you this information?” Xu Junzhe asked.

“I had someone investigate it! It’s confirmed that there are indeed these flaws! Although your eldest sister is in charge of quality, her focus has obviously not been on quality control lately but on market expansion! Only if you drive her out can you control the branch!” Gao Cai’er pressed on.

“Moreover, only after she’s gone will Father recognize your indispensability! He will rely on you more and give you greater authority!”

Xu Junzhe held the information in silence, his expression fluctuating.

He was well aware of the consequences of his actions.

Once he took action, there would be no turning back.

If he initiated the attack, he would have to see it through to the end.

“What are you hesitating about? Do you really want Fengxiang Jewelry to fall into someone else’s hands? I must remind you, you are not truly a Xu family bloodline! Although they care for you now, if they reconcile with Xu Mo, you will be the one abandoned! By then, you might be left with nothing!”

Hearing this, Xu Junzhe’s expression tightened, and he clenched his fists.

Recently, Xie Bingyan’s attitude had also softened. After a heated argument with Xu Deming, she seemed to have calmed down and reconsidered.

Perhaps, it was really time to make a decision!

“Then, let’s begin! Can your people keep this confidential?” Xu Junzhe asked.

“Yes! As long as you give the nod, my people can take action at any time!” Gao Cai’er couldn’t help but feel elated seeing him persuaded.

“Then…” Xu Junzhe hesitated for a moment, then nodded, his expression turning grim. “Alright! Let’s do it!”

The slaughter began, and the blade was raised.
