Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 765: Chapter 764 What Kind of Relatives Are We?

Zhang Aiyun was also shockingly affected, yet she managed to handle it a little better than Hu Yong.

She quietly tugged on Hu Yong’s clothes and whispered, ”Old Hu, Su Yang... Su Yang this...”

Hu Yong wiped his eyes and said with red eyes, ”He is my comrade-in-arms, my brother!”

”I know, but... but these are too valuable...” Zhang Aiyun said in a low voice.

She was just a woman from a modest family, with no great ambitions in life. Unlike her sister, she never dreamt of wealth and luxury; all she wanted was for her family to be safe and sound, and that was enough for her.

Su Yang offering several companies at once had truly stunned her; she was so scared that she didn’t even dare to accept them.

Hu Yong also came back to his senses, realizing in his excitement, he hadn’t considered the excessive value of the gifts.

”Su Yang...” Hu Yong said softly, ”I... I can’t accept these...”

Su Yang naturally heard the conversation between Zhang Aiyun and Hu Yong and felt even more respect for Zhang Aiyun. This woman, basically living at the bottom of society, was able to maintain such a heart, which really wasn’t easy.

”Brother Yong, you shouldn’t refuse,” Su Yang said with a smile, patting Hu Yong’s shoulder. ”We’re brothers, what’s there that we can’t accept from each other?”

”If we are really brothers, then I should refuse even more!” Hu Yong hurriedly said. ”I’m happy that you treat me as your brother, but among brothers, we shouldn’t mix in these benefits.”

Su Yang fell silent for a moment, knowing Hu Yong well enough to understand that convincing him wouldn’t be easy with his character.

Just then, Shen Jing’an suddenly smiled and said, ”Master Su, how about this? Since the companies are still in our name for the time being, why not hire Mr. Hu to manage the companies for us? How does that sound?”

As Shen Jing’an spoke, she leaned towards Su Yang and whispered, ”Later on, we can just treat it like dividends, giving him the company’s annual income each year. It might be a better approach.”

Su Yang’s eyes lit up; Shen Jing’an’s idea was indeed a good one. It could resolve the issue with Hu Yong, and also allow him to save face, which seemed more appropriate.

”That sounds good,” Su Yang said, looking at Hu Yong with a smile. ”Brother Yong, does this work for you?”

Hu Yong didn’t hear the words Shen Jing’an whispered to Su Yang, but he desperately needed the job. He also understood that this was the best solution.

So, he smiled and joked, ”Elder Shen, my fees are quite high, I won’t take the job if the monthly salary is less than three thousand!”

”Hahaha...” Shen Jing’an laughed heartily, ”As for the salary, don’t you worry. Pack up and start work tomorrow; just don’t be late!”

Everyone exchanged smiles, and Zhang Aiyun also laughed sincerely.

When Old Fang mentioned firing Hu Yong, she felt as if the sky in her household was collapsing. But now, everything had cleared up once more, and all her anxiety had dissipated.

With the issue resolved, everyone dispersed, and Su Yang and his group returned to their room to continue the feast. Only this time, with Shen Jing’an present, the circumstance was slightly different.

The most awkward ones in Wanhu Manor were now Zhang Aiqin and her daughter, Lili.

They had originally followed Director Lin to dinner, but now Director Lin was finished, taken away by others, and they didn’t know what to do.

The two women wanted to enter Su Yang’s private room, but were stopped at the door and not allowed to get any closer.

Zhang Aiqin, unwilling to give up, shouted for Zhang Aiyun from outside, hoping to rely on their family bond to get Zhang Aiyun to come out and help.

Zhang Aiyun, upon hearing Zhang Aiqin’s voice, did hesitate somewhat, but ultimately did not get up. Although this was her sister, the things Zhang Aiqin had done that day were simply too cruel, and Zhang Aiyun also harbored resentment against her in her heart.

The reason Su Yang ignored Zhang Aiqin was mainly out of consideration for Zhang Aiyun; he couldn’t make it difficult for her. Otherwise, he would have thrown Zhang Aiqin into the river to feed the fish long ago.

However, although they could escape the death penalty, they would not escape punishment. Su Yang had Manager Wang throw Zhang Aiqin and her daughter into Wanhu, letting them struggle in the water for a while, on the pretext that they had tried to dine and dash.

Although it was Director Lin who invited them to dinner that evening, Director Lin was already done for, and the bill hadn’t been paid. Using this reason to deal with them was most fitting.

It was only after Su Yang and his group had finished dinner and come out that Zhang Aiqin and her daughter climbed out of Wanhu. They didn’t see Su Yang and the others but did see Manager Wang, and immediately fell to their knees, trembling and pleading, ”We... We will go back and scrape together the money for you, we will definitely get the money. Please spare us, please spare us...”

Zhang Aiyun found the sight somewhat hard to bear, but ultimately, she turned her head away and did not look.

Hu Yong gave the two of them a cold look and didn’t say a word. Over the years, he had been looked down upon by this mother and daughter, especially Zhang Aiqin, who had been downright sharp and harsh to him. Tonight, he could finally take a breath of relief!

Zhang Aiqin also saw Su Yang and the others and immediately shouted, ”Younger sister, younger sister, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, save me... save us... I’m begging you, I’m begging you...”

Zhang Aiyun simply ignored her and hurried off with Xiao Jie. Hu Yong turned his head to look at Zhang Aiqin and said coldly, ”Eldest sister, didn’t you say that even if you were to die, you absolutely wouldn’t come begging to us? So, are you about to die now?”

Zhang Aiqin’s face flushed with shame, but the ordeal she had just experienced in the water made her forget about her pride.

”Brother-in-law, the things that happened before were all my fault. I know I was wrong. Please, as a magnanimous person, overlook the offenses of us lesser people. Please spare me. Save me, save us, after all... we are still relatives...” Zhang Aiqin said with a quivering voice.

”Don’t talk as if we’re close. When you were following Director Lin, you never considered us family!” Hu Yong said coldly, ”I don’t have any relatives like you. I hope you remember from now on, there is no relationship between us!”

With that, Hu Yong turned and walked away, not giving Zhang Aiqin so much as a glance.

Zhang Aiqin stood there, stunned, and finally slumped to the ground. She knew that she had definitively missed her chance to soar to great heights.

Moreover, this was the best opportunity, one where she did not have to sacrifice her daughter’s happiness or suffer any losses. If only she had treated Hu Yong better in the past, she would certainly have reaped great benefits from him in the future.

Considering how Su Yang had commanded such respect that evening, if she had been on good terms with Hu Yong, she would have been able to strut around Wanhu City using Hu Yong’s name in the future!

But now, she had completely missed this opportunity.

At Wanhu Manor’s lobby earlier, her sarcastic remarks at Hu Yong, and the utterances during their quarrel were heard by everyone. Everyone knew their relationship was bad, and from now on, even if she wanted to use Hu Yong’s name, no one would believe her!

Zhang Aiqin, this opportunistic woman, ultimately doomed her own brilliant future because of her opportunism.
