Xu Junzhe was immediately triggered by the word “adopted.” He felt a surge of anger in his heart. But as soon as he noticed the many people around him, his anger dissipated, and he quickly covered his face, putting on a pitiful expression.
“Brother Xu Mo, you, you…”
“Xu Junzhe, you’re quite impressive! You can endure this, showing great flexibility. You have the potential to achieve great things!” Seeing this, Xu Mo couldn’t help but laugh again and gave him a thumbs-up. “But don’t worry, we’ll take our time and play this game!”
A hint of coldness and resentment flashed in Xu Junzhe’s heart, but he didn’t show it. He mumbled, “Brother Xu Mo, what are you talking about? I don’t understand!”
“You understand! You’ve always understood!” Xu Mo laughed. “Even if they are in front of us, so what? If I want to hit you, I can still hit you! An adopted child is just an adopted child. How can you compare to a biological one? Don’t you agree, my dear little brother Xu Junzhe?”
In the past, Xu Junzhe might not have worried about such remarks because Xie Bingyan and Xu Deming would surely punish Xu Mo.
He would be made to stand in a corner, get his palms slapped, or even be confined.
But now, it seemed that Xu Mo no longer feared even Xie Bingyan and Xu Deming; he didn’t regard them as important. If he really did hit him, it was likely that Xie Bingyan and Xu Deming wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.
No matter how much Xie Bingyan and Xu Deming might punish Xu Mo, they were unlikely to send him to the police station, as it would affect the Xu family’s reputation.
Moreover, a biological son is still a biological son; they are even less likely to send Xu Mo to jail.
Even though Xu Deming doesn’t usually involve himself much in household matters, if something major happens at home, it’s still Xu Deming who makes the final decision.
When it comes to deciding who will inherit the Xu family’s billions, Xu Deming probably wouldn’t hesitate too much. No matter how well he treats an adopted son, it can’t compare to his own biological son.
This is the reality!
At this moment, Xu Junzhe felt only frustration.
Especially because he wanted to maintain his image of being sensible and well-behaved, he didn’t dare to openly conflict with Xu Mo at home and could only passively take the blows.
His heart was filled with resentment, and he could only clench his fists tightly, letting his nails dig deep into his palms.
“Daring to hit people? Xu Mo, you’re becoming more and more unruly, aren’t you? Is there no one who can control you anymore?” Suddenly, a voice of fury came from behind.
Xu Mo looked up and saw none other than Xie Bingyan.
She quickly came down from the second floor, her face full of anger.
“Oh! Another great savior has appeared!” Xu Mo glanced back at Xu Junzhe and laughed mockingly. “Go ahead and cry to her! Better hurry before it’s too late!”
Xu Junzhe felt even more stifled and furious, but he still turned around, covering his face with a pitiful expression, and ran towards Xie Bingyan.
“Mom, don’t blame Brother Xu Mo, it’s all my fault…” Xu Junzhe said.
“What fault could you have? It’s all this unfilial son!” Xie Bingyan looked at him and, seeing his swollen right cheek, felt a bit of pity before glaring angrily at Xu Mo. “You are becoming more and more unruly. Do you think no one can discipline you anymore? What are you doing coming back to the Xu family home?”
Xu Mo shrugged, neither sad nor happy. “I have something to discuss.”
“Mom! Don’t be angry yet, let Xu Mo come in first!” Xu Wanting, also surprised by Xu Mo’s sudden action, quickly intervened.
She then urgently turned to Xu Shuying. “Fifth Sister, hurry and call Dad down! Tell him Xu Mo is back!”
Xu Shuying nodded and hurried up to the second floor.
Xie Bingyan, her face full of anger, became even more furious upon seeing Xu Mo’s flashy attire. “Who are you dressing up for? For us to see? Whose car is that outside?”
Xu Mo spread his hands. “I rented it!”
“Oh? Rented, huh?” Xie Bingyan’s gaze sharpened. “You’ve gotten bolder! Haven’t you already disowned us? What are you doing back at the Xu family home? Let me tell you, Xu Mo, if you don’t change your ways this time, you can forget about ever entering the Xu family home again!”
Xu Mo remained calm and spread his hands, smiling. “Xie Bingyan, stop yelling at me! There’s no need to shout! I’ve made your adopted son cry, so go ahead and comfort him!”
“You… you called me by my full name?” Xie Bingyan sprang up from the sofa, glaring at Xu Mo with a furious expression.
