At this age, Xu Junzhe is not as deeply scheming as the Xu Junzhe of future generations. It’s only after he turns thirty that he becomes profoundly intimidating.
Xu Mo has observed everything about him. He seems somewhat anxious, eager to prove himself, his actions a bit hurried!
In the past month alone, he has delivered three speeches at school, expounding his views on entrepreneurship, attracting a crowd of admirers…
Xu Mo isn’t worried, as his electric bike company has just started. He needs to wait until it develops further before taking action.
Only then will he truly feel the pain!
It seems that the market competition from shared electric bikes has squeezed out some of Little Monster Bike’s market space, which has made Xu Junzhe spirited. On this day, he gave a speech at Tsinghua University, sharing his entrepreneurial experience.
Xu Mo originally had no intention of attending, but coincidentally, his class was nearby, and Tang Lei was also attending class there, so Xu Mo went over to take a look.
There were quite a few people listening. In fact, many university students have entrepreneurial aspirations and need successful individuals to share their stories and inspire them.
Xu Junzhe was one of the first to try something new. With his views on shared electric bikes and the web based sharing economy, some people were eager to hear him talk nonsense.
“Xu Mo! You’re here too!”
Xu Mo had just arrived at the entrance of the lecture hall when a familiar voice came from behind him. He turned around and immediately saw several familiar faces.
It was Sixth Elder Sister Xu Yuanchan, Fourth Elder Sister Xu Pandi, and Xie Bingyan.
They seemed to have come over to listen to Xu Junzhe’s nonsense as well.
Xu Mo wanted to turn and leave, but Xu Yuanchan stopped him angrily, “Xu Mo, I’ve been looking for you for a long time. Now you see me and ignore me? What about Mom, didn’t you see her?”
Xie Bingyan also looked over, expressionless.
“So what if I saw? Who are you?” Xu Mo retorted.
Xu Yuanchan became furious at his words, “Mom’s sick, and you haven’t even gone to see her. What’s your intention? Junzhe is much more filial than you!”
He wouldn’t have brought up Xu Junzhe if she hadn’t, Xu Mo suddenly found it a bit funny.
“Well, she’s not dead yet! And neither are you!” Xu Mo replied.
Xu Yuanchan was enraged, “Xu Mo, how dare you insult me?”
“So what if I insult you? Who do you think you are?” Xu Mo scoffed.
“You…”
“Xu Mo, you’ve really changed! Just because you started some shared bike business, you think you’re so great? Let me tell you, Junzhe is also in the sharing industry, and he’s doing better than you, growing faster. Your shared bikes will go bankrupt sooner or later!” Xu Pandi stepped forward and added.
Xu Mo looked at her and sarcastically smiled, “Think whatever you want!”
He didn’t bother to argue with her, feeling it was a total waste of time!
Xu Mo wanted to leave, but the elevator was near Xie Bingyan. As he took a step, Xie Bingyan and Xu Pandi blocked his path.
“Xu Mo, Mom has been sick for several days now. Can’t you even ask about her?” Xu Pandi’s face was full of anger.
Xu Mo saw them blocking his way and said, “Isn’t she still alive? Isn’t she still breathing? A few days ago, I thought she was already gone. I almost lit firecrackers!”
“You…” Xu Pandi was furious.
“You will always be my son!” Xie Bingyan spoke up at this moment, staring at him.
Xu Mo squinted sharply.
“You can’t compete with Junzhe! He’s progressing rapidly, and your so-called shared bikes will only be nibbled away! You should return to the Xu family if you want a future! Otherwise, you’ll go bankrupt!” Xie Bingyan continued.
“Is that so?” Xu Mo countered.
“Or perhaps, hand over the shared bike business to our Xu family to manage! With our support, you can truly develop! Right now, you’ve reached your limit, there’s no more room for growth!” Xie Bingyan seemed to have made a judgment.
“How much money did you give him?” Xu Mo asked.
“Fifty million, possibly more!” Xie Bingyan replied, her whole demeanor resembling a soulless puppet, appearing very dull.
“I see, I’ve made some guesses too! Without money, he couldn’t have developed so quickly!” Xu Mo nodded. “Money and power, indeed, they’re good things. With these, everything flows smoothly!”
“If necessary, he can do even better! I’ve already spoken with your grandparents, and the Xie family will provide strong support!” Xie Bingyan’s expression remained empty as she continued, “As for you, without returning to our Xu family and without the support of our Xie family, you will definitely go bankrupt!”
Xu Mo felt irony and chuckled, “If I go bankrupt, you’ll be very happy, won’t you?”
Xie Bingyan’s expression remained blank. “You’ve never been obedient since you were young. You need proper guidance to have a future! Without the upbringing of our Xu and Xie families, you’ll never amount to anything, forever at the bottom!”
“Well… when you abandoned me back then, I suppose you made a lot of mental preparations! But at this point, you probably didn’t anticipate this!” Xu Mo was no longer angry, smiling faintly. “Actually, if I wanted help from the Xu family, it would be quite easy. But as for your Xie family… what about it?”
“No matter what happened before or what will happen in the future, I am still your biological mother!” Xie Bingyan’s gaze remained vacant as she continued speaking.
“Give it a rest! A tiger doesn’t eat its cubs!” Xu Mo shrugged, calmly stating, “I understand what you want to do. I understand if you want to get back at Xu Deming. But… don’t cry in the future. Could there come a day when it’s you who cries to death?”
He continued speaking:
“Xie Bingyan! Whether I go bankrupt or not, regardless of how my business fares, no matter how my career and life turn out, I will wait for that day to come!”
“I will watch you lying on a hospital bed, your hair falling out strand by strand, your blood dripping away! I will watch you slowly suffer and gasp for breath, until there’s no breath left! I might even set off a string of firecrackers by your side to celebrate your ascension!”
“Xie Bingyan, believe me, I will outlive you! I will earnestly await the arrival of that day! It will bring me immense joy!”
“You…” Xu Yuanchan and Xu Pandi’s faces turned pale with shock.
“There will be such a day!” Xu Mo’s face lit up with a smile as he continued, “That day will come very soon! It won’t be long before I see it! You, and you, and all of you from the Xu family will see it too!”
Xu Mo took a few steps back, still smiling. “Now, laugh all you want, enjoy yourselves! After all, there aren’t many good days left for you!”
Everyone present was shaken to the core.
“Xu Mo, you… you’re so vicious!” Sixth Elder Sister Xu Yuanchan exclaimed, her eyes reddening.
“Me, vicious?” Xu Mo looked at her and laughed again. “Xu Yuanchan, who’s being vicious here? Supporting this adopted son of yours just to eat away at my market, to compete with me and drive me to bankruptcy? I understand your intentions very well! You call me vicious? Am I one percent as vicious as you?”
He then turned to Xie Bingyan. “Xie Bingyan, if you think I’m vicious, then I’m definitely a hundred times more vicious than you! Let me tell you frankly, when you abandoned me, even ants biting me all over couldn’t kill me. So now, I’m even more indestructible! Don’t you dare… die before me!”
After saying this, Xu Mo turned and walked away!
Xu Yuanchan and Xu Pandi stood there, stunned. They opened their mouths as if to speak, but suddenly found their throats dry, unable to utter a word.
Xu Yuanchan glanced back at Xie Bingyan, only to see her with a calm, empty expression.
However, Xu Yuanchan quickly noticed that Xie Bingyan’s face was pale, her hands trembling violently, though she was desperately trying to conceal it.
A sudden silence fell over the surroundings, where you could hear a pin drop, and not a sound from any bird.