Xu Mo, however, looked at her with disdain. “So what if I called you by your full name? Xie Bingyan, do you still think you’re my mom? Let me tell you, that will never happen!”
“You… you’re driving me crazy! Eldest, bring me the ruler; I need to teach him a lesson!” Xie Bingyan’s anger seemed ready to erupt, her fury evident.
However, Xu Wanting didn’t move, her eyes red. “Mom, please sit down first! Let’s wait until Dad comes down to talk.”
“Talk about what? There’s nothing to talk about! This unfilial son, if I don’t give him a good beating today, I won’t be satisfied!” Xie Bingyan turned to find the ruler herself.
Seeing this, Tang Lei and a few others approached Xu Mo.
Xie Bingyan became even more furious. “Oh, great! You brought so many people just to provoke me, didn’t you? Xu Mo, you are truly unworthy of being called a son!”
“Xie Bingyan, what madness is this?”
Xu Mo was about to retort when suddenly, another voice interrupted.
“Xu Deming, you’re just in time! This unfilial son has become completely uncontrollable. He even dares to call me by my full name! No one can discipline him anymore, truly no one!” Xie Bingyan shouted angrily.
“Let’s deal with the matter first! Why do you keep making such a fuss here?” Xu Deming frowned and said coldly.
“Making a fuss? Xu Deming, are you daring to scold me now?” Xie Bingyan, embarrassed and furious, glared at Xu Deming.
Xu Deming, feeling helpless, sighed and said, “Didn’t we talk about this yesterday? Can’t you be quiet for a while? Look at the situation now; can you even hit him?”
Xie Bingyan glanced back and saw Xu Mo, Tang Lei, and several other strong men staring at her with mocking eyes.
She became furious again.
“Just sit down for now! Let’s finish discussing the matter at hand!” Xu Deming was also very displeased with Xu Mo’s behavior.
Especially seeing the several cars and the large group of people outside, he was even more dissatisfied, not understanding why Xu Mo had brought so many people back.
However, this time he didn’t let his anger cloud his judgment. With a grim face, he walked over and sat opposite Xu Mo.
“Eldest, brew some tea!” he instructed, seeming to realize that Xu Mo bringing so many people this time meant the matter was not simple.
Seeing this, Xu Wanting nodded and brewed the tea, quickly returning to serve it to everyone.
“How do you plan to handle those shared bicycles of yours?” Xu Deming clearly didn’t want to engage in small talk with Xu Mo, speaking in a cold tone.
Perhaps Xu Mo calling Xie Bingyan by her full name made him realize that his biological son no longer wanted to acknowledge them at all.
“We’re going nationwide, starting with major cities and moving to secondary cities later!” Xu Mo replied with a smile.
“What about the deposits you’re holding? Can you manage all those deposits? I’ve seen analyses suggesting you’ve started investing!” Xu Deming continued to inquire.
“Deposits are one of our profit points! We need to ensure profitability!”
“Are you sure this will be profitable and not pose significant risks? What if you incur losses? How will you reimburse user deposits?” Xu Deming pressed on.
“Investment carries risks and losses are normal occurrences! But as long as we continue to grow, we’re not afraid of losses!” Xu Mo responded.
“You’re setting yourself up for a potential disaster!” Xu Deming stared at him.
Xu Mo chuckled and looked at him. “This is our affair, it doesn’t concern you! I came here today to discuss something else.”
“What do you want to discuss then?” Xu Deming frowned.
Xu Mo glanced around and saw that everyone except Xu Yuanchan was present. He smiled and said, “Great! Everyone is here and can witness this! Additionally, I’ve invited two lawyers to assist me in our discussions! This is Attorney Jia and Attorney Chen. Please greet them!”
Xu Deming, Xu Wanting, and the others looked at the two lawyers, frowning.
“Mr. Xu, Ms. Xie, hello!” The two lawyers greeted them.
Xu Deming furrowed his brow, staring at Xu Mo. “Xu Mo, what do you mean?”
“No special meaning, just feel that your Xu family isn’t worthy of me anymore, so I want to completely break away!” Xu Mo shrugged, taking a document from Lawyer Chen. “The last time we signed the severance agreement, it didn’t have legal significance. So, this time, I want to make it official and legally binding. I’m moving my household registration away!”
As these words were uttered, Xu Deming, Xu Wanting, and the others were stunned.
Utterly shocked!
